Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto...period...
Hey what's up guys another story popping up in my head. Just some inspiration from some animes I've watched, not the story but more of the setting and place...yeah. Hope you enjoy!
Update: 4/12/13 Well I decided to fix some stuff here. I hope I got most of them...
Chapter 1: Am I in the Right School?
Haruno Sakura was a just a simple girl. Even though she was was orphan for all she could remember, Sakura was helpful, intelligent, and was always a very understanding person. At middle school she was always the one student people would look up to, the one student people would be jealous of, the one student people would always greet. Normally she would've gone to the high school right by her middle school. However she got a letter from her supposed aunt, Tsunade, about sending her to this boarding school.
"Wow amazing Sakura, to be allowed in such a prestige place." were the words of one of her old teachers.
She couldn't help but agree however something was wrong with the school, though she'll admit the school grounds were nice. Many fountains surrounded a supposed park, and there were various building surrounding the courtyard, where she was at.
"Ok building with the logo." she reminded herself of the directions.
The building to her left screamed feminine. The color was a fading scarlet and there were various twirls of design at the building. It also had many windows looking towards the main building. She could hear the many loud gossips at the distance.
"The girl's dorm, I'm staying there." Sakura told herself.
The building at the left was the opposite. The color was a simple blue but she could she some aspects of green. Like the girl's dorm it had windows facing the school as well. There was chatter, screaming, and cursing coming from that direction.
"The boy's dorm, can't be there." the pink haired girl told herself about the school rules.
Lastly the main building, which was in front of her. The front had a simple yet, to her, odd symbol. The building was very big, especially for a supposed high school. Still Sakura can't believe she will be, technically, living here for the next couple of years.
"Well here I go!" she told herself enthusiastically as she dashed towards the main building.
As of today, Sakura was officially weirded out.
"W-Where am I?" she asked herself.
She wasn't lost, definitely not. Her aunt gave her easy directions and she has a good sense of direction as well.
"Watch it weirdo!" someone shoved her aside, since she stood in the middle of a hallway.
The person was a strange sight, to put it in simple terms: he had a horn coming out of his forehead.
"Where is this?" Sakura wondered to herself.
She took note of the many supposed students around here. Some had wings, some had tails, even some just phased through other students! She wouldn't lie though, there were some people that look impossibly beautiful.
"Probably a vampire?" she thought to herself, seeing all these supposed teenagers as mystical creatures.
She was just a normal girl compared to everyone else!
"Ah Sakura glad you can make it!"
These were the words that came out of her aunt's mouth. The woman was sitting down in front of her personal desk. Various papers were scattered around and there was an empty bottle of a drink next to her. Tsunade smiled at the young girl.
Sakura had a baffled look on her face as she couldn't explain herself. "I..what...how...what is going on?!"
She was indeed confused.
"Well my dear niece." Tsudande stood up from her comfortable leather seat. "This is Leaf Academy, one of the best places to go for an excellent education!"
She seemed so pleased with her statement since she is the principal of the school.
"You know what I mean auntie." Sakura groaned in displeasure. "S-Someone went right through me and someone looking too good, oh and there was this guy that like flew above me!"
"Well Leaf Academy does send letters to those privileged students." Tsunade smiled at her, avoiding her explanations.
"S-So with all these...people around." Sakura started with a glint. "Are there vampires?"
Tsunade couldn't help but just laugh at the question.
"No Sakura there are no such things as vampires." she said once she stopped laughing.
"What but there are ghost, demons and gargoyles!" Sakura shouted out in confusion.
Tsunade couldn't help but pat her head full of affection. Sakura also added. "You reek of sake."
"Well I'm a sake demon and I practically live in this." Tsunade calmly explained.
"Sake demon?" questioned Sakura.
Tsunade began to explain on how it is a required part of her nutrients. She also started to explain on how all of the students here were somehow mystical creatures that normal people wouldn't believe they would exist but are only fiction. She also pointed out on how her homeroom will be filled with many heirs and heiress of the many monsters and creatures Sakura read in myth books.
"So you're like a vampire that needs blood, except it's that." Sakura pointed out as she covered her nose from the stench.
"For the last time there are no such thing as vampires!"
Her heart was beating very fast, her hands were shaking from being so nervous, Sakura felt like it was middle school all over again. Being the new student, where all the attention was to you, where she will be judged quickly without a second glance, where she will hopefully make new friends.
"You may come in!" the teacher called her out.
She opened the door quickly as she walked into the front of the classroom. Many eyes were staring at her waiting for some response.
"I-I'm Haruno Sakura pleased to meet you!" she said a little too loudly, for herself.
Her classmates were an interesting sight, since after all they were these supposed monsters, demons, and that kind of category but all Sakura saw were the many kinds of eyes still staring right into her.
"Gotta make a good first impression, new school means new me, right?" she thought to herself as she stared at her homeroom teacher.
He almost looked normal, key word almost. The only thing that truly did stand out was various parts of his body seemed to have hay sticking out of it, even his silver hair had hay sticking out of it! Plus he's also wearing a surgeon's mask to cover up his face.
"So you're a scarecrow, right sensei?" asked Sakura.
"Yup, Hatake Kakashi but I prefer being called Kakashi-sensei." the scarecrow nodded as he decided to sit down. "Very perceiving for a human."
Sakura's eye twitched, she could feel the sarcasm oozing from this one.
"Woah a human!" a blonde screamed in fascination.
"Shut it Naruto!" another blonde besides the boy smacked Naruto at the head.
Sakura grimaced, in the inside, at them once again. She took note of the first blonde, he had fox ears and tails as his more noticeable traits. The other blonde that hit the boy looked almost normal, her long platinum blonde hair was unreal but her eyes frightened her, there were no pupils, just a shade of pale blue.
"Those two seemed like a lively bunch." Sakura's mind wandered off.
She sat down by a seemingly normal pale guy. As Kakashi began his welcoming speech, she greeted the boy. "Hi my name's Haruno Sakura, what's your's?"
It seemed simply enough a basic greeting, but when the black haired boy turned around, his blood red eyes stared right into her soul!
"Vampire!" she shrieked from the stare as everyone's attention is right on her.
Everybody just stared at her for a few good seconds, until a brunette with sharp fangs screamed out. "There's no such thing as vampires!"
"Hahaha!" was the classroom's reaction from the only human.
She finally got a better look at her seatmate, he truly was pale though his black spiky hair made him stood out more. The only reason she freaked out was the scarlet eyes, which were in a strange design of sorts. She felt stupid and brash at her sudden reaction.
"Uchiha Sasuke." the boy introduced himself ignoring all the laughing around them.
Sakura only blushed at her current situation as she silently begged herself on why did she scream.
"This is gonna be a long day." she thought to herself.
"Ok room 211, 211, 211..."
Right now Sakura was exploring the girl's dorm, for her room. She already knew she's gonna have roommates but the problem was, who is it going to be.
"Hopefully not one of those slimy girl's." she told herself until her eyes widened.
She looked around, shocked to see nobody at the hallways of the dormitory. Though she sighed in relief: she didn't want to offend anybody else, especially the one called Sasuke.
"Then what is he?" she asked herself.
Well she took note of many students she she would guess on what kind of creature they were but some were just strange, like with Tsunade, who told her she was a sake demon. Even if the woman looked very human she had a godly tolerance for alcohol though she did prefer sake. Then there's Sasuke he almost looked human, besides the red eyes, but he wasn't showing off anything like wings or tails.
Sakura then found herself staring at a door with 211 up front. She took a nervous gulp as she took out her keys. When she's about to put it in the lock the door suddenly opened.
"Ahh!" she fell in shocked from her own nervousness.
"Oh I'm sorry!" a female voice said as she offered her hand.
As Sakura took the offer she immediately recognized the girl in front of her. "You!"
"Oh the human girl." the blonde, that hit the fox boy, pointed out. "You must be our third roommate."
"Y-Yes I am." Sakura nodded quickly.
The blonde gestured her in the room and Sakura gasped at the place. It was pretty high classed, the bed's were huge and there's a flat screen right on the other side. Sakura quickly took note of a bathroom door and also a really good view of the school's courtyard. What made it even fancier was the fact the curtains and bed sheets had frills!
"Woah!" Sakura breathed out in amazement.
"For a human you seemed so amazed by a simple room." the blonde said. "Oops I forgot to introduce myself from earlier, my name Yamanaka Ino!"
"Haruno-"
"Sakura, such a cute name for someone like you." interrupted Ino with a smile. "Plus screaming vampire at first day definitely made my day."
As Sakura recalled Ino wasn't one of the ones that laughed out loud, she just had a smile on her face. She felt the girls eyes observing every moment of her at the room, but it held no hostility, it was more like curiosity.
"I-I thought he was..." she started but couldn't make the words form out.
"Everyone in the Undead Realms know there are no such things as vampires." Ino laughed as she patted Sakura's head.
"Undead Realm?" Sakura wondered.
Ino grinned as she pushed her more into the room. Sakura glanced at another girl reading a book. "An angel?"
The girl's long purple hair was all over the bed, her nervous pale white eyes looked straight into her. It felt like her soul was being judged until the girl hid behind her white feathery wings. The girl looked like she would get surprised by anything. "H-Hello."
"Oh hello my name is Haruno Sakura and your's?" Sakura asked again, to her honest self she never gets sick when she introduces herself to someone.
"H-Hyuuga Hinata." the angelic girl said as she went back on her book.
"Hinata's a shy one but she's really one of the sweetest people in the Celestial Realm!" Ino patted the shy girl's head.
"What's an Undead Realm and Celestial Realm?" Sakura asked as her curiosity got to her.
"Oh yeah humans aren't really aware of us living with them." Ino reminded herself.
"B-But in this we are allowed to be in our true form." Hinata added. "I-It always hurts w-when I have to h-hide my w-w-wings."
Both girls nodded to each other as Ino began her explanation. "Well there are four realms though only three of them are aware of each other. You got your Human Realm. There's the Undead Realm, filled with ghouls, banshees, specters and any of that sort. We pretty much live in the dark but that doesn't mean sunlight can hurt us, we just have a lower tolerance to sunlight. We're ruled over by the necromancers but they let us do whatever we want."
If they were undead then why does a certain bloodsucking creature doesn't exist? Sakura expressed her thoughts. "But no vampires?"
The ghost girl started to giggle though she did stop herself. "We're called undead as in not dead, plus drinking blood is just utterly disgusting. Most of the Undead Realm are either people with some total skin issues or we could float and phase through stuff!"
"Isn't ghost a better term?" Sakura wondered.
"Well it's what you humans call us, but yeah pretty much." Ino answered, though she continued on. "Then there's the Celestial Realm, there the least amount in the school here. Hinata do you mind explaining your kind?"
"N-No not at all." the angel shook her head. "W-We c-consist of a-angel, a-archangels, s-seraphs a-and much m-more. W-Well we glow majestically depending on how much p-power we e-each have. It's r-ruled b-by a hierarchy by the C-Celestial K-King himself, my f-father."
The human girl's jaw simply dropped as she stared at the angel. The daughter of the supposed strongest angel attending this academy. seemed so ridiculous., then again attending an academy filled with these kind of people was crazy enough for her.
"And most of the time they're stuck up about being 'supreme beings'!" Ino growled in annoyance, though she could feel Hinata's powerful glance at her. "B-Besides our cute Hinata over here, she's really sweet and nice!"
"And the last one is?" the sole human questioned the two.
"Demon Realm." answered Ino. "I can't count how many kinds of demon there are since there so many kinds of them."
"W-Well the elementals are included as well." Hinata added on.
"Right, anyways demons are not so bad as you humans think." Ino began. "They're just as bad as any other human out there no offense."
"None taken." said Sakura
She never did anything bad but she did thought of very violent ways on making people miserable especially on a bad day.
"Demons are full of variety like the ones you see at the hallway. Some can fly, some have tails, some can even take on some shapes of an animal!" explained Ino.
"Like that fox guy, what's his name again?" recalled Sakura with a thoughtful look.
"N-Naruto." answered Hinata with a deep blush. "H-He's a f-fox demon, which a-are t-tricksters b-but t-they never mean a-any harm. N-Naruto h-has s-such a good heart."
Sakura couldn't help but smirk at the girl's explanation and admiring face. She dared herself to tease the angel. "Somebody's got a crush."
Hinata's face turned a deeper shade of red as she hid herself with her huge wings.
"Yup like that, Hinata!" Ino grinned.
Since Sakura got her crash course on the realms, she now had more questions.
"So Ino what are you then?" asked Sakura once again.
"I'm a banshee!" Ino beamed with pride. "We're like what you humans call a female ghost though there is one thing special about us. We can sing so beautifully in our folk tongue but you human don't like it at all."
Sakura read tales of banshees where their screams are the definition of death itself. "It's not gonna kill me, is it?"
"Depends on the human they will hear what they wish to hear." explained Ino.
"E-Everyone h-has a d-different p-preference." Hinata told her thoughts.
"Yup that's why I love you Hinata!" Ino decided to glomp the angel with glee.
"I-Ino..." Hinata stuttered
Sakura looked on with total envy. She never really had any close friends despite her popularity at her old middle school. She sighed at the two as she check on her stuff, which were already packed out. All her clothes and materials were placed out and took note of a closet by the door.
"I'm here for the next four years so why not." she thought to hersel.
As she opened the door she was greeted by a even larger room. It was like a warehouse full of clothes was standing right in front of her. Sakura couldn't resist gaping at the sight.
"Oh yeah you've never seen our closets. Whoops." Ino smiled at the gaping girl. "Well there are three sections for each of us!"
Sakura took note of signs right above on top of two of the stacks, the other girls' names were written on it. She took note of Hinata's clothes usually consisted of white and purple colors. In contrast to Hinata, Ino had darker colors though purple was still in there. She sighed as she took her small pile of clothes compared to theirs. She quickly took note of an empty sign so she took the liberty to write her name.
"Wow." awed Sakura in amazement. "It's all the clothing stores in one big place."
"Thanks anyways you wanna hang out with us?" Ino suggested with a welcoming smile.
Sakura thought about it for a second. Here she had two friendly roommates, which was a total relief, and she is the only human at the campus. She'll admit she missed her old friends back at middle school but it's a new chance for her.
"Sure." Sakura nodded.
"C'mon Hinata let's go!"
"I-Ino don't d-drag me."
As she walked behind the banshee and angel, Sakura couldn't help but feel self-conscious. She glanced at her two new friends with total jealously.
"They're...bouncing." Sakura thought with a sad sigh.
"Hey what's wrong Sakura?" Ino wondered as she is suddenly next to Sakura while Hinata was suddenly behind them. "Don't tell me you are..."
Ino looked down towards Sakura's chest. Her mouth was starting to shape into the letter 'O', until she giggled. "If you're gonna be jealous then angels have the biggest one."
"I-Ino!" Hinata shrieked with a huge blush. "D-Don't!"
"Sorry Hinata but Sakura is just jealous of us especially you!" Ino pointed out.
"Sorry." Hinata meeped.
Sakura couldn't help but pat the girl's head. Just the sight made the angel looked very cute. She smiled at Hinata.
"It's fine Hinata." she smiled at the shy girl. "What could she be eating?"
The trio finally got to the designated spot. Sakura was shocked on how typical their spot could be. It had a nice view on campus and the breeze was just making her feel calmer. Though she was surprised on how they were let in, especially after school hours.
"Well we're all practically living here so the school is always open." Ino answered her unasked question. "Besides it helps the fact if we forget something here we could just get it."
"So are we early?" Sakura wondered as it was only the three of them.
"Nope they're late." Ino gritted her teeth.
Ino was chatting animatedly towards the two girls. Sakura was amazed by how much rumors and gossip were around the place. Still having friends at the first day definitely made it more bearable.
"You guys are late!" Ino shouted suddenly, breaking Sakura out of her thoughts. "And everyone's not here!"
"Troublesome woman, some had club meetings." a young man with pineapple hair sighed, it looked like he was used to Ino's shouting.
"Yeah I was finishing up some of my ramen." the blonde fox boy, Sakura noted, rubbed his head.
"The fangirls can't get me here." the accused 'vampire', Sakura pointed out, said so calmly with a blank face.
"Oh right Shogi Club." Ino smacked her head. "Totally forget, sorry Shikamaru!"
"H-how much d-did you e-eat N-Naruto?" Hinata stumbled her words.
"I lost count after twenty..." Naruto thought outloud.
Sakura couldn't help herself once again as she gaped at the statement. That was so much food, but the boy Naruto seemed so fit. She stared at the last boy, if she recalled he introduced himself to her already.
"Hello Sasuke." she said suddenly, as the black haired boy's attention is at her. She was the center of attention whether she willed it or not, but Sasuke's stare was very different it made her nervous. "Sorry about calling you a vampire and all."
"Hn." was the respond.
"Oh yeah human girl here made my day calling the bastard a vampire good one!" Naruto gave her a thumbs up.
"Well since she is a human she doesn't understand our world's concepts and such plus given Sasuke's looks and his characteristics, it's natural for a human to call him a vampire. First day was such a pain I couldn't sleep from all the laughter" Shikamaru analyzed and complained. "I bet Ino already told you our realms."
"Y-Yes!" Sakura said a little too loud for her own delight.
"Proper introductions guys!" Ino mellowed out
The three boys looked at Sakura with different looks. Shikamaru had a disinterested look, Naruto seemed curiously cute, while Sasuke stared blankly.
"I'm Nara Shikamaru a shadow demon." Shikamaru introduced himself. "Shadow Demons have powers on manipulating shadows, hence the name, like moving another person's shadow or we hide in them."
"Uzumaki Naruto I'm a fox demon, please to meet you!" Naruto pointed to himself with pride. "Us fox demons? Well we're pretty fast agile and oh do you know those japanese myths on kitsunes? That's practically my family line!"
Sakura nodded at the info for their supposed kinds then she glanced at the last one. He wasn't staring at her, it was like he was looking into her soul for some dark secret. It felt more dangerous when Hinata was observing her.
"Uchiha Sasuke, a mimic." the boy properly introduced himself, though his eyes hardened at bit. "Not a vampire. Mimics have the ability to transform into anyone or anything at will. This form is just the look inherited when my parents decided to with humans. I have no true form.'
Sakura gaped at the info, she might've been living with these kinds of people and she wouldn't even be aware of it! She felt everyone's stare at her.
"H-Haruno Sakura a simple human." she started. "No crazy powers, no wings, no tail, now horns, just me and my smart brain."
"That could be a power! Oww!"
"Idiot power and natural talents are different." Sasuke responded to Naruto as he whacked him at his head. "Humans can have talents but we demons have powers."
"What a pain." Shikamaru whine as he suddenly started to sink in his own shadow while the shadow decided to lean on a bench.
Sakura stared at the sight as she witnessed her new friends' odd antics. She sighed to herself.
"What did I get myself into?!"
So what you think? Oh by the way sorry for any grammar errors and any words looked out of place or missing, I wasn't in English Honors for that reason, plus I had crappy handwriting. I felt proud on finishing this chapter and all. But anyways I bet the pairing are dead obvious if you entered this story for that reason, plus I bet this will be fun to type. So yeah Sakura in a school meant for supernatural beings and such, how bad or whack is this going to be?! Mmmm I don't know I have a story kinda planned out but I don't know how I'll order it like you know...a gym scene, bully scene, new transfer student scene, well you get the case.
Comment away anything and I'll suck it up. Criticism, adoring, loathing of my story give it to me. I need inspiration people!
