A/N: yo, haha. Well, this is a new story. So uhm, for my other story, "What Change Can Do To You", im not discontinuing it. i just wanted to start a new story, that is all.
This story, of course, is dedicated to my friend, Karen! Hhaa yep, she just wanted me to tell her a story, and it sorta ended it like this. It isn't like the same one because I had to convert it into Naruto situations.
Well, enough of my bickering. Lets move on the story !! this is an ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE ! events wont be as close as the anime or manga. You have been warned.
A promise…
There was a boy, just a little boy, roughly about 6 years old. Blood splattered all over him. He struggled along the streets, as he small legs were tired. He tried his hardest to ignore heated glares directed at him. His sun-kissed hair settled on his face, as the blood slowly drips down. His breathing became normal, as he leaned on the tree.
'Why does this happen every time ...,' he thought, 'why am I…always alone…through all this?'
His innocent blue eyes scanned the area, he was alone. A part of him told himself he should be happy he was alone. No one was there to beat him. Nevertheless, another part of him ached for company. He sighed.
'I should be used to this…god, what the hell did I do to dese-'
He stopped his thoughts. He heard something, or maybe, someone. He instinctively stiffened, he was afraid. Afraid that they followed him, wanting … no... needing to beat the boy. He cautiously turned around to face his doom, but was surprised at what he saw.
A girl, around his age, was curled on a tree. Her body trembles as the boy can hear her quiet sobs. The girl, who had an oddly pink colored hair, didn't look half bad. Well that is, if you compare her to the boy.
"Hey, you, whatcha doing?" the boy shyly asked.
The girl gasped in surprise. Her eyes was covered through her pink hair, and half of her face left hidden behind her legs. The little girl cautiously eyed the blonde boy, eyes searching for any threat. The bloodied boy kneeled down in front of the sobbing girl, staring curiously at her.
"Hey, you okay? You look sad," the boy stated. He scooted closer to her, and noticed she flinched a bit. He took a seat next to the pink haired girl, and leaned on the tree. The blonde could tell the girl didn't feel comfortable, as she moved to make space between them.
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto. What's your name?" he kneeled down in front of her again, "you don't have to be afraid. I promise I won't hurt you."
The little girl looked up at Naruto. She was hesitated at first before whispering softly, "Haruno Sakura..."
"Sakura... hmm... you have a pretty name. I like it," Naruto grinned as Sakura blushed, "So whatcha doing hear all alone?" Sakura sniffled a bit, then stared at Naruto. She gasped when she saw how injured he looked. Naruto gave her a questionable look.
"N..Na...Naruto...you're hurt. You should go the the hospital," she hugged her knees closer to her chest. Naruto pointed has he's injuries, "Oh these? Nah, I've gotten worse." Sakura's eyes widened. "...worse?..." Naruto frowned again.
"Hey Sakura, wanna go by the lake and play?" The girl nodded, and gasped as Naruto grabbed her hand, and gently pulled her up. The two ran together hand in hand to the lake. They both laughed as they almost ran into things on the way, making Sakura not notice the glares both of them were getting. Naruto and Sakura gasp for air, hands on their knees. Naruto grinned, recovering before the girl, then started to run off the pier. The blonde took a big leap and splashed into the water. Sakura just sat down at the edge of the dock, waiting for her blonde comapanion to resurface. She started to get worried when he had not come back up. Sakura screamed in surprise as a pair of arms brought her down to the water. The girl went up breathing heavenly, and frowned when she saw Naruto laughing. The blonde noticed this, so he swam to her and hugged her. She blushed a deep shade of red. When Naruto moved back just a little bit, enough to see her face, he smiled again.
"Friends forever?" Sakura smilled and nodded energetically. She was about to wrap her arms around him as well, but something pulled her out of his grip. Sakura turned and saw her mother in rage.
"Sakura, I am VERY disappointed in you! I thought I taught you well enough not to play around with this.. THIS MONSTER!" Her mother was moving Sakura far away from the blonde.
"But Ms. Haruno, I was only-"
SMACK!
Sakura's eyes widened. Naruto's head was tilted to the side with a red mark burning on his cheek. Her mother...just slapped him.
"Don't you dare 'Ms. Haruno' me, demon! Now leave before I call one of the shinobis!" Naruto quietly muttered 'yes ma'am' before turning to leave. Before he started to walk away, he turned his attention to Sakura. She caught his gaze and heard him whisper softly to her.
"We'll meet each other soon. Promise." He then turned back again, then ran away. Sakura's mother roughly pulled onto her arm, pulling her back home. She tried desperately catching up to her mother. Before they left the lake, she took one last glance behind her, whispering softly.
"Promise..."
Little did they both know, they would meet each other sooner than they think. But the only problem is that, they will not notice each other for a very long time.
A/N: and that's the end of it. This is really just a test to see if this can go farther then just one chapter. tell me what you think. in the mean time, enjoy !
