Hello! This is my first Naruto fanfic so I hope you won't be too harsh. I don't even have a beta for this story O_O

Disclaimer: ...I wouldn't be doing all of this if I DID own Naruto people... TTATT

Welcome to the World of Fandom

Prologue:

School is...driving me insane.. No, scratch that, college life is downright psychotic! My schedule this semester is all messed up, not to mention that some of my professors have a few screws lose as well. Or at least, that's what they seem to me. And I haven't had any decent sleep since I don't know when and I can't even focus on my studies properly. Then again, the latter is probably mostly my fault since whenever I have work to do, my phone is glued to my hand as I read my daily dose of fanfictions. Believe me when I say that can't remain sane when I don't overdose in reading, thing end up bad. Really bad.

I used to be a caveman shipper of SasuSaku for the past few years that I've known Naruto (A/N: which sooner led me to discover Noctis x Lightning but that, my friends, is a story of another time) but now I have also become a strong wor-shipper ( I only worship God, and yes, there's a difference! Don't you dare say otherwise!) of AkaSaku and GaaSaku! My absolute favorite Akatsuki x Sakura pair is definitely Sasor x Sakura~! Funny thing is though, the very fist Naruto Shippuuden episode that I ever watched was the fight between these two! Now that is what I call destiny!

And believe it or not, I've read through all the list of Akatsuki x Sakura and Sasori x Sakura fanfics in English that there is in . Or at least, the ones that I happen to find interesting. I like what I see in the summary, I read it. I only stop by them again to see if there are any new good stories or if there are any updates for the unfinished ones that I happen to take a liking to.

As of now, I am scouring through M rated Gaara x Sakura fanfics out there in the list that I can actually understand. I'm planning on checking out all fanfics form page 1 all the way to the very end of the list, just like what I've done to the Sasori x Sakura and the Akatsuki x Sakura ones! I would have done the same for Sasuke x Sakura fanfics a long time ago but honestly, have you seen that list?! And that's not even a generalized rated list! It was just the M rated ones! I wouldn't be able to finish that list even if my life depended on it! Although the inner evilness that resides within my person demands that I only read the dark M rated ones out there but please keep that little info between us will you? People here at school don't really need to know about that now do they? My dark romance fetish shall forever remain between us, claro? That reminds me... I am so sorry for enjoying your pain Sakura! Please forgive me! I will always love you!

Ahem, anyways, here I am once again, reading one fanfic after the other like my life depended on it. Actually, it's my sanity that depends on it. Then again, every time something I like or hate happens in the story, I squeal like a school girl in love or have smoke practically coming out of my nostrils so I suppose I shouldn't worry too much about how some(most) people judge my sanity. I study Multimedia Arts and Sciences so I have come up with the perfect response when they ask me questions regarding my mental stability:

"All artists have quite a few screws lose and that is what makes our art beautiful and unique in many ways."

Clever, no? I'm so proud of myself for coming up with this reply—courtesy of Deidara and Sasori! They inspired my answer! Speaking of them, I'm sorry Deidara but I have to side with Sasori's principle regarding art! Art is eternal beauty! But you're still cute and when it comes to the battle of personality, you win hands down! In the many fanfics that I've read, it's always either Hidan or Deidara and more often that not,both, who are the comical relief of the story. It's always quite entertaining to see Deidara in his "Imma blow you up to the next dimension, un!" mode while Hidan does is "I'm gonna sacrifice your mother fucking ass to Jashin-sama, BITCH!" and all those other good stuff.

Oh man, the fanfics are really starting to get to me.

Now I'meven daydreaming where there was this sudden white light in the sky and all the Naruto casts fell on different directions and to my sheer happiness, the Akatsuki, Madara and Gaara (though my spirit came crashing down when I didn't see Sakura TTATT) fall on the school's grounds! And one of them even fell on top of me and I could have sworn he/she broke something there. When I was about to ask a friend for help, she was no where within sight range(TRAITOR!).

No surprises there actually. After all, the people who help you the moment you need the are called your friends; the people who laugh at you before—and more often than not, not at all—they even bother to help you are called your best friends.

Ahhh, it was such an awesome daydream. In fact, it all feels so real that I can actually feel the wight on my back and the hard cemented ground beneath me. I can even hear Hidan scream "WOOOHOOO! Bitch on bitch man!"

It all feels so real that when I took the hand that offered to help me up once the person on my back got off, the owner of said hand looked exactly like Konan.

"Hahahaha, oh man. I really need to stop daydreaming all the time. For a second there I actually thought you really were Konan of the Akatsuki!" I said sheepishly after I thanked her, I scratched the back of my neck thinking 'Okay, I usually come back to rash reality sooner than this so why am I still having the illusion of seeing these guys?'

The woman tilted her head ever so lightly, her eyes showing the tiniest hint of confusion, "I am Konan of the Akatsuki, you're not daydreaming right now. How do you even know my name, young lady?"

Well, that's a wrap for now! And worry not! Saku-chan will appear in the next chappie in the least expected place! Or maybe not...

Anyways, review please! I need some motivation! I wanna know if you liked it or not...
