My true Family blood by Sakura4life

Chapter 1: Presence

"Sakura, what's wrong?" A silver haired man asked a 15-year old pink haired girl who's 5 meters away from him.

The girl didn't reply.

She just kept staring at the empty dark alley beside her. She stared at it very intently. But at the same time very blankly.

She was silent.

"Sakura what are you doing?" A raven haired boy asks in a monotonous voice while looking back at the girl.

Still no reaction.

Ok, that was strange. Those words came from Sasuke and yet no reaction.

"Helloooo… Sakura-chan?" a blonde boy who's about 15 years old called out to the girl but still no reaction.

The blonde boy went near the pink haired girl.

"Sakura-chaaan… What's wrong?" He was now a few inches away from her but still no reaction.

The blonde boy was getting frustrated. He went nearer to her. She wasn't responding to his actions so he inched his face closer to hers.

"Umm… Naruto, I don't think that's such a good idea." The silver haired man said as he saw the blonde's actions.

The black haired boy merely raised an eyebrow.

But the blonde boy ignored his warning. And inch-by-inch his face went nearer to hers. Slow and slowly. Finally they were face to face with just a one inch distance from each other. But the girl didn't notice him even at that angle. She was staring pass through him. The blonde all confused by her friend's reaction or lack of reaction worried him. She should be beating him to the pulp by now for getting this close to her personal space. For the last time he called out her name –

"Ah… Sakura-chan?"

The said girl blinked. And blinked. And blinked.

And then-

"Naruto! YOU BAKA!" Naruto was sent flying into the air. Barely missing Kakashi by an inch but unfortunately had hit the wall ahead of him. Sakura's punch was well known for sending people 10 feet away from their original location.

The poor boy slowly slid down the ground after sticking on the wall for a few seconds. As for the poor wall, cobweb like cracks appeared from the strong impact.

"You pervert, what the hell do you think your doing! Do you wanna go to hell that badly!" Sakura pointed at the blonde boy on the ground accusingly. She was steaming and her beautiful sea foam green eyes turned white in anger.

Their sensei, who saw the whole scene, just sweat dropped. "Some things never change I guess." He shrugged before going near Naruto and checked to see if he was still alive.

"Serves you right, dobe." Sasuke muttered under his breath.

The blonde already stood up and was rubbing his cheeked, which was where Sakura had punched him painfully.

"Oww… Sakura-chan what was that for? I was just worried about you."

But knowing Sakura, she didn't listen to his reasons, and still pointed an accusing finger at him. "Baka! For all I know you were taking advantage of the situation!" Sakura was fuming mad, her ears were steaming. Which made Naruto backed up a bit not wanting to go through another 'SAKURA PUNCH'. He doesn't want to die yet; he still has his dreams after all.

"Sakura-chan, like I said I was just worried about you. When I called your name you didn't react. You just stared at that empty alley, what were you staring at anyway?"

"Huh?" Sakura's anger disappeared when Naruto ask the question. Her hands went to her side. "Huh… It was nothing… I just remembered something that's all." And forced a smile on her lips.

Naruto was in disbelief. "Huh? You remembered something from that alley? What would that be?" He couldn't imagine himself remembering anything from a dark empty alley. An empty alley sure wouldn't remind him of his ramen.

"It's none of your business!" She was angry again, so Naruto tried to rub off the topic.

"Ehehe… Ok Sakura-chan. I'm sure whatever it is, is something very important." Waving his hands in front of him trying to emphasize his point but in his head, 'Please don't let her kill me! I still need to be a Hokage first and they're still a lot of ramen that I haven't eaten yet!'

"Baka, it was nothing. So stop it already." This boy is really getting to her nerves. It was nothing. And if she said it was nothing, it was nothing! End of the issue.

"Ehem."

The two teens turned their heads to their silver haired sensei. They had completely forgotten his presence amidst their bickering just a while ago.

"I thought you guys said that you were hungry?" Kakashi was alongside Sasuke. The two men had their hands both in their pockets. Their sensei was looking lazy as usual with his eyes half open and half close, none to their surprise. Sasuke was looking impassive; he was staring at the two teens in front of him with his cold onyx eyes. You could see the boredom in those eyes. Kakashi was right, some things never do change.

"Ah… Gomen sensei. Lets go then." The pink haired konoichi scratch the back of her head before dashing off to their favorite ramen shop for lunch. The rest of her teammates just stared at her back. Ok, things are getting stranger and stranger by the minute. Why was Sakura acting like that?

It was like this-

They had just finished their usual morning training and Naruto had decided to eat lunch at Ichiraku, so what else is new? As they were heading to their destination Naruto was exclaiming on his usual things - on how powerful he is now; Sasuke was will never be able to beat him; he will be the next Hokage; he will be the most powerful shinobi in the whole world and one day he was going to marry his dear Sakura-chan and have lots of childre-

BAM! Sakura had hit him painfully on the head with her fist, yelling at him with her usual things – on how stupid Naruto is; that what he was saying will never happened; that he was a complete Baka etc, etc.

On Sasuke's side, the impassive boy just had an annoyed look in his face. Yep! Nothing much had change.

After the scenario, they had proceeded to their destination. Kakashi and Sasuke were in front while Naruto and Sakura at the back of the two. The walk at Ichiraku was accompanied by a few talks here and a few talks there. Nothing much was out of the ordinary; it was just a normal, average day for team 7. They were taking their usual route to the ramen shop; going through some of Konoha's old buildings. Passing some old stinky alleys along the way, none of it really getting any of their interest.

It was then that there was one alley that was left to pass that their pink haired teammate stopped in her tracks.

Not noticing her sudden halt, the three men had walked ahead of her. It was then that Kakashi didn't hear her footsteps on the ground that he turned around and found her staring at the alley adjacent to her. What on earth was she staring at? Whatever it was sure caught her attention well.

It was Sasuke who broke first out off the trance. He didn't care whatever was the thing that Sakura. Must have been a cat or a rat or something. He walked off to the ramen shop making the two other shinobies break out of their own trance as well and went on to the shop.

Kakashi was thinking quite seriously in his head. What was it that Sakura saw that made her have that look on her face? Kakashi new that 'look' all too well. It was the look that she would give off if there were a dangerous presence coming at them or somewhere near by. After years of being with his team he could easily read each one of their facial expressions, even Sasuke's facial expressions. And mind you, the boy barely has any to show.

Was there danger ahead? Did Sakura sense a dangerous presence around that she didn't just took it too seriously?

Couldn't be. If there was he would have been the first to have felt it. He was able to calm his thoughts and now it was time to calm his hungry stomach. The ramen shop was just ahead of them.

Amongst the dark shadows of the empty alley a figure with long black hair and porcelain skin stood. (No, it's not Itachi) A small sinister smile could be seen on his beautiful lips. So she had already sense his presence. Well then this will make things more interesting. As soon as the object of his sight had dashed off to wherever place she had went to. He had also had fled to report his findings.

'Finally I have found you my Kohana. We shall see each other again very soon… very soon indeed.' Another sinister smile was again on his lips, as he leapt from tree to tree not making a single noise while doing so. The figure had completely disappeared within the huge trees in the forest of Konoha.

A/N: well what ya think. The figure id NOT Itachi he wont be much of a character in this fic, though his name would appear here but that's just about it. Soweeeiii to disappoint you.
