Edit (1/22/2014): Alright, this story will have a lot of editing and things re-done, I'm sorry if you read this and a lot of this doesn't make sense, I'm trying my best! Also this story is more on the AU side than real naruto story. Ah I hope this goes well...
He had just killed Orochimaru, and was now on his way to find who were to become his new team. He walked down a corridor of stone in Orochimaru's lair filled with huge crystal cells at both sides. They were filled with different beings.
'Orochimaru's experiments.'
He was looking around for one of his soon-to-be teammates when he saw her. She was in one of the cells filled with crystaline blue liquid floating as if on air, her long pink hair all around her and covering her being, not letting him see her bare body.
She was unconscious, not knowing what was going on around her. He examined her for some time, as if hypnotized. Suddenly, he took out his gun and shot her cell without harming her. She came crashing down to the floor, pieces of broken glass falling along the liquid that was inside with her, but before she could touch the ground he caught her. He quickly took his cloak off and put it on her covering her being. Once his cloak was securely wrapped around her, he picked her up and continued to walk down the corridor.
He didn't know what made him do it, but for some reason his instinct acted before he could stop himself.
After some time, he came upon the cell of one other person, this one being the one that he was looking for. He too was on a cell, this one filled with water, but was quite awake.
"Why, look who we have here. If it isn't Uchiha Sasuke!" The sound was somewhat muffled from the water around him.
Sasuke said nothing, he simply took out his gun for a second time and shot the cell the person was in. Sugietsu came crashing down on the floor, but didn't catch himself in time from the surprise of the sudden action.
"Sugietsu, get ready we're going to the southern lair, from there we will take two more people."
"As you say captain!" He said, "But I have some questions...first, what happened to Orochimaru?"
Sasuke looked at him emotionlessly. " Dead."
"Whoa, that's something, the all mighty Orochimaru killed by you?"
"Hn."
"Okay, second question, who is that?" He asked, pointing at the still unconscious and just now noticed by him girl in the young Uchiha's arms.
"Don't ask and get moving."
"Okay okay jeez, but I need clothes."
"Then get some."
Sugietsu quickly went to the nearest room and got some clothes on.
"And now what?"
Sasuke just turned around and started walking. Sugietsu, taking it as a signal to follow, rolled his eyes and followed thinking 'Arrogant much eh?' and went after him.
After some time of walking endlessly through a labyrinth of corridors they got out of the lair . The wind blew by them slightly, making Sasuke's hair flow in the wind, as did the girls.
He looked around, analyzing the time, weather, and location they were in. He crouched slightly to get some impulse, and jumped into the trees to the next direction, with Sugietsu quickly following.
After hours of jumping from tree to tree they came up to the southern lair, encountering Karin after entering. Karin didn't take long to get on the team and next they went for Juugo. They let Karin lead the way, since she knew the place better. Stopping at a door, Karin explained Juugo was in, and Sasuke wasted no time in entering. Just as he opened the door they got greeted by a crazed Juugo sitting in the far corner on the back of the room.
Juugo looked up at the sound of the door opening with wide crazed eyes."Kill, I need to kill...the girl- no! The boy- no! Both!" He whispered.
"Juugo, we're here to take you out." Said Karin. Juugo had sobered some by now, and his eyes widened at the sight of the door opened. "Close the door! Close it! Please! I don't want to! I don't want to hurt more people! Please! Just leave me in here!"
"Juugo, my name is Uchiha Sasuke, and we're here to take you out of here." Juugo looked at him. "You...you are the one Kimimaro sacrificed his life for! He..he was the only one that could calm me down...I'll come with you, I believe you can control me, like Kimimaro did."
Sasuke nodded" Let's get going." After that, they left the lair to a long journey to the nearest village.
"Hey Sasuke, who is that girl?" Asked Karin, pointing at the girl in the Uchiha's arms while inwardly sneering at the girl.
Sasuke ignored her and Karin knew better than to push him, so she dropped it for now. She was determined to know why he wanted that girl in their team, even more when she thought the girl was a rival for Sasuke's attention.
After a few hours of pure silence, they came upon a clearing where not far away there was a hut. They got inside after Sasuke said they were taking a break there and the girl in his arms started stirring. He quickly went to one of the rooms that were near and laid her down on the bed somewhat gently.
A few seconds after he put her down, her eyes shot open suddenly with a gasp, and she quickly sat up. When she calmed down, she looked at him with big emerald eyes that showed fright.
"Where am I?, Who are you?" She asked, in a hoarse voice. As if she hadn't used her voice for a very long time.
He took one chair that was near by and placed it near the bed, took a glass of water and handed it to her, with her taking it gently away from his hands, she took a zip of water and seemed to be better. After that he sat down.
"I'm Uchiha Sasuke, and we are in a small hut about a hundred miles away from Orochimaru's lair."
Her eyes widened at the name and she started inching away from him, afraid.
"I won't harm you."
She nodded briskly but kept some space, her body still stiff as if waiting for something to happen, but a bit relaxed at his words.
"What is your name?" He asked after some moments of silence, neither moving or making a sound.
"My...name?...I-I can't remember..."
"Do you remember anything from yourself or your past?"
She was silent, and he knew she was thinking. Flashes started going in her head, she saw people, but not remembering any.
"Sakura." She suddenly said. He looked at her, eyebrow raised.
"My name is Sakura."
'Sakura..'
'Sasuke-kun!'
'Sasuke-kun! Look!'
'Sasuke-kun?'
'Sasuke-kun! Are you okay?!'
'Sasuke-kun!'
'Sasuke kun! Don't worry, I'm here! I'm with you."
'Sasuke-kun'
'Please! Don't leave me!'
'Sasuke...-kun...'
'I-! I love you with all my heart!'
'Sasuke..'
He looked away, closing his eyes tightly. 'She looks so much like her. Why now? Why did these feelings have to come back after so long?' His heart ached at the memories. "Anything else?" He choked out, but tried to maintain his usual emotionless mask.
"No."
He nodded. "Follow me."
He got up and started opening the door, all the while trying to get her out of his mind. Sakura followed after him, taking careful steps.
He entered another room, rummaged around for some time and then handed her some clothes.
"It's all I could find for now, you'll have to wait until we get to another village and we can buy you some more suitable clothes and supplies for you. There's a bathroom there," he pointed to a door "where you can change. After that I'll take you to meet the others."
She nodded and went to the bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror, and then looked at the clothes she was given. They consisted of a white long sleeved shirt with a very wide neck, and some black loose pants. 'They're too big for me, but I'll guess they'll have to do for now'.
When she came out he saw things he hadn't noticed before. She was slender and pale, had curves in the right places, and her body was well built. He also noted how his pants were too big for her, and went off a little to her right hip, showing a bit of skin. The shirt was similar, going to her left shoulder, leaving her shoulder completely bare.
A light blush came to both their faces, Sasuke's being almost unnoticeable.
She started feeling uncomfortable when she noticed his eyes examining her body, fidgeting slightly with the hem of the shirt and then broke the silence.
"Do you have a b-belt? The pants are kinda big." She stuttered a bit, but on her current situation dismissed it.
He snapped out of his thoughts when he heard her voice. He nodded, rummaged some more and gave her some cloth strips, shrugging in a silent 'All I could find.'
She nodded and took it from him, quickly putting it on.
"Thanks."
With a nod he walked out the door again and she followed silently.
They entered the tiny kitchen, where Juugo, Karin, and Sugietsu were all sitting on a small table in the middle of the room.
"So, sleeping beauty finally woke up?" Said Sugietsu, walking up to the girl. She started taking small steps backwards and a little to the side, inching more towards Sasuke, as he was the only person in the place she knew, even if by a little, but she couldn't take risks.
"Sugietsu, leaver her alone."
Sugiestu raised an eyebrow, but said nothing and started going back to where he was previously. Knowing that Sasuke was an ice cube, the thought of Sasuke protecting a girl stunned him.
"Sakura, this is Juugo, Karin, and Sugietsu." He said, signaling to each one of them as he said their name.
"Hello, nice meeting you." Said Juugo, coming a little close to her, but not so close as to scare her.
Karin 'hmphed' and looked the other way.
"That was Karin for you, and I'm Sugietsu." He said, pointing at himself with his thumb and nodded. Sakura's stomach started growling, and she blushed furiously and Sugietsu started laughing.
"So you're hungry eh? Suit yourself, there's some food on the cabinets."
Sakura nodded slightly, and walked slowly towards the cabinets. She found a bowl full of little white grains and she took them out.
She looked around nervously and said "Uhhm, what is this?"
Everyone looked at her like she was crazy, except Sasuke who merely raised an eyebrow.
Sugietsu laughed again and asked "Are you serious?" She nodded slightly.
"That's rice!" He exclaimed, once more laughing.
"Um, what is rice?" The laughter stopped and once again the stares started.
She heard a low chuckle and looked over at Sasuke to see him smirking, shaking his head and walking towards her. She looked at him with curious eyes, wondering what he was chuckling about. He reached her, took the bowl out of her hands and put it back on the cabinets. He reached up and took a plate, walked over to another cabinet, took some bread out, and made a sandwich. He went back over to Sakura with the plate and in hand and handed it to her.
"Here."
"Thanks...Sasuke." She smiled thankfully at him. He nodded and went back to his room.
Sakura sat down, joining Sugietsu and Juugo at the table while Karin laid back on a wall. She ate her sandwich silently, feeling the eyes of everyone on her on her.
"Um, why are you looking at me?" She asked, tired of the look they were giving her and Karin's glares.
"Sorry Saks, but...we've never seen Sasuke do something like that! Ever!"
"Oh, is that bad?" She asked, a flash of worry going through her eyes.
Sugietsu laughed "No! Of course not, it's just..shocking I guess." He grinned.
"Mmm, okay." She said and kept eating her food.
Karin wasn't mad, she was furious. 'How could this girl make Sasuke do something she herself couldn't?! She's so weak compared to me! I knew him before her! So how?! How did she do it? What did she do to make Sasuke be softer towards her?'
"Chill, he's not yours is he?" Sugietsu whispered to her, smirking.
"Shut up!" She hissed, getting up and storming outside, but no one noticed her aside from Sugietsu and he followed her out.
She stopped for a while, pacing and muttering very colorful words under her breath, and after some minutes went off into the forest with him once again following.
'She's so cute when she's mad!' He thought, snickering.
'What does he know?! Nothing that's what! Sasuke's mine! And that little, weak, incompetent girl won't steal him from me!' She thought fuming.
Sasuke sat on his bed, rubbing his temples. 'What the hell did I do back there? Why on Earth was I so...nice...to her?' He didn't understand how it happened, his body moved before he could stop it. 'Her smile...it's so...familiar...And her eyes...and her hair...pink? No, it couldn't be her...it can't be..'
"She better not be." He muttered, laying on his bed looking at the ceiling.
Okay, I hope you liked the first chapter of Coincidences Don't Exist! Please review so I know what you guys think of it! Also to know if it's good enough to continue it or not.
If I decide to continue it, I'll try to update as soon as possible, but sometimes I'll take a bit of time because my ideas or inspiration tend to go for a while and come back when it likes (wich I hate because I can't write, and that means I can't update!). But I'll really try! So review! It makes me happy and motivates me onto writing, and that means updates! Tell me what you think!
Edit (1/22/2014): Well, it's looking nicer. Hopefully I can get my inspiration back on this! I'm not done though, but I want to give a huge THANK YOU to CherryBlossom7w7! If she hadn't messaged me a few days ago, I would have never thought of coming back!
