Where everyone you know, never leaves too soon(Angels on The Moon: Thriving Ivory)

Prologue: What are you looking for?

Naruto walked down the streets with his hood up. It's funny how quiet everything is at night...rather than busy during the day. Before, Naruto couldn't stand the quiet, he would have done everything he could to stay away from it. It seems, though, in time he began to understand it.

He could think when it was quiet. It helped an awful lot for him, too. With practice, it was simple to read people. Their faces, their voices. Naruto understood now why Sasuke had always been so quiet around everyone... you can read right past their facades.

Naruto saw all the faces, the runaway faces on every wall. Every section of the street. Of course, his face was included. He wasn't sure why they hadn't given up yet. Even if they saw him right now, staring at the picture of his own face. They wouldn't see a resemblence. It had already been three years, and Naruto's looks had changed drastically.

He was way taller than the height on the information sheet, and his hair was grown out. He ended up changing his blue eyes with green contacts, and his bruises from the school picture they show have faded. No one would recognize him. There was no way.

Naruto looked at the other pictures. There were tons, new and old. "...All of these people?" He questioned to himself outloud. Naruto studied all the faces. Registering all of them into his head. The're was another blonde haired one. One with brown hair. Black hair, green eyes. Pink hair..green eyes...he looked at that one closer..."Sakura Haruno.." He read. "Missing since April 2, 2005. If you have seen this person call: 1(242)-555-4583." He skipped the information part. It wasn't important three years later. Naruto would know.

The next one he noticed was a girl with short blue hair. She had also runaway around the same time the Sakura girl had. Which was close to when Naruto had. When he read the sheet he figured out her name was Hinata Hyuuga. She was very thin, and had wierd foggy gray eyes. Naruto took the runaway sheets down, and stuffed them into his backpack. He wasn't sure why he always got curious when walking by these types of things. Maybe, because he knew there was someone else out there. Someone like me... He thought.

He gave out a heavy sigh as he continued down the dark street. Things haven't gotten that much better in the three years, but they were well enough for Naruto to survive. He just wanted to do something, to make him important. Worth something. To live up to what Sasuke died for him for. Life. A big price to pay for someone you care for. A big price to pay for anyone.

Naruto was determined, that's what kept him alive this far. He was determined not to fail.

Suddenly Naruto felt a light sprinkle of water come down on his hands, then the heavy rain came pouring down. He ran down the street as he felt the cold water soak through his clothes. He kept on looking around, frantically trying to find a dry area, no way did he want to be sick.

When he found a small abandoned shed towards the end of town, he smiled. Not even one of those fake smiles he was taken to lately, eithier. He just wanted shelter.

It wasn't that hard to open the wooden door, which made the night better. Once inside, he quickly shut the door and put a bunch of random things he found in front of it to keep the wind from blowing it open. He looked around and he saw it was actually quite big. The floor was dirt, which would actually explain the dirt smell. He tossed the backpack he carried everywhere on the floor and took off his hoodie. Then, he heard heavy breathing.

This wasn't a creepy heavy breathing, it was more of a panicked breathing. He took out his flashlight from his backpack and pointed it around cautiously. "Anyone there?" He questioned. Feeling a bit stupid. He was about to ignore the noise, thinking it was his imagination...until he saw someone come out from behind some big metal thing which was hard to describe since he wasn't sure what it was.

Her hair was long and was a dark black. But the thing that stuck out most, was the girls deep green eyes. Which, at the moment, were wide with shock. "I'm so sorry!" She said with a worried tone. "It's just...It was raining! and I saw it and thought nobody owned it! And-"

"This isn't mine." Naruto said, interupting the girls babbling. Looking at her pale skin. "Oh," She replied shyly, turning her head away with a blush. "So why are you here?" She questioned quietly.

Naruto grinned widely. "Same reason as you.." He said simply as he pointed his flashlight around. Finding a folded table, and a small stack of folded chairs. They were extremely dirty, but they would do. He pointed the flashlight into his oversized backpack and took out a small orange candle with a matching lighter. When the candle was lit the whole shed brightened. The other girl walked up to him carefully. Ready to pull back at any instant.

"Sit." Naruto ordered. The girl did so, still looking at him skeptically.

He looked at her closely, squinting his eyes in the faint light. Then he pulled yet another thing out of one of his zippers on his bag. It seemed to be the paper he had stuffed in it before he came.

Naruto looked back and forth between the two for awhile. "Sakura Haruno.." he said quietly and the girls eyes went wide again.

"How, did you-" She started but was stopped when he pointed his finger at her.

"Your eyes," He said grinning. She turned her head away.

"Who are you?" She asked when she turned her head back to him. He was silent at first and then pulled out his own sheet and handed it to her. Sakura looked it over and then looked at him.

"This looks nothing like you!" She said agrivated. Naruto smiled. "Exactly."

"Then how do I know if this is really you?" Naruto quietly took out his contacts and placed them in a small case. "You see now?" He asked. Sakura looked at the picture again, then at him, and smiled sweetly. "Yes," She began. "I've never seen eyes that blue before. The're unique." She giggled.

There was a moment of silence before anyone spoke again.

"How old are you?" Sakura asked pulling her hair into a ponytail. She was just as curious about Naruto as he was of her. He liked that.

"Thirteen...you?" She told him she was twelve, as she handed the paper back to him.

"Almost thirteen!" She exclaimed. "My birthdays coming soon!" She seemed excited to be around the same age as the other.

Naruto smiled again. He loved the girl's enthusiasm. It reminded him of himself. "So you died your hair?" Naruto said, the first question that popped into his head. It was obvious but he wanted to keep the conversation going. He liked talking to her.

Sakura giggled again. "Yeah...pink was a little obvious." He thought of her answer then another question came into his head. "Why was it pink?" He asked. She shrugged, "I was born with pink hair.."

So the whole night Naruto and Sakura talked about almost everything. They both knew not to bring up the fact to why they had decided to run away. Naruto had many guesses as to why but he wouldn't dare ask. Mostly because, if someone asked him- it would just be a mood killer.Naruto pulled out a small bag of chips and they shared them as they continued talking.

"So where'd you get all this stuff?" Sakura asked pointing to the candle and the chips then to his bag. "You couldn't have taken all this stuff from your house right?" He looked at her, and then at the stuff.

"I met a guy, around my first year as a runaway...my hair was shorter then, and I didn't have contacts. He noticed right away." He paused slightly, then continued. "Instead of calling the number on the sheet he brought me to his house. He said he knew what it was like. He offered me money. A lot, and even though he was rich..I refused. But he made me take it...and well-" he pointed at all the stuff around him.

"So, you're living off of the money he gave you still?" She asked, and Naruto nodded.

"Haven't you ever thought.." Sakura started, but then stopped.

"What?" The blonde said, curious now.

"Well, if it was a lot of money..." She looked at him seriously now. "Haven't you ever thought of getting out of here? Going away to a different country or something?" Naruto nodded, understanding her question fully.

"Of course, I was going to one day...the man said he could get me a passport, an ID. Heck, he wanted to escort me to the plane..." he mumbled the last sentence but it was easily heard.

"What stopped you?"

"I don't know..." Sakura tilted her head and squinted, trying to read the blonde.

"You are one wierd boy, Naruto Uzumaki..." She smiled and then giggled.

They were silent for the longest time, but it wasn't an awkward silence. It was quite calm.

"So, where are you heading?" Naruto ended up asking and almost couldn't hear her mumbled 'anywhere.' Naruto hadn't been this happy in a long time. That's what happens when your always alone. Friends always give you strength. Friends? Naruto felt that they were just that, they didn't know eachother before this night, but it already felt like forever.

"Me too..wanna go with?" She looked deep into his eyes as if he may possibly be lying and when she saw he wasn't a big grin appeared on her face. Her smile, was different. It was real. Sakura, in general-was real.

They slept on the ground. Naruto and Sakura both had the're own blankets with them, and they balled up clothes for pillows. When Naruto pulled out a little stuffed fox, Sakura looked at it for a second, but didn't comment, Naruto was shocked to see that she too, pulled out a stuffed animal...it being something along the lines of a snail.

Yeah, this was Sakura. She was real, and this was gonna be one heck of a friendship.

XX-END-XX

So what do you think? Seems short, but it's a prologue and i'm tired. It's a little different from what I usually write mainly because I usually don't use Sakura because of my dislike for her. But maybe there can be a good side? I don't know, what else do I do with a dead Sasuke?

I just wanted to do something different I guess. But, I'm actually pretty into this fic. So I think I'm gonna finish it whether anyone likes it or not, I already have an ending. (hehe..) But I'm not sure how long this whole thing is gonna be.
