((Hi all, this is Sky starting her first long term story that isn't sasuhina! Yay!! So this is also my first light and fluffy story and I'm used to writing dark suspenseful stuff. So… this might not be the best chapter in the world but I'm trying so Please review and tell me what I could do better and what you liked. (Lately I've been getting like 700 hits for a new chapter but no reviews! (It makes me feel so in the dark…)

so yeah. I'll stop rambling now.

Sky))

Sweet Nothings are a Sin

A Narusaku fic

It was dark, with spots of careless city lights flickering like fire, and she was running,down the darker side of town, as fast as her feet would carry her, her breath bursting out of her lungs with every step, her dirty knees buckling under her own weight.

"COME BACK MY YOUTHFUL LOVE!!"

He was fast, too fast. She stopped suddenly, spinning into the nearest alleyway and out of sight of her pursuer.

"Please leave me alone!" She cried

He stopped in the dim street by the alleyway's entrance, the light flickering around his outline making him look like a shadow.

"I thought you loved it when I professed my love for you." He said. Even now she could see that stupid grin on his face, even in the dark it was plastered in her mind.

"Not like this!" She said. "This is CREEPY! I made you my boyfriend because I liked you the way you were! You would keep the rest of them away from me, and you said you would -"

"Protect you with my life!" He said triumphantly

"Not like this!" she was genuinely terrified.

"I don't love you Lee, this is creepy, even for what normally happens to me!"

She bolted away into the darkness.

"My love, wait! The light from the street lamp turned on and showed some strange painted emotion on his face that was inhuman, and overshadowed by gigantic bushy eyebrows. Then, as the light flickered out, he collapsed on the ground, shaking his head. "What did I just do?"

"Heh heh, Sucker!"

Lee got up, and slowly walked home, his head fuzzy. Sakura breathed out a sigh of relief, and tucked some loose strands of hair back behind her ears. "He's gone."

"Shows what you get for going out with MY Sakura!" The boy shouted to a world that couldn't hear, spinning and laughing in the air above the rooftops, arrows in hand.

"Let's see…" Ino spread her hand out, her french manicure glinting for all to see.

"One… two… three…" She bent each finger slowly and accordingly, and Sakura let out a sigh of exasperation.

"That's six stalkers Sakura-"

"Five-"

"Lee counts for two." Ino shook her head. "Maybe you have some sort of curse."

Sakura shook her head "Yeah right." Turning her gaze out the window, she let her mind slip into the comfort of a daydream

She was far away from school, with someone new, someone strong who made her head spin and heart race. Someone like Sasuke only friendlier or-

Her fantasy was interrupted by a cry from Ino

"Look there he goes!" everything stopped. Spoons clattered, heads turned as Sasuke Uchiha entered the cafeteria. He was smooth, stoic, cool and his piercing eyes compared to none. He was the center of anything he entered, he was... perfect.

Suddenly he spun to the right, as if avoiding something and the crowd gasped as if he were an Olympic gymnast.

He immediately turned his piercing gaze straight to Sakura in one giant scary glare

"I'm telling you, it's a curse…." Said Ino, fingering her newest pagan pendant as if it held an answer. She was going through this weird mystic phase where she thought she could see into peoples minds. It was getting kind of annoying, but Ino was was Ino and as the bell rang, Sakura found herself dragging her feet through the hallways, led forward like a mule by Ino.

As she neared the classroom she tried to forget the weird rumors going around about her and the five faces that kept following her everywhere-

"Six." Ino said with a grin.

"What?"

"Lee counts for two."

Well… maybe she could read minds.

"And that was how the log achieved its high rank in ninja culture." Kakashi would not shut up, his history lessons were record breaking boredom, and half the class was asleep. Most students expected he droned on purpose to annoy them. It was fairly likely considering as soon as the bell rang he would be the first one out the door.

Sakura's mind drifted, out the window, past the storybook suburbs and their sort of fake identicalness, past the city and all its flickering lights, past everything to a wonderful world where-

Smack

A note hit her in the back of the head, and as she quickly unfolded it under her desk, she suddenly felt the strange feeling of being watched.

Sakura,

Now that you dumped that green beast, wanna try something new?

Meet me after school by your locker after school,

Kankuro

Wow…how redundant

Kankuro was a year older than her, held back in this class a year because he slept through every test. He was one of those smart people who after lack of trying slowly decayed into nothingness

What a miss match, since she was future Valedictorian.

"Still… it might work, maybe he's mature enough to not go psycho on me." she whispered

"No talking Sakura, you should know better…" Kakashi drawled his voice in an overly exaggerated way that made her almost positive he was boring them on purpose.

"Now… the Rise of the of the Funk coffin was a period in the mid 1700's which…"

The bell rang and in an instant Kakashi was gone, and the students were a busy mess of stuffing papers into backpacks and rushing out the door.

"Hey." He said.

She barley even knew this guy. It was spring and 68 degrees but he was wearing a black winter sweat suit. What a weird jock.

"Hey." She responded, stepping up to her locker. Was that face paint? Well, she'd seen weirder.

"You wanted to speak to me?" She played dumb as always.

"Look, I know you don't know me, but I know you want better terms with Sasuke, and me and him are buds so…"

"So…" She repeated, eyes bright.

"And….You and Tenten are friends too… so…" Ah. So that's what this was about, a deal to get closer to Sasuke. It'd get rid of her stalkers and she had wanted a chance to hang out with the Uchiha, but Kankuro was defiantly not Tenten's type. She usually went for the elitist guy with straight A's and piano skills.

"We wouldn't really do anything. Just pretend to be dati-" He stopped in mid sentence and stumbled a little, as if he was struck. Suddenly he had a strange light in his eyes and an emotion painted on his face. It grew more and more intense until she backed away from his alien stare, knocking into her locker.

Suddenly in one bulky swipe, he had her against the lockers completely, kissing her furiously like a rabid animal.

Eyes wide with shock, it took her about 5 seconds to realize what was going on.

Three minutes and one very hard bitchslap later, Sakura was running again, through the same alleyway as before,

What was going on with her? Kankuro didn't even like her and next thing she knew he had…

Stopping in the spot where she had lost Lee, she looked up and around, and then spinning back so she was facing the alley she cried.

"I KNOW YOU'RE THERE!"

"Oh crap…Can she really see me?" The boy fluttered backwards, ready to bolt.

"Just….STOP MESSING WITH ME ALRIGHT!? IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!!" She turned angrily and walked off muttering "Stupid love curse…"

"Thank god Dattebayo… Sakura'd be really angry if she knew it was me…" the boy sighed, brushing the hair out of his god blessed blue eyes.

"I wish she knew me… but 'she's a human and as a mere mortal she is not allowed to love a god.' Stupid Hokage always bellowing orders… Nothing says I can't fall in love with her though! Plus" he grinned "Rules are made for bending dattebayo!"
