Her

Chapter One

By JadenXJesse lover

A/N In this story no one is a ninja and the story is primarily set in the modern day Canada. By the way the school is called the School Hidden Under The Snow.

Night had come. Snow was falling. The cold, thick air greeted Sasuke with a sharp bite. His school finished like any other. Except on that day. On that day, an ambulance was speeding into the school courtyard, somehow dodging the many children walking home, either alone or with their guardians.

Being the inquisitive type, he waited to see who the injured child was. The paramedics came out with a body lying still and almost lifeless. He didn't recognise the body, though overheard Mr. Kakashi mentioning a Choji Akimichi. Through the vast crowd surrounding the boy, he swore to himself he could see an average, well in Choji's case slightly overweight, body, pale white skin, even compared to Sasuke, complete except one crucial piece... His head...

Logic told him that, quite simply, someone was standing in front of Choji's head, blocking the view from his angle. But no. The body stopped at the neck, topped with a clean red scar. The head was cut cleanly off the fat neck.

Sasuke stood in shock and horror, trying to understand the gruesome reality. Though he soon shrugged it off, running home with his logic winning back his mind, his black eyes were as wide as Choji and his nimble hands were quivering.

Fortunate he did not stay, as when the dead body reached the ambulance, a policeman concluded "Time of death: roughly 4:30p.m. Diagnosis: clean decapitation."

...

Sasuke ran to his flat as darkness had fallen. There was a coke and a sandwich, which his mum had left him in the fridge, and so he sat in the kitchen/main room, eating his dinner. His mum was never around when he's home. She works at a night club, on minimal wages, just to give both of them food and a home.

The flat was dank and dull. As one enters, one would immediately be in an empty corridor, the only 'decorations' were the pairs of shoes and boots lying on the floor. The first two doors lead to two tiny bedrooms, with enough space for a single bed, a cupboard and a desk. The room on the left hand side of the corridor belonged to Sasuke and was his sanctuary from the stress of school and people bullying him every single day and making his life a misery. Every night he would just lay on his bed, depressed and morbid, contemplating his very existence while carelessly eavesdropping on the neighbouring flat through his wall. Always half-expecting something, even though he fully knew that flat was empty, and has been, for many years.

Tonight, however, the raven haired boy of 13 was looking out of his window. He could see the leafless trees, covered in snow, outlining the main road. There was a tunnel from the nearest subway station which was pitch black and kept going for what seemed to be miles. Sirens from the ambulance at the school could be heard from even Sasuke's closed window. Pictures of the deceased student came rushing back into his mind. The images of the headless neck shook him to the bones and sent a chill up and down his spine and made the hairs on his neck stand on end. Apart from the ambulance, the scenery out of his window, as always, was empty and bare.

But then his onyx eyes caught a glimpse of two strangers; one was a slick, thin man, around his 20s-30s, and the other was a girl, also 13, with bright pink, straight hair, sweet eyes and what seemed to be a bubbly personality. But to Sasuke, she was more than another girl walking by the streets; she was beautiful, elegant and extremely cute. Her eyes were pink like her hair and she wore a black hoodie and navy blue trousers. She had soft, white skin and a fragile, tender body. He could not understand how a girl as beautiful as her could seem so lonely and sad. Her feet were covered in red and were exposed to the cold of the snow yet she showed no feelings of coldness and even though she had a pair of sandals in her hand she still went bare foot! Her most noticeable feature was her large forehead which Sasuke could not help but snicker at.

The man led the girl towards the block of flats with a bunch of suitcases. There was something... odd about the girl's guardian, something luring and yet screamed out danger. Perhaps it was his tight, skinny jeans and tight black shirt or perhaps it was his snake-like looks, luring prey in with his deep, hypnotic gaze. His complexion was similar to that of Sasuke's; pale, snowy skin, charming, appetizing looks and a full pouting lip.

As the two strangers walked in through the apartment doors, the girl looked up and saw Sasuke's intent stare, giggling under her breath how hot he looked, and quickly looked away in shyness. He soon became anxious and so he ran towards the door to try and find that angelic beauty.

He ran so quickly out of the door that he nearly crashed into them.

"O-oh! S-sorry!" the girl muttered shyly

"No, no, it's my fault!" Sasuke was taken aback by the heavenly voice that greeted him

"H-hi! I'm Sakura, I'm a... kinda new here... w-what's y-your name?"

"Sasuke, Sasuke Uchiha. Say, aren't your feet cold?" he pointed at her nimble feet but saw that the red had gone and was replaced by the sandals. "Oh, never mind..."

Sakura looked worriedly at Sasuke, as if he stumbled across something he needn't know. However, she was a skilled actress and easily covered it with a warm smile. "Hi, Sasuke! You wouldn't happen to go to the School Hidden Under The Snow are you?" she asked confidently

"OH MY GOD!" he exclaimed, "How'd you guess?"

"Because me and Orochimaru were there an hour ago and saw you running home..." she softly replied, as she gently stroked his cheeks and another hand 'accidentally' held his.

They both jumped as she did this, awkwardly smiling at each other, trying not to reveal how much they both liked it.

"Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow."

They waved to each other and entered their separate flats, unaware of each other's feelings.

...

A/N So yeah, that was just a quick little intro, don't worry I'm sure the next chapters will have better interchanges and more to my normal level of awesomeness. Sorry if this chapter isn't as great as my other stories; I wrote this at 10 o'clock at night and had many interruptions so my writer's flow was off.

Please Review!
