~chapter 1~The sun flooded the dark room of the young teen, music began to play on the alarm clock the song was don't trust me - 3OH!3, the young girl sat up slowly and looked at her alarm clock with sleepy eyes as she began to yawn. The girls bubble gum pink hair stuck up in all directions displaying that the girl tossed and turned in her sleep! She slowly began to rub her green eyes that looked like they were pure emeralds sitting in the sockets. Sakura Haruno is her name, she is 16 and is a junior in high school!

She slowly slid of the bed and walked over to her bathroom to see what damage she had to fix this morning. Sakura looked in the mirror at herself and began to do the daily chores of getting herself ready for school! After about 30 minutes of Sakura in the bathroom she came out happy and refreshed! Sakura walked over to her closet and pulled out some baggy black street jeans (you know the ones at hottopic) that had random chains and zippers littered across them, then she got a black shirt that said 'go away' written on it in red letters, she pulled out her favorite red and black midtop vans.

Sakura walked over to her dresser and grabbed her spiked black bracelet with some random jelly bracelets."Sakura! you got five minutes till the bus here" Sakura's mother called "Ok mom" Sakura replied while she grabbed her backpack and slung it over her shoulder while jogging down the stairs and walked into the kitchen, she grabbed her fathers toast out of his hand while he just shook his head and grabbed another piece.

"Ok you be good at school!" her mother said while handing her some apple juice "Ok bye" Sakura replied while running out of the house to the awaiting bus, she climbed on and saw her old friend Ino sitting beside her elementary school crush Sasuke Uchiha!"Hey forehead!" Ino called out drawing attention to Sakura who just replied with a "hn" and kept walking toward the back of the bus, she saw Ino turn around and glare at her, this made Sakura smirk she flopped down in a empty seat behind two boys that were arguing about something...

"No art is not always 'everlasting'!" the blonde one said Sakura looked at him and giggled 'wow he looks just like a older male version of Ino!' Sakura said to herself the red head turned around and looked at Sakura "What are you laughing at?" he asked while looking dead into Sakura's eyes, Sakura looked at him and a light pink tint crossed her cheeks, "Nothing." she replied as she looked out the window, the blonde boy turned around "What's your name cutie?" he asked while smirking. "Do I know you?" she replied with a bored look on her face"Oh I'm sorry my name is Deidara Kimura and this is my friend Sasori Akasuna" Deidara pointed to the red head.

"Sakura Haruno" Sakura said while looking up to a loud silver haired boy get on the bus, he walked toward the back and spotted Sakura."Oi pink hair?" he said as he sat down beside her, she just looked out the window 'please don't ask me the question!' Sakura said to herself as she stared at a tree!"Is i-" Sakura cut him off, "yes it's natural." the boy cocked his head to the side and began to twirl his finger in her hair, Sakura turned her head to him and stared at the boy as if he just grew wings!

"Who are you?" she asked as she backed away from him"Well aren't we pissy, I'm Hidan Hayashi." he said as he smirked at the nervous pinkette"Oh I'm Sakura Haruno." she replied relaxing a little as he just nodded and faced forward 'ugh this is gonna be a long day!' Sakura thought as the bus began to speed through the traffic and kids began to shout and throw paper balls around! ' a veryyyyy lonngg dayyyy!!!' Sakura moaned as she dodged a speeding paper plane!

---[School time!]---

'Man,' she thought. 'I hadn't been here since I was in 8th grade.' Everything changed in this high school. The walls were painted a boring beige as the lockers were brown. Ever since her mom got hooked on alcohol, Sakura was sent to go to a whole other school. But after her recovery, Sakura can come back to her old school. But the big thing is, is that Sakura used to be all preppy and wear colorful stuff before she moved. She didn't want to be around Ino. Ino got her into a bunch of boy business that Sakura was not interested to get into.

Sakura walked out of the office, studying her schedule.

1 hour- Science-Orochimaru - Homeroom

2 hour- Math-Asuma

3 hour- Language Art-Kurenia

Lunch

4 hour- Social Studies-Kakashi

5 hour- Study Hall-Orochimaru

6 hour- Gym-Gai

With a sigh, Sakura roamed the halls till she found Orochimaru's room. After locating his room, and enter. All eyes were on her, as she walked reluctantly walked in front of the class. Orochimaru was writing on the chalk board, then taking a glance at her. "Oh, you must be Sakura Haruno?" His voice was creepy and cold.

With a nod Sakura spoke, " Uh, yeah."

He narrowed his eyes at her, as she carelessly glanced at the class. "Take a seat in front of Ino-san."

"WHAT!?" Sakura and Ino's mouth flew open.

He glared at the two, then began writing again. "Sakura, since its your first day would you like to go down to the principle's office."

She shook her head and took her seat in front of the dumb blonde, ignoring the angry steam that rose from her blonde strands.

As the pale teacher talked, Sakura took her time looking around, seeing how all her old class mates and friends had changed. She recognized Shikimaru, Tenten, and Neji. Those were the only friends she recognized.

That Deidara guy say beside her, with Sasuke's older brother in front of him, Itachi, and a guy with fiery orange hair with a bunch of facial piercing that smother his face.

"Take out your notebooks and write this down." Orochimaru instructed while his students obeyed.

Sakura took her black notebook out and flipped a page open. After writing three pages of notes, Sakura flipped to a clean page, cutting the tip pf her finger. Blood slowly oozed out. "Shit." she winced as she wiped the blood on her pants.

She had the feeling of eyes on her. Looking up, she seen Deidara, Itachi, and that orange haired guy glaring at her, hungrily. Raising an eyebrow, she glanced at the chalkboard and began to write again.

The bell ranged, sending the class out of the door. Sakura took her time getting out of class and to her locker. She repeated her actions till she got to lunch. She walked through the lunch room, looking for a seat. "Sakura!"

Sakura turned around to see Tenten waving her to her table. She walked over to them and took a seat by her old best friend, Temari. "Hey, so how have you been?"

With a smile Sakura replied. "I've been good, ever since my mom recovered. What about you guys…any guys?"

Tenten smiled. "Oh yeah-

-Our little Tenten has been getting through the bases with Neji Hyuga." Temari interrupted her with a laugh. Tenten crossed her arms. "Oh, right. Not like you been zipping through them with Shikamaru!"

"What!" Sakura gasped. "I thought Ino dated him."

"Oh hell no little emo boy, Sasuke, got in between. And whatddya know; Ino immediately dumps Shika for Sasuke." Temari sneered. "I hate that bitch so much."

Tenten nodded in agreement. "Ino even snatched our little Hinata!"

"Wow." Sakura chewed on her gum. "Dude. The weirdest thing happen during Science."

Temari and Tenten said "What?" with their eyes.

Sakura continued as she revealed her freshly cut finger to them. "I cut my finger on paper this morning, and I had Deidara, Itachi, and this orange haired guy glare at me."

Temari and Tenten gasped and covered her finger as Itachi walked pass their table. "They're vampires."

Sakura laughed. "Haha, yeah right."

"No, seriously." Temari leaned in. "They're a gang, only gang, that are vampires. As the rumors go their fighting around with the ANBU gang."

"Who're are the vampire gang?" Sakura asked , not fully believing them.

"Akatsuki." They both said. Tenten pointed at the orange hair guy at a lunch table. "That's Pein, the posing leader of the gang. As you know Itachi." she moved her finger to Hidan. "Hidan, Deidara, Sasori," then moving her finger by Pein where set a blue haired girl. "and that's Konan. I don't know where the rest of the gang is, but whatever."

"Hidan sits by me on the bus." Tenten and Temari gasped. "No way!"

Sakura nodded. "Don't let him take a bite outta you." Temari warned.

Sakura scoffed. "I don't even believe vampires exist."

"Well the whole school knows. Just look at Rock Lee's arm."

"Akatsuki's gay?"

"NO!" the two snapped. Then Temari continued. "No…Rock Lee was fighting with Deidara, calling him a girl, and Deidara decided to just bite him."

Shikamaru came up to the lunch table, taking his seat by Temari as Neji and Rock lee sat on Tenten's side of the table. "Hey Rock lee. Show Sakura-chan your bite marks.

"Oh my god, I freaking hate that bastard!" Rock lee pulled up his sleeve to reveal a perfect a pair of fang that were still scabbing. "God! I hate scabs!" Rock lee began to scratch them off, with Tenten and Temari yelling "No!!!"

The Akatsuki glared at their table with hungry eyes. Pein, Itachi, and Sasori got up and walked up to their table. "Why are you picking your scabs, huh? They might make scars." Pein said emotionlessly.

Shikamaru spoke up, "He's just being a dumbass. We aren't looking for trouble."

Pein rested his hand on the lunch table, revealing his fangs. " Well, then what's with the scent of blood in the air?"

Sakura dug her finger nails into her palm, sensing Pein's aura [she was on the end of the table. closest to Pein].

Her body tensed up when she felt the warm liquid drench her blood 'SHIT!'

His eyes shot to her's, he had an evil smile wiped across his face. "Well, well," he grabbed her wrist from under the table and looked at the blood, that dripped onto the table. Itachi's and Sasori's bodies tensed up but then relaxed when they got used to the scent.

"Your blood smells so good." He raised her hand to his mouth, dragging his soft tongue across her fresh wounds.

The whole lunch room grew quiet, watching Pein licking blood off of the new girl! Ino's table gasped with jealously as the guys rolled their eyes.

Sakura moaned as he began sucking on her wounds, feeling his fangs about to break her skin. Temari and Tenten cautionly watched as Neji smack Rock Lee's head. "OW!"

Itachi smirked and pulled a chair and sat in between Shikamaru and Temari. Temari blushed and scooted a little towards Sakura as Sasori took the edge seat of Tenten's side of the table, by Rock lee.

"I thought you guys can't feed in public?" Neji questioned.

Itachi sneered. "Everyone already knows what we are…" "…So who would care?" Sasori finished.

Pein moved down to her wrist, still licking. "What's your name?"

Sakura looked like she was in paradise. "Sa-Sakura Haruno."

"Oh yeah." He grinned against her skin. "I forgot."

Sakura closed her eyes dreamily as he was about to bite her. "What's going on?!" A heavy chested blonde women walked into the lunch room, making Pein brake away immediately. She walked angrily towards him. "Hmmm?"

"Just messing around." Pein smirked as Itachi and Sasori got up and stood behind him. The blonde woman's eyebrows knitted together. "Drinking other classmate's blood is strictly forbidden in our school. And you know that Pein."

"Tsk, my bad." he scoffed.

"That's Tsunade, our principle." Temari whispered into Sakura ear.

"Don't you tsk me!" she growled. "You just earned yourself a detention, young man."

He shrugged. "See you later then." Tsunade turned around and walked out of the lunch room, leaving the room full of whispers from nearby tables.

Pein glanced back down as the rest of his gang arrived at his side. "We'll finish this later." then he zoomed out with his fellow members following behind.

Everyone around let our sighs of relief while Sakura held her wrist.

The rest of the day was a blur in front of Sakura's eyes. Before she knew it she was about to get off the bus and walk inside her house. Turning the doorknob, Sakura could hear her father yelling...

"Damnit! Why can't you understand that you have to stop drinking!" he yelled. Sakura could hear her mother sob. He continued, "We finally got our daughter back, and you pull this crap."

Sakura walked away, stunned but at the same time not surprise. She walked to the back of the house where her room rested. Thank God, that she always had her window open, because she jumped from a tree limb to the window, getting in safely.

Sakura didn't feel like bothering her parents, she could still hear them yell loudly through out the house. She turned up her stereo up loud, making the walls vibrate.

This year is gonna be a tuff one.
