(Some Sort of) Love Story by Melinda-chan

Due to some (nonexplicit) sexual and violent content, this story is rated M (R). Rest assured there'll be nothing too graphic, and there'll be no lemon. Still, this story is a bit high on the "not for kids" stuff. Reader discretion is therefore advised.

Now that is over with, let this story begin!

The sky was almost as black as a ninja's standard clothes. The moon was just a slit, so that only the most well-trained eyes could see the ground below.

It was just perfect for Sakura.

Quietly, and dressed in black, Sakura opened her bedroom window and let herself out. She quickly went atop of the roof and jumped from roof to roof. She dared not stop moving, for she feared that if she did so, she would have gone back home.

For her lover awaited her arrival.

Sakura breathed a silent sigh of relief when she saw his house. She leaped on his roof and went down the wall. She then located the window of her lover's bedroom and opened it.

"Hello?" Sakura said. It was completely dark inside. That was not surprising, but she couldn't hear a sound too.

'He couldn't have been gone away?' Sakura thought. She then felt a presence behind her.

"You're getting a bit lax, Sakura," his voice echoed throughout the room. "You should be able to detect anyone in the dark by now." Sakura turned around. All of a sudden she felt someone push her right into the bed.

"Sasuke…" Sakura started to say when his mouth stopped her. As she felt him go atop of her, her mind went back to the day that changed their lives forever.

It was her fault, really.

It started when Sakura was just sitting on an outdoors bench when she saw him walking by.

This was her chance.

"Hey, Sasuke-kun!" Sakura said, waving her hands.

"Idiot!" her inner voice said. "Now he thinks I'm a moron!" However, he did turn toward her.

"What do you want?" Sasuke questioned. This was it. Sakura took a deep breath.

"Wouldyougooutwithme?" Sakura said in one breath. Sasuke stood there with a puzzled look in his face.

"I saw your lips moved, but they were going too fast," Sasuke said.

"Would-yougooutwithme?" Sakura said at first a little slower. At first, Sasuke stood there as if thinking.

"I SAID WOULD YOU-" Sakura started to say louder when Sasuke put his hand over his mouth.

"I know what you are saying now," Sasuke said in a low voice. "Are you sure you're ready now?"

'What is he talking about?' Sakura thought. But she nodded anyway. He then let go of her mouth.

"Very well. Go to my window at midnight and do it in disguise," Sasuke said. "I shall await your arrival." With that, he left. At first, Sakura was perplexed.

'Oh, I get it!' Sakura thought. 'He wants me to stand by his window! How romantic!' Little did Sakura know the high price she will soon pay or its long-range consequences.

End of Chapter One

I hope that people liked the first chapter. I should remind people that there'd be nothing too graphic, so don't ask for anything beyond what you see now (not that it's allowed anyway). What does Sasuke have in plan for Sakura and what will be the price for it? Please do not forget to review!
