Okay, so this is my first ever attempt at writing a fanfic. I have been contemplating this idea for a long time, so bear with me. This is the prologue/test chapter for my story. Read, review, and I will decide on whether or not to continue. Hope you enjoy! ^_^

Knock.

Grumble.

Knock knock.

Growl.

…Knock knock kn-

"Alright, alright! Dammit I'm up!" A shrill voice screamed from underneath a plethora of pillows. Slowly, a small face poked out from under them. Muttering numerous curses from under her breath, the young woman sat up quickly, a palm connecting with her large forehead as she winced in pain. Gaining her senses, she would steadily pull herself upwards.

Shifting her gaze over to her bedroom door, she scowled when she noticed that it was wide open. Viridian eyes would shoot over to look at the small alarm clock that rested on the nightstand beside her bed. Bold, red numbers displayed 3:38 AM. A deep frown embedded itself into her face as her fist clenched painfully, her knuckles growing dangerously white.

"Who in the hell would be at my door at this hour?!" She half screamed and half questioned rhetorically. Small feet treaded slowly over to the plain white dresser where she slipped on a pair of black pants and mint green jacket. She had not slept with much on, considering the summer nights in Konoha as of late had been rather unbearable. The sudden rush of uneasiness was more than enough to cause the pink haired kunoichi to slip on more clothing.

Grabbing a kunai from her pouch, the young woman made her way to her front door. Clutching the weapon tightly in her small hands, she inhaled deeply. Somehow, she found her courage to open the door before exhaling her breath. Green eyes raked over the white face of the anbu mask, taking on the form of a hawk. Before she could speak, a deep voice spoke from behind the mask. "Haruno-san, your assistance is needed at the hospital. This is a direct request from the Hokage."

Sakura felt an intense chill rush through her spine, causing her to give an almost unnoticeable shudder. Nodding her head slowly, she turned to lock up her home. Turning to face the anbu once more, she nodded. "Alright, let's go." As the two continued in silence to the hospital, Sakura could not help but feel a sense of foreboding. Whatever was waiting for her at the hospital was definitely…

Not A Good Sign.
