I stood there stuck in utter horror as I felt instant betrayal well up inside me, making my insides churn. The scene kept replaying in my head over and over again, as my heart threatened to break in two from damage. I could feel my eyes start to sting, threatening to spill tears, but I refused to show weakness in front of him, in front of them. My eyes stayed glued to the scene before me, while my body was screaming for me to run. To run far away from here as I could, to get away, to be anywhere but here, but I couldn't. I just stayed there, waiting. Waiting to be known, to know that I wasn't dreaming, to let them know I was watching.

Then azure met ebony as our eyes connected. The first filled to the brink, with tears of hurt and betrayal, while the latter just looking stunned, like child that was caught stealing a cookie from the cookie jar. I stood there, tears running freely down my face. I just continued staring at him until the other looked up looking just as stunned as the first.

When I finally got control over my body back, I ran. I ran, not bothering to look back as I knew neither of them would follow, but maybe, maybe if I did, things wouldn't be the same. Maybe we could've forgotten this ever happened, that I never saw my boyfriend… well I guess now my ex, with my now ex best friend, things could've went back to normal.

No, things would still be the same; I would never be able to forgive the two of them. I would still be running down these unforgiving halls, blocking out every, and any, sound; not wanting to forgive either of them.

Having no location in mind, I kept on running; I ran till I was far off the school campus. I knew that I couldn't go back to my dorm room for he would surely be waiting there with some lame ass excuse as to what he was doing, so I kept on running. I didn't stop till I knew where I was at; my private little sanctuary, the park. The place that always got rid of my troubles, even when I was I kid. I slowly walked around the park, tired from my little jog, going deeper and deeper into the woods until I reached a familiar tree.

The largest Sakura tree in the whole entire park, the great Ku no Sora tree (1). It was so beautiful this time of the year when the petals were a gorgeous shade of pink with tints of white here and there. I looked up to admire the tree when I noticed that the clouds above were turning gray and streaks of lightning could be seen in the sky.

"Shit," I murmured as I frantically searched for a place to shelter from the storm, but only to find none. I slowly walked over to the tree and leant against the bark, just hoping that it will shelter me enough from the storm till I clear my head, but to find no such luck when the first drop of rain hit me square on the head. I fell to ground and hugged my knees to my chest with sadness clearly written all over my face.

The rain started off in a light, steady beat, with only a few streaks of lightning appearing. I thought back to what happened this morning and that kiss I couldn't get out of my head. My best friend kissing my boyfriend; what kinds of friends do that? 'I hate them both. I hope that feel sorry for what they did.'

The rain started to fall down heavier and the lightning soon turned to thunder. I hugged my knees tighter to chest, for I was hoping that it wouldn't thunder because I was terrified of it. My azure eyes grew bigger as the thunder became louder and more continuous. I started to shake as I grew more terrified with each passing second.

I tilted my head up to the sky as my tears blended into the rain. I slowly extended a shaky hand to push myself up when I heard a twig crack. I stopped moving and I stopped breathing as I heard another twig crack. My heart was pounding in my chest. 'What if it's an animal…or maybe a rapist or a paedophile...? Ew, which would be gross.'

I quickly pushed myself up as fast as I could, which was surprisingly quick even with my shaking. I drew in a big breath as I shakily asked "Who…who's there." The only reply I got was another twig snapping only this time it was closer and barely audible over the thunder.

"Is…is any…body there?" I cried out again, only this time louder. My heart began to pound louder in my chest until the point I thought it was going to explode. I was just about to run when a shadowy figure emerged from the trees. I froze up and closed my eyes hoping it wouldn't see me, too bad that blond hair and orange clothes don't really blend in that well.

I heard the shadowy figure walk towards me as I started to shake more and my heart began to pound into my chest even harder and louder. The thunder was getting louder and the rain was falling to the beat of my heart. Then suddenly, the footsteps came to a stop and the rain stopped too, only I still heard the rain fall and the thunder was still booming so the storm wasn't over. I hesitantly opened one eye to see the figure standing over me. I blinked to make sure I was seeing things right, and I was.

"What are you doing out here?" The figured called in a strong masculine voice that sent shivers down my back; hopefully he thought it was the rain. His black eyes were staring down at me in curiosity and concern.

I continued to stare at him, remembering what Iruka always told me, 'Don't talk to strangers.' I was tempted to turn my head away when I noticed a pin on his jacket that had the initials KBS, with a carrier pigeon on it. It was the symbol for Konohagakure Boarding School, the same school as me. I all of a sudden murmured a, "Nothing," and sat back down.

He continued to stare at me until he walked closer to me and crouched down, bringing the umbrella down with him. He was so close to my face that I could feel his breath on me. Strangely enough it smelled of mints and green tea. "Shouldn't you be back at KBS?" he asked me raising an eyebrow.

We continued to stare at each other, even though I couldn't see what he looked like due to the lack of light, until I broke the silence as I couldn't stand feeling his breath on me, it was driving me crazy. "How do you know that I go to KBS?" I asked, and got him pointing to my pin that matched his. "Oh."

We stayed just like that for a few more moments, just sitting…well me sitting any way and him well, crouching down. He got up, but still keeping the umbrella over me and asked, "Are you coming or staying in the rain?"

I looked up at him innocently with my big blue eyes that were practically begging the man not to leave me here in the rain. "I'm coming," I said to him as I stood up and wearily followed him through the pitch black forest, side by side.

I seriously don't care what you put in it. If its bad or good, or if it even has anything to do with the story.

Well I was also wondering you think I should have made it a little longer cause my lovely betas pointed out that I might want to make it a little longer like aim for around 3000 words…

I would like to thank my betas Imperial Mint and Sasodei-iz-awesome.
