Hello, thank you for clicking to read this story.

This is just a story that I came up with. I planned it a bit. In short, this story is about psychics.

Main pairings: SasuSaku

Wings of Espers

Prologue:

I carried on walking, right behind my group of friends or rather fake friends. They do nothing but speak to me when necessary, their complaints, their problems and their homework.

At other times, apart from these, I stood amidst them like a ghost, as if I didn't exist, being ignored of my presence. Even my so called best friend forgot me with another friend, and my good friend (who was also my crush) didn't know that I was there.

Other than school problems, at home I was a locked bird stuck in its cage. I was like an out of date toy. I didn't know much about the world and what was happening, only knowing the simpler stuff like weathers and climates. But never about sports or famous people, because I was never allowed to watch television or do anything that teenagers would do everyday, like going out and watching movies.

The only time I was free, was when I was left alone at home.

My name didn't even suit me, Sakura or cherry blossom. The meaning behind it was definitely not suited for me.

But eventually it had all change, finally it did. When I found out that I was a psychic. It was far from being ordinary, but at least I wasn't so lonely anymore; I had new friends to talk to, who are just like me.

An easier name for us, since each of us is different with unique powers, is the name Esper.

It had all began on that day…

Chapter 1 - The Cause of Change

I just heard laughter and chattering sounds. But I couldn't hear a single word my friends were saying. Correction, I couldn't hear a single word my fake friends were saying. Everything felt black and white.

They weren't speaking to me, nope, they never did unless necessary.

I was a loner, because my friends had all forgotten about me. I didn't care anymore, because they were all the same. The type that I didn't like, the type of people who are called teenagers because everything was about looks and popularity.

I had long forgotten why I had become their friends. Maybe because at that time I liked them and they were different. It didn't matter, no matter how much my heart pained.

I decided that today, I would walk away from them. They wouldn't notice nor would they care. At least I would feel happy, but maybe not that happy.

I turned my back on them and with a sigh, I walked away. I decided to sit in a quite spot where I wouldn't have to have people staring at me. Not a nice feeling, especially when you're by yourself. I always felt conscious about it.

As I reached a tree to sit on, I noticed that someone else was already there. I looked at the person, surprised, I didn't notice this stranger sitting there, or rather sleeping.

This person was a boy, who looked a year older than me. His features were quite handsome and dark at the same time, mysterious.

Not wanting to walk alone to find a different spot, I poked the boy when I had enough courage to do so.

"Hey, are you suppose to be sleeping?" I had never seen a student sleep during break, only during classes; it was something new to see, I wondered if he had ever missed the bell before.

The boy stirred a bit and opened his eyes, and then sat up slowly, keeping his eye fixed on me, not saying a word.

"Um, you don't have to stare…" I said nervously.

He still said nothing and kept staring at me.

"Sorry for waking you up, I was just…curious."

I couldn't think up of anything else to say. I would never tell a stranger about how I'm feeling and bust out everything to them. That would have been downright stupid.

He sighed, "I'm not stupid. You're a loner."

My eyes widened in surprise, 'how did he know that?' But I wasn't just surprised, I was also very sad. I looked down at my feet and just felt blank.

Maybe talking to strangers was a bad way of trying not to be lonely. How much I hated that. 'Screw you.' I mentally said to the stranger.

I heard him frown and looked at him. It somehow felt like he knew what I had just thought.

Suddenly I felt strange, and I felt something overcoming me.

"Annoyance?" I mumbled out, confused. I felt an emotion, annoyance, but I wasn't feeling annoyed at all.

I looked at the boy; he seemed to be wiped out of emotions. He even held an expressionless face.

"You're…annoyed…with me…" I slowly worded out, confusingly.

He looked at me with his eyes slightly widened. "What…did you just say?"

I looked at him nervously, "Um, I asked if you are annoyed with me?"

He shooked his head, "No you didn't, you said that I was annoyed with you."

"Um…" I didn't know what to say. I didn't even know why I had said that. It just felt like he was.

But come to think of it, I had always had this strange feeling within me, though it was never as strong as just nows.

'Could it have been because of him?' I looked at the boy with a confused expression. I frowned.

The problem was, I hardly felt annoyed. I only became annoyed at my family or my other friends. So it couldn't be me.

Not wanting to stay with this stranger anymore, I began to walk away, but was stopped with a hand on my shoulder. I turned to look at the person who stopped me.

"Your name?" he asked.

I pondered for a minute; I was never one to actually give my names to strangers. Especially since I hated my name, but I just gave in. I was just too polite.

"Sakura Haruno." I said, and then walked away quickly. But not before hearing, "I'm Sasuke Uchiha."

For some odd reason, I felt my face heat up. I didn't know why, but maybe because the way he said his name was…captivating.

~After school~

'Where's my aunt?' I thought as I walked up and down, past parked cars and students.

'Damn my parents for being such busy people.' My parents were always working, so they never have time to fetch me or help me with stuff.

My aunt had to always take me home after school. I didn't like her, because she was resentful, always being angry on small things and stupid things. I would say I hated my family, but that's a strong word, so I used the word disliked.

I decided that I should just walk to my 'second' home. It's actually my grandparents, but my aunt made me call it my second home. 'Pathetic.'

The house wasn't far from the school and I didn't care what'd happen to me when I get there. After all, I wasn't allowed to walk home since it's oh-so-dangerous.

I definitely had some hate towards my family, but I kept forcing myself to use the word dislike.

I started walking across a street to reach to other side. But I wasn't concentrating on the road; my mind was too busy thinking about my hatred towards my family.

So before I knew it, I heard a beeping sound.

My head jerked up towards the source of the sound. A truck was charging towards me, full speed.

All I could do was smile; I hope that it ends here, I thought.

Darkness surrounded me and I floated into nothingness.

o.O.0.O.o

'Why is it that I still feel alive?' I thought. I felt myself floating.

"That's because you are still alive." A kind voice had said.

I opened my eyes and saw a winged figure in front of me. "An. . . angel?"

The angel smiled, "Yes."

"Why am I here?" I asked the angel, sitting up.

"Because you must live on."

I took a closer look at the angel. It was a guy, but I couldn't see his feature. He was just too. . .bright.

"Why?" I asked.

He smiled at me, "Because you still have a life to complete."

I felt my shoulders slump. "I guess that I still want to achieve something in my life." I told the angel softly.

I didn't want to live such a boring and negative life. I wanted to be happy.

"But, I don't know if I can survive it." I said more loudly this time.

The angel just smiled at me, "You can. Because you are strong." He said.

I smiled back softly, "Why is it that you're here?"

"To guide you."

"I see…"

"Now return to your body, we will all be helping you." He told me.

"Who?" I asked.

But I never got a reply as I was slowing disappearing from the angel, but I did see many people behind him. I couldn't see who they were, though they did look like ordinary people.

'Spirits.' I thought.

And I woke up.

You should carefully look at Sakura's character in this chapter and then how she'll be like in the future^^
