Hey! This is my first story, so please cut me some slack!

Disclaimer: I still don't get the point in this...oh well! I don't own Naruto or any of the characters (unfortunately), if I did, the manga would be SO different! Trust me.

Also, this is rated M for possible lemons!

Can you save me?Chapter 1: Introductions

She stared down at her mothers grave. Today was her mothers birthday and, unfortunately the death of her mother. A tear slowly fell from her emerald green eyes. She laid down a cherry blossom, her mothers favourite flower, on top of the grave.

"Happy birthday, mom. I miss and love you," the pink-haired beauty choked out these words.

The young girl remembered all the good times with her mother. Emerarudo, the name of the her mother, was always there for her.

**FLASHBACK**

"Sakura, I want you to remember that even when I'm not physically there for you, I'll always be in your heart. My time is slowly coming to an end, but if you ever need my help, look up at the sky, and I'll be the brightest star there. Just tell me and I'll help you," Emerarudo whispered on her deathbed. "Sakura, I only have a few minutes left , at the most. Remember… I love you and I'm proud of you…"Emerarudo stopped. Her eyes were closed.

"Mom?" Sakura asked quietly. "MOM?Wake up mom, wake up mom."

Sakura was now violently crying. "Mom… Don't leave me. Please, mom. Don't leave me."

"Sakura…" her best friend, Ino, walked up behind Sakura , bent down and hugged Sakura. "I'm sorry, Sakura."

Sakura didn't respond and carried on crying, now onto Ino's shoulder. Ino felt so helpless. She knew it wasn't fair to Sakura. At least, she thought, my family agreed to adopt her—it might not be the same but it'll help.

**END OF FLASHBACK**

It had been 10 years and her pain had healed but the scar would always be there, right in the centre of her heart.

Sakura heard some noise from nearby and looked up to see what was causing the noise. There, some 10 metres away from her, where two boys. One of them, who looked around a year older than her, had raven coloured, duck-butt shaped hair. The other one, who looked in early twenties, had longer, black hair. They both had the same onyx eyes and their hair framed their faces.

They both looked up but Sakura turned her tear-stained face away quickly. But not quickly enough, as the younger boy had seen the wet droplets falling from her eyes.

Sakura continued to sit by her mothers grave—she did this every year. She would spend most of the day by her mothers grave. After some time Sakura heard some footsteps behind her.

"Hey, are you okay?" a deep yet soft voice asked that earnestly sounded concerned.

Sakura, not in the mood for talking, ignored the boy and just continued staring at the gravestone in front of her. The boy sat down next to her and stared at Sakura's face.

"I'm not going to hurt you," the boy looked at the unmoving Sakura, waiting for a response but when he didn't receive one he continued. "My name's Sasuke Uchiha. And you are?"

Sakura decided that ignoring Sasuke wasn't working so she turned to him, taking his outstretched hand and said, "I'm Sakura Haruno."

"Nice to meet you, Sakura," Sasuke said smiling and shaking her soft hand.

"You too, Sasuke," Sakura smilled back and withdrawing her hand from his muscular yet gentle grip.

Was it just her mind playing tricks or did she really feel that electric shock when she touched Sasuke?

"So what's a pretty girl like you doing in a place like this?" Sasuke asked.

"Today is moms birthday…and the day of her death," Sakura replied, with another tear falling down her light pink cheeks.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked you," Sasuke replied, immediately regretting asking.

"It's fine, honest. You didn't know," Sakura reassured him. "So what's your story for coming here?"

"It's my nans birthday aswell," Sasuke said.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Sakura said, immediately directing her gaze towards the gravestone where she first saw Sasuke.

The older boy/young man was nowhere to be seen.

"It's fine. I don't really remember much about her."

At that moment Sakuras stomach rumbled loudly. She went as red as tomato. Sasuke smirked.

"Want to go grab something to eat," he asked Sakura.

"Yes please," she replied. They both got up and went towards the exit. "So where are we going?" Sakura asked Sasuke.

"I was thinking Subway. It's only a ten minute drive from here." Sakura nodded.

Sasuke led her towards a midnight blue, mercedes convertible. Sakura stared at the car in awe.

Sasuke saw the surprise on her face and, with a smirk, asked, "You like my ride?"

Sakura tore her eyes away from the car and looked incredulously at Sasuke and said, "This is yours? Its amazing.

Sasuke grinned, got in the car and opened the passenger door and said, "Get in, Sakura," and put his seatbelt on. Sakura climbed into the car, closed the door and buckled her seatbelt. Sasuke turned the car on and started driving.

"So, Sakura, what do you drive?" Sasuke asked her nonchalantly.

"I don't drive anything 'cause I'm only fifteen. How old are you?" she asked him.

"I turned sixteen around a month ago."

"Well happy belated birthday!"

"Thanks. We're here."

They both got out and walked into subway and oredered their sandwiches and then sat down at a table in the corner of the room. They talked and talked for ages and learnt a lot about eachother.

Sakura found out that that guy who came to the graveyard with Sasuke was his older brother, Itachi, who was 21 years old. She also learnt that Sasuke's best friend was called Naruto and his family were all alive and healthy and that he was into bands such as Bullet For My Valentine, Three Days Grace and Linkin Park.

Sasuke learnt that Sakura was an orphan but her best friend Ino's family had adopted her and they treated her as if she were their own and she was an only child. He also learnt that she was into Green Day, Hilary Duff and April Sixth.

They talked about their past and dreams for the future. A few hours later Sakura's phone rang and she looked at the caller ID to see that it was Ino. She quickly answered the phone.

"Hey Ino," Sakura said down her mobile.

"Don't 'hey Ino' me! Do you know what time it is? Its eleven PM! That's right—POST MERIDIEM! Where are you, anyways?" Ino screamed down the other end of the phone.

Sakura had cringed away from the phone during Inos rant. "Chill, Ino," Sakura reassured her worried best friend, " I'm fine. I just went out and lost track of time. I'll be on my way immediately."

"You better!" and with that, Ino hung up.

Sakura looked at Sasuke. "Sorry but I didn't realize it was so late and now I'm being demanded home,"Sakura said, her voice trying to hide the regret in it. Sasuke didn't miss this and he offered her a ride a home. She gladly accepted and they both drove to the Yamanaka residence

. Before Sakura got out, she and Sasuke exchanged phone numbers and he promised to stay in contact. They both wished eachother goodnight and then Sakura went in.

Ino, who had been watching from her bedroom window, immediately bombarded Saukura with questions.

"Come on, Saki, tell me who that hottie was!" Ino demanded.

"Shhhhh!" Sakura placed her hand over Inos mouth and said, "I'll tell you once we get into our room. You don't want to wake up mother and father do you? Come on."

The two teens walked into their massive room and Sakura told Ino of the days' events as she changed into her pajamas.

(A/N: This all happened on the last weekend before summer break ended. It was a Friday)
