Kishumi: My first fiction! Please read and review!

Summary: Sasu/OC. While coming back from one of their missions, the Team 7 comes across with this mysterious girl. Who is she? Why is she giving Sasuke the fuzzies? What "powers"does she hold? And why was she beaten up when they found her? All they knew that there were adventures waiting for them ahead! Hints of Sasu/Saku. No definite pairing in the end.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything, period. Only the plot and OC...damn, I gave it away. Don't sue me because my beta-reader and I will hunt you down like mad hounds. Plus, you won't get much: we don't have credit cards or hold our own money.

Chapter 1: Stalked

Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi-sensei were walking down a dirt road, tired from yet another stupid mission: harvesting some old man's rice fields all morning. Stupid, yet it was still a mission nonetheless—which they had to do!

"My arms feel like concrete…MAN, AM I BORED! KAKASHI-SENSEI, CAN'T WE DO SOMETHING FUN FOR A CHANGE?" Naruto yelled while placing his aching arms behind his back. His whole orange outfit was covered in dirt and some grass and his tousled blonde hair covered his face from the sun.

"Naruto has a point there, Kakashi-sensei…" Sakura agreed with Naruto. "All we do is normal stuff, nothing adventurous." Wincing, the bubblegum haired kunoichi took a good look at her calloused hands. Thanks to Naruto's bad shuriken technique to tear open up the ground, the three ninjas resulted onto using their bare hands! Now glancing at her red robe, she bit her lip…what would her mother do to her?

"Hmph…" was all Sasuke could mutter.

Kakashi-sensei was too busy reading his FAVORITE book 'Come Come Paradise' to notice that they were talking.

'He isn't even listening!' thought Sakura, her eye twitching. "Do you guys have any idea where we're going?" Sakura finally asked. Her sea-foam eyes scanned their surroundings: nothing but trees, blue sky and grass, and the stupid dirt road. Looking on ahead, she saw more trees, damn blue sky and more grass…the dirt road continuing uphill. Added to all the growing confusion, Kakashi didn't respond. They just kept walking down the dirt road not knowing where they were going. After an hour or so, Team 7 stopped for a break. Naruto was complaining that it was already past lunch and he hasn't even eaten yet, his tummy was growling louder than ever!

"NARUTO! COULD YOU PLEASE STOP MAKING THAT WEIRD NOISE?" Sakura asked as politely as she could while raising her voice. She sat next to the idiot with a sigh—blaming herself earlier for not backing away and sitting next to Sasuke while she had the chance. God, this heat drove her insane. Quickly, she slicked stray pink locks off her sweaty—giant—forehead and waited for Naruto's whining.

"I can't help it, Sakura. I'm just sooooooooo hungry!" Naruto replied while scratching his stomach.

Sakura couldn't blame the blonde; they were all hungry and tired. What the hell were they doing in a dirt road anyway? Wasn't there a huge road leading directly back to Konoha? Frowning, she laid back on the grass…completely ignoring Naruto's yelling.

Sasuke could only stare at the two talking—momentarily brooding over why he had to put up with these two. Especially Naruto. Sakura should really get away before Naruto started his momentarily ranting—

"WHY CAN'T WE GO BACK TO THE VILLAGE? I'M STARVING TO DEATH OUT HERE—"

"Eh…too late," Sasuke muttered under his breath, glancing away from the idiot. From the corner of his eye, Sasuke saw a small figure approaching them. Muffling his gasp, he slid the others an impassive glare. But of course the others were to preoccupied to ever notice…those idiots, especially Kakashi-sensei, who was supposedly keen at this kind of crap. The team leader sat there, his nose caught between the pages. Maybe he noticed the small figure approaching them way before the Uchiha did. Assuming, Sasuke just shooed off the thought; they were in no real danger. Kakashi-sensei would know beforehand.

Getting up they continued walking.

The distance wasn't as long as this when they arrived at the fields! Sakura glanced at her shaken hands; damn…she had lost a lot of chakra.

Soon they were walking past the long path leading to huge wooden gates, guarded by two men. The three teens fleeted a look. It was a long way to the entrance but the three could see it.

"Isn't it this way back?" Sasuke pointed at the gates.

"HEY! WASN'T THAT THE ENTRANCE FOR KONOHA?"

"Kakashi—"

"Just keep following me," the silver haired ninja snapped.

It was growing dark and Team 7 was still walking.

"KAKASHI-SENSEI! CAN WE GO HOME YET?" Naruto asked while shouting in his sensei's ear.

"Oh yes! Of course, you guys could have left a long time ago!" Kakashi replied with a smile under his mask. The team stared at their sensei in disbelief: huge white ogling eyes plastered onto the team leader.

Did he just say what he said? We've been following him like lost sheep all this time? Sakura's fists shook in rage as her feet remained planted on the earth.

Deadpan, Sasuke kicked the dirt off his sandals and grunted. That was a total waste.

"What the hell…was that?" the pinkette finally exploded, "You made us miss the entrance and then lead us into the middle of nowhere and for what? NOTHING? If that's what you call adventurous, count me out next time!"

Naruto didn't need to be asked twice. Running as fast as he could, Naruto made his away to the ramen shop in a record speed. Staring at Naruto's retreating back he glanced at his sensei. Sasuke threw a death glare at Kakashi and then turned to leave.

The brooding Sakura noticed Sasuke leaving and without any second thought, she ran towards him.

"Hey, Sasuke! Wait!" she yelled after him.

Again, Sasuke couldn't help to feel like he was being watched or followed. His stomach did a double summersault and the voice on the back of his head told him the same. Turn around. Following on his gut feeling, he turned around to see a girl limping towards him and the bubblegum haired girl. The girl mysteriously appeared…a jutsu? Opening his kunai holder, he froze on the spot. Sakura hadn't noticed her at all, in fact, no one else had. Closing eyes, he opened them in a flash, revealing his red Sharingan eyes.

KAKASHI! He quickly took two kunai out with a huff. "Sakura, come here," Sasuke said coolly while getting into fighting stance. Sakura couldn't believe it…Sasuke "CARED." That word never came across the great Sasuke. Worried, she ran and hid behind his back with her head ducked and her eyes shut.

Stoic, he heard his own heart beating and Sakura's ragged breathing. He had given her quite a scare with the whole, 'get-behind-my-back-or-die' glare accompanied with the kunai and the Sharingan activated. The girl limped and staggered towards them, not armed with any weapon.

She was muttering inaudible, which made Sasuke grow even more suspicious. Her red brown locks were stained with blood that channelled down her chest.

Curious, Sakura peered over his shoulder with a worried glance. "Sasuke…she's—"

"I know," he said, putting his kunai away. Who is she? All he knew he could do was to protect Sakura and kill Kakashi later.

Her dark orange orbs showed distress as staggered a few more steps…

Her pale face was covered in dirt and her clothes looked pretty beaten up.

Once the girl reached Sasuke she said something in a voice so soft and low that anyone could barely hear.

"P-please...please...help...me..." With that she collapsed to the ground…leaving both Sasuke and Sakura wide-eyed and dumbfounded.
