Ahhh.... I've had this worked on for a while, but never got around to putting it up. I had it originally put up on a website and my myspace but now, I'm putting it here. This is a collection of my Naruto one- shots that I did like two or three years ago... can't remember. I hope you like them... I worked hard on these.

Chapter 1- Sakura- When I called your name

As a young girl, she dreamed of the day she would find love in that one special boy, looking past her flaws and big forehead. But, out of all the boys she saw, she didn't like either of them. They were either too loud or too cocky and what she wanted in a man was someone who cared enough to call her by her first name and not the last name then first name... just her first name. Of course, none of the other boys saw her or even glanced at her... probably thought of her as some pink haired freak who wanted to hide her big forehead.

And then, while walking home, she saw him, alone by himself and walking slowly down the road. She couldn't help but watch as he stopped and looked into the sky, eventually continuing on his way, holding his school books at his side. She knew him... his name was Uchiha Sasuke, the last one after the demise of his clan not long ago. Maybe, if she was real nice to him, they could be friends and then maybe something more. She quickly ran to him, a big grin plastered on his face.

"Sasuke- kun!" she called, making him stop and turn around. He seemed surprised that she stopped beside him and that goofy grin plastered on her face. Her emerald eyes shimmered slightly as she held her school books in front of her. "I was thinking that maybe we could walk home together. You seem so sad and to be walking by yourself is just wrong."

Sasuke blinked his dark eyes at her and turned away, walking on without her. Sakura felt hurt and she just stood there, feeling tears well into her eyes. But, she was surprised when he replyed.

"No thanks, Sakura- chan. You're just like all the other girls, wanting something they can't have and only want to touch. Best you don't get to close to get hurt."

Sakura was speechless as he turned the corner, disappearing from her veiw. And then she decided that with all her power, she was going to have Sasuke and make him her own. Even if it meant getting hurt in the process. She smiled softly and went on her way, determined to make him her fall in love with her.

Yes, it is short... keep in mind these are one shots with no set limit... can be long or short. So for those who have complained about my work as being "short and not long like you promise" don't flame me on the length.
