This is just the (very short) first chapter of my new fanfic, and it's mainly and introduction to the story and nothing more. I hope you enjoy it :)
Chapter 1- EDITED
Blood. There's so much blood…I look down at my school uniform skirt. Blood spatters on my skirt, on my white blouse. My yellow hat with the black ribbon rests in a pool of it.
"Mother?" A frightened girls voice echoes in the large hallway. "Father?" Little pudgy hands shake the bodies. "Please wake up." The little girls voice quivers as it holds back tears. A small voice. My voice.
A vase shatters on the ground, the sound splitting my ears. I look up quickly. A teenage boy stands there, half in shadow. Something drips from his mouth and patters onto the ground. It's scarlet. I whimper as the boy takes a step towards me. I can't say anything; I just sit there on my knees, whining, holding onto my mothers' hand. A hand reaches towards me, but stops when the door to the mansion is burst opened, my nanny, the police and a various other management bursts through the door. I look back up at the boy, but he's gone.
"Sakura!" My nanny screams, scooping me up in her arms and holding me tight, petting my fuchsia hair. My head droops onto her shoulder, my whole body going limp. Everyone is rushing around, trying to cover the body, calling for back up, calling for an ambulance. No one notices him in the doorway. Red eyes, wiping the blood off his chin. Dark hair pulled back, dark clothes, pale skin. The boy who killed my parents. He stares right into my eyes and everything turns black.
"No!" I scream, and shoot straight up. My fellow students look at me, the teacher glaring maliciously. Some start laughing and I blush bright red.
"No? Do you find a flaw in the way I teach physics, Sakura-chan?" Iruka said, crossing his arms. I take a stray piece of hair and tuck it behind my ear. After a disaster of a hair cut last Saturday, it was short and I barely had any bangs left. I'm sure I looked lovely with my hair askew and my face red from resting it on the desk.
"No, Iruka-sensei. I think you teach physics perfectly fine." I mumbled and he rolled his eyes and went back to the board.
"What was that, Sakura?" Naruto turned around in his seat to look at me. I looked at my best friend and smiled, shaking my head.
"Nothing. Just a dream that I went to the mall and Temari had bought the last pair of Jimmy Choos." I told him, not wanting him to worry about me. After 12 years of nothing but pity and sad looks from people, it got tiring. 'Oh there's that girl whose parents were murdered.' 'She lives in that big mansion all by herself.' Blah blah blah.
"Jimmy who?" Naruto asked. I smiled and rolled my eyes.
"Never mind. I wouldn't expect you to know." I said and Naruto shrugged. I began to pay attention to Iruka again, though I already knew everything he was teaching us about physics, thanks to my godmother Tsunade. Not only was Tsunade a great tutor in education she was funny and had the best advice about everything, from boys to clothes. To me, Tsunade was my mother and ultimately my best friend. Without Tsunade, I didn't know what I would have done after my parents died. Tsunade, who at the time of my parents death was running from gambling debts, decided to be my guardian after the managers of the Haruno estate promised to pay off her debts. She had lived with me ever since.
Tsunade was great friends with Jiraiya, Naruto's godfather, which was how Naruto and I had become friends, and stayed friends ever since. We had had sleepovers ever since we were little (which recently stopped because Tsunade was afraid of Narutos raging teenage hormones and general horniness) and pretty soon we began to hang out on our own without Tsunade and Jiraiya.
I began to doodle a cherry blossom on the top of my paper when I felt a pair of eyes on me. I discreetly looked up with just my eyes, keeping my head unmoving. Searching the room, they eventually made contact with Sasuke Uchiha. I stared at him until he looked away. My heart stopped, and I dropped my pencil. I swore I saw his eyes flashing a brilliant red before he looked away.
Sasuke Uchiha was not someone that anyone in the room wanted to mess with. He and his gang (christened the "Hawks") had the whole school under their control, with Sasukes' dad pouring money into the school. Sasuke, Jugo, Karin, and Suigetsu were the members of the gang, riding expensive motorcycles that were most likely paid for by Sasukes father. Most of the time the four skipped school to work on their motorcycles or do God knows what.
Sasuke tended to be on the arrogant side, and why shouldn't he be? He had looks and a bad boy edge to him which pretty much guaranteed him to win the hearts of all the girls in the school. I admit that he was gorgeous. He had ebony hair that hung lightly in front of his face and which he cut at a sexy angle in the back. His onyx eyes were beautiful, his olive complexion flawless. All the time in the garage did his body well too, his muscles built up to not body builder big but to just the right-size-sexy big.
And he had just stared at me. If it was a good or bad sign, I wasn't sure.
"Sakura-chan!" Naruto's voice called out from behind me. I turned around and smiled at him. "You want to walk over to my house and hang out for a while?" He asked as we began walking towards the gate of the school.
"No thanks Naruto, I need to talk to Tsunade about stuff when I get home." I replied, frowning at the disappointed look on his face. I sighed. "I'll call your cell later, okay?" His face lit up and he grinned.
"Awesome. Catch you later." He called and ran off down the street with Kiba. I watched them go and turned around to walk home. I decided to take the more scenic route home; although it was longer I enjoyed looking at all the flowers, plants and trees. The air seemed cleaner this way as well. I didn't like being alone though, because pretty soon my thoughts began to catch up with me and I started to think about Sasuke and his eyes in the middle of class.
The quiet of my surroundings was interrupted by the loud purring of…what was that? My stomach dropped. It sounded like motorcycles. And the sound kept getting louder and louder. I turned around and my stomach might as well have fallen out my ass and been dragging on the concrete behind me. Sasuke and the rest of the Hawk were riding their motorcycles towards me. I quickly turned back around and began walking faster towards my house.
Don't look at them. They think they're the shit with their motorcycles…don't look at them it's what they want. But god Sasuke looks good on that piece of machinery…god, shut up estrogen, just keep walking home. Sasuke looks like a freaking cockatoo with his hair he's not hot, keep walking.
The growling of the motorcycle was right beside me, and it ended as the engine was killed. I stopped walking and looked to my left. Sasuke was standing their, taking his helmet off. Sweat dripped down his face, highlighting everything good about his face. Damn him. Sasuke opened his eyes and looked straight into my eyes.
"Sakura." Was the one word he muttered, and the other three members of the Hawk took their helmets off and stood there staring at me as well, smirks on all of their faces. I nodded in his direction, acknowledging that was indeed my name. Was it? I would have said more but right now I couldn't even move.
Sasuke got up off his bike and moved nearer to me. He smelled slightly of something musky, probably some oil or something from the garage. He also smelled lightly coconutish, like sunscreen mixed with the husky scent of boy. It was addictive.
"Hey, Sakura. We're your new entourage." Sasuke said, smirking. I was sure those few words had put an extremely stupid looking expression on my face.
"E-entourage?"
Wow another ItaSaku fanficcc :) I hope you guys like this one, it's in a different setting and in a different style that I'm not used to doing. This plot is so new to me, I'm not even really sure of what I'm doing or where I'm going with it haha. Some of it isn't very realistic like Sasukes parents still being alive and Sakura being filthy rich, but it's a fanfic and I've decided I'm not giving a crap about it anymore lol. So read, reviews aren't necessary but encouraged because they really do encourage me to keep writing, knowing that people out there are actually reading the crap I post haha. So anyway, much love to my readers and even more to my reviewers and I hope you enjoyed this little taste of my new fanfic, The Apostasy.
