Hi, everyone...I know I should be working on Fainting or Prophecy, but I had to start to write this. I'm really going to enjoy writing this, I already know...

So, this is my first real AU. What I mean by 'real' is that I've tried writing a few, but none of them have captured my real writing like this one. It will be a slow processing story, written whenever I have time.

I can't wait to read what you guys think of it! -squeals happily- I really, really, really love it, so please, review me!

-(-A/N-)-

I need to give you guys some background info before the story, so here goes:

The story takes place in Kohona City, which is divided up into ten sections- Downtown, West Suburb, South Suburb, East Suburb, North Suburb, Northeast Suburb, Southeast Suburb, Southwest Suburb, Northwest Suburb, and Central Suburb. The Kohona City government is called The Rack, and they have underground spies to 'mingle' with the people and find things out. Half the population had some sort of enhanced genetic (which is what the Byukagan and Sharingan are), and half are normal citizens. There are two 'gangs'; The Southeast Suburb Gang, and the SBK 'Anti-Gang'. The SESG wants control over the whole city and the Rack, and the SBK tries to mellow them out. All members of both gangs are genetically-enhanced.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the ideas for this story.

In the Shadows of the Dark Alleys

Chapter One: SBK

2020

Kohona City, West Suburb

BoHarra's Gate

Slap slap slap slap slap. The young, pink-haired teen rushed away from the gang that was terrorizing the downtown.

I can't believe I almost let myself get caught by them… The girl continued running. I was careless!

The panicked teenager started to run faster. Her footsteps became faster and soon she was nothing but a pink blur, gone to the winds.

Kohona City, Central Suburb

Central Garden

"TEME!"

The black-haired, onyx-eyed boy smirked from his place hiding behind the fountain, where he was reading. He was hiding to escape being bored by 'the Dope', his best friend in the world.

Really, they had the weirdest relationship ever, as friends. It was…rather…odd, how they treated each other.

"Naruto. Quit it. If he wants to be alone, let him. We have things to do."

Thank you, Neji, The black-haired boy thought to another one of his friends.

The black-haired boy was Sasuke Uchiha, an eighteen-year-old genetically-enhanced orphan. He was moody, smart, and one of the best looking males in Kohona City. He was also part of an anti-gang called SBK, standing for three of the most enhanced, advanced, powerful genetic enhancements in Kohona City-the Sharingan (which Sasuke had), the Byukagan (which Neji had) and the Kunargan (of which no one in SBK had). SBK was currently trying to track down one of the few holders of the Kunargan to join them.

Naruto was Naruto Uzumaki, another member of SBK. Naruto was Sasuke's best friend. The two had been through a lot, including running away from the orphanage they had been placed in. He had blond hair and bright sapphire blue eyes. He was loud and obnixous. Naruto had a weird enhancement called Demon's Blood within him, giving him lots of extra chakra, or genetic-energy.

Neji was Neji Hyuuga, a prodigy from the Hyuuga Clan, all of whom had been enhanced with the Byukagan. He had long, chocolate-brown hair and brown eyes. He was cool, calm, collected. He had ran away from his clan after they had placed a seal on him, to control him.

"But, NEJI-"

"Naruto. We have better things to do then find the missing leader of our group, like finding one of the holders of the Kunargan."

"Fine, whatever," Naruto grumbled. His voice started to sound farther away. "Let's go. Let the coward be found by the police by hisself."

"…Naruto. HIMself. Not HISself. HIMself,' Neji corrected.

"Whatever, Neji. Don't be a grammer snob."

"I AM NOT a grammer-!"

"Keep telling yourself that." The sound of a gate closing sounded.

"Y'know, Sasuke, this isn't the best place in all the world to hide," A lazy-sounding voice said next to him.

Sasuke turned around to see Shikamaru Nara, the laziest member of SBK, but one of the smartest.

"Naruto's too dumb to find me here. Besides, once I ditched him, I was going to find a Kunargan holder myself."

"And how do you plan to do that?"

Sasuke smirked. "Just trust me, Nara."

Shikamaru stared at the black-haired boy. "If you say so, Sasuke."

Kohona City, North Suburb

SBK North Hideout

A blond-haired female with blue eyes leaned back in her chair. "jeez, the boys are taking sooooo long!"

"We know, Ino," A girl with brown hair in two buns rolled her eyes.

"Well, then, Miss Know-It-All, why don't you-"

A navy-blue-haired girl with white eyes not unlike Neji's poked her fingers together. "G-g-guys, c-c-can w-we n-n-not f-f-fight??"

A black-haired girl with purple highlights and purple eyes smiled at the navy-blue-haired girl. "Hinata, you know they're not gonna listen to you, right?" She said, wrapping an arm around Hinata.

"I k-k-know, S-s-sia."

A black-haired, black-eyed girl leaned forward from her spot on the back of the couch. "Hey, Ino, Tenten, cut it out. You're making Hina nervous!"

"Sorry, Kin,' Tenten said sarcasticly.

Kin flipped her off.

"Hey, you two, quit it," A deep voice said from the doorway. A redhead male stepped out of the shadows and into the light.

"Hey, Gaar!" Kin greeted the red-headed male.

The male growled deep within his throat. "It's GaarA, Kin. Get it right."

Sia jumped from her spot next to Hinata. "Aw, c'mon, Gaara! Take it easy. We're all just having a little fun 'til Sai, Sasuke, Naruto, Neji, Kiba, Temari, and Shikamaru get back."

Gaara made a sound in the back of his throat, but followed Sia back towards the couch.

"Hey everyone!" The door opened and a dirty-blond female, followed by a brown-haired male with red triangle tattoos on his cheeks, came in.

"Tem! Kiba!" Ino cheered. "Yays, you're back!"

Temari rolled her eyes. "Jeez, Ino, can't spend one moment out of your life without arguing with me, can you?"

Ino grinned. "Nope, I can't!"

The door opened and Sasuke and Shikamaru trudged in.

"Uchiha."

"Sabaku."

Gaara and Sasuke indulged themselves in a glaring contest while everyone else sweatdropped.

"TEME! YOU LEFT ME!" A blond-and-orange blob tackled Sasuke to the floor.

"Naruto, get off him! You're killing him!" Sia scolded him. Pushing Naruto off Sasuke, Sia helped her brother up off the floor.

"Hey, any luck?" She asked him.

"Slipped right through my fingers. Again," Sasuke glared at the floor.

Sia patted his shoulder. "Hey, it's okay."

Ino put a finger on her chin. "Hmmmm…I think I know a Kunargan user."

"WHAT???" The whole room erupted.

"Yeah…Sasuke, you said the female users have green eyes, emerald being the most often shade, and have odd hair colors, pink 70 percent of the time?"

"Yeah," Sasuke said in a monotone voice, waiting for her to continue.

"We-ell, if I'm right, then one of my old childhood friends is a Kunargan user."

Everyone tensed in excitement. "Well? Do you know where she is now?" Sasuke demanded.

Ino tapped her chin in thought. "Hmmm…if I remember correctly, she's an underground government spy."

"And? Her name?"

"Sakura Haruno."

So...please leave your thoughts on this first chapter.

it took me a while to get the places correct, so please tell me if you think that the formatting for the places is right???

Anyway, the members of SBK are: Sasuke (leader), Gaara, Kiba, Shikamaru, Naruto, Neji, Sai, Kin, Sia, Tenten, Temari, Hinata, and Ino, if you haven't guessed (I think I made it a little unclear).

Hopefully, as the story goes on, everything will become more clear.

I'd love to keep this short, so I'm going to wrap it up with another reminder (PLEASE LEAVE REVIEWS!) and a BUH-BYE!
