Narusaku: Nyctophilia

Sakura's pov...

The alarm clock rings as I turn it off. I curse under my breath as I look to see my calendar. First day of high school, oh the joy. I heard my mother coming up the stairs as she opened the door. She entered my room and smiles at me. She was so happy to had moved back to her old town. I could see how much joy it had brought to her eyes and smile. On the other hand, I wasn't too happy or joyful.

"Good morning sweetheart! Ready for your first day at high school?" She asked as I let out a sigh.

"I will be, if I start to get ready." I said as I stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

After a long hot shower and getting dressed with my uniform. I was ready to start the day. I walked out of my house as my mother waved goodbye at me. I decided to walk my way to school and admire the cherry blossoms on my way. Spring was always such a joyful season, better than winter that's for sure. As my reality crashed I now realized I was standing right in front of my biggest fear, Konaha High School. Let the games begin...

~Ring~

I walked hurriedly as I tried to make sure my schedule didn't fall of my now sweaty palms. I scan the many classroom, each had different numbers. As I look down at my schedule I dumped into someone. I look up to see a guy with an orange jacket covering his face.

"I'm sorr-"Before I could say anything I was cut off.

"Bye." He said with a low voice as he passed right beside me.

Jerk much? I walked as I finally reached my classroom. Our teacher was apparently named Guy, what an odd name. I sit down as he start his course of history.

"Hey there, new girl!" I heard someone hiss as I look to the side to see a girl with brown hair.

"Me?" I pointed at myself feeling clueless.

"Well, so far I think you're the only new girl. My name is Tenten at your service!" She said with a wink as she pulled out a small key chain bracelet.

"I'm Sakura." I said as we shake hands.

"Pleasure to meet you new girl, so how's Konoha high been treating you?" She asked as Guy kept on ignoring our little chit chat.

"So far, not bad. I'm trying to stay invisible but I did bump into a guy today. He was a complete jerk." I said as I remembered the boy with the orange jacket.

"Really? Care to share?" She asked amused as I smiled.

"It was some guy with an orange jacket." I said as Tenten suddenly paled.

"Orange jacket? You sure?" She asked hiding her tone of voice. She was clearly scared.

"Tenten what's with all this secrecy?" Some other blond girl with four pig tails spoke up.

"Oh, Sakura this here is Temari, Temari, Sakura." Tenten introduced as I smiled.

"Pleasure meeting you Temari." I said with as she smiled.

"Temari, Sakura bumped into a boy with an orange jacket." Tenten said sternly as Temari froze.

What's going on? It's clear to me that they both know which boy I'm referring too. But, what's really scaring me is how pale they get whenever I mention him. The bell rings as Guy dismisses us. I stand up quickly and follow both of them.

"By any chance did he have blond hair?" Tenten asked as Temari studied me.

"I didn't see him well, he looked like he was in a hurry." I said as they both exchanged looks.

"Sakura you definitely have to hang out with us." Temari said as I gave her a puzzled look.

"There are rules in this school. And not your typical school board rules, rules among the students." Tenten said with a hint of fright.

As she spoke a group of girls passed by us. One had long black hair with white eyes and the other had blond hair with blue eyes. They glared at me and continued to walk while another group of girls followed behind like puppy dogs. Popular girls...

"They glared at us..." Tenten said as Temari rolled her eyes.

"Shocker, let's get Sakura to her next class." Temari said as she snatched my schedule.

"Gym." Tenten said as Temari nodded.

"Guess we're together?" I asked as they smiled and nodded.

As we walked into gym class. I meet with our teacher Kakashi-sempai. He was, weird. He kept holding onto a stupid novel. Which was pretty rare to see from a guy. He blew his whistle and asked for all of us to play different sports till he was done reading his final chapter. As he dismissed us, I realized that practically all the boys were gathered in a small gang. And that's when I saw him. The boy with the orange jacket...

"Sakura!" I heard Tenten shout as I reacted and kicked the ball.

Temari caught it while Tenten clapped at my quick reflexes. I gestured them to come over where I was as they followed. I pointed at the boy who was making now, direct eye contact with me. Tenten and Temari paled even more. Those blue eyes of his, they were a dark blue...

"Everyone! Gather around." Kakashi called as we all rushed to his side. "Sadly I finished my novel which means I have nothing more to amuse me. But, since I have you guys. Then I'll have to use you guys to use me. Anyhow, let the games begin. We will play soccer. But this time, I'll pick the teams." He continues as everyone stayed quiet.

I couldn't help but feel a little suffocated. The guy was looking at me without a care in the world. Perhaps he was studying me or something. I didn't dare look to my right because I would make immediate eye contact with him.

"Alright, Team A will be; Hinata, Ino, Neji, Rock Lee and Sai. Team B; New girl, Sasuke, Naruto, Temari and Gaara. May the show begin." Kakashi said as he smiles and sits in the bleachers.

The guy with the orange jacket steps forward as he removes his hoodie revealing his blond hair. Another pale boy shows up with dark midnight colored hair and a very stoic look. Red hair boy shows up with a odd tattoo in his forehead. He seems to get along swimmingly with Temari which meant he wasn't bad.

"This is ridiculous..." The black haired boy said as the guy with the orange jacket looked at him.

"Everything is ridiculous to you Sasuke. Alright team time for a game plan. I certainly don't want to lose." The boy with the orange jacket said as we gathered around.

"I suggest you leave me as the goalkeeper." The red haired boy said as Temari nodded.

"Gaara, are you sure about this?" Sasuke asked as Gaara rolled his eyes.

"I'm pretty sure I can take it." Gaara said firmly as Temari smirked.

"Temari can be defender." The guy with the orange jacket said as I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Sasuke you can be midfielder." He continues.

"Naruto, what about the new girl?" Sasuke asked as I glared.

"My name is Sakura, not new girl." I snapped as Sasuke glared at me.

"She can be defender with me, if that's alright with you Naruto-kun." Temari asked practically pleading. Why so much respect?

"Seems ok to me, I'll be the attacker." Naruto said with a smug smirk as I raised my eyebrow.

Kakashi whistled before I could say anything. He ordered us to get into our positions. Neji was in attacker position with Naruto. Rock Lee was midfielder like Sasuke. Hinata and Ino were defenders like me and Temari and Sai was goalkeeper like Gaara. Kakashi placed the ball in the middle as they began the game. Naruto and Neji started kicking the ball as Naruto manage to get the ball. Sasuke got out of his position to help Naruto defend the ball. Sadly Rock Lee decided to take the ball but Sasuke stole it back. He kicked it to Naruto and Naruto made a goal.

"SAI! PAY ATTENTION TO THE FREAKING BALL AND STOP DRAWING!" Ino shouted as Sai gave her the middle finger.

They started the game again. Naruto took the lead as he grabbed the ball but to our unwanted surprise Ino surprised him and took the ball. Rock Lee and Neji blocked Naruto and Sasuke as she ran towards us. Temari got ready but I got out of my spot and grabbed the ball as Ino tried to make me trip but I stayed firmly. She was behind my tail but I kicked the ball hard enough that Naruto caught it with his chest and kicked it making another goal. Temari and me hi-five each other as Ino growls at us. We started the game again as this time all of team A attacked Naruto at once. I gasp at the sight as they all cover him.

"Naruto!" Sasuke ran towards him.

I left my spot to help. Temari was shouting at me to get back but I ignored her. Sasuke got Neji and Rock Lee off Naruto but Hinata and Ino had the ball. I took the ball off Hinata and Ino as the boys kept on fighting.

"Oh no you don't!" Ino shouted.

One shot, I kicked the ball as hard as I could and I manage to make a goal. Everyone cheered as the boys stopped fighting and looked at the goal. As I smiled and cheered I was soon greeted with the contact of the floor. Ino was on top of me about to punch me but I pushed her off me. Temari ran towards me as she manage to get her away from me. Hinata and Ino glared at me as Temari left their side and helped me up.

"Totally unfair! She hit my cousin." Neji said as he grabbed my arm and pressed it hard.

"You're hurting me you ass let go of me!" I hissed.

"HEY! Let her go." Tenten said as she got in the way.

"I'm not done with you." Naruto said as he grabbed Neji's shirt as everyone gasped.

"What's wrong Naruto?" Neji said mockingly.

"Attacking me like that in the game and then trying to hurt my teammate. That's pretty low Neji." Naruto said as I widen my eyes.

Kakashi got in the way as he separated Naruto from Neji. Sasuke was glaring fiercely at Rock Lee who was trying to avoid eye contact. Naruto left the place as I follow him. He looked seriously mad. I touched his arm as he turned around and that's when I saw...
