Note: I have A LOT of stories out, but that helps me think better. I don't know why, but it does. Well this is my first Naruto fic. I really haven't read that much of Naruto because of the stupid American society. Well, I'll let you read. I'll just hope that republicans and senators don't read my notes.

Chapter 1: A Normal Day Gone Bad

Sasuke stood outside. The wind was blowing very oddly. He felt a presence as he smelled a fragrance. It was a perfume. Rose, he thought. He turned around as he heard Naruto and Sakura running around. "Finally, we have a break from lessons," Naruto yelled. Sakura just ran around and said, "I don't know why you're so happy about it. I was actually looking forward to our next lesson." Naruto stopped and said, "Wait! I forgot to tell you! The only reason why we can't have lessons is because there are new recruits coming. They are to be tested!" Sakura asked immediately, "Can we watch?" "Of course," Naruto said with glee. Sasuke overheard this and thought of the idea amusing. Training new recruits? This ought to be interesting, Sakuya thought. He walked on by without acknowledging Naruto or Sakura. He couldn't wait until he saw all of the recruits fall on their faces. Sakura watched him leave with sorrowful eyes. She longed for Sasuke to like or even NOTICE her. But she knew that it would never happen.

"HI-YAA!" A whole group of people were aligned outside, ready to be tested. Sasuke laughed as he saw a boy fall on his butt from an unsuccessful high kick. "O...kay. Ms. Heartlock! Ms. Rain Heartlock! Please step up, "Kakashi called over the crowd. Sasuke watched as a girl in all black stepped forth. She had a katana of a great length strapped to her side; blue eyes; and mid-back black hair. She looked at Kakashi and bowed politely. "I'm ready for my test, sir," was all that she said. Sasuke looked from the top of a tree and watched as Kakashi set out simple tasks for her. "Cut down these twenty trees within the time limit...GO!" She ran past them in an incredible speed with her katana swinging in the direction of the trees. As all the trees fell, Kakashi stopped the timer. "2 minutes," he said. He smirked and said, "Well, then. Spar with me." Rain looked at him emotionlessly, but Sasuke could see pleasure in her dark blue eyes. "Alright," she said with a smirk of her own. He started twrling her katana around as she looked at Kakashi's left eye. "I see that you have the technique, Sharingan. This will be interesting," Rain said as she jumped in the air. Kakashi was expecting this and began to block, but didn't see her. He looked down and saw her at last. She hit him and he fell to the ground. He laughed and said, "Well, you surprised me. That's for sure." Rain blew it off and looked at Kakashi again. "Do I pass or not," she asked coldly. "Yeah, you pass. You know, Sasuke and you would get along just fine," Kakashi said with a chuckle. He got up and began calling more names. Sasuke was fixed on the girl, Rain. He couldn't help, but notice her skill from somewhere. Himself.

"Hey, Sasuke! Did we miss anything," Sakura yelled while running toward the tree that he was in. Sakuya looked back at Rain to see her looking at him. He jumped down from shock. He looked back at Sakura and ran off. Sakura looked at Rain to see her smirking. "Who's she," she asked barely above a whisper. Naruto came up to her and asked, "Did we...miss anything?" Sakura shrugged and just kept looking at Rain.

Later that night, the school threw a party for their new recruits. Surprisingly, only ten out of fifty made it. Sasuke looked down the table to see Rain, by herself. He decided to leave her be. Sometimes he wanted to be alone, too. She turned and looked at him. They looked at each other for a second, but turned back around. Sasuke exused himself and passed her. He could feel her eyes on him. He turned around to find her with a smirk. He smirked back and walked to his headquarters.

"Hey, man! Hang on!" He turned around to see Rain! "What about a warm welcome, huh," she asked. All he said was, "Hmm." Rain frowned and said, "Fine, then. I don't like you, either. I guess we'll just have to steer clear of each other." She turned around to go back to her seat. He couldn't believe what she just theorized. "Wait," he said. The word popped out without him even being conscious of it. "What," she asked, still turned around. "I hope you have a nice stay," he said while turning around. "I hope that you're having one. Thanks!" He didn't turn around. Especially, since he felt a blush coming upon his cheeks. He brushed passed Sakura, but was only thinking about Rain. Rain was walking right behind him, but he didn't know it at all.

As Sasuke opened the door, he finally heard her speak. "Uchiha Sasuke..." He turned around instinctively, ready to spar. "Oh, it's you," he said. She nodded and asked, "Why did you have to say that so resentful?" She looked as if close to tears. Sasuke knew that look. He had the very same look when he found out that all of the Uchiha clan was killed. Except for...Itachi. "I'm...sorry," Sasuke choked out. "I'm always like that." Rain looked at him. He actually saw tears in her eyes. "Why would you cry over such a stupid thing like people being resentful," Sasuke asked coldly. "I've gone through it all of my life. It starts to get on my nerves. I just start crying whenever I think that all hope is gone," she replied. Sasuke nodded and replied, "I understand. Do...you want to...come in?" Rain looked at him with shock. She smiled as she saw his cheeks turn a light pink. She nodded and passed him to go inside. Sasuke watched her go in and sit on a couch. He walked in and closed the door behind him.

"So? Why are you here," Sasuke asked. Rain looked at the window and said, "I'm...not really sure anymore. I came here at first for revenge. But now, maybe I just want to prove myself. I'm always bringing myself down. I just wanted to show myself that I am good for something." Sasuke looked at her with shock. "Revenge?" "Yeah. My clan and my friends from other clans were killed by my exboyfriend, Itachi." Sasuke asked her how old she was now. "I'm fifteen." Sasuke couldn't believe that he was talking to a girl that went out with his own brother! It couldn't be! She replied after noticing the silence and his shock, "That's why I've been hanging out with you, to tell you the truth. Now I know, though, that you're a great person. Better that that Itachi." He still didn't say anything. "Well, then I'll leave. Maybe it's something you need to deal with yourself. But Sasuke.." She rose. "...I wouldn't trade anything for the conversation and laughter that we just had. I hope that you know that." She passed Sasuke to get to the door, but she felt his hand grasp tightly around her wrist. She could tell from his trembling that he was frightened. "Don't go, Rain. I don't need to be alone anymore. I...don't want...to be," he said letting go of her wrist. She turned around and said, "Sometimes you have to be alone." His head was down with his hair covering his eyes. She replied out of guilt, "But this isn't one of those times." He looked up and she saw his eyes turning a bit red. She got closer and his eyes turned back to normal. "I wouldn't take this back, even if you wanted me to," she said before hugging him. "You don't diserve this. Nobody does." Sasuke was shocked as his own arms embraced her waist in the hug. "Don't you ever make me feel so guilty again, okay," she said gently, but jokingly. He chuckled and said, "Hey, I got a hug, didn't I?" Rain chuckled herself. She began to pull away, but Sasuke couldn't bring himself to let her go. He couldn't let her go. He didn't want to lose her, too. He almost did before.
