SECOND CHAP. IS UP!! have fun reading it!

'What the hell?!' Sakura saw a flash of orange, and looked over to see Naruto sliding in the other side of the booth. "H-hey guys." She was still confused to why they were sitting near her.

"Hey Sakura!" Naruto chirped. "What's that?" He tried looking at the folder that she had open, but she quickly closed it.

"Nothing for you to look at." Sakura put it back in her bag and looked back up to meet confused looks. "I keep everything privet. I'm a doctor yah know."

"Oh yeah! That's pretty cool." Kiba leaned back in his chair and waved to his other friends that were sitting in a booth, 2 over.

There was another ding, and Sakura looked to see who was coming in. There at the doorway, stood a boy, Sakura's age. He had blood red hair and dark eyes, but she could see his bright green/jade eyes scanning for his friends. Sakura almost lost her breath when she saw him. He had dark blue baggy jeans with a dark red hoodie. As he walked to the back of the small cafe, it looked like he was walking on water.

"Oi... Sakura?" Naruto waved his hand in front of her face. Kiba just sat there with the biggest smiled ever. "Sakura? You alright?"

"Huh..? Oh yeah, I'm fine. Sorry." Sakura could feel a blush settling on her pale cheeks.

"It's fine." Kiba chuckled. Sakura gave him a weird look. "Oh, Uh, I just remembered something stupid Naruto did and, uh, it was funny." Kiba lied, with a big smile on his face.

"Do tell." Sakura turned in her seat to fully face him. Kiba glanced at Naruto for help.

"This makes us friends, right?" Naruto said quickly. Sakura's face lit up as she looked from one to the other.

"Omg! It does!" Sakura really never had friends. Sasori was her first ever. She was so happy that Naruto had just said that. "I have to go call Sasori about what's happened today!" Sakura said happily and climbed over Kiba, not waiting for him to get up. He didn't mind, but didn't want her to go. As Sakura tried to hurry, she tripped over Naruto's foot and started to fall. She waited to make contact with the cold tile, but it never came. Instead, there was a bunch of gasps. Sakura opened her eyes to meet a pair of dark lined green ones, like her own. The boy set her back on her feet and left the cafe, without a word.

"Sakura! Are you ok?" Naruto spun her around to face him. His hands were cold as ice on her bare shoulders.

"Y-yeah I-I'm fine." Sakura said and looked down. 'Could I have done anything more embarrassing? God I'm a retard!' Sakura thought. She was always falling at the worst times.

"Sakura, meet our family." Kiba put his arm around her shoulders and pointed to the people as he named them off. "That's Ino." He pointed to the girl with her blond hair in a high pony tail. "Shikamaru is pineapple head over there. That's Tamari." Kiba pointed to the blond girl with her hair in 4 pony tails on the back of her head. "Neji and Ten-Ten." He pointed to the boy with long black hair and the girl with her light brown hair in two buns. "And sock head over there, that's Kankuro."

"Watch it, Kiba." Kankuro warned.

"Yeah Yeah. And she's Hinata." The last girl Kiba pointed to was the girl with long blue hair and big pale eyes.

"H-hi." Sakura waved. "I-I'm Sakura." She said shyly.

Ino was the first to talk. "Hi!" She grabbed Sakura's arm and pulled her to sit next to her. "I love your hair!" Ino played with a piece of Sakura's long pink hair.

"Uh, Thanks. But that's not the reaction I usually get when people see my hair." Sakura smiled warmly, and then looked down at the table.
"Really? I wonder why." Kankuro mumbled. Tamari hit him over the head and smiled at Sakura.

"Don't mind my brother. He's an idiot." She smacked him again and looked at Shikamaru that was sleeping next to her. "Shikamaru's actually really smart. He just never awake to show it." She jammed her elbow into his side and he woke up.

"What? Oh, Hi." He said then put his head on the table and fell back asleep.
Sakura giggled and looked around at everyone. "W-who was that?" Sakura asked and glanced up at Kiba, before returning her gaze to the table.
Naruto smiled. "Oh, that was just Gaara." Sakura felt a small blush come to her cheeks when she remembered how he caught her. 'Gaara...'
Hey, didn't you need to go home for something?" Kiba asked looking down at Sakura. She seemed to be in a rush when she first said it.

"Oh, yeah!" Sakura quickly stood up and started walking towards the door, she glanced over her shoulder to see everyone walking behind her. "Oh, you're not coming back?" Sakura stopped to face them.

"We're coming with you, silly!" Ino grabbed her arm and they both walked out of the small cafe, with their arms linked.

Neji walked over to Sakura's car and lifted her hood. "Nice car." He said inspecting the engin.

"Yeah. My dad put his heart and soul into making this car." Sakura smiled and watched him. "He left it to me in his will. It's my baby."
"Come on, Neji. Let's go." Ten-Ten called putting a helmet on. Neji grabbed his helmet and got on the bike, with Ten-Ten behind him. Sakura smiled and shut her hood before climbing into her car. She revved the engin and peeled out.

Naruto and Kiba were on both sides of her when they stopped at a red light. The others stayed behind her. Sakura smiled and revved her engin, looking at them. They both did the same and Sakura laughed. "I'm going to smoke your ASSES!" She yelled to them out her window. As soon as the light was green, she took off. Both boys stayed at her sides at the beginning. Sakura glanced at her mirror to see the others trying to catch up. She smiled and shifted gears, and speed ahead of them. Sakura laughed as she could see them falling behind. She took and sharp turn and slammed her breaks. She had to swerve to miss hitting something in the road. Her car spun around on the pavement and she came to a stop, facing the way she just came from. She saw Naruto and Kiba hurrying over to her car, throwing their helmets to the ground.

"SAKURA!" Naruto yelled. "Are you ok?!" Sakura couldn't speak. She shook her head as she suddenly felt calm and safe.

"Naruto! Come here!" Kiba tapped whatever was in the road with his foot. "This is bad!" Naruto ran over to him, as the others appeared and got off their bikes. Ino ran over to Sakura as she was getting out of her car.

"Damn." Naruto pushed the dead body with is foot. "Sakura! Go back over near the car." Naruto tried to hind the body, by standing in her way.

"I'm a damn doctor!" She said and pushed past him. Sakura got on her knees and checked for a pulse. Then she saw the teeth marks on the man's neck. "What the hell?" She ran her finger over the bite marks. "It must have been that dog." She whispered. She didn't see her friends glance at each other.

"What dog?" Tamari asked when Sakura stood back up.

"My friend got bit by a dog a few days ago, right around here. He said it was like 6 or 7 feet tall, and could stand on its hind legs." Sakura ran back to her car and grabbed her phone. She diled 911 and told them where they were.

"We need to leave, now." Ino said clutching her head. "Sakura! Get in your car, we're going."

"What? I have to wait till the police get here!" Sakura grabbed some white gloves, but was pushed into her car. Kiba sat in the driver's seat and started the car.

"TenTen, take my bike." He said and started driving away.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Sakura said and looked back. "We need to stay till they get here!" She looked back at him and punched his shoulder. "Stop my car... NOW!" She didn't yell but she talked harshly.

"Buckle up. This is going to be bumpy." Kiba speed up as he could see red lights from behind the bikes that were following his car. "Where do you live?"

"On North Street." Sakura sighed and buckled her seat belt. "Please tell me what's going on." Sakura said as she unlocked the door to her apartment. She was the only one that lived on the bottom level, though she didn't complain.

"It was a trap." Ino said. She was the first to walk in behind Sakura. "Whatever did that was still hungry."

"Ok. Well, this is my ho- NO! Please don't touch that!" Sakura ran over to Kankuro and grabbed her locket from him. "It's very dear to me." She said when she got wierd looks from everyone. "I'm going to go call my friend. Feel free to have anything you want out of the fridge." Sakura went into her bedroom and placed the locket down on her nightstand before grabbing the phone. She had a message, so she listened to it.

"Hey Sakura, It's me." Sasori's voice came from the box, making her smile. "I'm at my house right now, but ah..." There was a small pause before he continued. "I kind of burnt it down." He laughed nervously. Sakura giggled and kept listening. "I was hoping to see if you had any extra room for a guest for awhile. Um, give me a call. Later."

Sakura laughed and called him back. His machine picked up. "Hey Sasori. Yeah, I have room. Come on over, I can't wait to talk to you! See you later!" Sakura hung up as a shatter noise rang through her apartment.
Back in the living room...

"Nice job, Kankuro!" Tamari hissed at her younger brother. "Never can keep your hands to yourself, can you?!"

Kankuro was looking at the floor, where the shattered glass clock lay. "Sorry." He laughed nervously.

"I'll distract her, clean it up!" Ino hurried to Sakura's opening door and pushed her back in, following her.

"Here, use this!" Hinata threw a piece of cardboard and a broom to Kankuro.

In Sakura's room...

"You should go shopping with me on Saturday!" Ino said happily and sat next to Sakura on her bed. "I love to shop!" It was true. That was Ino' favorite thing to do.

Sakura giggled and smiled at her new friend. "Yeah, that would be great. We could hang out at the mall all day!" Shopping was Sakura's favorite thing to do, too.

"I like you. You're my kind of girl." Ino laughed and grabbed Sakura's hand. She hoped they were done cleaning that clock up. She opened the door to show everyone sitting on the floor or couch. "Ready to go?"

"I guess." Naruto stood up and stretched. Sakura looked at all of them with a smile. She stopped at Kankuro, who seemed to avoided her gaze. He looked really nervous for some reason.

"I'll see you Saturday." Ino hugged her and headed out the door after the others. "Meet me at the cafe and we can go together in your car!" She called over her shoulder, before shutting the door.

'I wonder what Kankuro was up to... Oh well.' Sakura thought as she walked over to her fridge. A small rap at the door made her jump. "Coming!" She called out. Sakura made way to the door and opened it. She lost her breath when she saw the red head from the cafe... Gaara. "Umm, hi. You must be Gaara, right?" The red head just walked past her into her room, without a word.

"I've come to warn you... About your guest." His voice rang threw her ears like silk slipping over her small frame.

"What do you mean...? Sasori?" Sakura picked up a stray book and put it back in its place on her book shelf. "He's harmless. We've been friends for a few weeks now. Can I get you something to drink?" Sakura started walking to her kitchen, but as she passed Gaara, her hand brushed his. "Sorry..." Sakura spun around when she heard a hiss. Gaara was standing on the other side of the room... Glaring at her.

"Don't make him mad. You've been warned." Gaara went to the door and slammed it shut behind him.

"He's a doll." Sakura said sarcastically and grabbed her coke off the counter. She sat down on the couch and flipped on her plasma TV. a few minutes later there was another knock at the door, and Sakura walked over to it. 'When did I lock this?' She thought as she undid the locks and opened it to show Sasori. "AH!" She jumped at him and gave him a hug.

"It's nice to see you to, Sakura." Sasori laughed and hugged her back. "Thanks for letting me stay with you."

"It's no problem." Sakura shut the door behind them and showed Sasori to the guest room, where he would be sleeping. "Maybe I won't be so lonely." She smiled and left him to unpack.

Once Sasori was done, he came out and sat on the couch with Sakura. They talked about how he ended up burning down his house and how his leg was for a few hours before Sakura glanced at the glass clock... "Where the hell is my clock?" Sakura stood up and walked over to the shelf where her clock was. "OW!" Sakura grabbed her bare foot and pulled a small piece of glass out of the bottom of her foot. "I'm going to kill him!" Sakura said remembering Kankuro's face.

"Who?" Sasori was standing next to Sakura and looking at her foot.

"My friend, Kankuro." Sakura sighed and put her foot back down. "He and his family were here earlier... And this is why he wouldn't even look at me!" She held up the glass in Sasori's face. "He broke my clock!" Sakura grit her teeth and looked at the clock in the kitchen. "Its 11:30. I'm going to head to bed. Night." Sakura said before shutting her door.

Her pink hair whipped her face as she raced through the woods. The wolf dead on her heals. Sakura's breath was shown in clouds that flew out of her mouth. She was breathing heavily as she tried to out run the beast, but it was too fast. A single bolt of lightning was shown in the sky, lighting up the deadly dark woods. But it was too late; Sakura tripped over a root and fell to the ground.
The girl scrambled to get up on her feet, but the mud made from the rain that was beating down on her cold body, caused her to lose her footing and fall again. Sakura's head whipped around and looked into bright yellow eyes that belonged to the wolf.

Sakura let out an ear piercing scream as the dog lunged at her, but never made contact, Sakura saw a flash of red before a rock hit her head, and everything was black...

Sakura woke with a start. She was breathing hard, and a thick layer of sweat covered her shaking body. She glanced around her room and saw that it was only 2:30. She let out a shaky sigh and lay back down on her bed. Sakura hugged a pillow to her chest and let her tears come from her eyes. She could hear yelling coming from the guest room, and her first thought was, 'Mom dad? There hom-no... it's just Sasori.' She sighed.

Unwillingly, Sakura stood up out of her warm bed, and let her feet come in contact with the freezing wooden floor. She slowly made her way to her bedroom door and opened it. Sakura stood there, looking at Sasori's door. He was yelling at someone. Sakura made her way to his door and silently opened it. Sasori stood in the middle of the room yelling at his phone.

"...YOU DON'T FUCKING OWN ME! I DON'T HAVE TO DO A DAMN THING YOU SAY!" As he continued on yelling, he didn't see Sakura fully open his door. Finally, he flipped his phone shut, and chucked his cell at the wall. Sasori grabbed his head and fell to one knee.

"Sasori?" Sakura took a step into the room, but stopped when she saw him look at her. His eyes were turning yellow, like the ones in her dreams.

"Sakura... Get out." Sasori screamed as pain shot threw his head again. "Run." But the frightened girl didn't move.

Sasori's skin started to peel off his body, and turned to ashes as it hit the floor. Dark red hair replaced the skin. He screamed even louder, as his face started to take the shape of that of a dogs. Sakura could hear bone's snapping, being separated to form his wolf like chest and legs. Sakura's feet were glued to the floor. As hard as she tried, she couldn't move. There was a low growling sound coming from Sasori's transformed throat. Sakura took a step back, but regretted doing it as soon as she did. The wolf head snapped around and looked her strait in the eye.

Sakura slowly backed up, as the wolf came closer. Drool dripped from Sasori's mouth, as his eyes looked at his meal. Sakura's heart was literally in her throat. She spun around and ran towards the door, only to have her back sliced from powerful claws, before she made it halfway through her living room. Sakura screamed and looked up at the wolf as it was about to attack again. But no pain came, instead, a pair of arms wrapped around her, and a flash of brown was seen before the wolf was smacked to the side.

Kiba hissed at Sasori and told Naruto to get Sakura out of here. Naruto pulled her into the hall, and shielded her with his body, pushing her against the wall. A wave of comfort and happiness washed over Sakura, as Naruto held her close to his body. Kiba kept smacking Sasori to the side, every time he attacked. Finally, Kiba knocked him out, and his normal boy form came back to his body. The hair fell to the floor and turned to ashes. Kiba looked around, and kicked mentally kicked himself for killing Sakura's apartment.

"She alright?" Kiba was a bit out of breath when he came out of Sakura's doorway that was now just a fallen door, with a muddy boot print on it.

"Yeah." Naruto move to the side to show a shaking Sakura. She took one look at all of the blood on Kiba, and fainted. Naruto sighed and picked her up into his arms. "I knew that was going to happen."

"I thought she was a doctor." Kiba wiped some blood from his brow and followed Naruto down the hall. "Aren't they supposed to be able to stand that crap?"

"I thought so, too."

"Where are we taking her exactly?" Kiba stopped and gave Naruto a confused look.

"We should probably take her home, so someone can explain to her what happened." Naruto grabbed the extra helmet and carefully placed it over Sakura's head. "I'll carry her." He put his own on and sat on his orange flamed bike, with Sakura in front of him, so he could make sure she didn't fall.

"Be careful of her back." Kiba gently pulled the slashed cloth to show the deep slash wounds. "Looks like he caught her pretty deep."

"What are we going to do with him?" Naruto moved Sakura so he could get to the handle bars better.

"He'll wake up in about an hour." Kiba had his helmet on and flung his leg over his black bike with a flaming skull going down both sides. "He won't remember anything. That's how all pups are." And with that, they both drove off into the rising sun.

Sakura woke to a stinging felling coming from her back. She was lying on her stomach on a queen size bed. She slowly opened her eyes, only to have them shut from the sunlight coming from the windows. Again she opened them, and this time let them stay open to look around. The room was wallpapered with light and dark purple flowers that went in a straight line down to the floor. And a dark purple fuzzy carpet. She tried to sit up, and the pain in her back got worse. That's when she noticed that she was shirtless, but had been wrapped with bandages that went from her chest down to her belly button. But she guessed that it was there for her back.

Sakura looked around the room more closely, and stood up. She was alone, and wanted to take a shower and put a shirt on. But when she found her shirt, she saw that it was slashed open in the back. That's when all the memory's from the night before hit her. Sakura softly sat back down on the purple covered bed and cried into her ripped shirt.

"What's wrong?" A voice from the end of the bed scared Sakura so bad she fell on the floor with a loud 'thud!' She looked up to see Ino looking down at her with a worried expression. "Are you ok?"

"Where'd you come from?!" Sakura lifted herself off the floor and back onto the bed.

"I was here the whole time." Sakura gave a questioning glance before she pointed to the slightly open door. "I was in the bathroom." Ino looked at her sadly and scooted closer placing her hand on Sakura's back. "Oh, dear. The stitches came open. Hold still so I can fix them." Sakura sucked in her breath as she felt a needle piercing into her skin. After Ino re-stitched her, Sakura felt her rubbing something on it that felt like jelly, but it was warm.

OUCH! that must have hurt.. What will happen next? And who are these people, REALLY?!
