+++++++++++ Chapter 1: A regular life, Not ++++++++++

******** Sakura's pov *************

"NO!" I screamed jolting up in my bed.

"Sakura!" My door swung open to reveal my mother.

" Honey! Are you ok?" She asked softly. I sobbed and shook my head. I pulled my knees to my chest and embraced them letting go of another sob. My mother sat down and hugged me. I continued to sob and leaned into her.

+++++++ 25 minutes later +++++++++

I sighed and my eyes traced the ceiling as I laid silently on my bed.

"Sakura! Honey, we need to get to school. Get up and get going I will let you go late." My mother yelled from down stairs. I sat up and made my way to my dressers. I pulled out random clothes and walked to the bathroom. I changed into the clothes and brushed my hair. I looked at myself in the mirror. I looked like shit. But I didn't care. My life was horrible.

I walked out and walked down stairs. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a peach. I bit into it as I walked to the door. I put on my shoes and looked up to see my mother rushing out of the living room. She opened the door and ushered me out. I grabbed my backpack that was sitting by the door and walked out. I got into the passenger seat and buckled my seatbelt. I sighed and stared out the window as my mother drove to school.

I had once again been awoken by a nightmare. They started about a year ago. My life was good. Well that is until I had an in counter with a vampire. Yeah I know vampires down exist. Oh but you are wrong! They are very real. I had an in counter and I came out alive. Why? Because I was saved by a beautiful red and white wolf.

I had been taking a stroll through the forest not too far from my house when a man jumped out of nowhere and tried to grab me. I freaked out and started running. He was fast! I couldn't get away. He was close to biting me when he was stopped by a wolf. I had more in counters after that and each time I was saved by that wolf but sometimes there where others. A brown wolf with purple tints in his hair and a female wolf with dirty blond hair fir. My life really changed when we had three new students at my school. Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro. After getting to know them I found out they were the wolves that saved me! Yes werewolves. Those are real too. But that doesn't explain the nightmares, does it? Well the night mares are about the very last day a saw the wolves. Temari, Gaara, Kankuro, and I all went on a road trip so I could meet the leader of their pack. While I was meeting him the pack was attacked by vampires. I was immediately take away and protected. I was knocked unconscious and I haven't seen them since, a whole year I haven't seen them.

Since the attack happened I convinced my mom to move and now I am here. Kolstine High. It was a regular school and my life was suppose to be regular. No, I am haunted by memories of that last day. After about a week of the school I had made a good amount of friends but , in a way, they all reminded me of that last day and how I was useless. I couldn't help at all. I don't even know if any of them are alive! My mark doesn't help either. Oh yes I forgot to mention that part. Well the werewolves and Vampires are a secret race and humans are not supposed to know about them. When I found out about Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro being werewolves I had two choices. I was either to be killed or I was to be marked. Yes it is a mating mark, well that's what they call it. I am, well was, able to keep in contact with Gaara and he was able to know where I was at all times. But it doesn't work anymore! I have tried so many times to talk to him but I get no response.

Anyways everyone at my school just reminded me of how I was weak and useless. Well I got tired of that and decided to do something about it. I searched around and found a club. They call themselves the Kahona leaf ninjas. I went in a watched for a day and it was exactly what I was looking for. It is just a club of humans learning how to control, what they call, Chakra. Basically it is teaching self defence and attacking with ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu. It is very difficult to explain. It is something that u basically just do. I call us humans with benefits. My mother, however, knows nothing about this.

"Have a good day at school, honey." My mother said. I nodded and got out of the car. I closed the door and she drove away. I sighed and walked through the yard to the huge double doors that lead into a long hall of lockers. I walked to mine to find my friend Tasha standing there talking to her boyfriend Jay. I smiled they where the cutest couple in the school. They started dating a week after I got there and guess what? I was the one who brought it on. Tasha was on the cheer squad and Jay was the School Quarterback. Tasha never thought she would be able to get his attention but I told her otherwise.

+*+*+*+ Flash Back *+*+*+

"Sakura, just leave it alone! He won't notice me. He only has eyes for Kiana." Tasha said staring at the floor . I groaned and rolled. My eyes.

"Tasha you have the same chance that Kiana does. Everyone does." I answered. She shook her head.

"No….. he doesn't even know I exist. I am to ugly." My jaw dropped. She really thinks low of herself. I put my finger under her chin and lifted it so she could look at me.

"You. Are. Not. Ugly. Don't you dare say that again." I growled. She shuttered

" You are most beautiful girl with the best personality. You aren't even trying so why should it happen? You won't get what you want if you don't push for it." She slowly nodded.

"Where do I start?" She asked.

"Start by talking to him. Let him get to know you as a person." I said.

"What if he doesn't like me as a person?" She asked.

"Then he is and idiot. He is and idiot who is missing out on so much." I said.

*+*+*+* End of Flash Back *+*+*+*

The funny part is how she got the chance to talk to him. She was at the top of a cheer stunt, a liberty I believe it was called, and the basers lost her foot and she fell. She ended up hurting herself pretty bad and Jay was the one to carry her off the field. He ended up staying in the nurse's office talking to her for hours.

"Sakura!" Tasha beamed. I smiled and waved. I walked over and opened my locker.

"How are you, Sakura?" Jay asked. I smiled.

"I am good. How are you, Tasha, Jay?" I asked pulling out my books for first period.

"Good." She both said. I smiled. Of course they are.

+++++++++++++ End of the Day, At the club+++++++++++

"Alright. Karin and Sakura vs. Richard and Blake." Our sensei bellowed. Karin and I smiled at each other and made our way to the arena. I stood on our side and the boys on the other. They smirked.

"This will be over fast." Richard snickered. My eyes narrowed. Richard and Blake are the two newest members of the club. I will admit they are good but they don't know what they are up against. They don't know what we can do and Karin and I are a real kick ass team.

"Haha, I know I won't have to break a sweat." Blake said. I growled. I will not let them call me weak. Not after all I have done to get this far. I looked at Karin and she nodded. We had a plan already…..kinda. We usually do that to make people think we have a plan and go with whatever happens.

"and BATTLE!" Sensei howled. Karin disappears instantly emitting a soft mist. I focused on my fist and slammed it to the ground as the boys sprinted toward me. The ground groaned as it was torn to shreads. Blake and Richard where thrown back into the wall. Blake stood and stared stunned at the mess as the dust settled. Richard, who took most of the hit, groaned and stood. His eyes flashed from the torn up ground, to me, and back.

"You did that!" he said stunned.

"Yes. Would you like me to demonstrate again?" I asked smirking.

"Nah. We don't want to ruin the battle field too much." Karin said appearing next to Blake. She did a round house kick right to his stomach, sending him flying into the wall around us. Richard blinked and lashed out at her. She jumped back smirking. My eyes landed on Blake, who stood and stared at me.

"Take a picture it will last longer." I snapped. He snorted and bounded toward me. I slid into my battle stance and waited. He sent a much to my face, which I caught, and I kicked him in the stomach. He doubled over. I shifted my weight so my left leg and arm balanced me and my right leg shot out and kicked him in the chin. He was sent flying into the air. I pushed chakra to my legs and leaped up after him. I appeared behind him and flipped kicking him in the head, sending him tumbling to the ground. He slammed to the ground and I delivered one last kick to his stomach. He gasped and a small amount of blood flew out of his mouth. I distanced myself and waited for him to get up. Nothing, he did stand. I sighed.

"That was way too easy." I grumbled. A medic appeared next to him and proceeded to tending to his wounds. I turned to see Karin get punched in the face. I took a step and she shook her head. I sighed and waited. She didn't want me to help so I wasn't going to unless I was really needed. I watched as she struggled to stand. She lunched at him and they engaged in a taijustu fight of dodging and punching. He flipped back and did some hands signs. A column of wood shot out from the ground and wrapped around her. She gasped and closed her eyes. Her face twisted in a combination of pain and concentration. Richard's eye widened as he froze. Karin had caught him in a chakra string bind.

"Now! Sakura!" Karin screeched, never opening her eyes. I nodded and leaped into the air. I quickly did hand signs and spun. Razor sharp cherry blossom petals erupted from around me and severally cut Richard. He screamed in pain and tumbled to the ground. I stopped spinning and gracefully landed. Karin let out a sigh of relief and slid to her knees. Two medics appeared next to the two and started tending to their wounds. I smiled and send Karin a thumbs up. She smiled. We had won the fight.

A/N: Hey everyone! Sorry it took me so long to update. I will admit I don't like the typing part of the process. So it takes me a long time to get myself to type my chapters.

Anyway I hope you like the chapter :)
