Chapter 2. Enjoy

School had ended an hour ago and Sakura had refused Hinata's offer for a ride. Walking gave her the time to think and enjoy her time without being questioned about how she was feeling every five minutes. She had decided she would visit her parents as well. She walked through the cemetery with no difficulty in finding the tombstones that read Kushina and Minato Namikaze.

Thousands of memories of her parents began flashing through her mind, Sakura began to smile as she remembered her parents beautiful smiles and all the laughs she used to have with them. She sat down near the graves and began writing in her journal. She began describing how she had felt throughout the entire day, when she began to notice that fog seemed to be appearing out of nowhere. The day had been sunny and no clouds had seemed visible. As Sakura got up, she looked around to see if anyone else was around but wasn't able to make out anything. She noticed a figure seemed to be hiding behind a tombstone, but she couldn't see clearly who it was.

The sudden caw of a crow caused Sakura to step back in fear for a sudden. Sakura spotted a crow standing near one of the tombstones. She tried to scare the crow away but it seemed intent on staying exactly where it was and continued cawing.

'This is definitely freaky,' Sakura thought as she began to hurriedly walk away.

Sakura couldn't help but feel as though someone was watching her. She quickened her pace and began to run towards the exit, but tripped on the root of a tree.

'Shit!' Sakura cursed as she got up. She wasn't looking where she was headed and almost bumped into someone. That someone was none other than Sasuke Uchiha.

" Whoa, are you okay?" Sasuke asked. "Uh, were you following me?" Sakura asked breathing heavily.

"No, I uh, just…saw you fall." Sasuke calmly answered.

"Yeah sure, and you just happened to be hanging out at the cemetery?" Sakura asked suspiciously.

"Well I'm kinda visiting, you see I have family here," Sasuke answered. This caused Sakura to feel rather guilty for quickly assuming Sasuke would be following her.

"Wow Im so rude, sorry…it's just the fog, you see, and then this bird... well its sort of hard to explain…" Sakura quickly breathed out. Noticing she was rambling, Sakura quickly changed the subject and began introducing herself, "Hi I'm Sakura!"

"I'm Sasuke" he replied. "I know," Sakura began, "we have history together."

"And English and French," Sasuke added as he took out a leaf from Sakura's hair.

"Thanks and nice ring," She said as she noticed the intricate and beautiful ring Sasuke had on his right hand. Sasuke began to explain that the ring was a family heirloom and he felt somewhat attached to it. Sakura smiled as he explained the significance and then noticed Sasuke's expression changed.

"Did you hurt yourself?" He asked.

"Hmm?" Sakura asked a bit surprised and confused with the question. Sasuke repeated himself and then Sakura seemed to remember her fall.

"Oh I don't know let me check." She said as she kneeled down to check her ankle.

As she lifted her jeans she noticed she was bleeding from a cut.

"Wow that is not pretty!" She said half amused. When she looked up to see Sasuke she noticed he had turned around. "Are you okay?" she asked.

"You should head home. Take care of that," He ignored her question and simply told her as he tried to regain control of himself. The sight of the blood had caused his hunger to grow and his eyes began bleed red. He needed to get out of there before anything worse happened.

"Oh its nothing really," Sakura said completely ignoring the inner struggle Sasuke was having. She began to look at her wound again and rolled down her jeans carefully. Once she looked up, she had noticed he was gone.

'Strange,' she thought puzzled, 'he probably gets sick seeing blood.' Sakura began making her way towards the exit. She needed to get home before her aunt worried about her.
