When Ino Yamanaka finds an old dusty book while doing inventory at her school's library, she finds out all kinds of new things about her new town. SaiIno, SasuSaku, KibaTen, Slight NaruHina, ShikaTema, GaaMatsu, SuiKarin

At this point, I was WAY creeped out. I was important to whatever group wrote this book, and apparently this Sai person was some sort of protector, who had some sort of orders never to leave my side. I decided to read one chapter a day and said to Sai, who at this point was sitting at my desk doing his homework,
"Who are you?"
"I'm Sai. I'm your protector."
"I got that. Tell me more about yourself."
"You'll figure it out. There's a whole section on every protector we have in there somewhere. Or, at least that's what Sakura told me." He said, sharpening his pencil and turning back to his Algebra 2 book.
"You know the author of this book?"
"Of course I do. She's the main reason I'm here. She tells us protectors who to go to."
"I had no idea."
"Neither did I. Now keep reading. We'll talk later."
"O-okay." I said, picking up the book and opening it up to the fifth page. -
Chapter 1: Don't Trust Anybody; Especially Men
There is one thing you should know in this town. Don't make connections. The only person you can trust is your protector. She/he is the only person that you can trust not to betray you. I didn't even know who I until he told me! (But that will not be covered until the next chapter). The point is, you can't trust anybody. I had a group of very close friends. Their names were Hinata Hyuuga, Karin Uzumaki, Temari no Sabaku, Tenten and Matsuri no Sabaku. Each chapter will pretty much be covering my adventures with each girl listed and my guardian, Sasuke Uchiha. This chapter about not trusting anybody is about Hinata-chan.
For about three years, Hinata was dating a boy named Naruto Uzumaki. He was Karin's cousin, and he and Hinata were bipolar opposites. She was pasty, thin and hated the outdoors, but he was tan, buff and was on all of our school's sports teams. He hung out with a group of equally outdoorsy people named Kiba, Lee, Kankuro, Tenten (who was going out with Kiba), and Chouji, who's last names I've forgotten over the years. They were on the top of the popular scale, tied with another group of kids that included Gaara no Sabaku, Temari no Sabaku, Shikamaru Nara (who was going out with Temari), Sasuke Uchiha, Sai,-
My eyes opened as I saw Sai's name on the list. I knew I shouldn't freak, I did already know that he was my protector or whatever, but I was still surprised. -
Suigetsu Hozuki, Karin Uzumaki, Matsuri no Sabaku (who was going out with Gaara), and Neji Hyuuga (who was Hinata's cousin).
There were a lot more in Hinata's group then in Naruto's, and it was always a pain that Hinata and Naruto were going out. I thought Naruto was a great guy, being student body president, really funny and all, but when I was with him and Hinata, something just seemed... off.
More about pains, Hinata was always trying to hook me up with guys in her "circle." It started when Hinata realized that I didn't have a boyfriend. She called a meeting with all the other girls in her group and decided I needed a BF, and pronto. "I really don't think having a boyfriend is going to make my life better." I told Hinata after she tried to set me up with every guy in her group. After a while, I agreed to go out with some guy named Sasuke because I wanted her off my back. She said we were going to double with her and Naruto. This is where we start not trusting people.
Hinata came over to my house that night to help me find something good to wear, since this was a fancy date at a REALLY nice restaurant. She came over right after school and we went shopping. She bought me a nice dress, some cute shoes, made me put them on and wear them out of the store, and then we went and got our hair, makeup, and nails done. "Umm, Hinata?"
"Yeah?"
"Are you sure that this is a good idea? I mean, I don't know this guy, and Naruto really doesn't seem like somebody who'd like a restaurant like this."
"Quit your bitching, Sakura-chan! Naruto's fine with it and Sasuke's a really fancy guy! This is the perfect double date!" I sighed and went back to reading my magazine. -
"When was this written?" I asked Sai, who at this point was done with his homework and was now playing on his iPhone. "What do you mean?"
"She's reading a magazine and going to salons, but this was written in 1992. How is that possible?"
"You act like everything cool was invented in the 2000's. That's just plain naive." I scowled at him and went back to reading. -
When we were done, Hinata and I went back to my house and waited for Naruto and Sasuke. They got to my house at about 4:45. I opened the door and saw the ever-tan Naruto standing next to a boy I'd never seen before. He was tall, pale, and had black eyes that I'm pretty sure looked into your soul. He didn't smile when I said hello, I got a small wave and a quiet hello and it was obvious Hinata had forced him to be here. Naruto gave us a huge smile and walked inside saying,
"Wow Sakura, you look amazing! You should be lucky Sasuke!" Naruto called over his shoulder to the boy just coming in. I looked at him and our eyes locked for a split second.
"You're Sakura Haruno?"
"Yes." He held out his hand.
"I'm Sasuke Uchiha. I just moved here a few months ago." I smiled and shook his outstretched hand.
"It's nice to meet you! I've lived here my whole life." I said.
"Are Naruto-kun and Sasuke-san there yet?" Hinata called from upstairs.
"We're waiting for you!" Naruto screamed up the wooden staircase to Hinata. The girl upstairs screamed and said,
"I'll be down in a few minutes!" A few minutes later, Hinata came running downstairs, makeup bag in hand and said,
"Let's go!"
"Are you sure? We can wait if you need to-"
"Shut up Naruto-kun. I can put on makeup anywhere." She said, opening the front door. We all walked outside and Naruto put his arm over Hinata's shoulders and said,
"You look great without makeup on baby." Hinata blushed and giggled like a schoolgirl, but said,
"I need my makeup."
"No you don't."
"Yes I do." Realizing he was never going to win the argument, he opened up the passenger door of the car and let Hinata in. She immediately pulled out the mirror and started putting on foundation and eyeliner. Sasuke opened my door in the back seat and I climbed in. He sat down next to me and I said,
"Why did your parents move to a creepy place like here? It barely has sunshine, and it rains at least one day every week. My parents didn't want me to grow up here, but my dad's in a place where he can't quit, so we stay here."
"My mom and dad said that we had to move here for mom's work."
"What does your mom do?"
"She's umm, she's a lawyer. I think. I don't really pay much attention to my parent's jobs. They bore me."
"Oh. So, Sasuke means warrior, right? Are you good at fighting?" He shrugged.
"I'm okay, I guess."
"Who are you kidding?" Naruto screamed from the front.
"Sasuke's he best guy in the school fight club!"-
"Our school has a fight club?" I said out loud.
"Yeah. You never noticed?" Sai said from behind his iPhone. "There's been one since the school opened."
"I'm guessing you were a student when the school opened."
"Nope. I was a student four years later; One year before Sakura-sama started going to this school."
"Oh. I never knew that." I said quietly. I picked the book back up. -
"Fight club? Really? Hmm, maybe I should come to one of your matches."
"Please don't." He said quietly. Naruto laughed.
"Oh right! Sasuke's MAJORLY embarrassed by that!" He said, laughing again and turning into a parking lot.
"Well, here we are!" Naruto said, pulling the keys out of the engine. He got out and said,
"This is a real fancy place, isn't it?"
"Yup. Seems like we're right on time." Hinata said, looking at her watch.
"Then what are we waiting for?" I said. Sasuke walked over and took my hand and helped me get out of the car.
"Arigato, Sasuke-kun."
"It's nothing." He said, walking into the restaurant.

The sun was setting by the time we got our table. A man came over and said,
"My name is Daiki, I'll be your waiter. Can I start you off with something to drink?"
"I'll have water with lime." I said. The rest of us ordered something to drink and the man walked away.
"Is that guy gay or what?" Naruto asked the second he was out of earshot.
"Naruto-kun, that's mean!" Hinata said, smacking him on the arm. Naruto laughed and said,
"I'm just kidding. Jeez."
"Well don't kid with something like that!" I smiled. Maybe I can trust Naruto-san. I guess he isn't all that bad. I'm just going to have to live with that weird feeling. It's probably nothing anyway. I thought.
"Are you okay, Sakura-san?"
"Huh?" I looked over and saw Sasuke looking at me.
"Hehe. Yeah I'm fine." I said smiling. Sasuke smiled back and I sighed. I guess I can trust him too. At least with him I don't get that weird feeling. I thought.
"So, Sakura-san, what do you like to do for fun?" Sasuke asked quietly, obviously trying to think of something for us to talk about because Naruto and Hinata were chattering away.
"Well, I love reading and writing and I hope to be a writer one day!" I said happily. "What about you?"
"I like being in fight club, even though it's embarrassing, and I want to be a doctor or something like that." He said softly.
"That's cool!" I said.
"Here's your food." Daiki said, setting down four plates.
"Arigato Gusiamus!" I said, accepting my plate of noodles. Sasuke quietly took a small plate from him and had another glass of something. I didn't know what it was, and didn't care enough to ask. Naruto ripped into his T-bone steak like it was about to explode and if he didn't eat it right away, he'd die. Hinata slowly took bites of a salmon dish and Sasuke looked at his small plate with a venison hamburger on it. I smiled.
"Are you gonna eat the rest of that?" Naruto asked Hinata, pointing his fork at her salmon.
"It's all yours." She said, pushing her half-eaten salmon towards him. Naruto tore into that two before pointing at Sasuke's hamburger.
"It's all yours, Baka." Sasuke said, handing the Naruto his hamburger, his blue eyes sparkling. I slowly ate my pasta, sometimes forgetting it was there because I was so intently staring at Sasuke.
"Sakura-san, are you alright?"
"What?" I said, breaking out of a momentary trance.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me."
"I think I should. That's the second time I've caught you in some sort of trance. Are you coming down with a fever?" He said, putting his hand on my forehead. His fingers were icy and felt nice. They were really soft, too.
"Your face is all red, Sakura-chan."
"Yeah, I know." I said, blushing again. The man dropped off our check, and Sasuke treated us all.
"We should take a walk to work off all that food!" Hinata said.
"What? I just want to go home and get out of this dress."
"Why? You look so pretty in it." Sasuke said.
"It's j-just a li-little small." I stammered, blushing.
"Oh, come on! A walk in the moonlight! It'll be fun!" She said. I sighed and started walking.
"Moonlight?" I faintly heard Naruto say. I walked up next to Hinata and said,
"I don't want to walk in the middle of the night."
"I don't either. I'm just testing a little theory I have."
"What theory?"
"Oh, nothing." She turned to the boys.
"Naruto-kun! Why are you staying back there? Come up here with your girlfriend!" She said, waving at him. Naruto trudged up to her and I pulled back to walk next to Sasuke.
"Well, this was pretty fun."
"It won't be in about five minutes."
"Why?"
"Doesn't matter." Sasuke said quietly.
"So, Naruto and Hinata make a cute couple, don't they?" I asked. Sasuke-kun nodded and I said, "It's just that whenever I'm around Naruto, I get this weird feeling, like I'm not safe. Do you get that around him or am I just going insane?"
"I don't know." He said. He was looking up and Naruto and Hinata who were holding hands and talking. Maybe he wants to hold hands. I thought, grabbing his hand and wrapping my fingers around his. He looked down at my hand.
"What are you doing?"
"I, I thought you wanted to hold hands!" I said, letting go. He smirked.
"It's okay." He said, putting his hand in mine. I looked up into the sky, trying to find something to talk about.
"Wow. What a pretty full moon." Naruto stopped walking. I crashed into him and Sasuke helped me up, dragging me several steps away from the blonde.
"What are you doing? I wanted to see if he was okay!"
"You shouldn't get close to him now. Hinata! Back up!" He called to the girl. But the girl ignored him and put her hand on Naruto's shoulder. The boy hit her in the stomach so hard, she went flying.
"Hinata-chan!" I screamed. Sasuke cupped his hand over my mouth, and pulled me even further back.
"Mgrgf!" I tried to squirm loose, but Sasuke was having none of that. He held me tighter and pulled me further back. Hinata stood up and ran over to Naruto, who turned around and said
"STAY AWAY FROM ME!" Before smacking her against another wall.
"Hina-" Was all I managed to get out from behind Sasuke's fingers. I watched in horror as Naruto grew hair all over his body. His clothes started to rip and his eyes turned yellow. H-he's a werewolf! I thought, staring at the beast in front of me. I felt Sasuke's fingers release my mouth and saw him take two steps so that he was in front of me. Naruto walked over to Hinata and said,
"I told you to stay away. No look what you've done." He took another step and ripped his claws across Hinata's chest. Blood began to spout from four deep wounds on her body.
"HINATA!" I screamed as the girl hit the pavement, obviously dead. My eyes started to cloud as tears welled up.
"Hinata." I said. "Why didn't you just leave him alone?" I looked at Naruto and screamed,
"I thought I could trust you!" The werewolf looked at me and started to charge. A gun went off and Naruto hit the ground.
"Naruto-kun." I said softly. I looked up and saw Sasuke, standing next to me, a gun in his hands, and a silver bullet shell on the ground.
"S-Sasuke-kun." I said quietly.
"Are you okay?" He said, crouching down to see if I had any wounds.
"I-I'm fine."
"You look cold. Let's get you back home. You're parents'll understand." He said, helping me off the pavement. He pulled out a phone and punched in a few numbers.
"Hello, Shikamaru? Yeah, it's Sasuke. *Murmur*
Hinata and Naruto are dead. *How?*
He killed her, I killed him. *We had a pact with the werewolves you idiot!*
It was to protect Sakura! *You know what this means, Sasuke-san.*
Yes, I know what this means. Listen, I just need you to clean up corpses. I'm taking Sakura home, so I can't. *I'll send some guys right now. Bye Sasuke*
Bye." He closed the phone and looked at me.
"What pact? What does that mean? What the hell is going on?" I said, fear and panic apparent in my shaking voice.
"It's okay." He said, helping me up.
"That doesn't answer any of my questions."
"You just need to stay with me for a while. We're going out now, okay?"
"Like, dating?"
"Not like, are." I gulped and Sasuke smiled.
"Understand? I'm your boyfriend now." I nodded slowly. Sasuke grabbed my hand and walked me home.
End of chapter one. -
I put the book down.
"I can't believe Naruto would do something that stupid. I mean, kill the girl you're going out with? What kind of idiot does that?"
"Well remember, Naruto was a mindless beast. He wasn't thinking straight."
"Even still, you should be able to think that that's wrong! Come on!" I said, annoyed. Sai gave me a fake smiled and said
"It's 11:30. You should be getting to bed. We have school tomorrow."
"Okay. Get out."
"What?"
"Get out of my house."
"I don't think you understand. You're important to us and I have orders to never, under any circumstances, ever to leave you." I sighed.
"Fine. You can stay. Just be out in the hallway. I won't be able to sleep knowing that there's some guy in my room." Sai smiled and walked out of my room, silently closing the door behind him. I sighed again and pulled on my pajamas, throwing my school uniform on the floor. I pulled the covers off my bed and sat down. I stared up at the full moon before closing the shades, thinking about who might be out there, hurting a girl or boy that doesn't deserve to go.

There's the end of this chapter! R&R! -Chiharu-chan
