xxx (VERY IMPORTANT CHANGES DONE)

A/N IMPORTANT: One of my reviewers mentioned that this was like a Gakuen Alice take but with Sakura and Sasuke. Yes it is, I actually have had this idea for a while now. But trust me I am not continuing any Gakuen Alice plots. The first chapters are very similar to the anime, but I will not in any way take this down that same road. In fact, this chapter can prove that my plot is different from that of GA. I plan on changing A LOT. I have my own idea as to where I would like to take this whole story and it does not involve taking old plots from Gakuen Alice or future plots for that matter.

Sakura ran into her home and locked herself in her room. The pinkette could only think about one thing. That kiss. It was her first kiss and she was disappointed that it was with someone she barely met. She didn't know anything about him other than his name and that was not enough for Sakura.

"Who does he think he is?" She muttered to herself and angrily got undressed, "It's okay, I will not approach him tomorrow. That slap across the face should have taught him a lesson." Sakura frowned as she wrapped a towel around her body. She needed a bath to relax, today's stress was too much.

"Uncle? Sheesh I don't have uncle's, I would know." Sakura laughed thinking how the kidnappers were getting so many facts wrong. With the knowledge they had, there's no way that they would have her fooled. As a cold breeze was felt, Sakura focused her eyes on the open front door. Why did grandma forget to close it? Sighing, she approaches the door and closes it softly.

"That should do i-AH!" Sakura suddenly finds herself of the floor and in pain.

"Ow." Sakura winces and picks up what she slipped on, "An envelope?" Turning the postcard size envelope around, her eyes spark with curiosity.

Sakura Haruno

It was a handwritten note. In her own handwriting. She was intrigued, "When did I write this?" She made her way to the bath and ran the water while she cautiously opened the envelope.

Dear future Sakura,

You are getting this letter because your Charlotte was made to react to a kiss by someone who possesses another Charlotte. It will take a while before you find it or it might not. Really, I am taking a longshot here. The reason I am sending this is because I want to warn you about them. This means that they have found you and you must not trust them. Your uncle released you without them knowing and has sent you far away from the organization. Please do not fall for the words that the people who found you say, the only one who knows the truth is Kuro Neko. I cannot tell you his identity in fear that it will distort time and change the future more than I already have. Sakura, do not go back to Konoha High. When you turn 17, you are to run away from home. Your grandmother will be safe as long as you let her know you are leaving. She will understand and go into hiding as planned.

"W-What is this?" Sakura put the letter down. This was all in her handwriting and that scared her. She didn't want to keep reading. Yet even so, she was curious.

Listen, your memories will return maybe not soon, but you will remember. Please understand the situation, and run away with Kuro Neko. He will take you to someone who will keep you safe. Sakura it is important that after you understand this letter, you wear a bun in public as soon as possible. This will indicate Kuro Neko that you are ready. Please make sure that you close your window tonight and double check that there is no one in your room. Pack a small back pack with three days' worth of clothes and take that to wherever it is that you will go in public with. Make it seem like you are unaware of them being imposters. Kuro Neko will explain everything to you when you both leave. Please trust him. Of all people, you can trust him.

P.S you are most likely doubting the validity of this letter, you have a birthmark on your right butt cheek and you refuse to tell anyone about it.

P.P.S If Kuro Neko does not insult your hair color, he is being controlled by them. If that is the case, please follow the map in this envelope alone.

The letter ends and Sakura stares ahead.

What did she just read?

The digital clock read 6:40 a.m when Sakura awoke the next morning. She had two more hours to think about what she wanted to do. Yesterday, those men talked about her uncle and although she didn't remember such a family member, the letter she received mentioned him too. She thought about her birthmark which nobody knew was there because her undergarments would have to be removed in order for it to be visible and Sakura did not strip down in front of anyone. EVER.

"Kuro Neko?" Sakura stared at the ceiling and reached for the map that the letter had mentioned.

Opening it, she saw that there was an X marked near a lake two villages away from her village.

"How do I know who to trust?" She was worried, she didn't know if the letter was to be trusted either. Then it hit her.

She stood and packed her school bag with clothes. She knew how to find out the truth. As Sakura packed, she thought about what her actions would be in two hours. She had to be careful as to how she would go about her day. She changed into her uniform and headed towards the kitchen to make breakfast.

She wouldn't think about the letter too much. It was still too soon to believe the words written. She didn't understand them fully and so she shouldn't act too harshly. But the events that had been taking hold the last two days, left her with little choice. She couldn't think of another reason not to believe the letter. And so she had decided to wear her hair in a bun that day.

"Sakura!" Misori greeted as said girl sat at her desk.

"Hey, Misori." Sakura greeted and began to take her supplies out of her bag. As she was doing so, she noticed Sasuke sitting next to her. She glared at him before turning back to face Misori. She was still very angry and she knew she was being petty but he was a douche. So it didn't bother her too much.

"So I think today should be a nice day to visit the-"

Sakura found herself on the floor, gasping for air. She coughed continuously and began to look around the room. It was engulfed in smoke and debris. Her ears were still ringing and she began to feel a throbbing pain in her chest. That explosion had thrown her off and she was now frozen in place. Her eyes searched the room for Misori, although she had been in front of her just a few seconds ago. Now she was no where to be found.

"M-Misori!" Sakura called out and stood to walk out of the room. Everyone she was leaving behind, seemed to have no injuries. Although, she didn't know how she knew that. She shook the thought out of her head. She needed to find Misori.

"Hey there,"

Sakura was lifted by a pair of hands and she began struggling in the person's grip. He had a squared face, a very light complexion and red eyes. Very red. They made Sakura feel uncomfortable. That, and he seemed to be very fit.

"Let me go!" She yelled and threw a punch. He easily caught it and slapped her across the face.

"Stay still."

Sakura stayed quiet while being carried down the hall. She knew she couldn't fight the guy carrying her. He was too strong and she was very unskilled in any self-defense department. So she did the only thing she thought of doing. She pushed herself slightly up on his back and when he faced her, she spit into his eyes. And the moment his grip weakened, she pushed herself completely off of him. She quickly picked herself up from the floor and began to run towards the stairs. She ran down as fast as she could and although noticing the many injured students, continued to run. She was in danger and she could care less about the others. It sounds cynical, but would any one really risk their life at the moment? She was turning to run down another set of stairs when the guy suddenly appeared behind her and he gave her a good kick in the back. She ungracefully, rolled down the stairs and hit hard against the wall at the end. She tried to get up before he grabbed her by the collar and held her against the window. He smirked, "You'll be fine," Sakura suddenly found herself falling alongside the pieces of glass from the window. She had been thrown from the fifth floor. She held her breath, and everything around her went by slowly. She felt as if she was falling for hours, but really it was only seconds. She blinked and suddenly, he was carrying her. Sasuke Uchiha had saved her.

"Annoying." He muttered before landing on the floor with her in his arms. She only gripped his shirt tight and let her breath go. He didn't say anything before running into the woods.

"What do you mean he took her?" Minato paced around the room.

"Well if dumbass over here didn't try to kill her, Sasuke wouldn't have jumped to her rescue!" Naruto exclaimed and everyone groaned.

"Our plan failed, what do we do now?" Shikamaru asked.

"You find them. And get her alive."

Sakura stared Sasuke as he carried her through the mountains. He had saved her from dying just a few minutes ago and had told her to forget about Misori. She had of course, fought with him and wanted him to take her to Misori. But he had said she was safe and in no danger at all. He seemed to be very honest but Sakura knew he couldn't completely trust him.

"Are you going to speak?" Sakura asks the raven haired man. He doesn't make a move to show he acknowledged her. But before she could ask him again, he spoke.

"No."

"Where are you taking me?" Sakura asked and he only ignored her. She began to get frustrated and so she slapped him across the face. She was not going to take his shit at a very crucial moment like this. She had a broken ankle and quite possibly a broken arm. She was in a lot of pain and she needed answers.

"What the fuck?" He frowned down at her and she only frowned back.

"Give me answers. I was almost just killed by multiple people in a span of two days. I think I deserve some sort of explanation! I am being carried out of my village and leaving my grandmother behind! My only family! I'm scared and you are doing nothing to calm me down." Sakura began to cry and he only sighed.

"Your hair is ugly and that pastel color is horrifying."

Sakura stopped crying and understood. This was Kuro Neko. But now she felt uneasy again. He was with them, with Minato and the one's the letter told her to stay away from.

"The letter said you would explain-" He turned and frowned

"Stop talking until we leave the village completely." He stated and continued walking.

"Stop walking and listen to me!" She yelled desperately.

Emerald locked on with onyx.

"You listen to me. I do not plan on explaining anything until we are as far away from them as I can get you in five hours. You will follow me, because you want to. If you don't want to, then please be my guest and go get taken away by them." He seethed and Sakura was speechless.

"Please,continue on your way." Sakura said and Sasuke nodded.

Sakura was exhausted. They had been walking for hours now and had barely crossed the village border. During the hike, she stared at Sasuke trying to understand who he was. He had saved her, but also spoken very harshly to her. Was he truly someone to be trusted?

Sasuke stepped up on a nearby rock and suddenly, he was falling forward. Sakura braced herself for the impact, since she was still in his arms and would mostly brace his fall.

"A-Ah!" She braced for the impact but it never came. Instead, Sasuke had cocooned her in his arms and switched their positions so that he took the hit for her.

"S-Sasuke!" Sakura gently touched his cheek and he 'tch-ed'

"How bothersome. Let's keep going." He stated as he picked her up in his arms again and held her to his chest.

"We met when you turned eight." Sasuke suddenly said and Sakura listened closely, "You were obnoxious and believed every word Minato told you. You had been at Konoha High for three years by then and never once realized the truth behind any of it."

"Truth?" Sakura asked now completely focused on Sasuke's story.

"Konoha High doesn't keep you safe from the scientists. They are the scientists." Sasuke's words were registered inside of Sakura's head and she did not know what to say.

"Nobody is born with a Charlotte. Konoha High mutated every single student living there in order to try and make the ultimate soldiers for war. You were one of them at a very young age, you don't remember it but you were tricked into the school. Some kids were donated and others were simply kidnapped."

"The reason that you are being hunted, is simple. You are an escapee. Your power of healing was wanted by the head scientist in Konoha High, you kept him young with your powers. You kept him alive. One day, you died in an accident at the school. You were thirteen." Sakura's eyes widened.

"I died. But how am I…"

"You were brought back to life by the medical nurses. But when you awakened, your Charlotte was gone. They experimented on you countless of times to try and get your power to return, but failed. You were deemed useless and sentenced to death. Your uncle of course did not let that happen and he secretly sent you away. You had your memories erased in order to keep you safe and sent as far away from Konoha as possible. Until now, when you have been found."

Sakura grasped Sasuke's shoulders roughly.

"How do you know any of this? And Minato said that I still have my Charlotte, didn't you say I lost it? I have noticed my healing power now as well." She was blabbering and he shook his head to motion her to be quiet.

"This is all I will tell you for now. Your uncle will be able to explain the rest. But I will tell you that I helped you write that letter. It was the day before you left, I snuck into your room to see you. And you told me all about your uncle's plan. You wrote the letter to yourself and I took it to one of our team mates. His name is Kakashi. He can copy and Charlotte he can get his hands on. This was how he was able to obtain the time travel Charlotte and send me to this time briefly to drop the letter off when I kissed you. And when I arrived back in time, you were gone." Sasuke explained, "Your uncle trusted me to help and since then, he has gone into hiding."

"I hear your voice sometimes." Sakura laid her head on his shoulder.

"I do happen to be speaking to you Sakura," Sasuke smirked and Sakura shook her head.

"From the past," She started and Sasuke came to a halt, "I hear your voice from the past."

"How do you know it's me and not someone else? You don't remember the past." Sasuke did not move an inch.

Sasuke held her tight. She cried into his chest and clutched onto his shirt tightly.

"I don't want to leave you Sasuke! Come with me, please. My uncle can get us both out." She wept and Sasuke smiled softly.

"I can't go Sakura. I have a better chance of protecting you if I stay. I have learned their secrets as well, and I will not let them control me. I will not let them make me forget you." He explained to the poor girl.

"I'm scared. What if our plan doesn't go as planned?" Sakura pulled away from his embrace and looked into his eyes. Sasuke caressed her left cheek and wiped away her tears.

"I will find you. Wherever you are, I promise you I will find you and bring you back to me." He stated and leaned in slightly.

"S-Sasuke?" She didn't move.

"Pull away if you don't want me to." Sasuke whispered and lightly lifted her chin up and started to close the gap between them.

"I love you Sasuke."

His lips gently touched hers.

"You kept your promise. You found me again." Sakura smiled and Sasuke continued walking. Sakura knew that even a snippet of her past would not help her regain the feelings she once felt for this man or her old friends. But she knew that with every snippet, she would be closer to understanding the world around her much better. Sakura closed her eyes and started to drift away while feeling grateful to the man carrying her.

She was not able to see his face as the corners of his mouth curved upwards. He was happy.

Constructive criticism is welcomed. Until the next chapter!
