Chapter 3
The beautiful blonde girl was called Ino.
Sakura tried to reassure herself that the event that occurred earlier wasn't real, but the scene kept replaying itself in her mind.
The hungry look in her eyes and the fangs, were just to real.
Demons are only an figment of my imagination.
They aren't real,
but it seemed so real.
The way she stroked my cheek
and the way her incisors gleamed like fangs.
Why couldn't I move,
why didn't I just run away from her.
instead I just watched her actions.
The way she kissed her teeth and licked her lips, like she was gonna eat me,
eat me alive.
Maybe she was just doing it to scare me,
Naruto probably put her up to it,
since they look like good friends.
I saw them talking.
He is such a jerk
"Hi Sakura", said Temari with a huge smile on her face.
"O, Hi Temari", said Sakura with a small smile.
"You don't seem to happy, is it cause you just met Ino, she has that effect on people", said Temari taking a seat next to Sakura.
"Thanks", said Ino slowly walking to them.
"Ino how are you, heard you weren't well?" asked Temari genuinely worried.
"Feeling fine now", she said smiling, eyes set on Sakura.
"Settle down people, Back to your seats", said Mr Hatake.
"It's a pleasure to have you back Miss Yamanaka", announced Mr Hatake
"And I oblige you to follow the school rules like all the other students in my class Miss Haruno.
No Jewellery, that will get confiscated if seen again", He shouted.
Sakura looked down in embarrassment and tucked the necklace in her shirt, for some reason she would never take it off.
She heard someone snigger next to her,
Sakura turned to her left only to be welcomed by those annoying onyx eyes.
Sasuke Uchiha.
The most popular boy in the school and the most annoying to,
second from her brother.
They didn't talk much, only occasionally, for a pencil, or sharpener, but even those short conversations would make her angry.
Their was just something unsettling about him. The way his eyes would show nothing but anger, hatred and scornful laughter.
He hardly talked in class, but she didn't either.
At least there was something they had in common.
Sasuke was a sight for sore eyes, Dark messy hair and mesmerising onyx eyes.
He had a toned body and was incredibly tall with the cutest dimples.
No wonder every girl in the school worshipped him.
Sakura was the only girl in the entire school immune to his power.
He could make and girl stutter and stammer, with just one look,
except her.
It's cause his hair resembles a chickens back side, she laughed inwardly
He hardly smiled only when showing his dominance and that was another creepy quality to add to all of the others.
Unfortunately for Sakura, Sasuke had chosen her to be his target, his goal to humiliate her in any way he could.
The other members of his so-called- group were Nara Shikamaru,Hyuuga Neji ,Inuzuka Kiba, Karin, Sai, Akimichi Choji and Rock Lee They were all in her class.
A new found member in their group was Ino ,
and her previous friends Temari, Ten Ten and Hinata didn't like this at all.
Sakura stared at her pendant in concentration. She stared at the carvings hoping for an answer to appear out of thin air. She was walking from school, reminiscing the strange events that had occurred.
Now she knew her true view on Demons. They were real and they were out there waiting for their prey.
Despite all this she suddenly realised she knew nothing about them.
She walked past a newsagents and was walking on the lone trail, it was a shortcut to her house.
Suddenly she felt insecure if Demons did exist wouldn't they be waiting, for someone like her to be out of any public areas, to be alone in a deserted place where no one could hear her screams and cries for help.
After all that had happened she was stupid enough to take this trail.
She didn't want to alert anyone or anything that was hiding, she walked calmly but fast.
Making sure no one was there,
she heard soft footsteps behind her,
Sakura halted looking around but there was nothing in sight but trees and thick bushes concealing anything behind them.
She sprinted away, hearing those very footsteps follow her.
"Wait up", shouted a familiar voice.
She stopped only to hear Naruto laughing.
"You scared me", she growled heatedly.
"Well, is it my fault your easily frightened." he answered a smirk placed on his lips.
"What are you doing here?" she asked her emerald eyes glaring at him.
"Doing the same thing you are. Going home", he replied.
"You usually take the other way", she said through gritted teeth.
"Well, a change was needed." he said.
She had to confine in someone right now.
I don't have to tell Naruto everything.
I'll just ask him if there's anyone he knows that can translate that.
Naruto watched her as she thought to herself.
It was very amusing watching her crescent shaped eyebrows furrowed in concentration and her emerald eyes focused.
She was thinking very hard. His eyes twinkled in amusement.
He didn't know why his view changed.
At first he wanted nothing to do with her but now he thought differently.
She was an interesting little thing, she was beautiful, she may look gothic but any guy would fall head over heels for her.
And he didn't want her as a sister, but something else.
He smiled as she looked at him.
Naruto knew that with her in his life something interesting was bound to happen.
So close, yet so far.
I was so close to her, her fear was set in the air.
She stopped every so often to see if anyone was following her, and at one point I thought she saw me, in the bushes.
Unfortunately for the both of us he came.
He ruined our little rendezvous.
Today was meant to be our proper meeting, my introduction.
Her awakening, she's meant to be one of us.
I know she's the one,
She can be our weapon to victory but also the key to our destruction.
She'll have to choose soon.
Wait a little while Sakura because soon you'll be apart of us.
Apart of my hell.
Apart of my world.
The walk home with Naruto went by like a blur.
A comfortable silence went between the two.
She desperately wanted to tell someone about the carvings.
She couldn't tell her mother, she'd hassle her about where she got it from.
And she couldn't tell her step dad since she chose not to talk to him only unless she had to.
She had two choices,
I either tell Temari or I tell Naruto.
Temari already knows about all this so she would be a suitable person to confide in.
But Temari isn't picking up her phone and Naruto is the only other person I know.
I don't have to tell him about mine and Temari's theory, I'll let him look at the necklace.
But what if,
What if he doesn't know anyone who speaks Chinese, will he be willing to help me, or will he just blow me off.
O.K I know he won't do that he isn't that of a big jerk but……………..
All these what ifs, popped into Sakura's head.
She made a decision ,
she'd tell Naruto,
not everything but just enough to get her point through.
Sakura timidly walked to his room and was deafened by heavy metal music.
She knocked on the door.
No reply.
She knocked harder.
Still nothing.
Irritated she knocked and yelled his name.
"Naruto, open the damn door", she yelled.
She knocked and kicked the door in anger.
She frowned she was about to go back when the door opened revealing Naruto,
He was wearing a pair of black tracksuit bottoms and a white vest.
He looked at her questioningly.
"I've been calling you for ages, you could go deaf with that music so high, you'll make me deaf to I can hear it from my room", she lied.
"I'll keep it down", he said with a small smile, he closing the door, she quickly put her foot in the way, the door was ajar.
She softly pushed opening the door wide open and strolled into the room.
"What are you doing?" he asked sceptically.
"You didn't let me finish", she said closing the door behind her.
She took in the Navy Curtains that had orange spirals cascading down and the walls that were painted in a midnight blue colour.
His desk was littered with papers and books, his computer turned on.
He was instant messaging someone
She looked at his bed with the dark blue pillow and an Orange comforter the bed was cluttered with clothes.
Well now I've got a hint of what to buy him for Christmas.
Something blue or orange.
She looked around uncomfortably she didn't know what to do next.
Naruto grabbed a bunch of his clothes and threw them onto his computer desk.
He beckoned her to sit with him.
"What is it?" he asked.
She pulled the necklace out of her light blue shirt.
Sakura turned it around her hands and showed him the carvings.
"I was hoping you knew someone who could translate this", she said.
He looked at it staring at the carvings.
"I think it's Chinese", she said.
"I'm sorry but I don't know anyone that might be able to translate this", he said lowly.
"Oh, thanks anyway", she said sadly.
Sakura was close to the door.
"Sakura wait, There's this women , she owns the antique shop and I think she's Chinese.
Miss Tsunade. She might know what it says, but I vaguely know her.
I could take you to her antique shop after school", he said thoughtfully.
"Really", she said excitedly.
She happily embraced him with a hug.
"Thank you, I'd like that, you don't know how much this means to me", she said pulling back.
Before she left she asked "Can I take a friend with me?"
"Sure I guess" he said, blushing with embarrassment.
