Chapter IV

Sakura's pov...

I headed to the library as I scan the many books. I needed something to distract me from what had just occurred in the classroom. What is he? I can't be dilutions if I've seen those eyes twice already. I picked up a random book and sat down calmly as I vigorously pass the pages. To my surprise the book was about werewolves and vampires.

"Nyctophilia..." I mumbled as I looked at the torn cover.

It seemed like a very old book. Ancient if you ask me. I retrace the pages as I look at the first page. The meaning of Nyctophilia was plastered there. Nyctophilia means lover of darkness or night, finding relaxation or comfort in the darkness. The book told ancient folk tales of beasts that roamed the night and claimed them theirs. How people used to murder them and trail them.

"Hey new girl." Sasuke's voice interrupted me.

When I looked up at him he covered my mouth and my eyes. I tried to fight him but he was too strong. He carried me bridal style as I tried to set myself free. I felt him run around the school as he held me prisoner. Seriously what is up with this school!? Sasuke opened a door as he then closed it. I was locket in a classroom only this one was different. The room was dark and creepy looking. I could tell I was under the school since it was colder. I tried reaching my phone but I realized it was gone. I turn around and slam my fist into the door.

"Fuck you Sasuke! Let me out!" I screamed but then I heard a small growl.

I turn to see Naruto as his red eyes glow in the darkness. There was something different about him. His teeth looked sharpen and his hair was much more messy. He has a stoic look that didn't seem very convincing.

"Gaara and Sasuke, I'd love if you guys would leave me alone with Sakura, right now." He ordered as I heard a door being shut.

"What are you?" I asked as I pressed my back in the door.

He smirks revealing some fangs as I widen my eyes and gasp. My heart felt like it wanted to jump out of my chest. He approached me as I close my eyes. He then trapped me as he placed his two hands around me to make sure I didn't escape and so I could look him in the eyes.

"I don't think it would be smart of you to ignore my eye contact." He said as I opened my eyes to see him.

"What are you? What do you want from me?" I asked as he smirks.

"You really are something, yet that doesn't explain what you do to me..." He said as his eyes trailed to my lips.

I felt my cheeks heat up as he stayed a while looking at my lips with hungry eyes. We stayed like that for awhile as he closed his eyes and they went back to their ocean colored eyes. I felt relieved as he did that and then his genuine smile shows.

"I'm sorry if I scared you but we do have to talk. I asked Sasuke to bring you here because I couldn't bring you myself. You already saw why." He explains as I nod silently.

"What do you want to talk about?" I asked trying to keep myself composed.

"Everything, we haven't exactly meet in the greatest of terms. I'm always furious whenever I was near you because of certain people that tick me off. But, other then that I think you might be worried about what you've seen because what I've accidentally shown you. Let's just say, many people would kill to see. I have only one option and that is to eliminate you after what you've seen..." He said as I widen my eyes.

"Do you actually think that I'm going to let you kill me that easily? Just because you have glowing red eyes?" I spat at his face but he just stays serious.

"I don't want to kill you Sakura..." He said as I gave him a puzzled look.

"The code or rules say I have to kill you, but I have a better idea. I told you before that you trigger something in me that makes it harder for me to control myself. Well, that means you and me have to be set up to do some testing and figure out why. God knows how long that will take. Therefore, for now on you and me are going to form an alliance." He said as I looked at him directly in the eyes.

"Alliance? And after we figure out what triggers you?" I asked glaring at him.

"You are free to go, it will be an exchange." He said as I crossed my arms over my chest.

"I find this deal hard to believe." I said frankly.

"You're going to be watched basically all the time. I can't afford risking anybody. You cannot speak about this or inform anyone. If you do, I'll eliminate anyone you told." He said.

"YOU WOULDN'T!" I screamed as he frowns.

"I'm in a gang, this is what I do in order to survive." He said as I bit my lip.

"I have no other option do I?" I asked.

"No you don't, unless you want to die." He said truthfully as I groan.

"What are you then?" I asked as he smirks.

"Keep reading Nyctophilia." He said as he left the room.

~\~\~\~

"So I told Tenten about the guy sleeping with the nose all weird." I said to Shizune as she laughs.

"So he fell asleep in mid assignment and his nose got worst? That's terrible!" Shizune said as we walk around the hospital.

It was good to be here now. I could distract myself and find myself in this place. I've always wanted to become a doctor and I think the more I spend my time here, the more I confirm it. But, even if I was feeling good here the thoughts and flashbacks of what happened early today still haunt me. What is he? I borrowed the book from school and decided to read it before I head off to school.

"EMERGENCY!"

Me and Shizune heard as a few nurses came rushing into the hallway. Soon I heard the ambulance as Shizune and me rushed to aid the patient. The paramedics informed Shizune of the accident as a couple of nurses grabbed the injured patient and dragged him to the emergency room. As they passed the patient I manage to notice that it was Naruto in that bed. I gasp as Shizune enters the hallway. Sasuke, Gaara and Hinata show up. Hinata was crying while Sasuke and Gaara were being held by the security guards.

"Let them go, I know them they won't do anything rash." I told the security guards as they let go of them.

"Is Naruto alright?" Gaara asked worried sick.

"What happened!?" I asked as Hinata glared at me.

"What are you even doing here!? This is none of your business, you have nothing to do with Naruto-kun!" Hinata yells at me as I glare at her.

"Calm down!" I said to her as Sasuke looks at me.

"Not to be rude or anything but. What are you doing here at this hour?" Sasuke asked as I rolled my eyes.

"I work here, I'll go check to see how Naruto is doing." I said as Gaara gives me a half smile.

"You can do that?" He asked as I nodded and he mouth a thank you.

I rushed towards Shizune as I ask her about Naruto. He was badly wounded. A couple of scars and deep cuts what they were worried about was a big opening in his lower abdomen that was bleeding and wouldn't stop. I remember how his emotions trigger the red eyes, if the doctors see that they'll kill him. I asked doctor Tsunade if she could allow me to assist her.

"This isn't a time to joke around!" She snaps at me as I let out a sigh.

"Doctor please! This is critical, I need to be there." I said as she glared at me.

"Why? You don't even know the basic of medicine school. Do you think that will look lovely in the eyes of the other medical staff that I let some armature enter a very delicate situation?" She said as I bit my lip.

She was right, it's not fair but I need to get in and make sure everything is alright. I pleaded as I prayed for a miracle to happen. Doctor Tsunade gave me one last look as she signaled me to enter with her. We both weared masks as we began to stitch Naruto up. As the doctors began to stitch him up he started growing uneasy. His movements gee vicious and aggressive as he unconsciously slapped the doctors needles to the other part of the room. I could feel him turning to his other side. I held his hand as he soon, began to calm down. This time whenever he tried to go crazy on them

I pressed his hand and he would calm down till it was finished.

"I guess it was a good idea to bring you here." Doctor Tsunade said as I smiled.

"I'm sorry it's just that I uh-" She cuts me off.

"It's obvious that he needed you. And without you he would have probably bleed to death if you hadn't calm him down." She said with a smile as I felt my cheeks heat up.

"Don't get the wrong idea, please doctor Tsunade..." I said as she giggled.

"My opinion is out, it's your life and he obviously needs you in his. I'll leave you two alone." Tsunade said as I looked at Naruto.

I lean closer to study his features. His soft face as he sleeps and the way his chest goes up and down when he breathes. He reminded me of a frighten child. When he was going crazy as they stitched him up he reminded me of a helpless child, lost till he found his mother and regain his calmness...

"What are you doing to me?" I mumbled as I lean in closer, or lips inches apart.

Chapter V

I realized what I was about to do as I backed away. In that moment Naruto opened his eyes. They were red but he seemed calm. He took a good look at me and was slightly taken back that I was there. He smiles as his blue eyes take over.

"I thought I smiled cherry blossoms." He says with a cute smile as I blush.

"You do realize I almost got into a lot of trouble because of you, right?" I said serious as I cross my arms over my chest.

"Really? And why so?" He asked curiously as I rolled my eyes.

"I work here and I wasn't suppose to enter this room when they were working on your injury. I had to enter before you turned all...Red eyes on the doctors, but, one thing is for sure. I manage to calm you through out the whole stitching which means you were right. I do have some type of paranormal effect on you." I spoke as he went back to serious mood.

"I thank you for that, but you do realize what this means? Right?" He asked as I gave him a puzzled look.

"What?" I asked impatiently.

"You can't leave my side, that includes school." He said as I let out a sigh.

~\~\~\~

The school bell rings as I enter the classroom late. I had overslept because of my shift at the hospital. I was asking Naruto a few questions about his wounds but all he manage to tell me was that it was because of a gang. He's such an idiot. Let alone now he apparently, is going to be behind me 24/7. I don't know if that's good or bad?

"So nice of you to join us Haruno." Guy said as I groan and apologize.

I walked towards my seat as I see Naruto. He was sitting behind my seat with a smug smirk. He winks at me as the blush in my cheeks takes over. Tenten and Temari were waving at me as I waved back at them. I walked towards my seat as I sit down and start copying what's on the board. Naruto leans in closer as I could feel his hot breath near my ear.

"Sakura, being around me might bring consequences. I don't want you to chicken out on me." He said as I glare and turn around to face him.

"Do you think I'm some type of coward who runs away!?" I shout a little too loud as everyone looks at us.

"Sakura Haruno and Naruto Uzumaki, detention both of you." Guy said without even turning around and looking at us.

I've never gotten detention before and all because he can't keep his mouth shut. Then he dares think he is so scary because of his red eyes and weird things. Holding a claim on me as if I was his property and now I'm

stuck in detention because of him.

"Baka!" I said as I hit him in the head and everyone widens their eyes.

"You bitch!" Hinata shouted as she walked my way and grabbed my uniform.

"Hinata Hyuuga, drop her before I call your father." Guy said as she tighten her grip around my shirt.

"If you think I'm scared of you too, trust me I'm not. So drop me or go ahead try it..." I threaten as I glared at her.

"Hinata calm down we were just playing around. Jeez what's the big deal?" Naruto said as he tried to make amends.

"I'm getting tired of her being around you!" Hinata said as Naruto glared at her.

"You better start getting used to it, cause she's my friend." Naruto said as I widen my eyes and felt my heart go boom.

"Naruto-kun..." Hinata said with tears in her eyes.

She dropped me as she ran out of the classroom. Naruto and me exchanged looks as the room went silent. Tenten and Temari were giving me frighten looks. Guy just rolled his eyes and mumbled how mellow dramatic this school was. He continued to copy as the bell rang and we all left. Tenten and Temari walked towards me worriedly.

"You've unleashed hell!" Tenten practically screamed.

"How supportive Tenten.." I said as Temari crossed her arms over her chest.

"She's not lying, but we will watch your back. Come on, let's go to gym." Temari said as we both walked towards gym.

Gym started and we all decided to play volleyball. As the game started I could tell the atmosphere was thick. Gaara and Sasuke where here but Naruto was nowhere to be found. I had a really bad feeling. As we played volleyball Ino was making sure the ball would hit me. Thankfully I was able to hit the ball or save it. As the game continued she hit harder and harder each time. Hinata was by her side also. I somewhat felt bad for her but they told me it was just an act. The ball came crashing towards me as it hit my guts. I held it as Tenten and Temari come rushing towards me.

"Sakura-chan!" They both screamed as they kneel down beside me.

"Pathetic!" Ino said as she walked towards me and so did Hinata.

"You b-b-it..." I was cut off by Hinata who bends down in front of me and grabs my chin. She raised it to see my eyes.

"Naruto-kun is mine and when you threaten what is mine. Bad things unleash upon you. Therefore you leave me no choice. But to teach you to respect private property!" Hinata said as I glare at her.

Sasuke and Gaara show up in a swift movement as Sasuke grabbed Hinata and Gaara grabbed Ino. They both glare at the boys but shocked as well.

"Hinata, you've crossed the line." Sasuke said as she glared at him.

"W-what!? As if you care for anyone you emotionless boy." Hinata screamed at Sasuke as he tighten his grip around her.

"You're defending her too? What is she some new toy you all share!? Now you've crossed the line, nobody takes my Sasuke." Ino said viciously as she tried to escape Gaara's grip.

"I was never yours Ino, so stop with the nonsense. What Sakura is to me or us is none of your concern and let alone do we care for your opinion. If you must know, Naruto was the one that ordered us to have a watchful eye on Sakura." Sasuke said as he dropped Hinata.

She was so taken back she looked paralyzed. She didn't move or speak. Ino was shocked and Tenten and Temari too. Sasuke walked towards me and grabbed my arm as he pulled me up.

"Tenten and Temari, watch over Hinata and Ino. Sakura needs to be with us." Sasuke ordered.

"But why?" Temari asked as Gaara looked at her silently.

"She'll be fine, trust me sister." Gaara said reassuring her as she nodded and the three of us left.

"Right now, this is just the beginning of what she is to expect from now on." Sasuke said to me as I frown.

Sasuke dragged me out of the school and he took me to some hidden stairs. The stairs lead us to the roof as the sun shines upon us. There was no sign of Naruto.

"We will stay here till Naruto arrives." Sasuke said as Gaara nodded.

"Why did you drag me here?" I asked as they both sigh.

"Hinata and Ino want your flesh bleed in front of their eyes. Are you sure it wasn't a good idea?" Sasuke said as I rolled my eyes.

"I'm not scared of them! And I can take them on." I said as Gaara chuckled.

"Just relax Sakura, Naruto will be back in a couple of 5 minutes." Gaara said.

"What is Naruto?" I asked as they both exchanged looks.

"We shouldn't tell her." Sasuke said as Gaara let out a sigh.

"Naruto is what you would call a beast. He has something in him that gives him a sort of supernatural power." Gaara explained.

"A beast? Like a werewolf?…
