Hey everyone, im BACK!! :D Okay...i have made one of the biggest accomplishments for this story...and that is posting this chapter within a week from the last one and that makes me happy...anyways i dont exactly know how well this chapter actually turned out due to typing it late at night and around my busy schedule but it happened...on that note i realized when looking back further into the story for something I realized that i had made a small mistake...its nothing too big but it had to be figured out and clarified before i continued with the story or it might just confuse u like it confused me just trying to fix it. so as u all know in chapter 3 sasuke said that his father was in charge of the police station but then in chapter 6 i sid that the chief of police was Shane Evans. well i have now made where yes Sasuke's dad is in charge of the police station as in he owns/is manager sort of thing but then he is also a chief of police but in a different division then Shane is. Shane is the chief of police for the everyday stuff and Fugaku will be the chief of police for the tragedies and big time stuff

I really hope that didnt confuse u more but instead made u understand...some people are probably wondering y i wasted time to even bother saying that since only Shane is in the story but Fugaku will be in it so u guys really had to understand this concept :) Anyways I shall not waste any more prescious time talking so on with the story

DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Naruto in the least bit...even if I really wanted to :(


Chapter 9

"What?! You have known about this the whole time and you guys didn't tell us?" exclaimed Ino as she was looking around wildly.

"Well any smart person would realize that it's better to not tell you guys because you would do exactly what you're doing now. Freaking out and practically telling whoever is following us that he has been discovered." stated Shikamaru as he yawned and tried to calm Ino down.

"Well at least I know that I am not paranoid. So what are we going to do about it?" asked Sakura.

"We will just continue to do what we were doing and pretend he isn't there but if it gets worse we might just have to go to the police station." explained Sasuke as he continued to walk down the road.

"It probably won't be all that easy but okay, if you say so." I said uneasily as I followed the rest of my friends.

"So Sakura, are you ready for the track meet next Thursday?" asked Tenten.

"Oh man. I totally forgot about that. Yeah I am as ready as I will ever be. Suna's track team is extremely terrible and easy to beat. The only good runners at that school would be Gaara and Suigetsu and they are both full of themselves so they won't be too hard to defeat. Besides I am really looking forward to seeing their faces when I defeat them and when I shove their words and my misery right back into their faces." I laughed as I thought of their pain and I think I kind of scared my friends because they were all slowly backing away from me.

"What words did they say for you to want to shove them in their faces?" asked a curious Hinata since she was the only one brave enough to fear my wrath.

"Oh, well they said that they didn't need me to win the track meets, and that I was just some stupid slut who should run off and never return because no one liked me. Therefore, since those two were the leaders of the school everything they said went, so all of my friends turned on me and I left. I was sick of people ridiculing me, calling me a slut and worse, and not being my friend just because the two guys had told everyone not to be." I said as I was reminiscing the two players that had ruined my life in Suna.

"Wait a second, I remember you mentioning Gaara being your ex-boyfriend but you never mentioned Suigetsu." exclaimed Ino as she all of a suddenly looked serious for once in her life.

"Well I didn't really think it was all that important and because that is where I got my reputation of being a slut from. Suigetsu apparently just wanted me so he could add another girl to his extremely long list of girls and that hurt but I got over it and I thought Gaara was better than Suigetsu because he was actually nice to me and our dating had lasted longer, but of course I was wrong. He was cheating on me practically the whole time that we were going out." I sighed as all of this came back to my memory.

"Oh." was all that the girls could say as the guys looked at me pitifully.

"Man, I don't need your pity guys. So please stop staring at me." I said as I glared at the guys and well the girls too.

"So what are we going to do now?" I asked while trying to change the subject.

"We can….."

I stopped listening to whoever was speaking when I could have sworn I heard the quiet sound of clicking. The sound sounded extremely familiar like I had heard it before but I just couldn't place it to any object. Wait a second, I had heard this sound almost all day. Now that I think about it, I had heard it ever since I ran into Sasuke but I didn't think much of it.

'Where have I heard that noise before?' I thought and thought but it just wouldn't come to me.

I froze up instantly when I finally attached that sound to an object.

That sound could have only been made by a…digital camera.

"Sakura…Hello… Earth to Sakura!" emphasized Ino as she wildly waved her hands in my face.

"Um, guys I think we should head to the police station right now." I whispered urgently while silently freaking out.

"Why?" asked Sasuke as he backed up so he could hear everything that Sakura had to say.

"Well you know how we are being followed, right?" I asked getting freaked out by the minute.

"Yes of course. How could we possibly forget something as big as that?" exclaimed Neji.

I guess no one had a clue as to what I was trying to say since by the looks of things no one has heard the camera yet.

"I think that person is taking a lot of photos of us." I whispered close to panicking. "I have heard the clicking of a camera ever since I met up with Sasuke but…"

"Why didn't you tell us sooner?!" loudly whispered Ino.

"I didn't really think about it. I guess I was too shocked that Sasuke had spoken more than the usual and then I forgot about it until I heard the sound again." I was so close to crying that it wasn't even funny and it didn't help that everyone was staring at me. I can't handle this kind of stress.

"It's fine Sakura. It was not your fault. Ok so let's start walking towards the police station. Luckily it is only a few more blocks away." comforted Sasuke as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder as a few tears started to drip down my face.

He helped me walk even though I felt like it would be so much better to fall on the ground and just cry, but I continued on just because Sasuke was going out of his comfort zone to help me feel better. It actually felt good to know that you have a large group of friends that will always be there for you even if times are getting hard or just downright scary.

We finally arrived at the police station and my very few tears had dried up awhile ago and I was feeling much better with all of my friends with me.

We walked up to the front desk and Sasuke asked to speak with Mr. Evans.

"Why of course you can Sasuke-san but I am rather surprised that you do not wish to speak with your father." said the cheerful receptionist as she dialled a number.

"Yeah well he is of no need in this situation so there is no point in interrupting whatever he is doing." explained Sasuke

"Fair enough, you may now go to his office for he is ready to see you." She said as she pointed to the door that seemed so familiar to me from my last visit.

We walked down the hall and knocked on the door just to walk into the room when he opened the door.

"So what is it that happened to cause all of you to come down to my office?" he asked in a rather business like voice.

"Well you told Sakura to come and see you whenever something happens and well something happened. I will let Sakura explain." said Sasuke.

"Ok, Sakura tell me what happened." He stated.

"Well we were just walking around the city because they were going to show me where everything was and such but then we felt like we were being followed. We continued to walk and we had decided that we would only come to the police if it continued or if it got worse but then I started to pay attention to this sound that I had been hearing all day and I recognized it to be that of a camera's. So yeah I have reason to believe that whoever is following us is taking pictures of us and it is really creeping me out." I spilled out all in one breath hoping that he understood at least one word that I had said.

"Ah…well if that is the case then we really do have a problem but it also might not be what you think it is and could just be part of your mind over exaggerating things due to stress." Mr Evans said as he wrote down some stuff.

"You don't think that this could somehow be connected to my little sister and that creep that was stalking her, do you?" I asked rather hesitantly at first still thinking through my thought.

"There is a good possibility that they could be connected but the chances of that are very slim. For all we know this could just be a coincidence that happened to come up around the same time that your little sister was followed home." He said doubtfully as he closed his notebook.

It sounded as if he was either trying to tell himself that it wasn't true or he was just trying to make me relax but either way I didn't believe a thing he just said about it being a coincidence and I don't' think the others did either.

"Ok so what should we do now?" I asked as if expecting him to tell us another lie about what is going on.

"Well you should all head home and stay home for the night." He said as he got up from his seat. "Oh and don't forget to call me or come to my office at any time if anything else ever happens."

"Ok we will do that and I won't forget." I sighed as I realized that my day of touring the city and hanging with my friends has officially come to an end.

We walked out of the office and into the street where we all decided to voice our thoughts.

"So are we actually going to go home?" asked a sad Ino as her thoughts of a beautiful fun filled day were starting to disappear.

"Well I think we should but I really don't want to because that means that I have to be in a huge house by myself with a creepy stalker guy that is following Leigha and more than likely now following me and taking pictures." I said as I frowned just thinking about how this is so obviously connected to Leigha.

"I think we should have another sleepover but with all of us and at your house. That way we can still have fun, hang out, stay safe, and protect your little sister." exclaimed Hinata.

Everyone just stared at her.

"Well we don't have to. It was just an idea that came to my head." She said as she stared at the ground embarrassed by all of the attention.

"That is an excellent idea Hinata. How do you come up with all of these amazing ideas? So are you up to it Sakura?" asked Tenten as she looked around the group getting a whole bunch of agreed nods.

"Sure that sounds like a lot of fun." I said and smiled as I then realized that nothing would bring my happiness down at this moment.

"Ok great. Do we need to pick up Leigha or something?" asked an ecstatic Naruto who was literally jumping for joy.

"No Naruto, her friend's father is supposed to bring her home tonight." I laughed as he started to argue with Sasuke over how Naruto is such an idiot.

"Ok so let's get going." exclaimed Tenten and Ino together.

And thus the craziest, most fun filled night of our lives began and I don't mean creepy stalker crazy I mean a house full of whacky friends crazy.
