I am so sorry for not updating in so long! Please forgive me!

I'm going to try my best to keep all my fictions updated- and I was also thinking about what to do about the requests to turn this into a yaoi fic.

For those who want this story to stay NarutoXOC I'm going to keep this one going as it is. As for you yaoi lovers I will be putting a story up called Demon Sharingan. It will be the yaoi version of Serendipity.

Ok! So you guys look forward to Demon Sharingan- and I'll try my best to keep the two of them goin'.


Chapter FOUR

As Sakura walked down the street, she kicked a rock, hard. She sighed; it had been almost a week since that day in Tsunade's office. People had searched high and dry but nobody found anything. 'He's probably long gone by now….' She thought sadly. Everything was so confusing. Why did he act so strangely that day? It had only been a few days ago that her body stopped hurting. She kicked the rock again and it bounced it's way out of her reach. She was half tempted to walk over just so she could kick it once again, but she kept walking straight. Konoha was normal again, she thought as she made her way to the store. 'No…it's not…it was…but not anymore…' she thought.

She entered the store knowing that it was getting close to it's closing time. It was getting dark and she really needed to stop stalling.


Sakura decided to take a shorter route home. She had a single bag in her left hand, it's contents none to important to her at the moment. She stopped for a moment and looked up to the sky. There weren't many stars out, and the moon was almost full. Sakura stared at the moon for about a minute – and then she felt it: another presence.

She whirled around when she heard a slight growl. There was a man in front of her, and she didn't like the look he had on his face. His eyes were a bright green, and they seemed to glow. He stumbled forward, and the closer he got the more dangerous he seemed. He had fangs, she could seem them now as well as his claws.

The bag hit the ground and she went to grab her bag full of kunai knives. She let out an interesting squeak when she found the bag missing from her side. 'Oh no!' she looked around frantically. 'I dropped it! My knives – NO!' she brought her attention back to the man and he had gotten even closer. She began to look around for something- anything to fen him off. "Go away!" her voice was choice one, and it only cause him to growl. It was dark and she had nothing else so she stepped back, but then she was pushed.

Somebody else was there, and he pushed her behind him and then lunged forward like some…rabid animal. Sakura caught a glimpse of golden hair and it caused a smile and sigh of relief. He was still here. Not a moment later the man wasn't moving and on the ground and Naruto was picking up oranges from the ground and placing them carefully back into the plastic bag. He stood and held it out to her, careful of which hand he used to do so.

"Sakura..?" she was looking at him funny. She was dazed, zoned out…something…"Sakura." He said her name a bit louder this time.

"Huh?" she blinked out of it. "Oh…" taking the bag she thanked him, and he nodded before beginning to walk away. "Wait!" she called running to him. She passed at glance at the man on the ground as she went by him, and knew he was dead. His neck was missing a large chunk…as if a mid sized dog had bitten him. "Where are you going?" she asked.

"I am walking you home." He said it simply, his voice calm. "The streets of Konoha are not safe this night."

"What…was that guy?" she asked, walking beside him.

"A demon, I'm sure…" she looked up to him, but couldn't see much of his face. His bangs were still covering his right eye. After a few minutes of silence they arrived at Sakura's house. "Well…"

"No! Please…I want to talk to you…even if just for a little while…" she pleaded. "Please, go around the back of the house and go to my room on the second floor…the window should be open…" he stared at her for a moment, and then slowly started to make his way around the house. Sakura tried not to smile too big as she ran into her house.


Naruto looked at his new surroundings. This was the first time he has ever been in Sakura's house let alone her room. It was clean…as he had imagined it. Downstairs he could hear Sakura's mother asking about what had taken so long and that she was worried. He heard the sound of the bag's contents being put away as Sakura assured her mother everything was fine. This caused Naruto to smile lightly; up until now he never really had somebody worry that way. He knew the others would notice his absence soon, and he suddenly felt uneasy.

His ears picked up on Sakura's footsteps making their way to the door. He quickly checked himself over- a good idea on his part. The cloak he was wearing was dirtied with blood so he took it off and threw it out the open window. He was stuck wearing his black shirt and blue jeans, but that was just fine for this meeting. Being there for long was not his plan anyway. The door opened just as he sat down on the bed.

Sakura walked in and smiled- happy that he was actually there. Her hair was down, and she had two apples in her hand, "Hungry?" she asked as she pulled her desk chair over and sat across from him.

"No…but thank you…" she set both apples on her nightstand. The room then fell silent and neither really knew what to say. As Naruto looked around, she managed to think of a question,

"What's…wrong with your eye?" he immediately looked at her with his visible one.

"What do you mean?" he asked, his voice still very calm despite his sudden feeling that he really shouldn't have been there.

"Well…you're always hiding it…and I remember one of them saying something about it…" she leaned forward a bit, her hand making it's way to the hair that hid the right eye. She carefully watched his expression, and it stayed calm. Her hand lightly moved the hair over to the side, revealing that the eye was closed. Before she could ask him to – it opened.

The breath she didn't realize that she was holding escaped for a moment before she sucked it back in as a gasp. She was staring into a blood red eye. At first she thought that it was Sharingan, but the center was different. It was a slit, catlike, but the area around it was identical to the Sharingan.

"Naruto…what…" she watched as it pupil shrank and Naruto's attention turned to the door. He looked up quickly and he hand dropped.

"Sakura." It was Sasuke. She stood up, and Naruto disappeared as the door opened.

"Sasuke...what are you doing here?" she asked, he mind still stuck on what she had just seen. "Is something…wrong?"

"I was just making sure that you were alright…" he held out her shuriken bag. "Your mother made me look for you and when I found this I got a bit concerned."

"Oh…I see…thank you…I must have dropped it." He nodded welcoming her and after mumbling a goodnight he left. She didn't bother calling one back to him, she ran to her window by her bed. He wasn't by the bushes or by the side of the house. He wasn't in her tree…he wasn't even in sight. She sighed.

Naruto was gone…again….


There! I actually feel good now that I have updated...again I'm am sorry about my timing...
