A/N: What is an AU?

Chapter Three: Nightly meeting

Sakura walked the dark street with her stuff in her hands. (A/N: It's around ten o'clock at night.) The entire street was empty and dark except for the flashing lamps that will go out soon. 'It's getting pretty dark,' thought Sakura. "What? Don't tell me you're afraid of the dark?" asked Inner Sakura. 'Of course I'm not afraid of the dark,' stated Sakura but obviously was lying. She was practically shivering and had a scared look on her face.

Sakura continued walking down the street and passed the Icharaku ramen shop. It was still open. She stopped to look at the shop and was surprised to not see Naruto there stuffing his face with ramen. "Naruto's probably at home eating instant ramen or something," said Inner Sakura. 'Yeah probably.'

Sakura turned her head and walked forward until she heard something moving in the bush. 'What was that?' thought Sakura. "Don't know. Probably a stray squirrel or something," Said Inner Sakura. 'Yeah, probably just a squirrel,' said Sakura. She was still unconvinced and was scared of the thing behind the bush.

Sakura took one last look at the squirrel and turned her head when suddenly a figure popped out of the bush. "Hello Sakura-chan," the mysterious figure said. It was really dark outside and Sakura couldn't see the mysterious figure. The only street light was above Sakura and the figure was away from the light.

'How does he know my name," thought a really freaked out Sakura. "I don't know but if he gets any closer we kick his ass," said Sakura. 'Yeah. I like that plan,' thought Sakura ready to kick someone's ass. The figure got closer and Sakura finally saw who it was.

It was Naruto. "Naruto? What are you doing here?" asked Sakura. "I was at Icharaku eating ramen when I saw you and thought I'd say hi. I didn't scare you, right?" said Naruto. "Oh. Of course you didn't scare me," said Sakura. "Yeah, right. You were practically shivering and got scared out of your wits," said Inner Sakura. 'Shut up!' said Sakura, who was embarrassed that she got scared so easily.

"Where you're going Sakura-chan? You're not leaving Konoha, right?" Said Naruto. "Please don't leave me alone with Sasuke-teme." "Of course I'm not leaving Konoha, Naruto. I'm going to live with the Hyuugas for a few weeks," explained Sakura. "Oh. Why are you going to live with the Hyuugas, Sakura-chan?" asked Naruto.

"My parents are in a mission in Suna for a few weeks so they decided to make live with the Hyuugas for the next few weeks," said Sakura. "Why couldn't you live with Ino-pig or Tenten?" asked a confused Naruto. "Probably because Ino-pig is going to be busy with the flower shop and I don't really know Tenten that well," explained Sakura.

Sakura-chan, can I ask you a favor, asked Naruto. "Yeah, what is it?" "Um… I wanna ask Hinata-chan on a date but I don't know how." "I'll tell you tomorrow. I need to go to the Hyuuga mansion. They're probably waiting for me," said Sakura. "Ok, bye Sakura-chan!" said Naruto.

Naruto and Sakura walked passed each other and walked to their destination. "Finally Naruto realized Hinata's feelings for him." Sakura walked until she finally reached the Hyuuga mansion. 'We're finally here' thought Sakura. "Welcome to our hellhole."
