Author: Merry Christmas to everyone out there! –coughs- And I finally managed to do a Naruto doujinshi on deviantart!

He looked up and blinked as the bright orange glow emitted from the sunset washed over his face.
Kabuto stood behind him, his glasses reflecting off the orange light as well.
"…It's time to go." He spoke to the boy.
"What makes you think I'm going?"
Kabuto smirked and crossed his arms.
"You want to see her, don't you?"
-
"Why are you staring at the phone, Kakashi?"
Shino moved noiselessly to the right, allowing Kakashi to notice him without having to turn around.
"… I just phoned someone, that's all."
Shino nodded. "About the Sasuke search…I was told that he was at school."
"At school?" Kakashi put down the phone he was holding, surprised.
"There's a school dance going on over there." Kiba said, walking over solemnly, his arms crossed as Akamaru followed at his heels.
"—And while you guys are chatting here, Temari's sitting in her room, extremely depressed." Shikamaru commented as he walked to the group.
Kakashi walked to the door. "There's a high possibility that Kabuto's at the dance as well." A gloved hand reached out and turned the doorknob. "Since he apparently had something to do with Sasuke's disappearance."
The door closed.
-
The black receiver hung loosely from the wire, threatening to drop off from the phone.
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
Neji came down from the stairs, his untied black hair dripping water as he held a towel over his head.
Made such a great impact, huh…
He looked at the window, smiling a little as he noticed the little bit of orange that was slowly vanishing over the horizon.
-
Sakura cringed, uncomfortable in her white dress as she held onto Ino's hand tightly.
"Geesh. Why are you so nervous?" Ino whispered, frowning at her friend's nervousness.
"This choker is cutting off my air supply!" Sakura moaned, tugging on the rose decoration which was situated at her neck.
"Ssh. We're here."
Sakura sweatdropped when she saw the flowery entrance, and noticed several boys around the area having the same reaction.
This is crazy.
"The designing committee did a great job, don't you think?" Ino grinned widely at her friend.
Sakura nodded mutely. Oh great. The chances of Sasuke coming are dipping into the negative.
Ino hummed a song as she skipped into the hall effortlessly with her long-inch high heels.
-
Pink petals floated about in the air as disgruntled 'volunteers' from the sides threw them from small ribbon-decorated baskets.
"Students, we declare the grand fair officially open. We do hope you enjoy yourselves!"
The round of applause and high-pitched cheering came from all around, while low groans were heard underneath.
Sakura looked around, hugging herself as she looked anxiously. Sasuke. Sasuke.
Where are you?
She bit her lip, hearing an instrumental song come on. Rhythmic footsteps echoed all around her, signaling—
I should get out of the way. Everyone's started dancing.
She walked cautiously around the crowd, not wanting to trip on her high heels, grabbing an orange drink from the table on the way.
…This is going to be one lousy night.
She leaned against the wall, sucking on her straw, her green eyes watching the dancing couples randomly.
"Sakura."
Sakura's eyes widened, and felt an ice-cold arm on her shoulders.
…Who…?
A gloved hand snatched her drink away and closed her mouth. "Don't speak. Don't turn around."
That voice…
She was pulled out onto the balcony, and the doors behind were snapped shut.
Sakura was stunned by the brightness of the moon for a moment, and felt the arm leaving her shoulders. Anxiously, she turned around, hoping that it was—
Red eyes glowed in the darkness as a lazy cloud drifted over the moon, blocking out the light source temporarily.
"Sasuke…?"
-
I killed Iruka.
I killed Iruka.
I killed Iruka.
Naruto walked aimlessly through the park, sitting himself on a bench.
..Why…?
He stared at the lamppost in front of him, blinked, and curled himself up.
Naruto heard Kakashi's voice in his head, going for the thousandth time…
It wasn't your fault…
His shoulders trembled violently as he buried his blonde head in his arms, feeling and tasting the salty tears running down his face.
-
"…Where did you go…?" Sakura asked taking a step towards the boy. "I was… worried about you…"
Sasuke didn't reply.
"Answer me…"
Don't cry, you idiot. Stop crying!
"Sas"—
Her high heels stepped on the hem of her dress, making her trip over.
"Ow"—
Sasuke went forward and grabbed both of her arms. "Forget about me."
Sakura looked up. "Wha"—
-
Ino looked around. "Where's Sakura…?"
"More importantly, where are Sasuke and Naruto?" A fellow female classmate went, pouting.
"Ha-ha…" Ino grinned. "God knows."
"…!"
A grey-haired, bespectacled teenager walked past the crowd with seeming ease, smiling to himself as he did so, in front of Ino's eyes. It lasted for about ten seconds.
"Huh? Who's that?"
"Who's what?" The classmate asked, blinking.
"That grey-haired guy…"
"You're dreaming, Ino."
-
Sakura closed her eyes tightly, noticing how cold Sasuke had become.
Literally.
Is he really… a vampire…?
Sasuke pulled himself away from Sakura, his hands still gripping onto hers tightly.
"Stop crying." He whispered.
Sakura looked down, realizing the coldness which was lingering around her flushed face.
"Why did you… do that?"
There was a pause, and Sasuke let go of her, standing up. He turned, covering the lower part of his face with his hand, scarlet irises glinting furiously.
"I... don't know."
Author: I may be doing this scene into a comic page. I really want to draw Sakura wearing her dress... And Sasuke in his... um... -visualizes- gothic clothes. (Gothic clothes... That just sounds so... -sweatdrops-)
