Away with the Wind

Awww man I was going through my other fics and rereading them and like wondering which one I should update next cause I'm trying to finish them before working on a new one that i've been thinking about....and I stumbled on this one....and yeah. I know it says one shot...but I'm a good updating mood and I couldn't resist. R&R please! Flames are accepted too.
She remembered the first time she had ever seen him. It was brief, but that one encounter alone was enough. Enough to get her curiosity going until it was too late.
It was a regular day, just like any other. She had woken up, got dressed, and had eaten her usual oatmeal with sweet sakura pancakes, before leaving for school.
The halls were nearly empty, as she usually got there before everyone else. Finding her classroom, she dropped her stuff and preceded to wander around the quiet campus, smiling to herself.
This was her favorite part of the day. The grounds were so peaceful and as she rounded the corner she stopped at the sight of a dark clothed figure sitting on the ledge leading out to the school garden, leaning against the open sliding door.
She approached cautiously, not wanting to disturb the person, noticing on closer inspection that the person, or boy rather, had his eyes closed.
Suddenly in a blur, a kunai knife was thrown, and Sakura yelped as she tripped over her own foot, the knife hitting the wall behind her with a clash.
She fell hard, her knee hitting the ground sharply as her body continued it's descent to the floor. It was as though everything was in slow motion, as the next second she felt herself colliding with something warm.
"Ahhh..." She opened her eyes, wondering when they had closed and blinked. The boy had caught her. He helped her up so that she was sitting with her knee in his hand.
She could only stare as he reached into his back pocket and pulled out a bandage. After placing it gently on her knee, the boy looked up.
Sakura gasped as his red eyes faded into a sparkling onyx, which softened. "You're crying." He stated and reached out to catch a tear as it rolled down her cheek.
Sakura rolled her hands into loose fits and wiped her eyes. "Here." She opened her eyes and found a hand with a dark blue hanky.
With a shaky hand, she took it and wiped her eyes, snifling. "Thank you." She said softly, looking at the boy, half hiding behind the small, surprisingly soft cloth.
He gave a nod, before patting her head, and getting up. He helped her unto her feet and walked over to the wall, picking up the kunai.
Sakura could only watch as he walked away, suddenly shivering as a breeze blew ,bringing with it a swirl of leaves. She watched as it blew back out, away with the wind.
