Don't own Naruto.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Sasuke!" Sakura yelled out as she ran, looking in every corner for Sasuke. The rain poured down on her umbrella and trickled off of it's edges. Sakura's shoes were soaked down to the sock as she ran through puddles. Her eyes darted to and fro, and she looked for a large house. "Sasuke!" He's gonna catch a cold out here!

Sasuke, who wasn't even heading home, dashed through every puddle, splashing up on him. His usually spiky hair didn't stay up and his bangs were more in his face than usual. No jacket, no umbrella, just shorts and a T-shirt. He looked down at his soaking feet as he ran. The rain was cold. He was freezing. The rain streamed down his face, making an illusion of tears. He kept running, but heard an echo of his name, making him stop in his footsteps. Ugh...it's probably Sakura! I don't care!

"SASUKEEE! What are you doing out here in the rain!" he saw a figure in orange running towards him. Good, it's not Sakura. It's that dobe Naruto...

"Never mind that, just hurry up and open the damn umbrella." Sasuke ordered. Naruto opened a second umbrella for Sasuke as he signaled for him to follow to his house. Sasuke followed next to Naruto and they quickly arrived at Naruto's, Sasuke taking off his shirt and drying off with a towel.

"So, did you ask her out and she rejected you?"

"No."

"Did you say something perverted?"

"No."

"Did you DO something perverted?"

"No."

"Did you burn her house down?"

"It's raining dumbass."

"Oh. Well, what happened?"

"None of your buisiness."

"Is too my buisiness! C'mon, I thought we were friends!"

"Hn."

"I hate it when you ignore me..." Naruto sighed and got up from the couch that he and Sasuke were sitting on. He went into his kitchen and came back with two sodas, giving one to Sasuke.

"I don't like when you don't tell me anything." Naruto took a sip of his soda.

"Hn."

"...is that all you can say?"

"Yes."

"You said something else!"

"...hn."

Back to Sakura, she was wandering in the rain, looking for Sasuke.

"SASUKE!" she ran until her breath was out. "I just wanted to say sorry..." she whispered to herself. She kept running until she came about a closed off area of houses. It was empty, no lights on in the houses, and blood all over. Sakura walked through the bent metal pole and ripped signs blocking the way into the place. She shivered when she passed by the blood on the ground. How long has this been here? It looks quite a few years old and they haven't destroyed it yet? There's so much blood...what is this place? What happened?

Sakura walked through this unknown territory with constant vigilance and just walked through it, clutching her umbrella tight. There were broken windows, doors off their hinges, roofs in shambles, splinters of wood, and a crack in a symbol on the wall. I'd better get out of here...it's really spooking me out...Sakura heard movement, and turned around to see only a cat. There's something else moving...

"Who's there?" Sakura turned every way, but saw no one. "I said who's there?" two teenage boys from their school came out from behind a house.

"Well, I see you caught us. But that doesn't mean you can beat us. Give us your money and valuables or else we'll beat you up!" Sakura backed up. She didn't have any money with her, but they wouldn't believe her...

"I-I-I don't have any money."

"What's the matter, scared of us? C'mon, girls like you carry around lotsa money all the time!" the other boy piped in.

"Are you suggesting I'm a rich brat? Cuz I-I'm not! And I'm n-not scared, I'm ju-just cold..." she stammered on her words.

"Those clothes you're wearing look pretty expensive..."

What the hell? He wants your clothes now! Inner Sakura screamed out.

This guy's a perv! I'm not giving him my clothes!

"No way I'm giving them to you, pervert!"

"Uh...I didn't mean give them to me...my point was that you're a rich brat."

"What are you doing here?" Sakura asked.

"Nonya buisiness. You?"

"Looking for someone. And they're not here. So I'll be leaving."

"No you're not! Who in their right mind would think to look here anyway?"

"Well, the person I was looking for happens to live alone, so I though maybe they'd be here."

"Well, they're not, so give us you damn money."

Back at Naruto's, Sasuke had a strange feeling something bad had happened to Sakura. He knew she was looking for him. And she could be anywhere. Gangs liked to hang out when it rains in their town. (A/N:Strange town, huh?)

"Naruto, I think something's wro--" Sasuke was cut off by a distant scream. "What the hell was that?"

"We have to go help that girl!"

"Sounds like it was coming from the abandoned area of town...since it's most of that side of town."

"Alright, let's go!" Naruto and Sasuke ran out without grabbing umbrellas or ponchos. (A/N:YES Sasuke is wearing a shirt now...)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm calling it a town. Because I can. There were be humor again soon, I promise. Naruto had a little comedy relief in this, but the random funniness will return soon...Sorry it took so long to update this chappie, I've been away!
