Hey everyone, it's me again! I love working on this story! (Even though I think it's a bad idea staying up so late every night. A girl needs her beauty sleep!) So here's the next part of From Dark To Light. Enjoy

P.S…..The character Sota is just an extra character I created to be in the story as Sakura's parent figure.

*DISCLAIMER* I do NOT own any part of Naruto!

Previously on From Dark To Light:

"Honestly Sota, going to another new school, trying to find my way around, and trying to not attract a lot of attention….." I trailed off.

I could feel his eyes staring at me as we approached a red light. "No, Not at all."

Sakura's POV:

I Felt the car come to a halt and heard the engine go silent. "Come on Sakura, I'll walk you to the office." Together, hand in hand, Sota guided me to the office. After walking for a minute, we stopped. "Hello?" I heard Sota ask. "Hello, I'm Ms. Tsunade. I'm the principle at HLH. I assume that you are Sakura Haruno?" I turned to face the direction I heard the voice, "Yes, that's me." I stuck me hand out to the direction of the teacher and felt her shake my hand before letting go. "It's good you got here early so I could give you the books we ordered."

Early? I thought we were running late….. I thought to myself. I turned to face the man that was holding my hand. "Early?" I felt him tense as I squeezed his hand tighter and tighter in my grip. " Umm, I may have changed the time on your clock so that you would be early to school…..Please don't hurt me!" I just shook my head and turned to face Ms. Tsunade. "Thank you for ordering the books and I apologize for any inconvenience I may cause in the future. I don't want to attract a lot of attention so I was wondering if my…..disability can by kept a secret." I heard the principle chuckle slightly. "Don't worry Sakura, only the staff and myself know about it. Although, I am assigning a partner to you. She's a sweet girl, but she isn't aware of the situation. She thinks she's just helping you around a new school. It's your decision whether you tell her or not." After she said that, she said good-bye and left me and Sota alone in the middle of the hall. A minute later, I heard a soft clank of a heel coming my way.

"Hi, you must be Sakura Haruno, I'm Hinata Hyuga." The voice said. It was a mesmerizing voice, almost angelic like. I faced her and nodded, putting my hand out for her to shake. "Yeah that's me," I said with a warm smile that felt out of place. I'm smiling, that's weird. I don't smile. "Ms. Tsunade was just telling me that you're gonna be helping me around….Thanks." She said it was no problem and went to grab my schedule.

"Sota, I think I'm fine on my own now." I said to the silent friend beside me. I could feel his eyes on me before he replied, " Ok I'll be working so call me when I should come pick you up." I nodded but Sota kept talking, "Do you have your cane? Are you fine without your glasses on? Should I ask if you can bring Light next time?" I just stared straight ahead before saying, "Yes, Yes, and No. Don't worry Sota, I'll keep you updated if anything happens." He hugged me and said bye before I heard his shoes squeaking down the hall, back the way we came.

"Sakura, I got your schedule and guess what! It's the same as mine!" I heard Hinata exclaim. "That's cool Hinata!" I said. It's kind of weird, I thought. I'm interacting with Hinata more than anyone I've ever met…..besides Sota. Maybe we'll be friends and I can tell her my secret. I was still deep in thought when I heard a loud voice yell, "Hinata-chan!"

"H-H-Hey Naruto-kun!" replied a flustered Hinata. I heard the boy Hinata had called Naruto run up to her, and what sounded like people kissing. "Jeez Dobe, get a room." said a male voice. I heard the kissing stop as the boy, Naruto, said, "Why…Is Teme jealous?" the way he said it made me positive he was smirking. The other boy replied with a simple "hm" and went silent. "Umm, Hinata-chan, who's your friend?" Said Naruto. I kept my introduction short, "Hi, I'm Sakura." After saying that, I started listening to the sounds around me. When I lost me sight, my hearing and sense of smell got better.

The hallway was loud; to a point that it hurt my ears. I heard people yelling to each other, girls talking rapidly, a group laughing, people making out; it made my head throb. Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder, "Nice to meet you Sakura! I'm Naruto Uzumaki, Hinata's boyfriend." I nodded. He's right next to me, does he have to be so….. "And this here is my best friend!" ….loud!? Does he have to be so loud!? I put the two incomplete thoughts together. I waited for the best friend to say something. Nothing, only silence. Finally I nodded my head. Guess he's not much of a talker. "Sasuke Uchiha" the other voice suddenly said. We all stood there in awkward silence. "What.." he said again, "Got something against shaking my hand?" he said in an even tone. "Oh, Sorry." I stuck my hand out and felt him grab it.

I stood there probably looking like an idiot. "Hey Sakura, wanna meet the rest of our friends?" I turned to Hinata. I tried to imagine what she looked like. Long, dark hair, curvy figure, short? Short, blonde hair, thin, and tall? I had trouble picturing her. "The rest of your friends? Umm sure." I said with a twinge of nervousness. I never had friends, only Sota. "Great!" she said "There at our usual spot out in the garden, come on." I heard her call Naruto and Sasuke, and they started walking.

I just stood there, unsure of what to do. It's ok Sakura, you can do it alone. Use your ears. I smiled at how I encouraged myself. I slowly started walking, listening to he sound of Naruto's loud voice, Sasuke's "Hm-ing", and the sound of Hinata's heel that I heard earlier when I was with Ms. Tsunade. I heard them to my right, so I put my hand on the wall to use as a guide and followed them. A minute later, their voices became distant. Crap! I'm falling behind. I kept my hand on the wall but quickened my pace. Suddenly, I rammed right into someone and fell straight on my ass.

"Watch where you're going you pink-haired bitch!"
