Disclaimer & Such: I'm sorry, dear readers. It has seemed that I've been too expecting in what I have written, and for that I apologize. I asked for 25+ reviews and one of the first ones I read pointed out that it was only my first chapter. I really am quite sorry and hope that you all forgive me. It's just that I don't receive emails from much of anyone, and I like to, sure I get texted every second of my life, but I like emails too. So I really am sorry, review how you would like…honestly I was plesently surprised to get 5 reviews, I thought that if I asked for 40, I may get 10, if I asked for 25, I may get 5. I really was only expecting 5 or a few more/less its reverse-physcology my friends…I think that's what its called anyway…oh well, I don't own Naruto, read on!

'thinking'

"talking"

Sakura woke to a fuzzy room, blind…BLINDE?! She quickly shot up and…

"WHY THE HELL AM I BLINDE?!" She screamed. But once it was out of her mouth, a flash went on above her head, it was a light, a very dim one, you could just make out the person as a lighter blob.

"Because the lights are off, but now since they're on, you can see again!! I'm happy your awake! But Sasuke won't be glad, or he may be because he hates you, don't worry he hates everyone. Ah, ah I bet your hungery, want some food?! RAMEN! Lets have ramen! Ramen, Ramen, Ramen, Ramen, Ramen, Ramen, Ramen, Ramen, Ramen, RAMEN!!!" A voice said in fount of her, now whatever it was it was bouncing around and jumping in circles.

Events of the past night snapped back into her head and she realized that this wasn't…who wasn't it? Someone she knew before but couldn't remember, and she wasn't in her bedroom. Sakura looked around and saw that she was sitting on a bed against a wall in a strange room.

"Eep!" Sakura…eeped…and recoiled against the back of the wall on the bed, as far away from this stranger, this…thing, as she could. Her Father never, NEVER, aloud her to be loud, what would happen now? She had just screamed.

Sakura buried her head in her knees that were pulled into her chest. 'Father's going to beat me again…' she thought. 'I'm not aloud to talk even near him, what will he do now, I bet he sold me, or we moved again, I knew that he would sell me…'

The boy had since stopped jumping around and looked at the girl who was huddled up against the back of the bed, shaking.

"Ne, ne, Sakura?! Are you alright?" The boy asked.

'Sakura…? He knows my name? He worries about if I'm ok…'

"Ne, Sakura, are you okay?" The boy asked again.

Sakura still didn't move so Naruto got on the bed and sat criss cross in front of her, Sakura felt the weight on the bed and looked up slightly to see a blonde in her face.

"Ahhh! W-who are-e you..!!" Sakura clapped her hand against her mouth in realization that she had done it again, now for sure Father would beat her. Sakura lowered her eyes and waited to be punished.

"Sakura, what are you doing…?" No answer. "You can talk you know, I don't bite…well I suppose I do but I won't bite you!" Sakura hesently looked up and saw a smile on the blonde's face, she couldn't help I, she knew it was wrone, but Sakura giggles at him, then she saw his fangs again.

"Wha-what are you? Where's Father, when will he be back?" Sakura asked, last nights memory was quite…foggy, as if someone had erased it. All that she remembered is that there were three people and she was talking to them, first she was scared, then really happy, then scared again.

The boy looked downcast, like he had to deliver some bad news.

"I'm sorry, Sakura, but Sasuke-Teme killed your dad last night, we told you that, but he had to, you don't understand--" Naruto said, then he remembered how she reacted to when Sasuke said he had killed her father, then how she would not talk now, how she didn't meet his eyes when she did.

"You…you didn't like your dad, did you?" Naruto asked gently.

"Is he really gone?" Sakura said, she couldn't remember at all, last night…something happened but she really didn't know.

"Yeah, don't worry." Naruto said.

Sakura let out a deep breath and looked up at him, she smiled, a lot, brightly.

"In that case, no more wallowing in self-pity! No more! I refuse to be dependent on someone, I never was before, why start now?! I'm free of Father, I can start new, right…uhhh…?" Sakura suddenly lost all of her motivation and looked at Naruto with a blank look.

"Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki and your Sakura Haruno!!" He said, just at excitedly.

Sakura ignored the fact that he knew both her first and last name and they went on shouting things like "Sakura has a new life!" "I'm free of Father!" When suddenly…

"That means you can live here with us!" Naruto said, excitedly, "Kakashi already said it was fine, I begged him, he doesn't really care, and who cares what the Teme thinks!" Sakura looked up and they were both looking at each other right on talking.

"Yay! That means I'll be living with Vampires!" Sakura said without thinking. Then she realized what she said, and that it was true.

Naruto was still talking and saying things like, "Yea, Vampires!"

"You really are a Vampire, Naruto?" Sakura asked, afraid that she would have offended him.

Naruto smiled big, showing off his fangs, real proud, and now offended in the least. Sakura smiled, then suddenly Naruto pulled her in closer until his mouth was inches away from her neck, but Sakura wasn't afraid, instead she shivered.

"Don't worry, Sakura, I won't bit you." Naruto said huskily, letting whisps of his hot breath trail over her neck, sending shivers around her.

"Judging from the noise she's up—WOAH! DID NOT NEED TO SEE THAT!!!" A voice form the doorway said.

Kakashi had entered and saw Naruto on the bed, facing a girl on the bed hugging her knees and he was either biting her neck or kissing it…or talking, Sakura immediately turned red and pushed him off and onto the floor.

"Ne, ne, Kakashi, it's alright! I was just telling my new friend Sakura something here!" He shouted, getting up and standing near the wall.

"Be a little quieter, Naruto, we don't want Sasuke to--" Kakashi got interrupted by a dark voice behind him.

"We don't want Sasuke to what? Kakashi." The voice said, just then Sasuke came in to see Naruto standing near the bed and Sakura sitting on it, her feet hanging over the edge, and Kakashi, who had since jumped in to get away from Sasuke, just kinda standing there, looking at him.

There was a moment of alkward silence, then.

"Why is your nose broken?" The girl said, Sakura, he remembered, that was her name.

Just then fury overtook Sasuke and he began to charge at Sakura. Kakashi blocked him and Naruto gad picked her up as if she weighed nothing and put her behind him.

"YOU!" Sasuke screamed in rage at the girl, expecting her to back up in fear of him, or to fall immediately in love with him, because of his looks.

Actually everyone expected her to scream or cry, I mean, she had a raging Vampire coming after her! But no, she and Naruto had just said it, she wasn't going to be afraid now, he Father was gone.

Instead Sakura poked her head from behind Naruto and said:

"It looks kinda funny! Who did that to you? Or did you just walk into wall, you look like the kinda person who would do that." Sakura said. Kakashi let Sasuke down, he was laughing so hard and Naruto fell onto the floor, he was going to die laughing.

But Sasuke wasn't laughing, he took the opportunity and in a flash his hand was around her neck and she was pressed against a wall, being held up by Sasuke with just one hand.

Now, NOW, she would be frightened, she would beg for mercy, scream in pain then slowly fall to death, only for Sasuke to let her go. That's what he expected, but no, instead…

"Judging from your hatred toward me, I think that I probably did that, eh? Well I'd say I'm sorry, but I don't remember anything about last night, so I don't think that I will." Sakura smiled brightly.

Sasuke's grip on her tightened and she was running out of air, but Sakura refused to cough, to choke, that would just make him happy to see her in pain.

"Fine then, if you have to be a sore loser, I'm sorry, Sasuke." Sakura said, and she truly did look it, "I don't like to hurt people but I bet that you did something first, epically since my wrist hurts more than usual."

Sasuke let her go and dropped her to the floor walking away, Kakashi and Naruto had been in shock at her outwardness that they didn't help her, but now Naruto helped her up and Kakashi stood in between them.

"Whatever." Sasuke said and stormed out of the room.

"Soooooo," Kakashi said, braking the awkward silence. "Your gonna live here I guess, Naruto already invited you I take it. Are you going to, because if you don't then we'll have to kill you…" he said, then seeing Naruto and Sakura's expression, "Or erase your memory, that too." He finished.

"Well, if its no trouble, I would like to stay here, I don't really have a place to go since I wasn't aloud out of the house ever, I can cook and clean if you want me to, I will, since I don't want to be trouble." She said.

Kakashi and Naruto were both drooling.

"What the hell are you two doing?" She asked, wondering what she had said.

"You said you can cook…!!!" Kakashi said.

"We've been having takeout and well…blood for years and years, I don't remember the last time we had cooked food at home, I don't even know if we have a kitchen!" Naruto exclaimed.

The three of them talked for a while longer, talking about where she would sleep and everything about the house rules, there was none, and about the people who lived there, there was five all together. Naruto, Kakashi, Sasuke, Sakura (now), and Itachi.

"Itachi, you most likely won't see him often, if ever. But if you do see him, I wouldn't talk to him or anything and come back to one of us, he's a little…crazy." Naruto said, earning a giggle from Sakura.

"Naruto what is up with the light in your room, I can't see a damn thing in here!" Kakashi exclaimed at he tripped over something at the three of them walked out the door.

"But your Vampires, shouldn't you be able to see in the darkness?" Sakura inquired.

"Yeah, but it's something that we have to try to do, it doesn't just happen, sure its easy, but won't see detail then, just… its kinda like black and white, just to see out…targets." Kakashi explained

"Not to mentain we're too lazy to if we don't have to." Naruto said.

The three of them went out into the hall and turned the light on there, it was bright and everyone could see everything.

Kakashi was leading and Naruto was behind Sakura. They were going to the kitchen, because they were all hungry and Kakashi wanted to show Naruto that it actually did exist.

They came to a room and Kakashi pushed aside the door to reveal a huge kitchen, it was dusty and dirty, but it was HUGE!

Sakura walked in and ran around looking at everything. It was like one of those huge fancy restaurant kitchens! Kakashi and Naruto watcher her back as she ran around looking at everything, then she turned around to face them and…

…

…

…

They hadn't seen it earlier, because it was so dark and she hadn't complained.

They hadn't seen it last night, because it was dark and they really didn't care then.

But Sakura's face, was covered in bruises, it was scratched and there was even a burn mark.

Kakashi couldn't see her arms or lets because she had on a long sleeved shirt and long pants, but he expected that the rest of her body was just like her face, Naruto didn't get it though.

They looked at her neck and there was a bruise forming, already purple and blue, like a hand, like Sasuke's hand. There was another mark like it on her wrist, like someone had grabbed her.

"S-Sakura?! What happened?!" Naruto shouted.

'Idiot, she sayd she hates her Father and when we tell her he's dead she's happy, what the hell do you think happened?' Kakashi thought, but didn't say anything.

"Oh, this? My Father just got angry sometimes at me or the world. You know, after he does drugs or something like that, nothing important." She waved it off like it was nothing, like she was brought up with it.

"TEME!!" Naruto shouted when he realized that the thing on her neck was from when Sasuke had choked her, and the one on her wrist was from him too, most likely.

Sasuke chose that time to enter, Sakura had since turned and was looking around the kitchen while Naruto and Kakashi were yelling at Sasuke for a minute. Then they pulled him out of the room and yelled at him out there.

Sakura turned around to find herself alone in the kitchen, but she didn't mind, Sakura found a broom and other cleaning supplies and began cleaning the place that she would cook at.

The three guys entered again, Sasuke being dragged and they pushed him into her back, Sakura turned around and looked up at him.

"Hi Sasuke! Looks like I'll be cleaning and cooking around here more often! Naruto said that he loves ramen so what do you like? Kakashi told me that he likes---" Sakura continued talking to him while he looked at her neck, then her wrists.

He could faintly hear her talking to him and even fainter hear Kakashi and Naruto saying how fast she cleans, it was true, the kitchen was already a lot cleaner than before.

'How could a girl like her not cry out, look at her neck! That could've killed her! I had a lessen grip on her Father last night and he got knocked out because of it!'

Sakura had since moved away and asked Kakashi and Naruto if he was alive.

"I dunno, hey, lets poke him!" Naruto said, so Naruto and Sakura got metal spoons from a drawer and began poking him.

Since he was irresponsive, Naruto poked him real hard and Sasuke's instincts came over as he snapped back to reality. He grabbed a wrist, the closest one to him and hauled the person up in the air.

He looked up and heard a giggle.

"Nope! He's not dead, Naruto, he's still alive, though I don't think you should have poked him that hard, look! It's forming a bruise on his arm, riiiight there." Sakura said and gently put two fingers over the spot where Naruto had pretty much hit him with a spoon.

Sasuke was taken back by her gentleness to his skin after what he had done to her. He let her land back on her feet on the ground and stalked out of the room.

"Grouchy pants." Sakura said under her breath. "Welllll I'm going to clean the kitchen now!!" She exclaimed happily to the two other boys.

They saw her happy expression and decided to drop the subject from earlier…for now.

Kakashi left and Naruto came up to her.

"Ne, Sakura, how old are you anyways?" He asked the rosette haired girl in front of him.

"17, how about you? How are the three of you and that other person, Itani, Ita…Ita, Itachi?" She asked, forgetting the other's name.

"We're the same age, Sakura! Sasuke too but who cares about him? Uhh, Kakashi's 19 and Itachi is too, I think, he's even more of a Teme than Sasuke it."

"Oh, well, ok." Sakura said and continued cleaning. "So, you like ramen, what do the others like?"

"Sasuke, for some odd reason, loved tomatoes, he'll eat anything with tomatoes in it, anything and Kakashi…well he'll eat just about anything as long as its food and it tastes good."

"Good to know, well…before I start cleaning, um…could you show me where my room is?" Sakura blushed at her forgetfulness, "I kinda forgot."

Naruto laughed and told her to follow him. They went around many twists and turns and Came to a room next to the room she was in before.

"My room is to the left, Sasuke's right in front of yours and Kakashi's is to the left. There are bathrooms in the room and theres a bed and everything there…but uh we didn't get you any clothes from your house…eh hehe." Naruto said laughing a nervous laugh with one hand behind his head.

"Oh. Well, uhhh…" Sakura said.

"There are clothes in your drawers in your room, Sakura." Kakashi's voice said from his room. "I didn't know what kind of clothes you liked, but I got you a girl's version of what we where." He said then stopped, "Man, I really coulda worded that better, couldn't I have?" He laughed and came out and went in her room, followed by Naruto and Sakura.

Kakashi opened the drawers and showed Sakura what he had put in there. They were dark clothes, blacks, purples and reds, mostly. But there was some pinks and lime-like colors.

"I have a pretty good eye, I guessed your size, but I think I got the right ones." He stated, then looking away as Sakura looked at them.

"I love them! Thanks Kakashi!" Sakura said and gave him a hug, he lightly blushed as she released him, though it was hidden by a mask he always wore.

"But I think that I'll have to go to the store myself for…other things." Sakura said carefully.

"Like what?" Naruto asked, Kakashi was trying not to laugh and Sakura raised an eyebrow. "Common guys, like what?!" Naruto said, ever the oblivious one.

Sakura took a deep breath and Kakashi hit his own head. Then he leaned into Naruto's ear and whispered something. Naruto turned red, Sakura turned red, then Kakashi…well he had gotten over it so he left.

"Yeeeahhhh." Sakura said.

"Oh." Naruto replied, "Right, that stuff, well, um, yeah! You can do that whenever you want, we'll just give you money and bring you there!" Naruto said, getting over his embarrassment.

"Ok, thanks, Naruto! But ummm…" Sakura said.

"Yeah?"

"I'm going to take a shower now so if oyu could, you know, get out so that I could change that's be great." Sakur said.

"Oh, alrighty then, see you soon, Sakura, I'll be looking at the kitchen! I'm still surprised we have one!" He said and walked out, muttering something about why he had to embarrass himself all the time.

Well, what do you think? I know, I know, the introductions were sudden and if it was anyone normal they'd be freaking out right now, but I can't have three chapters for her to become friends with them and get over her fear of them, now can I? no, I can't well thanks again for reading. Sorry again, for being harsh, I'll be happy to get one review after what happened lasts time, until next chapter- Bye!
