Hey guys here is chapter four! I'm so excited this story is really progressing a lot s faster than I thought. I'd like to thank all the lovely people who left me a review and told me what they thought about the story. I had people begging me to reveals some of Sakura's past *coughcherryblossom08cough* so I decided to throw you a bone. Now without further ado I present the cherry blossom herself to give you the summary and disclaimer.

Sakura: Thank you Author-Sama! Now for the summary!

Summary: While out late one night being dragged around by his goofball friend Naruto, Sasuke suddenly feels like they are being followed. Next thing he knows is that they are surrounded by strange beings that clearly aren't human. One of them tries to attack and kill him when he is rescued by someone that oddly reminds him of his school principal based on her hair style choice. He learns the girl's name is Sakura and that she isn't alone, there are four others. Tenten, Ino, Hinata, and Sakura are a team joined together to fight the creatures that lurk in the night. They are known as the Midnight Assassins. After their impromptu rescue Hinata is injured and they disappear into the night. Sasuke can't help but wonder if he'll see his pink haired savior again, but he's in for a shock as our beautiful assassin is now attending school with him but she is hiding a secret what is it? Will Sasuke figure it out before he falls for her? As he peruses trying to find out he is slowly making her fall for him as well.

Sakura: Author-Sama does not own the original plot line for Naruto characters! She dose own this plot line however!

Chapter 4 New Recruits and Hidden Truths

Sasuke's P.O.V.

Sakura hadn't been in school for two days now and for reasons I can't fathom this bothers me excessively. I tried asking her friends but the only things I would hear are "keep your shirt on she'll come back, she's fine", and my least favorite don't "worry about it". It was driving me crazy, if she doesn't show today I'm going to talk to Tsunade. Maybe she will give me some answers. I was too caught up in my thoughts so I didn't notice the Dobe come up to me. Not until he shouted in my ear anyways.

"HEY SASUKE-TEME, DID YOU HEAR? SAKURA-CHAN IS COMING BACK TO SCHOOL TODAY"! I slapped my hands over my ears and attempted to rub my hearing back into them. Then I punched him on the back of his head. " OWWW, what was that for Teme? That hurt"!

He continued to rub his head and tried to win the glaring contest with me when it dawned on me what he'd said. "What, how did you know that? Who told you"? His eyes twinkled with mischief as he contemplated on whether or not he should tell me. "I'll say this once Dobe, if you don't tell me I'll punch you on your head again". He slapped his hands over his head so fast it was pretty funny. "No, no don't hit me I'll tell you, Hinata-Chan told me a few minutes ago when I texted her".

I never thought Naruto would go for such a shy girl or that she would even be interested. I've been wrong before, not that I'll ever admit it out loud, but it's still happened.

There was still something that bugged Neji and I about the shy bluenette. She looked so much like Neji it was ridiculous He said it was possible that she could be related. After all when he was seven a major part of his family was attacked and they had two daughters but the body of the oldest was never found. He couldn't be sure as he never met the girl and could no longer remember her name but was pretty sure it started with an 'H'.

I was drawn out if my thoughts once again by a loud commotion at the door. The majority of the guys had left their seats and were surrounding a figure who stood at the door trying to enter the classroom. Suddenly the girl Tenten left her seat by Neji and went over to the doorway and started shouting. "MOVE YOUR ASSES LET HER THROUGH, YOU FUCKING MORONS"! I raised my eyebrows at this. She was acting like a combination of Naruto and my brother's friend Hidan. The fuck is going on?

Sakura's P.O.V.

I was getting really pissed off. The second I had stepped into the school I was surrounded by mostly boys and a few girls. They kept asking me where I had been and how I'd broken my arm. Alright enough is enough. I pulled out my phone and sent a text to Tennie asking her to help me clear a path so I could finally enter the classroom. Not a minute later I heard her telling people to move and they finally parted for me to enter.

The second I entered the classroom I immediately felt Sasuke's eyes on me. According to the girls he had been trying to get them to say anything about my whereabouts, but being the loyal friends they are, they hadn't said a word per my request. As I locked eyes with him my mind drifted back to the conversation I'd had with Itachi this morning.

FLASHBACK!

Ugh I'm so tired of being in this room, when do I finally get to leave? I was still complaining in my head when a knock sounded on the door followed by a question. "Sakura-San it's Itachi, may I come in? I have something I need to discuss with you". A minute passed while I deliberated before telling him the door was open and to come in.

He came in quietly and shut the door behind him. "You know my Otouto right"? I nodded my head and he continued. "Well he and his friends are very skilled and I think it's time he joined the organization. As you know the Uchihas come from a very long line of vampire hunters dating back to the very first Uchiha. Along with the Uzumakis, Hyugas, and Naras.

It was because of a request from you that their memories of any training and knowledge of the vampire world was sealed away. Since the Harunos were the most powerful and you are the last you request was honored, I don't mean to dispute your decision but as the last Haruno I formally ask a request of you. Haruno-Sempai would you please reconsider your decision and allow them to become the hunters they were born to be"?

Whatever I had been expecting it certainly wasn't that. I had made this choice the day Tsunade took me in because no child should be forced to go through what I did, but looking on it know I had to remind myself that we were no longer children. Itachi is right it is time they take up their rightful places in this world. Tsunade is going to tell the others after school, while I tell Sasuke during lunch.

In order to explain I am going to have to disclose a painful peace of my past and what led me to what I am today. I won't give him the whole story and I won't tell him about my families secrets about what exactly happened that night. I will have to tell him what I am though. *sigh* this is not going to be easy.

END OF FLASHBACK!

I gave him a small smile and watched as a frown settled on his features as he took in the cast on my right arm. Good thing Tsunade made me learn to write with both hands otherwise doing homework and schoolwork would be a pain in the ass.

I took my seat next to him and pulled out a sheet of paper and scribbled a quick note.

Meet me on the roof during lunch. I have something I need to tell you.

A minute later the paper was handed back to me and this was scrawled in his neat handwriting.

What is it? Why were you gone for two days? What happened to your arm? Are you finally going to tell me about what happened that night? I'm glad your back and okay.

Aww, I couldn't help it he was concerned about me! How cute.

Sorry can't tell you right now. I think it's kind of obvious what happened. Why were you worried about me?

I watched from the corner of my eye as he furiously scribbled his reply. Ooh looks like I hit a nerve, heehee. This should be fun!

NOO, who would be worried about you? I'm just waiting for that explanation you owe me that's all.

Cocky bastard heh, see if I tell him anything now.

Oh yeah? See if I tell you anything. Why don't you do me a favor and get that stick out of your ass, then maybe I'll talk to you, asshole.

I balled the paper up and threw it at his forehead and turned to the broad and put my head down and pretended to fall asleep. It's not like I need to study or anything. If I wanted I could have tested out of high school when I was in seventh grade. Yes I'm that smart. I'm not number one ranked in the nation for nothing you know. Sasuke and a kid named Shikamaru are right behind me. I heard the Shikamaru guy goes here as well. Maybe I'll meet him.

I wasn't really mad at Sasuke, I just thought his reaction would be amusing if I ignored him until lunch. I was right, I watched out of the corner of my 'closed' eyes as he glared holes in his desk and silently fumed as he tried everything short of yelling to get my attention. Yup I'm right sat too funny.

I will probably hear about it from him later but I couldn't care less right now. So I decided to take a nap for real.

Lunch time came around much to quickly for my liking and before I knew it I found myself waiting on the roof for him to show up. I didn't have fourth hour with him but going on what I heard from Hinata who had been told by that loudmouth Naruto, he had been in a foul mood since this morning. I was probably going to hear about it when he came up here but I don't care it's too much fun watching him squirm.

Sasuke's P.O.V.

I can't believe this! No girl has EVER told me to pull something out of my ass. Especially not one as beautiful as Sakura. Wait when did I start thinking if her as beautiful? It really doesn't matter what the girl looks like, they always fall at me feet. Except for some reason Sakura and her friends don't. I nodded to Itachi as I passed him in the hall in my way to the roof to see what Sakura had to tell me.

I reached the last step and pushed the door open. As I stepped out onto the pavement I looked up at the sky. It was very overcast and cloudy. It's probably going to rain soon. Glancing around I didn't see Sakura anywhere, she wasn't here. Great, she ignores me all morning and then doesn't show up to a place she asked me to meet her at. I turned around to go back inside when u heard her soft voice. "Up here Sasuke, sorry I didn't see you come out I was lost in thought". With that said she gracefully jumped down from the little building that hid the stairs from view. When she landed I noticed she'd taken off her vest and opened her button up blouse all the way and her red spaghetti strap shirt was visible. The wind lifted the edges of her shirt and skirt and it fluttered around in the gentle breeze. It was a little chilly up here and she could get sick like that, didn't she care? "Aren't you cold? It's chilly up here, you could get sick". I glanced down at her arm that was cased in her red cast. Well what I could see if it was red. There were many signatures and drawings all over it.

"I appreciate the concern but I don't get sick nor do I feel the cold. It doesn't affect me". She lifted the cast up to my eye level. "This was Ino's idea she said everybody should decorate their first cast so I let her talk me into it".

"Right I should start by telling you about that night. You were attacked by a being called a vampire, they are the creatures that are believed by the greater population of humans to exist only in stories. They are real, and a major problem. In the last thirty years there has been an explosion in the vampire population, and it is me and my friend's job to stop it. Basically we are vampire hunters".

I watched as she paused to let me soak in all this information. I wanted to say she was a liar but I had seen the proof for myself. Something was bugging me though why did she talk about humans as if she wasn't one? Then I remembered her eyes changing colors and the glints of sharp teeth in her mouth. She wasn't human at least not entirely anyway. I needed her to confirm my theory though. So I would have the story straight.

"Why do you refer to humans as if you aren't one"? She sighed and looked at me with her green eyes that I noticed were jade instead of apple. "To tell you the truth I'm only half human. I'm half vampire as well. I wasn't born this way but that is a story for another time. I don't have nearly enough time to tell you my entire history as well as what you need to know".

Lets to back to when you were seven, the last time your father was alive. How did you know that"? I demanded of her. She had my complete attention. His the hell did she know that? She was a stranger to me is never even met her before a week and a half ago!

"Before I explain that you need to know one more thing. My family is like royalty in the vampire hunter world what someone from my clan says must be followed without questioning or complaints. My family along with Tsunade's founded the hunter organization and made it what it is today. They turned leadership over to us that is why I'm so highly respected by many of the students here at school. Since the school is so close to HQ many hunters choose to attend here. I'm getting off track".

She took a deep breath and began again. "I am the last Haruno and I made a decision when we were all seven, I declared that the young children of the Uzumaki's, Hyuga's, Nara's, and Uchiha's were to have their memories suppressed. This may have been a rash choice but I was tired of having children have their innocence taken from them the way I was forced to. So I decided that you four were never to be exposed to this life. I intended for my choice to remain forever, that is no longer an option. You four are needed now".

She was lost in her memories now and her form trembled with the weight of what she had carried from her choice for eleven long years.

"I'm sorry Sasuke but the hidden world needs you now. It is time to join your brother and become the person you were born to be. I see now that I couldn't and never have been able to keep you from the destiny that has waited to claim you. I hope you enjoyed your childhood because now that's over and done with".

With that said she suddenly moved and was in front of me. I watched as she sank on fang into her thumb and drew blood. Then she pressed her bleeding finger to my forehead and drew a few symbols and spoke in a voice filled with power and command. " I Haruno Sakura, by birth do declare that this seal is now released. Return that which has been lost"!

Small bursts of pain went off behind my eyes as memories flooded my mind. After a few minutes it became unbearable and I lost consciousness. The last thing I saw was the tears leaking down Sakura's face and her whispered apology " I'm so sorry Sasuke. I never wanted this for you, I hope you can forgive me one day". I knew no more as the darkness swallowed me.

Sakura's P.O.V.

In the weeks that followed the guys all avoided me as the resumed hunter training to catch up to me and my girl's level. They all blamed me for tampering with their lives. I honestly can't say I didn't deserve it. Tonight they were being sent out on their first mission and had been paired up with me and my girls.

Whatever I'm used to being alone. Sure I have my friends and family. What's left of it anyways. No one really understands me. I am completely unique I mean there is no one else like me. So in reality I am alone, that's how it's always been and how it will always be.

I'm sorry mom and dad. I know you told me to keep going even if you can't be beside me anymore, but did you ever anticipate this?

Well it's time to go to the debriefing room and face four people who hate me. This ought to go well.

Ino's P.O.V.

I was pissed as hell, how could the guys do this to her? She had only wanted what was best for them. I know Sakura told me to let it be but three weeks is ridiculous. I'm going to let them have it. They are going to learn what it means to piss me off.

I walked into the room and no one but the girls and the four objects of my anger were there. Sakura was nowhere in sight. Perfect, they are so going to get it now.

I threw the door open so hard it crashed it to the wall and the window on it shattered. "What the hell Ino"? Shikamaru demanded of me.

"SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP! I can't take it anymore. Do you have any idea what you are doing to Sakura? You four assholes are slowly killing her! DO YOU KNOW WHAT SHE TOLD ME JUST YESTERDAY?! SHE TOLD ME THAT NOTHING'S CHANGED SHE'S STILL FUCKING ALONE! EVEN THOUGH SHE HAS US! BUT NO YOU JACKASSES ARE FUCKING IGNORING HER"!

"Did you know that most people in Sakura's life abandon and despise her when they find out what she is? I know she constantly fears that we will do the same. She has such a hard time trusting people and then you go and pull a stunt like this. The only people Sakura opens up to is Tsunade and Hinata. Did you know she saved Hinata's life the night her family was killed? You guys are so..."

That's enough Ino, I told you to let it be. Why don't you ever listen to me"? We all spun around to see Sakura standing in the doorway. Her head was bent down and her bangs covered her eyes. Her whole body shook and I could see tears stream down her face. Shit, I just made things worse. Now she'll hate me, I just know she's going to close herself off completely from us now. I walked over to her and put my hand on her shoulder. "Sakura please lo..."

I didn't get to finish my sentence as she flung herself into my arms. Her arms wrapped around me in a tight hug. "Sakura"? She was shaking so bad now. I could feel the tears drip down my back as I embraced her and rubbed her back as she cried. I didn't know what to do now and the only thoughts I had was that my best friend had come to me for comfort not Hinata or Tsunade, me.

Sakura's P.O.V.

I could hear Ino shouting and screaming. I could also hear the crunch of broken glass being ground into the concrete floors. What is she doing? I told her not to do anything.

Then I was in the doorway and everyone's eyes flickered to me except Ino. I could see the looks on the boy's faces. Ino had gone behind my back and was making the boys feel so guilty at the way I had been treated the past few weeks and the lack of communication towards me. No one has ever done that for me before. I bent my head down so no one could see the tears that streamed down my face as I told Ino to stop.

This was the first time anyone had accepted me so openly and fought for me so vehemently. She came closer to me and I just flung myself into her arms. I saw her teeter as she balanced my unexpected weight while hugging me back. "Thank you Ino", I whispered in her ear.

Sasuke's P.O.V.

Was that really true? Had Sakura always been treated like this? The thoughts only served to make me feel so guilty. I was only mad because my life had been changed without my permission. Looking back now I remembered that Sakura had not done it for selfish reasons. She wanted a better life for us and we treated her badly for it. Not to mention a month ago she had saved our sorry asses. God am I a dick head or what? I know I can be a jerk sometimes but when the hell did I turn into such an asshole?

The blond still had Sakura in a tight embrace when the other two girls joined in and suddenly it was a major group hug. Naruto was the first of us to join in and called out "GROUP HUG"!

Ah what the hell I thought as the rest of us joined in and Sakura met my gaze and gave me a small smile. After we pulled away each of us apologized. Well I mean us guys anyways the girls had nothing to apologize for. Naruto's was the loudest and Neji's was the quietest.

After that we finally got the mission information from a guy whose name I'm sure us Orochimaru. I can't be sure cause I don't remember. He looks like a total creep-o, until you get to know him. Then he only mildly creeps you out. Sakura is used to it because she grew up with him around all the time.

This is the first time I get to take out real vampires, no more simulations and training operations. I scowled remembering how we had all tried to top Sakura's scores this past month but none of us had succeeded in any area. One thing we learned was that Sakura excelled at everything. Meaning in a mission she could play any role needed. Neji had come pretty close in snipping and Naruto had almost done it with ambushing. I had come real close with sword play. Hell this girl had even out thought Shikamaru in the strategic area. She was smarter than him and a lightning fast thinker. I was determined to find something I could do better than her. My pride as a guy was on the line here and it was determined not to lose everything to girl. I remember the conversation I had with her and I really wanted to know what else she was hiding. Heh watch out Sakura and let the games begin.

Ooh I wonder what is going to happen! Well I know but I bet your dying to find out! stay tuned and you will! I got really inspired this afternoon so I give to you chapter four! I hope you like this chapter as much as you did the rest. I know this chapter was kind of angsty But it will get better I promise! Let me know what thou think. Please no flames, you don't like it? Don't read it then! All there is to it.
