Chapter 1

It all happened so fast. One day I'm a normal 16 year old girl; going to the local high school, hanging out with my friends, getting ready to go to Prom with my boyfriend, Kiba. Then, the next thing I know I'm being shipped off to a government-run private school for assassins. I wasn't allowed to tell my friends or family. The family part didn't really matter that much though. My mother died when I was in grade school and my father when I was in middle school. They were assassins too. I didn't even know that until I got sent to this school! At first I was against going here, and I still am, but only a little bit. I'm starting to get used to it here but classes haven't even started yet. I'm one of the early arrivals and therefore I'm the only one in my dorm room right now. The dorm supervisor told me that I would be getting three more roommates within the week. She also told me that at this school the dorms are co-ed. I'm not so sure how I'm going to deal with that. The dorms consist of four bedrooms, a lounge, a kitchen and eating area, and only one bathroom. One bathroom! How am I going to share just one bathroom with a guy? More importantly, how am I going to accept the fact that my parents killed people for a living and now I am too? I know that the people I'll be killing are criminals but it's still a human life that I'll be taking. I was sitting on the couch in the dorm room thinking about this when I heard the front door open.

"Hello? Is anyone in here?" I heard someone call from the front door in a cold, monotone voice; a male someone.

"Yeah, in here!" I called from the couch. I could hear my new roommate making his way into the living room and stood up, well more like I felt the cold chill that entered the dorm when he came in get closer. I saw him put his bags down in the hallway by the kitchen and make his way over to me.

"Hey, I'm—Sasuke? What're you doing here?" I said as I recognized who my new roommate was.

"Sakura? You're going to this school too?" Sasuke asked me with a confused look on his face. Sasuke and I used to go to the same church and middle school. We were really good friends and spent almost every weekend together with our other friend Naruto if I wasn't with Kiba or if Sasuke didn't have a baseball game. When we started high school we went our separate ways, since we didn't go to the same one. I haven't really seen him since then so it was weird seeing him now.

"Uh, yeah, I am. So, you're one of my new roommates?" I asked as I went to go sit back on the couch.

"Yeah. At least now we both know someone at this place." Sasuke said with a small smile on his face as he sat down next to me on the couch. It was funny how easily he went from his cold, outer shell to his warm, friendly personality when we were together. I guess that's the power that best friends have over each other.

"Yeah, so when did you find out? You know, that you were going to be uh…"

"An assassin? I found out in 9th grade. That's when we stopped talking. Well, that's when I stopped talking to a lot of my friends." Sasuke told me. I remembered that. We were always so close and then one day he started treating me just as coldly as everyone else. I thought that I had done something to upset him and was going to ask him about it but before I could he totally stopped talking to me. I had just decided to give him his space and wait until things smoothed out to talk to him but that never happened. Now was my chance to get some answers.

"Why? Why would you cut yourself off from me—I mean your friends just because you knew you were gonna be an assassin?"

"Sakura-chan, think about it. In a few years I would be shipped off and I wouldn't be able to tell anyone why. I thought that if I started to distance myself from everyone early on it might hurt less when I did have to leave."

"Well, did it work?" I asked.

"For the most part. But there was one person who it still hurt to leave." Sasuke said as he looked into my eyes. I love his eyes; they're one of his best features. They're this beautiful onyx that just explodes with darkness and mystery when you look at them.

"Who was it?"

"You. It's better now though, cause it turns out that I didn't have to say bye to you." He said as he placed his cold hand over mine. I forgot to mention something about Sasuke and me. We both had crushes on each other back in middle school, but the farthest it ever got was a little kissing and a few movie dates. We just kind of agreed that it wouldn't work out but now here we both are and I know that I still like him and he might even still like me too. I was about to ask him if he still liked me too but I saw him leaning in towards me, closing his eyes and knew that that was my answer. Since I broke things off with Kiba a month before I came here I didn't feel that bad if Sasuke and I kissed. Plus we already knew each other and had a lot of history together so it wasn't like I would be macking on some random guy I just met. As my thoughts rambled on in my head I could feel his breath on my lips and it snapped me out of my little daze. I waited for him to press his lips against mine.

"Hello? Can someone help me with my bags?" I heard someone call from the front door. I immediately recognized the voice and hopped off the couch. I ran over to the front door and engulfed my other best friend in a hug.

"Naruto! I can't believe that you're here too! This is great, first Sasuke-kun and now you. Maybe this won't be that bad after all." I said as I let go of Naruto.

"Wait a second, did you say that teme was here too?"

"Yeah, dobe. And you couldn't have picked a worse time to show up." Sasuke said with a scowl on his face as he came over to us. I looked over at Naruto and saw him look back and forth between Sasuke and me and begin to get a sly grin on his face. I could feel my face start to blush and was sure it was one to rival our old friend Hinata's, who seemed to always blush when she was around Naruto.

"Ohhh, I get it. Well if you want me to leave for a little bit so you two can finish catching up I don't mind. I think I might just go hang out with Hinata-chan and Neji downstairs." Naruto said as he began to back out of the door slowly.

"Wait, did you just say that Hinata-chan and Neji were downstairs? Does that mean that they're going here too?" I asked excitedly.

"Yeah, so are Shikamaru, Temari, Ino, Sai, TenTen, Kankuro, Lee, Choji, Gaara, and Ayami. Didn't you guys see them on your way in?" Naruto asked with a goofy grin on his face.

"Nope, I was an early arrival. I got here two weeks ago." I said.

"Nope, I just headed straight up here."

"Well this is great! It looks like all of our friends are here. I guess we didn't really have to say goodbye to everyone after all." I said as I turned and smiled to Sasuke.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Sasuke said.

"Hey, let's go down and say hi to everyone!" Naruto said happily. Sasuke and I looked at each other and grinned. We knew why Naruto actually wanted to go down there, he wanted to see Hinata. It seemed that every chance he got to see Hinata, he would. It was strange though, they both liked each other and everyone else knew it but them!

"Okay dobe, let's go see them. Or rather, Hinata-chan." Sasuke said with a smirk on his face. I laughed as Naruto's face began to resemble a tomato and we headed downstairs to see our friends. Maybe this school wouldn't be that bad after all.
