Chapter 1 : This New Feeling

"YOOOOOO! I can't believe we are here!" Naruto screams with joy. He stick his arms out to feel the wind pass around him.

"Naruto get down! It's dangerous!" Hinata holds on tight to Naruto's legs.

"Haha! I'm fine, don't worry about me! You're talking to an Uzumaki Naruto!" Naruto pushes off the railing of Konoha.

"AHHHH! Naruto! You're falling!" Hinata shut her eyes tight.

Naruto and Hinata fell onto nice layered grass. The beautiful small hill they were on was flowing with waver grass. They were relaxing on the hill where they

dreamt of. The dream was finally real. The beautiful view was the whole Konoha city. This lovely couple finally came to the city of Konoha. Hinata took out

her camera she been saving up to fulfill the memories.

"Naruto, lets take a photo." Her enchanted smile could light up the world.

They both took a snapshot. Naruto's peace sign with Hinata's shy smile was perfect.

"Sakura lets go already." Sasuke insisted.

"Ok, ok. Just give me a few minutes." Sakura dragged her luggage out of the hotel room and tossed it into the trunk of a cab.

"Were are already 10 minutes late." Sasuke open the cab's door for Sakura to enter.

"If you helped pack your stuff then we wouldn't be late." Sakura pouted and looks away from Sasuke.

"What's the purpose of a fiancé?" Sasuke asked.

Sasuke's question pissed off Sakura. She decided to ignore his question.

"You're going to have to get use to it. I'm not always going to help you." Sasuke said.

"I'm always doing everything! I'm doing all the wedding plans while you just go out and drink all night!" Sakura shed some tears.

"I don't go drinking for fun. It's business. You wouldn't understand."

"Stop the car!" Sakura slaps the back of the cab's seat.

Sakura walks out the cab to the sidewalk of the busy street. She was angered with Sasuke's selfishness. She stood at one spot for a brief second. She turned

around and was about to yell but the cab is already gone.

'How could Sasuke just leave like that?' She asked herself. Her heart raged with blue fire.

She continued to walk in the dense side walk full of people. It was already night fall and she was still wandering around the city. If she were to breakdown in front of strangers then she would be crazy.

'I'm already crazy getting married with that man.' She bangs her head with her delicate hands.

She looks up and saw a happy couple smiling. The couple was holding hands laughing. It was Naruto and Hinata minding their own business. She saw how

happy they were. They weren't just cute together but they were happy. That's all Sakura wanted was happiness. It's a lot to ask for and she knows it too.

She smiled and continued her lonely walk.

"I hope they last." Sakura said to herself.

While she is walking by Naruto and Hinata, Hinata accidentally scoot back without noticing anyone behind her.

"Ah! I'm so sorry!" Hinata helped Sakura up from the ground.

"Haha, no you're good. Please, don't worry about me." Sakura continues to smile.

Naruto noticed that Sakura had a cut on her knee. Naruto bend down to put his hands around her white skin knee. This action shocked both Sakura and Hinata. Sakura didn't mean to blush. She knew he was just being friendly.

"You're hurt. Let us help you." Naruto took off his hand band and slowly made his way around Sakura's cut knee.

"Haha, please, you don't have to help me. I'm fine." Sakura insisted nicely waving at them.

"I can't leave someone with a cut. It might leave a scar if we don't take action."Naruto's eye was gentle while he continued to tie the head band softly around Sakura's knee.

Sakura froze knowing that this isn't right. She thought why would a guy be this kind. He is already taken by a wonderful girl that she is sure of. She stared down at his calm face. Her face warms up a bit. Naruto looks up and Sakura quickly looks away blushing.

"Haha, well that should help it." Naruto stood up smiling.

"Thanks." Sakura's face still turned away.

"Haha, well I guess we will see you around?" Naruto scratches the back of his head.

"Yea, hopefully we do see you around." Hinata stuck out her hand for a handshake.

"Oh, yea, hopefully." Sakura shakes Hinata's hand back.

"Bye!" Naruto put his arm around Hinata waving.

They left the scene leaving Sakura alone once again.

"I can't leave someone with a cut. It might leave a scar if we don't take action."

That quote is stuck in Sakura's head.

"Naruto?" Hinata said.

"Yea?" Naruto replied.

"Do you think she is ok?" Hinata questioned.

"I don't know. I hope so. You can tell that she was putting on a fake smile." Naruto sighed. "Lets not worry too much about it. She is a married woman."

"How do you know if she is married?" Hinata questioned.

"I saw that she had a ring on her ring finger." Naruto chuckled.

"Haha, that's great. I hope she will be fine with whoever she is with." Hinata said pleasantly.

They finally reached their destination for dinner on their first night of the city life.

Sakura arrived at the condo where Sasuke lives. Of course it was a 5 star area. She was supposed to move in with Sasuke today but things went unexpected

that day. The elevator felt slower going up this time of round. A lot went through her innocent mind. It gave her a minor headache.

She was at her destination but something felt uneasy once again. Sasuke's door was slightly open. She gently pushes the door. There was clothes all over the

floor. It was clothing that Sakura didn't recognize. She also noticed a feminine scent that she doesn't recognize. Her tears started to be pulled by gravity.

There were voices coming from the bedroom. She dared herself to go closer to the door. She looked through the crack and saw Sasuke's bare back. An arm

reaches up to Sasuke and pulls him down.

Sakura pushes herself back sobbing quietly.

'This can't be happening! There is no way!' Sakura thought to herself.

"Did you hear something?" The voice of the mysterious girl with Sasuke asked.

"I didn't hear anything actually. Lets just continue." Sasuke replied.

"What about your fiancé?" The woman asked.

"Who cares about my fiancé. I wasn't going to marry her anyways." Sasuke said.

"Why did you asked her to be your fiancé?" The woman questioned more.

"I thought we would never be back together so I asked. It was stupid of me to even ask her." Sasuke replied.

This conversation shocked Sakura. She ran out the condo door crying. Once again she was on the streets of the city lights.

"I can't leave someone with a cut. It might leave a scar if we don't take action."

She thought about what Naruto said once again.

"It's too late now." Sakura said to herself looking up at the black sky.

"Naruto..." Hinata weeps falling onto Naruto's arms.

"What's wrong!?" Naruto worried about the situation.

"Ne.. Neji. Neji! Neji died in a car accident." Hinata's tears was uncontrollable.

"Hinata! I'm so sorry! I'm still here ok!?" Naruto started to tear up holding her tight.

A few hours later they were asleep on the bed. Hinata wakes up and packed some clothes before sunrise. She is made her way out the door of the condo.

It was sunrise by the time Naruto woke up. There was no sign of Hinata anywhere in the condo. He knew that Hinata went back to Hyuga. He doesn't know

how long she would be absent. It breaks his heart that she left without a word. In that case he knows that Hinata needs time alone to recover a beloved lost.

Naruto continued looking at the blank ceiling. His heartsick face couldn't be wash after washing up. He would go after her but knows that it's best to leave her

be for awhile. Hinata made her decision to leave Naruto and he understood.

Naruto went out for the day. He thought walking would help release some sadness. He walked all the way to the hill where Hinata and he first arrived to. This

idea of walking wasn't helping at all. He noticed a girl screaming and kicking the ground. He thought he was crazy but he guess wrong. When the girl turned

around he noticed it was the girl from last night. It was the girl with the cut knee. Naruto watched from a far if she was going to do anything crazier. He could

hear her scream her sorrow.

"I hate you so much! How dare you! I hate you! I hate you! You're killing me with the things you been doing! I hate you Sasuke!" Sakura looks down at her

hand. The ring that Sasuke bought meant nothing but lies. She quickly took it off and was ready to throw it. She froze looking at the big city of Konoha. She

gave up everything to come to the city. Maybe she gave up everything for the wrong reason, Sasuke.

"I... I hate you!" She threw the ring at the city.

Naruto's eyes widen knowing she must have thrown a expensive ring away. Sakura just stood at the same spot for hours. Naruto continued to watch her

from behind. he waits patiently till she moves a muscle. Sakura started to make her way back on the path back to the city. Naruto yawns and stretches then

noticed Sakura was walking away. He stood quickly and trips at the bottom of the bench's leg.

"Ouch." He said in pain.

He got up to continue to follow her slowly without making a sound. His hands in his pockets thinking to himself why this woman was acting so harsh to

herself. Then she suddenly stops at her tracks. He stopped as well wondering why she stopped. She slightly turn to check if someone was behind her. She

saw a blurry person at the edge of her eyes. She look straight quickly.

"AHHHHHHHH!" She freaks out and started running at six gear. Naruto was so confused of this situation.

"Wh.. Wait!" Naruto reaches his hand out and chased after her.

"Stop following me! You creep! HELP!" Sakura continues to run for her life.

"Wait! It's not what you think! I SAID WAIT!" Naruto starts to run faster to catch up.

"NO! YOU'RE CRAZY!" Then Sakura trips over a little rock sticking out from the ground. "Oh, oh." Her face expression was priceless. Flop, she falls to the ground flat face.

Naruto stopped at his fast pace. He takes a breathe balancing himself with his hands on his knees.

"You can run, shesh." Naruto said.

He noticed Sakura was still face with the ground. This worried him so he poked Sakura with a stick he suddenly found.

"Hello?" He pokes Sakura on the back. "Helloooo? Are you ok?" Naruto asked.

There was no response. He got worried and flip her over. She was unconscious. Sakura was in a dream.

'Wow. What is that light? Is it my time to go already? The light is getting brighter and brighter. I'm coming light! Wait.. What is this? What is this rumbling

ground?! Why is there an earthquake?!' She dreamt to herself trying to reach the light at the end of the tunnel.

"Wake up! Wake up woman! I know you're just sleeping! Wake up!" Naruto kept shaking Sakura.

Sakura slowly wakes up and noticed Naruto. She never felt so disgusted in her life.

"What are you doing!?" Sakura pushes Naruto away.

"I'm trying to help you!" Naruto replied.

"Who says I need help!" Sakura trying to cover her area.

"You fell face down! I thought you died!" Naruto screamed.

"You didn't do anything to me did you!?" Sakura questioned with rage.

"All I did was poke you!" Naruto stood up.

"Oh my goodness! You pervert!" Sakura scoots away from Naruto.

"How does that make me a pervert!?" Naruto points really hard at Sakura.

"That counts as touching because I don't like you pointing at me!" Sakura said pointing back.

"Ugh, you're one crazy woman! Anyways I'm leaving." Naruto starts to walk away.

"Wait! Wait..." Sakura said.

"What?!" Naruto turned around.

"I can't feel my foot..." Sakura said.

Naruto noticed all the cuts on her knees. He knew that she broke her knee.

"You landed wrong." Naruto smacks his face.

"Forget it don't help me. I can get back up by myself." Sakura said with determination.

"Ok, I'll like to see you try." Naruto said.

Sakura tried to pull herself up with her other scrapped knee from last night.

'It must hurt.' Naruto thought. He felt bad after all the things he seen Sakura do before she fell.

"Ugh!" Sakura falls back down to her scrapped knee. This broke Naruto's heart. He squatted down looking at Sakura.

"What?!" Sakura said.

"Let me help you." Naruto said.

"Why would I let you? You're the one following me." Sakura said.

"I can't leave someone who is hurt. It might leave a scar if we don't take action." Naruto said.

'That quote again from yesterday.' Sakura was shocked to even move.

Naruto twirls around motioning Sakura to get on his back.

"Come on. I'll carry you back home."

Sakura didn't know how to reply. She just got on his back and held on tightly. Naruto's hand was holding under Sakura's thigh so it wouldn't hurt her.

"Yosh! Lets go!" Naruto held on Sakura tighter.

'What is this feeling I'm getting?' Sakura closes her eyes.
