Chapter 1:

Emerald meet Onyx

Sakura's POV

The stars and moon shimmered through the dark black sky. I always liked the night, because you can hide yourself from the pain so safely in the darkness.

Let me fall into darkness…

The cold of the forest was softly prickling my skin. The wind was teasing my short pink locks and the ends of my red coat.

I could hear the hollow screams of the forest. I didn't understand why each time I walked in the forest I heard screams, but it was just me, because no one else did.

Silent screams… reminds me of my screams.

The piercing need to scream for help, even though I know no one can hear or will care.

Painful memories haunt me. I've been beaten up by the other girls again. That's why my body was covered with ugly cuts and bruises again. I felt so weak so pathetic.

Salty teardrops ran down my cheeks, leaving a cold wet trail behind. A real shinobi never cries but I couldn't help.

Crying makes you weak, powerless and hurt. The more you cry the more people will look down on you.

I cried a lot.

People must think I'm lower than dirt.

The pain of being humiliated wasn't the only one I felt, also the pain of loneliness.

Loneliness is probably the most painful feeling of all. It's a hollow empty pain which pierces through your delicate heart. The worst is you can't get used to it. You can deny it but deep in your heart you know that it will always haunt you.

It will always be there. Always. Since my parents death I couldn't get rid of this feeling.

I hated Konohara. My parents died in order to protect this despisefull country.

Since they died in a mission the cycle of pain and loneliness never end. – Waking up in the morning alone, having breakfast alone. I then go to the academy where other girls just beat the hell of me for who knows what reasons.I think the main reason is probably because I am so quiet and withdrawn.Then when the afternoon is over, my body would be covered with bruises and cuts like today.

Is it weak if you to want to be protected?

I didn't know why I couldn't defend myself and I hated myself because of this fact. I wonder how long it will take for me break definitely. I couldn't take it anymore- I've been enduring 15 long years ull of self hatred, pain, sorrow, anger and grief.

I always walked through the forest for hours to make myself too tired to care about my emptiness, but that wasn't the only reason, there was something in the forest that attracted me. Though I didn't know what.

There was a hidden mystery, a dark mystery.

I also went into the forest at night for the sight of the moon and stars. I 'd rather listen to the sounds of the forest than to the silence of my home.

Suddenly a horrible scream haunted my ears and I decided to run into its direction. I knew it was dangerous but my curiosity was bigger.

The screams became louder and louder with each step I took. Then I finally found out from who they came from- a female jounin from Konohara. Quickly I hide behind a tree.

On the top of her was a man about seventeen with short raven black hair and onyx eyes which flickered blood red. They were filled with malice and bloodthirst which made me shudder.

I was surprised that he seemed to be so young.

My eyes widened in fear as I saw that he was about to ram a kunai at her throat while he locked her wrists with one of his hands and sat on the top of her. I almost screamed but not a sound left my throat. The kunai neared her throat dangerously but at the last moment she managed to roll to the side and kicked his cheek, but to my surprise he didn't even seem to notice. With an evil smirk he grabbed her ankle and twisted it along with her leg in the other direction until a – crack was heard. Her leg was broken and the female jounin screamed in pain which seemed to be like music to his ears. To break just her leg didn't seem to satisfy him. He was still on top of her and pinned one of her arms on the ground while he twisted her other one until it also broke. Again she screamed in agony. He seemed to have a sadistic attitude.

I could just stand and stare. I was too afraid to help her or to run. My legs were paralyzed. Again I couldn't do anything, neither for myself nor for others. My palms were sweaty like my whole body.

My emerald green eyes widened as he decided to tortue her longer. Instead of stabbing the kunai in her throat he stabbed it in her arm several times.

I covered my ears from these terrible screams. At this moment I regretted being here, I just wanted to run and bury myself in my warm and safe bed. Then he finally decided to release her from her pain and stabbed the kunai in her throat. It was finally over.

It was the first time I've seen someone beeing killed. Guilt washed over my heart. I couldn't do anything…

My heart jumped as he licked the blood from the kunai. It was so disgusting. Then he suddenly dropped it and stood up. "I know you're here. You can stop hiding." His dark and deep voice haunted my ears.

No that couldn't be. He knew that I'm here. I never felt so scared in my whole life. But nevertheless I used all my courage that was left and stepped into the opening.

I could see that he wore a black T-shirt and white short baggy pants.

He slowly turned his head to me, his head protector flashed silver while he did.

I grasped, he was a Sound Nin.

Sound Nins are infamous for their cruelty

The words from my sensei haunted me.

He was at least one head taller than me and had a perfect build of muscles. He had broad shoulders.

"Did you see everything?" he repeated.

My fingers trembled like my whole body and chin. Through the shock my mouth opened slightly. My heart was pounding painfully against my chest. I could hear the sounds of my heart beating so clearly. Thump thump thump

Sweat was trickling down my temple. I was so afraid. He is going to kill me. I wanted to run, I really wanted to run. But my legs felt so weak, as if they would break any moment.

He stepped closer to me. A smirk decorated his handsome face.

"I'll tell you something. I love hunting in the forest especially at night because no one can hear their screams."

I couldn't feel my surroundings anymore. It felt like the time has stopped.

"I love to kill especially… Leaf shinobis." I could just stare into his dark and mysterious but yet beautiful onyx eyes. I snapped back to reality as I realized that I wore my Leaf head protector.

Why do I wear an identification of a place I don't care for anymore?

I gasped as he was right in front of me, just some inches apart.

The fear which covered my mind was making me numb. It felt like I couldn't breath anymore. Suddenly he leaned closer, I felt the warmth of his body and I inhaled his intoxicating smell, as he whispered in my ear "But for you…".

Then everything went black….

My vision was blurry as my emerald green eyes opened slowly. My whole body was covered with sweat and was overheated. The voices of birds singing sounded in my ears. My eyes wandered through the room. It was my room. I sighed in relief. I was in my bed, covered with a blanket. Was that just a dream? I asked myself. But it felt so real, all the screams, all the blood, those eyes and his dark voice.

I will make an expection. My eyes widened. Is that the reason why I was still alive?

But for you …

I'll make an exception

These were the words I heard as I fainted. Was that why I was alive?

Don't be stupid Sakura it was just a bad dream nothing more. I shrugged it off.

Then I cursed as I remembered that I had to go to the academy today. As I stood up to walk into my bathroom to brush my teeth I noticed that I was still in my training outfit, but it wasn't something special since it hadn't been the first time. After brushing my short pink locks I went to the place I hated the most.

"Pathetic girl." The girl with black hair, called Kyoko, hissed as she grabbed my hair and threw me on the meadow. I was surrounded by four girls my age. Their leader kicked me in my stomach and I coughed blood.

It was everyday the same. I stopped believing that someone will help me because no one cares.

Suddenly I heard a scream and my closed eyes snapped open. "You shouldn't let them treat you like this." Blood splashed on my face. It was Kioko's blood. My eyes widened in shock. A kunai sword was stabbed through her heart from behind. The end of it pierced through her skin. Terribly screams filled the thin air. As Kyoko's dead body hit the ground her murder was revealed. Raven black hair and onyx eyes.

I gasped in shock. It wasn't a dream. Before the girls could escape, he had slit the throat of one of them and the next victim had her heart ripped out. The last one was about to run but he grabbed her neck and tightened his grip until it snapped.

Then he turned his head to me. My eyes were filled with tears which made my sight unclear. My hands clutched the grass tightly, while my knees which pressed against each other, shaking terribly. The tear drops were mixed with the blood in my face. The trailed down to my dry lips.

The liquid tasted like salt and metal. It tasted disgusting. It made me sick.

"Do you enjoy the taste of blood?" Fear began to cover my mind like dust.

"W- why did you kill them? My voice was shaking terribly.

"Are you afraid I might kill you too? He stepped closer and closer to me.

"Do-don't come near me." Now he stood right in front of me and slowly kneeled down. My heart was punding painfully against my chest.

Suddely his right hand grabbed the back of my hair and he pulled me close to him, our nose almost touched. Please don't kill me.

He locked his onyx eyes with my emerald ones. His mysterious eyes bored through mine.

" Your eyes are filled with pure fear and hate against this village."

I stared at him in shock. He read me like a open book.

"You hate this village because it took your parents away from you.

You hate this village because its people treat you and your parents like shit and they still

decided to protect this village. But you hate it the most because it made you pathetic…

weak." The onyx eyed man said.

"Who are you? Why do you know so much about me?"

"I just know. Don't ask anymore.

I want you to come with me."

"Eh?" I was absolutely confused.

"Come with me snd you can get your revenge."

"What?"

"You heard me right. If you come with me I can make you feel powerful.

Come with me to the hidden Sound village."

His voice was firm, not allowing any room for contradiction.

Then I said without realizing "I can't… Neji." If I go with him I'll have to someday come back to the Leaf village and that means I'd have to fight or even kill Neji.

I loved him. I always did. He is my childhood crush. He is everything I'm not. Strong, confident, independent, a perfect ninja.

"So you still care for him? Even though he never helped you when you were hurt?"

Then he bent down and whispered in my ear

"Even though he doesn't love you back."

"NOO don't say that." I tried to break free from his grip. I was turning my head desperately.

It already hurt enough he didn't need to push the knife deeper.

He let go of my hair, but then he grabbed my chin, forcing me to look into his dark eyes. My arms were hanging off. I didn't try to free myself this time. "Think about it." With these words he let go of me and turned around to walk away.

"Wait what's your name?" I screamed after him.

"I'm Sasuke. Uchiha Sasuke. Don't forget it Sakura." With these words he vanished.

I gaped at him before he vanished. He also knew my name but why? He knows so much about me while I did not know anything about him.
