Chapter 1: Chapter 1: The beginning Memories

Authors note: This is my very first fanficXD ive written out a couple of the other chapters, but they still need editing and the rest of the story still needs to be finished.

Its sasusaku as im completley in love with this couple

everytime i go on it is to read sasusaku fanfics so i was inspired to go ahead and write my own!

if you have any questions or advice please feel free to comment

Youll notice that I reference a lot of familiar brand names, In Japan the teens wear a lot of foreign brands especially American brands, as well as European. Did you know they even have a Forever 21 in Tokyo? (which was actually started by a south Korean) but yea anyway getting off topic haha

critiques are fine, but harsh rude comments are just immature and it is my first story so please avoid doing that. I do put hard work into this.

If you dont agree with this pairing then dont read.

other pairings: NaruHina TemarShika NejiTen possible InoSai

I hope you enjoy! first chapter...

Chapter 1: The beginning memories

"Sa-su-ke" a soft whisper could be heard from the sleeping beauty as she rolled around in her Totoro decorated bed sheets. "No ...no don't leave, no….noo"

-"Sak, hey Sak wake up"

A blonde girl tugged at the girl's shoulders in effort to wake her up.

She finally woke up to reveal a pair of bright turquoise eyes. She slowly lifted her torso so that she was sitting up in bed ruffling her fingers through her cherry blossom locks in confusion.

"Why? …." She thought. "Why does this keep happening?"

-"Sak you were having another bad dream."

Sak turned around finally awake enough to notice her best friend Ino standing at her bedside looking down on her

-"wha, huh? Ohh."

-" Hey are you alright? You haven't been sleeping so well lately. Anything you're not telling me?"

-"oh- no just a lot on my mind you know work…..school….finances….yeaaaah."

-"right, okay start getting ready we don't want to be late for class, I made you some coffee."

-"oh thanks Ino-pig."

-"no problem… forehead girl."

The two smirked at one another before giggling at their childish antics and going on to get ready for the first day of college.

Sakura showered and cleansed her teeth before continuing to blow dry her hair.

She applied her make up softly not having to worry about the use of cover-up due to her perfect gold skin. She decided to add a ton of mascara to blacken the eyelashes so that It would bring out those incredible eyes she had somehow inherited while continuing to apply a coat of strawberry gloss to her lips.

Sakura then fit herself into a black leotard with sleeves that cut off at the elbows wearing it over a pair of black tights. She proceeded to picking out the clothes to wear over it. In the end she took out a button up blouse made of royal blue and black plaid cotton. It was sort of vintage-looking due to the ruffles aligning the buttons and princess style sleeves the cut off just above the shoulder so that the black sleeves of the leotard stuck out from under them.

Sak slipped it over her elongated silhouette then continued to tug on a mini skirt that consisted of destroyed light wash denim with rustic bronze studs aligning the pockets. She finished the look by taking out a pair of bright red flats. She was simple but she wasn't boring. She had an edgy touch to her look which brought out her tough side, yet there were still aspects that reminded others of her feminine side.

She touched her collar bone to make sure the leaf symbol which hung around her neck on a thin silver chain was still there. The charm which she and her friends all had, a symbol of promise that they had made back in the day when she was 11, back then when he hadn't left yet. They had all decided to keep a copy of a leave village charm to remind them selves of the bond. She wondered if he still wore his or if he even had his anymore.

Ino was wearing her charm as a necklace too. She was dressed in her violet tights with a light-wash shorts over them stained with patches of bleach. She also wore leopard print cami and took out some neon turquoise flats that contrasted the violet tights quite well. Her hair was down today although it was usually up in a pony tail but she didn't see it going with her outfit. She grabbed her favorite violet colored hoodie in case she got a bit cold, And stuck it in a big leather handbag. Just like Sakura had, she double checked to see if the charm was still around her neck.

"Ready?" Ino asked Sakura

Sakura took one last gulp of her coffee and nodded.

She grabbed her Leather Louis Vuitton tote bag a gift she had receive from her parents for getting into college. Running out the door, she caught up with her roommate who was already outside in the hall.

"Come on forehead the elevators here."

"Ahh I'm here."

The two girls stepped onto the elevator where they met they're two friends who lived in the apartment next-door to theirs. They also had leaf charms dangling from thier necks.

Their names were Hinata Hyuga, and Ten-ten, who's full name still remains unknown to anyone.

Hinata was the most innocent and shy of the group. It was hard to imagine anyone harming her and if anyone did her friends would probably kill whoever that person was. Her eyes were pale with a periwinkle tint, her dark blue hair that reached down past her back contrasting her snow-white skin. She wore a pair of grey tweed shorts over black tights with bronze and gold flats and a ruffled white shirt with a mandarin collar.

The girl next to her was Tenten a casual, sweet natured female who cared about her friends a lot more than herself she had brown eyes and hair tied up into two buns on the each side of her head as always. She was wearing a loose one-shoulder sweater made of peach dyed cotton that allowed one of her bra straps to show, and a faded mini skirt with a rough edge accompanied by a few stylish rips and tears and to top it off some plain black flip flops. She wasn't as dressed up as some of the others she but she still knew how to look cute and if anyone were to take a good look at her they wouldn't think that she had an obsession with weapons.

"Ahh I'm so nervous and excited, oh my god College boys!." Ino squealed

"Aha yea whatever they may be in college but it doesn't mean they've grown up at all." remarked Tenten. "Besides I already have my heart set on Neji-kun, I'm so glad we all got in."

"Hai, but we won't be in the same classes they're going to be in music." Sakura added "Plus the fact the he's not even there."

"I think that I'm going to try and make my move on Neji this year. I can't keep holding back, college is the time for relationships. Besides, you're in dance and Ino's a theatre freak so you'll still be in the performing arts building with musicians and at least Neji and I are at the same college. It could be worse we could be at different colleges and I wouldn't see him at all."

"You just said college boys were immature." Ino complained

"Yea but Neji different, he's so cool, and he's way more mature than at least a good 95% of the boys at high school ever were".

"I don't care about immaturity the fact that its college boys, COLLEGE BOYYYYYYS." Ino sang in a high-pitched voice.

Tenten's sweat dropped in reaction. Everyone stopped talking, they could her Hinata's low murmur and turned to listen "I-I-I"… she stopped, realizing the girls were all staring and felt the sudden awkwardness.

"Its okay Hinata say what you have to say." Ino said

"I-I-I want... to... try and…be…with…Naruto-kun. She whispered as she pressed her two index fingers together. She would often do this when she felt nervous

Tenten smikrked

"Oh that's it haha oh Hinata we knew that whenever he talks to you, your face turns bright red"

The girls began to laugh at their friend's obliviousness

"IT'S THAT OBVIOUS?" Hinatas face turned a deep shade of red

"Woahhhh Hinata i've never herd you be that loud before." Tenten gasped

"Ha-ha don't worry about it Naruto's an idiot so he wont even notice

Sakura said trying to comfort the worried Hinata

"Seriously Hina, don't worry about it I'm sure hell see how wonderful you are, I mean he's at least got a little knowledge enough to know you wouldn't hurt a fly."

"Arigato Sakura-san"

And the look of worry and confusion was replaced with a light smile.

"Buzz….buzz…buzz." Sakura looked down to see her pocket vibrating she took out her phone and opened it up to see a text from "baka"

"Ahh guys Naru told us to meet at some fountain, he said to just keep following the main path on campus and we'll get to it."

The elevator opened and the girls stepped out into the lobby and retreated outside to make their way onto campus….

Half an hour earlier…..

A dark haired boy slept peacefully, as his dark blue bed sheets only covered the bottom half of his body, having slid off of his topless and well defined torso during the night. The rays of sun rise broke throgh the open blinds that covered the window across from his bed. Light filled the room shining mainly on the sleeping young man, who was about to wake up due to "the goddamn morning sunrise" as he would refer to it. He slowly awoke, opening the pair of onyx eyes that girls basically cried over.

As he took the back of his hand rubbing one of his eyes in utter annoyance

"Hn, how annoying" he whispered calmly "first day of college, and I get woken up an hour early". He cursed the light that shone through the window and thought he may as well get ready anyway since he was up.

He looked over to the bed next to him where a certain idiot with spiky blonde hair slumped over a drool stained pillow, snoring like a "goddamn mammoth or something". The idiot who couldn't fit a better description of onyx boy's best fried. Naruto Uzamaki.

Sasuke and Naruto had been best friends since early child hood and it had stayed that way despite Sasuke's departure of 4 years. "Hmph, Dobe" he sighed, as he slowly walked across the creaky wooden floors in effort to avoid waking Naruto.

He shut the door behind him as he walked into the bathroom and carried on to remove his black boxer shorts before stepping into the shower. When the Uchiha was cleaned up he retreated to his closet where he randomly grabbed a pair of black skinnies and a black V-neck t-shirt that fitted his torso perfectly and showed off his collar bone. He pushed a black studded belt through the loop holes of his jeans.

When he checked his hair real fast in the mirror he saw strands of ebony hair that formed uneven bangs covering his forehead, and spiked up at the back of his head. He had the hair of a J-rocker which made perfect sense considering he had wanted to pursue music his entire life, being influenced by j-rock and classic metal and rock bands from countries like England and the U.S at such an early age.

"Hm, teme" Sasuke turned around to see his best friend beginning to sit up with his eyes still half shut.

"Hn I see your finally awake dobe."

"Huh? Wha its only 7:30."

"College starts at 8:00 baka."

"Sooo I don't need an hour to get ready."

"Dobe its half an hour, when did you ever take math?"

Naruto was now fully awake

"for your information teme I took math all FOUR YEARS of high school!"

"Yea and flunked pretty much every class."

"Ahh so what!"

"You have half an hour to get ready."

"Whatever I only need 5 minutes."

"You're not going to shower?"

"Hmph I don't need too."

"Dobe you're going to smell like a dead rat."

"HEY! I do not smell like a dead rat."

"Oh yea I forgot, sorry my mistake, you smell like a dead skunk."

"Ahh TEMEEEEE". Naruto fumed

"Just hurry up and get ready we don't wanna be late baka."

"Hmph."

After Naruto was finished downing 5 cups of instant ramen in less than 10 minutes which Sasuke watched in amazement and disgust, both of the boys were ready to go.

Naruto slipped two drumsticks in the back pocket of his dark wash skinnyjeans, tugged on his orange v neck tee, and stuffed his feet into a pair of white doc martens. He touched his neck to feel a chain, which brushed against his collar bone , to make sure a small leaf symbol was still there; he held It up, admiring it for 2 seconds before hiding it under his shirt again.

While Naruto did this, Sasuke slipped on a pair of black toms, picking up his guitar case on the way out the door.

Just as he stepped out side the dorm something fell out of his jacket. He noticed this bending down to pick up a white slip of paper and turning it over to reveal a photo.

In the photo a young Sasuke at age 11 was standing next to a younger and goofier looking Naruto and a girl the same age with long pink hair. She was smiling enthusiastically in the picture, she looked happy. There was a sense of naiveté in the picture, a common aspect among most 11 year olds. Sasuke smiled as he began to remember how he acted back then, how Naruto was still the same as he always was. As for the girl in the picture…

"Sakura" he whispered softly tracing his fingers over the image.

He hadn't seen her for four entire years, they were 14 when they had their last real glimpse of each other.

He had sacrificed four years of his teen life too private training in music. For this he had to leave Konoha, he studied in Europe under the best. His parents, who had high expectations of their son would only allow him to pursue a career in rock and roll, if he took the time to study classical music first. Over the years he was able to master the art of violin, various forms of percussion and piano, guitar was already a constant in his life.

He had now returned to Japan and it was time for college.

Konoha Institute of the Arts had a high reputation for its performing arts program; it was a school for all the 3 types, performing, visual and language arts. He didn't really understand why he chose this school there were so many out there. He assumed it was because he missed Japan, but he truly didn't know what pulled him. He would be among his friends again. After being alone for a few years he couldn't help but smile at the idea of being among a couple of people again. Although his tendencies came off as cold hearted, there were a few people he could stand and they were his friends. Everyone else was an annoyance. Its was bothersome having to worry about girls throwing themselves at him for his looks and "cool attitude" or guys trying to be his friend so they could look cool and perhaps also get a shot at being a "ladies man". .

He traced his eyes back to the image of Sakura, "Hmph… annoying, clingy, loud, weak, kind." His mind ran along memories of her. The many times he rejected her, told her to go, yet she was still nicer than ever to him. Yea she would have her tendencies but she always forgave him. When they were 13 he had to stay home from school a whole week due to a nasty fever. She took good care of him that week, she would bring all the school work he had missed to him and would even go over the important lessons he hadn't been able to get at. On the day he left Konoha, she said those 3 words that he just pushed away to the back of his mind "I love you".

"Hn Sakura, I bet she's changed her mind by now he thought after all it's been 4 years Haruno.
