Whew, another story by moi! This is going to be AU and well a type of Romeo and Juliet story. I love it and adore it. I might actually have to delete Elemental because I'm on a bit of a block with that story to be honest. Anyway, Naruto might seem OOC and so might Sasuke. But they will get better! I promise!

Love Story…
"Runaway with me Sakura," Naruto whispered. She nodded, smiling lovingly , "Yes." Two opposite people, two opposite worlds that weren't meant to collide. Yet it's a Romeo and Juliet, a love story, just say yes.
Prologue – Racing vs. Débutante
The sound of revved motorcycles filled the midnight air. Smoke littered the silvered sky and noisy chattering interrupted the natural, blissful silence.
"Hey Naruto," a brunette teen with a spiked ponytail called and ran to his blonde teammate. "You forgot to sign the forum you knucklehead," he stated and forcefully pushed a piece of paper into the blue-eyed teen's hands. "You have to sign it in order for us to be-able to compete."
Naruto sighed and signed the paper, "I'm sorry Shikamaru, must have slipped my mind," he sheepishly responded and grinned widely. "But we're ready to go now aren't we?" he questioned and motioned toward the array of motorcycles that gleamed behind him.
The teen, known as Shikamaru Nara, nodded, "Yes," he breathed and turned to leave. "Troublesome blonde," he muttered once he was a distance from Naruto. "If you weren't the best I would have kicked you off the team long ago," he whispered.
Naruto watched as Shikamaru stalked off and he sighed in mild frustration. 'The race is going to start soon,' he noted and hurriedly stretched his muscles.
It would be a grueling race.
With slow steps he stepped towards the motorcycles behind him and located his own. A black Honda that could undoubtedly out-run any other known model, it was thanks to this black machine he was the best.
It was also thanks to this black machine he was broke.
The bike was simply decorated with orange and blue vinyl. Stripes ran diagonally across the bike before on the 'shoulder' of the bike was a symbol.
The symbol of Konoha Racing Club
Naruto Namikaze had joined a mere two years ago and in those 24 months he'd achieved great success for the club and he'd put them on the top of the log. He'd made friends with many of the members and there were few who disliked him.
Yet, he gained a nickname within the club, Knucklehead. It was due to his nature that the name arose. He'd protested at first but the name had grown on him and soon he began calling himself Knucklehead.
But that was the nickname only the club knew. To the rest of the racing community he was known as 'Kyuubi'.
He was a fox on the racetrack, and he'd stoop to using tricks in order to win. It wasn't against the rules, it wasn't frowned upon and it gave him superiority. Many wished to be him and many despised him.
He shook his head, the blonde locks ruffling round him, and climbed onto the shimmering black bike. He placed the matching black helmet upon his head and revved the engine.
The bike purred in satisfaction as he drove it forward and into the line-up. He was soon joined by Shikamaru, Kiba and Chouji.
A scantily dressed woman waltzed up before them and smiled flirtatiously. She raised the checked flag in her hand and swiftly brought it down.
The race was on.

Sakura Haruno sighed in content as she added the final touches to the make-up she wore. A golden eye-shadow, mascara, light pink lipstick and a tiny amount of blush was used to create near perfection. Her long, silky pink locks were twisted into an elaborate bun with bangs hanging in her face, covering her emerald eyes slightly.
A golden satin dress hugged her lithe body and showed her feminine curves. Thin, sequin-decorated straps stuck to her shoulders and connected to the bodice. The bodice was bunched at her chest and netting covered it. The rest sparkled gently in the light. The skirt reached the floor and a light layer of netting was placed on top of it. A slit ran down the skirt, starting from her thigh. The back of the bodice was open, kept together with pieces of material that allowed her creamy back to show.
It was the perfect dress.
She twirled before the mirror and smiled happily.
She'd be the belle of the ball tonight.
Hesitantly she reached for a gold necklace and tied it. It suited the dress and she watched as the diamante caught the light.
'They won't believe this,' she thought and walked to the door of her room. 'I don't believe this almost, me a debutante,' she continued and confidently stepped out the confines of her room.
Her mother, Mizuki Haruno, and her father, Ryoko Haruno, greeted her at the bottom of the staircase. Both of their faces held grins.
"You look lovely Sakura," her father commented and held out a hand for the descending pinkette.
She gladly took his hand and allowed herself to be pulled into a light embrace. She smiled as he released her and she gracefully turned to her mother. Mizuki Haruno in turn pecked her blush coated cheek.
"No-one will be-able to take their eyes off of you darling," she articulated. "I'm sure Mr. Uchiha will not leave your side tonight."
Sakura nodded in hope and faith.
She'd been 'in love' with Sasuke Uchiha since childhood and the love hadn't faded with time. It had grown and finally, the Uchiha had noted her feelings and asked her out.
It'd been a 'match made in heaven'. Top of the class, Sakura Haruno and rich-boy, head-boy, Sasuke Uchiha, no other could compare.
Their relationship had been inevitable. That was how it worked in high school, especially one as prestigious as Konoha Academy.
Sasuke Uchiha was the boy every girl wanted and every guy hated. Sakura Haruno was the girl every guy wanted and every girl hated. They were perfect, literally.
The doorbell rang and Sakura effortlessly strolled to the door and pushed open the door, only to be greeted by the stoic charm of Sasuke. With a chaste kiss he held an arm for her and she gladly took it.
Tonight was her night.
-----
It was exhilarating.
The wind, the sound of machinery, the adrenaline rush and the freedom was all that came with the thrill of street racing.
It was a thrill Naruto Namikaze lived for.
He pushed his bike harder and it responded with speed, uncontrollable speed, which he lived for.
If he lost, it didn't matter; tonight the passion of the sport was all that mattered.
He was ahead, naturally, with a member from a rival team in second.
They'd never catch up with him.
He was alone in this world and he would allow none into this world he'd created. It was no wonder he was the best.
The finish line streamed by and he slowed his bike, disappointment running through his veins. 'That race was way too short,' he thought and pouted.
He glanced to the side to see Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru's girlfriend, sprint toward the brunette and embrace him. He kissed her silently and returned the embrace.
Naruto shook his head and turned away. Love had never been his interest.
He respected those that loved but he'd never have time to love. His love was his sport and his bike.
He sighed and watched as the girl from earlier swayed to him, a trophy in hand. She reached him and handed him the prize. He knew she tried to hit on him when she hugged him, but her attempts wouldn't work.
He'd never fall in love
-----
"You look handsome tonight Sasuke-kun," Sakura commented, admiring the black tuxedo he donned, as they swayed to the music of the band.
They'd been at the ball for an hour and already Sasuke fended off all preying predators. Sakura had done the same. Jealously ran through both their veins and they would never let another invade.
She leaned into his chest as the song continued. The rhythmic beating of his heart soothed her. His touch on her intoxicated her and when he kissed her forehead she gripped him for support.
No other had this effect on her.
When the song ended Sasuke excused himself and she effortlessly flounced to the table where they sat. She lovingly watched as Sasuke strode to the bathroom.
She'd always be in love.

Little did Naruto Namikaze and Sakura Haruno know that their worlds were about to unexpectedly collide
Well I hope you liked that... I loved writing it out. It was so much fun and I've had this idea cooking in my head for quite some time!
Please R&R!
