I'm writing the first fanfiction I've written in a long time, and it's a crossover with Naruto and my own series "Chris Lynheart",
I'd like to know if you think what you're about to read is scary, or at the very least, unnerving. If you want to know what leads to these developments, click on the link so you have an idea of what's going on.

Having worked a double shift, Sakura slowly made her way home, exhausted from using up so much of her Chakra reserves. It was nearly three in the morning, and she had to be back again at eight to finish what seemed like an impossible task.
“Man, what’s up with Lady Tsunade all of a sudden? She’s never like this.” Sakura thought to herself, “If she’s so concerned about Naruto, why doesn’t she make some…Shadow Clones…to…” She slapped herself on the forehead, “Are you kidding me?! I think of that now when it’s practically no use?” She groaned in frustration, “Oh, well, I can at least bring up the idea tomorrow. Tsunade would surely have enough Chakra to do this, right?” She continued to think about new ideas the rest of the way to her house.
When she reached her house, Sakura found a note on the door left behind by her mother,
Sakura,
Something’s come up. I’ll be gone for a few days.”
Love, Mom.
Sakura, still angry about the last conversation she’d had with her mother, crumpled the paper, and retrieved the spare house key from under a loose board on the porch. She then unlocked the door, and made her way directly to the kitchen to prepare a quick meal.
Once her meal was finished, she proceeded to the Dining Room where she sat down and started eating, but she was interrupted by a loud bang in the room above her. She jumped out of her chair and armed herself with a Kunai Knife, fearing there was a burglar in her house. “Who’s there?!” She called out.
No response.
“I said who’s there?!” Sakura yelled again.
Still, there was no response.
Angry and tired from her last shift, Sakura wasn’t about to put up with the headache of some burglar taking some of her treasured items, and slowly started to make her way up the stairs. When she got to the top of the stairs, she flipped the light switch to the hall, but the light burnt out.
“Oh, you’ve got to be kidding me!” Sakura whispered in an annoyed tone. She stared down the almost pitch black hallway for a moment, letting her eyes adjust to the darkness, and proceeded, ready for anyone to jump on her, or have things the other way around.
“I’m not going to call out again! I’m armed, and will protect myself by whatever means necessary! If you come out now I promise not to harm you. It’d be a lot easier for us both if you just cooperated!” She hollered.
Still, there was no response.
Sakura continued down the hall to the room she heard the crash from, and prepared to storm in. She took a deep breath, and quickly kicked the door open, only to find a completely empty room, leaving her very confused.
“What the? I could’ve swore I heard a crash up here.” She said while scratching her head. She skimmed the floor to see if anything had just fallen off a shelf, but didn’t find anything. She looked around for a few more seconds, then started to leave. “Hmm…weird.”
Before she got to the door, it slammed shut in front of her, making her jump back screaming. She could then hear the sound of someone running down the stairs, and she immediately gave chase. She jumped over the railing at the end of the hall, and landed on the ground floor.
“Okay, there are only so many places you can hide now. Come out, and I promise not to harm you.” She said, checking behind her as she walked around the house.
Still, there was no answer, but this time, she heard something come from the basement.
She ran to the basement door, opened it, and saw nothing but pitch blackness. The air grew unnervingly cold and still, and Sakura suddenly had a bad feeling in her gut. Ignoring her better judgement, she turned the lights on, and slowly descended down the stairs. Once she reached the bottom, she armed herself with another Kunai Knife, and prepared for what she assumed would be an ambush.
“Last. Warning.” Sakura said slowly, “Come out, and I will not use force.”
She was answered with nothing bus silence, but the atmosphere was growing more uncomfortable. Sakura walked further into the basement, but suddenly, the door at the top of the stairs slammed shut, and the one light in the basement started flickering madly. The air grew almost unbreathable, and Sakura saw a shadow move in the corner of her eye. Wanting nothing to do with what was going on, she ran as fast as she could for the stairs, but heard the lightbulb explode, darkening the entire basement. She moved as fast as she could up the stairs, but could sense there was another presence right behind her all the way up, reaching out to grab her. When she reached the top of the stairs, she busted through the door, slammed it shut behind her, and ran outside as quick as she could.
Sakura was now leaning on her knees, trying to catch her breath. She looked back at her house with a terrified and confused face, “What the hell was that?!” She yelled, not caring if she woke up the entire neighborhood.
She waited a few minutes to make sure that whatever it was that was chasing her up the stairs wasn’t going to be coming out. The air was normal outside, but she could sense there was definitely something…otherworldly coming from her house. She took a few steps back to look in the upstairs window, but couldn’t see anything. She then looked at the main entrance again, and saw the lights were starting to flicker in the kitchen, then the hallway, then she could hear footsteps going up the stairs with a shadow on the wall.
Going with her better judgement this time, Sakura slowly backed away from her house, and ran towards Ino’s place, leaving the door to her house wide open.
