June 29, 2011: Hey, people! I'm back from the dead! :D Lol, sort of actually. Well, I would like to say, first of all, I'm sorry! I got a major writer's block… I know what the main things that are going to happen I just needed (and still need in some parts) the details! Sooo, as I write the 7th chapter, I plan to rewrite some or maybe all chapters. Why? Well, WhatChuuKnowBoutMe brought up the fact I didn't write of Sasuke's and Sakura's friendship as much as I should. So, yeah, incredibly sorry for all the months that has passes without a single update!

Hey Fanfiction! This is my first fanfiction. I read alot and I wanted to make a story. But I never had enough guts to publish one! ;)

But this one has been invading my mind for awhile now sooo yeah!

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or the song "Concrete Angel" by Martina Mcbride. If I did, I would be filthy rich! ;) But I'm don't! TT-TT


She walks to school with a lunch she packed.

"Poor girl…" Sasuke heard his best friend's twin sister murmur.

Sasuke stiffened and slowly turned around, already knowing who Ino was referring to.

There was Sasuke's neighbor, Sakura Haruno. She first moved in last summer. She was a short girl, 5'4, the shortest 17 girl he has ever seen. She was sort of a close friend, in a way. And the most beautiful angelic girl he knew and that's saying something since he had tons stalking him every day, and he even dated one or two (Worst mistakes of my life). She carried her sack lunch, walking towards the school grounds; like always.

Slowly a smile (A Small one) made way through Sasuke's face, but it fell when he remembered the morning routine.

Shit! Karin!

And as always, number 1 Sasuke fan girl and slut, Karin, followed by her posse, awaited for her arrival; waiting, to bully the small girl, as the small girl did nothing about it.

Annoying, won't hurt others even if they hurt her, Tch. But Sasuke kept his eyes on her skipping figure.

Nobody knows what she's holding back.

"We r-r-really should h-help her…" Sasuke heard Hinata, Naruto's girlfriend, whispered as her lavender pupil less eyes looked over to the Sakura.

Ah, we should but…

Sasuke looked over his shoulder to his friends to see Shikamaru sighed as his girlfriend and her best friend continue looking at the small, awfully optimistic, girl. "We will when Karin makes a move. We don't want to make a show when nothing is happening."

Took the words out of my mind, Nara.

Ino nodded at her boyfriend's wise words. Then her sharp icy blue eyes narrowed down in suspicion and confusion. "Isn't that the same dress, she wore yesterday?"

Wearing the same dress she wore yesterday.

Spinning around, Sasuke narrowed his eyes as well; the girl wore exactly the same white sundress with red pinkish flowers with her favorite white gladiators and just over her dress was a red cardigan sweater just like yesterday. Along with the same white diamond heart shaped pendant with a silver chain that Sasuke saw her with everyday. The same dress she wore when Sasuke first set his eyes on her. Now it's been 6 months, and Sasuke cannot keep his eyes away from her petite but curvy figure or her warm sunshine happy face.

His obsidian eyes roamed the small girl, he always admired from a distance. Her long bubblegum pink hair was braided on each side of her heart shaped face came into one long braid, with a big red ribbon tied securely behind her.

She never wears her hair down… I wonder why? Sasuke quietly wondered but quickly resumed observing his angel.

Her bangs covered her forehead, which Karin claims abnormally bigger than normal. Her big jade eyes looked innocently over to Karin. Her full lips were pulled up to a smile as she waved to her bully, innocently.

Sasuke stared in disbelief, so did his friends.

"Hey guys!" Naruto came running to them, catching everyone's attention.

"Oi, Ino-Chan," Naruto put his big brother serious face once he stopped in front of the younger Uzumaki , "Why didn't you wake me?"

Ino pouted, watching her twin relax before she replied in soft tone, "I'm sooo sorry, Naruto. I was going to wake you, but you look tired and so I left…"

Naruto barked out a laugh, putting an arm around Hinata who blushed madly. "Oh, it's good to know someone loves me! Well, other than Hina-Chan here."

Ino rolled her eyes playfully as she snuggled in Shika's arms.

"Troublesome women," Nonetheless he laid his head on Ino's shoulder, as she gasped and slapped his arm.

Sasuke rolled his eyes and ran his pale smooth hand through his ebony hair, which was unique as the pink haired angel. His hair sticks up at the back while his bangs hang freely. A strange hair style, indeed.

His eyes roamed the school yard until he caught sight of his little angel. He narrowed his eyes as he watched silently as Sakura skipped happily towards the entrance while Karin was waiting nearby with a smirk. She continued walking, unaware of eyes following her. She stopped in front of Karin, with her eyes shined happily, and her grin showing her pearly white.

His eyes widen, Are you stupid! You never, and I repeat, never approach someone who hates your guts with that dazzling smile!

He would not see his (almost his) princess get hurt, so he walked over with his poker face in play.

"Oi, teme! Where are you going?" The idiot yelled. Ino, Shikamaru, and Hinata widen their eyes, already knowing what he intended to do. Ino got to her feet and dragged her boy as they try to catch up with Sasuke. Hinata followed her best friend's example.

"Oi, Hina-chan, what are you- oh!" Naruto's widen his cerulean eyes as he realizes his best friend intention.

Sasuke growled once he heard Karin's usual morning 'greeting'.

"Oh, look what garbage man brought in!" Ami sneered as Karin smirked.

"Oh, Saki dear," Karin's shrill voice said in a fake friendly tone.

"Ohayo Gozaimasu, Karin-Chan!" Sakura smiled.

Sasuke growled louder as he neared them.

"My dear, would you like to have lunch with us?" Karin asked in a sickly sweet voice.

Sakura's eyes widen. But she didn't reject Karin as Sasuke hoped she would. Instead she smiled.

Is she really stupid! No, she can't be that stupid! She's as smart as me and the lazy ass! You, idiot, say no!

"Why, Karin-Chan, I would lo-" Sasuke noticed she stopped. He froze when she turned around to greet him.

"Ohayo Gozaimasu, Sasuke-Kun!" She grinned at him.

He felt himself loss for words. Just one look at her angelic face was enough for this Uchiha to feel like he is in heaven. He looked at her happy jade eyes. How can she be so happy?

"Sasuke-Kun!" Karin shrieked as she threw herself at him.

Growling loudly, he ripped her off of himself and pushed her away.

Karin pouted, "S'okay, Sasuke-Kun. We can show pinky how much we love each other! I won't care if everyone saw our love-y-dove-y-"

"Ohayo Gozaimasu, Ino-Chan, Naruto-Kun, Shikamaru-Kun, Hinata-Chan!" Sakura greeted with her happy smile interrupting Karin.

Naruto, Hinata, Ino, and Shika walked beside Sasuke and Sakura.

"You okay?" Ino and Hinata asked as she turned to the girl who was about at least 4 inches smaller than both of them.

"Of course, Ino-Chan, Hinata- Chan! Why wouldn't I be?" Sakura's smile turned to an adorable pout.

The girls shook their heads quickly with a smile, not bothering to answer since they both know she was too innocent and optimistic to think people were evil; Take Karin, she bullies Sakura, verbally and physically but Sakura, herself doesn't mind.

Sasuke turned his attention at the same time Sakura started pouting. His expression relaxed until it was a complete bliss. He took a step closer to Sakura.

Sakura looked up at him with her big eyes; he stared back. Her eyes… Showed some many emotions: happiness, confusion, and… fear? But the fear he thought he saw disappeared quickly.

His eyebrows furrowed together as he wondered what could make her scared of him. He didn't do anything to her other than saying 'hello' and 'goodbye', defending her from Karin, and… Stare at her in between tests, lessons, and the rest of time during school.

Maybe that's why… She's scared I might rape her or something… NO! She can't be thinking that. Whenever the class would joke with Kakashi and his porn, she would look confused. Maybe she's scared I might yell and push her away like what I did with Karin… But she wouldn't think that! I mean, we are kind of close since Oka-San invites her over almost every day. Then… Why?

Sasuke opened his mouth to say something, but Karin came over, clinging to him.

The slut looked at him with her wine colored eyes, and attempting to pout the same way Sakura had.

"Sasuke-Kun! Don't pay attention to that ugly, dirty, poor excuse of nature! Don't fall for her witchy bitchy powers!" Karin cried hysterically.

Sasuke's eye twitch; he pushed her off again, and looked desperately at Ino and the rest.

Ino nodded, knowing Sasuke hated suddenly opening up and wanted her to defend Sakura, "Hey Karin!"

Karin stopped, her face covered in fake tears, and spat, "What, you obese pig?"

Ino's eye twitched but continued with a smirk, "Sakura's not ugly, you are. She represents cherry blossoms: sweet and fragile. ("So you better not break her!" Naruto added in the background) While you… Are nothing like that! You're just a bitchy slut/whore! Sasuke doesn't like girls who smell like other man whores! So fuck off, bitch!"

Karin snorted, "Everyone loves me, your just jealous!"

Ino snorted as well as she pointed to Karin, "Who in the right mind would be jealous of that!"

"Everyone!" Karin sneered, as she ungracefully gestured to herself then to the people around them. Ino raised a single eyebrow, and then she grabbed her megaphone, used for cheerleading practice, from her bag.

Ino turned to Naruto and asked sweetly, "Brother, dear, can you whistle into the megaphone?"

Sasuke knew something was coming up; Ino and sweet did not mix at most times.

Though he, Naruto, had a confused expression on his face he did what he was asked.

Soon everyone turned to Ino who had a sweet smile, "If anyone likes this song, please raise your hand in the end."

She paused as a wave of nods came through the students.

"Here I go:

I love you

You love me

Let's go out and KILL KARIN

With a 'death bomb'

Bang! Boom!

KARIN'S ON THE FLOOR

No more stupid SLUT SLASH WHORE!"

Ino paused. A loud cheer came from the students as they raised their hands as they chanted the last line: "No more stupid slut slash whore!"

"What now, bitch?" Ino smirked as Karin silently fumed.

"Humph!" Karin stomped into the school with her posse running after their leader.

But before she went inside, the bitch hit her shoulder with Sakura's, making her fall to her butt.

Once Karin was directly in front of the school entrance doors, she turned around and smirked at Sakura, "There would be more pain, Saki-Dear!"

Then she left…

Sasuke kneeled before Sakura and helped her up. But before she fixed herself, Sasuke saw bruises on her right shoulders. Then he froze; eyes widen at the sight.

She hides the bruises with linen and lace, oh

He felt the anger build up quickly inside of him. Whoever did this will PAY! PAY! I bet its Karin. That stupid bitch! Doesn't she know that I LOVE Sakura! And that will never EVER change! Wait! I have been protecting Sakura for about a week now. That bruise looks fresh. Then who has been hurting her? What if-

RING! RING! RING!

The bell rang, but Sasuke made no move, his eyes, flashing between red and black, stayed on Sakura's figure.

"Well, Sasuke, we are gonna get going! Okay!" Ino yelled as she dragged the others.

Sakura looked innocently up at Sasuke, "Sasuke-Kun, we should get going. If we don't, we'll be late…"

"Who did that to you?" Sasuke demanded as his hands tightened around Sakura's wrist.

"W-w-wh-what d-d-o you m-mean?" She squirmed under his gaze and flinched when he squeezed her wrist.

"That bruise on your shoulder!" He hissed, squeezing her wrist more.

"I-I-I… It hurts!" She cried, tears bursting out of her eyes.

Sasuke's eyes widen and he quickly let go of the girl and hang his head in shame, "I'm sorry, Sakura…"

He closed his eyes and started yelling in his head. You idiot! Even Naruto knows not hurt the girl of his dreams! You fucking bastard! You deserve to be called 'TEME'! You deserve to die in-"

He froze when arms slid around his neck in a hug, a head rested on his shoulder. It was Sakura.

"It's okay… It's okay…" She murmured, comforting him.

Then Sasuke burst out crying, saying, "Sorry, Sorry! I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sooo sorry, Sakura! I am! I'm so sorry…!"

It went like that with Sasuke apologizing and with Sakura saying its okay, over and over again…
