Summary: Alcoholic father, abused child, rape, dead mother, a new town, and the Boy Next Door. This is Sakura Haruno's life.
Pain Means You're Alive
Konoha, some says it's the place of family, others will say it's the perfect place for dreams. To Sakura Haruno, it was just another town to flea out of in about 2 months. She was sitting next to her father in the moving truck going to her next house. Now its called a house because it wont ever be her home due to the time to settle down.
As the moving truck pulled into a driveway, she took the time to study the house. It was a Khaki color with a big backyard it seemed like. But her eyes traveled to the house next to theirs. White with Navy Blue shutters, a big porch with an even bigger backyard, and mostly likely a pool. 'Great, rich people' Sakura thought to herself.
But her eyes kept traveling to the neighbor's driveway. There, playing basketball, was a tall, dark and handsome guy. He looked about her age (17-18). Had dark ebony hair, with a slight blue tint, it was in the shape of a chickens ass. Man was he muscular, not like body builder, but more like a QB on a football team, or like one of those basketball guys. You could see because he was completely shirtless with black basketball shorts. He wasn't tan at all, but that just made his look complete.
But she didn't notice that her dad already got out of the truck and opened the back. In a sweet voice he woke her out of her daydream. "Sakura? Sakura, sweetie, come help me with this." That voice disgusted her. She knew as soon as she got into the house, his mood will switch and she'll have to find her makeup bag. But she quickly got out of the truck and ran round back.
Mumbling underneath his breath, he stated "Sakura as soon as you get into the house, get your ass into the basement." "Yes father". "Alright sweetie can you carry this and this without hurting yourself?" He asked using his sweet voice again. She winced at the sudden weight he gave her and nodded.
She also over heard one of the neighbors. "Sasuke, honey, go help our neighbors." Suddenly she felt herself falling forwards. But she was engulfed with a wonderful smell and two strong arms wrapped around her. The things she was carrying was already neatly put on the ground. Shocked emerald eyes met dark stoic onyx orbs. "T-Th-Thank you" she finally muttered out. "Be careful" was all he said. She nodded once and started picking up the things she dropped. 'I'm Sakura" "Hn Sasuke" He picked up the heavier item.
"You don't have to do this, my father and I can do this." She said as they both walked through the front door. "Nah I have to be here just incase you fall again, I have to be there to catch you." He smirked at her.
