Chapter 1

Scarred

Standing there in her high school uniform, her short pink hair flows with the wind. Sakura petals from the tree in front of her swirl around pass her. Holding her hand out, a petal fell onto her hands.

"It's spring already huh?" Sakura smiled, "Finally!" Sakura smirked, "Sasuke-kun will definitely fall in love with me this semester!'

"Why don't you just give up Sakura?" Ino smacked Sakura in the back of the head.

"INO PIG!" Sakura growled, "Why? You jealous?" Sakura stuck her tongue out. Laughters from both the girls roared through the entrance of the high school next to the Sakura trees.

"Sakura-chan!" Naruto the blonde boy with whiskers smiled cheerfully. Behind him walked the one and only Uchiha Sasuke. Blushing at his elegance, Sakura smiled luminously.

"Sasuke-kun! Good morning!" She ran to his side and walked with him.

"OY!" Girls began to surround him as soon as Sakura initiated her move.

"Sasuke-kun!" Every girl called him. Looking at the crowd Naruto simply smiled.

"Teme's popular like always," Naruto smiled.

"Hinata is already inside…" Ino crossed her arms as she watch Sakura protect Sasuke.

"Ah shit!" Running quickly inside Naruto left.

With a sigh, Ino smiled, "Ganbare Sakura."

"YAH!" Sakura punched the girl on both her left and right, "I'm his body guard! Stay away from Sasuke-kun!" Sakura barked. Annoyed, Sasuke holds onto Sakura's hair tightly.

"Oy, Sakura," Sasuke spoke.

"OUCH! Sasuke-kun?" Sakura glared behind her. His cold eyes melted her heart and she smiled.

"Would you quit doing this every morning it's annoying!" He barked coldly letting go of her hair and walked pass her.

"I don't want to!" Sakura smiled as she ran by his side, "I want Sasuke-kun to fall in love with me!" Sakura smiled brightly.

"Shut-up!" Sasuke ignored her and continue to walk, "If you really love me Sakura," He smirked, "Make sure none of these girls enter the building until I get into class."

"Hai!" Sakura smiled with a wink, "I got you!" With a peace sign Sakura stands firmly in front of the entrance making sure no one passes her fist. Walking into the room, Sasuke walked towards his desk by the window.

"Baka," Sasuke glared out the window.

"Teme!" Naruto said pulling a seat beside him, "You want to go karaoke after school with the group?"

"Whatever," Sasuke said pulling out his phone.

"Who are you waiting to text you?" Naruto asked snooping at his phone.

"Can you get out of my business Dobe!" Sasuke pushed the blonde's face away.

With a smile Naruto barked, "Hey! Sasuke is searching through naughty sites!" He said aloud.

"DOBE!" Sasuke barked. As he was about to punch Naruto, the bell rang and Naruto quickly took his chance to run to his desk located in the middle of the seats behind Hinata the Hyuuga heiress. Her eyes glows like that of a pearl. Letting out a sigh of relief, Sasuke sits back in his seat. The white hair teacher with a mask covering his mouth walked in holding books in his hand.

"Ok," he smiled politely, "Good morning!"

"Good morning Kakashi-sensei!" The class yelled. Looking at the seats, everyone was present except for the seat beside Sasuke.

"Haruno Sakura?" Kakashi asked, "I thought I saw her?"

"HERE!" Sakura quickly runs in and sits.

"You're late again!" Kakashi barked.

"Sorry Sensei!" Sakura smiled as she fixes the knots in her hair.

"Sakura?" Ino turned to look at her, "Did you fight?" She whispered. Nodding her head, Sakura smiled and replied, "Shhhh."

"Yamanaka! Turn around!" Kakashi said nonchalantly.

"Sakura, since it's your third time this week, you are to clean the classroom after class," Kakashi said.

"I can't," Sakura smiled.

"Why is that?" Kakashi asked.

"I'm Sasuke-kun's body guard!" Sakura smirked.

Scratching his head, Kakashi smiled, "Well, then I guess that means Sasuke has to clean up too then?"

"What?" Sasuke barked, "Why do I need to stay after school to clean with this idiot?"

Sakura glared at the angered Sasuke.

"She said she's your bodyguard," Kakashi said.

"She's not," Sasuke said sitting back down, "She's lying."

"Huh…" Kakashi sighed, "Well then you have to stay here and clean Sakura! If you don't we will report it to your parents that you are misbehaving!" Kakashi said.

"I don't care," Sakura smirked.

Angering Kakashi, he smiled ignorantly, "Or should I inform Tsunade-sama?"

Silently, Sakura crossed her arms and sighed, "I guess I wouldn't mind…" Sakura whined, "Why seeennnsseeeiii!" Sakura pouted the entire class time.

Walking Sasuke to class, Sakura continue to protect him from any annoying fan. When lunch finally starts, Sasuke had disappeared.

"Where did he go?" Sakura walked around the garden. Out of the blue, she hears the voice of Sasuke. Lightening up, Sakura runs around the corner to find Sasuke holding a reddish pink hair girl in his embrace.

"Sasuke...kun…" Sakura glares. Sasuke looks up glances at Sakura. With a few seconds, Sakura and Sasuke made eye contact. Quickly running back around the corner, Sakura sighed. Upset, Sakura bit her lips and began to eaves drop in their conversation. Trying to listen to their conversation, she couldn't hear anything. Nosy, Sakura stuck her ear to the corner as she faces away.

"Why can't I hear them?" Sakura whispered.

"Hear who?" Sakura looked up. The darkness of his hair darkened his face along with the shadow silhouette covering his face. Staring straight into his dark coal eyes, Sakura gulped down her saliva. Darkness gloomed over his face as Sakura giggled scared out of her mind. Backing away from him, she smiled in fear. Watching her back away, Sasuke smirked.

"Hi Sasuke-kun…" Sakura practically whispered.

"What's wrong Sakura?" Sasuke smirked as he realize how scared she was. She continued to back away from him slowly; however, he slams his left arm into the wall beside Sakura so she was closed in from behind where the wall is.

"What's wrong...Sasuke-kun?" Sakura mumbled looking away from his eyes. Leaning into her till she felt his warmth breathing on her cheeks. With the satisfaction from her reaction, Sasuke smirked. He realized she tried her best not to breathe. Learning in closer till his mouth is inches apart from her ear.

"What did you hear?" Sasuke asked.

"Nothing… I really heard nothing…" Sakura waved her hands back and forth trying to emphasize that she really didn't hear anything.

"What did you see?" Sasuke asked.

Sakura spoke softly as she realize she is not able to escape the Uchiha, "I saw you with a senior… embracing her…" Sakura tried her best to further their distance.

"If you tell anyone...you're dead," Sasuke growled with a smirk as he realize how flustered she is still, "Or…" Sasuke leaned away a little and took a good glance at her.

"What…?" Sakura whispered still as she continue to refuse to look at him.

"I'll give you an award to shut-up about what you saw," he said as he turned his face to kiss her. Eyes opening wide, Sakura felt his mouth on hers and quickly pushes away. Laughing, Sasuke smirked.

"With that you should be happy. If I hear anything about what you saw-" Sasuke felt a hard slap on his left cheek. Glaring at Sakura who swung her hands. After realizing what she did, Sakura runs off with tears in her eyes. Shocked and irritated by her actions, Sasuke grinned his teeth together.

"Tch, annoying," Sasuke whispered.

Running to the Sakura tree in front of the school, Sakura hid in the bushes.

"...Why?" Sakura touched her lips. Her face held stains of tears.

"Why aren't I happy?" Sakura cried as she tugs her feet into her chest, "I should be happy Sasuke-kun kissed me…" Sakura bit her lips, "Baka… how could he kiss me...to threaten me…" Sakura sighed. "DING DONG!" The bell for class rang.

"DAMN IT!" Sakura ran fast towards her classroom.

"Huh?" Ino looks at Sasuke who enters the room with no Sakura beside him, "Where's your bodyguard?"

Growling at Ino, Sasuke tuck his hands in his pocket and walked by ignoring her.

"...What happen?" Ino panicked, "Sakura would never do miss her chance!" Ino took out her phone.

Reaching the third floor, Sakura stares down the hall seeing Kakashi-sensei walking to class.

"SHIMATTA!" Sakura screamed trying to get Kakashi-sensei to look back. As he does so, Sakura quickly runs towards the room. Reaching the room before Kakashi, Sakura sighs as she opens the door loudly.

"SAKURA!" Kakashi grunts behind her.

"Oh, Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura fixes her skirt and her hair, "I am here on time today!" She winked at him with a peace sign.

"Really?" He barks with a sigh, "Whatever… get in your seat!"

"Hai!" Sakura skips to her desk but she suddenly realizes what happened before. She suddenly touches her lips again. Stopping in the middle of the room, she didn't want to sit beside Sasuke.

"What's wrong Sakura?" Ino whispered loudly.

"Sit down Sakura!" Kakashi said. Suddenly, Sasuke turns to glare at her with a smirk. With rage inside of Sakura, she calmly holds it in and walks to her seat.

'Ganbare Sakura...SHANAROO! Don't give in to that jerk! Don't let him use you like that! I will expose him for what he did! I can't just let this go without a battle! EVEN IF IT'S YOU SASUKE-KUN!' Sakura begins to think in her head, 'Why…?' Sakura pouts, 'Why did I spend so many time chasing after him?' Sakura sighed aloud.

"Is there something wrong Sakura?" Kakashi asked turning around. Without realizing Kakashi is speaking to her, Sakura spaced out. Knowing why Sakura is like that, Sasuke turns to face her and pokes her on her hip. Jumping up, Sakura fell out of her seat.

"HARUNO SAKURA! What is it this time?" Kakashi yelled.

"I...I…" She stared at the dreamy and charming Sasuke who is grinning at her. Although he was smiling at her, Sakura knew better, "He's trying to get to my mind!" Sakura thinks to herself. Realizing how hopeless Sakura is, Kakashi continue his studies. As Sakura sat back down in her seat, she refused to look at Sasuke. Looking back at Sakura and Sasuke, Ino's curiosity increase as she watches the young Uchiha taunt Sakura with his glares and smirk.

Confused, Sakura struggles with her unsettle feelings. During Kakashi's teaching, Sakura had chills as she realize someone was glaring at her. Looking around, her eyes meets the same coal dim eyes that she has yearned to look at her for the past years. Flustered, she quickly looks away. Turning red, Sakura looked at her book on her desk and tilted away from his view.

'Stop thinking about it,' Sakura repeated.

As the bell rang for school to end, Sakura runs up to Kakashi trying to avoid anyone talking to her. Watching at her actions, Sasuke became entertained.

"Oi, Teme, you coming?" Naruto slapped Sasuke's shoulder.

"No, Dobe, go ahead. I forgot I had something to do," Sasuke sighed as he leans back into his desk.

"What are you doing?" Naruto asked.

"Something. You can come to my house later if you want," Sasuke offered trying his best to get the whisker boy away.

"Alright! Then, let's eat ramen and play video games!"

"Whatever," Sasuke growled.

"What's wrong with him?" the doggy boy asked.

"Oh, Kiba! Is everyone outside already?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah," Kiba smiled, "Sakura!" He yelled across the room. Standing at the front of the class with Kakashi-sensei, Sakura turned around to look for who's calling her name.

"Oh Kiba!" Sakura smiled.

"Want to Karaoke after you're done?" Kiba asked.

"Yeah, I'll come right after I'm done!" Sakura said calmly forgetting about what was worrying her. Not bothered by their conversation, Sasuke glances at his phone.

"Alright then, see ya!" Naruto and Kiba walked off. With some classmates still in class, Sakura waited for everyone to leave. She waves goodbye to Kakashi, and starts erasing the chalkboard.

"Sasuke-kun!" the same reddish pinkish hair girl stood by the door with her long hair and glasses. Her bold actions were clear and her demands seemed clear to Sakura. Watching Sasuke stand up, Sakura slyly observes as he walks pass her and towards the senior red head girl. Walking off together, Sakura silently left a sigh.

"Why do I need to care?" Sakura continue to scrub the board like crazy. With the image of the two together, Sakura begins to think of her desires and future dream.

"AM I CRAZY!" Sakura sweeps the floor. Slowly, hours has gone by, and the sun began to set. The orange setting in front of her left her nostalgic.

"It's beautiful," Sakura sighed, "AHHH!" Sakura sat down in her desk laying her head down staring at Sasuke's seat, "I tell myself to give up...but...even after what happened...you're threatening me...and...also with someone else… WHY CAN'T I GIVE UP ON YOU...YOU BASTARD!" Sakura stood up quickly as she quicks his chair over.

"AHHH!" Sakura pulls her hair, "GANBARE SAKURA. SHANNAAROOO!" She carries her bookbag and quickly runs out. As she runs to her locker, she quickly puts on her shoes and before she reaches the exit, someone got a hold of her bookbag and pulls her back making her fall to the ground.

"OUCH! WHO IN THE WORLD…" in front of her...the one and only Uchiha Sasuke. Once again, the dark silhouette on his face covers his eyes.

"Sakura," she blushes as she hears her name rolling off his tongue, "Do you clearly understand your position? If I hear you say a single word about what you-"

"If you're talking to me about you and the senior...I won't tell anyone," Sakura's face held honesty. Her eyes didn't waver. She clearly looks him in the eye.

"I'm not someone who will just tell everyone about other people's business," Sakura said. Watching her speechless, Sasuke became satisfied with her answer. He returned the favor of her answer with a smile.

"Then, let's not cross roads again," Sasuke turned his back and turned a little for her to see his smirk, "because...you're annoying." he coldly states with bitterness.

Holding a fist, Sakura's began to water; however, she took a deep breath and smiled.

"Even…" Sakura spoke clearly and firmly, "No...You don't even have to tell me because I decided that our roads won't cross ever again."

"Good," Sasuke coldly and emotionlessly walks out. Sakura waits for ten minutes before leaving campus to think and clear her mind.

"Don't cry Sakura," Sakura looked at the ceiling, "Why cry for that bastard chicken hair...handsome...beautiful...shannarooooo!" Sakura bit her lips.

As night has fallen, and the sun once again rose, Sakura slowly dresses up skipping her breakfast, she walks to school.

"Ahh...I'm early again…" Sakura stopped at the Sakura tree. The wind slowly embraces Sakura; however, the petal of the Sakura dare not fall. Sticking her hands out, not one petal fell.

"Why is it like this?" Sakura asked nonchalantly gloomy. Looking behind her, she realizes that it's about time, students will be coming. She quickly hides in the bush and watches everyone pass by. Standing at the entrance, Ino waits for Sakura.

"Where is that girl?" Ino finally comes across the silent king and the talkative brat, "Hey...have ya'll seen Sakura?" Ino asked.

"That's right...where is Sakura? She never misses us…" He looks around. With a sigh, Ino pouts.

"She should at least tell me where she is!" Ino continues to look down the streets. Without looking, Sasuke smirks and continues to walk towards the crowded fans.

"SASUKE-KUN!" Everyone barges beside him basically touching him.

"wow…" Naruto glares, "I'm glad I'm not him...they're pratically raping him…" Naruto whispered.

"Yeah…" Ino stares. Worried, she takes out her phone and sees that Sakura has texted her

I'll talk to you later! Go to class first!

-Haruno Sakura

"What's wrong with her?" Ino walks pass the crowded fans and walked with Naruto to class.

"Yah...those girls need to keep their hands to themselves!" Sakura growls through the bush.

"Where is that pink haired punk?" The crazy fans whisper among themselves, "Good thing she ain't here! If she is, I'll beat her up for real today!' People continue to celebrate.

"They're going to get a beating later!" Sakura barked quietly cracking her fist. Annoyed by all the fans, Sasuke tries to push through but the barrier of his fans continue to suppress him from doing so.

"My legs are getting tired…" Sakura said as she continues to squat in the bush. Hearing noises from the bush beside him, Sasuke takes a quick glance and smirks.

"Hey Sasuke!" the girls touched his chest.

"HEY!" Sakura yelled through the bush. Everyone quickly backs off the boy and looks around for a bubble gum looking hair.

"Where is she?" they whisper. Taking his chances, Sasuke quickly disappears to class.

"Sasuke-kun?" Everyone searched.

"Where did he go?" They asked.

"Ahh...that handsome…" They breathed with happiness, "Our oxygen,"

"Wow…" Sakura begin to realize, "I wasn't the only one…" Sakura said. Without forgetting, Sakura quickly stands up behind the girls with a fist.

"What's this feeling?" One of the girls asked, "It's hot today."

"It is huh?" Sakura put a hand on a skinny wrinkly and long face girl's shoulder.

"Yeah…" as she glares at Sakura she quickly starts a run along with the rest of the girls, "You wait!" Sakura yelled confidently with a menacing aura hanging around her. Once again, the bell rang before Sakura could get to class.

"AHH DAMN IT!" Sakura sprints.

"HERE!" Sakura opens the door to a filled classroom and Kakashi-sensei who had his hands crossed.

"This is the final warning Sakura. This is the fourth time this week. If one more time, we will call your parents and Tsunade-sama," he said loudly.

"YES!" Sakura barked, "I understand fully!" Sakura sighed as she slowly walks to her seat. Walking by Ino, Sakura slowly mouths, "I'll talk to you later." Nodding, Ino felt more relieved to see her friend at school. Slyly, Sakura tries to steal a glance at Sasuke. At the corner of her eye, she turns a little to see that he wasn't glaring at her. Relieved, Sakura opens her book to the page Kakashi began teaching. Opening two books, Sakura began reading.

As each class period came to be, Sakura had followed Sasuke around secretly trying to keep him safe.

'Even though I told myself I would give up on him...and that I will make sure our paths won't cross anymore…' Sakura pouted as she hides behind lockers, to trees, to poles, and trashcans, 'Haruno Sakura can't give up this easily! Even if I can't have him...I will protect him! THERE's ALWAYS HOPE!' Sakura thought to herself. Watching him from afar and trying her best to stay out of his path.

For the past week, Sakura progresses in trying to secretly protect him or watch him.

After a week, Sakura finally loses sight of him in the progress as she became hungry in the lunch line. Forgetting him for about an hour, Sakura goes to find him. As she rubs her stomach down an empty hall, she reaches the middle of the hallway and stops as she finds Sasuke with his hands in his pocket walking towards her alone. Hypnotized into his deep dark eyes, Sakura quickly wakes up and watches him walk towards her direction. Processing what has happened, Sakura quickly glances away. Noticing the pink haired fan, he smirks and walks by her.

Having said nothing to her, Sakura felt empty. Still standing in the same position, Sakura begins to think of what she desires.

"Why?" Sakura sighed, "Why did I tell him that I don't want to cross paths with him anymore! SAKURA YOU IDIOT!" Sakura pouted as she walked to class. Laying her head on her desk, Sakura drowns herself in misery thinking about what she is going to do.

However…

"Why am I back here in this stupid bush!" Sakura had hidden in the bush once again watching her fans and Sasuke. Like a new routine, Sakura still couldn't get use to it. She's always watching him even though he strictly states that their paths won't meet again. Every other day, she is late for class.

"You haven't seen him after school have you?" Ino asked.

"I mean besides when the group hangs out...I barely see him," Sakura pout, "And now that...our paths can't cross," Sakura whined as they ate lunch.

"Why aren't you chasing him right now?" Ino asked.

"Because...every time during lunch he finds a way to escape my grasp without me knowing!" Sakura held her fist up, "I'm just trying to protect him!...and...huh… I don't think this love is easy!" Sakura cried.

"Baka," Ino sighed, "If I were you…I would just give him up. I mean it's not like he cares about you."

"Thanks Ino," Sakura sighed, "I need to hear that so that I WILL BE MORE DETERMINED!" Sakura smirked.

"Ahhh," Ino sighed, "This is so pointless!" Ino continued to eat her sandwich.

Walking around the garden once again, Sakura hum to herself as she turned around the same corner she had encountered Sasuke. There, she sees Sasuke and the girl simply talking.

Seeing that Sasuke is holding her hands as she cried, Sakura bit her lips.

"What is this?" Sakura whispered, "Are they lovers or what?" Sakura sighed as she hid at the same corner away from them. After a while, Sakura just glares at the sky and the moving clouds.

"Maybe...I should just give up?" Sakura asked, "I mean...I can definitely do better!" Sakura said unmotivated.

"That sounds like a good idea," a familiar voice spoke out.

"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura stood up and her heart began beating fast as she tries to keep Sasuke's promise to not meet paths. She tries running pass him; however, his hand gripped hers. Scared out of her mind, Sakura reflects by twisting her arms so that he can let go; however, he only held it tighter.

"Don't try to escape Sakura," Sasuke said, "I know what you've been doing. Hiding, stalking, and eavesdropping."

"I wasn't!" Sakura retorted defensively.

Pulling her closer, Sasuke whispered, "Do I have to keep your mouth shut again?" He smirked.

Quickly putting her free hands to her mouth she spoke, "You're despicable."

"I know," Sasuke said as he lets go of her arm making her fall.

"Even…" Sakura sighed as she pulls herself up, "Even if you tell me not to meet paths, I will love you Sasuke-kun," Sakura confessed as her innocent eyes were fixed on his, "Therefore, I won't do as you request. I can't stay out of your path."

"Then...should I use my lips?" Sasuke asks as he leans in.

Quickly pushing him away, Sakura's hands were captured in his. Sasuke pushes her towards the brick wall and enclosed her in just like last time.

"You want this right? Not a lot of people have this treatment Sakura," Sasuke whispered in her ears. Kissing her forcefully, he bit her lips to access into her.

"STOP!" Sakura tries punching him but he pulls her wrist above her and pins her down. Sakura panicked while Sasuke enjoyed her struggles. Her desire to continue to get away made Sasuke enjoy this moment much more.

"Just shut-up Sakura. I didn't want to do this, but I am a man after all," Sasuke whispered. Everything went so fast, Sakura didn't even realize that Sasuke had unbuckled his pants. As Sasuke forces himself onto her and takes her in his stride, Sakura's will had died out. Her hopes, dream, and desires were crushed as Sasuke takes advantage of her. Scared to death, she begins to hold her voice back. Tears streamed down her face as Sasuke continues to bite her neck. She didn't have enough strength to push him back anymore.

Fixing his shirt, Sasuke buttons up leaving an emotionless Sakura lying on the ground. After leaving, Sakura had begun to shed tears like a waterfall. Bleeding between her legs, she couldn't walk correctly.

"Why...?" She cried. Holding herself together, Sakura didn't attend class and leaned against the wall. Hickey's covered her, and her bruised lips bleed.

"How annoying," Sasuke sighed as he looks at Sakura's desk at the end of school. Her book bag and books were still on her desk.

"Hey Teme! Let's hang out!" Naruto offered.

"Yeah, let's go!" Sasuke walked off with the gang.

"Sakura?" Ino looks around the room with no sign of her.

"Are you looking for Sakura Ino?" a brown hair women with two bun head on her head asked.

"Yeah Tenten have you seen her?" Ino asked.

"I heard she was admitted to the nursing room and resting," Tenten said.

"Oh, ok thanks!" Ino sigh of relief, "Should I go see her?" Ino asked.

"Hey Ino! Let's go!" Hinata said out the door of the room.

"Yeah!" Ino shrugged the situation away.

"Sakura, school is over," the nurse Shizune said.

"Yeah," Sakura quickly gets up and tries running out of the room but Shizune stops her.

"I don't know what's wrong with you Sakura, but you shouldn't be too hard on yourself," Shizune smiled, "Cheer up!"

Sakura tries to smile and touches her neck where she hid the hickey with a bunch of make up.

"Yeah…" Sakura said silently as she walks out. Hours had passed by and school has ended, Sakura walked to the classroom and heads home.

When reaching home, greeted by her parents, Sakura ignores them and heads to her bed. Laying there with tears streaming down her shades of green eyes, Sakura holds her voice back from being loud. Scarred for life, Sakura whimpers.
'I...I may have wanted you to be my first...but I never wanted it to be in that kind of situation…' Sakura cried herself to sleep.

Walking to school, Sasuke glares at all the fans who tackles him everyday. Standing beside the sakura tree, he glances at the bush beside it and realizes that Sakura isn't there. Walking to class, he still sees no sign of her.

"What are you looking for?" Naruto pulls Sakura's chair over to Sasuke's desk.

"Nothing," he mumbled.

"Is it really nothing?" Naruto asked.

"Shut-up dobe. Your girlfriend is probably looking for you."

"Ahh shit!" Naruto realized that he was suppose to pick Hinata up from her meeting this morning. Running off, Naruto left the emotionless Uchiha alone. Waiting, Sasuke glares at the door waiting to see a shade of pink hair. Observing outside at the entrance, he still sees no sign of her. Grunting out of impatience, he kicks the chair in front of him making everyone glance towards his direction.

As the doorbell rang, Kakashi glares once again to the desk of Sakura Haruno and sighs.

"Has anyone seen Haruno?"

"Sensei," Ino said raising her hand, "She's not feeling well. She's not here."

"Alright, well...that's the first," Kakashi began his class. Glaring at the desk, Sasuke snorted and ignores her absence.

After three days, Sasuke continues to adapt to her absence; however, when he walks into class he sees pink in the room cleaning the chalkboard. Without looking at the door, Sakura continues to wipe the board clean.

"Hey Sakura! You feeling better?" Ino comes running from behind Sasuke and hugs her best friend, "I've missed you!" With a slight smile, Sakura hugs Ino lightly back. Her eyes suddenly landed on the Uchiha in front of her when she realizes he is glaring at her. Quickly out of fear, Sakura glares away and pushes Ino away.

"Hey Ino," Sakura ignores Sasuke's presence and continues to talk to Ino. Walking to his desk, Sasuke sat down and smirk.

'Are you ignoring me now?' Sasuke thought to himself. Watching her smile lightly with Ino up at the front he begins to taunt her.

"GOOD MORNING!" Naruto kicks the door open and smiles brightly, "OH SAKURA-CHAN! You're here! Are you feeling better?" Holding his hands to her forehead he measured her temperature.

"DON'T TOUCH HER!" Ino swats his hands away, "Where is Hinata?"

"Ahh...Hinata," Naruto sighed, "Well it's complicated." Walking to his seat, he lays his head down without bothering Sasuke. Trying to evade Sasuke's piercing stares, Sakura tries her best to hide away from him and tries her best not to glare over. Afraid of any consequences, Sakura tries her best to stay out of his path. Walking up to her seat, she lightly sits down. Trembling with fear, Sakura dares not look at his direction.

"You're shaking," Sasuke said venomously.

Like poison to Sakura, his voice made her heart beat quick with fear. She begins to remember everything and as she ignores his comment he lets out a little laugh.

As the day went by, Sakura was tortured in her seat. Sasuke would make silly comments and give her fear. Realizing something is wrong with Sakura, everyone including the group, the fangirls, and the teachers were concerned.

"She's not even going to talk to Sasuke-kun?" Whispers around the block spreads as Sakura walks with a frown along Hinata, Ino, and Tenten. Having yet ask her what's wrong, Sakura refuse to let them ask her. As soon as they mention her name, Sakura quickly changes the topic and stuck to the girl as glue.

"Sakura…" Ino stares at the child who use to fear nothing.

As the end of the day came and the bell rang the students goodbye, Sakura is the first out of the room.

Everyday became torture for Sakura as she continues to sit in her seat. Sasuke finally leaves her alone, and as weeks came by, Sakura was finally able to smile with her friends. Trying his best not to get involved with her, he doesn't speak to her. He does occasionally glances at her direction unknowingly. Everyday, Sakura seems more distant from all those around him and him. She avoids going out and tries her best to walk the opposite way of Sasuke.

One day as she arrives home, she realizes that someone important has came to her home. Walking in, she glares at the one and only granddaughter of the Senju's.

"TSUNADE-SAMA!" Sakura barked.

"Hey my apprentice!" Tsunade smirked, "Well, should I grant you a bargain you'll love?"

"What?" She drops her bookbag on the floor and question the lady with big bosom, "Where is my parents?"

"I already told your parents and they left according to our contract. They seem very disapproving but I want to confirm with you." Tsunade said, "And well, I don't think you'll turn down the offer, but even if you do...don't forget that I have given you and your family plenty to live off of. I even allowed you at such a young age to work for me for some time."

"Just tell me what it is," Sakura asked distressed.

"To confirm that our company will support the Uchiha, we would like to settle with marriage as a contract of our relationship. I would like to choose someone close to me to show how sincere I am about this. And I decided you to marry off to-"

"WHAT? You're going to marry me off!" Sakura barked.

"Listen! You haven't listen! To Uchiha Sasuke," Tsunade smiled.

"NO!" Sakura screamed, "I CAN'T Tsuande-sama! I really can't!"

"Why!" Tsuande argued, "You like him right?"

"I don't care! I will never marry him!" Sakura argued with her might and emotions that she's been holding.

"Sakura...you can't decline," Tsunade said firmly, "The elders of the Senju had you sign a contract long ago. As you see, your family was not an elite family. The only reason why your family has a name in our history books is because of you. You are my student. I raised you up like my own; therefore, I will treat you as my own. And being apart of an Elite family, you will serve us this purpose."

"...And what if I don't want to?" Sakura whispered with bitter jaded eyes.

"Your family's expenses will disappear and they will be in debt not only to me but to the elders as well."

"So you're saying that my family will become bankrupt?" Sakura asked nonchalantly.

"Yeah," Tsunade nodded as she crosses her legs and hands.

"Tsunade-sama...I am your apprentice...why would you do this to me?" Sakura asked as she looks down at her hands in her lap. Her bangs slowly covers her forehead.

"I thought you wouldn't mind?" Tsunade asked.

"I do.." Sakura cried, "I can't marry him!"

Glaring at her apprentice, "What's wrong Sakura?"

Shaking her head, Sakura held her cries in and begin to speak, "Even if you destroy my life, and if you kill me...I won't marry that BASTARD!" Glaring into her apprentice's eyes, Tsunade sighed.

"Tell me frankly Sakura. I need to know what you're trying to say," Tsunade asked.

"I won't marry him…"

"Alright," Tsunade smiled and stands up walking to Sakura who is sitting on the other end. Rubbing her hair, Sakura glares up at the beautiful Senju.

"That's it?" Sakura stopped tearing.

"Well, it's not like I can force you," Tsunade said, "But, don't forget the consequences. It's something I have no control over...because you're the only acceptable for the Uchiha. Since you refuse, all the elites will make sure you and your family are bankrupt."

"Ehh?" Sakura pouted, "You really can't help me?"

"This will also involve our relationship Sakura...sorry," Tsunade sighed.

"Are you serious?" Sakura asked.

"And your parents won't be home tonight because of your decision, they have a lot of stuff to do," Tsunade said.

With everything going through Sakura's head, she struggled to accept the offer.

"Why would I need to marry that bastard?" Sakura sighed. Waking up in the morning Sakura glared at the people in her living room taking down all their expenses.

"What are ya'll doing?" Sakura shrieked.

"We're here under the corporations of the Senju Company. We are ordered to take away everything in this house including this house," The man said in the suit.

"Where are my parents?" Sakura demanded.

"We wouldn't know any information. You guys are to move out immediately!"

Being kicked out, Sakura ran angrily to school. Jumping into her seat with her wrath flying everywhere, Sakura slammed her fist onto her desk.

"DAMN IT!" Sakura screamed.

"Sakura?" Ino turned around, "what's wrong?"

Faking her calm fake smile, Sakura replied, "Nothing Ino. I was stressed." Sasuke smirk at her response and laid back in his seat. Hearing Sasuke's puff of laugh, Sakura glared at him resentfully. Biting her lips to hold herself back from speaking to him, Sakura glare back to Ino and laid her head down on her desk.

As the day come to an end at school, Sakura rushed back home to realize that there is a sign posted on the side of her mailbox saying, "FOR SALE."

"WHAT IS THIS?" Sakura kicked the sign.

"Sakura honey," Sakura's blonde mom walked over.

"Oh mom!" Sakura said, "What are we going to do?"

"Sakura…" her mom's bags hung over and Sakura realize how sick her mom is getting.

"What's wrong with you mom? Are you sick?" Sakura asked.

"I…" Sakura's mom cried. Behind her was her husband holding her mom.

"Dad…?" Sakura glared at her father who had a lighter dull pink hair than hers.

"Sakura...your mom is pregnant," her father said sadly.

"REALLY?" Sakura smiled, "Isn't that great news?" Unable to grasp the situation, Sakura was clueless of what is to come.

"We aren't able to stabilize our family Sakura. We can't even send you to college. We won't be able to raise this baby," her father said.

Trying to connect the puzzle, Sakura held her watery eyes back from crying.

"I see," Sakura said, "We need money."

"Darling," Sakura's mom cried, "It's not that we want you to get married! It's just that…"

"It's okay mom," Sakura said backing away from her parents, "I completely understand," Sakura sighed, "How long are you?"

"I am sixteen weeks Sakura. I'm sorry for telling you so late. I was waiting for the right timing...but...I've been working too hard. I don't think I can support the family while pregnant," she continue to sob.

"MOM!" Sakura yelled, "I… said I understand," Sakura couldn't believe it. She didn't want to believe it. She should be happy. She didn't want to give in to the upper class. She didn't want to give in to Sasuke. She doesn't want this. Sakura wanted to be selfish for once about this; however, she can't risk her sibling's life and her parent's life like this, "So…" Sakura said, "I will talk to Tsunade. Go inside and rest," Sakura said, "Give me the car keys dad."

Glaring at his daughter, his guilt emerged within him. Unable to look at her without feeling guilt, he hands her the keys.

"See ya," Sakura smiled as she quickly gets in the car and drives. Emotionless, Sakura rushes to the Senju's mansion.

"You're here?" Tsunade asked sitting in her office at home. The luminous light in Sakura's eyes had gone dim.

"If I agree, what do I get?" Sakura asked emotionless.

"Their title as an Uchiha, your stuff back, and 1 million dollars from both Uchiha and the Senju," Tsunade said.

"My mom is pregnant," Sakura said, "I want you to let me work part time at the hospital. I'll do anything. Also, let's get a contract saying you'll hire me right after I finish college."

"Deal," Tsunade frowned.

"And, I also want on the contract...that I will never be apart of any Senju's contract other than this. I will not do anything else besides this marriage," Sakura said.

"Agree," Tsunade said sadly, "I'm sorry Sakura."

"No...don't be. I'm tired of hearing those words," Sakura said harshly, "I will do what I want to do from now on."
