Disclaim: I don't own Naruto!
~Dangerous Situations~
"Y-you want me to do what?" Sakura's jaw dropped as she stared at the blond-haired woman in shock.
Right now, she was standing frozen in the middle of Tsunade's office not beliving what the woman had just said to her a few minutes ago.
"You've heard me, Sakura," Tsunade closed her eyes, crossing her arms over her chest. "I want you to help the Uchiha Police Center with their problems. They need help more than we do. You're the only one I know who can bring an end to this neverending blood bath."
"B-but, Tsunade-sama! I'm needed here!" protested Sakura, not happy that she was going to leave her comfortable work. There is a high chance that she's going to meet him. Thinking abot him made her blood boil in anger.
"Sakura..." growled Tsunade. "Did you notice that more and more heavily injured patients were send here like a flood of water? We must stop this!"
"That's one of the reason why I must stay here," stated Sakura angrily, clenching her fists.
"No, the Uchiha's do their best to stop this none stop nightmare! Even with the help of other Police Forces, they need more than that," Tsunade sighed. It was a risk but what other choice does she have? It was eighter for everyone's sake or give up and let every single person die. She'll hate herself if she let anyone die so easily.
"..." Sakura gritted her teeth, knowing that what Tsunade said was right. If they don't caught the culprit, they'll be doomed.
"I'll have to lend a hand too. Don't think that I'm going to finish some paperworks and watch everybody suffer while you're gone,"
Sakura hung her head, her eyes hidden behind her bangs as she thought about it over and over again. If she doesn't help, more people will die but if she help there might be hope in the future for the innocent ones.
It was dangerous, she might die!
Frowning slightly, the pinkett closed her eyes and heard the screams outside the office.
'Naruto-kun, why aren't you here when I need you the most?' Sakura thought, trying to ignore the painful screams.
'The fuck?! We're here to help others not asking someone who's already dead to help us!' yelled inner, eyes glowing red in rage.
'D-don't say that inner...'
'Move on! Naruto died as a HERO! We're standing here like idiots and worry about being killed instead of stopping the killer from killing others!'
'I'm not like him!'
'You're right!' sneered inner. 'We're nothing compare to a hero!'
'I'm like Tsunade-sama, I'm saving people who gets heavily injured,'
'...idiot...'
'Eh?'
'Saving people won't stop the culprit if he's still walking freely! Naruto would have ignored his health to punish the one who hurt his family!'
'Naruto...'
Sakura didn't notice the tears streaming down her cheek as someone shook her out of her thought. Snapping her eyes open, Sakura stared at the woman with determinded eyes.
"I've made a decision! I'm going to help them the best I can!"
Tsunade looked surprised before smiling at the pinkett. "Tomorrow, 6 p.m at the Uchiha Police Center. Bring some antidotes and medicine with you. Knowing from Fugaku, there are more than one culprit and the one they're dealing at the moment use poison."
"More than one culprit?" groaned Sakura.
"Yes, now get ready and prepare yourself..." Tsunade pulled the pinkett into a hug. "Make sure you come back alive after you've caught every sinlge culprit, got it?!"
"Got it!"
Even thought Konoha City is in a worse situation at the moment, the sun smiled at them as if telling everyone that after the fight against the group of criminals there will be a happy end.
'Happy end, my ass,' Sakura thought, rolling her eyes and looked down at her wrist clock.
6 p.m...
"This is it," Sakura gulped, starind up at the building infront of her. "No turning back now, Sakura! You can do it, show them what you've got!"
She tightened her grip on her bag and made her way towards the building.
Walking inside, Sakura could already feel the stares on her skin as she kept walking with her head down. Not looking where she was going, she bumped into someone's hard chest.
"Ugh," Sakura stumbled backwards and rubbed her head. "I'm so sorry, sir."
"Hn, just watch out where you are going next time... Sakura," replied the person emotionless and walked away from her.
Her eyes widened in shock as she heard the familiar voice of the person she tried to avoid at all cost. Whipping her head to the side, Sakura froze seeing the raven hair and the cold aura around him. He is here...
'Sasuke...'
"Hey, Sasuke! Uncle ordered me to help you!"
"Whatever, Shisui, just don't drag me down,"
"Tch, don't me so selfish!"
"Hn,"
'He's still the same,' Sakura thought, watching him walk away. 'What am I thinking? Something really big must happen in his life that he finally decided to crack up a bit...and knowing Sasuke for so long that's not going to happen soon.'
The pinkett felt someone's hand on her shoulder and looked up at the owner of the hand. Another familiar male with raven-black hair and black eyes stood infront of her but his face was different.
It was way to calm for Sasuke's liking.
"You know, Sakura, you can continue to stare at me after the meeting," an amused smirk crept up his lips, seeing the blush on the pinkett's pale cheeks.
"Itachi!" Sakura's eyes sparkled in happiness and tackled the older person into a hug.
Itachi chuckled before wrapping his arms around the petite figure. They stayed in that position for a while till Itachi decided to break the hug.
"Well, follow me. Father is already waiting for you," Itachi took her hand and lead her into the direction were Sasuke went into.
After a few minuets, Itachi stopped infront of a metall door, knocked three times and waited for a reply from inside for him to enter before opening the door to let Sakura walk in first.
Sakura smiled at him and entered the office of the owner of the Uchiha Police Center.
"Good evening, Uchiha-sama," Sakura did a deep bow before taking a seat at the table in the middle of the room. Itachi took the seat to her right.
"Hmph, I'm not happy about the choice that Tsunade did," Fugaku stared at her confused face. "I prefer males to do this work. Females should let this work to us but Tsunade thought other wise, huh? Pathetic."
Sakura's face was black and distant on the outside while she was screaming inside.
'CHA! How dare he?! I'm going to kick his ass after we caught the culprit!' Inner shouted.
'Tsk! He's understimating me! I'll show him what happens when people understimate me!'
"I don't think that Tsunade-sama did a wrong choice, Fugaku-sama," said Sakura calmly. "I'm a doctor like Tsunade-sama and can take care of myself if I get injured during this work. Tsunade-sama spoke about the cultprit using poison, I know what I'm going to do."
"Then it's not my problem if you die?" asked Fugaku and raised an eyebrow.
Itachi clenched his fists.
Has his father no respect? He was about to open his mouth to speak as Sakura grabbed his clenched fist to calm him down. Itachi immediately relaxed under her touch.
"If I die then it's not your fault, sir," nodded Sakura. "But you should more take care of your mens. I mean, who will take care of them when no one knows how to heal themself if they got poisoned?"
"What's that suppose to mean, girl?" hissed Fugaku. "Are you assuming that we are hopeless without you?!"
"No, no, I don't think that you would be needing me at all. Your strong mens can protect themself, right? And I don't plan on giving medical attention if someone gets hurt. I'm only here to help you people catch the culprit. Tsunade-sama hadn't mentioned about healing anyone..."
"Girl, you shouldn't talk to me like that," growled Fugaku.
"You're right, should we talk about business now?" Sakura gave him a smile and her smile widened as she saw the annoyed look on his face.
"Fine with me," Fugaku cleared his troat. "The one we're dealing right now is known by the name of Hiruko. We saw him near the abandoned parking plot with two other peoples-"
"You saw him?" asked Sakura, surprised.
"No, Sakura, we don't know what he looks like," replied Itachi. "We notice that he always wore his usuall red mask, black coat with a red scorpion on the back. He doesn't wear anything else."
"What about-"
"We got his name from his grandmother Chiyo, but we doubt that she said the truth. We came to visit her again only to find out that he killed her and erased all personal things that could lead us to him," added Itachi.
"I see..." Sakura sighed.
Fugaku closed his eyes. "Maybe he'll be at the parking plot tonight and we'll try harder this time to catch him. However, I don't want anybody to do things alone, is that clear?" He looked directly at the pinkett.
"You should discuss this with Tsunade-sama, sir," huffed Sakura. "I'm only here to catch the culprit with or without the help of one of your mens. If you do interfere with my work here then I am allowed to leave this work behind."
"Tch, whatever you say, girl. Hiruko always appears at 10 p.m... exact on time, don't be late or we won't get this chance," Fugaku stood up. "Prepare yourself until then, you're all dismissed."
Everyone left except for Sakura, Fugaku narrowed his and stared at her.
"What do you want?"
"You're hiding something from me," Sakura frowned. "I won't leave till you tell me what it is that I need to know."
"There's nothing you need to know!" Fugaku snapped and demanded her to leave.
Sakura left the office and notice Itachi talking to... Sasuke. Ignoring both of them, she walked pass them towards the black waist-length haired woman. The woman saw her coming and gave her a warm smile.
"Sakura! I'm so happy to see you again!"
"It's nice to see you too, Mikoto-sama," smiled Sakura. "Do you mind showing me where my office is?"
"Of course not! This way, hun!" Mikoto walked up stairs and took a silver key out before opening the door to her left. Sakura walked in, placed her bag on the floor and looked around.
There was one single desk at the end of the room with a laptop on in, a coffee table between two black couches, two book shelves and a balcony. Sakura whistlet quietly as she opened the doors of the balcony.
Mebuki giggled at the awed face of Sakura and closed the door leaving the pinkett alone.
The sun starts to set, she stared at the worry written on almost everyone's face.
'Worry is not the only emotion that goes through everyone's head,' Sakura sighed tiredly. 'This is really stressful! How the hell do I even help?'
! Knock ! Knock ! Knock !
"Come in!" shouted Sakura, walking back inside after closing the doors of the balcony.
"I brought you coffee," Itachi placed a cub on her desk before taking a sip of his own.
Sakura smiled. "That's really kind of you, Itachi. Thanks,"
"Hm, what will you do when you see him?"
"No idea..." groaned Sakura and let herself slummber down the black chair. "I'm not that fast to catch him but I'll think of something."
"Then you should start to think now," Itachi looked down at his wrist clock. "You've only three hours left till we leave."
The pinkett groaned loudly and laid her head on the desk. "Don't mention it!"
o~O~o
It was a cold and a silent night.
The sun was now replaced with the moon who doesn't give much light as the sun. No people were outside except for the brave police members that hid near the parking plot waiting for a ceitain person to show up.
One of them was the pinkett.
She wore a black hat to hide her bright pink hair and a black mask that cover the lower half of her face. Her clothes were also black, the only thing that pokes out of the darkness are her sparkling emerald green eyes.
Different antidots and medicine were hidden inside her clothes, she also hid knifes in both sides of her boots.
Then it was time, the clock strikes 10 o'clock and a black coated man with a dark red mask walked into the abandoned parking plot. Two other people stepped out of the darkness and approached him.
"Hey, Cherry..."
"What is it, weasel?" whispered Sakura into the little walky-talky that was conected to her left ear.
"I hid my motorcylce behind the café to your right. When he tries to escape, you must follow him. I can't do that since I'm at the oposite direction were you are hiding right now."
"Got it, weasel!"
"Oh, and Sakura?"
"Yes?"
"...be careful,"
A smirk crept up her lips. "You know me."
"I tried at least," she heard a chuckle from the walky-talky before it turned silent. Emerald eyes focused back on the victim, not letting every movement escape her sharp determinded eyes.
The masked man pulled something out and handed it towards the two males before starting to run away. Sasuke jumped out of his hiding place and ran after the masked man with a gun in his hand. "Don't let the other two escape!" yelled Sasuke. "I'll take him down!"
Itachi and the others surrounded the two, aiming their guns at them. "Don't move or it will be painful," growled Itachi, glaring at them.
Jumping down of the one story store where the pinkett was hiding, Sakura ignored the wave of pain that shoot through her feets and rushed at the back of the café where Itachi's motorcycle stood.
"Good thing that I know how handle this monster," grinned Sakura, wearing the helmet on before driving off.
Her eyes caught two running figures, Sakura speed up and drove pass Sasuke nearing the other running figure.
He turned his head around, seeing her through the small eye holes of his mask and ran towards a dark alley. Sakura made a sharp turn, disappearing into the darkness with Sasuke trailing behind.
"Hadn't I told you that I'll take him?!" Sasuke glared at the driving person.
He watched as the person turn its head to the side and catched the clear emerald eyes that looked back at him for a moment before speeding up again.
'Sakura?!'
Sasuke stopped and turned his walky-talky on.
"What the fuck are you doing, Sakura?!" shouted Sasuke angrily.
"Ow! I'm not deaf you know! And what does it look like?!"
"Get back here! It's too dangerous for you!"
"Dangerous? I'm spending most of my times with poison at the hostpital this past few months! And poison is not dangerous?!"
"Shut up and do what I say!" Sasuke clenched his fists.
"I'm too far away for me to return! I'll get him! Don't worry about me and get the other two!"
"Sakura! Listen to me, damn it!"
"...Why should I?..."
"Stop acting like you know things better than me! Turn around! You don't know what you are doing!"
"..."
"Sakura-"
"Shut it, Sasuke! I know what I'm doing! Fuck you! Like I would listen to someone like you! And yes, I know things better than you! Look at me with open eyes this time! I'm not the little Sakura you used to know!"
"Listen-"
"Gah! I've enough of you! You're wasting my time! I'll be back in a few day with the culprit next to me! You'll see that I don't need your help!"
Beep-
"Sakura? Shit! Don't tell me she turned her walky-talky off!" Sasuke cursed under his breath and ran back to the others. "Stupid, Sakura..."
...
...
...
...
...
A sneeze escape the pinkett as she picked her speed up again. "That Sasgay probably still talks about me." muttered Sakura and watched the still running person infront of her. He keeps running and running.
'What's with this guy?! Won't he get tired soon?!'
She notice something shining at the corner of her eyes.
A silver knife came flying towards her and would have hit her face if she hadn't duck on time. Another person joined the red masked person. He also wore a mask but it was yellow instead of red.
They both ran towards the forest behind the playground Sakura knew.
The pinkett smiled, knowing now where they were going and turned into another direction.
Sakura often played in the forest with her best friend.
There were three secret places she hid with Ino when they got in trouble in the past. One under the river that leads into an underwater cave, the other one up at the old trees and the last secret place was where ...
"The wooden house stood with a dungeon down the basement that leads out of the city," smirked Sakura, hoping down of the motorcycle and toke the helmet off. "No one knew about the dungeon, not even Ino."
After fifteen minutes of walking, Sakura arrived infront of the old wooden house.
Light noises caught her attention making the pinkett automaticaly walk towards the doorless house like its calling her to come closer. The light of the moon was not enough to let the pinkett see what's inside.
The house was dark... she couldn't see anything.
Suddenly, two arms came out of the darkness and grabbed her shoulders pulling her inside.
Sakura snapped out of her thought and scratched the person's arms with her sharp nails making it bleed then took the chance to escape. A scream escape her as the person pulled a knife out and stabbed her shoulder.
Tears filled her eyes but she ignored the pain and took the knife out of her left shoulder then trew it at the person behind her.
Her shoulder now bleeding, Sakura ran away from the house hoping to lose him. Luck was not one her side as she started to hear more that two pairs of footsteps following her.
'Crap! Crap! Craaap! What should I do?!'
'We are near the old tree! Climb up and hide!'
'Right!'
Sakura picked her speed to run faster and ran towards the familiar trees infront of her before jumping up as high as she could so she doesn't need to waste some time as she quickly climb up.
Satisfied with the high, Sakura leaned against the tree and held her breath seeing two different people with different colored masks.
"Where the fuck is the bitch?!"
"We lost her so let's not wast our time and get back. Leader-sama won't be happy if we're later,"
"Fuck off, stitched face! I can smell her blood! She must be near!"
"Don't mind her! Come now!"
"Argh! Let me the fuck go, bastard!"
Sakura heard their voices getting quiet and coughed a few times to calm her breath. She then pulled a bandage out of her black jacked, took her jacket including the black t-shirt underneat off and fixed her new wound she received for the stupid action she did before it got infected.
'Stupid, careless and recklessness,' added inner.
'Yeah, yeah,'
Hissing in pain, Sakura took a little bottle with pills inside out of her jeans pocket and pulled the cap open.
She then took one painkiller and swallowed it without water. The pill numbed her pain, making her sigh in relife as she turned her walky-talky on.
"SAKURA!"
Sakura winced in pain. "Don't shout, weasel! I don't want my ears to bleed too!"
"You got hurt?! What happened?! Are you alright?! W-"
"Calm down, weasel! Yes I got hurt, someone stabbed me on the shoulder but I already wrapped it with the bandage I brought with me. I followed the red masked man till another person with a yellow mask joined the party after throwing a silver knife at my head. To answer your last question... Ummm, I guess I'm alright. I'm only a little exhausted after the hole run and chase game," chuckled Sakura.
"This is not funny, Haruno!"
"My dear! Come back home!"
Sakura's eyes widened. "F-fugaku-sama?! Mikoto-sama?!"
"That's right! I demand you to come back and rest! We'll catch them another time!"
"I can't do that, Fugaku-sama,"
"AND WHY NOT?!"
"I sprained my ankle," lied Sakura. "I can't get back yet."
"Don't worry, I'll pick you up! Where are you?"
"Uh... I don't know. It's too dark to see anything, Itachi," Sakura bit her bottom lip.
She hated it to lie at the people she cares a lot but she'll hate herself more when her precious people gets hurt because of her. She promised herself not to ask for help if it's not necessary.
"Don't worry about me, I'll get back soon!"
"Promise us to come back when your stamia returns, dear! Tsunade called us and she's also worried sick!"
"..."
"Sakura?"
"I'm sorry, Mikoto-sama," Sakura smiled a sad smile. "I can't promise you that but I can promise to come back with the culprit next to me-"
"Damn it, Sakura! Come back so I can- Just come back," the voice from Sasuke interupted her.
"I've already made my choice, Sasuke," hissed Sakura.
"I don't care! Come back!"
"NO!"
"SAKURA!"
"Sorry, Sasuke-kun," a few tears slipped out of her eyes. "I... want to be... useful. No one nor you can stop me. Nothing can change my mind. I'll leave now..." She was about to turn her walky-talky off as Sasuke said something shocking to her.
"I understand, I'm sorry. Please come back alive Sakura-chan,"
Beep-
'S-sakura-chan,'
More tears streamed down her cheek as she slowly fell asleep.
'H-he only calls me Sakura-chan when he's worried... But it's useless to worry about me now, Sasuke. I've changed a lot.'
Her emerald eyes closed.
"I'll put an end to this... like how you put an end to the haters who wanted you dead...
...Naruto-kun..."
The sun slowly rises up, signaling all sleeping creatures to wake up and enjoy another wonderful day that had finally arrived.
A groan escape the pinkett as she rubbed the tiredness out of her eyes. She realized that she was still sitting on the thick tree branch and climbed her way back down to the earth. Her feet met the dirty ground making her stumble a bit.
"Not good to sleep in a sitting position," Sakura stretched till she heard a crack and let out a sigh feeling her muscles relax.
Looking around, Sakura saw two paths that leads towards different directions. She looked to her right, knowing that this path leads back to the city and to people who will be angry at her. Not only angry but also disappointed.
The path on her left leads back to the wooden house.
'Inner, what should I do?' Sakura asked her inner self for help.
'Hmm, Haruno Sakura have only one choice to do!
Pros; No one is there, she'll find some useful things she left there in her childhood, she'll find the culprit and bring him or her back to the Police Center, she'll be finally be seen as useful, people will also see her as a hero like Naruto since she saved them!
Cons; She might be kidnapped, tortured and will be used against the police. She'll be killed, others will die too while the feeling of guilt and disappointement won't leave her when she arrived in heave. She still ended up useless. Even when she manage to live, she is forced to serve the culprit and obey, or worse, she'll have to kill people too. Everyone was couting on her and in the end she failed...
What will she choose?'
"Oh man, there are more cons than pros," groaned Sakura. "What choice do I have?"
Suddenly, the face of a spiked blond-haired man with a wide grin popped in her head. Sakura blinked, then turned towards the direction of the wooden house. She hoped that she could at least find some informations before she die.
It didn't took ten minutes as she arrived at the house she once loved to hide.
Hearing no noise coming from the house, Sakura went in and looked around seeing no masked mens inside. The pinkett sighed in relife and walked towards the old dusty closet next to the window.
Opening the closet, she smiled happily and took the five black cloth covered knifes out.
"Wow, and here I thought that they'll get rusty after the years," Sakura's eyes sparkled as she saw the clean silver metall and lifted it up at the sunlight.
She placed them on the table and notice a familiar black bag on top of the closet.
Using a chair to climb up, Sakura took the bag and coughed as she patted the dust off of it. The bag was not too big but was also not too small. She then packed the five knifes inside and turned back to the closet.
"I know there's somewhere- Aha!" Sakura cried like she had won a free ticket to the hot springs. "Good that I still know how to use this!"
Sakura picked up the medium-sized sword and hung it onto the belt around her hips before taking the bag and sprinted down to the basement. Opening the door, Sakura walked down stairs noticing the light of the sun slowly fading and leaving the pinkett in darkness.
Sakura was already used to the darkness and know where she was going but something on the ground made her trip.
"Ow~ I completely forgot about the broken lamp on the ground- Wait! Broken lamp? Then the switch must be near-"
Bright light suddenly lit the room up, letting Sakura know where she was. Sakura's eyes widened in shock as she saw the red liquid around the room.
"I-is that blood?!" Sakura took a few steps to the clean side of the room. "Disgusting! It's like I'm in a-"
! Squeech !
"I k-know t-that I stepped o-on something a-and I'm s-stupid enough to l-look down..." Sakura looked down and paled. She suddenly felt dizzy as she stared at the bloody face under her feet.
Sweat dripped down her forehead, Sakura gulped and ignored the blood around her before she made her way towards the dark hallway at the end of the room. It was cold and quiet making the pinkett bit her lips as she resist to scream in fear.
'Yo! Having fun?'
'Inner! Where the hell have you been?!'
'Hehehe! Well, I was... sleeping,'
'Really?'
'Y-yeah,'
'Alright, quit the crap! What had you done?!'
'I somehow manage to get out your head while you were asleep and guess who's head I was in for a few moments!'
'What? That's awesome! Tell me already,'
'Listen! I was in Hiruko's head!'
'...'
'Can you belive it?! Oh! And Hiruko is not his real name, it's Akasuna no Sasori! His partner, the guy with the yellow mask, is known as Deidara! You know the blond-haired guy with the clay arts, right? He is a criminal! Oh. My. God! It all makes now sense. Deidara was once interviewed a few days ago and told the reporter that he was really busy with some things but now we know what he really meant by that!'
'You're not kidding are you?'
'Of course not!'
'Then we are in deep shit now...'
'Yeah, that Deidara guy walks in and out of the city like he is normal! We must stop him!'
'Great idea! Do you also know how we do that?'
'Ummm... huh?'
'I thought so,'
A sigh escape her, Sakura then saw light at the end of the hallway. She didn't hesitate and ran towards the light that leads out of Konoha City. The scent of a different forest filled her nose rills.
Her emerald eyes looked around the area slowly remembering where she was.
"Moonlight Village... if I remembered corectly then Tsuki City is near," muttered Sakura to herself then made her way towards the village.
'Ahem! Don't you want to pack your black jacket, mask and hat inside your bag or do you want to attract attention from the villagers? Maybe Sasori and Deidara are there. I sugesst to hide your sword too,'
"You're right, can't blow my cover off yet," Sakura took her jacket, mask, hat and sword off and put it inside the bag.
She also decided to pack the antidots and medicine in the bag. The weight of the bag was now heavier than before but Sakura manage to carry it on her back.
Ten minutes after walking through the forest, she arrived at the village she once visited with her parents. She looked around the same old wooden buildings around her.
"Nothing changed at all," Sakura then stared at the villagers who were helping each other. "And the villagers hadn't changed too... they're still too kind, that's good but their kindness is also their weakness."
Crash!
"Ahhhh! I'm so sorry, sir! Please forgive me- Ah!"
"Do you really thing that I'll accept your pathetic apologize?! That wrist clock was expensive!"
"P-please, forgive me- Kyaaa! Let go! Let go! Let gooo!"
Sakura turned her head to the side and saw a fat man grabbing a little girl's brown hair. The little girl cried and tried to get away from the man.
"Like I said, too kind to fight back," Sakura gritted her teeth and walked towards the little girl and the man.
The man notice her approaching them and grabbed the little girl's wrist with his left hand letting her hair he was holding in his right hand fall. The brown-haired girl sobbed quietly sending the pinkett pleading glazes.
"You want something?" He sneered at her.
The people around them stopped what they were doing and started to crowd around the three.
"I indeed want something," replied Sakura emotionless. "I want you to let her go so I can kick your sorry ass!"
She heard shocked gasps around her making her roll her eyes.
The man was also shocked at her not noticing that he let the girl's wrist go. Not feeling his fand around her wrist anymore, the little girl ran towards the pinkett and hugged her leg while trembling in fear.
Sakura knelt down and patted her head before telling her to stay behing her.
"Don't worry, I'll make him accept your apologize," grinned Sakura.
"I heard that! Who do you think you are?! Don't you know who I am?!" shouted the man, pissed off.
"To be honest, I really don't know who you are nor am I interested to know who you are," Sakura rolled her eyes in annoyance and stepped forward.
"You bitch! I'm Fujiware Ryuga! The owner of the Fujiwara Company! I'm here to meet some business people but since they are not here I've wasted my time on some stupid peoples! You would also be pissed off when some little stupid poor brat break something expensive frrom you! I want an apologize from you and the little brat-"
"Oh, really? That's wonderful... are you finished?" Sakura faked a yawn.
"W-what?! I want an apologize-"
"First, I don't care that you are some fat rich man. Second, I'm not you so don't think that I'll be pissed of because of an accident. Third, I'm not going to apologize nor does the little girl. But you... you'll apologize to her since you use violence instead of wise words. And you'll pay for that mistake..."
Ryuga clenched his fists and ran towards her. "You whore! YOU'LL PAY!" He threw his hand back then aimed it at the pinkett's face.
The pinkett grabbed his fist, not taking her blank eyes off of him.
"L-let go!" yelled Ryuga.
"Tell me one good reason why I should listen to you?" Sakura leaned closerr to him. "You hadn't listened to the girl as she told you to let her go."
"I'M FUJIWARA RYUGA!"
A dry chuckle escape her. "That not a good reason!"
Pulling his hands towards her, Sakura kicked him before punching him hard in his face. He screamed in pain and stumbled backwards landing on his butt. His eyes widened in terror seeing the pinkett walking towards him while cracking her knuckles.
"G-get away from me!"
"You're really bad at memorizing things, huh? Then I'll knock you some memories that you will never forget," growled Sakura darkly.
"I'll apologize! H-hey, little girl! I'm sorry! I'm really so so sorry for hurting you! Please forgive me! D-do you want some money? Tell me how much you want and I'll give it to you! Just tell the pink-haired girl not to hurt me- Argh! Stop it! I already apologized!"
"You did but I'm now in the mood to kill someone,"
"WHAT?!"
"Eh? You're not only bad at memorizing things but you're also bad at hearing? Bad for you-"
"S-stop it!" cried the little girl. "P-please don't hurt him! I-i forgive him s-so please!"
Raising an eyebrow, Sakura looked at the girl then back at the man then back at the girl who was now starting to cry again. Sakura sighed in defeat and let the man go. Ryuga stood up and ran away from her.
"There goes my fun... Oh well, never mind. What you're name?" asked Sakura, walking back to the girl before taking the bandage out of her bag and wrapped it around the girl's wrist.
"M-my name is Tsubaki Kimiko b-but you can call me K-kimi," stuttered Kimiko and bowed. "T-thank you for h-helping me, onee-san."
"You're welcome, I'm Haruno Sakura by the way," smiled Sakura, ruffling her brown hair.
"I-is there a way t-to pay you back?"
"I don't need anything,"
"B-but I want to d-do s-something for you!"
Sakura sighed tiredly. "Maybe there is something you can do for me."
"W-what should I do for you, onee-san?"
"Don't let anyone hurt you because you accidentaly broke something, got it? Fight if you're in danger or if you want to help someone who needs help. Like how I faught to help you," said Sakura and started to walk away from the little girl and away from the crowd of surprised people.
"F-fight back? Violence is not good," muttered Kimiko quietly but Sakura heard her clearly.
Kimiko noticed that the pinkett stopped walking and turned her head to look in her eyes.
"Fight for the ones you care and love, fight for the people who'll be your friends in the future, fight for the ones who doesn't have the strength to fight back. Do anything to protect your precious people, your home... your family. Don't you ever forget that and don't worry, we'll meet agin...Kimiko-chan." With that said, Sakura continue to walk away leaving a stunned little girl behind.
Tears started to stream down her cheek as she watched the pink-haired woman walkng away. Her tears were not sad tears, they were tears of happiness this time.
"My dear! Kimiko, you alright?!"
'Ai-baa...'
"Kimi-chan! What happened?! You were suppose to meet us at the playground today! Did you forgot that I'll be teaching you how to make flower crowns?"
'Hana-chan...'
"Stupid Kimiko! If you don't want to play then tell us before you leave!"
'Mitsuru-kun...'
"Kimiko, dear, what's the matter? Are you hurt?" asked her grandmother in concern.
"Fight for the ones you care and love,"
Kimiko gave her grandmother a big hug and hugged her two friends too. "I'm fine, obaa-san, I'm just really happy! I meet someone but she left already. She's really cool and is now my friend!"
"Fight for the people who'll be your friends in the future,"
"Oh yeah?" Hana smiled. "What's her name?"
"Her name is Haruno Sakura!" giggled Kimiko. "She'll come back again! And then I'll introduce you guys to her!"
"We'll meet again... Kimiko-chan."
Ai smiled, pulling the three childrend into hug. "I can't wait to meet her."
"Un! Me too!"
"Tch, if she's really cool like you said then I want to be friends with her too,"
Kimiko nodded and looked up at the clear blue sky.
'Thank you, Sakura-nee!'
