Sasuke
Sasuke was having a perfectly normal day. The fangirls had ogled over him, he ignored them, like usual. The teacher had praised him for his shuriken, he didn't care. Everything had been perfectly normal. Everything except her.
She was in a pitiful condition. At the moment Ino, the class bully was tormenting her. Everyone seemed to not like her, yet Sasuke didn't know why. She, her name was Sakura, Sasuke thought, never did anything to anyone. She just cried a lot when they tormented her
"stop it!" Sakura yelled, "they barely did anything yet she's in tears…" Sasuke thought. "how weak". Sasuke turned away from the sight. He wasn't a sadist but he didn't particularly care about her. That was, until he heard a cry of pain.
When Sasuke turned back towards them, it seemed someone had punched her, punched a girl in the face. This caused her to pass out. "what the hell?" Sasuke said. "who could have done this?" but as he said this, someone ran past him, running towards the scene.
"oh, he's gonna help" Sasuke said. As stupid as it may seem, even Sasuke Uchiha had a heart and he didn't like what he saw in front of him. He was hoping whoever that was would help that lady. "that's dumb" he thought.
But then Sasuke realized something. That boy, no, the whole crowd of people weren't helping Sakura, they were hurting her. "well I can't help her" Sasuke said "I'll just… wooh!" like his body had a mind of its own it went and tried to pull al the people off of Sakura. "she's goanna die at this point!" he thought.
"they won't come off!" Sasuke thought. "no" he said. He knew that won't work. There were a lot of people trying to hit her now, Sasuke couldn't pull them all off. "heh" Sasuke said "I spent hours practicing this jutsu." Everyone ignored him, it seemed everything was off today.
"well if you won't listen" he thought "I'll make you listen!". "Katon: Goukakyu no Jutsu!" Sasuke shouted. Some of the more experienced academy goers jumped away. But most of the freshmen were severely burned. Sasuke itself couldn't believe what had just happened, he could be suspended for a month for using jutsu without a sensei's permission, or worse banned forever.
Even whoever had been involved just stared at Sasuke. Uchiha Sasuke, saving Haruno Sakura? If this was uttered anywhere else his reputation would be ruined. Yet Sasuke didn't care. He just took Sakura in his arms, and ran for Konoha lake, the one place in Konoha where fighting was banned.
. . . . .
Sakura
She didn't remember anything. No, she didn't want to remember anything. As she went to sleep, all Sakura thought was "finally". She wasn't able to handle it. Sakura told herself long ago she would stay strong, not care what others would think. But that was hard when everyone thought the same of her.
"monster!" "you killed my father!" "why are you even alive? Just die already!" Sakura didn't know what she had done. Sakura didn't remember killing anyone's father, much less anyone. She had thought "finally" as she thought she had done all that, though she didn't remember it. 'Finally' Sakura could get a chance to atone for her sins.
Then he came in the middle. Sakura despised him. Sasuke he called himself. Sakura knew that he saved her, but she didn't want to be saved. Sasuke just took her in his arms and carried her away, like he owned her. Could she not even die in peace?
"let me…" she started
"shh" he said "your weak at the moment, ill get you to the hospital and then you can talk"
Sakura looked at him in amazement. No one had ever cared enough to take her to the hospital before. Perhaps everyone didn't hate her…
"why?" she asked"
Sasuke looked at her confusingly. "why? Why what?"
"why would you help me? No one in the class likes me, much less the great Sasuke Uchiha"
She stressed his name, as if mocking him. Sasuke sighed. He agreed with this girl, he didn't know why he was helping her, he would normally be overcome with indifference. Definitely not helping random bullied girls in his class. Sasuke thought about her question a bit, and then replied
"Because you're a Konoha Shinobi, and its my duty to help you"
Sakura was stunned at this. Someone cared. Someone actually cared. Overcome with emotion, she cried. Right into his shirt where he was carrying her, she cried. To know that someone cared. That made Sakura so happy. Crying like this itself, she found herself being sleepy. So she fell asleep in Sasuke's arms. And though she wasn't sure whether she saw it or not, she was pretty sure she saw Sasuke smile.
Sasuke
it didn't take that long for him to reach the hospital, Sasuke was fast on his feet. Plus, the hospital wasn't too far. He reached the reception hoping someone was there. Luckily he could see someone inside the hospital. He approached them.
"hello, I would like to get treatment for my friend here" Sasuke said
"oh, of course" the women replied. She turned around but her smiling face was replaced by a scowl as she saw Sakura. "I can't help you, sir, I'm sorry" she said
"why?" Sasuke asked
"I don't want to help… her"
"what's wrong with her" Sasuke asked.
The receptionist was going to say something, but decided against it. She pointed at the door. Signifying them to leave. Sasuke sighed, he shouldn't have gotten involved in the first place but he felt a certain connection to Sakura. Sasuke knew she needed medical help, and if this hospital wouldn't provide it, then Sasuke would do it himself. Glaring one last time at the women, he left the hospital, running for his house.
Sakura
"am I dead yet?" Sakura thought. She remembered Sasuke smiling, but that's it. When she next cold open her eyes she saw Sasuke arguing with the hospital receptionist.
"probably trying to get admission for me" she thought "that wont work, Sasuke-kun"
Sakura gasped as she rose awake. "I'm alive" she thought "how?"
then she turned to her right and saw him. Sasuke Uchiha. She was inside a house with the Uchiha emblem all over it. Probably his house, he had saved her. But why? She couldn't understand it. Why would, when all the happy townspeople act cruel to him, the coldest one of them all acts nice to her.
"are you awake?" he asked. This jerked Sakura out of her thoughts and back into the real world. She just looked at him. His onyx eyes, his black hair, his frowning mouth. As she looked at her wound, they were dressed with a white cloth. He actually cared for her, Sasuke actually had a soft side.
"okay, I'm goanna go and get dinner. can you eat by yourself?" he asked. She simply nodded. She didn't even know anything anymore.
"ok" Sasuke said as he left.
"is this what you call a friend?" Sakura thought "is the hell of loneliness over?" She cried tears of happiness. "it is" she whispered "IT IS" she shouted aloud, now laughing. Thankfully Sasuke couldn't hear her.
"No" she whispered. "It isn't" realization had struck her. Today, Sasuke had protected her. Tomorrow who would? The school bullies had begun to use kunai and pocket knives rather than fists. She'll die tomorrow. No one would help. She would die alone, as she had always been.
Crying tears, of sorrow this time. She snatched up one of Sasuke's kunai, as Sasuke walked in with the dinner.
"hey I… what?" he said. As he could only watch as Sakura aimed the kunai at her wrist and slashed it. Blood went everywhere as she did this. Sakura had no friends, Sakura didn't have any reason to live. In the end, as it had always been, Sakura was sad
