A.N.: So I started this fanfic awhile ago, and I wanted to revisit it and get it going again. This chapter is still the same as the old one, just a few spelling/grammar corrections.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of the characters.

Sakura blossoms fell from the trees as a pink haired girl lay on the ground crying. She wore sleeves of bruises and cuts.

"Why, why does this have to happen to me?" she asked to the heavens above but got no answer and began to cry even more.

The pink haired girl is known as Sakura, the most beautiful, smart and powerful girl in the village. Everyone thought her life was perfect, but they were wrong. Her mother passed away when she was 13 and left Sakura with her abusive father and brother.

When she was around people she acted perfect and tried not to let things people said get to her, but sometimes it was hard for her. The only person that she would let see her in a vulnerable state is her love, support and her everything, Sasuke. Sasuke Uchiha.

Sakura shivered as she heard the door open and then slam close. She heard faint footsteps getting louder. The foot steps stopped behind her and she didn't even look up. She waited for something to hit her or for her to suddenly be picked up by the hair and tossed away. When none of that happened she sighed and suddenly went stiff as a pair of hands were placed on her back, but they weren't the rough hands of her father or her brother. These hands she knew very well, they were soft and warm. She looked up and saw the man she was in love with, Sasuke.

"S-s-sasuke...what are you doing here." she struggled to say as she shifted away from him. Sasuke had seen her cry before, but no one, not even Sasuke, had seen her like this. Bloody and bruised.

She was worried when Sasuke didn't say anything. She looked into his eyes and saw sorrow and rage. Before she knew it, she was lifted off the ground and now in the Uchiha's arms. She placed her head on his chest and closed her eyes. Sasuke walked through the house. Before he could get out the front a large man appeared in front of him blocking the door.

"Where are you taking my cherry blossom?" the big man slurred from being drunk.

"Move." was all Sasuke said.

"No." Sakura's father swung at Sasuke, but he easily dodged big man stumbled to the ground with a thud. Sasuke stepped over him and out of the house.

Sasuke decided to take her to his house. Once they got there Sasuke walked to his room and placed her on his bed. He covered her up and watched her for a few moments while she slept. 'She looks so peaceful.' thinking as she lay there. That thought made Sasuke smile. He sighed and changed his clothes. He got a extra pillow and blanket and slept in the room right across from the room Sakura was in. He left both doors open so he could see her.

That night Sasuke didn't sleep very well. To many questions were running though his mind. He finally fell asleep around three am. He awoke to a loud banging sound coming from down stairs. His first thought was that Sakura's father had come looking for her. He ran down stairs and checked the door, still locked. He heard some mumbles coming form in the kitchen. Sasuke sighed a sigh of relief. He knew it was Sakura and walked to the kitchen door way. He smiled at the sight before him. Sakura was trying to fix breakfast but must have done something wrong. She was covered in flour. Sakura looked up at Sasuke and smiled.

This is the Sakura Sasuke was used to, happy, smiling and enjoying life. Sasuke couldn't stop thinking about yesterday and how much fear was in her eyes at that house. He wanted so badly to ask her about it but thought better of it. He would let her tell him when she was ready. Sasuke took another look at Sakura and laughed.

"Let's go out for breakfast. I'll be right back." Sasuke said walking away from the kitchen. Sakura wiped herself off and sat on the couch waiting for Sasuke. As Sasuke was walking down the stairs Sakura met him at the bottom. She hugged him tightly.

"Sasuke...I'm sorry." Sakura said looking into his eyes.

"For what?" Sasuke asked pushing her hair out of her face

"Well, about yesterday." she backed away and looked down.

"Sakura, look at me," when she didn't look up Sasuke raised her head with a finger under her chin "It's not your fault. You don't have to be sorry. You didn't do anything to deserve this." he hugged her tightly.

"Sasuke..."

"Yeah."

"I love you." she whispered where Sasuke could barley hear it

Sasuke smiled alittle. "I love you too, Sakura."

Sasuke kissed her on the lips and smiled. "Let's go"

Sasuke and Sakura walked to town holding hands in a comfortable silence. When they got there a group of people waved them over. They walked over.

"Hi everyone." Sakura said cheerfully.

"Hi Sakura, Hi Sasuke" they all said back. Sasuke just nodded.

They all walked into the restaurant and sat at a big table in the far right corner. It went: Sasuke, Sakura, Ino, Shikamaru, Naruto, Hinata, and Chouji.

Sasuke still didn't let go of Sakura's hand. He glared at any guy, that he didn't know, that stared at Sakura.
