"He doesn't need me… he doesn't need me! Get it through your thick head!" she yelled at herself. Her pace quickened as Sakura kept in scolding herself and soon she had started to run.
"Sakura-chan...Sasuke has a girlfriend." the memory flashed through her head. "You-You knew?!" 'Of course I knew!' her eyes here covered by her bangs as tears fell down her face. A low rumble was heard as rain stared to pour down on her. But she didn't care. Not at all.
By the time Sakura arrived at the Garden Of Eden Flower Shop she was completely drenched, soaked from head to toe. She stopped at the front to catch her breath. She was still panting due to the running that she did.
"OMG!! Sakura!!" Exclaimed Ino. She looked horrified at seeing Sakura soaked to the bone. "What on earth were you thinking?! Where is your umbrella?!" she ran and got her a towel.
Sakura blinked a couple of times. "Sorry, I must of forgotten it back at my house." she answered lamely. Ino looked at her friend she could tell something was off, very off. Usually, Sakura would laugh nervously, say her excuse, and then ending it with "Ino-pig". Ino frowned, 'Something's not right.' she thought "Are you alr-"
"I'm fine Ino." Sakura said cutting Ino off, then leaving for the employee changing room and changed into her working uniform. When she was done, she re-entered the room to find that Ino had not moved from the spot she last saw her in. She chose to ignore this. As soon as Ino saw Sakura was in the room she sighed. Then she went over to the back counter and pilled out a bag
"Hey Sakura, do you mind doing me a favor?" She asked Sakura. Sakura just shrugged in response. 'O.K. Who is this girl and what happened to my happy-cheerful-laugh-about-nothing friend?!?' Ino yelled in her head. This is the first time that Sakura has ever acted this way. She was always a happy, spirited girl who always looked at the positive side of things. Whatever was going on with Sakura, it was starting to worry Ino. 'I hope this passes quickly or the others might think that I did something to make her this way. OMG, what will Sasuke and Naruto say.' she thought in her head. Ino definitely did not want to be on their People-to-Punish list.
"Can you please take this to Naruto's place on you way back home? I forgot to give it back to him at school." Ino pause for a second. "I heard Neji say that Sasuke was going to stop by later today. Might be fun." Sakura tensed when she heard Ino say His name. Hesitantly she nodded her head, took the bag from Ino, and placed it in her backpack. For the rest of the day it went pretty normal, excluding the fact that Sakura's attitude didn't change and that she wasn't smiling anymore.
On her way back to her house she remembered about the bag that Ino asked her to take to Naruto. She stopped at an apartment complex and walked up the familiar staircase towards Naruto's apartment. Before she could knock on the door she heard people arguing inside. To be more specific, she could hear Naruto and Sasuke arguing. She decided to listen to it for a little bit more.
"Look Teme, I usually don't give a rat's ass who the hell you date, but I do care when you keep it a secret… Especially from Sakura!" yelled Naruto.
He and Sasuke have been at it for the past thirty minutes. Naruto got home about two hours earlier and then invited Neji to play some video games with him since Hinata had left about forty five minutes earlier. Then after playing some fighting games, Sasuke came over. He tried his best to act normal but the conversation that he had with Sakura earlier that day was bugging the hell out of him. Soon a conversation turned into an argument.
"You are such a Baka! If I had known that you would have acted this way, I would have never told you in the first place!!" yelled Sasuke. Oh yeah… he was pissed. All he did was come over to hang out with Naruto like he always did on the weekends. He had no idea why Naruto stated this conversation in the first place. So what if he was going out with Yuzu. It's not like Naruto ever cared before. Hell! Even Neji was in this argument, and he was taking Naruto's side. 'What the fuck did I do?' he asked himself.
"Yeah, like the fact that you haven't even told anyone about this… Not even Sakura? I thought she was your friend too, Sasuke!!"
"I haven't seen anyone today so how can I tell them?!? Use whatever's left in your brain to think before you say something!!"
"No you use your head. What's it been like three months!? I'm pretty positive that you haven't seen us." he said in a sarcastic tone.
"Kami! You are being a total jackass about all of this! What the hell is your problem?! And why the hell is it that every time you say something it always somehow goes back to Sakura!?"
"You're the one being a jackass here. Just open your fucking eyes bastard! Kami, I'm surprised that Sakura even stayed friends with you for so long."
"There! You see!?! There you go again!! What does she have anything to do with this!?!"
"This has everything to do with her!!"
"Damn it! I should have told one of the others before you!!"
"What good will that do you? They would probably have acted the exact same way or maybe worse." Neji replied coolly. He was the only one that was not screaming or yelling at the other.
"Stay out of this Hyuuga!!" snapped Sasuke
"You know, I'm starting to wonder how Sakura and you ever became friends in the first place. You always act likea jerk to her" he replied in the same tone. He too is one of Sakura's close friends and even treats her like a little sister most of the time, just like the others do. No one was allowed to hurt their Sakura and get's away with it. He was absolutely not happy with the little bit of information that he got during this fight. 'That jerks blind if he doesn't realize that Sakura likes him.' he thought about how Sakura would react once she finds out about all of this. 'She should of just stayed the hell away form him, moved on, and ignore him. She'd be better off that way' he thought angrily along with the new torturing techniques that he would just love to try on Sasuke at this very moment.
"I said stay out of this!!" Sasuke yelled, "If I hear her name one more time I swear that I'm going to beat the stuffing out of the both of you!!"
"I'd like to see you try, Uchiha." Neji glared at him. "Hey Naruto, we should see if he could do it. I'm sure Sakura w-"
"That's it!!" yelled Sasuke. He kicked the table in front of him making it fly across the room. (Boom) "I fucking told you two quit saying her name!! And you know what?! I hate her! I hope I never see her ugly face ever again!" he exclaimed.
Little did he know, the said person was standing quietly outside the closed door listening to the whole conversation. One of her fists were gripping her backpack strap hard while the other was at her side bleeding from the fresh self-inflicted nail cut. Then, without realizing it, she opened the door shocking everyone in it.
She glared at everyone in the room finally glaring at Sasuke only. "Are you done talking about me?" she asked coolly, her voice as sharp as a freshly sharpened knife.
Sasuke's face had instantly paled at the sight of Sakura. Naruto was clutching his fists at his side while glaring at Sasuke. Neji looked over at her with a sad like look.
'Did she hear everything?!' thought Sasuke. Then he fully faced her. "L-look Sakura…I-I didn't…mea-" he stated to say, but Sakura cut him off by slapping his face. Sasuke was shocked, Sakura had never done that before, no matter how mad she got.
"Save it, Uchiha. I've heard enough. Don't worry about me bothering you again, consider me gone. You won't have to ever see me again." she said in a deadly tone. Never have they ever seen her like this or act like this before. They didn't like it. At all. Sakura turned to Naruto and gave him a weak smile. "Sorry Naruto about the intrusion to your home." she loosened her grip on her backpack and pulled out a bag that Ino had given her. "Ino told me to give this to you and sorry that she forgot to give it back."
"Uh… thanks Sakura-chan." Naruto said uncertainly, then took the bag form her and saw a bit of blood on the handle of it. Then Sakura turned around and greeted Neji the same way. Naruto noticed that the blood came from her hand and was bleeding slightly. Neji and Sasuke noticed this too, but didn't say anything about it.
"Well. I should get going." Sakura headed towards the door. "Bye Naruto, Neji-sempi." she stopped at the door the looked at Sasuke straight in the eyes with cold unemotional eyes, then said in the same deadly tone she used before, "Uchiha, I hate you too, and I hope to never, ever see your ugly face ever again either." Then she walked out of the apartment.
Sasuke just stood rooted to the same spot the whole time. He watched her retreating form leave the room. Then Neji got up too and headed for the door.
"Naruto… Don't kill him… yet. The others might want a chance to chew him out first." he said closing the door behind him.
There was now complete silence in the room. "And you call me a baka." Naruto half-saying to himself and half-saying it to Sasuke. "Close the door on your way out." Then he too walked out of the room into the kitchen and out of Sasuke's sight.
Sasuke barley heard what Naruto. He was too busy thinking about what Sakura had just told him. His face was pale and he stared uncertainly at the with carpet floor beneath him. 'W-What have I done?!' he walked to the door and left closing the door behind him with a small click.
Back in the apartment Naruto was leaning against the counter, arm crossed at his chest, and a frown upon his face. 'Sasuke… what will you do now?' the thought. Then he sighed and grabbed his cell phone to call his girlfriend and tell her bout everything.

Preview for chapter three:
"You know, I'm starting to wonder how Sakura and you ever became friends in the first place. You're always a jackass to her" 'I have not. She's my closest friend.'
"You know what?! I hate her! I hope I never see her ugly face ever again!" 'T hat's not true, I don't hate her. I-I lo-.' he stopped his train of thought there. He couldn't think that. She was his best friend and best friends don't think that way about each other. He sighed. He didn't even know even if they were even friends anymore, much less best friends.
