Chapter 2: Don't ever leave me alone

"Where the heck have you been?!" Sakura's mother yelled and palmed her daughter's face.

She never told her other where she was because she doesn't really care, she asks just because he wants the paparazzi to think she's a worried mother. But this time was different, she couldn't answer.

"Why.. why can't you speak ?! Your voice was the only reason I kept you alive !" Sakuya Haruno was angry, very angry. "Go to your room, I'm gonna punish you later."

Sakura bowed and went upstairs to her room. Sakuya went to the living room and took a cigarette, she started remembering her past.

Sakuya Haruno, also known as the 'Genius singer born once at ten generations'. Her parents were poor people but she was found by a man and begun to register her own songs. Her success was incredible, her fans were growing year by year. Sakuya was a cheerful, beautiful girl who at the age of 16 fell in love with her manager. He took advantage of her innocence and destroyed it; that's when Sakuya remain pregnant with Sakura. Of course her manager fired her so that nobody will find he's the one that destroyed her future. The fans along with the paparazzi find out soon that she's pregnant and she was too scared of killing an unborn baby. Her parents died because of a car accident so she was left all alone. Sakuya had some money saved so she was able to live until she give birth so Sakura, so she tried to love her. After that, every recorder company refused her. Who would've accept a 17 years old girl with a baby? Nobody. Sakuya couldn't love Sakura anymore but she still kept her alive since the paparazzi were still after her.

Knock-Knock

"Come in." Sakuya finished her cigarette.

Her maid, the only person she could trust, came in. "Sakuya-san, have you decided?"

The woman didn't answer at first but she finally looked at her friend and answered. "Yes, let her go."

Today was the 3rd time Sakura packet a few of her things in a bag and tried to run away. Without her voice, she was sure that her mother will kick her out anytime so she prefered to leave herself; she knew the perfect place where to go. The little girl jumped on her window and waved to her house, it will her last goodbye.

The past week since she came back, Sasuke talked so much more than before. He felt guilty and she knew this, even thought it wasn't his fault at all. Sakura brought a lot of new clothes for Sasuke so she was happy to give them to him now. After she jumped the wall, Sasuke was waiting there for her smiling. That's what he did everyday since then but Sakura knew he isn't doing this because he's feeling guilty, but because he needs her as much as she needs him.

"I'll take this for you." he said and grabbed the big bag.

They went to another place today, it was a little house with two rooms at the end of Tokyo.

Sasuke smiled proud when he saw Sakura's surprised expression. "I worked for this old woman here and she passed away two days ago, she left us the house."

Sakura was so happy, this ment that Sasuke accepted her living with him. They walked into the little house; the first room had a little bed but it was enough for those two little kids, a window with curtains as blue as the walls, a little table and a closet. The other room was a bit smaller and it looked like a kitchen; a few plates put on a big table in the middle of the room, a sink and another window covered by white curtains. Everything was perfect for Sakura and her happiness ment Sasuke's happiness.

As the little girl started unpacking her things, she saw a picture of an old woman on the table.

"She was the old woman that took care of me last week and passed away." Sasuke told with sadness in his voice. Sakura took some candles from her bag and put them near the photo. She put her palms together and started praying for the old lady's soul, kneeling down. Sasuke followed her and after a few moments, he told her. "I'm gonna protect you Sakura. No matter what.. I'm gonna protect you, I promise !"

She hugged him and nodded, she was the most happy person in the world.


Sakura and Sasuke were holding hands, they parents were behind them smiling proudly.

"So, ready for the first day of school ?" A black-haired woman asked, it was Sasuke's mother.

Sakura looked down insecure, she was a bit afraid that people would probably make fun of her hair. Their parents hugged their childs and Sasuke held Sakura's hand tighter.

They looked at each other and smiled. "Yes!" they answered at the same time and went into their middle-school.

As they stopped in front of the door, Sasuke smiled at Sakura confident. "Don't worry Sakura, I'll always be by your side so you can count on me !"

Her worries disappeared in the next second, that was Sasuke's power.

The two childs entered in the class; every girl and boy were blushing as they looked at the two of them.

They looked perfect together. Sasuke looked at every girl from the class and he confirmed his thoughts; Sakura was still the most beautiful girl he ever saw.


Sakura woke up first and looked at Sasuke's sleepy face, it was the most beautiful thing she could ever imagine. The little girl went silently to the kitchen and prepared some eggs for the breakfast, Sasuke woke up soon and she smiled.

"G-Good morning." this was the first morning that they spend together, Sasuke was still a bit embarrassed.

She put the plates with two eggs and some vegetables on the table and smiled brightly at Sasuke. They ate in silence but Sakura will always remember this moment, because it's the first time they have breakfast together.

"I want to show you something." Sasuke said as Sakura finished washing the dishes.

She looked at him surprised, he lend her his hand.

...

Sakura's expression showed her surprise and happiness. They were sitting in silence on the grass and looking at the lake full of white swans, it was so beautiful, only Sasuke could make such a surprise. Sakura jumped on Sasuke and hugged him tightly, it didn't matter that everyone was staring at them. Sasuke read on Sakura's lips 'Thank you, Sasuke-kun'. How much he missed Sakura's voice..

The wind was still blowing but the clothes that Sakura bought for Sasuke were warm, he gave her his muffler. Once again, she smiled as a thank you. They walked around the silent and frozen park, looking at every detail. Suddenly, Sakura let go of Sasuke's hand and ran to a tree. Before he could stop her, she started climbing up.

"What are you doing?!" Sasuke yelled running to the tree, she was already up.

She gave him a sad look and pointed to a little kitty that trembled. He understood but she should've told him to help her, she's so careless.

"Get down, I'll climb and save her !" she shook her head and denied.

Sakura catched the kitty with one hand but the branch broke and she fell on Sasuke. Scared, she hid her face; Sasuke sighed. "Are you alright?" she nodded. The little boy patted her head. "I'm glad." he smiled brightly.


Sasuke was angry, very angry. And everybody know what happens when an Uchiha is angry right?

A dark aura surrounded the little Uchiha that was now in 3rd middle-school year, he and Sakura had the gym class.

"Why are you angry?" Sakura asked annoyed, she hated how childish Sasuke was acting.

"Change your clothes." he ordered, forgetting with whom he was speaking.

"Why?"

He turned his head in other direction. Well, he had a point here. Sakura's gym clothes were a thin and simply shirt and.. a pair of SHORT pants. I mean, short like a pair of panties.

"Isn't it obvious?!" he yelled as the other boys were still staring at Sakura. Sasuke turned around and gave the to his classmates a death glare.

"Uchiha Sasuke, are you jealous?" She loved to tease him.

His cheeks begun to show a bit of blush. "Hn."

"Well then, I'll just go to the class and-"

"JUST PUT THIS FUCKING JACKET ON YOU !" he yelled and threw his jacket.

She giggled and did as he said.

"Thank you, Sasuke-kun."


The first days were perfect, they had been together the whole time and Sasuke forgot the past and how hard it is to search for food. After a week, Sakura received a letter from her mother.

"I'll send you money every week, just don't ever come back."

She took out the money her mother gave her and smiled at Sasuke, even thought she still felt a little sadness; Sakura loved her mother, but now she was able to live with Sasuke. The money that Sakuya gave to them every week was the same amount, enough for them to have something to eat and once in a while clothes, but not enough for them to go to school. Sasuke is the only one that can read on Sakura's lips so he can't send her alone to school. Moreover, he promised he'll protect her and the other kids will surely make fun of her because she can't speak, he can't let this happen.

...

"No, I won't let you do this !" Sasuke catched the man's leg and stopped him with all his strength.

"Just give up, brat ! We'll destroy this house even if you want it or not." he pushed Sasuke near Sakura, she was crying silently.

He can't do anything, he can't protect the place Sakura loved. They both watched how their little house was breaking into pieces. Those people are gonna transform their house and their courtyard into a graveyard and the only thing they can do it watch. Why? Because in this world, money is what can take your soul. Those people were paid to do this, he can't stop them because he doesn't have money. That's when Sasuke and Sakura realized together that this world is too sad.

Sakura took Sasuke's hand as she wiped away her tears. He understood her message and left together.

"We'll get through this together, Sakura. Just don't ever leave me alone." They held hands and left.
