Sakura sighed as she and Sasuke left those two traitors. Sasuke made an abrupt stop, when they were surely far away from Sai and Ino.
"Wanna talk about it?" he questioned Sakura; concern was visible in his deep, smooth voice.
"I'd rather not, I'm sorry," she said, while looking at his face. His eyes brows furrowed. He was very concerned about her, she could tell.
"Why should you be sorry? You don't want to talk about it, so its okay," he said, as he lifted his hand up from the steering wheel. He leaned over to Sakura's side and pushed away some stray banks that were in her face.
Sakura looked at him with confusion. "Sorry, I'm a bit of a neat freak, I got it from my mom," he said, as he smiled.
Sakura looked at him and giggled, she thought that he was funny.
"So captain, where do you want to go?" Sasuke asked her, still smiling.
"Anywhere but back there," she said as she shivered inwardly.
"Which is..?" he questioned her. She giggled again, before stopping. It looked like she was thinking hard. She stopped to think for a small second before saying…
"Can we go to the beach?" She asked him with cute little puppy dog eyes. "Aye, Aye Captain" he said as he gave a fake salute.
This time, Sakura laughed, he was really starting to get on her good side.
"You're funny you know, I think that this start of a new friendship," she said, while she smiled widely.
They drove off, to the beach. When they finally reached their destination, Sakura finally said,
"I love the beach; it's my favorite place to be. I used to go here before with my big brother." Tears started to escape her Jade eyes.
She quickly wiped her tears and got out the car, with Sasuke by her side.
"Sasuke?" she questioned as they started to walk on the beach, the sun was setting, the beach looked gorgeous with the rays of red, yellow had started to color the beach, leaving a glow on the sand.
"Hmm," he said, waiting for her to continue.
"Can you tell me about your past?" she questioned him, as she sat on the sand, she sat with her knees in front of her.
"If I tell you, will you tell me about what your past is?" he asked, joining her on the cool sand.
"Sure," she said.
"It all started when I was younger, I used to go here for my holidays to visit my Grandma, before she passed away. I used to go to this exact beach with my brother. We used to splash around in the water, playing and running around the beach. That was before my Grandma died as I said before. Then my family started to become distant to each other my mom decided that it would be better if we moved here because there would be no one to take care of the house. I guess that's all" he said smiling sadly.
"Oh I'm sorry she said, as she caressed his hand, in order to comfort him.
"Now can you tell me about you?" he asked with hopeful eyes.
"Well it all started when I was younger then…. I had just gone to elementary school; I was bullied a lot because they thought I was an easy subject. I didn't have many friends until, Sai and Ino had befriended me. We were tight and stuck together until junior high, I told Sai that I liked him and we started to go out. We sort of drifted apart from then on." She said looking onto the horizon, she sighed.
"Oh," was all he could say.
"It's getting dark soon; I think we should leave now. Don't you think so Sasuke?" She asked him.
"Umm fine if that's what you want," he said, you could see sadness in her eyes, but then it quickly disappeared.
Sakura just stood up, she was still looking outside. Sasuke noticed that she didn't want to leave.
He lightly held her hand, "It's okay to cry," he whispered in her ear, while he caressed her hair lightly.
Sakura, who had a lot of things going on in her head, just broke down, again like before. This time it was different, there was someone to hold her tightly, when she felt sad.
Sasuke, she thought before saying, "thank you…. Thank you for being there for me, thank you for holding me," she said as she hugged him back.
Sasuke didn't say anything; he just looked down at her beautiful tear-stained face and wiped the tears that were on her face.
He understood how she felt, inside Sasuke felt rage take over him. He didn't know why, but he felt like she left something out.
He didn't want to pressure for answers, so they went home in silence. Mostly because she fell asleep on the way.

Saukra sighed as she quickly wrote the notes on her school board. Yesterday had been fun though, it was tense.
As she finished completing her text, she closed her book and laid her head on the desk. She had been thinking about what happened to her lately, the encounters had been really agitating.
It was at least a week since Sai and Ino had talked to her, it seemed like they had given up trying to explain.
She heard the dismissal bell, telling her that there was lunch the next period, but she didn't want any.
She had been extra careful with avoiding them and she was successful, but sometimes she wasn't successful at times.
She walked up to her locker and kept her notes in there. She brought her lunch out and took the apple in the little brown bag.
She wiped it and took a small bite, before turning around, to search for Sasuke. To tell you the truth, she had become so fond of him lately; they had been spending a lot of time together.
Sakura heard someone whisper from behind her. But as she turned around, she didn't see anyone.
'I thought that someone was there,' she thought quickly, as she shook her head.
Sakura sighed again, as she ran her hand through her hair. She had been looking for Sasuke for half of lunch, but still couldn't find him.
'Relax, it's just lunch and since when couldn't you go anywhere without him,' she thought.
"Sakura, you're worrying to yourself, he's just fine," she thought out loud and continued to search the library. She was allowed in the library for lunch, the librarian had given her privileges, to come to the library and eat there.
She decided to give up, and turned around. But that moment on, Sakura was hit on her pressure point and knocked out cold.
The person carried her to a nearby janitor's closet. Or may I say people; yes there were more than one person in on this, people who wanted to talk to her for a really long time.

Sasuke walked around the school hallways; he had just come out of the school office. There was a phone call for him…
Flashback:
"Uchiha Sasuke, please report to the office immediately." Sasuke heard the P.A. system call.
He was on his way to meet Sakura; he knew that she would be waiting for him in the library. He was a little worried though; she might not have heard the P.A. He really needed to go to the office though, the last time he was late… well lets just say it didn't go well for Sasuke.
As he opened the dark oak door of the school office, he saw Ms. Maria, the school secretary. "Ms. Maria, I have a phone call to attend to. My name is Uchiha Sasuke," he said as politely as he could.
He wished that he was with Sakura, he felt as if it was his responsibility to protect her from the likes of Sai and Ino.
She silently handed him the phone and went back to her work, "Hello," Sasuke said into the phone receiver. "Sasuke, honey," He heard a woman reply back.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Sasuke asked, worriedly. His mom only called him at school, when there was a big problem at home.
"It's Itachi, he's sick…" he heard her say, with an unsteady voice.
"What's wrong with him mom? Can't he stay home today? Are you busy? Do you want me to go home and check on him?"Sasuke asked, his eyebrows furrowed, he was getting really worried. He loved Itachi a lot; he was the only one who understood him.
"Itachi I-I-I-I-Itachi has Stomach Cancer, We went to the doctor's today because Itachi felt pain in his stomach and also because he had a big headache. They took an x-ray and they found a big tumor in his stomach, Sasuke, I don't have money for his medication." Sasuke's mom finished, sobbing bitterly.
Sasuke, who was frozen with shock, dropped the phone and it cluttered nosily on the floor. His breathing was heavy. The secretary looked up from her work, everyone in the office stopped what they were doing, just to look at Sasuke.
"Sir is everything okay?" the secretary asked, even though she knew this would happen. His mother called and told her the news before she told Sasuke.
"Y-Y-Y-Yeah," Sasuke said, sadly, picking up the phone and placing it in its correct place.
End of flashback:
I was his dad's entire fault, He didn't tell anyone this, but his dad had left to go abroad when Itachi, Sasuke's eldest brother was only a year old. He had run out on them, leaving his pregnant mom with him, the unborn baby. And he hasn't made contact with them since, he didn't even send money.
Even though Itachi worked, his payment wasn't a lot. They had just moved here after all and Itachi was still a college student.
Sasuke sighed, he really needed to vent this out, he walked into the library and he searched for Sakura, he really needed to tell someone.
well another end of a perfectly good chapter of new hope.
Hope you enjoyed it. I know i enjoyed writing it.
