"Thank you so much, Kiba." said Sakura as she began to cry harder and harder.

The boy wiped away her tears as Tsunade asked, "Sakura, who's this boy?"

Never the Same Again

What's with Sasuke?

"This is Kiba Inuzuka and little Akamaru. I can stay with him, Tsunade-sama." said Sakura as she sat back down.

"Sakura, what happened to you?" cried Kiba as he stroke her hair.

Sakura told Kiba what happened and what her stepmother did to her.

"Now Mr. Inuzuka, you must watch over Sakura at all times out of school property. We'll inform her friends about what happened so she is safe in school. Sakura, you may go home with Mr. Inuzuka now while I talk to the ANBU and your friends. Dismissed." Tsunade continued.

Sakura, Sasuke, and Kiba then walked out of the office. Sasuke walked with Sakura and Kiba to Kiba's car before… Kiba grabbed Sasuke collar.

"You are so lucky that I'm not gonna do anything you son of a-"

"KIBA! Calm down, Sasuke did nothing. It was all Suki's fault. Let's just go home." said Sakura.

Kiba let go of Sasuke's shirt and walked to the car.

"Sakura, I…" Sasuke said before Sakura grabbed his hand.

"We'll talk later." she said as she gave him a little kiss on the cheek. She got in Kiba's car as he drove off. (A/N PMSing I know. Sorry!)

"Sakura…" he whispered before going back inside the school.

The whole day all Sakura could thin about was Sasuke and vise versa.

A few hours later, Kiba heard a knock on the door. He made sure the kunai he hid was in grabbing distance just in case it was someone that was gonna hurt Sakura. Kiba opened the door only to see Sasuke standing there.

"What do you want, Uchiha?" said Kiba.

"I was wondering if I could talk to Sakura." he said nervously.

"She sleeping." Kiba said coldly.

He was still mad about what Sasuke did to her at school.

"Kiba, whose there?" said Sakura tiredly, walking down the steps.

"It's the Uchiha boy. You want to talk to him?" said Kiba while walking over to Sakura.

Sakura said while rubbing her eyes, "Sure."

She walked back upstairs as Sasuke walked inside.

"I'm watching you." said Kiba as he returned to the kitchen.

When Sasuke got to Sakura's room, he saw all the medication everywhere.

What have I done thought Sasuke as he saw Sakura lying down on the bed.

He sat down on the bed next to her.

"So, how are you feeling?" said Sasuke while stroking her hair.

"I've been better. I should have told you about my stepmother. I also shouldn't have talked to Temari about it while she was home. I should have known…" Sakura began to blame herself before Sasuke pressed his lips against hers.

Sasuke then pulled away and said, "I'm the one who should have been sorry. I swear, I will NEVER do what I've been doing ever again. You've really changed me, Sakura, and for that, I thank you." said Sasuke before he stood up.

"Where are you going?" cried Sakura as she grabbed Sasuke's wrist.

"Well, Kiba might kill me if I stay here, so…"

"So what? I'm sure he'll understand. Besides, I really want you to stay right now." Sakura said while letting go of Sasuke.

He smiled, yes the Uchiha prodigy smiled, at her then sat down on the bed again. Sasuke and Sakura began to talk about themselves. Sasuke could just feel him being with her for a long time.

Everyday, Sasuke would come over and over. Then, on the weekend, when Sakura was fully healed and the cast was gone, everyone came over. Neji, Shikamaru, Naruto, Hinata, Ino, TenTen, Yuki (Kiba's girlfriend), Sasuke, and Temari.

Temari went up to Kiba and said, "Um, can Sakura come hang out with us today?"

"Well, that's up to Sakura." said Kiba before calling her down.

"Yeah Kiba?" said Sakura before she saw everyone.

"They wanna hang out with you. You up for it." said Kiba.

"Of course." Sakura then grabbed her backpack and ran over to them.

"Glad to see you're up and running again." said Naruto as he walked off with Hinata.

"Thanks. Bye Kiba!" said Sakura as she walked out the door.

Then everyone else followed. Kiba pulled Sasuke over to him and said, "I want you to protect Sakura, ok? I don't wanna be like a body guard all day so take care of her, Uchiha." Sasuke nodded and ran over to Sakura.

Kiba then walked over to the living room with his girlfriend, Yuki. They all walked over to the mall. Even though Sakura was sacred to go out in public, she felt safe when she was with Sasuke. A few hours later, the guys went back to Kiba's house. When Sakura walked threw the door, she saw Kiba holding a letter. Sasuke and the guys sat down on the couches and continued to laugh and talk. Sakura walked over to Kiba, who handed her the letter without a word.
