3rd.JESUS ITS BEEN A WHILE! Sorry for the wait, I had fun during the break and Rockband 2 is DA BOMB! I'm very happy with this chapter, and this will finally begin to uncover the drama between our little Saku and Ino. MANY new character roles will stand out and many issues will arrive. This is only a prelude into what's to come. I REALLY NEED plenty of constructive criticism from all you creative writers. This chappy is really the more serious of the 3 so don't be surprised at the extreme change in demeanor.

BackYard: You remain ever faithful. Thank you, and please if I forget anything, or I need to work on a skill of mine don't be afraid to tell me. I happen to like your writing voice so any advice is welcomed.

kirbygirl13: I'm a huge, HUGE fan of your stories and to have a review by someone as experienced as yourself, HEAVEN (I'm NO suck up BTW :0). But I am seriously lovin' the fact you reviewed. Sorry 'bout the 1st chapter, it was only used to set the mood.

Tori Hoshi: I see nice to have you on board my friend, things will only get better.

Death Sword: I have humor, yes I DO! I have humor, you CAN TOO! :)

The only thing I liked about hospitals was the fact there was time to think and feel sorry for yourself.

Hospitals are places that hold death, pain, sorrow, and anguish within its white and too clean walls. The windows were too small, and you could only see a glimpse of what you're missing. I wasn't missing much. Just rain pattering on the flat surface of the window, and I hate rain. I hate hospitals. To know that your bed is just as white as the others and the walls the same, and yet blood has been spilt in this over sterilized hellhole is just too much. Man I need some…

"Sakura can I come in?" A monotone voice reached my ears and sighed knowing it was my doctor, Lenard Boykin.

"Ah, yes Dr. Boykin. I'm as decent as I can get." I was very quiet. After barfing my brains out my throat incredibly sore, so talking was not permitted for me unless necessary. The door opened slowly presenting 2 figures behind my doctor.

"You have visitors. Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto." He left promptly for privacy and I smiled the best I could at the two. Uchiha looked exceedingly sorrowful while Uzumaki was cheerful. Naruto handed me flowers and Sasuke scanned my body up and down.

"Your—Your hand." He looked down and I saw a few tears roll down his cheeks splashing on the sanitary floor below. I grabbed his hand resting gently on my bed and squeezed it softly. His head darted up and he moved to hug me. He was strangely warm for his cold demeanor, but I accepted the hug with no doubts.

"Sakura, we brought some other stuff too." Naruto grinned from ear-to-ear.

---ADEO---AEDIFICIUM---BESTIA---CAMPANA---CARISMA---CLAUDO---~

Naruto and Sasuke exited the hospital half an hour ago. My room was filled to the brim with "get better" cards, fruit, flowers, all types of things. My room still remained lifeless, there was not a soul there with me to admire my collection or enjoy it. I wanted to actually go back to school. Imagine that.

"Sasuke et Naruto est mea amici. In acerbiti, concido." Latin. The tongue of romance and deceit. I've known it for a while now. It is beautiful, better than the English language. English reminded me of an extremely disfigured doll. Bits and pieces of other cultures stuck in unequal proportions. Maybe I'm unpatriotic, maybe I'm the oddball. I don't know or care.

My eyes were heavy with exhaustion. I prepared for sleep, flipping on my side, but I was met with a sweltering pain through my left arm. My eyes shot to look at it, and I was aghast. I could see many of my tendons and muscles in my hand, even a bit of bone. I turned away before my eyes wandered further. I sighed and fell into a dreamless sleep.

---ADEO---AEDIFICIUM---BESTIA---CAMPANA---CARISMA---CLAUDO---~

"Sakura. Ms. Haruno. Wake up." I was gently shaken and I instantly shot up straight, much to my arms dismay. I moaned in pain.

"Ms. Haruno are you alright?" the concerned doctor asked. I nodded.

"Yamanaka Ino is here to see you." The doctor stepped out of the room to allow Ino to pass. She walked in slowly. I observed her. Her eyes were blood-shot and her hair was in disarray.

"Saku." She stated quietly while coming closer to my bed.

"I was worried, and I wanted to see you." I moved my feet and she sat down facing me. I grasped her hand and rubbed it gently. She seemed surprised, but she relaxed into my touch. She smiled a sad smile at me and scooted closer to me.

"I don't hate you Haruno." I was surprised to say the least. I always had thought she wanted to slaughter me, feed me to a bulldog, kill the bulldog, remove my dignity, chop it up into little pieces and serve my dignity to homeless people on the street. Her hands suddenly moved lower to my exposed thighs. My little white dress didn't serve me much purpose in that department; neither did my bed sheets I was sitting on. She was warm but cold at the same time. Her hands strolled up and down my thigh through my dress. I shivered.

"Saku, I was worried." I nodded and held her and as she leaned over me tenderly.

"I don't wanna be mean to you anymore Saku." Tears streamed down her face, and I was frustrated I couldn't wipe them away.

"Saku…" Though I couldn't talk I grasped her hand tighter.

"I…I…"

Before a word could escape her, my arm howled in agony.

"ARGH! YOU'RE SITTING ON MY ARM!!" My hoarse voice echoed throughout the room. Ino scampered of the bed, scared at my outburst. Tears moistened my cheeks, and I griped at my arm.

"I sorry Saku." Ino apologized 50 or 60 times. The pain subsided shortly, and Ino returned to her spot on the bed. Ino was crying harder, and she was lying on me. My left arm was placed far away from her body and I cradled her soothingly.

Sleep called to Ino and she rested quietly on me. I was careful not to shift as I also made my way to dreamland, dreaming of peace and bliss.

---ADEO---AEDIFICIUM---BESTIA---CAMPANA---CARISMA---CLAUDO---~

If I only remembered what time it was. If I only I could think straight. If only her body wasn't in this current position. If only I didn't have a sex drive. If only I wasn't thinking of taking advantage of her, right this very moment.

She was lying quietly. I was uncomfortable. Her legs were between mine, her head in the crook of my neck, and her hand clutching my right boob. If I moved, I would wake her up and she notices this. If I don't, my sex drive will overwhelm me and she'll wake up to a horny Sakura. Choices A and B both sound extremely wrong. She's still my rival, and I'm enjoying her body on me. God someone help me.

"Saku." She was dreaming about me. Great. Just to make things worse. AND I can't move.

"Saku, you're so sexy." Say WHAT?! I swear she must be awake. This is definitely not the time to be doing this. Why in the world are you doing this? Why in the world am I—

"You're mine now." She shifted slightly more on to my body. Oh my GRILLZ! Oh geez, oh geez. She began to kiss my neck softly, and at this point either I wake her up or suffer the consequences. I shook her slightly, and to no avail, she continued her sexual advancements. I tried again. No results. This time, in desperation, I shook violently, waking her up successfully.

"…" Oh my GRILLZ! She noticed.

"Did I do that?" she asked with a hint of worry in her voice. I nodded. I felt her grip on my breast tighten. She soared into the air, sprinted to the door and mumbled something about deodorant. I was horny, alone and tired at the same time. I hadn't eaten and I wasn't hungry. I drifted into slap happy land, dreaming of screwing Ino.

---ADEO---AEDIFICIUM---BESTIA---CAMPANA---CARISMA---CLAUDO---~

"Transplant?" I asked worried.

"Yes, I'm afraid. The hydrochloric acid is spreading throughout your body. Your liver is storing it as bile, and the acid is tearing your liver apart. We need to basically remove all your organs and replace them with another set."

"WHAT?" This couldn't be possible.

"Yes, and the major problem is that there is no way all of these organs can function together. So instead we have to inject you with something to neutralize it. As far as your hand goes, it is especially affected so we need to either install metal plates or try to neutralize it as well. I rather install metal plates."

"…"

"So sign here, and we will begin the procedure today." I signed with a shaky hand and mentally organized myself for the modus operandi.

"So how long am I stuck here?" I wondered out loud to the doctor.

"5 days longer Ms. Haruno. Your school has exams very soon, so after this one surgery and injection you will be sent off to school and you will have to inject yourself for 6 weeks with the serum."

"So I can go back?" I sat up straighter for the reply.

"Indeed. Just one more day." Dr. Boykin pulled out a long needle and tapped on it lightly. I extended my arm eagerly and the needle was injected. It stung going in but the sting subsided into a slightly, tingly feeling.

"You'll be faintly numb in that arm although only for 10 minutes or so." I nodded, excited to see everyone from school. I was slowly wheeled down the long white hall into the operation room. I was knocked out cold to swim about in the black nothingness surrounding my mind.

~----5 DAYS LATER----~

"Sakura, you're back!" TenTen squealed. I smiled sheepishly and walked into her inviting hug. Temari was nearby and pushed a gift of candy into my hands. Many people gave me flowers and small trinkets to welcome me back. I was stopped down my walk of fame however, when a emo kid and a blonde stepped into my path.

"SAKURA!" Naruto assaulted me and Sasuke smiled a sincere smile. I grinned and returned the hug. We talked and continued to walk into a room for yet another lesson in mathematics before the exams.

"Iruka-sensei."

"Sakura! How are you?"

"Fine but sore." Iruka pulled some flowers out of absolutely nowhere and shoved them in my face. My nose began to itch, and my eyes watered slightly.

"Ah, thank you—Iruk—" I paused to try to stop the sneeze, but to no avail.

"AHCHOOOO!" The flowers dispersed and Iruka stood there blank faced.

"Iruka -sensei?"

"Just sit." He commanded coldly.

"But I—"

"No. Just sit your ass down." He turned away in his fury and I simply couldn't understand the reason for his incredible wrath. He assigned us a truckload of work and I simply groaned in annoyance.

An hour passed by and the enormous ton never seemed to die. I swear he must have been pretty damn pissed with me because he wouldn't let me inject myself with my serum.

"Finish this by tomorrow. And EVERYTHING must be—DING!"

We all filed out in a hurry to escape more torture. I hurried to language arts without a word to anyone, in order to finish my day quickly. Sure enough Anko-sensei was at the front of the classroom waiting for students albeit impatiently although. Class started shortly, and the tedious task of listening was thrust upon me. It did not take long for my arm to start throbbing. I ignored it. Later it began to convulse excruciatingly.

"Anko-sensei, I need to go take my medicine." She sighed slightly annoyed with me and signaled for me to go. I left quickly as the pain intensified. I reached my locker and put in the combination. I carefully removed a filled needle from my case and injected it into my arm. My arm didn't seem to numb. I looked at it and I mentally slapped myself. I stabbed the wrong arm. Again I removed a needle and stabbed my left arm. The numbness came, but something else arrived as well. I felt like I was walking on clouds. I could barely feel the ground. I felt a bit dizzy too. Woozy, I carried myself back to class.

"Sakura. Thank God you're back. I was worried." Anko smirked in my direction.

"Awwww. No really reason to be worrin' 'bout me. I'll make it 'lright by myself."

"Are you alright?" She asked her voice full of concern. I laughed and launched myself towards her, stopping just short from her face.

"Pshh. Trust me if ya do anyone. I gots a nice purty face," I paused and learned in to whisper in her ear, "And I knows how to keep a secret too." I grinned up at her and she quirked her brow.

"Are you high or something?"

"Are ya hot or somethin'?"

"…What the hell did you do?"

"Um, hell, it sure beats me." I grinned stupidly again as she sent me away to my seat.

"Anyhow back to the subject of description and concrete comparisons." Class ran as normal yet my happiness didn't subside. Something was launched at my head and I giggled quietly.

"Sakura, what the hell is up with you? You're acting like you ate crack and smoked sugar. What DID you do?"

I could barely muster the attention to pick my pencil let alone write, so I simply looked for the note passer.

"Sakura." I sniggered at my name.

"Yarp?"

"What was I saying?" Anko glared at me silently.

"If I do so remember correctly, you were speaking of concrete and abstract descriptions and when is the right and appropriate way to use them. You were also lookin' at that there book and finding some examples that so poorly use abstract descriptions before you called on me."

"And that class concludes our lesson." Anko walked out the room and 3 seconds later the bell rang. I skipped to lunch and Naruto and Sasuke followed.

"Woah, what did you get a hold of?" I giggled and continued in my merry way. I saw someone who appealed insanely to me like no other time. Ino.

"Sakura."

"Hi hottie…I mean Ino." I grinned my cloud 9 grin and Ino cocked her head to the side in wonder.

"Um…are you alright?"

"Well since you got here, much better." She blushed, but returned to her serious mood.

"Tell me you're not high."

"Tell me you're not hot." She turned and left in a hurry and I swear I saw a purple squirrel following one of her posse members. As soon as I saw it, I crashed into reality once more. I felt all my senses and previous feelings enter me and pass through me in the form of bile.

"Sakura!" shouted Naruto. He rushed to my side and held me up while the bile exited. Sasuke was nowhere to be found and soon Ino was also by my side.

"Sakura! Breathe, breathe!" Ino barked at me. I relaxed and finally I was stable. Instead of feeling happy and bubbly as before I felt depressed and sullen. Ino and Naruto asked me question among question and I assured them I was stable enough to walk. I walked outside without anyone as lunch proceeded. I passed by my locker and backtracked to grab another needle.

I needed to feel that high again. All my troubles were gone for just that one moment. My past, my parents, my secrets, fears, and lies, were demolished in one injection. I only wanted to escape all that ailed me. In anger I punched the front door of the school with my left hand. I huge dent was created and I was surprised at my strength. I realized I had metal in my hand so I was quick to numb the pain. I quickly injected the hydrochloric acid. Again there was a numbing, but no euphoria. All that came was further frustration.

I marched to my locker only to realize the doctor only gave me 3 shots. I was almost driven into a blind rage until one unsuspecting girl came out of the lunchroom. Alone.

"Hinata." I called forcefully. She turned to look at me, but didn't recognize my fierce stare. "Hinata. Come here, now." She said nothing and slowly shuffled towards me. She was right by me and with agile speed I pressed her against the back row of lockers.

"S-saku--?!"

"No speaking. I want to only hear your pitiful cries." Her breasts were against mine and I bit her neck. Hinata groaned and I licked and nibbled on all the flesh her low cut top revealed. Already she was deep into her moans and I pulled her shirt off with little ability. I was impatient so her breasts were soon fully exposed to me and spilling onto my shirt. A pink and hardened nipple slipped into my mouth and Hinata shuddered from the new sensation. As frustrated as I was, I bit hard and scratched at her flesh.

"Saku—RA! Ugh! More!" Hinata squirmed in her arousal. I unbuttoned her tight pants and as I pulled them off the underwear followed her ankles as well.

"Sakura! Please hurry!" I obeyed Hinata's command and I again focused my attention on her breasts. I nipped and ground my teeth into the nipple and I elicited a piercing moan from Hinata.

"Mmmh. More, stop teasing!" Hinata sounded out of character and more forceful than usual. I switched to the other side and repeated the same motions. Hinata's body was quaking and again she beckoned me lower. I continued. After awhile Hinata grew tired of my teasing.

"I want you lower! NOW!" I eagerly listened to Hinata. I made my descent with ease. Hinata shook with anticipation as my tongue waited at the entrance. Slowly it wiggled its way in. Hinata nearly screamed at the sensation. I tasted the bitter yet sweet taste. I began to find my rhythm.

"OH! SAKURA! FASTER!" I increased my pace a bit and continued to try and get a feel for the rhythm Hinata required. Soon I followed the jerks of her body. Faster, quicker, harder. Hinata was aching.

"SAKURA! HARDER!" I thrust my tongue in with more force and continued to increase my speed. Shove, after shove, after a deep, hard, shove. Hinata was almost the edge.

"SAKU-RAA!" Again she called. Suddenly a creamy, white, liquid was released all over my face and clothes. Hinata was panting and my jaw began to cramp up. Hinata then looked at me and began to grab at her pants. Angered, I stopped her.

"No. My turn." Hinata seemed surprised.

"Bu-but Sakura-chan I—"

"No! You WILL stay." Tears poured down Hinata's face and again I was knocked off my feet by the rush of emotions. I was no longer angry and the depression once again sat in. Seeing no other freedom I sped in the other direction. That was the 1st day I discovered that not only was I a lesbian. No, I was addicted.

---ADEO---AEDIFICIUM---BESTIA---CAMPANA---CARISMA---CLAUDO---~

Author's Note: Everything is gonna get way more serious with Sakura's demeanor and her dealing with her addiction. This is a fill in chapter before everything gets into place to create the true antagonist and Sakura's past. I really do need constructive criticism and a way to introduce new antagonists without dropping too much info on the reader.

Sasuke et Naruto est mea amici. In acerbiti, concido.= Sasuke and Naruto are my friends. I am being destroyed by my bitterness.

modus operandi= mode of operation

Enjoy and review. This chappy in 8 pg. long like the last one however this one contains more words and less scene changes. The funny in this story will only be when Sakura is high and doing weird ass stuff. However as you've noticed the hydrochloric acid has an Ecstasy like effect and can cause weird mood swings as seen in the end of this chapter. Yeah, Ecstasy and deranged, crazy sex go hand and hand. Anyhow Sakura already is developing a tolerance for the acid, so that's why she was so pissed after she ran out of the shots.

PREVIEW:

"Sakura, what happened to you?" I saw genuine concern in her eyes but I was too sexually stimulated to really notice.

"I got horny. I want sex. That's what happened." She sighed and turned away from me and my high swiftly turned into rage.

"You will do as I say." Without hesitation I grabbed her arm and she reacted and punched me square in the jaw. My head was turned and calmly I responded,

"You'll do as I say."
