Yukina and Tanoshi were hanging with Hinata after school outside in the courtyard; the three were inseparable despite all their clashing personalities Hinata; who was sweet and quiet, Tanoshi; who was passive and normally had her nose in a book and finally Yukina she was a plain klutz everyone knew that much, but the odd thing about her was she was always so happy, of course the only person who found this odd was a certain dark haired boy.

"Yukina… hello? EARTH TO YUKINA!"

"AAAAHHHH!"

"Tanoshi! What the hell was that for?" Yukina whined covering her ear which Tanoshi had shouted in. "jeez were you spacing out again?" Tanoshi asked looking worried at her so called best friend, "you've been doing that a lot lately, have you been getting enough sleep?" "Yeah, of course I have, I've just been distracted that's all." Yukina felt a stab of guilt as she lied to her best friend, the truth was that she hadn't been feeling well at all, the nightmares kept coming back to haunt her causing her to wake up in the middle of the night and on top of that she had a major headache from lack of sleep.

"Hey girls!" all three of them turned to see Naruto and Sasuke walking up to them. "Why, hello you two baka-kuns it's so nice to see such positive homo-sexual as yourselves." Yukina greeted never missing the chance to make fun of her roommates. "I'M NOT A HOMO!" Naruto yelled "and I'm not positive." Sasuke said in his usual monotone voice, not realizing that he had given Yukina an opening, "oh! So you admit that you're a homo?" Yukina smirked. "I didn't say that!" Sasuke countered raising his voice a little "ah… but you implied it."

"Fuck you!"

"Wouldn't you like to?" Yukina's teasing comment caught Sasuke off guard so he was blushing madly everyone laughed except Hinata who was blushing as well. Being the innocent girl she is. Naruto didn't miss the chance to take a snapshot with his camera "and that's Yukina 12 Sasuke 3." He laughed. Yukina also started giggling until she felt like someone was stabbing her brain with a knife, because her headache got worse of course she only whimpered a bit hoping that nobody would notice.

"Hey um, guys I just remembered Kakashi sensei wanted me to help him with something so I gotta go." She lied and ran into the school. Her little lie had fooled most of the group except one raven haired boy who decided to follow the annoying klutz.

Yukina was panting as she walked along the school corridor leaning on the wall for support, the whole corridor was spinning and Yukina could feel her conciseness slipping as she fell to the floor the last thing she heard was someone's footsteps running up to her before closing her eyes for some much needed rest.

(a/n ha-ha bet ya' thought I was gonna leave you hanging I decided not to compliments to my pal Angel for writing the romantic stuff)

'Damn her just passing out like that…' he thought as he looked at the girl her skin was an unnatural red and her breaths were labored. He carried her to the nurse's office; she was surprisingly light considering how much she ate… Sasuke sweat dropped remembering her extreme love for food.

He slid the door open to see that the room was empty sighing he placed the girl on the nearest bed, he was about to leave when nurse Shizune walked in upon seeing Sasuke she glanced at the sleeping girl and asked what happened Sasuke had explained how he had seen her pass out in the corridor and that he had carried her here Shizune nodded and proceeded to check Yukina's temperature she explained that it was just exhaustion and that the fever would pass, Sasuke was relieved though he wouldn't admit it.

Sasuke was about to leave when, "Sasuke-kun I'm sorry but someone is going to need to look after Aizawa-Chan because I have to go to a staff meeting." Shizune said Sasuke glared back and grudgingly sat on a stool next to Yukina's bed. Shizune just smiled at the boys actions and walked out of the room.

Sasuke just sat there gazing at the sleeping girl, he didn't want to admit it but he couldn't deny the fact that she looked so beautiful sleeping peacefully the moonlight on her face; and her pale, almost white hair forming a halo around her head making her look even more angelic.

(Back in the courtyard)

Naruto sat down next to his girlfriend giving her a quick peck on the cheek making Hinata go redder than a rose, Tanoshi couldn't help but smile at the couple they were so cute even if they just started dating, Naruto may have been -no wait scratch that– is a total idiot but Hinata had been crushing on him for a long time she deserved it and Naruto turned out to be a better boyfriend than anyone expected the couple was thankful to Yukina for pushing them and supporting their relationship.

"Hey! Has anyone else noticed that Sasuke acts weird around Yukina?" Hinata and Tanoshi both sweat dropped at how dense Naruto could be. "Um… Naruto-kun didn't you notice?" Naruto just looked confusedly at his girlfriend "err; well Sasuke has a crush on Yukina."

"WHAT!"

Naruto yelled Tanoshi just slapped her face at Naruto's ignorance.

(In the sick room) (Italics means dreams or flashbacks)

'Hahaha did you really think you could run away from me, Yukina?'

Yukina whipped around trying to find the source of the voice but she was surrounded in complete darkness.

'Why can't you just leave me alone?' she screamed

'Oh, you want me to leave you alone?' that disgustingly fake sweet voice whispered.

'Have you forgotten what had happened to your brother? When you left him alone? 'the memories of her brother's burning body came crashing back, and Yukina fell to her knees sobbing into her palms.

'It was all your fault Yukina, me and your brother are dead because of you.'

'NO! STOP IT! GO AWAY! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!'

Sasuke was shocked to see tears streaming down Yukina's face, he was even more surprised when she bolted upright and jumped out of the bed to start running down the halls, the look on her face was one of pure terror. Acting on nothing but instinct he ran after the frightened girl "YUKINA!" he yelled as he grabbed onto one of her wrists and spun her around to see Yukina's eyes were squeezed shut and her palms were covering her ears, she shook her head violently screaming for something to leave her alone, after awhile she went silent and her knees buckled beneath her but she refused to open her eyes or stop covering her ears she just kept crying.

Sasuke kept a firm grip on the weeping girl's wrist she looked so scared and vulnerable, he knelt down and cradled her in his arms protectively, it honestly scared him that if he didn't hold onto her she'd just shatter, the Yukina he knew was always so damn cheerful laughing, picking fights with her smart mouth, being insanely clumsy no matter what but the Yukina in front of him now was scared, weak and vulnerable this side she's never shown to anyone, was one that needed support and protection. Slowly Yukina let her hands fall from her ears to grip Sasuke's blazer her small hands were shaking and her violet eyes gazed up at Sasuke misty with tears, "I'm sorry Sasuke-kun" she mumbled "I've caused you so much trouble." Yukina smiled, but it wasn't the everyday overly confident smile she usually wore this smile was fake and shaky and Sasuke hated it.

"Stop that." He glared Yukina tilted her head to the side trying to keep her fake mask in place, "stop trying to fake it, if you want to cry then cry, no one's going to blame you for having emotions." His words hit her like a ton of bricks, because Yukina bit her lip and buried her face back into Sasuke's warm chest allowing her body to shake with sobs; tears flowed freely from her eyes containing all the emotions she thought she had locked up.

Sasuke felt so useless all he could do was be there and watch her suffer; he leaned back so he was sitting on the floor so that she was leaning on him between his legs pressing herself closer to him almost as if trying to hide from the world in his arms. Eventually her sobs calmed down, her body stopped shaking and her breathing had become even Sasuke realized she had cried herself to sleep.

Picking her up bridal style he carried her back to the dorms Naruto was already asleep snoring soundly, Sasuke nudged the door closed and laid the sleeping girl on the bed, covering her with the bed sheet; before he climbed the ladder to his bunk he silently whispered "good night, Angel."
