Sasuke had avoided Sakura the whole day yesterday on purpose. It was true he needed Sakura…but he needed her to come to him if he would be able to use her. Today he would make a move…he would ask her to do something and hopefully she would do it without asking a lot of questions. As Sasuke looked in the mirror before he left he noticed how baggy his eyes had really gotten. They had always been a little puffy, but now there was a light shade of purple under his eyes.

At this rate I just might pass out during the day…If this lack of sleep continues it might affect me deeper than it already has.

He had already tried various sleeping pills; none of them had even come close to working. He ran his fingers through his night black hair, "This really sucks." He left his apartment and dizzily stumbled towards his car.

As Sasuke drove towards the school…half asleep…he all of a sudden saw someone standing in the middle of the road. He slammed on his breaks; luckily there had been no one behind him. He honked his horn; the person in front of him wasn't moving. He rubbed his eyes. He was able to decipher a young girl with hair as dark as his own…but hers was much messier…she still refused to move.

Sasuke got out of the car and approached the girl in a fuss, "What the hell is wrong with you?!"

"Oh…Sasuke…Would you mind giving me a ride?"

Sasuke was bewildered that she knew his name…he had never seen her before in his seventeen year old life, "How do you…"

"Please…a ride would be nice Sasuke!"

She skipped to his car and sat herself down in the passenger's seat leaving Sasuke there looking like a fool. He sighed and made his way back to the car.

"Who the fuck are you anyway?" Sasuke said as he started to drive.

"Hee hee my name is Ren."

Cold…That's what her name meant. Strange would have suited her a lot better. She had barely any clothes on and looked like a wild dog had attacked her.

"Hey Sasuke…You're really really really really tired aren't you?"

Sasuke smirked, "Hn."

Ren laughed.

"Where exactly am I taking you Ren?" He had to admit this was all definitely awkward.

"The lemonade store."

Sakura stumbled through the hallways…she hadn't slept at all again.

Dammit what the hell is going on? I thought this year was gonna be a breeze and I feel like hell.

Sakura coughed…Was she getting sick too? Naruto put his hand on her shoulder, "Sakura you look like shit."

Sakura exaggerated a jump at the sudden touch, "You fucking scared me!"

"Geez Sakura calm down!"

Sakura took a deep breath, "Sorry Naruto."

"Is everything alright?" the confused blonde (what a surprise) asked.

Sakura hugged her arm and shivered, "I'm cold."

"I think you should go to the nurse Sakura."

Sakura leaned against a locker, "I'm okay…"

Her eyes fluttered open and shut, open and shut…open…shut…The last thing she heard was Naruto yelling her name…and then the numbers…nine…one…one…

It was raining…really hard…the drops sounded more like bombs as they hit the cement ground. Sasuke rushed through the hospital doors. He had heard the news about Sakura suddenly collapsing right before school was suppose to start. He needed to know what had happened to her…He was slightly irritated because he couldn't ask her to perform the task he had planned for her that day, but he would just have to wait. Luckily he was a patient person.

When he entered the main lounge he noticed Naruto checking out. He seemed normal enough, but he couldn't tell if he was just holding it in or anything else…Sasuke hid behind a corner as Naruto left. He didn't want to deal with Naruto right now. As Naruto walked out Sasuke saw him turn to his left; he looked like he was staring at something…but what? Naruto turned forward…slouched his shoulders and continued walking through the pouring rain.

"Haruno Sakura." Sasuke said to the receptionist.

"Room 609…on the sixth floor obviously." She said as she shooed him away.

"Thanks."

He rushed to the room that the annoyed receptionist had stated and slowly opened the door, "Sakura?"

The pink haired girl looked over to him, "Sasuke? Hm…Good to see you."

He sat in the chair that was placed beside her bed. Her school uniform was hanging on the wall to his right and she was wearing a hospital gown.

"Sasuke about yesterday…About Naruto…"

He pushed a lock of luscious pink hair behind her ear, "Don't worry about it."

Her face flushed red like it always did…he smirked lightly….not wanting to fluster her anymore then he needed too…but he had to admit it was kind of fun. He stroked her cheek, "But if you fail that history project that's not my fault."

She laughed, "Don't worry I wont."

As he pulled his hand away from her face he saw a look of longing in her eyes…Perfect.

Why did he have such a strong pull on her? Every time she saw him she wanted him to stay with her longer every time. But then she thought about Naruto.

Naruto hates him so much…but I don't yet Naruto is the one that knows me best and he looks at Sasuke with such detest?

"Sorry Sakura I have to go." She suddenly heard the handsome raven hair say.

"No…"She heard herself whisper.

Sasuke had obviously seen her lips mouth that little word. He grabbed her hand and licked the small drop of blood that had erupted from her thumb.

"Why do you do that Sasuke?" Sakura whispered.

"Is it wrong?"

She shook her head slowly.

"We are friends right Sakura? Friends don't like to see each other bleed."

She nodded this time.

"So quiet today…that sickness has really gotten to you."

She smiled brightly, "Do I talk a lot?"

"When you want too."

He let go of her hand and Sakura felt sad.

"Bye." That was all he said before he left her hospital room.

He said he was my friend. Having a friend like him is almost thrilling…But if I want more…But I cant want more…friends are friends and only friends…I wish…Hee hee I guess with him if he ever gets a paper cut or something I can lick it…tee hee, how does he do that and not feel weird?

She heard her door open and turned her head to see someone closing it. Was someone…?

"Sakura…"

Sakura jumped and turned to her left, "Oh my god, Ren you scared me!"

She was dripping from head to toe with water. She smiled through the black hair that stuck to her face. Her t-shirt plastered against her small and frail body and her bare feet covered in mud made her look stranger than usual. How did they even let her in the hospital?

"Sakura are you okay?"

"Yeah I don't know what happened…I haven't been sleeping well for a couple days and then I just got really sick. It is winter you know?" Sakura laughed.

"That guy who was in here before," she was totally ignoring Sakura's response, "he's more tired than you. He seems to be on the verge of collapsing."

She must have been talking about Sasuke, "Do you mean Sa…"

"Yeah I mean Sasuke."

How does this child know her friends? Sakura even remembered when she brought up Naruto, "Ren just how do you…"

"I'm glad you're okay Sakura, but I have to go now."

The next thing she knew Ren was on the windowsill. Sakura sprang out of her hospital bed and was standing at the window. Ren had jumped off and her body was lying lifeless on the cement ground in the rain. Sakura put her hand over her mouth. She was about to cry; that is until Ren got back up on her feet. Ren walked down the street like nothing had happened. Sakura felt like she was gonna puke. She felt her stomach turn in all directions and stumbled until she found her bed. She could feel the vomit coming up her throat. Her breathing was speeding up. She pulled the nearest trash can towards her and let it out. The breathing wasn't slowing down though. What she had just witnessed made her even sicker.

Endlessly Sasuke wondered how Sakura could have just fallen ill so suddenly. There was just something wrong about that. The rain wasn't bothering him. He had walked to the hospital…he wasn't sure why he did…it was something that came to mind; plus it kept him awake. He looked to his left and people were staring at him through the store window for he was the only one on the sidewalk strolling through the heavy deluge. He ignored them and continued walking; he was also doing his best to ignore the various sounds the rain made against all the different surfaces around him. He closed his eyes for a moment…forgetting everything….that is until his head footsteps in front of him through the pouring rain. It was Ren…the eye that was showing was dripping blood from the corner, her right elbow looked like it was disjointed, her lip torn on the left side and her head was tilted to one side as she smiled and stared at him, "Sasuke."

"What do you want?"

"Don't be so mean."

"I'm not; that was only a question."

She grabbed her right elbow and Sasuke heard a loud crack as she pushed it back into the joint. Sasuke gritted his teeth…something like that must of caused unbelievable pain but this girl's smile never faded. Ren giggled, "That must have appeared gross I suppose?"

Sasuke only frowned and a word didn't escape his lips.

"Don't be so silent. I just visited Sakura and she's tired like you."

Sakura? This girl knows Sakura and knows I've been with her? Who the fuck is this girl? And why does she seem to have such a keen interest in me?

Ren's sudden laughter surprised Sasuke for it was the only thing he could hear…compared to the bombing drops her laughter was like the entire earth exploding…whatever that sounded like…

"Sasuke! What is that girl to you! A tool I presume! You want to use that little bitch!? What happens when you're done with her? What happens if she figures out inside you're a cold blooded killer?! Will you kill her too...WILL YOU KILL HER WILL YOU KILL HER WILL YOU KILL HER WILL YOU KILL HER!?"

She continued with her hysterical laughter and held her stomach, "Funny funny funny…you idiot…"

"How the fuck do you know all of this!? You better tell me or you will be the first to die!"

"YEAH RIGHT! ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO START A CYCLE OF DEATH!? YOU'LL END UP JUST LIKE THE BASTARD YOU ARE TRYING TO KILL!"

Sasuke clenched his fist and stared at the ground. A drop form his deep black bangs hit the ground in front of him…it was the loudest of the billions that fell around him at that very second.

"Just shut up…Leave now…just go…"

Ren's yelling was suppressed to a whisper that was barely audible…but to Sasuke it was like she was screaming, "That's what I thought you fool."

Sasuke said nothing as Ren left. He just stared at the ground.

Am I a fool…I think I'm so smart and brave for doing the things I force myself to do…but now I'm not so sure.

Sakura was let out of the hospital two whole days later…she was completely in shock.

It's not possible for someone to survive that fall…What is Ren?

She stumbled out of the hospital…the last two nights…sleepless.

Right now she wanted to cry again like she did the past two nights…Sasuke had not come to visit her and neither had Ren. Being honest to herself…she was scared.

Naruto was waiting for her in the waiting room…he had skipped the first half of school to come get her. She wanted to go to school; it was the best way to distract her. Naruto rushed to her side, "Are you sure you're feeling alright?"

She saw the sincere worry ness in his bright blue eyes.

"Yeah…a little woozy…but I'm all good."

Naruto looked at her unconvinced, "Sakura…"

"Naruto just chill ok."

Sakura wasn't sure if she could chill right now.

At school Sakura looked around for Sasuke hoping she could feel a little better around him anyway…she didn't see him anywhere. She wanted to ask someone if he was absent but thought that might be a little weird.

As the day ended and she was leaving school grounds she remembered Ren and was scared that she might be waiting for her. She wasn't though. Sakura wanted to ask Ren so many questions but then realized Ren wasn't one to answer questions anyway. Sakura wanted to walk home again that day. Ino respected her decision, even though Sakura could tell she was concerned. Everyone at school that day seemed concerned. She must have said the word 'fine' like a million times that long day.

Sasuke's head was buried in his pillow. He was thinking of what Ren had said to him. He had been thinking about it for the last few days…skipping school was no big deal. Besides…if Sakura was there he didn't want to see her. He didn't really give a fuck about her feelings…just a key…that's it…that's all…all it will forever be. But when Ren mentioned that he might have to kill her if things turned to worse it somewhat worried him. That was bothering him…and the other part was that he did care when he shouldn't.

He slowly got out of bed and looked at the mirror above his dresser. He didn't see himself he saw Ren…must have been his drowsiness. She was laughing in the reflection and had her hand against the glass as she mocked him. He punched the glass…shattered glass mixed with Uchiha blood. He kept is fist on the mirror and pushed into it the glass digging into his knuckles. The pain didn't matter…it was like a stimulant. He watched as a single drop fell from his knuckle…it was as loud as the drop that had fallen from his soaked hair days before….that loud sound that rung in his ears until twilight.
