So What If You Catch Me

Chapter Seven

I protect her not because I think she needs it, but because I want to.

Wednesday should have been any normal day for Sakura but it wasn't. Instead of her normal walk to the hospital. And her normal patient checking day. She spent almost the entire day… hiding. She didn't even know why she was hiding. It could have been the fact that she kept seeing Tenten around the village a lot more than normal.

Sakura looked over the edge of the trash can she had been hiding behind to find that the brunette was no longer in view. She sighed in relief before turning to walk down the back ally and then back to the hospital. "Oh Sakura!" Green eyes widened. She stood frozen in her spot. Should she run? She could run right? And then when she saw her later explain that she hadn't heard her? Sakura closed her eyes. That was a dumb idea.

Sakura laughed nervously as she turned around to meet the brunette she had just been hiding from. "Hey, Tenten."

"Hey I've been searching all over for you," Tenten smiled.

Oh no! She's been searching for me! What the hell is that supposed to mean! "Well I'm here," Sakura smiled.

Tenten laughed before walking a few steps closer to the pinkette who was having a mental break down. "I was wondering if there was any way I could buy some poisons from the hospital," Tenten said.

Poisons! Oh my god! Is she trying to kill me!

"You know for the weapon shop. I figured ninja would like to have that choice to buy poison with their weapons,"

"Oh, yeah…" Sakura laughed nervously. Get a hold of yourself Sakura! "I was just heading back to the hospital. If you want to come with me I'll get some for you."

"Thank you so much Sakura," Tenten said.

"Have a good night Moegi. If anything happens don't think twice to call," Sakura said to the orange haired girl.

"Hai Sakura-sempai. Have a good night!" Moegi called to the pinkette as Sakura walked out of the hospital and into the cold evening air. It was only six but the sun had already set and the cold was slowly coming in. Sakura sighed in relief happy that he day was finally over and early too. She walked briskly to the house she shared with Naruto. Pushing open the door she was happy when she was welcomed by the warmth of their awesome heater.

Her good mood instantly vanished when she realized Naruto had guests. More importantly. Sasuke. So much for a good day. She sighed as she hung her keys up at the door. Slipping off her shoes and medical coat she walked further into the house. She found the two boys laughing over something. The coffee table covered in empty beer bottles.

"Hey Sakura-chan!" Naruto smiled. Sasuke turned to look at her.

"Hey Sakura-pyon," he smiled. Sakura rolled her eyes. So much for a relaxing bath.

"Hey… you do know it's only six?" she said, pointing to all the beer bottles.

"Yeah yeah yeah, but it's already dark out!" Naruto exclaimed. "Besides. We just sent Sai to get more beer. You want to join?"

Sakura sighed. Fuck it. She needed a beer. She smiled before popping down on Naruto's lap and stealing his beer while he was confused. She slide off his lap and on to the couch, her legs still draped over his lap. Sakura brought the beer bottle up to her lips before downing the rest in one gulp. That was another thing Sakura had picked up from her Shishou. Her drinking abilities.

"Rough day?" Naruto asked. Sakura nodded before laying back on the couch.

"You could say that," She mumbled. Just then the door opened and Sai walked in with a large case of beer.

"Took you long enough," Sasuke said.

"I am not sorry," Sai said. Causing Sakura and Naruto to bust out into a laugh. Sai walked around the coffee table and sat down next to Sakura. "Hag?" Sai said pulling out a beer. Sakura held her hand up and took the beer. "Dickless?" Naruto held his hand out and took his beer. "Faggot?"

Naruto and Sakura busted out into another fit of giggles while Sasuke glared at Sai and took his beer. "Dick," Sasuke mumbled opening his beer.

"I'm the only one in this team who has one," Sai countered causing Naruto and Sakura to bust out into another fit of giggle only for Naruto to stop.

"Wait…" the blonde said looking very serious. "I have a dick!" Naruto yelled. Sakura laughed so hard she fell of the couch.

"I needed this," she said rubbing away the tears that formed in her eyes. "I'm gonna go change," she mumbled before standing up taking her beer bottle with her. She walked down the hallway and up the stairs to her bedroom. She needed to get out of this awful work uniform and into normal people clothes. What she really needed was to get out of this damn bra!

She unhooked her bra the second she got into the room. She slid it out from under her shirt before moving to her closest. She set her beer bottle on the dresser. She fumbled with her pants before they dropped to the floor. She grabbed a long sleeved shirt and changed out of her work clothes finally getting the smell of the hospital away from her. She walked to her dresser and grabbed a pair of black leggings. After that was on she grabbed a tan pair of shorts and put them on.

She stood up and let her long hair fall out of her bun. She was about to turn around when warm arms wrapped around her waist causing her to jump. She spun around and slammed her back into her dresser. Her beer knocking over the side and falling the ground. Her eyes widened when wet lips pressed against hers.

Gathering some chakra into her hand she pushed Sasuke away from her knocking him backward. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" Sakura yelled. Sasuke stood up and gripped his abdomen. With the amount of force she used she had to at least broken a rib or two.

"I told you I wasn't giving up," he said moving towards her. She looked to her bedroom door hoping that Naruto would choose now to be the time he needed to use the bathroom. But found she was really all alone in her bedroom with Sasuke.

"Sasuke, please. Knock this off. I don't want to have to hurt you," she said as he walked closer to her as if she was his pray and he was the hunter. She let out a gasp when her feet were knocked out from under her. She looked out to find that Sasuke had made a bushin. What the hell was he doing?

Sakura let out a surprised gasp when her arms were forcibly held above her head. She moved to push him off but found she could direct her chakra into her hands anymore. She looked at him surprised and he smirked at her before bending down to kiss her. She shook her head trying to force him away. Her eyes widened when she felt the button of her shorts come undone.

"Sasuke stop this!" she growled.

"I love you Sakura, why can't you see that?" Sasuke whispered as he kissed the bare skin of her stomach. Sakura thrashed her body but Sasuke held her down. Her eyes drooped slightly. He had really drained her chakra. She felt her shorts being tugged down and she closed her eyes. She couldn't fight back anymore. She was losing…

All of a sudden she felt Sasuke's body whipped off of her. She heard a loud crash. She wanted to open her eyes to see what was going on. She could bring herself too.

Sasuke's body was pressed up against the broken glass of Sakura's full body mirror. He glared at his captor his sharingan blaring.

Pale lavender eyes glared at him. Neji tightened his grip around the boys neck until Sasuke let out a chocking noise. Neji let go and let Sasuke slip to the glass covered floor. In the door way Naruto stood staring shocked at the scene in front of him. Sai was glaring at Sasuke. Neji turned away from Sasuke, he undid his metal ANBU flak jacket before dropping it to the floor. He moved to Sakura's side. Bending down he checked her breathing.

"Sakura," he whispered. Sakura moaned in response unable to form a sentence. "Are you okay?"

"Neji?"
