Oh for the last and upcoming chapters, some of the material I used/use I didn't create. I don't own Naruto, I just like to think I do.

Sakura sneezed her usual quiet cute sneeze and rubbed her nose a little.

"Hm, someone must be talking about me." She said on her way home. She opened the door and peeked her head in to see if anyone was there. It was just Koji sitting on the couch listening to his hard core music. She walked over to the couch and sat next to him.

"Hey Ne-san!" she shouted so that he can hear her.

He turned off his music and said "Hullah, little chicken" in the funny voice that made her laugh.

He loved to make her laugh. It was the only real smiles that he saw from her. He started making more jokes, just old ones that most people have heard and she kept laughing. But right then, Father came in and saw Koji making her laugh. He swayed over to Koji because he was drunk, again.

"You listen boy! If I can't make her laugh, than neither can you!" he shouted and grabbed Koji by his collar. He started beating him over and over again right in front of Sakura. Then, she supposedly got in his way and he took her head and slammed it into the wall. She screamed but then fell unconscious and lay on the floor with a pool of blood getting bigger around her.Koji gasped at what Father had doneand tried to help her, but Father kicked him in the stomach. Mother walked in and saw Koji laying on the ground. At first, she wasn't too mad at Father, but then she Sakura. Her eyes got all wide and teary, and then they filled with anger.

"What the hell do you think you've done?! You've gone way to far this time! She needs to get to a hospital!" she shouted.

"Don't you dare tell me what to do!" he shouted and slapped her across the face making it red. This time he was taking it out on her. He was a really nice person when he wasn't drunk, but when he is drunk, I think you get the picture.

Father stormed out of the house, leaving Mother crying, Sakura unconscious, and Koji pretty beat up. Koji help Mother bandage Sakura's head in cloth, then left her in her room on her bed to rest.

-------Later---------

Koji went over to his friend's house because he needed some one to talk to.

"Hey, what's up Koji!" his friend shouted when he opened the door.

"Hey Kankurou….." Koji said in a depressed voice.

"Hey, what's wrong? Did something happen" Kankurou asked once they were inside.

Koji looked up at him and said "I was just making my little sister laugh, then my father came in and got mad because he could never get her to laugh, and……" his voice got all shakey and he took his hands and started to grab his hair(like some guys do when they're freaked out).

"And what?" Kankurou asked.

"And then, he started to beat the crap outta me, the she got in the way and he took her head and slammed it into the wall. If it was my head it would have been okay, but he used hers….If it was me…" Koji was trying to be a man and tried his best not to start crying.

"Dude, is she okay?" Kankurou asked in concern.

"I dunno…I hope so.." He said

"Okay well, I hope that your little sis gets better" Kankurou told him, trying to make him feel better (yes, he doesn't know that his new friend's lil sis is Sakura)

"Thanks…" Koji said and then left back to his house.

----------House!!!-----------

Sakura woke up to see the good healing care that had been given to her. Her father was nice, he really is. It's just when he gets drunk, he goes to his bad side. Sakura and everyone else hated that side of him. They loved the happy, caring Father that they once knew.

"Sakura-chan! I'm so glad that your awake!" her mother shouted, hugging Sakura which knocked off her glasses (her mum's glasses).

"Its okay Mum, I feel fine." Sakura told her.

"Really?! Then lets go somewhere today, I wanna make it up to you!" her mother shouted.

Sakura got dressed in mini shorts/jeans and a green t-shirt with glasses with tape wrapped around the middle saying "talk nerdy to me." Her mum was wearing a white long sleeves t-shirt with plain white pants. They would of token Koji too, but he still hadn't come back yet.

Mum: OO

"What?" Sakura questioned.

"Look at it! Isn't it beautiful?!" her mother shouted, pointing at gorgeous pink kimono.

"That's beautiful Mum! You should get it!" Sakura shouted.

I would Sakura-cha, but I'm afraid that it's out of our price range…" her mum said.

"Hmmm, here" Sakura gave her mother money, enough for her to combine what she had to get it.

"But Sakura, this is your savings. I would feel guilty." Her mum said, teary eyed (very dramatic family)

"Just think of it as an early birthday present!" she told her. Her mother than gave her a huge hug and they bought it then went home.

Koji: First: OO then: TT

"Where have you two been?! I was worried sick!" he shouted.

Sakura and Mum looked at each other than said "Oh, we were just shopping."

Koji: -.-

"well, was is it anything I would like?" he asked.

"Well that depends……Do you want me to get one for your birthday too?" Sakura joked, showing him the kimono.

He sighed and went back up to his room.

"No thanks, pink clashes with my hair (not, its black)"
