man-chan- Kind of what I was aiming for, thanks :)

Kashi'sMine- Happy belated Birthday!

Similar Hues- He'll get one, don't worry.

fingring- Welcome :) I think this might be a fairly long story, seeing as it took me 12 chapters to describe 1 week. It's going to be a bit until the bad guys are 'revealed'.

Me: What are the chances I might ever own Naruto?

Lawyer: Zero

Me: But what if-

Lawyer: No

Me: Or I could-

Lawyer: Not going to happen.

Me: Well you heard the bloodsucking leech…I mean lawyer.

"Hey."

"What do you want?" I ask perturbed .

It's Thursday, fourth hour, and I'm tired as hell. The night before Ino and I went after a man who beat his wife to death in front of their two children. It was gruesome.

"I want to tell you that my mother is inviting you and your family over for dinner tomorrow night."

"Great. I could have found that out when I got home."

He leans in and puts his mouth right by my ear.

"Try not to knock any holes through the walls." He whispers.

This takes me by surprise.

"H-how do you know what I can do?" I whisper back.

"Naruto."

"You've known what I can do and yet still decided to mess with me? I don't know if your stupid or insane."

"It's fun seeing you struggle to keep control."

"You bastard." My insult goes unheard as the bell rings signaling lunch.

He leaves and I follow him, like predator stalking prey.

He takes a shortcut down an empty hall and up a deserted stairwell. That's when I make my move.

"Hey Sasuke." He turns around and I strike, pinning him against the wall. My hand is placed firmly on his chest.

"You should have just left me alone, I was ignoring you for both our benefits. I've had more than my fair share of dealing with people like you. My pain shouldn't bring you amusement. I like being the good guy, I really do, but so help me, if you push me any further I don't think you're going to survive in one piece. Do you understand?"

He should be trembling, scared beyond all reason, but he's smirking at me.

"Bring it." He says mockingly.

My rage takes over, it doesn't even feel like I'm the one controlling my actions.

"What do you want broken first Sasuke? Your wrist, a rib, your face?"

"Sakura what are you doing?" Ino voice rings out and forces me to get a hold of myself.

Ino walks up the stairs and lays her hand on my arm.

"Sakura stop."

I let go of Sasuke and feel a bit triumphant when he gasps for air.

"Nice try Pin-" Is all he gets out when BAM, Ino hits him in the face.

"You need to leave her alone. Or you'll have a lot more problems to deal with next time." She threatens, defending me.

Then she wraps her arm around mine and drags me up the stairs.

Did that really just happen?

We arrive in the cafeteria and take a seat next to a sleeping Shikamaru.

"Do you want to explain to me what just happened?" She asks.

"Not really." I answer truthfully.

"Okay, let me put it this way. Tell me why I just had to stop you from possibly dismembering Sasuke Uchiha so I can make a defense for myself incase I get called to the office."

Oh sure. I can't make her feel guilty but she can make me.

I see Shikamaru raise his head a little.

"I don't know why. I was just going to tell him to leave me alone, but it turned into, well that. I wasn't going to dismember him, just so you know."

"I think the lack of sleep is getting to you."

"No, I'm fine."

"Sakura I think she's right." Shika adds.

"No. I'm perfectly fine." I stress each word.

"Be that as it may, I'm taking you off duty for a week."

I look at him horrified.

"You can't do that. The city needs me." I plead.

"I'm sorry."

"Don't do this."

"This is for your best interests."

My sense of helplessness turns into anger and betrayal.

"Whatever." I get up and walk away.

"Sakura." Ino calls. I ignore her.

School seems to drag on. My haven now feels like a prison, but even when the final bell rings I feel no relief.

I avoid the parking lot and begin walking home. When it seems nothing else can go wrong it starts to rain.

Thanks God! I hate you too.

While I'm walking a ping is heard in my ear.

"Call from Ino Yamanaka." A feminine robotic voice announces.

"Reject."

This happens several more times.

I finally get home and am soaked to the bone.

"Sakura is that you?" Mom's voice calls when I get into the house.

"Yeah."

"Where have you been? You're-. Why are you all wet?" She finally gets a look at me.

"I walked."

"Why? Is Ino okay? What happened?"

"Ino's fine and I don't want to talk about it."

"But-"

"Please Mom? It's been a long day. I just want to take a shower and go to bed."

She doesn't say anything for a moment.

"Okay, but we will talk about this later."

I nod and go to my room.

*Ping*

"Call from Ino Yamanaka."

I take the device out and fling it across the room.

Teenage Angst, it was going to happen sometime. Oh, and Sasuke got hit in the face lol.
