Chapter 21 (make up for lateness)
This chapter is my story's one year anniversary chapter! I know its late but I spend my week off to do this chapter even on my birthday. This chapter will cover about 3 of my normal chapter lengths. …. 12 574 words (14 pages)
I had written this one in my sep break and its already November and I still have not updated it yet. Gomen. Ive been busy with my future. I haven't read any of my fav stories for a while and neither have I had great sleep. This semester is hell. The subjects are hard and the classes long. The tests never stop. This is what you get when you study something hard at University. But I will get through this and I will follow my dream. Naruto is my inspiration for never giving up eventhough I have no chance for winning. ^_^
This is the second last one of my story. The next one is the ending. If I have time I'll write the sequel it will be called Love can make or break you again or something like that.
"When it involves Sakura, then yes" Gaara replied. Sasuke turned around not letting Sakura out of his grip. The hold on her, forced Sakura to turn around with Sasuke, facing Gaara.
"Ah, even when I do this" Sasuke leaned closer to Sakura, pressing her tighter to his body. He opened his mouth and extended his tongue, licking the tip of her ear. Sakura let out a whimper as she felt the wet and warm muscle run over her ear. She was scared of Sasuke. Never in her life has she thought Sasuke would do this kind of thing.
"Let her go, Sasuke" Gaara stepped forward. Deep within him he felt his heart beat faster as he watched Sasuke lick Sakura. Her scared whimper nearly drove him over the edge.
"What, Jealous Sabaku?" Sasuke tilted his head to the side. He let his hands run up and down Sakura's chest. His hands lingered over her breasts, doing a swirl motion.
"Let….go…S…Sasuke" Sakura panicked. She wanted to be away from his grip as fast as possible. She tried to struggle from his grip, causing him to give out a small chuckle. His grip tightened around her, hurting her.
"She's mine Sabaku." Sasuke's cold eyes were locked with Gaara's. "You will never take her away from me." Sasuke tightened his grip on her even more making her whine.
"She doesn't want to be with you. She doesn't even love you" Gaara didn't move from his spot. His eyes were locked with Sasuke's. His heart felt like it was going to burst out of his heart.
"I'll make her love me" Sasuke simply smirked.
"Love, cant be forced" Gaara replied still not moving but his eyes turned even colder at the thought of forced love, love that is not real. He had endured enough of that so called love from his father. There is no worse feeling than someone pretending to care about you.
"What does a delinquent like you know about love?" Sasuke drawled out lazily as he shifted his head towards Sakura's exposed shoulder. He slowly and jet painfully on Sakura's part, dragged his tongue from her shoulder to her neck. He kissed her neck slowly while his eyes looked up at Gaara.
"Take your arms off her or I'll rip them off my self." Gaara growled. His body was shaking with so much rage that he could barely stand. He felt hate so strong in his life that would make most sinners feel scared but that was nothing compared to the hate that filled in his heart after he watched Sasuke lick and kiss Sakura's neck. His hands were balled up in fists in such a string grip that his nails dug deeply into his skin, bathing his hands in the red liquid. His eyes were voided of emotion and so cold that it made a chill run up Sasuke's side.
"I want to see you try" Sasuke smirked, covering up the fear he felt pull at his heart. Never in his life have he ever felt so much hate flow out of someone. It was frightening for him for he felt that he would die. He gripped Sakura tighter in an attempt to stop his shaking. Sakura cringed at the pain.
Gaara snapped. He moved so fast towards Sasuke that the boy barely had time to block himself from the monster that came at him with eyes filled with bloodlust. He had to push Sakura away. He needed both of his hands to fend off the monster that came at him with fangs bared.
"Attacking from the back now Sabaku" Sasuke hissed as he pushed himself from Gaara. He had to talk to keep the fear from invading his heart. Those eyes that glared at him made his heart beat faster, his body shaking and his hands sweaty. "I never thought you'd stoop so low"
"I never thought you'd forced yourself on girls. " Gaara hissed with a voice so low and angry it sounded like a demon had possessed him. There was no sign of any life in that voice. Sasuke had to dodge to the right as Gaara came at him again. He had to kick Gaara away from him since he would have killed him with the forced of the punched that he threw. Sasuke could not let that hands touch him.
"I just want to take back my flower that left me" Sasuke hissed dodging another attack from the monster. The monster side stepped towards Sasuke barely giving him time to react.
"You threw her away!" Gaara screamed. He was losing himself and he knew it but he could not stop the rage that was flowing from his heart. He really wanted to kill Sasuke.
"So what if I did? She's still mine if she wants it or not." Sasuke replied jumping over tables in attempt to get away from the monster that wanted his blood.
"You're the fucked up one in the family not, Itachi" Sakura cried. She was standing in the corner of the classroom. Sasuke stood close to her while Gaara stood on the other side of the room. Sakura was scared. Gaara looked so scary that she felt scared to come near him and she even held a little bit of fear for Sasuke who was going up against the demonic Gaara. Sasuke was walking over to Sakura as she was busy thinking.
"Shut up, bitch!" Sasuke turned towards her. He brought up his right hand and punched her with all the hate he felt for his brother. The force of the punch threw her back; blood flew out of her mouth as she fell. She hit the cold hard floor with a loud sound. Filled with so much hate Sasuke kicked her. "Don't ever compare me to him!" He kicked her again and again even though she had lost consciousness.
"Son of a…" Gaara hissed. He ran through the desks, pushing them away. Sasuke didn't even notice Gaara was approaching until it was too late. Gaara tackled him to the floor. Gaara held him by shirt as he punched him in the stomach causing the young boy to spew out blood. Gaara couldn't stop as he kept on hitting the boy repeatedly. Before Gaara could continue his beating, he was pulled of the raven haired boy.
"Gaara calm down!" Kakashi screamed as he pulled the boy further away. Gaara tried to listen but he couldn't, his rage and anger was too much that it even took over his body. Asuma grabbed Gaara when he saw that Kakashi couldn't hold on longer to the raging boy. Genma walked over to Sakura who lay on the floor a few feet away from Gaara. Gaara screamed, trying to rid himself from the ones holding him away from his prey. He looked to the side where he saw movement. His eyes stopped at the person who was kneeling next to someone on the floor. Pink hair was spread all over the floor and her face with blood all around her. All of Gaara's hatred and anger subsided as his body went limp as realization hit him.
"Sakura" he whispered. He pulled away from Kakashi and Asuma, crawling over to Sakura. Genma backed away when he saw the glare that the boy was giving him. Gaara gently he picked her up, holding her close to him. He was trying to shield her from everything in the room.
"Gaara come with me we need to take her ……. And Sasuke to the hospital." Kakashi whispered softly to the boy. He walked over to the classroom door to motion to him but he sat there, holding tight onto her. "She needs help Gaara" to the door. Gaara raised his head, green eyes locking with dark eyes. Slowly Gaara stood up, carefully holding Sakura in an attempt not to hurt her even more. 'It's a good thing I brought my car today" Kakashi thought to himself.
Asuma was next to the bloody and unconscious Sasuke. He bend down and carefully picked him up. He was no doctor but he suspected that he had some serious wounds. His bones were probably not broken for they came before Gaara could continue. Carrying Sasuke bridle style Asuma followed behind Gaara in a distance.
~ Hospital ~
Two people stood in the hall silently. The busy one of the two was busy reading a note clip. Her brown eyes looked over the details while the old nurse next to her kept quite. The note clip had the patient's name, a list of her status, room number and even past visits to the hospital.
Tsunade sigh as she handed the clip over to Chiyo. 'Why is it that Sakura always have to end up here? Haven't that girl had enough?' She thought with a sad facial expression. She was called down to the hospital after Genma came over to her office and told her about what had happened.
"I got a report from Kakashi that she was beaten up by Sasuke…." Chiyo started.
"Genma had told me that Sakura was in the hospital. I didn't listen to the rest of the details before I rushed over here" her hand was clenched in a fist. "Sasuke" She hissed "That little fuck I am going to knock in into the next century" Tsunade growled.
"Well you can't" Chiyo stated.
"Eh" Tsunade blinked, looking over at the old nurse.
"He's recovering in the room at the end of the hall. Some guy named Gaara attacked him to protect Sakura. Sasuke is pretty beaten up. He doesn't have any broken bones but he took huge damage to his organs."
'I'm glad that he was there' Tsunade smiled to herself. 'I knew that Sasuke would be abusive in a matter of time' she frowned. Shaking her head to rid her of all these thoughts Tsunade changed the subject. "How is Sakura?" She asked.
"Stable" Chiyo answered "She wasn't hurt as bad as we are use too. The most of the damage is to her chest and to her arms as she tried to protect herself. If Sasuke wasn't stopped it would have been a lot worse. By the condition of bruises it can be concluded that they were made with rage."
"I'm going to see her" Tsunade walked past Chiyo. Sakura's room was on the other side of the hall than Sasuke's. She walked over to the door, Chiyo was telling her not to go in since Sakura was sleeping but she didn't listen, she kept proceeding to the room. She slowly pushed it open. Her eyes caught red and she stopped. Gaara sat next to Sakura's bed. He was staring out of the window with an emotionless expression on his face; he was wearing one of the hospitals white straight jackets. Chains went around him and the chair that he sat in, restraining him to the seat and to the room.
"He's been sitting there the whole time since Sakura was brought to the room. We had to restrain him" She sighted looking down the hall "He tried going to Sasuke's room and succeeded the first time before we realized that he vanished. Kakashi thankfully dragged him back here and we had to restrain him from trying again." Chiyo sighted. "Kakashi told us to leave him in the room even though we wanted to send him to a holding room."
"Yes leave him here" Tsunade whispered, she turned away from the door, closing it behind her. "I'll rather have him here to protect her than leave her alone in the room. I trust him with her"
"Come with me, I'll buy you some coffee to calm you down" Chiyo said. The two of the walked down the hall to the cafeteria
Gaara's gaze went to the door after it closed. He didn't matter who came in the room but if they get close to Sakura he will kill them even if he had to break free from the restraints. Sakura's gentle breathing kept him calm. Kakashi had told him that she was okay and will wake up after some rest so he just had to wait for her.
Chiyo sat at her desk as Tsunade sat her cup down on the table. "Do you know Gaara? " Tsunade asked looking at Chiyo.
"Yes. He's my grandson. I left with Sasori after Sasori and my son in law got into a huge fight" Chiyo answered taking a sip from her cup. "You do know that Gaara has a medical history right?" Chiyo asked scratching her head "He was send here from Suna Psycatric a few days after you finished your job there and Sakura had to quit hers since she started high school."
"I knew about that" Tsunade sighted. She drank a few sips from her coffee. "I didn't know he was your grandson though. You never did talk a lot about your family in Suna. The only person you ever talked about was Sasori."
"You knew about his medical history, How?" Chiyo asked surprised. She knew that Gaara, Temari and Kankuro was good children but what kind of principal in their right mind would accept a student with a background like his. He was a good child but he was really unstable. He could snap and kill someone like he almost killed Sasuke. In the past at Suna Sasori always had to look after him but they never knew he had a mental condition.
"When he and his siblings registered at the school I was notified of his past beforehand by a very trusting source that's all. " Tsunade simply stated almost making Chiyo almost choke on her coffee.
"Why did you let him in then? Gaara is very unstable. He can snap and kill someone. I know he's my grandson and I love him but I really don't want him to be thrown into jail or into a room for the rest of his life. That child needs a life." She complained. She was only a bit surprised that he was taken in but Tsunade made sure that all the new students had great backgrounds since she did not want anyone dangerous around her Sakura even though after she got the job of principal at Konah high she let Itachi and his whole gang in.
"I know." Tsunade took a sip from her coffee "Itachi Uchiha came to my office and told me that he was someone that he trusted. I know that Sakura trusts Itachi so I trust him too." She looked over at Chiyo's face. " Sasori was there too and you know Gaara was a good thing that happened to Sakura."
Chiyo smiled. "I understand. I just wanted to know why you accepted him"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sakura slowly opened her eyes, light invaded her sight causing her to quickly close her eyes. Sakura sighted opening her eyes once again but this time she did it very slowly since she knew that the sharp light was there.
Sakura's eyes didn't burn this time when she slowly opened her eyes, making them adjust with the brightness of the purely white room. 'White?' she thought. She looked around the room to make sure if what she thought was true. The wall was white, the ceiling, the bed covers, the bed, the floor and even the clothes she wore were white. 'Damn again' she groaned. She had known that she was in a hospital even before she had opened her eyes. She knew this smell. A hospital always had a unique smell of medicine. She didn't expect to be in this room though. Hearing gentle breathing she looked for the source of the sound only to found him there sleeping peacefully. Gaara sat in a chair with lots of chains and restrains around him but even though he couldn't move he had such a peaceful expression on his face. His head was turned to her so she could clearly see his sleeping face. His face shown no hate, no anger nothing and yet it was not emotionless. He looked peaceful like a new born baby sleeping in his bed with no worries in the world, no hate, no pain only living with the love giving to him by the mother of the baby. He looked nothing like the monster Gaara she had seen earlier, this one didn't hold that rage that she had seen on him.
"Hey Gaara" Sakura whispered gently. Gaara stirred a little but didn't wake up. Sakura slowly and painfully stood up from her bed, she knew that if anyone saw her she would receive a lecture that could match the length of any presidential speech. She slowly walked over to Gaara's sleeping body, tugging the extra blanket from her bed with her. She stood right in front of him, unconsciously tracing her finger all along his face. His face like the rest of his skin was so soft even though it was as white as a ghost. He was the ghost that saved her from so much unthinkable pain that she had to endure. She took the blanket and covered him with it. He smiled as he felt the warmth envelop his body. Sakura couldn't help herself as she bend down kissing him softly on the lips before going back to her own bed.
For the rest of the time Sakura sat and read a book that Tsunade had brought her. She had came by to look how Sakura was doing and to drop off a bag for Sakura with some stuff like a tooth brush, clean under wear, hair brush, soap and even shampoo that she will need in her time staying in the hospital. In that she will need for the time she had to spend in the hospital. Temari also had dropped by after she heard about Sakura from Tsunade. Temari had called Tsunade's house earlier that day looking for Sakura and Gaara. She had come to look how Sakura was feeling and even left some of Gaara's things there for the night. Temari knew her brother well enough that he would stay there with her the entire night. Half way through her page she noticed that the figure next to her bed had stirred. Sakura sat down her book and looked to the side to see Gaara opening his eyes slowly.
"Hey Gaara, feel better?" She asked with a smile as she looked at the sleepy boy. She had asked Tsunade to take off his restraints after she came to visit her. Tsunade had his restraints taken off after Sakura had promised that Gaara wild not try to kill Sasuke in his sleep. Gaara have been sleeping for the past two hours. It was almost five in the afternoon when he finally woke up. Sakura had noticed that after his restraints have been removed her scratched his face a lot which smudged some of his makeup but not bad.
"I should ask you that" Gaara groaned rubbing his eyes. That made him smudge his eyeliner really bad. She guessed that he never slept with eye liner on if he rubs his eyes after waking up.
"I'm just peachy" Sakura couldn't help herself from laughing at how he looked with smudged eyeliner. The eyeliner wasn't thick around his eyes anymore instead it was around his entire eye. He looked just like a panda with those huge black around his eyes. Gaara looked down at his hands finally noticing that he still had his eye liner on. He couldn't even begin to imagine how he looked but by the laughing of Sakura he could only guess that he looked funny.
"Hey don't laugh at me" Gaara glared at her. That glare made her laugh even louder. He looked really cute and not threatening at all. "Hey" Gaara stood up, he walked over to her bed still glaring and still making her laugh even more.
"I can't" She said in between laughs "you look so cute" Gaara reached her bed. He bends down to look at her at her lever. He looked her right in the eye.
"Sa ku ra" he said slowly. She stopped laughing and looked at him. He looked so serious that she couldn't laugh at him anymore. "It's good to hear you laugh" he said kissing her on her forehead.
"It's good to have you near me" Sakura smiled at him, she sat up a little and pecked him on his forehead in return making him smile.
"I really hate white rooms" Gaara groaned standing up and looking at the white room. "Reminds me of my lovely padded room at the loony bin" He added. The whole room was white with only a single vase at her bed that held some color.
"This was the first bed I've ever slept on before that I had to sleep on straw" Sakura smiled sadly thinking back to her painful past that she wanted to forget.
" …" Gaara remained silent as he watched her. She patted to the spot next to her on the bed. He walked over to her and sat next to her on the bed.
"I was 10 years old when I first came here" She laughed "I use to throw things at the nurses but they never once restrained me nor locked me up." She looked down at her hands "This is also the first place that I met Tsunade. I've never thought that people could be so kind."
Sakura closed her eyes as memories flooded back to her.
*******************************************************************************************
The little girl of 10 years ran as fast as her little legs could take her. Her long, dirty pink locks trailed behind her. Tears slipped down her equally dirty face as she ran. Her body hurt all over. She was hungry and tired. Rain poured down on her. She wanted to get away as far as possible. There was only one place that she could go to. She ran across the street, not bothering to look at cars. She never saw the car coming toward her. Pain shot through her small body. It was a pain that she never felt. It was even worst than the usual pain that she constantly endured.
She could hear screaming as she lay on the street. The taste of her own blood flowed into her mouth. A trail of it passed her blue lips and slipped down her face until it collected with her blood that have been thinned by the pouring rain.
Her green eyes looked up at the sky. 'Am I going to die?' she thought. Her body pained all over. Blood came out from everywhere. 'Please Lord, let me die. I can't take it' Tears slipped from her eyes. The sky became darker as she lay there pleading to the Lord to take her away from the pain. Brown eyes and blond hair floated over the small girl 'an Angle' she thought before the darkness took her away.
The little girl was cold as the woman grabbed her hand. She was driving with her car, her companion talking casually with her. The pouring rain made it almost impossible to see. A figure ran in front of the car, she stepped on her breaks. She didn't have enough time to react until it was too late. The figures body was hit by the car. Her body was thrown backwards by the force.
The driver rushed out of her car. The in the road lay a small girl. A puddle of her blood formed around her body. "call the ambulance" She had screamed to her white haired companion. She rushed to the small girl. She could only grab her hand. As a doctor she knew that her cold hands and blue lips were a bad sign.
She could do nothing. She was useless without her equipment. At that moment she felt useless as a doctor. Without any equipment, all her knowledge or experience couldn't save this little girl that lay in front of her.
The world was bathed in red as the ambulance emerged with its roaring siren and the red light shining from above. It was ironic how the red of the lights looked like blood, blood from people who were in the middle of life and death. Some will let go while others will hang onto their precious life.
Medics in their blue uniforms rushed out of the white vehicle, followed close by with the bed of death, the bed that many have given their last breath's on. The bed where those who loved them gripped as tears streamed down their faces. Sorrow, hate, fear, love and pain filled them as a little bit of them died along with the person they loved.
~After~
The machines beeped in rhythm as they poured oxygen into the little girls damaged lungs. Her pale skin matched that of the hospital room's pure white room. In the cold, brown chair next to the little girls bed, slept the driver that had hit her. Her blond hair fell over her face as she lay there in the very uncomfortable chair.
Upon her inspection of the little girl when she was rushed into the hospital was the fact that she noticed that she had many bruises on her small, frail body but not all of them were fresh and not done by a car. The small girl's body told a story that would shock most people. She must have been running from something? The woman thought as she looked onto the girl's body.
Small emerald eyes slowly opened. She saw only white around her as her eyes slowly drifted open. "Am I dead" she Horsley whispered. She was answered with pain shooting through her small body. Tears streamed down her face at the unbearable pain that rushed over her.
She felt many different forms of pain in her life but this was the worse so far. Her body ached all over but the worse was her heart that ached. It ached at the thought of being alive. She thought that if she died she could be freed from all the pain that she had to endure and the pain that she has to endure in the future.
A lady in a pure white uniform emerged from the door. She held a note clip in her one hand and a tray with some needles, medicine and other things. The girl noticed that the nurse was middle age looking. She had long blond hair, tied in two low ponies at the back of her head. She looked so kind as she approached the girl. She sat the things down on the girl's bedside table. She moved forward to the girl, her hand raised to the girls head.
"Don't touch me" The little girl screamed, slapping away the nurse's hand. "I don't need your help nor do I need your pity" She glared at the nurse, her heart was beating furiously while her eyes darted to the side. She was scared of this room and this woman who stood before her with her fake smile.
"You shouldn't move, you will reopen your wounds" The nurse calmly replied to the small girl. Her voice was warm and soft. The girl has never heard someone's voice sound so soft and caring. She was use to harsh screams and shouts. She had seen her share of fake smiles and deceiving faces. She had decided to stop trusting people years ago after she had learned the hard way that everyone was just trying to deceive you and once you're caught in their web you're never getting out alive.
"no.…no" The little girl shook with fear as tears started to form in her eyes "lies all lies, no one cares for me they are all lies…I should have died." She muttered frantically. She unconsciously moved away from the nurse and into the corner of the bed. She was trying to distance herself from everything while she covered her head with her arms. Her body was shaking beyond her control as she sat in her protective ball that protected her through years of pain. Her body suddenly stopped its shivering as warmth spilled all over it. The little girls eyes widened as she snapped her head up at the nurse who…..who hugged her. She tried pushing her away but the nurse didn't let go.
"Shuuu, dear child" The nurse cooed softly. She rubbed the little girl's back in a soothing way. "Please don't say things like that" The nurse's gentle voice broke as she said that holding the girl tighter.
"Don't touch m…." She tried again but stopped as she heard to nurse softly cry.
"Please don't say things like that" The nurse's voice broke out through her silent whimpers.
"Umm are you okay?" The little girl asked. She had heard a grown woman cry many times before but this nurse's cry was different. It was…was real. Her soft cries were filled with a deep sadness that made the small girls heart pain just hearing it.
"I'm fine….it's just....just" The nurse pulled away from the girl and looked at her. The girl saw the tears run down her face. "I'm so…. so sorry I didn't see you in front of the car until it was too late" more tears ran down her face "I'm really sorry that I ran you over……when I saw you there covered in blood it reminded me of him" Tears spilled down her face as she cried in her hands.
"There…. there" the girl patted the nurses shoulder. She didn't know what else she could do. "I don't blame you" she said. She really didn't. She was the one who ran in front of the car. She was the one who wanted to die not causes others pain.
"I didn't want to watch you die like I watched him die" she whispered.
"…." She felt her heart give a tug. This nurse must have loss someone very precious to her. Plus she has watched that person die before her, nothing could be more heart wrenching. "Please don't cry" The little girl felt tears fall down her own face as she started to cry. The nurse hugged her as they both cried. After sometime she fell asleep with a heart lighter from all the pain she cried out.
Everything was nice and still in the morning at the hospital. The patients were sleeping while the night shift staff exchanged places with the day shift staff. The little girl slept silently in her room. Her room was like all the other rooms in the hospital, pure white. "Morning little one" A soft voice cooed as the nurse from the day before walked in the room. The girl slowly opened her eyes.
"Hey" The little girl softly replied. She watched with sleepy eyes as the nurse walked into her room. She had never slept so comfortably in her life. 'Is a bed really this good' she asked herself.
"I am Doctor Tsunade" The nurse spoke "And you are?" The little girl blinked a few times. 'She is a doctor and not a nurse' she thought to herself. Now that the girl looked closely Tsunade wore a white coat that she heard doctors wore and around her neck was a strange looking plastic tube thing.
"I am Sakura" The little girl replied looking away. She felt so stupid as she lay there in the bed. She did not know the difference between a doctor or a nurse nor did she know the comfort of a bed.
"Sakura is such a pretty name for such a pretty girl" Tsunade smiled. She walked toward the girl and took the plastic tube from her neck and held it in her hands. The little girl looked at her wondering what she was doing.
"im not pretty" She answered glaring at the tube thing that Tsunade was bringing close to her.
"You just need some care and you'll look fine" She smiled looking at the girl who held no emotion on her face. She just sat there glaring at the device that she held in her hands. "Do you know what this is?" She asked holing up the device for the girl to see.
"No" The girl glared "I am stupid okay. I didn't have all those schooling like you all had" She snapped, moving away from the device as Tsunade brought it closer to her.
"This is a stethoscope. It's a device used to listen to your heart" She explained holding it out to her. "it wont bite" The girl took it in her hands and looked at it. Those parts are for your hears so that you can listen and that big round part is used to place it on the persons chest so that you can listen to their heartbeat.
"A stethoscope" The girl mimicked looking at the device. She tested it by pulling it on and holding it to her chest. She was startled as she heard the beating of her own heart. 'I though I didn't have one' She frowned listening to her heart again. 'Only those who are loved have one'
Tsunade's beeper beeped signaling her that she was needed. "Well then Sakura I've brought you this. I'll come visit you after my shift" She put down a big panda teddy bear on the edge of Sakura's bed. It had a big pink bow around its neck. "This is a panda." She said. She turned around and walked over to the door. Sakura felt so happy as she looked at the teddy not sure if she should touch it. "It's yours you can play with it all you want" Tsunade smiled as she slipped out of the door. Sakura took the bear and pulled it over to her. On the bow of the bear was a small tag with a name on it that she could not read.
When Tsunade returned later that evening she had asked her about the name on the tag which Tsunade replied was Sakura's name. She had felt so ashamed but Tsunade told her that she did not have to feel ashamed that she could not read. Tsunade told her that she would help Sakura with reading then Sakura could have something to do while she stays in the hospital.
Sakura have been staying in the hospital for three days already. She was told that she would have to be in the hospital for a long time since she had a lot of injuries. Her older injuries had to fully heal before she could be let out. Tsunade came by every day and spend a lot of time with her only talking even if she didn't reply she kept on talking to her. She brought her different kind of children books that she could learn to read.
One day when she was bored out of her mind Sakura decided to look around this strange place that she never has been in before the accident. She climbed out of her bed and walked out of the door. She walked a while until she found the entrance and the main part of the hospital. She noticed for the first time how big the hospital was and how busy it was with people coming in and out, nurses and doctors rushing from one part of the hospital to the other. She had been to the bathroom for a shower with Tsunade before but never to this part of the hospital.
Feeling a bit overwhelmed by the crowd she walked away to a part of the hospital that seemed less crowded. Down this hall she found a door that lead to the outdoor staircase. Feeling like she really needed some fresh air she followed these stairs up and up she went, following the stairs until a door came before her. Pushing the door, it opened after she had to add some pressure; a rush of wind assaulted her as the door opened. Before her was the roof, stepping out onto the roof she saw how beautiful it was decorated for other patients to relax. There was a beautiful made garden with a path to walk upon and some chairs seated under shade while other chairs were out in the open. She walked towards the chairs and nearly walked over a boy who lay on the ground. He was lying on his back, looking up at the sky not even noticing her. Feeling uneasy being around another perso9n she started to turn away to go back to her room.
"You know you can stay" He said in a bored tone nearly giving her an heart attack, shocked she just stood there watching him unsure what to do. "I don't bite even if I did it's too troublesome" He muttered the last part. Still unsure she went over to him and sat down next to him.
"Are you a patient?" She asked not knowing if he said it out of pity or if he actually wanted some kind of company.
"Nope" he muttered. He turned his gaze from the sky to her "My dad works here. He's the one who takes samples from people with different diseases and makes medicine for it" He watched her as she kept quite "I usually stay home after school but my mom is not at home. So I am forced to stay at the hospital" He finished. He watched as she was quite all the time. Girls from school was not like her, at least she let him finish his sentence and not butt into the middle of it. He only knew another girl who was very quite and that was his best friend's extremely shy cousin.
"Oh" She muttered softly before they fell back into silence. The boy turned his gaze back towards the sky while she sat there quietly looking at her feet. Tsunade brought her some slippers that she now wore on her feet. The slippers were pink like her hair and had silver stars on them. A shadow fell over her, snapping her out of her thoughts. She slightly turned her head, wanting to know to who or what the shadow belong to. She saw another boy roughly the same age as the one next to her. He wore baggy beige pants with a white T-shirt. His hair that was longer than hers gracefully fell over his face as he looked down at her. What caught her attention the most was his eyes, cold and white. Silently after he glanced at her he walked over to the boy next to her.
"Hey Hyuuga" The boy next to her greeted the one with the white eyes without even taking his eyes off the sky. "Didn't expect you to be here today."
"Hey Nara" The scary boy replied. "Hinata got hurt again this morning at martial arts practice with her dad so I was told to accompany her here." He shrugged like it was a normal everyday occurrence. "Anyway who's that" He turned his gaze to Sakura.
"Ah this is my new friend" The Nara boy smiled, turning his gaze to Sakura. Sakura was shocked to say the least. This boy who she just met called her his friend. They rarely spoke!
"Ah" He nodded his head. He sat down next to the boy, looking up at the sky. So there she sat and watched the clouds with the boys whose name she didn't know. They sat for hours making small talk and learned their names as they learned hers. When it was time for them to go she went back to her room until the next day, she saw them again at the same place so she silently sat with them. Day after day this went on. Trusting them bit by bit she started talking to them more and more. She really started to like them. They may seem cold and unsocial but they were really great people who became her very first friends. Weeks after she was put in the hospital Tsunade invited her to live with her after Sakura had told her that she didn't want to go back. Without an explanation Tsunade took her in telling her that she didn't have to go back to her house. ******************************************************************************************
~a Week later~
Sakura sat on her hospital bed, dressed in some jeans and a black spaghetti shirt. She had tied her hair in a high ponytail while she had on some white sneakers that she got from Tsunade last year.
She was allowed to go home for the remainder of her recovery but she had at least to stay at home until Tsunade said she could go back to school. Shikamaru and Neji has been kind enough to bring her homework for the week she had missed for which she had been very grateful.
She had loads of visits that week. From Temari who dragged Kankuro with her while Gaara practically lived there. He slept at the hospital not wanting to leave before Sasuke is released. He and Chiyo had talked it out before s he she accepted his offer. She had another bed brought in for Gaara to sleep on since he couldn't sleep in the chair the whole time. It would be bad for his neck and back and being in a hospital meant that he had to have care about his health. Shika and Neji were there hours at a time after they had finished school. They brought her, her homework so that she did not fall behind in classes. She had worked hard to achieve her high marks in and it would be a waste if she had to fall behind even Hinata come by a few times with Neji. She apologized for not being a better friend to her while Sakura really didn't mind. Hinata did nothing bad to her so it really didn't matter but it really touched her heart that she took Sakura's side even though they were not that particular close friends. Kakashi dropped by with Tsunade once a day when they were finished with work. Kakashi came during his breaks and left 10 minutes late joking that he had an excuse to be late for class.
Gaara's head popped in. "Hey Sakura are you ready?" He asked. He walked into the room. He wore his usual black and red clothing covered in chains.
"Yeah" Sakura smiled. Gaara left that morning for school while she had slept.
"Good." He nodded his head "Tsunade asked me to pick you up while she had some work to do." Gaara shrugged. He was asked by Tsunade to take her home since she couldn't since she was at school working on some missed work. Shizune wasn't very happy because Tsunade had skipped work to watch after Sakura.
"Fine by me" Sakura laughed. Tsunade had been talking about how moody her best friend and secretary, Shizune had been with her missing work. Gaara took Sakura's bags. He held out his hand to her, smiling she took his hand in hers.
Sakura and Gaara sat outside under a cherry blossom tree in the huge Sabaku mansions garden. The sun was shining high in the sky while the sky was cloudless and beautiful. Sakura leaned her head on Gaara's shoulder as they sat and watched Temari and Shikamaru play shogi next to the swimming pool. The two of them became very close. Temari was reaching the end of her school life. She had a week left before she was finished while Shikamaru himself was told that he could skip his last years of school and finish the same time as her since he had such an extremely high intelligence. Temari was going away to Paris. She had been accepted to a very prestigious designing school. She was but one of a few people who were picked.
"Sakura?" Gaara called. Sakura turned her head to look at the boy who sat next to her. "look" Slowly her pulled out a black leather cover from one of his many pockets from his pants. "What do you think?" He held it out to Sakura to take. She took it into her smaller hands. The cover was black with a lone cherry blossom on it at the opening across the length of the cover was 'Sakura' inscribed in pink. Slowly she opened the cover and slipped out the object.
"This is beautiful" Sakura held a knife in her hands. The blade was a curvy shape with all kinds of exotic markings and shapes on it. Slowly she turned the knife over in her hand. The whole thing was silver with a dark pink handle. On the side of the knife was an engraved cherry blossom with the words 'Fight for your right' engraved underneath it.
"It's yours" Gaara shrugged. He had requested that It be made the day he was dragged shopping with Temari and Sakura. That was the thing that he had to go and do.
"Really" Sakura looked at him astounded. She knew he wasn't the gift giving type and she didn't expect gifts from him but his was a real surprise. By the look of it, it was specially made for her.
"Yeah. I figured that you need one to protect yourself with" he looked her in the eye as he said that "Seems like you need it" He looked away and softly said "I cant lose you" Sakura felt her heart leap as he said that. She had already known that she had fallen in love with him she just wasn't sure if he felt the same way about her. He wasn't a person who show's his feelings but he had shown a lot of it to her which made her happy.
"But I don't know how to use one" Sakura looked at the ground. She felt guilty. She had never had a knife to defend herself with and she really didn't know how to use it to defend herself with her knowledge she will probably take herself out before she takes her attacker out.
"That's the fun part" Gaara smirked. He and Sakura locked eyes "I'm going to teach you how to use it" He had planned on teaching her when he bought her the knife.
"Thanks" Sakura placed the knife back in it's leather cover then she leaned against him.
"It's not like you'll need it though" Gaara said looking at his sister and Shikamaru. Sakura raised an eyebrow at his statement. "I'll always protect you, since you are someone precious that I can't lose." Sakura laughed giving him a peck on his cheek.
"Thank you Gaara" She thanked him before leaning back against his shoulder.
"Sakura do you want to go with me to Goth rock concert in two days? I have two tickets" Gaara asked "I know your not the heavy metal or Gothic type but it would make the whole concert better if you were there with me" Gaara looked at Sakura.
"You mean like date" She smirked sitting up right to look at him. Gaara didn't look nervous like most guys who asked girls on dates nor did he look cocky like others. He looked calm and collected.
"Yeah" Gaara nodded as a reply to her question. His green eyes were calm as he watched her green ones. "My first date to be exact" He smirked.
"Sure, I'll be happy to go" She smiled at him.
~ Next Day at School ~
The cafeteria was packed once again with students edging to put some food in their bodies while others just needed to relax and do nothing. Cheerful laughter could be heard while some were talking their hearts out like they have been silenced for years.
Sasuke Uchiha smugly walked over to his table, situated in the middle of the cafeteria. He was released from the hospital yesterday. He may have been in the hospital for a week after getting beat by Gaara but he still had trouble using his left hand without feeling pain surge thought it. When Gaara pushed him to the floor and started beating the living shit out of him, Sasuke thought that he was going to die when the world went black. He had opened his eyes to a white room. He was in bandages from head to toe as he lay on the hard white bed. He couldn't move his body; if he even tired it felt as if a thousand daggers were stabbing into his body. When a nurse came to check upon him she had told him that he was unconscious for two days. Ino had dropped by a few times while he was bedridden sometimes when he heard her from down the hall he just pretended to sleep. It was easier to pretend to be asleep than being awake next to her.
A shoulder connected hard with Sasuke's left, pain shot through his arm. He glared his coldest glare that he could muster up. Unfortunately the one he glared at glared back at him. His cold white orbs glared right back into his onyx ones.
"Mad at something?" Sasuke asked with a smirk playing on his lips. He decided to play it dumb with the Hyuuga boy.
"I herd what happened to Sakura." He hissed. His cold glare intensify "What you did to her, everything"
"If Sabaku haven't shown up we could have had some fun" Sasuke licked his lips. He loved how the Hyuuga's eyes seemed to flicker dangerously at him. Neji Hyuuga was not a man for violence and kept his cool. Today Sasuke will make him lose his cool. "If he didn't come, Sakura wouldn't have gotten hurt like that." Sasuke shrugged before a thought hit him "She would be too busy moaning my name than cursing me" he smirked at the reaction of the Hyuuga. He was barely holding in his anger.
"Watch your mouth you piece of trash" Neji hissed. He was losing his cool and he knew it, his hands were balled into fists as he continued to glare at the boy before him. He nearly snapped at what Sasuke said last in his sentence. Did he think Sakura was some common slut?
"Trash?" Sasuke hissed. Was just called trash! Sasuke felt a beat down on his ego by just that one comment. Neji really had the gull to compare him to something so lowly like trash. He felt his anger rise tenfold.
"Yeah you're a loser, it's your destiny to stay one forever" Neji replied smugly. "No wonder Itachi has to stay with you until you're eighteen, losers can't look after themselves"
"Watch your mouth Hyuuga" Sasuke lowly growled, grabbing Neji's wrist.
"Or what, you'll cheat on me or break my heart, too" Neji asked innocently, blinking his eyes in a girly way. "It seems that it's your only talent these days" Neji smirked, ripping his wrist out of Sasuke's grasp.
"No, that is especially reserved for Sakura's heart." Sasuke retorted, driving the Hyuuga over the edge.
"Unforgivable" Neji punched Sasuke. Sasuke fell back into a table. He looked up at Neji smirking while a trail of blood dripped from his mouth.
"Hyuuga, you're a guy." Sasuke smiled darkly "Sakura is one pretty girl that could satisfy one not only with her looks" Sasuke licked his lips in emphasis.
"I'll kill you" Neji tackled Sasuke. They both landed onto the table with Sasuke beneath Neji as his hands were securely around the Uchiha boy's throat. "You son of a bitch! How dare you talk about her like that I'm going to fucking murder you!" Neji shouted out tons of infinities as he shook the boy like a rag doll.
"Neji Hyuuga!" Gai shouted from the side "Get off Uchiha now" he added. His cries were ignored as Neji continued gripping the boy by his neck. Neji was pulled off Sasuke by some of the members in his soccer team. Gai sensei stood between the two boys to keep them from, getting to each other.
"Bring them" Gai sighted as he motioned to the guys holding the frantic Neji while others pulled the smirking Uchiha from the table. He ordered the team who held the two boys, to follow him to the principal's office.
Tsunade and Shizune sat in Tsunade's office, working with each other on school activities lists that had to be finished before the end of the term when the sports day will be held for all students. The dark brown doors opened making them look away from the paper they were discussing. Gai walked into the room with a group of students following closely behind them. Tsunade eyed everyone as they walked into the room until her eyes caught the object that the group was holding, Sasuke Uchiha. The boy she really disliked for many reasons. Sighing, Tsunade picked up her cup of coffee and took a huge sip as she glared at Sasuke. "You again, Uchiha?" She asked looking at the boys torn blue shirt. She knew that it was not one of those in the fashion destroyed clothing that the teens these days whore since Sasuke Uchiha did not wear clothes like that, his pride would never allow it. "Piss off anyone today now that Sakura is not around for you?" She sarcastically asked.
A second group walked into the office. Shizune did a double take when she saw that this time it was Neji who was being brought to the office. Neji was from a very proud and noble family that had been in Konah for many decades, a family that obeyed rules. Neji obeyed rules like his family did even if he was not in the high ranks of the family. "What happened?" She asked surprised, never had she imagined him being brought in here.
"Tell us what happened" Tsunade sighted, looking over at the two boys held away from each other as they glared fiercely at each other.
"Neji attacked me" Sasuke said, throwing a glare at the Hyuuga.
Tsunade rose her eyebrow "You pissed him off didn't you?" She snapped at Sasuke. Neji wouldn't attack anyone unless he had a really good reason. Tsunade had known the boy for years, even before he had became friends with Sakura. "What did he do this time?" She asked, looking over at Neji.
"He just told me things about Sakura that he should have kept to himself." Neji glared, heatedly at the black haired hottie that makes the girls drool. Tsunade's attention was caught by the mention of Sakura. Her yes turned cold as she turned her gaze back to the black haired boy. It's best that Neji didn't tell her what Sasuke said since she was going to throttle him, luckily Neji knew that.
"Well then in that case Neji you're off with just a warning and mister Uchiha you got yourself another detention and a nice little warning. If you get in just one more fight I'm suspending you and calling your brother"
"Call my brother? Go ahead call him, what can he do anyway." Sasuke hissed "Itachi is not my parents, he killed them" Sasuke glared at Tsunade. It was all Itachi's fault that he had no parents that he grew up alone with out that love that a parent gives their child through out their life.
"Whatever you say but he is your guardian and I will tell him" Tsunade raised her voice. "You should walk very softly Sasuke since he is the one who is responsible for you and your half of the estate.. "Tsunade banged her fists on the table as built up rage started to take its toll on her. "…but piss me off you little fuck and you'll never reach your eighteenth birthday, now fuck off before I lose my temper" She lowered her voice. Sasuke didn't say anything as he turned on his heel and walked out of her office. He was planning on living a wonderful, full life.
~ Next day PE ~
Sasuke feint left, the ball neatly nested between his shoes. He threw the ball up into the air before kicking it straight into the goal. Breathing hard the young Uchiha smirked as the goalie stood up from his desperate dive to catch the ball. Since it was football season, Sasuke and his team were training during PE rather than have PE with the rest of the class. He was filled with adrenalin as he picked up another ball. He was practicing his shooting and the goalie his blocking. Naruto was his team partner for the shooting. Sasuke was pissed at Neji. He was given another detention for fighting while Neji himself got one but lighter than Sasuke's was. It's her fault. Sasuke glared at the floor. Sakura's 'mother' gave him worse punishment. He had to endure a very painful slow detention yesterday and he still had three of those left before he was done with detention.
To the side, the rest of the class was doing other sports. The boys were running doing laps around the athletic field while the girls were playing tennis on the tennis court.
Naruto was running off to the side, waiting for Sasuke to pass the ball to him. Naruto and Sasuke was a great team, Gai had instructed that they practice their passing to each other. Naruto was the only one who could be paired with Sasuke. Running off to the side, Sasuke's eyes caught pink behind where Naruto stood and waited for the pass. Immense hatred filled him as he watched her walking so carefree; she came back to school today. He clenched his hands in tight fists; he watched her walking from the tennis court towards the track field. She wore a red shirt with black shorts; a white towel was draped over her shoulder. She smiled as she looked over at the track field at him who was running in the lead. He couldn't keep his body from shaking as his hatred and rage for the girl who left him. Him! The most popular guy in school for a bloody insane delinquent. He looked down at the ball at his feet, his hands shaking. Naruto was screaming for him to pass already. With cold eyes he looked up, kicking the ball with all the might that he could muster. The ball flew through the sky, singing as it traveled with speed and so much force. The ball flew past the surprised Naruto who was at least two meters away from it, He tried getting to the ball but it was not going in his direction. The ball made a loud sound as it was stopped. Surprised, Naruto turned around. Horror struck him as he saw Sakura lying unconscious, the ball rolling away from her. He ran over to her while he shouted to the nearest team member to call for Gai.
Sasuke stood there looking at her. Smirking he turned around, not caring if she was hurt or not as he made his way towards the showers. He had to go wash himself the sweat was starting to make his body itch.
Gai was standing and watching the boys as they ran track. The football team was doing great and even the girls, he only had to come and check up on the boys. "Sensei!!!" a boy ran towards him screaming as loudly as he can.
"Eh?" Gai raised one of his fuzzy eyebrows. The boy ran with all his might, almost tripping over his feet a few times. Gai noticed that he was one of the football boys. Sensing that something was wrong upon looking at the boy's face he walked over to the boy who was still running towards him.
"Sensei" He fell onto the ground breathing heavily. "S…S…..Sakura …….was …..hit by a soccer ball" HE took a deep breath to calm his breathing. The boys who were running lap stopped their running to see what happened since, their curiosity took over them. "…….and it looks like she's out cold" The boy breathed again after finishing his sentence.
"What!!" Gai screamed loudly, terrifying the breathless boy. With wide eyes Gai didn't say anything anymore as he ran past the boy, towards the football field with so much speed that the students had to wipe away the dust on their faces while some of the boys ran after him.
Gaara was running next to Gai in flash. The red head looked serious as he ran towards the field, his face void of all expression. Gaara reached the field first after he ran past Gai, his green eyes searched for the pink headed girl. He saw a group of people standing at the side of the field, he ran towards them. There he found her. Gaara took her in both hands, glaring at everyone around him like they were the enemy.
"Gaara, Take her to the nurses office" Gai sighted, pinching his nose. Why was it always Sakura who got hurt why not some other student. His eyes ran over all the people standing around him, searching for a certain black haired boy. He couldn't find him anywhere. "Okay I want everyone from the football team to meet me in Tsunade's office, after you all take a shower. A student was injured and we need to find out how it happened."
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
In principals office….again
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Tsunade rubbed her temples in annoyance. She was just about done with all her work for the day and now this had to happen. "What happened now?" She asked as she looked at the football team who was once again in her office with Gai. "Did Uchiha and Neji get in another fight?"
"No" Gai shook her head. "We just an accident on the field and need to clear out what happened that's all" He rubbed the back of his head whilst smiling.
"Then why do you look like this is a death sentence?" Tsunade glared.
"Well you see…uh...the students who got injured was Sakura-.." He closed his mouth in an instant. Tsunade's face was wiped clean of any emotion as he name rolled over his tongue.
"I see" Tsunade nodded her head. "The…why in BLOODY HELL DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!!" She slammed her hand on the table. The football team stood quietly, scared of maddening her even more. "SASUKE UCHIHA" She hissed.
"No wait we don't know what happened. We can't just jump to conclusions" Shizune attempted to calmed her down but that was in vain. The blond headed woman before her could not be tamed. She was like a mother bear, defending her cup in the wild against danger.
"Who else would than the spoiled brat who cares about no one but him self?" She hissed, locking her eyes with Sasuke's. She gripped her table with all her might. She was so close to cracking and she knew it. She was going to explode and Sasuke would be the target of her destruction.
"Don't blame others since you can't even look after your own daughter" Sasuke spoke loud and clear for her to hear and he even spoke slowly as he smirked. The woman before him didn't not scare him in the least. She was just a principal who was beneath him.
She snapped. Gai and Shizune had to work quickly; they grabbed her before she could reach Sasuke. He face was a few inches from his own. "Just watch you little fuck if we find out it's you …."
"You'll suspend me? Wow that's bad how would I live after such hardship" He rolled his eyes.
"Get me Ibiki; he is in charge of questioning the entire football team." Tsunade hissed through her teeth. She will question each and every one of these students until she gets an answer.
One by one the football team was called to go into her office while the others sat outside waiting patiently for her call. Ibiki has already questioned Sasuke and could not get anything out of the boy. He was rock solid on the fact that he was innocent. Ibiki could do nothing further. If only this was the military he could have gotten that information out of the boy in 5 minutes flat.
Neji was questioned and he like most of the others knew nothing. They were busy with team practices and other works so they did not see anything. Naruto was the one called in last. He was Sasuke's training partner, best friend and also the first one to Sakura after the accident.
"What did you see Naruto?" Tsunade asked softly at the boy. She had told Ibiki that she will question him herself for she was very close to this boy. She had known both of his parents.
Naruto took a deep breath. "Well, Sasuke and I were training our passing to one another like we were instructed to do." He said thinking hard, not wanting to leave anything out. He really wanted to know what had happened to Sakura.
"Then?" Tsunade asked gently, watching the boy rack his brain. He wasn't the quickest boy but he was actually really bright in his own way. If he really wanted to achieve something the boy could get the world in the palm of his hand if he wanted. Ambitious and hard working was what he was, never giving up nor losing hope even if everyone around him gave up he would stay strong and continue.
"I know that Sasuke is a really great player and all. He can kick the ball so hard and far with super accuracy that even amazed the greatest high school players from other schools but when he kicked the ball for me, it wasn't really going towards me, I tried my best to get to it but then-"Naruto stopped talking, he thought over and over at that very moment so many times while he waited outside Tsunade's office. What made Sasuke kick that inaccurate?
"What?" Shizune asked. He had sat and listened though every one of the questioning. She was to record it in order to use as evidence or if some parents complained about something unethical like interrogation. Kids these days make up the most exaggerated stories which the parents believe right away and would jump down the throats of the nearest person.
"The ball flew past me. I really didn't understand how Sasuke who is such a good aim could over shoot the ball like that. It missed me by a mile. I turned around after hearing the ball hit something and then there Sakura lay. I ran over to her to see if she was okay. I wanted to ask Sasuke for some help but another member told me that he went to take a shower." Naruto kept quite "I think that was very cold of him. He accidentally over shoot then disappeared not even coming over to see if she was okay." Naruto looked down at his hands that were on his lap. "I think that it was a really bad mistake for me to pick him over her. I just didn't want to believe that my best friend was a bad guy" A hand rested on his shoulder.
"Don't worry Naruto everything is okay." Tsunade smiled reassuring at him. "Sasuke needs help" She muttered. "Shizune get me Itachi's number. I need to speak with him." She patted Naruto on the head "Well Naruto you can go now, thank you for telling me everything you saw."
"I just wanted to help" Naruto said. He quietly walked out of her office. He still couldn't believe that Sasuke would do such a thing to someone who was always there for him, caring and always supporting him. Pinching his nose he knew that he was part to blame. He also turned his back on someone who was always there for him when he had no one. She was the pillar who kept him up and he spat all over her. Now that he opened his eyes he will make right for everything he did wrong to her.
Tsunade and Itachi talked over the phone about the satiation. She had told him that Sakura was okay and had only minor injuries. Finally after a long chat they decided to expel Sasuke from school for a week and he was forced to get a psychiatrist for his obsession with Sakura.

~A Week Later~
Gaara sat in a cherry blossom tree. His green eyes closed as he relaxed against the tree. It was yet another boring day of school. It was always this boring at school around this time of the year. The school year was ending and that made the whole school boring. He felt so relaxed and would of fell asleep but couldn't since this school was not the most peaceful place at lunch time. Girls were gossiping, guys were checking girls out and some couples were screaming at each other.
"Just leave me alone" A girl's voice was heard as she hissed with anger in her voice. There was even a tint of pain in her voice as she spoke. The girl turned her back on him and started to walk away.
"No" A mans voice was heard. He grabbed the girls arm to keep her from walking away from him.
"What the hell do you want huh? Isn't it enough that you have my soul or do you want my fucking life too?" The girl asked with so much hate. She hated the man before her. She had never hated anyone in her life so much as for him.
"Shut up you bitch" He hissed bringing her closer to her. He wanted to intimidate her by his size. He was at least 50cm or 60 cm taller than she as. His body was bigger and build compared to her small body. His dark hair looked black in comparison to her light hair.
"No! It's my life and you won't ever have it. You can take my body but you will never have my mind" She screamed at him. He had destroyed the first few years of her life and she will not allow him to destroy the rest of her life now that she finally found 'him'.
"I'm tired of your constant rebelling, whore" He dragged her along the path towards the parking lot. "I found you the perfect guy." He laughed thinking about the guy he got her. He was a rich man in his thirties that would love a young girl like her. He liked beautiful girls and she was definitely beautiful even if she didn't have big breasts like most girls her age.
"Don't" She hissed slapping his hands away from her. She wasn't some whore who could be bought or given away to some stranger. She will never scoop to that level even if her life depended on it.
"You two will be together!" He hissed, grabbing her wrist. He applied forced to her wrist implying that he was not joking.
"No, I will never be with someone who I don't love" She struggled against his strong grip on her small wrist for her freedom. "I'm not like you or my mother who likes a hot fuck no matter if you never met the person!" She screamed in his face.
"Shut up!" He punched her with her free hand. She fell backwards onto the ground, blood dripped from her nose, crawling like spiders down her face. She looked up to glare at the man before her.
"I'll never do what you want" She hissed. "Father" she added in a sarcastic tone as she looked at the man who was indeed the scum known as her father. The main cause of all the pain she had to endure through out her entire life, the one to blame for all the beating she had to endure.
"Bitch" He lowly whispered out of hatred for the girl in front of him. He glared at this mistake as he stalked over to her. He wanted to wipe that insolent smirk from her face, cover that pretty innocent face of hers in blood and watch as she lies in a puddle of her own blood crying. Smirking over that wonderful though he kicked her. "Do you want me to show you again what happens when you go against me, eh whore?" He asked through gritted teeth, kicking her again "Is that how you speak to your father you ungrateful slut" He grabbed her by the throat and shoved her against the huge cherry blossom tree behind her. "I'll keep on beating you until you stop bitching. I don't care if you die since your worthless mistake who should never have been bored in this world!" He punched her in the stomach making her double over in pain. The grip he had on her stopped her from collapsing to the floor, this beating was far from done. He pulled back his arm, aiming for her face, the face who keeps on defying him, the face that makes his blood boil. He punched with all her might. He wanted to break that face which he hated so much. His punch was grabbed by an unknown hand, a few centimeters from her face. Red hair cascaded over the face of the man who stood in front of him, separating him from her. He loosened his grip on her, watching as she slid down the tree, behind the unknown 'Knight in shining armor'.
"Touch her again and I'll….." The boy raised his head. "…kill you" His green eyes were cold and voided of any emotion as he glared the man right in his eyes. The man before him he felt like his soul was being ripped out just by the look of the boy's eyes before him. He knew that eyes. It was the eyes of a killer. Eyes that could kill you even by the coldness that lies deep inside of them.
"I don't take orders from a boy" He bravely put up. He tried yanking his fist from the boys grip but only to have pain shoot up is whole arm as the red head gripped his fist with his hand.
"Oh……I will make you suffer." The boy smiled a sick smile at the man. "Then I will kill you, slowly and painfully. I will continue to hurt you like you had hurt her" His grip tightened. Some of the fingers in his hand started to painfully pop. "I'll make you scream and beg for your life" The red head grabbed him by the throat and threw him against the tree behind him, next to the girl. He screamed. "Then I'll break every bone in your body. You'd wish you were dead." Gaara gripped his throat tighter and tighter.
Not far away from the scene sat a boy with onyx eyes and hair the same as his eyes. He was leaning in a tree. It was the perfect spot to hide from annoying people since the spot was covered by plants and bushed but it was really easy to look at people walking by or hanging pout in the clearing before this place. He had watched the entire scene as it played out, a devilish smirk slowly formed on the boys face as a plan formed in his mind. 'This plan may take some time but know this Sakura, I will make you mine'
Totally a cliffy but just to tell you that the next one is the last one. I'll be ending my story by the last one. I've already written a part of the sequel but it wont be out this year. I have my end term exams to pass then im going on a vacation with my family.
Anyway sorry it took so long. I just finished my exams this week. I'm over worked and tired. So yeah. I don't know when I'll put the last one up. We don't have internet at home but I'll see what I can do about getting the last one out.
Please Review or whatever…brain dead atm.
