Chapter 28- Date.

I cried hard as I walked from the school, I managed to get away from the girls that followed me. There was no way I was attending school. I wanted to get far away from that place. With everything in me I just wanted to leave, I wanted to get far away from this place. I walked down the street, walking in the opposite direction of the school. Gasping for air in between sobs, I wiped my eyes and pulled my phone from my pocket. I ignored the missed call from Grimmjow and sobbed even more as I scrolled through my contacts and quickly called Sasuke. Once I turned the first corner, I put the phone to my ear and my sobs stopped as I sniffled and listened to the ringing.

"S-sakura?"

"Sasuke!" My heart dropped and I couldn't contain it anymore. I sobbed some more and clung to the phone that was pressed to my ear.

"Sakura whats wron-"

"What's wrong with her?" Naruto called out from the background. "Why is she crying?"

"If I knew I wouldn't be asking her" Sasuke replied.I sniffled and wiped my nose.

"S-sauke...You're with Naruto?" I asked.

"Y-yeah.."he said with a lowered voice.

"Th-thats good! You guys are going to come get me now right?! You both are 18, you will come for me" I said reassuringly. I sniffled and they didn't speak. "Na...Naruto?" I asked as they whispered in the background. "Sasuke what's-"

"Actually Sakura...We can't do that..." Naruto mumbled into the phone. I gave a fake smile and shook my head, the tears had stopped flowing by now.

"I don't understand, wh-why not?" I asked.

"Sakura, we have something to tell you" Sasuke said.

"Wh-"I went to speak but a lady in the distant background on the other end of my phone interrupted me.

"Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki" She said. I heard shuffling around. as the phone was handed over.

"Sakura?" Naruto asked.

"Where's Sasuke? Who was that?" I asked.

"Sasuke went to fill out the rest of our paperwork"Naruto mumbled.

"For...for what?"

"Sakura. We can't come get you because we don't have the funds to. We don't have the money to support you, or even us" He said softly. I could hear the pain in his voice as he spoke to me with sadness. I shook my head as I felt my eyes welt up.

"I don't care! I will be homeless if it means seeing you both. I can't take it here. I have to leave and-"

"No. Sakura, we don't want that for you and it isn't going to be your life just because you want to have us there with you." He snapped. I swallowed and bit my lip as he continued. "We will come for you. It may not be today, tomorrow, this year or the next but one day we will" He whispered. "We are going somewhere, where you wont have contact with us at all" My eyes widened as I wiped the little tears that flowed.

"What are you saying? Why not? Where are you guys going?" I asked.

"Sasuke and I enlisted in the Army and we are leaving the day after Tomorrow" He said. My heart dropped and tears streamed down my face as I stopped walking, throwing my hand over my mouth I shook my head over and over as he went on and explained how careful they would be and how they wouldn't be placed on the front lines right away so I had nothing to worry about. "We will come to get you sakura. They pay amazingly well and all of our funds are going into a savings so when we get out of here we will have more than enough money to start off with, wherever it may be. Konoha, Kurakara town, wherever you want" I cried hard and the phone went silent.

"Sakura..." Sasuke said softly. "I promise...we promise...we will come back for you" He said softly.

"Idiot..." I said softly.

"Huh?" Naruto asked. "What did you sa-"

"IDIOTS!" I yelled, taking the phone from my ear as I cried, holding it from my ear I continued to allow the tears to flow. "DON'T MAKE PROMISES YOU CAN'T KEEP!" I slammed the phone shut and threw it as hard as I could. Once it was thrown, I fell to my knees and sat on my behind, on hand on the floor and the other hand over my mouth in hopes of containing my sobs. My last chance to get out of here, to get away from the pain was gone and now I was stuck here.

...

I didn't know why but I found myself at a park. I sat on the swing in the playground, staring off into space as I watched the three children chase each other around on the playground. I swung back and forth ever so slightly, my feet pushing me back and forth as I watched the boys chase the little girl. The mother on the bench, reading a book. She was pushed down by one of the boys and she began crying. The mother rushed over and I watched as the girl sobbed and the boy was scolded.

"You don't do that kenji! She is your sister you are suppose to love and protect her remember?" She yelled at him. He nodded regretfully at his scolding and my eyes watered. When the chains on the swing next to me rustled around, I looked to the right of me just as Ichigo had taken his seat, his backpack on the ground beside mine. I looked back to the family as the mother had taken the kids from the playground. The three children holding hands as the one on the end, the girl, held the mothers hand.

"My mother use to take me here all the time..."He whispered. I turned and looked to him, remembering that his mother had passed away. He sat on the swing, staring at the ball that one of the kids had left on the playground. "I was such a baby when it came to her..." He mumbled. My head turned and my eyes followed his gaze and blankly stared at the ball as well, as he continued to speak. "I'm sorry abou-"

"They went to the army..." I cut him off, avoiding the topic of Grimmjow. Ichigo snapped his head around and looked to me.

"What..."He mumbled.

"Sasuke...and Naruto...they went to the army...they leave in a couple days" I whispered, biting my lip after finishing my sentence.


"Sakur..." He paused, knowing that a simple 'I'm sorry' and a hug wouldn't be able to cheer her up. He looked to the ball and smiled at the thought of what to do. He stood up from his swing and took her hand. She looked up at him with a confused look. "Go on a date with me?" He asked. The blush on her face and the shocked look made him chuckle. "Not like that dork. Come on" He gripped her hand and they walked from the park after snatching their backpacks. She followed him as they loaded up onto the subway. With every glance at her, she was staring off into space like she was not even aware of their surroundings, as if she was alone all by herself and the rest of the world was shut out. It wasn't untill he nudged her every now and then that she came back to reality and gave him a fake smile, which he responded with a genuine one. They got off the subway and he took her hand into his and led her up the stairs, when they came above ground again they walked a bit more before they stopped. She watched him with a confused look as he took off his uniform jacket. He turned her around to where he back faced him and folding his jacket into one long, thick piece of clothing he tied it over her eyes like a blindfold.

"Ichigo what are you-"

"Shhh, trust me okay. Where we are going is a surprise." He whispered. She raised her hands out in front of her in an attempt to feel around where he was. he walked along side her and took her hand, guiding her as they walked slowly, a bit of a ways before they stopped. he fixed her to where she was facing the right way and ran behind her and pulled the jacket off from on front of her eyes. She rubbed them as he put his jacket back on and walked in front of her. She looked up and her eyes lit up and a smile came to her face as they stood at the front entrance of an amusement park. She bit her lip and glanced to him with a look like 'is this real?' he nodded to her and offered his hand as the other was shoved into his pocket. "Shall we?" He asked. She nodded and ran to him but instead of taking his hand, she ran past him and through the front gates. He smirked and shoved his other hand into his pocket as both of their bags hung around his arm, following after her.
