I watched as Tenten and Temari took out all their anger that they've been holding in since the moment they saw Hinata's unconscious body on that hospitable bed.
"Stop, that's enough." I said placing my hand on their shaking shoulders. "She's been unconscious for the past five minutes. She got what she deserve let's go." I said as I reached my hand out and saw another hand being stretched out for them. I look to my side to see Ino smiling down at them with a few tears trying to escape her eyes. They took our hands and we helped them up before dusting ourselves off.
Tears were still running down their face and I know that the feeling I had when I saw Hinata were nothing compared to their feelings. I've only just met her but they've known her a lot longer so I'm sure they were extremely angry when they saw her all beat up.
"You guys ok?" I asked and they both nodded their heads, I really respected them, even before I knew them. They are so strong that they have control over their emotions.
"Want to go back to our place to eat?" Temari said inviting Ino.
"Can I really?" She asked excitedly and we all nodded our heads. She has proven that she means no harm and only wanted to help us. She seems like a good person to me.
Once we went back to our class everyone knew what we did.
I began to walk towards my desk that was next to Sasuke's and as I was walking to the back I heard a few whispers here and there.
"She must have found them."
"Wow she really changed."
"Well she's using her body to get what she wants, I heard she's the hoe of some millionaire."
Some rumors were really ridiculous honestly! If I was a hoe of some millionaire, and I'm not saying I am, what would I be doing at this school?
"Look she has blood on her clothes!"
"How un-lady like!"
"Someone is going to teach her a lesson."
The last comment I actually saw the girl who said and ironically she was the one sitting on the table in front of mine.
I took my seat and leaned forward to whisper a little warning to that girl. "If you're going to teach me a lesson than I suggest you get ready to have your face re-arranged." I saw her visibly freeze.
She turned around a bit to look at me trying to show that she wasn't afraid but I saw the fear in her eyes and I smirked, one of the many qualities you gain when you hang around narcissistic guys.
"I didn't say anything!" She whispered back.
"I'm not going to let you push me around anymore. Tell the rest of your "friends" if you have a problem with me tell me directly, so I can make you cry" she paled and I couldn't hold back the murderous look that I'm sure I was giving her.
I leaned back on my seat and she tried to turn around naturally but you can see the tightening of her muscles.
"Hilda what's the answer?" The teacher asked as he wrote the question down.
I looked to the girl in front of me as she struggled to speak .
"Umm…7?" She said and the teacher could only shake his head in disappointment.
"Where you even listening?" He sighed, "Sakura what's the answer?"
"X=5^(3)/3^(5)" I said and he wrote down what I had just said on the board.
"Very good," he said looking back at the class, "This is why they can leave at any time they wish." He told the rest of the class who sulked as they wrote down the answer they clearly did not know.
"Are you ok?" Sasuke whispered to me and I turned to look at him before I smiled. "Yea, a little tired from all the work out today but I'm fine." I reassured him, it seemed like the teacher saw us talking and chose other people to work out some problems on the board.
"That's not…" he said but didn't finish and I saw him blushing a bit.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Well… I mean…last night. You know." He said scratching the back of his head as he blushed. When I realized what he was talking about I turned red.
"U-Uumm yea I'm good. T-Thanks for worrying." What else can you say to that?!
"Your brother was very gentle-I mean nice-I mean-" All of that sounded so weird. What kind of conversation are we having?
"Ah, I understand you don't need to explain any further. You seem to make my brother really happy and you look happy yourself, well happier then when I first saw you. The point is I wish you both happiness and I hope things work out for you both."
I have never heard Sasuke saying things like this to anyone. It made me really happy in way to know that he cared so much about his brother and my relationship.
"Thank you Sasuke." I said before throwing myself at him to hug him. I've never been so comfortable around people enough to hug them like this, but I really trusted them. All of them.
"Yea yea." He said and I could see a tint of pink on his cheeks, it made me laugh because I knew Sasuke was never used close contact with others. The fact that he wasn't rejecting my contact meant that he trusted me.
I felt my phone vibrate and I saw a text from Itachi, my skipped a beat as I opened it.
~Sorry I won't be able to pick you up today, please head home with everyone else. Do not go home by yourself I beg of you. I will be home around 4pm. – Itachi.
I could feel my face fall but I couldn't really do much about it.
"It's ok, we'll be with you and he'll be home soon after us." Sasuke reassured me.
I smiled at him and nodded.
The school day was over and I was waiting for everyone at the front gate with Sasuke.
"I wonder how much longer it will take for Hinata to heal." I asked out loud.
"She was badly injured so maybe a while, but I don't expect her to be bedridden for too long seeing as her family is rich and give her their utmost attention." Sasuke answered, he was right. I've noticed she is healing quickly for the amount of damage she had.
"Sakura!" I heard before I felt a weight on my back. "Thanks for inviting me!" She cheered. "I asked my parents and they said it was perfectly fine with them since it was going to be with you. They got really protective of me ever since that incident. Honestly you just can't trust too many people these days."
She sure did like to talk, it's not like I mind or anything. It's actually refreshing to have someone so outgoing in the group.
"She's coming over?" Sasuke asked me.
"Um yea, sorry I forgot to mention that."
"It's fine, I'm sure Konan will be happy that there are more females in the house." Sasuke said and I could only laugh.
Soon the rest of our group arrived and we all walked home talking and laughing and I just couldn't help to think back a few weeks ago.
My life was so different, I didn't smile or laugh this much. I didn't love my life this much. All of these people here are my family and I had never wanted to protect something so much before.
"I like this group you guys are funny." Ino said as she instantly connected with the rest of the group.
I was having a conversation with Ino when suddenly someone screamed on the other side of the street.
All our heads turned to the area where we heard the scream and we just saw and old lady being robbed of her bag by someone.
"Hey stop right there!" Naruto screamed as he jumped in with Tenten and Neji following behind him.
The guy with the hood over his head let go of the bag and began to run away. I'm guessing since he didn't take anything they let him go. I saw them just going over to the old lady to help her up and suddenly I heard a raspy voice "You'll pay."
A sharp pain spread through my body and I realize I had been shanked, why couldn't I move?
Did I just get poisoned?
"Help." I began to say but I could feel it getting harder and harder.
"Help…" I whispered but everyone's attention was directed to that old lady they were helping and then I fell and bumped into Sasuke's back.
"What the- Hey Sakura you ok? Sakura?"
"H-he..lp." I could barely speak. "Poi…son." I managed to say and I saw Sasuke's eyes go wide before he told Shikamaru to help him place me on his back.
"Sakura got hurt!" Temari yelled and they instantly came running back but Sasuke was already long gone and running ahead of them.
Who …was that?
"No Sakura don't close your eyes!" I heard Sasuke yelling at me as I felt the wind blowing through my hair.
"If anything happens to you…Itachi…he…" Sasuke's voice began to become distant. "Never…..smile…..don't….him…..Sakura!" Then my world went black.
