It was friday evening and the guys were out spending some time with their girlfriends while I sat down on the couch watching TV in the pool house. Sasuke was now gone for five hours already saying he must take care of something and was angry when he wrote me What are you doing? and I replied watching TV and he asked with who and I answered by my own, the others are out with their gf's.

Two more hours went by and I still watched TV. I was sad that my boyfriend left me alone eventhough we knew he'd be gone for about two or three weeks.

"Maybe I should make myself Dinner.", I talked to myself and looked through the shelves and decided to make something simple with pasta.

There was a knock on the door and I looked the clock. It was already past 8, was that Sasuke? The sky slowly turned dark and it was not possible to look through the see through glasses anymore and I remembered that I did not lock the door again.

You're never going to learn that until something bad happens!

I rolled my eyes at myself and took the knife that was next to me. Sasuke would not knock, he would just come in so who could that be?

"Who is that?!", I yelled through the glas door which was covered with curtain and held the knife tight. I was ready for whatever was coming at me. Nobody would get me down again.

"Open up already!". Sasuke's dark voice boomed through the door and the grip on the knife loosened as I let out a breath of relief.

"Hey, where have... what is that?", I asked as soon as the pet carrier.

Sasuke walked in and carefully closed the door with his foot. "Your late birthday present.", he put the carrier down and walked to me giving me a sweet kiss on my lips.

"Missed you. What's with that knife?", he raised his eyebrows. "Oh, I was just making dinner and I had the knife in my hand when you knocked.", one little lie wouldn't hurt. He would surely talk again about how unsafe I am when I'm alone.

"What did you use it for?", he asked again looking at the counter. "I see pasta and sauce.", he raised his brows at me. "Don't tell me you forgot again to close the door?", he groaned.

"Don't be like that now. What's in...", I was interrupted by a little meow and I gasped. "You did not!", I put my hands on my mouth to keep myself from screaming and got on my knees to open the box.

My heart was fluttering as I saw the most beautiful white cat and it's blue eyes made their way directly in my heart. I took the little kitty out which was purring already and tears rushed down my face.

"Oh my god, thank you!", I cried probably looking like a 10 Year old that gets a pet.

"Naruto told me you were the biggest Sailor Moon fan when you were younger. His name is Artemis.", he smiled lightly down at us and stroke the cats head gently. "I know he probably won't be able to keep you safe but at least you won't be alone here.".

My heart pumped as I looked up to see Sasuke's face with a beautiful smile on it. "That's why you were gone for so long?".

"Yes, I had to drive quite far to get him, he probably is already hungry already. The cat toilet and food is in front of the door.".

As I watched Sasuke carrying the big boxes in I couldn't help but think about just how good he was to me. He tried his best to keep me safe and happy and my fast beating heart told me that my feelings were true. I put Artemis down and he started to walk through the place and to Sasuke.

Taking his head in my hands I crashed my lips on his. His big hands found their way to my back and pushed me more to him. The kiss was full of affection and I broke it for a second to make him look at me.

"I love you. I love you from the bottom of my heart, Sasuke.", I whispered. The suprised look in his black eyes faded and was replaced with love as our noses touched and he let out a pleased sigh. "You make me so happy.", he answered so quiet that I thought about hearing wrong. "Now, how about we make Artemis a comfortable place here and eat the pasta you made with a knife?", he chuckled and raised a perfect brow at me.

Our last night went by too fast and my heart hurt when I watched the boys get in that little tourbus.

"Promise me you'll call if..."

"It will all be okay, Sasuke. Don't worry. Call me when you find the time okay? I'll miss you.", I said and hugged him tightly. I felt uncomfortable showing love like that in front of Naruto but it would be the last time that I saw him for a while.

"Take care. Always lock the doors. Always carry your phone with you.", he mumbled into my hair. "Artemis will fight anyone off.", I laughed to ease the tension and his chest trembled lightly while he laughed. We kissed goodbye and I stood there watching the bus drive off and instantly I felt alone.

The next first days were okay. I took care of Artemis and played with him, even teached him to give paw. He didn't like tuna or anything else except his food as I found out and the first week went by very quick. I told Kakashi about Artemis and he even came around to play with him in the second week.

"You know, I'm more of a dog man.", he laughed as Artemis sat on his lap and purred. When Kakashi went home I decided to call Sasuke.

"Hey."

"Hey.", I answered. "How are you?"

"Is he gone already?"

"Already? It's already past 11 on a thursday.", I laughed. "We both will see each other tomorrow morning at work again."

Sasuke mumbled something about not knowing that he should be glad that he's gone now or if he should've stayed in a guestroom.

"Artemis is really a good cat. He's lightening up my mood when I see him. Just sometimes he decideds to play hide and seek with me."

We talked about how his days were, how mine were and he said that they could probably be back by next sunday already.

"That would be awesome!"

"Can't wait to see you again.", he whispered and I felt my face reddening at the thought of what we could do.

We hung up and I laid down in my bed thinking about how much I missed Sasuke while I petted Artemis. He would always come and sleep next to me.

The days went by without any incidents. The only thing was that I felt so uncomfortable walking around because of the cameras that I stayed most of the time in the poolhouse.

I was glad when I woke up and realised it was Saturday morning already. I started to clean the poolhouse and even helped Mr Strawhat with some bushes. He was also in love with Artemis and had some treats in his pants so that he could pamper him.

Time flew by and the sun was shining outside. I was lying on the bed with Artemis by my side, scrolling through my phone when I heard a sound.

It definately was a door. Were the guys home already? It was just two in the afternoon? I jumped out of my bed with a big grin on my face and ran towards the door but no one was outside. Maybe they were inside the house? Only wearing socks I hastily walked to the house door and opened it easily without a key.

"Hah, see, they're home!", I squeaked excitedly and walked into the kitchen. "Hello?!", I yelled.

No one answered. Weird. "Heeellloo?!", I yelled again but still no one answered.

A thousand thoughts were running through my head. Maybe Sasuke is up in his room? Why would he open the door and not come to me?

Did I really hear a door sound? But wait a minute? I calmly looked around.

Did I leave the door open? No that's not possible. I locked every door that would lead in the house right after the guys left, I made sure that they really were closed.

So who opened it?

This is a very bad sign. Go back to the poolhouse right now!

My inner commanded, practically screamed at me for going back but the fear wouldn't let me move.

It couldn't be him.

That was just not possible.

I told myself I would not run away again and walked to the counter and took a sharp knife and put a small one behind my back and placed it safely between my underwear and pants so that no one would notice it.

I can't believe you! Get away! What are you doing for fucks sake!

I know! It's probably nothing I'll just take a quick look! With that I walked as quiet as possible into the living room.

"Sasuke? Is that you?", my voice crackled as I called him and I heard something fall upstairs.

"S-Sasuke?", I yelled and tried to be brave.

Nothing.

Not a single sound anymore. That's not Sasuke.

Really now, Sherlock. Get away from here, now!

Slowly I made my way backwards out of the livingroom but stood still as I heard something outside. My head turned so quickly I thought it would snap off. Automatically I put the knife in front of me as if something would come at me any second. The pumping of my heart was so loud, I shook my head to get that sound out of my head. I had to listen if there would be any other noise. I had to get away, but how?

I heard noise outside, maybe someone jumped out of the window? Was it just a plain burglar? I could run downstairs into Kibas room.

What if he was long gone by now because he heard me? That person must have jumped out. I decided not to go outside anymore but up the stairs and lock myself in Shikamaru's room and look out of the window if I could see that person.

As I reached the stairs it hit me.

That smell.

This perfume.

It's him.

The knife I held like a shield in front of me slowly dropped out of my hand and I felt myself stop breathing as my mouth opened lightly. A million thoughts ran through my head and all the braveness left me. His scent filled my nostrills and made me feel lightheaded.

I needed to get out of here! Out of this house! Far away from this property, so far away that he would not get close to me ever again!

But oh dear lord, no! My keys! They were still in the poolhouse just like my phone! My fingers tore on my hair and I am not sure anymore but I think I ripped out a few strands.

Well, I guess were fucked now.

No, no, no! This just couldn't be the end of this here! I had to get away but I couldn't get to my car or open the main door or the fence for goodness sake! The goosebumps rose on my body and there was just no way to get out of here.

Artemis! Oh god, no! I had to get to him, I couldn't leave him here alone with him! I took the knife again in my shaking hand and quietly walked towards the kitchen and into the garden. Looking from left to right I made sure he was no where to be seen. My heart beat rapidly every quick, silent step I took towards the poolhouse and I let out a deep breath when I entered the room.

"Don't you have a nice little kitty. It's colour suits your personality. All innocent."

I did not even have to look at him. The knife fell instantly down next my feet and my eyes widened.

"Aw, how cute! Are you suprised, babe?", he asked laughing softly and I tried to move my head to look at him but it felt so heavy.

"What? Now you can't even look at me?", he sighed. "I have been waiting for you so long, Sakura. You can't imagine how much pain I felt when you left me.". His voice did not lie when he said that but I reminded myself that acting was his job.

The room was silent for a while and I couldn't move a muscle.

"Look at me.", he demanded and I blinked a few times trying to clear my thoughts.

"NOW!", he yelled with such power that my head moved instantly without waiting for my permission and that's when I first saw him.

He sat on the kitchentable, Artemis laid on his lap trying to get away from him but Dean's hands held him tight.

"Please don't hurt him!", I pleaded with a whisper feeling my heart ache at Artemis' uneasiness. Dean's bright blue eyes had so much fire in them and I knew what that meant. He would beat the shit out of me any minute. "Let him go, please!".

"You honestly think I would hurt a little kitty because of what you did wrong, Sakura? You know how much I love animals!", with that he let go and Artemis ran out of the pool house.

I hope that he finds a place to hide. He better not be near him.

Dean slid down the table and I had a good look at him. His light blue jeans fit perfectly and you were able to see his strong thighs. He wore an olive, very tight fitting, Shirt with a V Neck. His arms were tanned and also very strong and big. I wondered how much more time he spent with training, he looked much more muscular than a few months back.

He brushed his dirty blonde hair with his left hand and I saw his muscles moving.

He would definately catch me easily with these legs and he could kill me with just one hit of those muscular arms.

His white teeth showed as he grinned and me and I realized that he still looked beautiful.

"Now, why don't you come here and give me a hug? It's been such a long time.", he grinned and took one step forward making me jump one backwards, nearly tripping over myself.

"Stay where you are!", I squeaked and to my suprise he stood still.

"Babe, I know I have done some things that weren't nice..."

"That weren't nice?", I felt anger rising and interrupted him. "You threatend me with a gun!", I pointed shakily with my finger at him and he sighed and held his hands up.

"You got me there. That's true. But I promise you that I changed.", he smiled sincerely and I felt my heart beating slow down.

Don't let him near you! You know he is lying! My inner screamed.

"Stay where you are!", I growled, a sound I did not know I was capable of doing. "I already contacted the police! They will be here any minute!". Dean only answered with a laugh and looked at me.

"How did you contact them? Your phone is here", he grabbed it out of his pocket and put it back. "And I cut the telephone lines.", he said and shrugged his shoulders as if it was the most normal thing in the world.

I tried to think of something but the only thing that came in my mind was the knife on the floor. I hastily took it with my shaking hand and held it towards him. "Don't come near me!", I yelled again. "Honestly, I do not want to hurt you but if you'll come close I will!", with the other hand I tried to find the door behind me and as soon as I felt it I quickly ran out of the pool house.

But I didn't come very far. I heard him running after me and with one jump we landed on the gras while he was on my back. "Ooph!", I yelped and tried to turn around with the knife still in my hand.

I tried everything that was in my power to stab him but I was just not strong enough. His grip on my right wrist was hard while he laid with his elbow on my left arm. I felt his weight on it stopping my blood. Suddenly I remembered Neji's self defence lessons and I knew what to do.

"If there is really no way to push your thumbs into his eyes or kick him in the nuts... then there is only one way of trying to get away. You have to use your head."

A few weeks ago I thought he meant I should think of something but now I knew what to do.

Adrenaline pumped through my veins as I knocked my head against his. It was short but very effective and as I hit him he suddenly jolted back holding his head in his hands.

"You stupid bitch! Ah!".

While Dean was still suprised holding his forehead which was bleeding a little I took the chance to get up and run inside the house. The headache I had made me feel dizzy but I had no time to think about it. I closed the door and stood now again in the kitchen and was about to run upstairs when the door was kicked in.

"Do you really think you would get rid of me that easily?", Deans voice was low and dark and there was no blood on his forehead. Automatically my hand touched my forehead and I hissed. Damn, that was my blood. My belly made weird noises but I overheard it.

My chest went up and down from breathing heavily.

"What do you want from me!", I yelled while hot tears were forming in my eyes. "What did I ever do to you to make you hate me so much? I loved you!", my voice was pleading for peace.

Deans mouth formed a nice smile. "You know I still love you, that's why I can't let you stay here any longer.", he sighed. "I can offer you that either you'll come with me voluntarily or I'll make you."

"What the hell? I'd rather die than come with you!", I screamed and ran as fast as I could upstairs. Dean did slowly walk behind me which made me even more nervous. Why didn't he run after me?

I did not know here any rooms except for Shikamaru's and Sasuke's room and Naruto's hideout. That's it! I ran past Shikamaru's room and took the third door and opened it as quiet as I could using the extra time after not hearing Dean come after me.

This room was more of a storage room. They had some cans and drinks in here and I put away some pieces of the woodwall. The hideout was big enough for one small person now luckily that Naruto ate most of the ramen already. I tried my best to put the pieces of wood again in front of me but that was nearly not possible so I put the vacuum cleaner in front of the hole and slowed down my breath. Why did he give me extra time? That bastard wanted to play hide and seek!

Minutes went by and my back started to freeze. This hole that Naruto made was right next to the brick stones the house was made of. With shaking hands I touched my forehead and felt sick when my fingertips felt the bruise. I have put so much power in this and only hurt myself. Sighing I placed my pounding head against the cold surface and tears made their way down my cheeks.

When would the police be here? Sasuke made sure that there was someone always looking at the live footage since we installed the cameras. Surely that person had already contacted the police and they would be here any second and put Dean behind bars for good. I just had to stay for a few more moments.

I didn't know how many minutes passed when I suddenly heard the door open and he turned on the lights. I pressed my eyes closed and hoped that if I didn't see him then he would not see me. Trying to become one with the wall I let out a sigh of relief when he rushed away, leaving the door slightly open.

My mouth opened and I put my hands in front of it to stop making any noise. I was so scared! How could I only get away from him? I wanted to cry so badly.

My thoughts went to Sasuke. I love this man so much, I only confessed my feelings to him and now I would die in Dean's hands. And Naruto. How could I only do this to him? Dean broke in because of me and my cousin did not deserve to live in fear of someone breaking into his life.

His steps sounded as if he was now walking upstairs in Sasuke's big room.

We have to get away now! The police is not coming anymore! They should have been here already! GO GO GO!"

My brain instantly thought about a hundred ways to get out of here and they all ended with getting out of this property by using the freaking key and I left that in my purse in the poolhouse. Dean had my mobile phone but did he also get the keys? I had to check it because rotting here was no option anymore.

My body was aching from being stuck in this cold, small place and when I finally made it out without a sound I had to stretch a little.

Sneaking out of the door I looked from left to right. He was not there and I did not hear him anymore. He probably rummaged through Sasuke's closets upstairs. I slowly walked towards the stairs and when I finally reached them I tried to look around if I could see anybody there.

"Boo.", he whispered in my ear and I spun around. There he was just a few inches away from my face, he was so close I saw myself in his blue eyes.

The next move happened in slow motion. Dean lifted his hands to my shoulders and gave a hard push making me fall over the edge.

His eyes were dark, his face with no emotion. He looked like he did not even care that I could break my neck just now. I tried to hold on to anything but my fall was not stoppable.

While I hit every single step with either my back, head or legs I did not really feel the pain from the knife that cut itself into my lower back.

"Ohh.", I quietly groaned. I opened my eyes and saw with a blurry vision Dean walking the stairs down slowly.

"Weird, why is there blood on the stairs? Did you hit your head again?", he stood still a few steps above me while I pushed myself with shaky arms up.

"Take your time, don't rush getting up.", his voice was gentle. Stupid psychopath! The pain was everywhere and I felt something running down my cheek and looked at my hand. Blood.

Shit.

My pulse quickened. This time I had to be strong.

Dean slowly came closer and I ran, or more I kind of waggled my way into the living room. I could not go back to the poolhouse he would be right after me and I probably would not come out again. His steps were quick after me and I limped around the table. Seeing him standing there drove me crazy and I started to throw things at him.

"What the fuck! Stop that!", he yelled while dodging a vase that split on the floor after it missed his head. Quickly jumping over the sofa he stood now in right in front of me, the only thing keeping us apart was the table.

"Please just go!", I pleaded and cried. "Please leave me alone!". Dean's answer was a cold laugh. He took the table and pushed it easily to the side while I tried to get away.

Screaming when he pulled his arms around me I took a hold of the curtains ripped it down. The curtain pole fell down on him and screaming in pain he let go of me. Taking my chance I tried to move as far away as I could which was not far. Being pushed down the stairs was quite painful. I knew lot of pain but that was again something new. "Get here, Sakura!", I heard him yell behind me and grabbed the big vase that was next to me and smashed it down behind me hoping that it would stop him from coming near me.

"This is the last time I ask for you to come with me! If you still wanna play, no problem! BUT WE'LL DO IT MY WAY!", he yelled so loud my ears were about to explode. I haven't seen him being so angry for a long time and then I heard it.

BOOM!

A scream left my body without me even realising it. My body grew stiff and was not able to move anymore as I looked to my right. He shot right next to my head, the bullet was stuck in the wall, making it crumble lightly.

He took big steps towards me and turned me around and a big hard slap followed. He screamed at me, slapped me again, shoved me. I was in agony, mentally and physcially.

"Did you honestly think I would not find you? Then you go eventhough I told you to fucking stay at home, bitch! And there you go abusing my trust in you just like that! I was so worried when I called and no one picked up the fucking phone!", again a slap. All the while my body stood still, accepting his punishment just like it always did.

"Tell me! Tell me our rule number 8!", he shook my shoulders, making my head spin even more.

"N-Never leave without your permission.", I stuttered and couldn't even look him in the eyes.

"Damn right! So tell me what was going on inside your stupid head!", he poked my forehead roughly, pushing his finger inside my fresh wound. I didn't feel any pain, the thought of dying now any second now kept my body from feeling any pain. I didn't feel any pain in my head, body or the wound on my back from the knife that was still in place.

"I.. I"

"You.. You", he mimicked me. "You what? You thought you would just leave me! YOU WILL NOT LEAVE ME!", he roared. He was so loud, surely some neighbours must have heard the shot and our screamings? On the other side, the next neighbours were almost never at home. That's why the guys chose this here as their home. Also the big building probably sucked all noises in and nothing would leave the house.

"You don't care about me! Or my feelings!", Deans blue eyes looked crazy as his face reddened and while yelling he even spitted causing me to close my eyes every now and then.

"You are not even worthy enough for my love! You should be glad that I'll take you back!", he still yelled just a few inches away from me, his lips brushing my forehead as he yelled down at me.

"Love?", I whispered and finally had enough power to look up. "This is what you call love? Hurting me? Shoot at me? You even tried to strangle me once! That is not love, you asshole!".

Slap. The slap was so hard that it made my head spin.

"What did you call me!"

"You heard me, asshole!", I yelled back this time and pushed him taking him by suprise. He took two small steps back as he looked at me.

"I see. That Sasuke guy manipulated you! Look how tainted you already are! We'll have a lot of work to do getting you back to your old person. He ruined you!".

I turned my back to him, trying to walk away but he grabbed me from behind. I screamed and kicked around trying to get away but he was just too strong. Having nothing left to lose, I packed all of my power again into my head and as it touched his nose he yelped and let go of me. Just as I was about to run away again his left hand grabbed mine and spun me around.

My eyes started to blur as our bodys touched and I knew that this would be my last chance to get away as I felt my body screaming and loosing power.

I quickly pulled out the small knife that was still between my pants and back. The feeling in my chest, that hard pumping heart, I just knew I had to do this.

There was no chance to get away except for this. Never in my live I have felt hate like this before.

I would end this, now.

The knife's blade cutted my back as I pulled it out and I felt it ripping my skin but I did not care. I couldn't even feel that pain anymore.

With one stab I pushed it quickly into his side and Dean yelled in pain letting go of me again while taking out the knife.

"You whore! What the fuck!", he pressed his hand against the bleeding wound.

Sorry, Sakura. We did not have enough power to push it deeper.

The knife was about one inch in his body, it would not kill him. Reality hit me hard and tears started to form in my eyes as I knew that this would be now the end of me.

Dean's blonde hair was tousled, his face red, his olive shirt a little red as he pulled away his hand to look underneath it and at his wound.

My ears went deaf as the tears flooded down my cheeks and my shoulders lost any tension that was left in my body. Not even my legs were able to carry me anymore, I slumped down on the floor. I looked at Dean's face and saw him yelling angrily at me while he cleaned his bloodmeared hand on his shirt. I saw the rage in his eyes when he stomped towards me and I tried to slap his hands away but was just too weak for that. Still yelling at me he grabbed a bunch of my hair and made me stand again.

The ache went from my toes to my head, there was not a single spot on my body that was okay.

Dean let go of my hair. "This is the final straw, I won't put up with you anymore, you stupid ass bitch!". His big hand grabbed my neck from behind roughly and we walked quickly towards a wall and with one hard, last push he slammed my head against the wall. I heard something cracking but did not know where this sound came from. The wall? My forehead? My nose?

The last thing I heard was my inner apologizing at myself.

I am sorry.

I guess that's it guys? how did you like that chapter?
