The tall, slim, blonde stood silently in the women's bathroom, gazing at the mirror in deep thought. [When had Sakura changed so much? What is wrong with her?] A twang of guilt hit Ino sharply in the gut as she recalled the harsh words she had spat out at the pink haired chuunin. Shaking her head slightly, she exhaled and quietly spoke aloud "I shouldn't have said those things, I don't know what got into me…" The blonde bowed her head and thought about the discussion she and her boyfriend had a few days ago. Things between her and Sasuke were still a bit rocky, but they had managed to talk a few things out. He had mentioned that if Ino ever went off the deep end on Sakura again, he didn't think a relationship or even a friendship would work between them. Suddenly, it hit Ino with the speed of a freight train. [Iie! Could it really be?...] Sasuke was in love with Sakura, it's the only thing that could explain it. The way his eyes softened whenever he spoke about her, how he stood up for her, and how angry he became with Ino when ill words were spoken about the girl. Ino's eyes tracked up from the little bathroom sink back to the mirror; her eyes hinted the swell of tears. A tiny, pitiful smile tugged at her lips "looks like he was yours all along"

Sakura was furious, her dealer was almost 40 minutes late and she couldn't stop pacing back and forth in front of the Ramen Shop. Her bottom lip was slightly puckered from her nipping at it constantly and her eyes were very shifty. Sakura was completely on edge, her reflexes were cat-like and she flinched at any small and even subtle movement. Her somewhat odd and nervous behavior had certainly caught the ramen shop cooks' attention. The older man, who was stirring soup had cleared his voice and said "Excuse me miss, is everything alright? Please sit down." Sakura had paused and looked over in the old man's direction [Baka! You'll give yourself away if you keep acting so sketchy] Deciding her inner-self was probably right, Sakura decided to take a seat on one of the stools and waited quietly, but keeping still was almost an impossible task. She continued nipping at her bottom lip as she twiddled her fingers and tapped her foot on the ground, completely unaware that she was even being so fidgety. The faint sound of casual footsteps padded against the cobble ground as Sakura's head perked up. The hair on the back of Sakura's neck stood on end, notifying her of a presence behind her. She swiftly swiveled around on her stool to come face to face with a shady look man in his early twenties. [FINALLY!] Her mind screamed. She never thought she would be so ecstatic to see a certain person. [What is this familiar feeling?] Sakura had realized the only time she ever felt so happy about seeing somebody is when her eyes would catch the ever so handsome Sasuke. Shaking the uneasy feeling away, Sakura stood up with a great big grin on her face "How much did you bring?" she questioned.

"Follow me"
"Hai"

The two disappeared into a nearby alley so they wouldn't be seen. The man had dark hazel eyes and jet black hair, his voice was course as he spoke " This is really good shit. I was fucked up for days. Your gonna love it. I have ten points just waiting with your name on it, but I have to charge you more." Sakura's grin disappeared from her pink lips; she frowned slightly and rubbed her arms with her hands. She looked her dealer directly in the eyes before she asked "how much more?" The mysterious yet ruggedly handsome dealer leered at her before he answered "an extra 50 bucks"

"NANI!...an extra 50$, but I only brought 100$ with me, can't I just by 5 points from you then?" Sakura was slightly irritated with that fact that not only was her drug more expensive but that she would be purchasing less than she had hoped for; although it was his response which aggravated her even more. "Doesn't work that way, I gotta sell these 10 points within an hour. Boss's orders, gomen" He paused before his eyes slinked down her body then back up again "but for you, I can make you a, shall we say, special deal"

"hnn, I'm listening" Sakura replied flatly.
"If you help me live out a little fantasy of mine I'll give you the full 10 points for only 90$, that is of course if you're willing to help me. Are you willing to help me?" he leaned in closer, Sakura could feel his breath on her neck and his right hand trailed up her shoulders and cupped her soft cheek. "You'll help me, won't you Sakura?"
The attractive young woman was at a loss of words, not to mention breath. She couldn't believe the nerve this guy had to be asking her something so vile, but what she couldn't believe even more is that her inner- self was actually considering his bargain. [Hmm, well maybe if I just pretended it was Sasuke-kun, it wouldn't be so bad…10 points for 90$, that's a good deal… you won't have to come see him for a while...] Sakura hesitated for a moment before she tipped her head in a small nod. Her dealer grinned victoriously as he slipped the drugs in her pocket."That's my girl" was the last thing she heard before she could feel a pair of hot, lustful lips upon her own. Sakura's mind was racing [this feels so wrong, god why am I doing this?] His warm tongue darted across her lips, persuading her to open up to him, as his right hand was now behind her neck, pressing her mouth into his. [Just think of Sasuke, Sasuke, this is Sasuke] Her lips opened ever so carefully before she felt her own tongue respond to the one that was gently caressing her mouth. Their kiss had progressively become heated with such intensity that Sakura had actually forgotten that this wasn't Sasuke. Her arms snaked around his neck and she pulled him up against her. The man's left hand had found its way past Sakura's collarbone, down to the mound of sensitive flesh. He cupped her left breast in his hand and started kneading it, making Sakura emit a loan moan from the back of her throat.

Ino had sauntered out of the womens bathroom after a good 10 minutes of thinking about her and Sasuke's relationship, and the enigma that Sakura had now become. Ino couldn't shake the feeling that there was something terribly wrong with her pink haired rival. Before she had another chance to slip into another concentrated thought she heard a very well-known voice. "Hai, a miso ramen. Arigato." Naruto had plopped himself down on an ever familiar stool at the other end of the counter. Ino twisted herself around and faced the blonde haired chuunin, without saying a word she took a seat next to the fox boy. An aggravated look had appeared on Naruto's calm expression as he turned to Ino and faced her with angry blue eyes "Don't talk to me, not after what you said to Sakura-chan"

"wait-before you say anything" Ino said in a huff "I need to tell you something"
Naruto took a glance at the girl before him and realized that not only was her tone very serious but her eyes were serious as well. He let out a sight before he accepted "go on".
The blonde shifted her gaze as she looked at her clenched hands "I'm worried about Sakura. I know what I said to her might have been a little over the top, but I've never seen her in such terrible shape as a person. I ran into her in the bathroom and she looked horrible. She seemed so weak, and thin, and exhausted. Her nose was bleeding but she brushed it off as nothing. She was so cold Naruto; I've never seen eyes as empty as hers..." Ino looked back up at Naruto; her clear blue eyes confirmed a genuine sparkle of worry. The words Ino spoke sent chills down Naruto's spine; could it be that Sakura was listlessly deteriorating into nothing? [Go find her, Now!] Naruto followed the protective instinct that he had felt welling up in the pit of his stomach, he got up from the stool and looked over at Ino "I'm gonna go find Sakura-chan…you can have my ramen. Tell the chef I'll have to tell him my story some other day" With that, Naruto turned his back to Ino hoping to God he would find his dear friend soon.

The mysterious dark haired man was panting heavily as he massaged Sakura's full breasts, his hungry hazel eyes roamed all over her body and his crushing wet lips were kissing her hard. "Oh god, you're so amazing…I…need.to.fuck.you" his words came out in hot grunts. Sakura squeezed her eyes shut even tighter [Sasuke.Sasuke. this is Sasuke] She flinched when she felt a pair of rugged hands squeezing her ass, and pressing her against the wall. Her dealer was grinding into her and she could feel his burning arousal pushed up against her. Sakura couldn't handle all the dirty pleasure and emotions she was feeling, her eyes snapped open and tears streamed down her face. She pulled her lips away from his and whispered "Iie". Her body was shaking in fear, what had she done? Why was she doing this for drugs, what was she thinking? She could hear his somewhat angry voice invade her ears. "A deal is a deal, you need to hold up your end of the bargain, pretty little lady" His hands crept back around to Sakura's waist, underneath her dress. She could feel her black shorts being peeled off her skin before she let out a scream "Iie……YAMERO!!" The salty tears were pouring down her face as she prayed somebody could hear her plea for help.

AN: That's chapter 6! Wow, looks like Sakura's pretty much hit rock bottom here, I felt so bad that I even had to write that, how terrible! I'm gonna start working on chapter 7 right away- hang tight! I'll update as soon as possible. Thanks for reading.
