"Sakura, what happened to you?"

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"Sasuke, l-listen... S-something r-r-really b-ba-bad happened t-to m-m-me and I r-r-really c-c-ca-can't talk a-a-about it." said Sakura.

"Sakura, I thought we could talk about anything. You know I would listen to you no matter what. Now tell me what happened." said a very serious Sasuke.

"S-s-s-Sai, h-he came and h-h-h-hurt m-me r-r-re-really b-b-bad."

"Sai? He did this to you? I'll kill him!"

"Sasuke, please don't." Sakura pleaded.

"No one hurts you that way. Not even Sai. I would even kill Naruto if he did something like this to you."

"But Naruto wouldn't do something like this. Naruto wouldn't seep that low. Even for him." Sakura said seriously.

"I was just using him as an example!" Sasuke said annoyed.

"Oh. Okay."

"Listen, I want you to pack your bags. You are coming to stay at my house for awhile." said Sasuke.

"NO! I WON'T! I WON'T DO IT! I WILL NOT LEAVE THIS HOUSE UNTIL I AM READY TOO!"

"Sakura! You-are-in-danger." Sasuke said a little pissed. "You CAN'T stay here. YOU CANNOT STAY! ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?"

Sakura started crying. "Don't yell!" she said covering her ears and curling up into a ball. "Please don't yell. You're scaring me Sasuke. Listen, I am pretty much afraid of any male person because of what happened. I don't trust ANYONE right now."

"Sakura, now even me? ME, your boyfriend?" said an upset Sasuke.

"I don't trust anyone right now. I'm sorry Sasuke." Sakura said as she started crying.

Sasuke looked like he had just been slapped.

"Then you're going to learn how to trust me again. Even if it kills me."

"Sasuke..."

"No Sakura. I love you too much to see you in this much pain. And Sai WILL regret doing this to you. He will."

"But..."

"Yeah, now I bet your gonna freak out at training practices now. Since it's me, Naruto, and Kakashi-sensei. And we are all boys."

"Not funny Sasuke. So not funny. I mean, this is something really major to me. And you're just making jokes about it."

"Sakura... I'm so sorry. Please forgive me. I wasn't thinking."

"You never think! You think everything is a big joke! I mean, look at me! I'm a nervous wreck! And all you can do is make jokes! Do you think that I am supposed to feel ANY better over this? Honestly! How do you think I am supposed to react? Happy? Sad? Laughter? Honestly! How do you expect me to react! Tell me Uchina!"

Sasuke shuddered. 'Must be pmsing' he thought.

"Tell me... If you want to use you male parts again."

"Ok ok ok! I don't know. I was just trying to lighten up the mood around here."

"And?"

"I took no consideration of your feelings over this and I am honestly and truly sorry. Can you ever find it in your heart to forgive me?"

"Well. Just don't do it again."

"Thank you Sakura." he said as he hugged her.

Sakura started screaming. "Don't touch me!"

"Sakura, its ok. I won't hurt you."

"DON'T TOUCH ME!"

"Sakura, you'll be fine..."

"I SAID DON'T TOUCH ME!"

Sasuke quickly let go of her and Sakura calmed down.

"So lemme get this straight. You can freely talk to a male, but they can't touch you?" said a confused Sasuke.

Sakura glared at him. "You know, I'm pretty freaked out even talking to you right now. I'm just not showing it."

"Oh. Well, then there is one thing we have to do."

"And what is that mister smarty pants?"

"You are going to face your fears. Starting tomorrow, you are going to get your butt outside and your gonna face this like a women."

"SASUKE! YOU JUST CAN'T DO THAT TO ME!"

"Sakura," Sasuke began. "Listen to me. You are going to do this. You WILL do this. You really have no say in the matter." Sasuke said sternly.

Now it was Sakura's turn to look like she had been slapped in the face.

"You... You... You have no right to do this to me! It's MY life not YOURS."

"I'm sorry."

"Okay."

"But, we are doing one thing."

"And what is that?"

"Tomorrow, you, me, and Naruto. You are going to learn to trust us again. Or at least be able to be around us. Okay?" Sasuke asked trying not to sound mean.

"Ummm... Okay. Just, if I want to stop. Stop okay?"

"Whatever you want sweetheart."

Sakura twitched but then smiled.

"Thank you Sasuke..."
