Title: Chapter 8

"Just to let you know, I got back together with Kaiya," Sasuke informed Sakura as she kind of wilted to one side as if she has been traumatized with the news. The two just stood in silence.

"Just kidding!" Sasuke burst out with a wink and Sakura sweat dropped and then joined in with Sasuke's laughing, but then paused.

"No...really, what are you doing here?" Sakura switched back to her serious self.

"I told you...I came here to give you my consent of forgiving you," Sasuke scuffed a rock with his shoe on the smooth pavement.

"Sasuke..." a not-convinced look appeared on Sakura's face.

"All right all right! FINE, I came here to tell you...that...uh, well,...I can help you," Sasuke looked up.

"You can't help me!" Sakura opposed his idea. Her hands were crossed in front of her chest, and she was kind of getting irritated, and the German Shepherds were nearby.

Kaiya let her head appear out of her small window as she looked out into the city's view. Her long lavender hair flew with the wind while her hair barrette held some back as she looked down at her home's driveway. She then smiled and went downstairs in her denim capris and in a long sleeve shirt that was laced at the sleeves.

"Hey, I was just checking up on you," Hinata smiled while Kaiya looked at the dark-haired girl's clothes. She was dressed all in black.

"Wow, since when did you start wearing those clothes?" Kaiya had a worried look on her face as she crept up closer to her best friend.

"Uh, ever since I went shopping?" Hinata slightly blushed as Kaiya took a glimpse of her clothes as if she was evaluating her clothes like a fashion model.

"Hinata, let me tell you something," Kaiya held Hinata's hand and led her down the street. The two walked in silence together when they reached the park. There were two oak trees which allowed an abundance of shade to some solitary swings that is currently occupied with some toddlers and their guardians.

"Hinata, girl...you need to know something," she rested herself on some cool grass while the sun shimmered onto her pale skin, "you don't have to be like us...be yourself. I mean, seriously, look at yourself...you were this wonderful shy girl, and then all of a sudden you come walking down like a gangster,"

"So what are you trying to say?" Hinata looked at her clothes.

"I'm just saying that you should be yourself, just because everyone wears black doesn't mean that you have to," Kaiya flashed a kind smile which made Hinata feel comfortable. The two girls both sat in the shade in silence, until Hinata looked at the girl next to her and sighed.

"Kaiya?" Hinata asked while she could tell that the lavender-haired girl was preoccupied with something.

"Yeah?" she turned to her as she shifted her position towards Hinata.

"Do you still have feelings for Sasuke?" Hinata fidgeted with her hands as usual.

"Sakura, I really want to help you," a sincere look came across the raven-haired boy. He took a step closer to Sakura, but she flinched and one of the German Shepherds growled and bared his sharp canine teeth. ((Damn, I love those dogs ))

Sakura's emerald green eyes shone with curiosity and blinked twice. Sasuke took another step closer and reached his hand toward her...and then Sakura turned away and walked away.

"I don't need your help,"

Sasuke was then left alone with the two dogs, who were growling deeply with their sharp teeth. "What? I wanted to help," he then walked away ignoring the animals.

"Stupid bitches," ((That was supposed to be funny ))

Kaiya looked up at the clear blue sky and crept up a smile and looked at Hinata, "Way over," with a reply as a smile Hinata then relaxed herself into a position and the two sat in silence.

Sakura approached the living room with her arms wrapped around herself as if protecting herself from everything around her. Mrs. Haruno came from the kitchen and had a worried look on her face, "There you are honey, there was a young boy who was looking for you..." sadly, Sakura ignored her mother's words and ran up the spiral stairs.

"Dinner will be ready in five minutes!" She yelled and then sighed as she went back to the kitchen as Mr. Haruno looked up from his newspaper in his office and then resumed back to his reading.

With the door closed behind her, Sakura fell to the ground onto her knees and looked at her balcony and a tear strolled down her cheek. "Why did this have to happen to her?" she thought. With a teary sob, she landed on top of her bed and fluffed her pillow and set her small head onto it. With a few minutes of contemplation, she then went over to her phone and dialed her friend's number...but then hanged up.

She then walked over to her balcony and stood behind the curtains so Sasuke wouldn't see her from downstairs. When she slid open the window, she peered from the balcony and found that her two puppies were the only ones outside. Sakura then turned to her right and then let out a scream.

"Sasuke! What are you doing here? How did you get up here?" the startled girl looked at Sasuke.

With a smile he then answered, "your balcony got fixed...I could tell,"

Sakura turned around and headed back to her room, but Sasuke followed. "Stop following me around! Or else I'm going to have you arrested for trespassing!" she then walked back but Sasuke went in the way and blocked her path with a determined look in his eyes.

"Fine," he then left by climbing off the balcony onto a ladder with some of the vines and roses stripped around it.

The pink-haired girl looked down the balcony and then she heard the voice of her mother and sound coming up the stairs. "I'm not hungry,"

Mrs. Haruno sighed and looked at her daughter and was horrified that Sakura got skinnier, and her once lively radiance now disappeared with a cold and lonely radiance now floating around her.

"You haven't eaten for days honey, can't you just eat something? I could go get some fast food if you want me to, I just want you to get back to eating..." her mother sat down on her bed, "is there something that you haven't told me? Are you pregnant?"

"Mom! Hell no!" Sakura yelled back, "God! To think that you would even consider me doing these things!" without a response from her mother, she ran downstairs.

"Sakura!" her mother called out to her.

Her father in the study room looked up from his newspaper and saw a crying and running Sakura coming down the stairs and going out the door. His wife came running down the stairs after her daughter but stopped and looked at her husband.

"What kind of father do you think you are?" she darted toward him with a dirty look.

"I know what's best for our daughter, she just needs time to think, that's all," his father sighed and went back to his work. However, his wife swept away his work which then flew into piles onto the floor.

"What's best? You think you know what's best for our daughter? LOOK AT HER!" Mrs. Haruno pointed to where Sakura left and tears came streaming down, "she doesn't eat...she doesn't say anything to us...she doesn't call...for goodness' sakes! Tell me then, that there is nothing wrong with our daughter!" Mr. Haruno held his arms around his wife and comforted her and looked at a small portrait of their little girl, Sakura.
