CHAPTER 2

Gaara walked off and Naruto ran to his friend's sides, "What was that dobe. You didnt get hit?" Sasuke spat as he hugged his sides in pain. Her damn kicks and punches hurt. I'm glad I didnt fight her in class earlyer.

"I told her I didnt do anything, bastard. God I think you should go to the nurse. She hit you really hard." Naruto said helping Sasuke to his feet.

Neji was now sitting on the ground holding his head. "Damn that bitch. I hope she rotes in hell." he mumbled under his breath. "Sasuke I feel bad for you. When Elaina (OC) comes back you'll have to sit with forehead bitch."

"At least she's better then Tashia (OC)." Naruto smirked. "So when's the wedding?" he asked pissing off Sasuke.

"When I drop dead." he smirked. The bell suddenly rang and they all went to class. Sasuke and Neji could barley walk so Naruto was there helping.

In the hall Naruto stopped by Hinata's locker. "Hey Hinata-chan. Whats up?" he asked with a smile.

Hinata blushed and said, "I think you might want to stay away from Sakura. She's kinda mad." Hinata stated without studdering. "If she sees you see might get mad."

"Hinata-chan." Sakura's voice rang. "Help me!" she screamed running away from thousands of boys with gifts and flowers.

Sakura ran and hid between Naruto and Hinata. She hid in the fetal posishion on the floor hidden in the shadow of her friends. "Sakura why are those guys running after you?" Tenten asked as she helped Sakura up.

"Asking for dates and that kind of stuff. Hey Naruto." Sakura smiled. "So where's Chiken hair and his boyfriend?" she asked noticing that Sasuke and Neji werent with him.

"At the nurse." Naruto whispered softly but everyone heard.

"SAKURA-CHAN WHAT DID YOU DO?" They all asked at the same time. Sakura gave an inocent grin and said.

"I got mad thats all. I didnt want Lee to get hurt so I hit them a couple times?" She was blushing.

"What are you talking about. You almost sent Neji into a concushion. Sasuke broke a rib and you think thats nothing?" Naruto asked. He noticed the look on her face and smiled, "You are the only girl that I know that made UCHIHA SASUKE scared. Great job." Sakura's face didnt change.

"I gotta go. Kakashi wanted to see me about something." She whispered sadly as she walked away.

Tenten and Hinata sighed. "I think she needs some time to herself." they both whispered softly and sadly.

FOUR HOURS LATER, AFTER SCHOOL

"Sakura?" a voice whispered. Sakura turend around to see a boy from her class. "Are you alright Sakura you seem sad."

Sakura knew the boy's name so she smiled. "Hey Shikamaru. Hows it been?" They both went and sat on a hill looking at the clouds.

Shikamaru smiled, "I saw the Uchiha-bastard in the nurse's today. Do you know what happened?" Shikamaru turned to her sad face and said, "Did you really do that?"

Sakura nodded still looking at the clouds. "They almost killed Lee. He had 14 fracturs in each rib. Inturnal blood lose and a thousand other things." Sakura whispered.

"You know you'd make a great medic if you stopped causing the injeries." Shikamaru smiled at her as she smiled back. This girl is willing to stand up to Uchiha even though she's new. I like her style. She hasnt changed over the years.

"Thanks Nara. You can be a great friend when you're not being lazy." Sakura smiled getting up. "I gotta go but I'll talk to you in class." Sakura left giving Shikamaru a shining smile.

Sakura walked to her house still thinking that she had hurt Sasuke a little to much. Maybe I did hit him hard but he was hurting Lee even worse. I had to help I couldnt just stand around. Maybe I should just move again. Suddenly a crack of lighting made the rain fall. I knew it was going to rain sometime today but why now.

Sakura walked in the rain hoping that she wouldnt have to go back to school anytime soon. She walked to the park and sat in the rain with her eyes closed and a smile plastered on her face. "I love the rain." she whispered to herself.

"What are you doing out here. You'll ketch a cold." a voice whispered. Sakura turned to see a man with black hair. "Come on. you can stay at my house intell the rain stops." he said giving her his coat.

"Thank you." Sakura whispered softly as she walked aside the man. They walked just down the road to a huge house. "Is this your house?" Sakura asked softly.

"Yeah. My younger brother and I live here while our parents are away. Come on inside." he whispered opening the door for her. "I'm sorry. I didnt get your name?"

"Haruno Sakura. And you?" Sakura asked with a smile again.

The man didnt answer. As they both walked into the family room the man yelled, "Little Brother could you grab a towel or two." up the stairs.

Suddenly a towel was thrown down. "There you go. Happy." a voice said. Sakura reconized the voice.

Was that Sasuke? Suddenly the towel was shuved in her face. "Oh... Thank you..." she stopped hoping he would say his name.

"Itachi, thats my name. Ms. Haruno may I ask why you're covered in burises?" he asked sitting next to her on the couch.

Sakura blushed as she whiped her face with the towel. "I got in a fight with some jerks at school. And we were kickboxing in gym."

"I see." Itachi said as he leaned back. "Do you go to Konoha High?" he asked reseiving a nod from Sakura. "You must be in the same grade as my brother then." Sakura gave him a look. "Sorry. My brother's name is Uchiha Sasuke."

Sakura started to caugh. Oh great. Isnt this karma. I beat the shit out of that punk and his brother is the greatest person on earth.

"He came back really hurt from school today. He said he got in a fight with a group of collage kids. Was that true?" Itachi asked seeing the blush on Sakura's cheeks.

"What are you doing here, Pinky." taunted a voice that Sakura knew oh so well. Sakura's head lifted to see a bandaged up Sasuke. "Itachi why is she here?" He asked even mader after not resieving an answer.

"Shut up bastard." Sakura snapped. She got up and smiled, "Thank you Itachi for letting me stay for a while. And Sasuke dont get in anymore trouble. I wouldnt want to beat you up again." she whispered as she left.

Itachi smirked at his brother. "So a girl beat you up. She must be one heck of a fighter. And she's not one of your fangirls. I like her."

"Stay away from her Itachi. She's mine." Sasuke whispered walking back up the steps. Itachi just smirked.

That Haruno girl's got stuff. But her brother, Gaara, he wont let you anywhere near her. Sorry brother but she wont be with you. Itachi thought as he watched the rain.

AT SAKURA'S APARTMENT

"Hey Sakura. Where have you been?" Gaara asked as he noticed Sakura walk in. "You're soaking."

Sakura went over to the kitchen and grabbed and apple and knife. "I'm fine Gaara. I'm going up to my room. I'm not feeling so well." she said walking up the stairs.

That girl is up to something. She never eats anything but strawberries when it rains. Now she's eating apples. I think something went wrong at school, He thought remembering the fight at school that he had introupted.

Sakura had stormed off to her room. She placed the apple and knife on her bed and went to shut and lock her door. "Stupid parents thinking they could send Gaara here to help. Nothings going to help me. Not as long as there's stupid jackasses out there like Uchiha Sasuke." Sakura said climbing over to her bed.

She took a bit of her apple and held the knife to her wrist. "Stupid jackasses. Hope they figure out why I want to live alone." Sakura took a good grip on the handel and without a second thought she sliced her wrist releicing blood onto her already red sheets.
