A/N: Ok, so lets get started. This chapter is short, and I mean VERY short. Don't come at me with any kunai when you realize how short it is…

Tears of True Love

Chapter 03 – He's Not a Jerk!

Days went by, and Sakura and Tadashi had become the best of friends. Sakura's cheery attitude had returned, but her wings still didn't come…

"When will I just freaking give up? I want wings too!" Sakura began ranting as she and Tadashi walked down the streets. Tadashi laughed. "Well, now that I know you, I can see why. You aren't one to give up without a fight." Sakura sighed. "Stupid coma…"

Suddenly, a voice filled the air, "Hello everyone! It's that time of week again!" Sakura looked rather confused. "What the hell was that?" Tadashi laughed again. "That's just the announcer for the weekly show. See." He pointed toward a large screen above their heads. "Each week, one death is chosen and aired." Sakura glared at him, "But that's so… not right! Why do they do that?" Tadashi shrugged, "We need gossip, and we have no cable up her." Sakura shrugged, then turned back to the screen.

"Ok, so this weeks death goes to…" the man opened an envelope that sat before him. "Sakura Haruno!"

"WHAT!" Sakura screamed.

Suddenly, the screen changed. It was now placed in a thick forest. A boy with black blue hair came charging toward a girl with bubblegum pink hair. The two went at each other: punch, jab, stab, block. It went on and on, and everyone was rather amazed at their quick movements. But Sakura wasn't as happy as they were, she was more… horrified. 'No… not again... no…' Then, out of the blue, the boy jabbed his hand forward, shoving a kunai into her gut. He then shoved his hand into the wound, forcing it to grow deeper. Everyone around gasped, Sakura almost fainted. Blood came pouring out of her wound. Everyone gave a disgusted sound, Sakura almost gagged. He charged her toward a tree, and there she screamed. Then, nothing...She stopped moving, stopped screaming, just stopped. Everyone was whispering, Sakura was crying.

Tadashi turned to his new friend with wide eyes. 'She had to go through all that? God…'

Suddenly the announcer came on. "That was Sakura Haruno, a fourteen-year-old ninja of Konoha. And the boy, Sasuke Uchiha, was suposed to beher friend!" Everyone began talking even louder, and Sakura cried even more. She had tried to force that out of her mind, but it just had to come back. 'Why?'

Tadashi realized everyone was turning toward them, so he quickly grabbed Sakura and walked her away. They found a small bench and sat down, and still she cried. Tadashi held her hand, but she didn't care at the moment, she was too depressed. People began walking by the pair, "Hey! You're Sakura aren't you? That guy is such a jerk." Soon, Sakura couldn't take it. She was now filled not with depression, but with anger. "He...is...NOT!" Tadashi turned to her surprised. "He is not a jerk! He didn't mean to! He… he…" then she trailed off. She couldn't take it, so she did the only thing she knew how to do, she ran.

Sakura: NO! Why… I… -tears-

Dani: It's ok… shhh… calm down.

Sakura: But, why did I have to see it again? I freaking LIVED it!

Dani: I know, it'll be ok…

Sasuke: Could you stop crying? It's not all that bad…

Sakura: Fine! Let's kill you off and see how you like it!

Sasuke: Well, if Itachi comes with me…

Sakura: Grr, you little…

Dani: Itachi isn't even in this story, so just forget it! Anyway, read this!

A/N: I know, short. PLEASE, don't attack me. Don't worry, the next chapter is coming soon, and it will be way longer… ok, maybe it won't, but it will be very VERY interesting. And remember, if you kill me off, you won't finish the story. Ha! I got you there! Ok, so review! Dani out!
