The Ninja and The Princess

By Kumi-chan

Chapter V

I have to protect hime!

Sakura's POV

We were eating and talking happily just when Gaara came.

"Hey girls.. I need to talk to the Haruno girl.."

"Spit it out Gaara.." I said while chewing my smoked salmon with bread.

"..Privately."

"H.. huh? Why? I'm still eating this thing you know.." I said a little bit confused.

"Just get your fucking ass up here.." he said rather harsh without looking at me.

I stood up as quickly as possible.

Of course, everyone would do that if they were me. No one messes with him. No one messes with the Gaara. When he means private, he means it and if you don't obey him, consider yourself dead. And I don't want to be dead. Not now, at least. I just have to follow him.. Right?

He then went downstairs, then turns right, goes straight the hall, turn right again, go down the stairs, go straight and turned left to see a door. A door that reads 'Janitor's'. He then stood there.

"wh-what do you want to talk about Gaara-san?" I asked a little bit frightened.

He glared at me.

I took a step back.

He sighed.

"wh-what?" I said as I shake due to the glare he shot at me.

He then looked at me with those sharp eyes. Those eyes. Yes, the eyes that could give you immediate death. Those eyes that is sharp enough to kill the person who's looking at him within a second. Those eyes.. Of sorrow, loneliness, and sadness.

"Haruno.. Sakura.." he hissed.

"wh-what?" I gulped.

He then reached out a hand in front of me.

I closed my eyes.

After 2 seconds I opened my eyes to see what is happening.

He didn't move. With his hand reached out in front of me.

I was going to speak when he beat me.

"Give it to me.."

"Give you what?" I said confused.

"The money Haruno, the money." He hissed.

"B-but.. it is with Hinata-chan.. Why ask me?" I said confused mixed with fear.

He pinned me into the wall. His face inches from mine.

"Well Haruno.." he whispered to me in a low voice.

I could feel his breath.

I gulped.

"I asked your dear Hinata-chan but she said that the money was with you.." he said rather louder.

His face moved closer to mine with only a one-inch space.

Oh I forgot. I haven't given them to Hinata-chan. Shit.

"Where is it Sakura-chan.." he said in a rather seductive voice.

Then he leaned in to kiss me.

But I move my head to the left to avoid him.

So he kissed the wall.

I took the chance to escape from his grip.

"FUCKING BITCH!" he cursed.

I ran as fast as I can.

I could hear him running and chasing me.

"WAIT YOU BITCH! WHERE'S THE MONEY?" he said as he chased me.

"Uh.. I… have to get them in my car.. Uh.. See you later!" I lied.

But he still chases me.

Oh god, please help me.

He was about to catch up with me when I hit something..

Or someone..

"hime? What are you doing running around like that?"

Oh, thank you god..

"S-Sasuke-kun.." I said while catching my breath.

He looked at me, confused but then looked behind me.

There stood Gaara.

"Remember the cash Haruno, or you are going to die." And with that he vanished into thin air.

I fell down to my knees. Good thing Sasuke-kun's here.

Then I fell but Sasuke-kun caught me.

"Hime, are you alright? What's with the Gaara guy?" he asked me.

I sighed.

"Long story Sasuke-kun, I'll tell you later at home. First, we have to go back to the class." I said still in his arms.

I tried to stand up but I cant. My leg hurt so much from the running.

Suddenly I was in the air. No, I am not flying. And I am not dreaming.

Sasuke-kun carried me. Bridal-style.

"Here, you cant walk yet, I'll carry you." He said not looking at me with a sigh.

He is really cute.

When Sasuke-kun and me went inside the classroom, everyone was looking at him and me like we were a new species of animal.

I don't care much. He is my Ninja after all..

He then placed me at my seat.

"Thanks," I said.

He just nodded then went somewhere.

Moments later Hinata and Tenten went running to me.

"Sa-sakura-chan!" said Hinata worriedly.

"wh-what happened to you?" asked Tenten.

"What did he do to you?" asked Hinata.

"What did he say to you? Let us beat him up!" again asked Tenten.

"I-I'm fine girls.." I said as I sighed.

Typical. Overprotective best friends.

Hey, don't underestimate them. Hinata-chan is a martial arts master. The Hyuugas are famous from their martial arts styles. She has been learning martial arts from the age of 3. Her mom and dad is the greatest martial artist and wants their heir to inherit their martial arts style. And Tenten? She is a professional kendo player. She has won more than twenty matches. Me? A stupid wide-forehead girl with good looks and money.

After they settle down, I told them the whole story.

"HE DID WHAAAAAAAAAAT?" shout Tenten.

Almost everyone in the class looked at her. But she didn't care much.

"S-Saku-Sakura-chan, you shouldn't go near him.." said Hinata worried.

"But.. I have to give him the money.." I pouted.

"No buts Sakura! Me and Hinata-chan will give him the money!" said Tenten.

I frowned. "okay.."

KRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING

Yeah, finished at last, all I have to do is now go home. I packed all my stuffs and was already going to go home but when I went outside the classroom, there stood the most fearsome kid in school.

Gaara.

I want to run away but he grabbed my hands.

I gulped.

He whispered softly to my ears, "bring me the money tomorrow. And the person must be you and you alone.. Or else.."

He was about to whisper something to me but Sasuke-kun came in front of us.

He glared at Gaara.

Gaara glared back.

Then Gaara smirked, "heh. Your lucky your prince charming came. But don't forget about our promise.." and with that the disappeared again.

Sasuke looked at me with worry in his eyes.

"You okay hi-" I put my finger on his lips.

"I'll tell you later at home, now let's go.." I said as I went out of the school.

He frowned a bit. And he followed.

At home-

Sasuke's POV

Home at last.

I was still worried with hime and that Gaara guy. What was he doing with her? She looked frightened. I need to ask her.

"hime I-"

"sssh.. We will talk this in my room.." she said again, putting her finger on my lips.

I sighed. And she let go of my lips and went to her room.

I followed her and went inside her room.

She locked the door, closed the curtains, and closed the windows. She then fell down and cry.

"Hi-hime, what happened?" I said as I quickly went to her side to comfort her.

"Sas-sasuke-kun.. I was scared.. I was so scared.." she managed to say between the sobs.

"Hush now.. Calm down.. Everything's alright now.." I said as I hugged her.

"H-he.. Whispered.. Face.. Inches.. Kiss.." she said between the sobs.

I don't understand. So I calmed her a little bit.

"hime, you are not making any sense, calm down and then talk.." I whispered to her ear.

A few minutes later she calmed down and told me the whole story.

I was shocked. Who wouldn't be?

"What? Why that.. Gaara.. I have to punish him for the sake of hime. No one messes with hime." he stood up like the knight in shining armor who's trying to avenge the damsel in distress.

"No.. Wait.. Sasuke-kun.. I don't want people to be hurt because of me.. Please.." she tugged on my shirt.

How can I refuse?

I sighed.

"Okay hime, but tomorrow, I am going with you," I said

"No Sasuke-kun.. You cant.. I could be dead if you do that.."

I frowned. What the heck is up with that Gaara? Unless..

"sasuke-kun, I want to change now, do you mind going out for a while.." she asked as she wiped her last tear.

"hn." I said as I left the room.

I was too preoccupied on my mind.

What should I do to protect her?

I'll follow her.

Gaara won't notice me if I hide my aura..

Yeah.

That will do.

I have to protect my hime.
