Ratings went up.
I DO NOT OWN NARUTO.
"Tsunade sama."
Said woman looked up from her paper work to see her usual proper assistant, enter the office, dishelved.
She raised a brow.
"Yes Shizune?"
"Its about Sakura chan's case." She said slightly out of breath.
That news made her straightened up.
"Good or bad?"
"Depend on how you view it."
"Well, lets hear it then."
Shizune pulled the contents of a brown folder -that she had brought with her- out onto Tsunade's desk.
There was a profile set up in front of her.
"Who is this?" She asked after quickly scanning it.
"The other survivor."
Naruto re-read the text that Hinata sent him for the fifth time.
From : Hinata chan
busy :(
sorry naruto kun
maybe tomorrow
The blond sighed and turned his attention to the pink haired girl who was eating quietly in front of him.
Hinata hasn't come to eat lunch with them for the whole week and it was starting to bother him. It was as if she was trying to avoid them or something. But Naruto couldn't think of anything that would make Hinata do such a thing.
"Is Hyuuga san not coming again today?"
"Ah y-yeah. She's got somethin' to do."
"And so is Uzumaki san I assume."
Karin usually follows what the Hyuuga says. Therefore no Hinata means no Karin.
"Yeah..."
"Oh."
The blond laughed awkwardly while stracthing the back of his head.
"So," Naruto started, trying to change the topic "How's work at the hospital Haruno san."
Sakura shrugged and sucked the remaining juice out of the box.
"The same as always. Hectic."
"I see." the blond chuckled.
A comfortable silence settled between the two teens.
That was until Sakura's phone vibrated in her pocket.
Jumping slightly at the sensation, the pinkette fished for the small black device. When she read the caller ID, her eyes widen a fraction. She got up quickly and went outside to answer the call.
Naruto raised his brow at the pinkette's antics. Truly an unusual one she is.
"Do you have any idea where the pink haired Hag went to?" Someone asked. "She bumped into everyone that was in her way."
Naruto turned to the person who said it and was met with the fakest smile he has ever seen.
"Hey, don't call her that Shimura."
"Why shouldn't I," he gave the blond a once over "Dickless."
"Dickless?! Well you listen here Shimura-"
He was cut off by a snicker that came from behind him.
"Why you mad Uzumaki? That describes you perfectly."
"Seriously Uchiha. You want some of this?" The blond said while waving a fist.
"Bring it on Uzumaki."
Sai gave Sasuke a once over too and smiled.
"Calm down Wannabe Me, you're not that much different either."
"Wa-wannabe?! But you came later, so who's copying who exactly here?"
"You are, obviously."
"Why I-"
Just when Sasuke was about to pounce on Sai, the door slid open and in came Sakura who then gathered her stuff at an insane speed.
"Um. Is something wrong Haruno san?"
She paused and said "Something came up. Can you tell Sensei that I went home early because of a stomach ache."
"Sure-" he didn't even get to finish his sentence, Sakura was already out of the door.
It was quiet for a second before Sai spoke again.
"Hey, I think she left something."
They all looked at the direction Sai was pointing to and saw a notebook under the pinkette's desk.
The blond got up and took it out. His eyes widen as he recognized the rough leather.
'This is..'
"My book! Did. You. Open. It?!"
"N-no."
"Oh thank god."
"Thank you, Uzumaki san."
"Is it her diary? Open it. I wanna see what's inside."
Before Sai could reach it, Naruto has already put the book behind him.
"This is Haruno san's privacy. We shouldn't look at it."
Sai clicked his tounge "I knew you were dickless."
Naruto's eyebrow twitched.
"Fuck off Shimura."
The blond was just relieved that the new student didn't press the matter.
Sasuke however was wondering why the book was so important.
'Finally.'
Splash.
Her shoe was wet after stepping on that puddle but she didn't stop running. A small smile formed on her lips.
'Some answers.' the pink haired girl thought as she raced towards the hospital.
The chatters along the hallway was sickening. He can never understand what it really means to talk to somebody without getting annoyed as soon as they open their mouth. Except for 'Tachi nii that is.
Sasuke sighed as he walked alone with his hands in his pocket. His mind then wondered to the blond's earlier reaction towards the pinkette's book.
"Uchiha kun."
He stopped in front of a class.
1-10
Then he turned to who it was.
"Hn."
"Nice to see you Uchiha kun. How have you been?"
"I'm fine..Yamanaka san."
When he said her name, Ino felt as if she were on cloud nine.
Sasuke on the other hand was mentally cursing his luck.
Yamanaka Ino. The most popular girl in school. Gorgeous, smart, bubbly and kind. Ever since they were little, those were the praises that came out of anyone who met her.
Sasuke knew better though. That it was just a facade to hide the true demon. He knew it from the moment he looked into those baby blue eyes.
And his suspicions were further confirmed from what he had witnessed.
Smack.
"Pl-plea-se.."
"Again."
Smack. Punch.
"S-stop it.."
"Again."
Punch.
"I swe-e-e-ar,"
"Again. Harder."
Kick.
"..I-I-I wo-won't do i-it any-anymore."
"Harder!"
Kick. Kick. Punch.
All she could do at this point was sob pathetically.
"Again."
"I think we broke her though," One of the culprit said. "Are you sure?"
"Does it look like I'm fucking kidding?"
He chuckled. "Whatever you say Beautiful."
"Well you heard The Boss. Finish her."
That was all it took for Sasuke to kick the door open. He had been walking home from school when he heard some ruckus inside one of the old warehouse. He listened in to their conversation before he reacted. But what he saw was far worse than what he had imagined.
A girl sat in the middle of the room surrounded by a group of people. Her hands and feet were tied to the chair. Her discarded shirt laid on the floor in pieces. Cuts, bruises and discoloration covered her bare torso. Her head hung low as tears flowed down her face.
She lifted her head slowly when she noticed light in front of her.
Sasuke's eyes widen at the sight of her face.
Blood was running down her nose continously. Her left eye was swollen to the point that it stayed shut and her jaw looked dislocated.
She smiled at the silhouette standing at the entrance.
What she said next broke Sasuke's heart.
"Please. Just end me."
His blood boiled as he looked at the people surrounding the girl. How could they to do this to someone to the point where dying was the only option they have.
"Uchiha kun!" Someone from the group shouted.
Sasuke had to strain his eyesight in order to see properly in the dim lighting but when his eyes took in the uniform from Oto Junior High for Girls, they narrowed. There was only one person he knows who goes there.
"Yamanaka san?"
"Y-yes. Oh Thank goodness you're here. I tried to stop them but they wouldn't listen," she cried.
"And," she hiccuped "And now..Miyu chan.."
Black orbs turned towards the girl and back at the now crying Yamanaka. She was lying that much Sasuke could tell. But the girl needed help, fast.
"Go take her." He said "Leave the rest to me."
Ino looked at him dead in the eyes and all Sasuke could see was the coldness in them. He then wondered if he had made the right choice.
"Thank you, Uchiha kun."
When the two girls were out of sight, he turned towards the remainder of the group. The scowl he had deepened.
"Hn."
And all hell broke loose.
To say he got out unscathed would be a lie. It wasn't a fair fight after all. It was him against five guys. He had scars to prove it but he was glad that he was able to get there in time.
Sadly, the girl became mentally unstable and would be staying in a mental asylum for the rest of her life.
"Well, it's good to see you again Uchiha kun."
"Hn."
With that she went on her way, catching up with a group of girls.
Sasuke stood there for a bit, just hoping that the Yamanaka had changed after all these years.
Little did Sasuke know that she was already planning a demise on a certain someone.
"C'mon, we're gonna miss it if you don't hurry."
"I'm coming, I'm coming. Wait just- Kaho chan watch out!"
"What do you- oof!" she bumped into a hard wall of muscle.
"Ouch." Kaho rubbed her nose and looked at who she just bumped into.
"Oh, sorry Uzumaki kun."
He chuckled. "It's alright."
She smiled. Then she noticed something in the corner of her eyes.
"Uzumaki kun..I think you dropped something."
"Shoot, you're right."
The blond bent down to pick it up but stopped when he saw what exactly that he had dropped.
His eyes widen.
Haruno san's book.
And it was opened.
But that wasn't what made him froze.
One accident left six dead.
He picked it up and read the rest of the contents. With every new page he read, his breathing became faster. Until the very last one where he closed the book shut and ran past Kaho -who was trying to read the book over the blond's shoulder- at high speed.
"What happened to Uzumaki kun?" Himeko asked when she finally caught up.
"I'm not sure Hime," Kaho looked at the direction that the blond went "But I hope he's okay."
Knock knock knock.
"Dr. Senju. It's me."
"Come on in."
When the pinkette went in, Tsunade asked the girl to lock the door.
"I already requested Shizune to give us some privacy."
Sakura nodded.
"I'm asking you this one last time Sakura," the blond looked at the pink haired girl "Are you sure about this?"
"Yes." She said firmly.
"Alright then."
Tsunade put the paper in front of the pinkette.
She grabbed the paper and began reading. She gasped.
"Dr. Senju..is this.."
The older woman smiled. "The boy who was with you on that day."
"Uchiha Itachi."
Phew.
That was a long one don't you think so? No? Oh, just me then XD
I have a lot of ideas going through my head now and the drama has finally started.
I know. It's not that epic yet but just you wait, it will be..soon..(I hope..)
'Til next time then. See ya.
Thanks for reading.
