Every morning seemed boring to Sakura, just a sad routine every day. it was a cold morning and not a very good one either; she woke late and almost missed the bus too. She stared out the bus window watching the birds go by and the snow freely fall down slowly. She could hear her older brother Naruto teasing some girls, smirking at his stupidity and wondering what her bestfriend Hinata saw in him. then she remembered how alike they were so socially awkward but they seem like perfectly normal people when together. Thinking about her brother and bestfriend's relationship made her like of her own; her boyfriend Sasuke was just like her, they did everything together. Sakura met Sasuke in art her freshmen year of highschool, granted she is only a sophomore now, she had friends but due to her schedule she never really saw them and felt alone. Sasuke was that loud teen with no really care in the world, he just was himself and that is what Sakura loved about him. When they first officially met they were more or less teasing each other about what they liked, they learned a lot about each other from teasing and just being playfully mean. Sasuke may be the amazing spirit but not when he was a kid, he had a dark past in New York and was just plain depressed and his parents did nothing about it. After a while he slowly got over it by talking with his counselor, his only true friend in New York, he learned to be happy and live life by looking at the bright side. Sakura wasn't doing good at all, with no friends to confided in and just being afraid caused her to hide a lot; because of that self harming started to form she wouldn't really eat and sleep as well as the cutting. The cutting was the worst of it no matter how deep the cut was or where it was she made sure she would bleed. Sasuke saw this, after he had finally asked her out near the end of the school year, and was there for her the way she needed it. He was her shoulder and the one who just sat there and listened then hugged when she just couldn't talk anymore, he would pull her into his lap rocking her and letting her know she was safe. After being together for three months he knew everything about her but she barely knew anything about him. Sakura had started to get angry with Sasuke everytime he changed the subject away from his past; one she got so tired of it she screamed at him threatening him in every way than just falling to the floor crying her heart out, telling him that he needed to trust her for the relationship to work. Sasuke was just shocked to no end, just standing there not able to say anything. When Sakura heard nothing from him, she slowly stood up and started walking to the door. Sasuke stopped her from walking away; he told her everything all the pain and loneliness he felt and how it was over and that he will do everything to help her get through this pain and loneliness, to be with her till the very end and beyond. Sakura shook her head and smiled thought of their first night together and all those before.
Naruto and Sakura got off the bus into the cold morning air started toward the high school to see Sasuke waiting with one of the cafeteria doors open. they ran to the door to get out of the cold and the free falling snow. Once they got to the door and inside Sasuke smirk/smiled grabbing Sakura by the waist and planting his lips on her, hard; Naruto looked at them with disgusted and gagged while walking over to Hinata and TenTen. Sakura pulled away giggling and blushing, she turned away and started toward the table when Sasuke ran by smacking her ass hard causing her to squeal. Sakura sat down on Sasuke's lap moving a little to get "comfortable" causing him to grind his teeth.
"You guys are gross, you need to slow down on the love train.", Hinata said with a disgusted look on her face then turning back to Naruto to finish their conversation.
"Just cause you can't get any doesn't mean we should suffer."snapped/ smirked Sakura "We agreed that we should be ourselves but not too much and we are perverted and sexual active, we are not affraid to admit that."
"Knock it off you two, we don't need a fight between you too….again."TenTen informed the too causing them to glare at her which made her squeal and blush.
The friends continued to talk and laugh till a group of teens showed up. They were the popular kids well the ones that made fun and teased the five special kids. They tease Sakura a lot more due to the suicide attempt she pulled last year.
"Well well look who is still here, we thought you would have killed yourself already, but it seems we aren't doing a job at this." Liam said; Liam is the star quaterback of the school but isnt too bright at all. He can get with any girl he want accept for Hinata, TenTen, and Sakura.
"Can it Liam, you know that we have testing today maybe you'll spell your name right this time." snapped/ laughed Naruto"And leave my sister alone, you have no right to say anything to her, she hasn't done anything wrong." Both Naruto and Sasuke stood up with the girls behind them in a protective way.
"You,- Liam pointed to Naruto-shut up you virgin; she was born thats what she did wrong and we arent here for that, we are here to give Sasuke an offer." snapped Liam's now Slutty Girlfriend, who happened to be staring at Sasuke with lust hungry eyes.
"What offer, cause if its to leave them and join you forget it I don't want to be walking around or hanging out with sluts and fucktards with mush for brains."Sasuke growled at them"Also never say anything like that to Sakura like that again or i will KILL you." Sasuke death glared at them intently.
"Whatever your loss anyway he could use you on the team. Oh well come on guys, babe lets go so freak doesn't get on us."Liam said with a shrug wrapping his arm around his slutty girlfriend and grabbing her ass.
After the idiots were gone the group look at Sakura, who happen to be shaking and look like she was about to break down and cry,Sasuke went over and hug her tightly.
"Hey Sakura, don't listen to them ok, just us." Sasuke whispered to her; TenTen, Naruto, and Hinata knew not to interrupt them, when Sakura got like this she would only listen to Sasuke and sometimes not even him. This is the time when they have to be careful any wrong move could set Sakura off. She could go into a shut down and hurt herself again like before, if that happens she will be with them physically but won't talk to them at all and she will become so dependant on self harm that she will cut herself, starve herself, and not talk for days end while planning her suicide till the day she tries to commit suicide. The same thing happened last time; Hinata and Sakura had gotten into a big fight over Hinata dating her older brother and when they explained it to the rest Sasuke had said something that made it seem like she didn't matter and that he was siding with Hinata, Sakura was so upset she ignored them all but was still there she was always there and quiet never talking at all and getting skinnery and paler. She would were long sleeves everyday no matter the weather of the day; when one day Sasuke grabbed her arm demand she talked to him causing her to flinch and her sleeves which caused them to ride up her arm showing cuts large and small, deep and shallow. They never want a repeat even thinking of the memory brings tears. Naruto, Hinata and TenTen walked to class leaving them behind so they can work it out.
Sasuke took Sakura down to the gardens to talk it all out and by this time she was crying. He got her to sit down by the weird looking flowers that she loves so much. Sakura had calm down to point of just she was shaking and quivering. Sasuke sat down pulling her into a hug whispering sweet nothings into her ear.
"Hey think of me and you on that night we made love, how beautiful you were in the moon light. Just think if we had a kid, if it was a girl she will be as beautiful and as smart as you but that would also mean boys chasing after her, oh no not my little girl." Sasuke had a horrid look on his just thinking about all the boys that would be going after his baby girl causing Sakura to giggle a little. Sasuke looked down at her in his lap and smiled, that was the Sakura he wanted back but it'll take time to get her back to the way she was and she would never really be the same again.
"See there's that smile I love why don't you give it to me again or I'll have to tickle you."Sasuke threatened playfully; Sakura looked up and flashed him a smile but he could tell it was faked.
"If you want to cry then cry don't hold it in, ok."Sasuke looked down with a reassuring smile. Sakura looked up and started to cry her heart out on his shoulder; Sasuke never liked it when she cried but now she needed so he let her while rocking her back and forth on his lap.
TenTen, Hinata, and Naruto were all in class but couldn't focus, they were all worried about Sakura, they never want a repeat of last year and this one succeeding. They all hoped that Sasuke can keep her from falling down again, and this is the part they hated most was waiting and not being able to help. They got the work from the teacher and talked quietly in a group like the rest of the students when Sakura and Sasuke walked in with a note and gave it to the teacher then sat down.
"Are you ok Sakura, you're not going to leave us right." TenTen asked slowly and hesitantly hoping not to cause Sakura too disconnected from them.
"Show them Sakura you need to let them know ok."Sasuke told Sakura while she nodded slowly, pulling up her sleeves. On her arm were cuts, lots of them, she had told Sasuke earlier about the encounter she had with the popular group and just couldn't take it .
"Sakura… why don't you tell us about this, we want you here with us again please."Begged Hinata she had tears in her eyes"just think about how much Sasuke can prove that you are worth a whole lot more then they say and in a fun way." now this caused everyone to laugh quietly including Sakura.
"Hinata is right I can show you a more pleasurable way to release this emotion."Sasuke said seductively causing Sakura to blush and nod.
"Thats the spirit Sakura, remember you're a questionist, question their worth not yours. Okay." Her older brother said in an awkward tone like usual causing Sakura to frown.
"Thats not what questionism is, we question options, choices and religion not people's worth."Thats the response Naruto was hoping for.
"Then why do you question your worth?"Naruto responded with a smirk at Sakura's smug face which turn into a surprise face, he had her where he wanted her and she knew it.
"You always say things like that but you still think you're worthless yet you're not. We need you as much as you need us. Why don't you realize that." Naruto asked looking at Sakura with a serious face." We have to stick together, if we don't the Government will target and kill us off."
Sakura knew this was true and had got herself caught in his mind trap; TenTen, Hinata, and Sasuke knew he what he was getting at, with them being evolutionarily advanced they had to stick together. Sakura glared at her older brother hating him at the moment.
"Sakura you know he's right and you're wrong this time but at least think about us or how Sasuke can help you." Hinata said looking at Sakura.
"Okay fine just stop cornering me you know i hate it." Sakura said with a glare, Sasuke smiled and reach over and pulled her chair closer to him kissing her temple and whispering sweet but naughty things in her ear.
