First off, I would like to thank everyone who reviewed my last chapter. I appreciate the feedback so much! It makes me smile (: Also, I would like to give a special thanks to HinatasHelper, for her review, because it made me figure out the general direction I'm going to go with the story. So I could never thank you enough haha.

Anyway, I tried to get this chapter written and up for you guys to read as fast as possible as an apology for my absence (;

Title: Bully

Summary: Being a Senior in High School is supposed to be fun right? WRONG. What's fun about getting swirlies every week and being shoved into lockers on a daily basis? "Oh Sakura he picks on you because he likes you." "Mom, what fantasy world are you living in?"

Chapter Three

Sakura had never been more happy to lay eyes on anyone more in her entire life. A small sigh escaped her lips at the realization that someone else had finally come. She found it a bit ironic that Sasuke was the one who always seemed to show up, but she didn't have the mental energy to give it much thought on an account of her hair was seconds from being chopped up.

"Look at yourself. You're disgusting." Sasuke spat, sounding dangerously on the verge of killing someone.

"Why don't you stand up and fight like a man. Coward."

Apparently, Sasuke's name calling didn't sit well with Kiba, because the scissors slid from his grasp next to her ear, and she felt the crushing weight of him slowly lift from her body.

"Sakura." Sasuke began, his voice had softened, his head bowed and his hands surprisingly still placed calmly in his pockets.

"You need to leave now."

'Is he really about to fight Kiba? But Kiba's huge.' She thought, feeling like she should do something to help instead of running away. After all, he had come just in time, and she wanted to thank him.

It's not that she doubted Sasuke's ability to win in a fight, it was just that now that Kiba had chased her at full speed with a pair of scissors, she knew he had something wrong with him. He was insane.

You can't expect a guy who would do something like that to be a fair fighter.

"Sakura. I said leave." his tone had grown more serious and he shot her a warning glance.

Sakura stood shakily to her feet and looked nervously between the two of them, adjusting her glasses upon her face.

"Go."

Sakura took one step back, her eyes downcast as she analyzed the situation in her head.

She quickly turned in the direction of the nearest school building, which was the gym, and dissapeared around the corner.

But the thing about Sakura was, she may be smart, but she just didn't know when she had overstayed her welcome in places.

She stood as close to the wall as she possibly could and peaked around the corner.

She had yet to come to a conclusion on what she was to do if Kiba really ended up hurting Sasuke. She had to do something. Anything.

Just as she was beginning to look around for any ideas, Sasuke slip his hands from the insides of his pockets.

"You should walk away while you're still able to stand, Inuzuka."

Sakura covered her mouth with her hand, eyes wide from Sasuke's threat.

Apparently, she wasn't the only one surprised by his statement.

"What was that?" Kiba asked in an intimidating tone.

Sakura's breathing became heavy and her eyes started producing tears of stress, fogging up the lenses of her glasses.

Kiba took a few steps forward until he stood nose to nose with Sasuke, trying to make him feel inferier as he looked down on him. Sasuke was about a centimeter shorter than Kiba, but with the look Sasuke was giving him, you would think Sasuke was the one who towered over the football team captain.

"What are you gonna do Uchiha? You gonna hit me?"

Sasuke's stance was somewhat tense, but he showed no signs on being on the verge of attack as much as he looked like he was ready to defend himself.

It happened so fast Sakura could barely keep up with all the movement. Kiba's arm swung behind him before he brought the force towards Sasuke's jaw.

But Sasuke was quick, his right hand shot out to shove Kiba backward and his left blocked Kiba's punch before he ducked and made his way to stand behind Kiba, trapping his arm at a strange angle behind his back.

"Sasuke Uchiha. Kiba Inuzuka. In my office."

Sasuke released Kiba's arm so fast Sakura was surprised he didn't break something.

At the sight of Principal Inuzuka Kiba didn't look so tough anymore. He focused his gaze on the dirt, as did Sasuke, who knew that the principal was more than likely not going to be on his side.

"Scratch that. Sasuke, you go home. Your suspended for three days." he turned to his son.

"Kiba. My office. Now."

Sasuke watched Kiba and his father walk away before slowly turning his gaze towards Sakura, who for some reason stepped back quickly to hide behind the wall.

God she must have looked like such an idiot just then.

But it didn't look like Sasuke noticed, because he was by her side in seconds.

"You should go home for the day too. Let me walk you home." he offered, holding out her book bag and book for her to take.

The walk to her house was short lived, and in silence. As she walked up her driveway to her front door she couldn't help but feel like she should invite him in. There had to be something she could say to thank him. She just hadn't figured it out yet.

"Do you wanna...come in for awhile?" she asked shyly, wondering how girls did this kind of thing all the time without their cheeks feeling like they were about to catch fire.

She pushed her glassed up a bit out of nervousness.

To her surprise, a small smirk grew on his lips, and he stepped through the door way.

Sakura told him to help himself to anything in the kitchen and then rushed off towards the rest room.

It was then that she actually got a good look at herself in a mirror. Her school shirt and pants were slightly baggy from excessive movement. Her face still had a small smudge of dirt on her cheek from when Kiba had tackled her. Sakura turned on the water and quietly rinsed her face off in the sink, patting her face dry with a hand towel she found sitting beside the sink. She slid the pony tail holder out of her hair and did her best to fix the mess, the result being a messy bun that sat slightly to the left of her hed. She ran her fingers through her hair, causing small strands to fall around her face and neck in an attempt to make the look more appealing. But she doubted it worked.

She opened the door, taking on less look in the mirror and turned to leave.

Sakura felt like she just jumped ten feet in the air as she let out a loud gasp. She hadn't expected Sasuke to be standing right there.

A smug look seemed to be glued to his features as he looked down on her.

"I better go." he said, stepping back slightly as he headed for the door.

"O-okay. Well, thanks." she sputtered, taken aback by his sudden appearance and posture.

He opened the door and stepped outside and began to shut it behind him.

But that wasn't before he stuck his head back in for a short moment.

"Oh and Sakura, you look hot in those glasses."

He shut the door, leaving Sakura to turn a deep crimson color as she sunk slowly to sit down on her couch.

Did he really just say that?

xcvbhjkl, I think I ended it weird, but that's all I wanted to happen in this chapter so... :P
