A Turn for the Worse, Sasuke comforts Sakura!

A/N: Hmm yea, please review, I really hope that this story isn't that boring, if it us, just review me!

Sakura sat up just as Okasan came in.

"Ah, Sakura you're awake! I need to go to work now, I prepared a lunch for you just in case you want to go to school today, please wake the boys up and get them to school on time! Thanks a lot!" She rushed out and Sakura threw the sheets off her, slipping in her uniform.

"Sasuke Kun, we're gonna be late and Itachi said that-"

"Oh shit! I'm up, I'm up!" He struggled into his shirt and Sakura walked out as she heard the front door close, she opened Itachi's door and once again found him topless.

"I should really wait next time," Sakura bit her lip and whispered to herself. "Itachi, it's nearly time-"

"Oh shit! I'm going, I'm going!" The boys rushed and again shoved each other as they ran downstairs, they quickly brushed their teeth, Sakura struggled to keep up with them and she finally rushed out of the door after them.

It was like the morning repeated itself.

Sasuke paused and grabbed her hand, pulling her across the road with the beeping cars, swerving to avoid them.

They slowed down as Itachi ran on to his university, Sasuke didn't let go of her hands, he held them tightly as again he began to look around cautiously.

"Woohoo! Sasuke's banging the new girl!" Sakura flushed, she was now tagged 'the new girl' and worse, people were calling out that Sasuke was sleeping with her!

Sasuke ignored all of them and walked on to his locker; he opened an empty locker and told Sakura to put her stuff in there.

"Just ignore all of them," Sasuke muttered as he pulled her into their classroom where Kakashi Sensei sat on his chair that balanced on two legs, he rocked back and forth slowly while reading a small, orange book.

"Ohayo, minna-san. Sakura can you come here for a second?" Sakura bit her lip, was she in trouble?

"I know you're new here, but I looked through your first day's work and it's astounding! All of your answers and your workings out are all accurate! Which school did you attend to before this one?"

"Umm.. I didn't go to school,"

"Oh so you were home schooled?"

"Umm no I wasn't," There was the face, the shocked face, as if someone couldn't teach themselves math.

"Have you thought of becoming a tutor at school? You'd be a great inspiration,"

"Uh I'm not sure,"

"You should consider it, if you want to, I'll give you all the details and your student,"

"Okay, thanks," Sakura walked back to Sasuke when she found those girls all over him again. Sakura smirked, she would have to save Sasuke again. She walked over and shoved Ino off her seat.

"Excuse me Ino," She sat down in place of hers and pulled Sasuke down by his hair, giving him a nice kiss. Sakura could see Kakashi Sensei's eyes wide open, blinking at them, and the girls giving nasty glares.

"As you know," Kakashi cleared his voice, "we have physical education this period," as the bell rang and students poured in.

"Let's head out,"

&&

"So today, we'll be doing soccer," There were groans from the girls and the guys' faces lit up.

After the division of the teams, unfortunately Sakura was on the same team with Ino and some of her girls but fortunately she was on the same team with Sasuke.

"Alright teams, nominate your team captain," Instantly the boys in her team spoke up.

"The new girl! The new girl!" They all shouted, pointing at her.

"Seems like you've been nominated captain, Sakura. And this team?" A dark haired boy with short hair stepped forward.

"Ah, Sai. No surprise there," Kakashi muttered. He talked them through the rules and positions, then they headed off to get ready.

Sai's team was kicking off first, Sakura stood in front of him and he smiled at her, she blushed and looked away for a second. The whistle blew and Sai gave a great kick, Sakura ran forwards and trapped the ball with her foot, Naruto who was on Sai's team swiftly stole the ball, Sakura ran after her as did Ino.

"I got it!" Sakura called out, she might not know about the rules of soccer, but she sure knew how to kick.

"I got it, it's mine!" Ino flashed a smirk and swung her foot with her full power, connecting it with the ball that quickly flew towards Sakura, smacking her hard on the face.

Sakura blacked out before she hit the ground, she landed on her back and the boys rushed for her while Ino stood a far distance away from her smugly along with her girlfriends.

"Sakura!" Sasuke bent down and she opened her eyes with confusion.

"What happened?"

"Make way… Sakura, are you alright?" Kakashi examined her and she nodded, not sure whether to say yes or no.

"Actually, I'm a bit dizzy," She stood up and her knees buckled underneath Sakura, Sasuke supported her and brought her to the sides where Kakashi began to continue the game, oblivious that Ino started it all.

"You okay?"

"My head hurts… what happened?"

"You got knocked out by the ball,"

"Oh…"

After minutes of reassuring and the whole day of work, work and work, Sakura was finally able to escape school and vent her weariness. Sakura tagged behind Sasuke and shut the door behind her as they walked inside to find Itachi relaxing in the chair, eating in front of the television.

The news was on, pictures of a dead body was show followed on by some crime stoppers thing.

Sakura stopped in her path and sat down close to the screen, leaning on her knees to get a better view, eyes fixed on the pictures.

Sakura fell back on her butt.

"W-what??" She whispered to herself. She could swear her heart had immediately stopped beating.

"M-mum?" She had not noticed that tears began to stream down her cheeks, she looked at the screen, desperate for more information.

"It is said the murder happened late at night on Monday the eight, gun shots were heard and screams, but nothing else was reported. Police officers are still sear-"

"Sakura-" Sasuke came running downstairs and stopped as he saw Sakura's tear streaked face.

"My mum, the-the!" She choked her words out, breathing heavily, grasping tufts of her hair and pulling it deliriously.

Sasuke looked down at her, saying nothing but just took a step to her and hugged her reassuringly as she cried in his chest, tears dropped onto his shirt as he rested his head on hers.

"Cry your heart out, Sakura. Do what you like," Sakura hiccoughed as she screamed.

She wanted to so badly hit Sasuke right now, to just vent her anger on someone.

"My mum… my mum," Sakura grasped Sasuke's tear drenched shirt, screaming more.

"Why did they have to kill my mum?! My mum! WHY?!" She clenched her teeth as hard as she could until they felt like they were going to break, her nails felt like they were stabbing her palm, her eyes felt like they were going to burst, and her voice felt like it was going to fade away.

"Sasuke Kun… I-I don't know what I'm going to do-" Sakura's guts had a tightening sensation and her stomach fluttered with fury.

Has this got something with Sakura lying unconscious in the dark street?

Sasuke had muttered something that Sakura couldn't hear, but she couldn't hear anything. Her world had gone silent, she hadn't seen her mother in years, and yet she still remembered what she looked like.

The same green eyes as hers.

"Sakura! Run, run as far as you can and don't look back! Promise me!" Sakura's dad held her shoulders and looked deep into her eyes, fearing for her. He wasn't drunk.

"W-what are you talking about?!"

"Sakura, I've done some bad things that can't be turned back. Just promise me you'll run! They'll be after you too! Just go wherever you can go! I'm so sorry Sakura."

"B-but-" Loud bangs were heard at the front door and loud yelling.

"Go!" Her dad pushed her out the back door and locked out her outside. Sakura remained still for a few seconds as she heard the door crash down. She then stepped back as there was louder yelling.

Sakura began to run, she ran faster and faster as the yelling grew louder inside her head. It was only before ten steps that a piercing gun shot was heard.

And then it fell silent.

Sakura kept running, she kept running as far as her legs could carry her until she reached an abandoned street. She sat down under the street light and wept her heart out, traumatized.

She pulled her knees up to her chest and leaned her forehead on it, she heard approaching footsteps and she looked up, standing up as two intimidating men smiled at her.

"Hello little girl, what are you doing out so late on your own?" The men advanced on her and the last thing she saw was a big fist heading her way.

Sakura sat up stiffly, so that happened.

Her hand shook in the darkness as she clutched her sheets, her whole body shook violently and her eyes felt dry. She exhaled loudly and threw the blankets off, she walked downstairs with more confidence and as soon as she entered the kitchen, a cool glass was pressed into her hands.

"Are you alright?"

"Fine," Sakura croaked as she felt the cold water run soothingly down her throat.

"You're one strong girl, Sakura." A hand touched her face and then trailed to the back of her head where her long ponytail hung.

Sakura followed her instincts and emotions and let her head droop on his chest, his hand pulled her band out and her hair fell out at her waist, he ran his hand over her hair and let loose her bangs. He lowered his head so that it hovered near her ear; he nibbled her ear gently sending shivers down Sakura's spine.

She could feel his hot breath on her as he advanced to her lips, he held it there for a few hesitant moments, then pressing down. Her tingling came back in her fingertips, she could feel the warmth of his face and body. He stepped back from her.

"Goodnight, Sakura," Sakura turned around slowly, step by step up the stairs until she reached the top, she walked steadily to her room then collapsed on her bed from her shaking knees.

That definitely made her feel better.
