Hi people! waves I'm very very very glad to have received comments about the story. I'm graciously thankful of your support and feedback so please keep commenting! My inspiration only rises by how happy you guys are reading my fic. Anyway, sorry about the late update but I promise that this one won't be a let down. Enjoy and keep reviewing people! :3

"You're not drunk are you?" The unrevealed man whispered to the blossom. He handcuffed her hands to the bed's legs, coercing her to stay in her place. She panicked as sweat crawled down from her burning cheeks. The fragile blossom felt that every inch of touch and every single breath that the dark masked man hissed just electrified her system. She felt at any moment, she'd be taken advantage of and abused like those girls who errantly walk in the streets very late at night.

His face drew near hers, and his breath, a strong stench of alcohol, stung her senses. Naturally, she swiftly drew her face aside and clinched her teeth in despair.

"Ge-get away from me…"

"C'mon… drink this, it'll make you feel better…"

Sakura didn't drink the alcohol that Karin gave to her. As a student learning in the medical fields, she knew better of the substance she was going to drink.

"No! No! Stop it!" Sakura panicked. She frantically kicked her legs in a frenzy, just to get the man away from her.

"Hey, hey now… don't be afraid. I won't hurt you…" He grabbed her arm and firmly squeezed it. She whimpered as he tied down her legs and forced her to turn her face towards him. Her eyes shook in fear and her body quivered in silence.

An energy inside her could no longer be suppressed. Sakura finally screamed her heart out, crying in shock and fear of possibly being raped.

But her scream died out in the loud waves of the music.

"Its no use to try that…" He pinched her chin again and she felt his face only drew towards her more. He was obviously invading her personal space. She felt a cold hand crawl up the side of her waist and a finger flickering with her dress zipper.

"STOP! HELP! PLEASE, please… please stop…" Sakura said urgently. Her voice started dying down as she struggled to pronounce each word.

"Sorry little girl… I can't do that for you…"

The area was drowned in darkness and the large crimson curtains masked the moonlight from entering the room. The only light in the room came from a white, waxy candle, battling the atmosphere in order to maintain its own energy.

The small flame wiggled in the room's intense melody and as soon as the melody transitioned into silence, the flame of the small candle blew out…

Main Room (Dance Floor)

"Where the fuck is she?!" Sasuke furiously yelled. Although Karin was extremely content that she knew Sakura was going to have a huge weight of bad news carrying her down, Karin didn't expect that Sasuke would be angry like a carnivorous bear.

"Sasuke-kun, forget her… why don't we settle this later and have fun-"

Sasuke turned to Karin and sneered dangerously at her. She quivered under his intense look of disgust.

Seconds passed and soon he dropped the staring contest and went out to hunt for her. He went through the labyrinth of hallways and rooms, deducting logically which rooms the blossom could possibly be in. By luck, Sasuke reached the door of her confinement and noticed that when he turned the knob, the door wouldn't budge.

What? Don't tell me… she's sleeping in my… parents' room…

Sasuke took out a couple of keys in his pocket and hastily unlocked the door. He quickly flicked the lights on, shedding clear vision off the room.

"Hey you! Get the fuck off the bed!" Sasuke fiercely commanded. The man quickly got off and sprinted away. He definitely wasn't his brother, Itachi, but the girl sleeping on the bed was definitely Sakura Haruno.

He didn't say anything and just glanced at her in utter disgust. As much as he extremely wanted to yell at her and rant on how stupid of a person she is, he knew well she was wasted. Her hair was disheveled and her dress was a bit out off place. Good thing nothing personal was exposed though. She plainly stared at the ceiling and she didn't notice that her confinements were already taken off her.

Sasuke approached her and noticed that once she saw him, her vision blurred and her body was drained of energy. She was absolutely not used to the liquid. Immediately she was knocked out.

ll - - - - - ll

"Ugh…" Sakura groaned. She could barely exert energy enough to even move a finger.

She finally forced herself to sit upright on the bed and noticed that her surroundings were very familiar. She was in her room, though she doesn't particularly remember how she got here or even what happen exactly yesterday night. She promptly felt sick and horrible. Looking around for her cell phone, Sakura caught sight of the light, glossy, pink mechanism on the floor next to her. She snatched it, flipped it open and checked the time.

It was 1:34 P.M. Way too late for school.

"Oh my god… I missed school. Ugh!" Sakura groaned as she flopped back down onto her bed. She stared at the ceiling, angry that Sasuke didn't even brother to wake her up and go to school.

That jerk… ugh…

She had a mix of feelings: Sick, hungry, and most importantly nostalgic. She really wanted to hear her parents' voice, people who actually cared for her being, trusted her, and essentially guided her when her path was dark. To hear words of comfort and a melody that healed the wounds of her tortured soul. She felt so bad, her eyes were practically drooping and tempting her to go back to sleep. She resolved to call her mother and crossed her fingers, hoping greatly that her mom would pick up.

"Ding… Ding… Ding…"

"Ugh… Where are you when I need you mom…" Sakura groaned to herself. "Dad's always at work… he doesn't have time to talk to me."

Sakura tossed the phone across her bed and got off. To her astonishment, she was immediately pulled in a whirlwind of dizziness. She attempted to gain complete control and walk steadily across the room.

"… I think I've been in bed too long… I wonder if Sasuke's parents' are here?"

Sakura finally managed to get out of the room and noticed, as she walked down the cold, spiral stairs, a lot of papers laid dispersed on Sasuke's desk. She cocked her head and decided to take a peek at them. The papers ranged from varieties of the prince's school works. They included, AP Calculus papers, AP Government and Politics, and AP English books.

"Hmmm…" Sakura, looking around to see if anyone was watching her, collects the papers and books and brings them upstairs to her room.

ll - - - - - ll

Sakura searched the house. She checked in the kitchen, dining room, hallways, and the main room. No one seemed to be in the home but party decorations and favors were scattered all over the floor and drinks were spilled over the beautifully designed grounds and carpets.

Sakura sighed as she saw the great pandemonium in the manor. She awfully hated the sight of the trash all over the beautiful manor.

"I know I'll clean this up! Since I'm stuck here and even though I haven't even eaten lunch yet." Sakura went into the kitchen and grabbed a plastic bag. She trotted off to the main room when she abruptly encountered another maid in the house.

"Oh. Hi, I'm Sakura, what are you doing?"

"Cleaning up the mess you made… the Prince has ordered me to do so." The maid replied harshly. Sakura took note that the maid obviously doesn't like her.

"… oh… I'm very, very sorry I made such a mess. I'll clean it up-"

"No! I'll do it, besides, you're going to become the future princess of this household since the prince has chosen you… unfortunately… The princess never does any cleaning in the manor. It is very unsuited job for the likes of you…"

"What? That's okay. I'll clean, its no big deal," Sakura replied lightly. She started picking up the trash until the maid suddenly yelled at her.

"Stop that!"

Suddenly, the words the maid had emitted unlocked the key to Sakura's previously, missing memories. Her flashbacks brought her back to the time when she got stuck in a room with a guy who tried to rape her. She suddenly burst into tears, remembering the tragic horrors she had just encountered yesterday.

The maid suddenly stared at her, wondering what she had done to make she cry so much, although she wasn't feeling very sympathic.

"You know, you shouldn't really be here. People here just hate you and you just bring such disgrace and dishonor to the Uchiha family. As a princess you should be upholding and justifying the Uchiha's emblem on your clothing as well as your presence, but you're definitely not a person worthy of wearing the Uchiha crest on your clothes and neither fit to be a princess anyway. You should be running away anyway… didn't he already inform you?"

Sakura looked at the maid with such sorrow. She continued to listen to her with all her strength.

"He only choose you because you're a girl that probably hasn't heard of him before. He just needed a filler to pretend that he has a wife, or at least a girlfriend at the moment since his parents been nagging to him about becoming the next Lord. He doesn't need you and he's asking you to be a medical servant here. Lord Uchiha isn't going to help you become part of the medical field, you're just gonna stay here for now and keep the Prince's cover. Oh and don't try to call him or anybody else, the radio signals will not work on your phone either."

Completely hurt by the truth of her words, Sakura wheeled around and rushed into her room. Crying her heart out as every word she listened pierced her heart and shattered it into a million of pieces. What's seems to be the resolution to her problems only became another problem to overcome.

School

"Dude… Sasuke… that party was the best!" Naruto exclaimed. He punched Sasuke on the arm, but that didn't seem to unfazed him at all. " Man you're an expert at these things. You should do them more often! And why did you just stop the party so early?"

"Naruto… will you just shut-up."

"Geez… what's your prob? I heard that new girl was sleeping with your brother, are you ok with that?"

Sasuke sighed heavily. His life just turned into a whirlwind of disaster ever since "she" arrived into his life. Days and weeks are filled with the latest gossips on the "new girl." Covers on the news stands and media were drowned in the rumors of Sasuke's brother's love life. He knew well that he needs to get rid of her soon.

"Naruto I don't want to discuss this…" Sasuke abruptly leaves Naruto's side and heads towards the school's library.

Library

As he sat down at an empty table he took out some books and tried to do his homework. Girls chattered in the room with excited giggles and squeals of the Uchiha's presence. Suddenly, the small giggles died out as a hand slapped down on Sasuke's book.

"Hello Uchiha…" Mrs. Beau said with allurement.

"Hn."

"Doing homework again I see…"

"…"

"You know… I did assign a book to read along with it. I think you should go get it, it'll help you grasp your concepts a little better since I've been noticing you're having problems with your assignments…" The teacher whispered seductively. She touched Sasuke's shoulder lightly. Sasuke didn't say anything for a couple of seconds.

What the hell… Sasuke thought.

"You did…?"

"Want me to show you where to find it?" She offered earnestly.

"… no."

Mrs. Beau brushed her hand lightly against Sasuke's, immediately making him question about her motives.

"Just come with me."

Annoyed, Sasuke stood up and let her lead him into the farthest part of the library from the presence of other human interaction, and went behind a bookcase.

"Why are we here?" Sasuke suddenly demanded, noticing that the bookshelves they were at was filled with old english literature books.

"Its here that's why," the hot school teacher replied.

Sasuke stood in front of the bookcase and watched his teacher look for the book.

"Ah… there it is…" she said. She was facing towards Sasuke and her hand reached at the book nearest to his ear. Her fingers brushed lightly against it and in quick action the teacher suddenly fell forward as she took and step and her body landed against Sasuke's chest, their lips touching in the process.

Unluckily, someone was there to catch the whole scene on camera.

Lunch tables

The lunch tables were filled with people and definitely with the latest gossip. Unfortunately, the linchpin of humiliation was finally turning its face to someone else.

"OH MY GOD! THE PRINCE KISSED !!" Some school guys hollered.

'WHAT?!" The girls screamed in response. With such horror, majority of the girls stood up and ran to see what is possibly going on.

Commotion only multiplied again and again. Girl fainted in agony and Karin burst into ominous flames.

"What are we going to do now?" Rikku asked in pain.

"I'm gonna kill her… argh!" Karin expressed in frustration. "I can't believe that bitch got to him first!"

"She's tough…" Makota commented.

"Shut-up bitch. Let's concentrate our efforts on her now… I got a plan…"

"Sasuke!" Naruto hollered, running towards him. "Sasuke!"

"What now…"

"Sasuke, some guys are spreading rumors about you! They've got concrete proof too, that you kissed Mrs. Beau!" Naruto warned.

"What?!"

This was bad. Very bad. He can't allow himself to dishonor the Uchiha name or even hurt his pride more. He absolutely hated it. Once his parents find out, he's going to get an extremely long talk about pride and dishonor. About the essence and significance of the Uchiha crest.

"Argh…"

Manor

It was night. The moon smiled upon the eternal blanket that shrouded the sun's ray of light, transparent through the nocturnal environment. The black clouds rolled over the thin air and silence pierced the winds. The young prince was occupied in his room, busy with his multitudes of issues.

"So you two are going to stay there for a couple more days…? You'll be back on Monday? Yeah alright."

Sasuke hangs up on the phone and plops onto his black, leather chair. He pressed the sides of his temples together and breathed heavily in frustration.

"Damn… I have to go to a meeting, which I'll have absolutely no time to do my stupid school work…"

"Uh… Sasuke…" A small voice struggled to enunciate.

Sasuke looked up from his desk and saw a very depressed Sakura holding something familiar. In fact, that something was his books.

Sasuke lifted an eyebrow and glared at her.

"Why the hell do you have my books?"

"Sasuke…" Sakura said in more like a question. "I d-did your homework for you… I've heard… that you have a lot of meetings and-"

"What?" He snarled. "You've been eavesdropping on my conversations haven't you."

"W-wh-what?! No! Of course not!" Sakura was really trying hard to suppress the tears from welling up in her eyes. "I-I just wanted to help you… on your homework… I tried to my best of my ability to copy your handwriting… I studied it so that you won't get in trouble-"

"Stop. I don't need your help."

Sakura swallowed hard, ignored his anger, and tried again.

"A-And I wrote on separate sheets of paper… notes… so that you're not missing out on the learning w-when you d-do the homework…"

Sasuke didn't say anything and neither was he feeling sympathic. He just waited for her to hand him his books.

"… Ever since you came here… all you did was shatter my life into pieces," Sakura reluctantly listened as she approached the prince to placed his books onto his desk. She took note of a magazine on his desk with a front page practically shouting out Sasuke and his Calculus teacher kissing.

"All this shit would never happen if you'd just listen to me and not do the idiotic things you do…" Sasuke stood up from his seat and approached Sakura with intense gazing eyes. His figured hovered over her small figurine. "You're living under the household of a legendary clan, which you should've known already. Furthermore, if you're at least have the common sense to act polite, we would've never encounter the many problems revolving around us." Sasuke growled. "And you should've been studying your lessons… Karin's been telling me you've haven't even looked at your books ever."

"W-what books?!" Sakura asked in complete shock. She had absolutely no idea what he was talking about.

Sasuke sighed in frustration. "The books you need to memorize to become the Princess of this household…. Ugh… you know what... I'm just going to kick you out-"

Sakura staring at him in complete silence and uttering shock. Suddenly realizing that she can't stop the pressuring cries anymore, her tears gushed out uncontrollably and her knees collapsed to the floor. She buried her face in her palms.

"SA-SASUKE YOUR S-S-SUCH A JERK! I H-HATE YOU!" Sakura cried in pain, she suddenly placed a hand to her side. "Yo-you don't deserve to be a prince! Neither even have a wife by your side!"

Sakura sniffed loudly and looked up to glare at the Prince, who was actually listening to her for once with full attention. She tried to be serious even though she let herself vulnerable to the cold man. Her eyes fought to extract the angry spirit roaming in her aura.

"Yo-you just keep accusing me of your suffering! Have you ever had a thought that maybe its just… you!" Sakura yelled. "Or maybe the things I do, maybe they weren't my intentions. I've never wanted to cause you the humiliation that your experiencing…"

Sakura sobbed and let herself sniffed loudly. Sasuke continued to watch her.

"I thought I was going to be a medical servant when I first came here… I thought I could finally help my family rise out of the hell they're living in. The large debts that seem to consume the mere life we exist on earth. We're struggling and when I thought I finally got the luckiest opportunity to learn firsthand education to become successful… you put out the last light I had in this peril of darkness. In just seconds…" the blossoms tried to stop her constant stuttering and stifling, "you take my life away like it doesn't have anything meaningful to you. AND… If-if that's all you want… a stupid title that would only serve to strengthen the sinister pride that's serves no purpose but to feed your ravenous ego!... than GO TO HELL!"

Sakura cried so much, Sasuke stared at her, completely shocked by her uttering words. No one has ever told him words with such the likes.

"I've been tricked. Tricked to play your nasty games on an innocent 'childish' girl. And yet, you still continue your tortures by depriving me from contact with my parents as well?! What kind of person are you?!"

He glanced at her, finding she had disappeared and left him to the loneliness he desired.

ll - - - - - ll

"PRINCE!" A man barged into the Uchiha Sasuke's room. "Prince! You're going to be late for your meeting!"

Sasuke sat in his seat, emotionless and in a trance. He stared at his papers on his desk and noticed how perfect Sakura actually foraged his handwriting. The papers idly laid under the his desk, lamp's light, exposing the notes Sakura created. He stared at them, impressed that the math problems he didn't understand earlier were made clear to him in these notes she created for him.

Sasuke reminisce on what Sakura just yelled at him a minute ago.

"Yo-you don't deserve to be a prince! Neither even have a wife by your side!"

"Yo-you just keep accusing me of your suffering! Have you ever had a thought that maybe its just… you!"

-if that's all you want… a stupid title that would only serve to strengthen the sinister pride that's serves no purpose but to feed your ravenous ego!... than GO TO HELL!"

Sasuke couldn't hear the voice of the man who tried to snap Sasuke out of his trance. Somehow, even in the mist of all the chaos, the blossom even helped him as well.

"Ugh… its my fault…"

"Uchiha-sama, what is your fault?"

"…Ugh…" Sasuke suddenly got up from his seat and went up into Sakura's room. He urgently knocked on the door.

"Oi! Open up."

"…"

"Hey."

Suddenly realizing why she wouldn't open the door, he pulled out a key in his pocket and opened her door swiftly, just in time to see Sakura dumping her packed bags over the balcony.

Sasuke quickly sprinted to her.

"SAKURA!"

Sakura abruptly stopped her movement in shock.

Was that Sasuke? Calling my name…?

She didn't allow herself to waste anytime as she attempted to jump off until she felt a large force pull her back from falling off.

She felt an arm quickly wrap around her chest and swiftly pull her off the balcony edge. She felt herself fall on top of the prince but he simply pushed her aside. He quickly got up and went to untie the "rope" she created out of blankets off the balcony bars. Sakura bolted towards Sasuke and tried pulling him away, but he was far stronger than her.

"Stop! Stop!" Sakura started pounding her fists onto Sasuke's back, but it didn't hurt him too much. He was soon done untying the rope.

Sasuke abruptly spun around and grabbed Sakura's hands. Sakura struggled to set herself free and tried to move wildly to break free from his firm grasp. Her movements were unfortunately futile against the prince's strong figure.

He noticed her boldness to even hit someone of the likes like him. Suddenly Sakura groaned in pain.

"Argh…"

Sasuke released her from his grip and watched her grip the side of her stomach in a little agony.

"Hey, what's wrong," Sasuke asked. He reached out to touch her sides when she suddenly snapped into anger.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!"

Sasuke lifted an eyebrow. "Sakura… let me look at it…"

"No! And why the hell are you so nice to me all of a sudden?!"

Sasuke sighed.

"…."

Sakura stared at him. He wasn't looking at her.

"You have to show me… or else I can't help you…" Sasuke offered reluctantly. "Show me… Sakura."

Sakura looked at Sasuke in great confusion but uttering surprise about the way she felt when he whispers her name. She couldn't remember if this was only the first times he ever acknowledged her by her name. Sakura couldn't help but feel a bit content about her superior effect on him now. The newly ring of her voice slipping from the prince's lips were a peasant tone to hear. She felt her insides churn a bit by the prince's newfound concern for her well being. Maybe now, she might gain the friend she wanted from him.

Sakura finally gave up resisting him, hence the pain was to much now that she needed help badly, and lifted up her shirt just a bit to expose the sides of her stomach as it evidently showed ripped off flesh from her fair skin.

"What?! Who done this to you?!" Sasuke demanded.

"Why would you care-"

"Ugh… you should've shown me this earlier…"

"That wouldn't matter cause you wouldn't had listen to me anyway."

Sasuke was annoyed again by her comments.

"Whatever… just go take a shower and go to bed… I'll come back…" Sasuke assured. Sakura felt better and still a bit shocked to see the cold hearted prince so nice to her. "… do what I say… for this once…"

"… Ok…"

Sasuke left the room and left Sakura alone to herself once again. He quickly grabbed his Louis Vutton trench coat and went to one of his maids.

"Hey. Bring the princess some food and attend to her wounds. She's hurt and if you can't, call one of the medical servants in the household," Sasuke firmly demanded.

"Oh, Uchiha-sama wait," the maid called after.

The young prince revolved to face his servant.

"The police wanted to notify you of something before they come here."

"What?!"

The maid turned in a letter to the Uchiha. He earnestly stripped the envelope open to see that a letter was enclosed to Miss Haruno. Perplexed by the reason the letter was addressed to his house though, he was soon dead in complete silence as he read the first line of the letter's message.

Dear Miss Haruno,

There is no easy way to say this… your parents are dead…
