Hikarru: Gotta hurry and finish this series.

Sasuke: Why the rush?

Hikarru: Haven't you heard of 2012?

Sasuke: That's a bunch of BS.

Hikarru: Whatever you say, Teme.

Sasuke: You are so gullible.

Hikarru: Just do the disclaimer.

Sasuke: Hikarru doesn't own anything pertaining to Naruto.

Hikarru: PLEASE, VOTE IN MY POLL! Now, please enjoy the chapter!

We were at school and we were… holding hands.

People gave us looks and I didn't like the feeling of their eyes on us. Kiba gave my hand a reassuring squeeze.

"Don't worry." he said, "I won't let anyone hurt you, ok?"

I smiled at him. I wasn't nervous about that, I was nervous about facing Naruto. How would he react to this? I know he likes me, and I'm pretty sure he will be mad because I usually say that I hate when people confess to me. Now that I have a boyfriend… He'll probably be mad at me.

We walked into Iruka-Sensei's classroom, me and Kiba's hands still intertwined.

The whole room gasped.

Iruka-Sensei looked at us and sighed, "Both of you, go take a seat."

We did as we were told and took our seats.

I felt a poke at my back. I turned around and saw Ino smirking at me.

"So, you and Kiba are 'doing it' now, eh?" Ino asked, her smirk never faltering.

"What?" I realized what she meant, "Shut up, Ino."

"Why don't you make me, little Sakura?" she growled.

"We all know why you two are together." Temari said, "Because you are a whore and he beats you so you won't leave him."

I lost it. I lunged at Temari and began to punch her. She tore at my hair and throat. We NEVER fought before. Temari was STRONG. She punched me so hard that I got dizzy, but I never stopped my attacks.

Iruka-Sensei pulled me off of her and I said the most hurtful thing that I probably EVER said in my whole life, "The reason why Shikamaru doesn't like you is because you are the whore, not me!"

You'd expect Temari to kill me right there, but she did the opposite of that. She broke down crying and ran out of the room.

We were all speechless. I must of really hit her where it hurt most. Most people gave me a mean look and sat back down.

"You are so dead." Ino growled as she ran after Temari.

"That was harsh." Kiba said.

"I didn't mean to say it. It just came out…" I sat back down.

…

I was walking home after school. Kiba was walking me home, but I told him that I was ok. He didn't buy it, but he did as he was told and went home.

I knew what my fate was as soon as I saw Ino and her thugs appear in my path.

"Sakura." Ino growled.

"What do you want?" I challenged her.

"You did a naughty thing, Sakura." Ino said, "You have angered Temari and have hurt her. What do you have to say for yourself?"

"She deserved it." I said nonchalantly.

Ino was getting angry because she wasn't getting a reaction from me, "Get her!"

Her thugs ran towards me. I dodged them all, punching a few of them. Suddenly, one of them hit me from behind and knocked me unconscious.

…

I woke in the hospital. What's new? I am ALWAYS here. My whole body hurt.

"You're awake." came a familiar voice.

I looked to see Kiba right by my bed.

"Hey." I smiled.

"Hey, you ok?" Kiba asked.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Ino and her stupid thugs happened to beat you up and make you internally bleed… again."

"I see."

"Damn her!"

"Calm down, Kiba. I deserved it."

"No, you did not!"

I was startled by his outburst.

"Sakura." Kiba said, "You are kind, kind to everyone. I don't understand why people want to hurt you."

I ruffled his hair and he managed a small smile.

"You want to… listen to music?" he asked as he got out his ipod.

"Sure." I put an earphone into my ear.

He turned on his ipod and laid down beside me in the hospital bed.

He allowed me to pick the song, so I picked "Teen Angst" by M83.

"How fast we burn.
How fast we cry.
The more we learn.
The more we die.
The more we learn.
The more we cry.
How fast we burn.
How fast we die.
I hear the planet crying now.
I hear the planet crying now."

We laid there, listening to the music, and eventually, we fell fast asleep.

Hikarru: I DO NOT OWN M83 OR THE SONG! Thank you.

Sasuke: Teen Angst? Wow.

Hikarru: I like this song, thank you very much!

Sasuke: Because you are angst-y.

Hikarru: No! Teme… Anyway, please vote in my poll, as I always say. Mata ne, Mina-San!
