"W-What?! I was just joking Sasuke, I mean, you really think we should run away?!"

"Sakura" said Sasuke, squeezing her hands lovingly "This is child abuse, which ever way you look at it. You cannot just let your parents get away with this. Come on Sakura, let's really do it"

Sasuke and Sakura were still both kneeling on the floor. Sakura looked down at her lap and bit her lip.

"Sakura, look at you..." Sasuke said quietly, more sadly "You have a cut on your lip and several bruises all round your face, and your nose is bleeding...Are you seriously going to just put up with this?"

Sakura then looked up at him. "Alright Sasuke, let's do it! Let's really run away together!"

Sasuke looked relieved and leaned forward to kiss Sakura on the forehead and then embrace her in a tight, warming hug. Sakura let herself just melt into him.

"Don't worry" Sasuke whispered in her ear, kissing her neck "I'll get you out of here..."

"SAAAAAKKKKKUUURRRRAAAAAAA!!" a deafening voice screeched, ringing in both of their ears. "Who the hell are you talking to in there?!"

Sakura immediately flew into panic-mode. "Oh, shit! Sasuke, quick, hide under the bed!!"

Sasuke scrambled under the bed, so quick it was as if he had just disappeared, while Sakura quickly stood up and wiped her face a little.

The door swang open.

Sakura's father lunged into her room.

"Who were you talking to, you little bitch?! ANSWER ME!"

"I-I was just t-talking to myself... umm.."

"Don't lie to me, damnit! Who is here with you?!"

"Nobody is! I swear, AAAHHH!"

Sakura screamed as her father slapped her round the face. He then grabbed Sakura's shirt and pushed her up against the wall.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't talking to anyone, I swear..."

"What did I just tell you, you little SLUT!! I've had enough of you, you break our window, then run out on us when we locked you in here, and come home with hickies! Who in the hell would want to give you a hickie?! Im SICK of your bullshit!!"

Sakura's father then slapped her again. Sakura whimpered in pain as she was hit.

Underneath the bed, Sasuke was holding back tears. He wanted to help her, but at the same time he couldn't blow his cover...

Suddenly, there was a man standing behind Sakura's father who had appeared as if from nowhere. "Steve..." Sakura mumbled.

"Take care of 'er steve..." Her father said, walking out of the room and closing the door behind him.

Only when Sakura's father was pissed off to the highest extent would his friend Steve come over and rape Sakura. Steve liked young, japanese girls, and so to her father, this was the ultimate punishment.

"He must be really angry with me tonight..." Sakura thought. Only twice before had Sakura been raped by him, and those were times when he was beyond enraged.

Steve came overto her, pinned her up against the wall, and quickly started to unzip his pants.

Sakura was in hysterical tears. She sobbed uncontrollably. "No... please..." She whimpered "We can do this another t-time okay? I'll c-come home from school t-tomor..UGGH!"

Sakura was punched by Steve. "Shut up, you little whore!"

Steve ran his hand up Sakura's shirt and started fiddling with the fasten on her bra, while forcing his rough lips onto hers. His other hand ran up her skirt along the inside of her thigh. He moaned Seductively.

Sakura was powerless to do anything. She stood there and waited for it all to end.

Back underneath the bed, Sasuke had been watching everything. This was too much for him to handle. He couldn't under any circumstances let this happen. Without holding any of his anger back, he got up and drove a kunai into the top of the disgusting man's back. Steve screamed out loud, and then fell to the ground, motionless.

Sakura's father, convinced it was a scream of ecstacy, did nothing and simply smirked.

Sakura looked up at Sasuke. Through her own blood and tears, she saw that Sasuke was also crying.

He didn't say anything. Nothing needed to be said. Sasuke simply stepped forward and hugged the poor, thin girl infront of him. Sakura hugged him back, just as tightly.

"Th-this is too much, Sakura." Sasuke said through his tears. "I'm going to get you out of here, r-right now...quick, come with me..."

Sasuke took her hand, and very quietly, they both jumped out of her bedroom window, avoiding the broken glass on the way.

When they reached the ground, they ran full pelt away from Sakura's house. They didn't know where yet. Anywhere would be better than Sakura's house.

It was already 10 P.M, and it was dark out. While they were running, Sasuke panted to Sakura, "We can go to my house for tonight, just to get some rest, and to clean you up before we decide where we're going to go...The rest of my family is not at home right now"

They ran on, their feet striking the ground at full speed, until they reached Sasuke's house. They both stopped to catch their breath.

Sakura had stopped crying by now, but still looked deeply disturbed. She looked down at her feet. She was mortified from what had just happened. Sasuke hadn't known her abuse was this far. With a worried look at Sakura, Sasuke turned the key in the lock and opened the door. They both entered.

Sasuke's house was a typical two storey house, with a kitchen and a dining room to the left, and a sitting room to the right. Sasuke took Sakura's hand and led her upstairs to a bedroom, which had a double king size bed, and an en-suite bathroom. Sasuke sat Sakura down on the bed. "Wait here" he told her. "I'll be back in just a second"

Sasuke went to his room, and got Sakura some clothes. He picked out a simple brown t-shirt and navy pair of pants for her to sleep in. He returned to the bedroom where Sakura sat and handed her the clothes into her hands.

"You can sleep in these tonight." he said to her softly. "Here, you can take a shower in the bathroom just there. There are towels already hanging up."

Sakura took the clothes. She looked at Sasuke with a look of utter gratitude. She stood up.

"Sasuke,... Arigato geseinmas..." she whispered, and kissed him tenderly, seemingly still too degraded to acknowledge him properly. She went into the bathroom carrying her clothes, and a few seconds later, Sasuke heard the shower going.

In the shower, Sakura washed off all the blood and dirt that was on her. She washed her hair, and cleaned her wounds carefully. When she got out and into her clothes that Sasuke had given her, she felt so much better. It was amazing what a simple shower could do to someone.

She followed sounds that she heard from downstairs. Downstairs, Sasuke had made them both a bowl of miso soup, and cup ramen.

Upon, seeing her Sasuke smiled. "Thought you might be hungry," he said.

Sakura was in fact starving. She had had no dinner that night, on account of her father, and had an extremely small lunch. Because of her abusive parents, she often got fed very little.

"Ohh, Sasuke, this is soo sweet of you... thankyou so much..."

They both sat down and began to eat. Sakura was gulping down her miso soup when Sasuke broke the silence.

"Sakura...I never knew your abuse went this far..."

"..."

"Do you get ...raped often?"

Sakura swallowed. "No..My father must have been really angry tonight. I only get raped when he's really angry at me...I've only been raped twice before.. and usually I just get hit..."

Sasuke's fists clenched. Twice before already?? Just hearing this was torture for him.

"Sakura, I feel terrible that you've had to go through all this...From now on, I swear on my life, that you will never get abused by anyone, ever again."

Sakura and Sasuke's hands met, and squeezed tightly. "Arigato.."Sakura whispered, so thankful that she was lost for words.

They ate together slowly. Sakura found out that Sasuke only lived with his brother Itachi, who was apparently away at some girls house that night. Both his parents had been killed when he was very young. She then told Sasuke about Esmee, her step mother and what had happened to her real mother.

"I thought she wasn't your mother!" Sasuke exclaimed. "Neji said she looked nothing like you"

Then Sakura realized. "So that's how you saw through..." She giggled slightly.

They both talked throughout the rest of their meal. At the end, both extremely tired, they went upstairs to bed. Sakura got into the big king sized bed, and Sasuke snuggled up beside her.

"Sasuke..."Sakura said quietly

"hmm?"

"Thankyou for doing all this for me..."

Sasuke kissed Sakura passionately on the lips in place of answer, his hand stroking through her short pink hair. Sakura returned the kiss, pulling his body closer to hers. They both fell asleep peacefully in eachother's arms.
