Please note that everything in bold,italic is all Tayuya's thoughts!!

Plot Credit: Bitter Sweet (Gave me the ideas and such, basically my inspiration)

"Hey doll face, long time no screw, eh?" Sasuke asked smirking, Sakura pulled away from him, her body shaking with fear, her face pale and her eyes wide.

"W-What are…you doing…here?" Sakura stuttered, vaguely wondering if he could even understand her. His smirk widened, how was that even possible?

"I was in the neighborhood, your pink hair isn't exactly hard to miss," Sasuke said as he took a lock of her long pink hair and smelled it, "Still smells like bubblegum, and still so long. Don't you ever grow up?"

"…." Sakura remained silent, Sasuke chuckled.

"Well, I guess I may have forced you to," Sasuke said smiling in the most sickening manor ever, "I don't think my message quiet sunk into you baby, how about we have some more fun,"

He pulled her close. What was wrong with him? Sakura couldn't find her voice, Sasuke's hand reaching for her breasts.

"No," Sakura shrieked pushing him away.

Why is this happening to me again? Sakura thought as she tried to fight off Sasuke. Why do these abominable horrors keep happening to me?

She turned to run having temporarily sent Sasuke sprawling in the other direction. He growled and lunged for her.

"Someone, somebody," Sakura cried, but it seemed her voice was so small. He grabbed her hand, it was suddenly burning, her hand. It hurt, what was he doing?

Nobody is coming to save me…

"You," Sasuke growled, his eyes cold a scowl on his face.

Even God can't save me. Sakura closed her eyes waiting for the blow when a deafening loud blow forced her to open her eyes in astonishment. Gaara had broken off a pole from somewhere and he had smashed it into Sasuke's arm.

This is the first time that I felt like I have been woken form my nightmare

I can't look at her Gaara thought, his breathing hard his face contorted with anger, I can't touch her, I like her too much. It's hopeless. I know too much about her sad past. Her old boyfriend raped her, and to this girl what the hell was that son of a bitch trying to do to her?

"The bone it's broken," Sasuke gasped, Sakura stared at him, then at Gaara.

"It's pigs like you…" Gaara growled as he raised the pole for one final blow, "It's because of pigs like you that…"

Sakura ran infront, she couldn't let someone die, she couldn't let Gaara loose himself, kill someone.

"…no…s-stop, please you'll kill him," Sakura said running in front of him.

"So what if I kill him?" Gaara yelled tears pouring down his face, "Guys like him should die,"

"You're crazy," Sasuke growled as he ran off quickly. Gaara made to a move to follow him, but Sakura grabbed his hands keeping him from moving.

"…." Sakura was silent staring into his face.

"It's because of pigs like him that are ruining people's lives. So what if I had killed him the world would have been so much better off," Gaara cried, his shoulders shaking with rage, tears of hatred and lost control trickling down his face.

"Gaara-kun," Sakura said softly as she wiped his tears away her hand caressing his cheek,"Don't cry anymore…"

"How about you stay at Tayuya's house? She lives near me, not to mention she's your friend, and you're both girls so…" Gaara faltered, "So you won't feel awkward,"

Ring, Ring, Ring

"I got it," Tayuya yelled and opened the door only to be stunned with the picture that met her eyes. Sakura and Gaara stood at her door, their clothes splattered with blood, Gaara's eyes red from…crying? And Sakura's clothes torn slightly, a few minor cuts on her legs and face.

"…You two have a fight or something?" Tayuya asked her eyes wide.

"…No…" Gaara said and walked into the kitchen. He was probably going to make something to eat.

"How about you take a bath," Tayuya suggested, "I have some extra clothes you can wear, go on, it's fine!"

Sakura reluctantly went into the bathroom carrying some clothes Tayuya had given her. The moment the door closed Tayuya half ran into the kitchen and death glared Gaara.

"What the hell was that?" Tayuya demanded.

"Nothing," Gaara said as he turned the stove on, a pan with some food on it.

"Don't you nothing me, you come to my house with cuts, bloodied clothes, and teary eyes and you expect me to believe that nothing happened?" Tayuya growled.

"Tayuya, if you really want to know, first you should go talk to Sakura and second what is in Sakura's past that someone who cared about Sakura would try to protect her from?" Gaara said, and with that final word he returned to cooking.

After some time passed and Sakura was still in the bathroom, Gaara thanked Tayuya for helping Sakura and without another word left. Tayuya sighed. Finally Sakura got out of the shower dressed in some old nightclothes that Tayuya didn't wear.

"Thank you so much Tayuya," Sakura said softly, Tayuya nodded.

"Hey…did Gaara save you from some perv dude, like some rapist, or molester?" Tayuya asked.

"…" Sakura was silent; she took a bit of the food, "Yum it's good,"

"Thanks…I'm guessing I hit the nail right on the head," Tayuya said, Sakura nodded still not looking at her friend.

"Gaara is a good guy, that's definitely why he did it. Besides, if I were in any kind of trouble like that he would save me too," Tayuya said, Sakura raised the food up to take a bit, "Well Good night,"

Sakura never did take that bit…

xTayuya's Flashbackx

"Hey Tayuya want to play baseball," Gaara asked eagerly, Tayuya giggled.

"Yah!" She said eagerly dancing from foot to foot with anticipation. They began playing and accidentially Gaara hit a bee's nest.

"Damn…run Tayuya," Gaara hollered and he took off running as fast as his short legs would let him run. Tayuya trailing after him, but she was no match. Even though she was older she was shorter and he outran her quickly. The bees caught up to Tayuya, and she began to cry.

You never did stop whenever something of this sort happened

Gaara looked back surprised, and walked back.

"What, you couldn't keep up? But your older then me, you're ten you should be able to keep up," Gaara said, Tayuya was still crying.

"Sorry, I'm really sorry," Gaara said

And I would forgive him with merely that one honest heart set word. But now, I'm sure if I were in any real danger he would stop and help me

"Hey Sakura, this is my spare uniform. You can borrow it," I said handing over my uniform to Sakura.

"Ah, thank you Tayuya," Sakura said smiling at me, I nodded.

That's why what I said last night wasn't a lie. It was not a lie, was it…?

xEnd Tayuya's Flashbackx

Sakura and Tayuya walked to the school bus stop that would take them to school, the two friends chatting merrily about some new band that they apparently had different opinions on.

"H-hey," Gaara said.

"M-morning," Sakura replied softly, Tayuya watched the two silent for a few seconds.

"Where you waiting for us?" Tayuya asked, the option dawning on her.

"Well I wanted to get my jacket back," Gaara said quickly, Tayuya raised an eyebrow.

You suck at lying, you just wanted to see Sakura Tayuya thought, "Why would you want to wear that blood covered thing?"

"…it's that bad?" Gaara asked, obviously he hadn't realized that. Tayuya sighed, and grabbed the jacket from her bag flinging it in Gaara's direction.

"Well I got most of it out," Tayuya said as if it were no big deal.

"Thanks Tayuya, Sorry," Gaara said, Tayuya turned slightly and watched as Gaara and Sakura walked together side by side.

No fair Gaara. With that one word…all is forgiven…

If something were to happen to me you would save me right? You would just have more composure and you would never be as frantic as you were last night.

Gaara you are an idiot…I'm an idiot…

"Why did Sakura and Gaara come to school together," Ino shrieked to Tayuya as she watched Sakura and Gaara enter the school grounds together.

And she is a total moron…

Ino is baaacckk, get ready for some payback time Sakura and Gaara
