" Ah, lunch is finally here! I'm famished!" Sakura said as she started down the hall to the cafeteria. She had just got done with fifth period and forgot to eat breakfast that morning.

As she turned the coner, she stopped abruptly to see who she had almost run into. Unfortunatly it was Ino Yamanaka,the most sassy bitch of the school. Ino had blonde hair that reached down to her butt and blue ice eyes. She stood in front of Sakura and a smirk appeared on her face.

" We've been looking for you everywhere Forehead." she said as snobby as ever. Sakura just replied dully, " What do you want Ino." More like Princess Royal Pain in the Ass! Sakura thought

Ino stared at how much Sakura had changed and then grabbed some of Sakura's pink locks. " My,my Sakura, how much you've grown up!" Ino said sarcasticly.

Sakura gave Ino a deathly glare and slapped Ino hand off her hair. " Don't touch my hair!" she said angrily.

Ino just stared for a while and asked Sakura meanly," So how has your mom been, haven't seen her in a while!"

Sakura's eyes widened a little as she but her head down,Bangs covering her emerald orbs. "She...she's dead," she replied sounding ready to cry.

" Oh yes, dear me I forgot! She died protecting you right, or at least that's what I heard." Ino smirked knowing she had hit Sakura's weak spot.

Sakura stood there with her head still down in the same position. She couldn't help but remember how she died.

Flashback...It happened not even a year ago...

She lived with her mother in a small house and her parents had been divorced for just about a month now. Sakura remembered how her father had vowed that he would come back to take Sakura with him. It was quite scary to her, she had never seen her father so angry before. But she knew he was probably drunk again. She barely remembered that day and had practically forgotten him too. Sakura had also been living with her mother ever since and nothing had happened...yet.

It was a gloomy day and Sakura was laying upstairs in her room doing nothing in particular. Then there was a knock on the door as her mother bursted in. "Sakura hurry, we have to go now." she told her.

Sakura just stared confused and nodded. She sat up on her bed, put on her shoes, and walked quickly out of the room.

As they walked down the hall, Sakura looked curiously up at her rushing mother. She looked very worried and was very pale.

' I can't let HIM get her. Not now, not ever even if he kills me! And if he does, before I go I will tell her to go to Konoha. A place where He will never be able to touch her. I warned Tsunade-sama that he would come back and to be prepared. Today is the day! Her mother thought a they ran out of the building.

They turned left only to be stopped dead in their tracks by none other than Sakura's father. He was drunk again and looked worse than ever before.

He stared walkind toward them slowly.

Sakura and her mother were trembling so harsh, but Sakura's mother was shaking far more furiously. She was shaki8ng so bad that she couldn't move.

As he approached them he murmured," Stupid bitch of a woman I'm going to kill her today."

Sakura heard her fathers harsh words and stood in front of her mother making him stop in his tracks.

" D.d..don't y-you d-dare t-t-touch m-my m-mother!" she screamed at him.

He stared at her and said," What have you turned my daughter into!"

Sakura was then pushed aside gently, or so it seemed to a drunken person and fell harshly to the ground. She felt sudden pain in her ankle and relized she couldn't get up. She trembled with great fear as her once fun-loving father smacked and beat her mother who was struggling to fight back.

After a while of fighting fiercly her mother said," Run Sakura to the place where your Aunt lives and say there with her!" Sakura's mother felt one final smack before falling to the ground dead.

As her father slowly made his way toward her she thought, ' run,run Sakura, go to where Aunt Tsunade lives, go to...Konoha!'

She heard his voice say," Come here you litle runt, your going to live with Daddy now!"

When she heard him she got up and started to run away as fast as she could and yelled back,"NO,NO! I DONT WANT TO LIVE WITH A MONSTER LIKE YOU!" and ran off toward the village of Konoha.

Her father still hadnt found her but heard that he was still out there, searching for her and geting ready to beat her like he did her mother. Sakura had been in Konoha ever since.

End of flashback.

Tears started to slowly drift down her face.

Ino smirked and tolled her followers to leave each banging into Sakura's shoulders as they left.

Sakura finally calmed down and wipped away her tears as she heard a voice behind her say," Are you okay?"

She whipped around to find that it was none other than Uchiha Sasuke.
