The two girls grabbed Sakura by her shoulders and pinned her to the ground. Yuki started slapping, punching, and kicking the poor girl. Sakura felt her heart beating fast. Don't panic! Don't panic! The
doctors always told me not to panic or my heart can go out. Sakura coughed out blood. "Please stop!" She begged. Yuki smirked. She kicked her extra hard that Sakura fell unconscious. "That should teach her!"
Yuki took out some rope, tape, and cloth out of her book bag. She ties Sakura hands and feet while the other two blindfold her and tape her mouth. "Where should we hide her Yuki?" The girl asked. Yuki
smirked. "I have the perfect place. Follow me." The two girls dragged carried Sakura while Yuki led them to the Boys Gym Locker room. "Are you crazy, Yuki?" The girls both said. "We can't hide her in here!
We're not even allowed in here." Yuki ignored them. She opened up an empty locker and smiled. "This is perfect. Stick her in here." (The lockers are big enough to stick people in there.) The girls were a nervous
about this. Sure, beating her up was bad. But sticking her in a locker was bad. Sakura then was inside the locker with no way out unless someone opened it. Yuki and the girls then left to go back to gym without
being noticed.

-Gym Class-
The boys were busy playing some basketball talking about some things. "I can't believe you enjoy being with Traci, Teme." Naruto said as he passed the ball to Neji. "I'm dumping her anyway; I have another girl
in mind." Sasuke said taking the ball and throwing it into the basket. "That's just troublesome." Shikamaru said. Neji nodded. "Maybe you should just stick with one girl and you know not date a lot." Sasuke
narrowed his eyes. "Hn. Whatever." Naruto looked around the gym. "That's weird. Every other girl is here but Sakura-chan is the only one missing. I wonder where she is." The boys shrugged. "Maybe she's just
doing something different." Shikamaru said. "Or maybe she's just hungry and went to go get some ramen." "You and your ramen." Neji said as he hit Naruto on the head. "Ok! That's enough everyone! Gym is
over!" The coach yelled. "Finally! This class is starting to be boring." Shikamaru muttered. "You're the one who's boring." All the boys went to the locker rooms and got changed. "Let's go, we can't be late for
our other classes." Sasuke said as he left the locker room. Neji and Shikamaru followed along. "Wait for me!" Naruto yelled as he was trying to find his locker. Now which locker did I use? I can't remember! He
thought. The others had already left. "What's that red stuff?" He asked himself. Red ooze was dripping from one of the lockers. Naruto started walking towards the locker. He slowly opened it
and…"Aaaaaaaauuuuuuugggghhhhhhhhhhhh! SAKURA-CHAN!" He yelled. Sakura fell out of the locker motionless. Naruto picked her up. "What in the world happened? Teme! Neji! Shikamaru! Come back here!
I need your help!" he yelled.

-Outside of the locker room-
"Teme! Neji! Shikamaru! Come back here! I need your help!" Naruto yelled. "What could the dobe want?" Sasuke asked pushing himself off the wall. "He probably doesn't remember where his locker is again. Let's
go help him." Neji suggested going inside the room. Sasuke and Shikamaru reluctantly followed. "What do you want Naru—what the hell!" Sasuke yelled. "Isn't that Sakura? What is she doing here all bloody?"
Neji rushing to her side untying her. He took off the blindfold. Her eyes were closed but she was struggling a lot. He took off the tape. Sakura coughed up more blood. "This isn't good. We need to tell some."
Shikamaru ran off to tell the coach. Sasuke was horrified. Sakura kept on coughing. The coach and Shikamaru came in then. "This is bad. We need to get medical help. Now!" Neji took out his cell phone.
"I'm on it." He dialed 911 and asked for an ambulance to take Sakura to a hospital. The coach tilted his head to Sasuke. "Sasuke, can you carry Sakura on your back so we can go outside and wait for the
medics?" Sasuke nodded. The coach and Naruto helped Sakura onto Sasuke's back. Then they went
outside.

-Back in Suna- (Suna is Sakura's hometown)
Gaara was at school. He was busy talking to his friends about sports when he started felt some sort of
"feeling". "Sakura!" He whispered. "Hey Gaara, you okay?" One of his friends asked. Gaara shook his
head. He left the class room and took out his cell and dialed Sakura's number. The "feeling was getting
worse and worse which made him even more worried. "Hello?" A voice that wasn't Sakura's.
"Naruto? Is that you? What are you doing with Sakura's phone?" There was a slight pause. "Gaara?
Yeah, it's me Naruto. Listen, Sakura-chan is in trouble! I found her tied up unconscious in the locker
room. We're taking her to the hospital." Gaara felt like his heart stopped. "I'm coming over there!
Take care of Sakura! If something happens to her I'll kill you. I knew she shouldn't have gone to that
school!" He slammed his fist on the wall. "Take it easy Gaara! The ambulance is here. I'll see you
later." He hung up then. Gaara shoved his phone in his pocket and went back to the class. He went up
to one of his friends. "Gavin, you can drive. Right?" Gavin nodded. "Good. Drive me to Konoha
Hospital now. Sakura needs me right now." As soon as Gaara said Sakura Gavin grabbed his keys and
left. Gaara came along. Everybody from Suna High knew Sakura and loved her. Gavin drove really
fast trying to get to Konoha hospital as soon as possible. Gaara felt tears come to his eyes. He hoped
that Sakura was going to be alright.

-Konoha Hospital-
The doctors rushed Sakura to the emergency room fast. "If she doesn't do well with the next few hours
we will have to perform surgery." The doctor said. Naruto, Shikamaru, Neji, Sasuke, and the coach
were in the waiting room. Naruto was scared. "I hope Sakura-chan will survive. I wonder who did this
to her." The others were silent. Sasuke kept on getting calls non-stop from Traci and some other girls.
"I need Kyuubi!" Naruto then took out his favorite stuffed fox and held it close to him. "What the hell
is that thing you're holding, dobe?" Sasuke asked. Naruto stuck out his tongue. "It's not a "thing" It's
my favorite stuffed animal that I had since I was a baby. The hospital told me that my parents gave it to
me before they disappeared." A tear the dropped to the floor. "It's ok, Naruto." Neji said. He wasn't
actually good at it but at least he tried. Tsunade and Jaraiya were Naruto's adopted parents. The
hospital entrance doors opened. Gaara and Gavin stepped. "Where's Sakura?" Gaara asked. Naruto
pointed to the room. Gaara sat down. "This is my entire fault. I shouldn't have let her go." Gavin
patted his back. "She'll survive. I know she will. Sakura is a strong girl." Sasuke turned his attention to
Gaara. "Who are you?" Gaara looked at him. "I'm Gaara Haruno (I like the way it sounds!) and I'm
Sakura's twin brother. Who are you?" Sasuke smirked. "I'm Sasuke Uchiha. Aren't you the guy who
led Suna High to the Soccer champion ship?" Gaara nodded. The doctor then came back into the
waiting room. "Is anybody here that is related to Sakura Haruno?" The guys pointed to Gaara. "Come
with me sir." Gaara followed the doctor to his office. "Sakura Haruno is going to be ok. But her heart
isn't any better. She is going to survive but if her heart is in really bad condition. If Haruno-san gets
more blows to it there is a high chance of death. You have two choices to have Haruno-san take
surgery but the side effects are fatal. If not I can give some sort of device that will be able to help her
breathing if she gets tired or worn out. It's like an inhaler." Gaara thought about. If Sakura had surgery
then she wouldn't have to worry about her heart, but the side effects seem risky. He only had one
choice. "I'll take the inhaler." "Are you sure?" Gaara nodded. The doctor stood up and walked over to
a cabinet. He took out an inhaler. He then passed it to Gaara. "It looks like an inhaler but it's not."
"Thank you. Can I go see my sister?" The doctor nodded and led Gaara to Sakura's room. "Be extra
quiet, she needs her rest." The boys went into the room too. Sakura was on the bed there her hair
sprawled on the pillow. The blood was washed away and all that was left was a few cuts and bruises.
Her chest went up and down showing that she was breathing normally. Gaara went to her side and held
her hand. Naruto came up to Sakura and put Kyuubi near her head. "She deserves him for now." He
whispered. Sasuke felt bad for her. It was just her first day and she already was beat up. I'm going to
find these sluts who did this to her! Neji and Shikamaru sat there thinking about something. "Sakura
has a really bad heart." Gaara said breaking the silence. "She is always happy though, never
complaining about it. She didn't like it when people treated her differently just because she had a heart
problem which was why she chose to not to tell anybody else." Tears were coming out. "After my
mom and dad divorced I promised my dad that I will take good care of Sakura while he was gone since
he was mainly the one who protected her. And now, look what has happened!" The others were taken
back by those words. Gaara really did care for Sakura and he would do anything just to make her happy. Gaara looked at his sister and kissed her forehead. I've come to a decision, Sakura…
