Chapter Three: Take Me There

I want to see that place

That place that where I can see my dreams come true

But does that place really exist

I've always dared to wonder

Wonder if someone will take me there

If someone would take me there

I only wish that it would be you

"Oh…You saw that…"

Sakura's cheeks immediately flushed when she found out that Sasuke had seen her fall. But now she was wondering where the hell he was?

"Hey Sasuke where…."

She gasped when she felt someone touch her shoulder. She turned to see Sasuke touching her shoulder and then putting his phone in his pocket. Sakura smiled…she was happy to see him, but suddenly Naruto popped into her mind. Why did he not get along with Sasuke? Sakura wanted to ask…but for some reason couldn't bring herself to it at the moment.

Her thought were interrupted when Sasuke's deep yet soothing voice commenced, "So why did you fall?"

"It was an accident!"

"You're clumsy."

Sakura playfully punched him, "Thanks a lot."

"Hn…Shouldn't you be working on your project?"

"Who are you too tell me what I should be doing!?"

"I could help you, you know."

Sakura brought her thumb up to her mouth but then felt him grip her hand, "You know…You're gonna really end up hurting yourself that way."

Sakura was frozen and felt her heart beating a hundred miles a minute. His sudden touch was almost lustful to her. She opened her mouth to speak but no words came out. When he let go of her hand her heart was still beating at an amazing pace. She felt like she was about to faint.

"Well do you want my help or not…Sakura…"

"Y-Ye-Yeah."

Sasuke smirked at the flustered pink haired girl.

Sasuke looked around the apartment of his emerald eyed classmate. Overall it was small and was a little messy…She lives alone? I thought she would live with her parents.

Sakura poured two glasses of water and offered one to Sasuke; he nodded and accepted it. Suddenly he felt a rush of drowsiness over come him and stumbled a little; he grabbed the end of the kitchen counter for support. He hated it when this happened…when tiredness would randomly strike him…it gave him a killer headache as well.

"Sasuke are you alright?"

"Yeah…I'm fine."

His eyes were only half way open and he could barely stand up straight. He wasn't doing a great job as appearing fine.

"Sorry Sasuke but you don't look alright."

Sakura looked at him as if she was honestly concerned…which she was. Sasuke pinched himself in the arm in an attempt to wake him up a little.

"I'm just a bit tired."

All of a sudden the front door burst open!

"SAKURA, WHAT'S UP!?"

It was the yellow haired fool at the front door; Sasuke immediately frowned. When Naruto saw Sasuke he automatically frowned as well. Sakura had obviously noticed Naruto's sudden change in mood.

"Hey Naruto…Did you tell me you were coming over?"

"Do I ever tell you?"

"Uh…no…"

Sasuke looked the other direction trying to ignore Naruto.

"Oi Sasuke why the hell are you here?"

When Sasuke didn't say anything Sakura spoke up, "Naruto, he's just helping me with my project."

"But you don't need help; you have a 4.0 don't you?"

"Well yeah but..."

"Maybe I should leave Sakura." Sasuke said heading for the door.

"No you don't have to do that Sasuke!" Sakura yelled after him.

He left despite her calls.

When Sasuke was gone Sakura yelled at Naruto, "What the fuck Naruto!"

Naruto gritted his teeth, "You shouldn't hang out with him…"

Naruto then felt a sharp sting against his cheek…Sakura had slapped him. Naruto was shocked…his best friend had just slapped him; she had never done that to him before. He touched his cheek. Sakura still had a serious look on her face…a strong and fierce look. Her friend had never seen that kind if look across the once shy girl's face. He now actually felt angry at himself for causing Sasuke to leave now. It had apparently made her really unhappy….and that was last thing he wanted Sakura to be.

"Sakura…I'm really sorry."

He was serious…he had meant to keep his anger in check when he was around Sasuke, but just couldn't. Right now he actually wouldn't mind giving himself a good smack. He suddenly saw her face soften, "Naruto I shouldn't have…"

"Yeah…you should have. I deserved it."

Sakura walked on the sidewalk, not the curb. She laughed as she stared at the curb…how could she just fall over like that? Pretty embarrassing…She looked up at the cloudy dark sky…Naruto left her place after she had hit him. She felt bad about that…but after she did she thought Naruto may have had a little bit of an epiphany.

As several people walked through the busy city Sakura heard a little voice…a small innocent voice, "Hello Sakura."

Sakura quickly turned to see a little girl hugging her knees while sitting on the ground next to an abandoned store. She looked around thirteen, had shoulder length dark black scraggly hair and the hairline caused her left eyes to be completely covered, she was covered in various scratches, wore a long black shirt with nothing to cover her legs and had sharp stinging green eyes full of sadness and within them swam a dark pit of hate.

Sakura approached the young girl with caution, "Who are you?"

The girl smiled, "Sakura…you have a pretty name."

"Sure…but how do you know my name?"

"My name is Ren."

"All right Ren…You didn't answer my question."

"Does it really matter?"

She spoke sharp and quick…and it didn't appear to Sakura that she cared what she said.

"Sakura I can tell that you are sad."

Why did this girl keep saying her name?

"I'm not."

"Yes you are…your eyes look like mine when I am sad."

Sakura nipped at the ban aid on her finger…Who was this child?

"You hate me don't you Sakura?"

"What? Of course I don't!"

"Then buy me something to drink; I'm really thirsty okay?"

Sakura didn't hesitate; she looked down and reached for her wallet and pulled out some money, but when she looked up again Ren was gone. What the hell? Where did she go?

Sakura looked left and right but Ren was nowhere to be seen. Sakura ran her fingers through her rose colored hair, "Did I imagine that?"

Sakura had tried calling Sasuke a couple time but Sasuke never answered. Sasuke got to school early the next day and cursed Naruto as he rummaged through his locker. He had to talk to Sakura more about the Hyugas. But by asking her over the phone would have been awkward. Sasuke knew he had a grip on this girl so if he talked to her in person if he touched her in the slightest of motions it would be enough to stray her from the fact her was just using her.

Naruto had to of course ruin it. That stupid idiot needs to stay out of my way. Sasuke slammed his locker shut.

"Is there something wrong Sasuke?"

Kakashi happened to be passing by.

"No."

Suddenly Sasuke noticed that Kakashi had just called him by his first name. So far this year he hadn't heard him call any of his students call them by their first names.

"Kakashi-Sensei since when do you…"

"Sasuke I know more about you then you think. All I have to say to you now is…be careful." Kakashi said before continuing his path down the hallway.

Sasuke was shocked a little, what the fuck does he mean by that?

Sakura had tried to talk to Sasuke the whole day, but they didn't do groups in first period and the rest of the day he kept walking the opposite direction as her. Was he purposely avoiding her?

She sighed as she left her last period. Then she saw Naruto scurrying toward her, "Hey Sakura!"

Luckily he wasn't mad at her…so she smiled gratefully at her, "Hey Naruto."

The two friends exchanged small talk as they walked out the front entrance of the school. After Sakura had been laughing at one of Naruto's lame jokes she looked forward and saw Ren. She was standing at the center of the exit. Sakura noticed people staring at her as they left the school grounds. Sakura stopped walking.

"Sakura do you see that girl?"

Sakura bit her thumb and nodded. Her band aid had fallen off during lunch so her she was ripping off whatever skin was left.

"Uh Sakura…ew?!" (Author's note: I don't know why but I love that part!)

Sakura pinched his cheek as lightly as she could,

"OW!"

"Baby."

A smile escaped her lips; that is until she looked at Ren. The young girl just waited there. She wasn't going to approach Sakura. It appeared as if she was waiting for Sakura to come to her.

"Yo Naruto!"

It was Kiba, "Oh hey Kiba! Hey Sakura I'm gonna go hang with Kiba do you mind?"

Sakura was about to protest but Naruto was already running towards Kiba. Drops of blood were falling to the ground…slowing creating a growing crimson puddle. Sakura was gnawing at her thumb…the pain was increasing, but she acted like she didn't care.

The look in Ren's eyes were intense…she almost looked like she was going to kill someone. But Sakura felt her feet moving below her…even though she was for some reason afraid of Ren she was approaching her anyway; she had no idea why.

When Sakura was right in front of Ren Ren smiled…a gentle smile on a cold face.

"Hello Sakura…Where did you go yesterday?"

"Me?! You were the one that randomly disappeared!"

"Huh? Oh I guess you're right. Sorry about that."

What the hell is up with this girl? She's kinda creepy…I'm kinda scared…But why, she's just a girl.

"Anyway Sakura…Will you please buy that drink for me now?"

Sakura had actually been planning a way to talk to Sasuke and apologize for what happened yesterday. Although…she found herself nod. Ren smiled again and grabbed Sakura's hand, "Hee hee let's go."

Ren held Sakura's hand the whole way to a lemonade store. The whole time she watched her feet.

"Ren where are your parents?"

Ren kept walking even though inside she felt like falling to the cement and never getting back on her tired aching feet, "I've taken a brake from them…isn't that what you're doing now Sakura?"

Ren felt Sakura's hand shudder, "How is it you know so much about me?"

"Does it matter?"

"Of course it does! It's scary!"

Ren giggled, "Hee hee you're a lot funnier than I thought you would be."

"Than you thought I would…"

"Hey there it is! I'm so thirsty!"

Ren pulled Sakura inside the store.

"Cherry Lemonade and load up on the sugar." Sakura said.

"Regular with no sugar." Ren said.

When they sat down at the table Sakura asked Ren, "No sugar? What kind of kid are you?"

Ren started laughing a lot harder then she had intended too…there were many things she wanted to say but she stuck with, "A cool one."

"What the hell? You think you're that awesome?"

"Of course I do…it's better then thinking I suck right?"

"Well I guess so…"

"You guess so? You know I'm right!"

Ren was happy when Sakura laughed…it was cute and she wished she could see her like this more.

When her drink came Ren sipped it gratefully…she needed it. She was hungry too…but if she asked Sakura to buy her something to drink but if she did Sakura would know that she was in fact homeless.

"I still don't know how you can drink that." Sakura laughed.

"I don't know how you can drink THAT! I mean I wonder why your teeth aren't as yellow as Naruto's hair!"

She saw Sakura freeze.

Shit…I'm retarded.

"How do you…"

"Bye bye Sakura…I'll see you soon."

In a flash Ren was out the door.
