The next day, Sakura and Sasuke went to school like any other day.
A few fangirls here and there said "I LOVE YOU SASUKE-KUN!" or "PLEASE LET ME HAVE YOUR BABIES!" and many other things here and there. Some were just plain awful, some were a bit disturbing, some plain weird. But nevertheless, it was a day like any other day. Until a certain red-head appeared with make-up that was as thick as a brick wall.
They saw her and thought that she would rush over to her "Sasuke-kun" and make Sakura go away. But Karin just walked away without saying a word. 'Something smells fishy and it won't be pretty.' Sakura thought to herself. Well that was true but Karin had worse plans in mind for Sakura.
*After School*
The day went by and nothing much happened. Until a miracle happened! The school bell rang!
The gang had some plans to go to the mall and have a cappucino or two to release all the tension of high school and homework and everything else that was either troublesome, as Shikamaru likes to say or just too idiotic. Who would've known that Karin and her so called gang followed them to get rid of a certain pink-haired girl if they had the chance.
"Soon Sasuke-kun, very soon you will be mine and that pink-haired weirdo will be out of our way and gone for good. Then nothing can ever tear us apart ever again..."
*With the gang*
"Hey guys, I'm gonna go to the bathroom for a minute 'kay?" Sakura informed them while Naruto was rambling on and on about the latest Xbox 360 games and ramen, lots and lots of ramen.
The dumb blonde was having too much of the stuff for his own good. It was either gonna have effect on him when he grows old, or was gonna mess him up inside his body somehow... Actually that kinda explains the way he dresses...
"Hm'kay Sakura." Ino said while applying some lip gloss on her lips. The girl loved her make-up and shoes to death, if she ever heard vintage or limited edition, nothing could stop her from going into "Shopping spree" mode.
"If I'm not back when you go just call my cell 'kay?" Sakura said before leaving. Everyone just nodded.
Sakura went to the bathroom with the sense of danger, but she just shrugged it off thinking that her brain was playing tricks on her.
On the way to the bathroom, Sakura spotted a red that belonged to a certain red-head behind her. Sakura felt the need to see if it was really her, she didn't know why but she just had too for some unknown reason. She turned around but all she saw was a woman with a red scarf that was dangerously close to the red-head's hair colour.
*In some dark corner somewhere close by to Sakura*
"Whew, that was a close one, right Karin?"asked Kira with a sense of relief.
"No that wasn't! Why did you pull me in? I could've just taken her there!" Karin half-screamed half-whispered.
"That's not a good idea, if she screams we're in in trouble. And you don't wanna be banned from shopping here don't you?" horrified, Karin shivered.
"... Fine... We'll get her at the bathroom."
Right after Sakura got in the bathroom she heard the door lock. 'Just great, seems like no one's in here too.'
"Hey weirdo. Miss me?" Karin asked in a sweet voice. 'Too sweet, I think I'm gonna puke.' Sakura thought to herself.
"Karin, what are you trying to do? Let me guess, you're trying to get rid of me by threatening me and get your 'Sasuke-kun' back."
"Yo're quite smart bitch. Although you're still wrong." Karin smiled a sweet smile.
"Nice smile, how'd ya get it? The mask shop at the second floor?" Sakura shot back sarcastically.
A vein popped at Karin's forehead. She was getting annoyed and angry but she's gonna have to hold it in for awhile. "Well anyway, we're here to beat the crap out of you and then scar that little face of yours then Sasuke-kun will never want to look at you ever again and will come running back for me 'cause we're perfect for each other." Karin said smugly. Sakura was silent.
"Tsk, you just want Sasuke for his looks and his popularity, what would you know what real "love" is? All you know is make-up and accessories... Wait that's wrong, because you don't even know how to use them." Sakura smirked.
While Karin was trying to think of something to retort back at Sakura, Sakura was silently dialling Sasuke's number. Good thing it was on Silent Mode if not she would definitely be found out.
"Fine, whatever you say cause now I'm gonna beat the crap out of you 'till even Sasuke-kun can't remember that ugly face of yours."
*With the gang*
"I was afraid of the dark but now that's all that I want, all that I want all that I wa~-" A special ringtone that indicates that Sakura was calling him. He pulled out his Galaxy SIII and answered it, "Hey Sakura. What-"
"*bash bash* That's right bitch, that's what happens when you mess with me!"
"Yea Karin, kick her ass!"
Sasuke heard the sound of Sakura's silent but audible groans. Sasuke also heard the voices of Karin and Kira and also the sounds of their laughter. Sasuke was dumbfounded. Sakura was getting beat up because of himself, why's that? He should be the one that was protecting her, not the other way around! Then dumbfounded-ness changed to anger. He was going to give Karin a piece of his mind, but looks like they weren't done yet, but he wasn't going to stop listening. He was going to go there now while listening to their conversation.
'She should still be at the bathroom. I better hurry up they're gonna hurt Sakura.' Sasuke thought to himself.
"Hey Teme, whatcha doin? You're just holding you just going to hold your phone like that or-"
Before Naruto could finish his sentence Sasuke darted off.
"TEME! HEY TEME!"Naruto shouted at the top of his lungs gaining the other shoppers looks.
"Naruto! Sit back down! People are looking!" Ino half-shouted half-whispered at Naruto and pulled him down to make him sit down.
"But Teme-"
"No 'but's Naruto. Now drink your Latte." Ino took a sip of her strawberry smoothy.
"Y-yeah N-naruto-kun, S-sasuke-san must have s-something important." Hinata smiled and blushed at Naruto.
"Fine Hinata-chan!" Naruto gave Hinata his signature smile, bright like the sun. She blushed ten shades of red and turned away flustered leaving a confused Naruto.
*Back at the bathroom*
Sakura was trying to block their attacks but there was two of them and one of her, but Sakura wasn't going to go down without a fight. She managed to throw a few punches and scratch them up a bit but they eventually took her down, and then they started kicking her at the stomach and the back.
"Hah! You only talk big, you can't even beat us. Guess you're all bark but no bit. Hahaha! How ironic." Kira laughed at Sakura while she kept kicking her back.
"You're right Kira. Dear Sakura-chan here is weak, like a little stray puppy." Karin said as she was pulling out a knife.
"Fine, I want to say something before you do something to me." Sakura said as she mustered up all the strength she had left to sit up. Thank God it didn't end in vain.
"Ok, I'll count this as one of your last wishes." Karin said smugly.
"You'll never know what 'love' is and what 'a relationship' means. If you're wondering why, I'll answer now. It's because-"
"Sakura! Can you hear me?! Sakura!" Sasuke's voice was heard clearly outside of the door.
"Sasuke-kun! I'm in here!" Sakura replied back which earned a kick to the face.
"*bam* Shut up bitch!" Karin shouted at Sakura.
"Ughhhh... Sa-su-k-..."Sakura loss her consciousness before she could finish her sentence.
"Karin! Kira! When I get in there and even if I see a scratch on Sakura I swear to Kami-sama I will make you regret the day you were born. You'll regret it even more if you don't open the door right now." Sasuke sounded dead serious and he was, he didn't come over to play.
"Oh no Karin! What should we do? Sasuke sounds really serious! Maybe we should do what he says?" They were starting to panick, Kira was the first to crack.
"No we can't, not after we came so far. No way!" Karin then lost it shortly after Kira lost it.
"Then what do we do? What if we don't open the door for him? We could in really big trouble!" Kira was really panicking now.
"But... I... Fine..." Karin was really dissapointed. The plan was going on so fluently from the start, who would've known it would end in catastrophe.
Karin went over to the door to open it for Sasuke, He rushed in without even sparing a glance to neither of them, all that he cared about now was Sakura.
