Sakura and Sai were walking together in the halls of Konoha High, when Sasuke Uchiha shows up in the middle of their path. Sasuke along with all his other goons started to swarm Sakura and Sai.
"Hey new kid. Can we talk for a second." Sasuke said with his casual cool way.
"Forget about it Uchiha. You have no business with Sai-kun." Sakura said as she stuck her arm out in front of Sai.
"Uchiha? I thought I was 'Sasuke-kun." What's the matter Sakura? You're not over me are you? I thought you were in love with me." Sasuke said it directly to Sai, but he meant it for Sakura.
In love with him? Sakura hates his guts. She couldn't possible have had any feelings in the past for him. Could she? Sai thought about that for the longest time waiting to hear Sakura's reply.
"The past is the past. I've grown and trust me. I've out grown you." Sakura said as she found the new confidence. She liked protecting Sai. It made her stronger. Plus it wasn't bad having someone on her side.
"Sakura that hurts me. I thought that you wanted me to be 'your first.'" Sasuke knew how to get into Sakura's mind. He knew all too well.
WAIT. SAKURA'S A VIRGIN. She seemed so pretty. It's hard to believe that…GAHH. GET THAT OUT OF YOUR MIND SAI! God she's just a friend.
"Heh. You think I'd want you to be my first. You think I'd want someone who acts like a pussy?" Sakura met his evil glare. She knew how to get in his mind too.
"Bitch. Your gonna pay for that." Sasuke's anger bubbled. She was pushing the right buttons.
All of a sudden every guy on the football started to creep slowly toward them. Sakura looked at Sai who noticed it too. Damn. If he hadn't been around me he wouldn't be in this situation. Suddenly Sakura pushed Sai out of the way. With a big THUD Sai hit the floor. He couldn't help how Sakura looked so brave. She was after all only a girl. Plus she was in a skirt. How did she plan to fight them all on her own? Sakura got ready in a fighting position. She knew that she could do it. She just didn't know if she could protect Sai too. Suddenly Kiba was the first who jumped and aimed for Sakura. With one simple move of her hand she pushed Kiba out of the way and against the lockers.
"Heh. Anyone else?" Sakura was confident and strong. She knew she had to be.
"H-How?" Kiba moaned.
"A girl today has to be strong. How else is she supposed to survive?" Sakura looked at Sai and winked. Sai felt weak after that. A girl was defending him. He had to help somehow. He seemed paralyzed on the floor though. He couldn't move.
Shikamaru was the next. He wouldn't waste precious chakara on a jutsu. Plus they had been informed that Sasuke wanted her unharmed. So the best was to knock her out with a punch. Sakura dodged everyone, eventually making him hit a locker, which injured his hand.
Sai was amazed every dodge she did looked like a new dance move. She was graceful. Is this the same girl who slammed his fingers in a door the first time they met? Then when Kiba and Chouji were going to strike her at the same time she ran up the lockers and did a flip off them. Amazing. Sai thought. She did all that to protect him?
Sakura knew that they were dumb, but she expected they'd find her weakness later, not this soon. Sasuke wanted to fight Sakura while the others tried to go to Sai. Sakura intervened to so fast and smooth that they didn't see it coming.
Then suddenly Sakura fell. With such a sudden movement Sai looked to see what had happened. Sasuke stood there with his fist red. He had seen her blind spot.
"You know. She'd seen that coming if she didn't have to protect you." Sasuke said while he threw Sakura over his shoulder.
"W-Where are you t-taking her?" Sai mumbled. Why was he so scared? He could kick their asses if he wanted to. He did. But why couldn't he now?
"Heh. Well her dreams. Because as you sit here motionless. I'm going to make her dream of losing her virginity to me, a reality." Sasuke had to choke down those words. He didn't want to rape Sakura. But he knew his reputation would be ruined if he didn't.
Just then Sasuke was thrown against a wall a spit out blood. Sakura was lain down gently on the ground. Somehow Sai resisted how beautiful she looked. He wiped the hair from her eyes and looked at the shooken Sasuke.
"I won't let you do that to Sakura-chan."
Sasuke wiped the blood from his mouth, and smirked. "Fine. We'll go. I'm tired anyways. Probably wouldn't have had the strength to rape the bitch after what she made me go through. But we'll be back. Most definably. Mark it in your calendar 'Sai-kun' we'll get her sometime. And it'll be all your fault." Sasuke said as he made a gesture for his team to back down and leave.
Sai sighed and looked at Sakura. He was right. She was a burden. But she was a beautiful burden. And she stood up for him. There was something special about this Haruno girl. He seemed to like her more and more from the first time he met her.
"Okay. Well we can't go to the nurse. She'll ask why your unconscious and I really don't wanna deal with it right now. Plus I have no clue where you live. Or any of your friends. My guess would be to take you to my house. As embarrassing as that sounds. I just hope you don't get pissed at me later. Jesus, did you see what you did to that Kiba guy? Whoa. Note to self. Never piss off fire crotch here" Sai picked up Sakura and began to walk to his house.
