Me: Woo! Another quick update! Actually, the internet at home is spoilt so I'm using my school's computer during computer class and the best part is that our teacher doesn't even know it! Kukukuku I'm so evil right honey?

Suigetsu: Yes, you are.

Me: Anyway, here's chappie 13. Enjoy.

CHAPTER 13

I was in the hospital, waiting. The guys were with me. After hearing Suigetsu was injured, we rushed to the hospital.

According to the police, Suigetsu was attacked by a gang and a passerby found him all bloodied and beaten up so he informed the cops.

I was gonna kill whoever did this to my brother. I clenched my fists. Jugo put his hand on my shoulder; a gesture to tell me to calm down. But I couldn't calm down knowing my brother was hurt and the doctors still weren't done healing him.

Finally, a doctor stepped out of Suigetsu's room.

"Is he okay?" I asked standing up from my chair. The doctor sighed, "He's a strong guy, that's for sure. He had been stabbed numerous times but somehow he managed to take it. He has three broken ribs and is lucky he hasn't punctured a lung. He'll heal in about a week."

I sighed with relief. Suigetsu was going to be okay.

"However . . ." the doctor started to say.

"What is it?" Jugo asked softly.

The doctor sighed, "His right hand has suffered a lot of damage and we're not sure if it'll heal fully or not."

He looked at me sadly, "I heard he likes sword fighting. But if his hand doesn't heal . . . I'm sorry but his days as a sword fighter will be over."

My heart broke after hearing those words. Suigetsu loved sword fighting. It was the only thing that kept him happy and alive. Now if his hand didn't heal, his dreams would be lost forever.

Kiba wrapped his arms around me for comfort, "Can we see him?" The doctor nodded.

I walked inside to see my brother all wrapped up in bandages in the bed. He smiled weakly as we entered the room, "Hey guys."

I went by his side and squeezed his hand. Tears fell from my eyes but I didn't bother wiping them. Suigetsu raised his hand weakly and patted my head, "And I thought you were more mature."

"Baka." I said with a smile. He gave me a weak toothy grin.

Kiba watched his two best friends talk to each other. Suigetsu dreamed of becoming supreme sword master. Now because of some stupid gang, his dreams could be crushed forever.

He wanted to punch something. He couldn't believe that he couldn't do anything to save Suigetsu and his dream. Heck, he didn't even know who beat up his best friend so badly.

He made a vow to support Suigetsu with whatever he chooses in life. After all, what were best friends for? He gave a small smile before leaving with the others.

After everyone left, I felt I had to break the news to Suigetsu. I couldn't do it. I didn't have the heart to tell my brother that his dreams were going to be shattered.

"I know Sak," he said softly. I looked at him. "I know about my hand."

I closed my eyes, "Suigetsu . . ."

"Why me?" he said shakily. I opened my eyes to see tears dribbling down my brother's cheeks. "I have done everything to achieve my goals. I was so close and now . . ." I hugged him. He sobbed silently onto my shoulder. I shushed him and hummed a lullaby. Soon, he fell asleep. I laid his head on the pillow and kissed his forehead.

I received a text on my phone from an unknown number.

Meet me at the old car wash down town. Better come alone or your precious Inuzuka friend will suffer like your brother. See ya, babe.

My blood boiled as I read the text. There was only one person who called me babe: Zaku. So it was him who hurt Suigetsu. That's it! I'm gonna kill him. I grabbed my jacket and headed for the old car wash.

Zaku was there with his gang. He smirked as I approached him, "Hey babe. Glad you showed up."

"You will pay for this." I hissed. I wanted to rip off his head right off his shoulders but I told myself to stay calm.

"You know Sakura," Zaku said as he walked around me, twirling my hair between his fingers. "I could hurt your other friends and shatter their dreams like I did with your brother. But I'll make a deal with you."

I waited for him to continue.

"Become my girlfriend." He said with a smug smirk. I looked at him like he was crazy. Become his girlfriend? No way in heaven, earth or hell!

"Become my girlfriend," he continued. "And I won't hurt you friends." I froze. I could protect all my friends from harm and all I had to do was become Zaku's bitch.

I had read many stories and watched many movies on how the girl is blackmailed by the villain. The girl agrees and her friends are safe. But I wasn't that kind of girl.

I punched Zaku square in the nose. He groaned as he clutched his nose. I guess I broke it. I glared at him, "I'm not a weakling, Zaku. I'm Haruno Sakura!"

Zaku and his gang tried to beat me but I had an adrenaline rush, I didn't realize what happened; when I came to my senses, I was holding a bloodied Zaku by the collar of his shirt.

"Leave me and my friends alone," I told him with malice dripping in my voice. "If you don't, you will face my wrath got it?"

Zaku nodded shakily. I let him go. He and his gang scurried away. I spat on the ground and went back to the hospital. I felt proud of myself.

Sasuke, Naruto, Neji and Shikamaru told the girls the news and were picking up some yogurt from the grocery store. Kiba and Jugo joined them and the gang was about to head for the hospital when they saw a blob of pink near the old car wash. She was near a gang; Zaku's gang.

Sasuke clenched his fist. They sensed trouble so they went to where Sakura was and hid behind a couple of tires.

"Become my girlfriend," Zaku said to Sakura. "And I won't hurt you friends."

Sasuke realized that it was Zaku who hurt Suigetsu. Kiba looked like he was about to jump out and kill Zaku on the spot but Neji held him back.

"Sakura-chan wouldn't agree, right?" Hinata whispered. All of them stared at Sakura who was frozen.

'She wouldn't . . . right?' Sasuke thought.

The gang was baffled when they saw Sakura punch Zaku square in the nose. Zaku groaned and clutched his now broken nose.

"I'm not a weakling, Zaku. I'm Haruno Sakura!" Sakura exclaimed. Her friends smiled proudly at her. What they saw next wasn't pretty. Sakura single-handedly beat up the entire gang. She then grabbed Zaku by his collar, "Leave me and my friends alone. If you don't, you will face my wrath got it?"

Zaku and his gang ran away. Sakura spat on the ground and walked away towards the direction of the hospital. Once she was gone, the gang stepped out of hiding and smiled/smirked.

"That's our Sakura." Kiba said softly. Jugo smiled proudly at Sakura's retreating figure.

Me: Kinda short. Sorry.

Kiba: YES! FINALLY! MY OWN P.O.V! –Dances around like a crazy person-

Me:-whispers to Suigetsu- Honey, his Kiba high of Sugar again?

Suigetsu: I think it's the skittles that he ate earlier.

Me and Suigetsu: -Sigh-

Kiba: PLEASE REVIEW PEEPS! ^_^
