A/N: Awwww, I couldn't not update with all those awesome reviews (:

Title: Trapped

Summary: Sakura has been in an abusive relationship with Neji for 4 months now. She can't find it in herself to get the courage to break away from him. She loves him, she doesn't want to leave, or be left. Sasuke Uchiha transfers to their school in the middle of the year. Sasuke may be an asshole, but he knows the proper way to treat a lady, and he takes an immediate disliking to Neji due to his own abusive family history.

Rated M for physical and sexual abuse, future sexual content, language, and the over all mature nature of the story.

Chapter Eight

Neji stood, pushing away all of the urges of bringing pain to the girl behind him. He took a few steps towards Sasuke, his eyes holding so many emotions that Sasuke couldn't quite place them all.

But it just wasn't normal. So many emotions didn't belong in someone at the same time.

Anger surged through Sasuke when he saw Sakura laying as still as a painting on the floor. 'Calm down. Calm down.' He reminded himself as he took a step of his own in Neji's direction.

After a few moments of silence Neji finally spoke.

"This is your doing." he said and he turned his head and spat in Sakura's direction.

Sasuke said nothing and continued to stare at him, getting a bit closer.

'Control yourself. Just do what you need to not what you want. It's not worth it.'

"What's the matter? Don't you wanna hit me?" Neji asked cockily. Sasuke could swear he was about to see red so he closed his eyes for a second.

He couldn't deny it. He was furious. He was enraged. Infuriated. Every word in the dictionary that was a synonym to murderous was exactly how he felt. If he knew he could get away with it, Sasuke would probably beat Neji until he was on the brink of death and then leave him to die.

But he couldn't. Because then he would be just as bad as Neji.

The situation did, however, allow him to teach this worthless scumbag a lesson.

Neji took a step closer to Sasuke and leaned over his shoulder. Sasuke didn't move an inch. He was practically begging fate to get Neji to lay a hand on him.

Nothing has ever held up better in court with situations like these than a plead of self defense after all.

But Neji wasn't like that. He plays dirty.

"Bet I fucked her better than you." he whispered next to Sasuke's ear.

The familiar sound of handcuffs seemed to echo through the room. Neji looked down at his left wrist noticing that Sasuke had decided to handcuff him to the bedpost at the foot of Sakura's bed.

Neji laughed shortly. "What the hell is this." there was no question in his tone. He was clearly unhappy

"Get this shit off of me and fight me like a man Uchiha."

"You don't deserve to be fought like a man. Did Sakura, a girl, ever get the chance to fight you like a man.'" Sasuke's voice was full of malice and hate.

Sasuke turned around and took a few steps away from Neji, who was currently glaring at him with everything he had.

Sasuke started to think of all of the horrible things he had done to Sakura. Sakura, who had an amazing personality, but was forced to keep it hidden out of fear. Sakura, who had such a unique form of beauty but had to hide under god who knows how much makeup and layers of clothing to protect the very person who was hurting her. Sakura, who loved gaming but was forced to stop because her boyfriend thought it was unbecoming.

Sasuke allowed a smirk to grace his lips at that last thought before he turned abruptly, his foot flying and hitting Neji straight into the ribs, hard.

A cracking sound, similar to the one Neji had heard earlier, sounded through the room.

He grunted and shut his eyes for a moment before taking a swing at Sasuke.

Sasuke stepped back, avoiding Neji's sorry excuse for a punch. Then again, there's not much you can do when you're handcuffed to a bedpost.

Neji yanked on his restraints angrily, ignoring to pain that was shooting through him.

"Sakura did nothing but care for a piece of shit like you and you treated her like a rag doll."

Sasuke started, rearing back and punching Neji as hard as he could straight in the nose.

"You did nothing but hurt and steal from her." Sasuke went on, grabbing Neji's shirt collar and looking him in the eye.

"I bet you even have something to do with her parents too." his expression was hard. Sasuke didn't even know why he was saying this. It was just coming to him. Every instinct in his body told him to blame Neji for everything. He was responsible for it all. Sasuke considered this idea to be a little of an exaggeration as it crossed his mind.

But the look that passed over Neji' face right after gave it all away. He quickly tried to make his features as passive as possible. Maybe he was right after all.

"What are you talking about?" Neji feigned ignorance, and he did it surprisingly well.

"You're a piece of shit Neji and you deserve to be treated like one."

Sasuke released Neji's collar roughly and spit in his face.

"Sakura is the only one who deserves to be treasured in this room. You took everything from her and she loved you."

Neji grimaced, trying to ignore the fact that he just got spit on. He wiped it off with his free hand, looking at Sasuke in disgust.

Sasuke never wanted to bring as much bodily harm to a person more in his life.

Before Sasuke could say or do anything else he heard footsteps coming from behind him.

'Finally.' He thought, stepping aside so the police could properly take Neji away.

Sasuke felt slightly regretful about not being able to do more harm to the guy, but he was soon distracted when two men came into the room with a stretcher and lifted Sakura onto it, a little too roughly for Sasuke's liking.

"Hey, careful!" he said loudly, not even caring that he was being a bit crazy.

They were only trying to hurry after all. And he knew that. He just wanted her to stop hurting. Hopefully this was the end.

Hopefully Neji would finally stay away from her and let her be her again.

It seemed like ages had passed since Sasuke had arrived at the hospital with Sakura. They had reassured him that she should wake up in a few hours, depending on how much sleep she had already gotten, but she would be fine. The only serious injuries she had were two minor fractures to her rib cage.

Sasuke clenched his fists as the thought crossed his mind.

He doubted that those were the only serious injuries. Not if you counted the mental ones anyway.

The stirring of sheets immediately snapped him out of his thoughts and he looked over.

She made a pained expression before opening her eyes groggily and looking around the room. She finally made eye contact with him. For a few seconds they stared at one another as she slowly sat up. Everything was silent.

She burst into tears.

Sasuke stood swiftly and strode over the her bedside. "Sakura stop crying." he said, trying to sound as nice as possible, but he couldn't keep out the anger that escaped in his tone.

She seemed to calm down a bit, slowly turning her head in Sasuke's direction while a few more tears escaped from her eyes.

She reached up and grabbed the sleeve of his black cotton shirt. He had obviously not taken the time to get dressed, as he was still in a t-shirt and gray pajama pants.

She tugged lightly, not daring to speak a word. Not knowing what words would be acceptable in this situation.

He carefully sat beside her, still forcing his usual hard features into a soft expression.

Sasuke started to think of the right words to say. He could tell her that she should start filling out the papers for the restraining order that the doctor had brought in earlier. He could tell her that no one would ever hurt her again, and that Neji was going to get exactly what he deserved if he had anything to say about.

He could say a lot of things.

But he decided not to say anything as soon as she leaned forward and kissed him.

Of course Sasuke didn't hesitate to start kissing back, Uchiha's don't hesitate to accept a kiss. Especially a kiss from a girl they actually like.

He brought his hand up and ran it through the roots of her hair.

As they kissed, he thought of all the things that he had ever wanted to say to her. And all of the things that he already had. None of them could ever make her understand how he felt about her the way this kiss was doing right now.

He didn't want to stop kissing her.

He swore he could sit beside her and do this forever.

"Sasuke is Sakura coming over for dinner?" Sasuke's Mom asked excitedly, already fixing a fourth plate before she even got an answer.

Sasuke sighed, and before he even got a chance to say anything there was a knock at the door.

Sasuke tried to hide his excitement on an account of his older brother being there as he stood and walked briskly over to the door and opened it, smirking down on his pretty little neighbor.

She squirmed under his gaze, still not used to the fact that they had had a make out session in the hospital about two weeks ago.

She tried to hide her blush as she stepped in and took a seat at the table, immediately noticing the new addition to the household. She had actually sat right next to him.

"Well, well, well, who do we have here?" came the deep voice of Itachi Uchiha as he leaned in Sakura's direction.

As if out of thin air another chair appeared between them and Sasuke sat down a bit violently, a scowl seemed to be permanently plastered on his face.

Itachi picked up his not yet used spoon and placed it sensually close to his lips as he sent a very suggestive wink in Sakura's direction.

Fortunately, for Itachi's sake, Sasuke hadn't seen this gesture and continued to sulk about the small fact that Itachi had only spoken to her.

Sakura silently cursed as she thought of what horrible luck she had.

She knew Sasuke had to have some kind of feelings for her. And she knew that she was definitely attracted to him. She just couldn't help the small part of her that was still rejoicing at her new found freedom.

Was liking someone new already really such a good idea?

Sakura sighed heavily as Itachi sat on the other side of her.

Sasuke's hand quickly grasped her thigh protectively as he sent a death glare towards his brother.

She couldn't help but think this was just the beginning of a whole new set of problems.

I think it should be about two more chapters before it starts coming to a close. I'm getting sad :( *sniff*

Anyways, review ! :D
