Yes, I know, a late update, what's happening? Uh... Last week of school :P I was going to update yesterday, but I had orchestra rehearsals for an hour and a half, then a forty five minute flute lesson, then a performance... I was just a teensy bit tired.

You know how, a couple of chapters ago, I said it was going to start getting very M? Yeah, that's happening now.

This Chapter Contains Rape. I have put the part of that in bold writing, so if you want to skip it, don't read that part. I've tried to keep that actual scene as undescriptive as possible, and it's very short. And I did tell you that I would make this story very M, so please don't get angry with me :( and a warning will go up in my Summary now.

Anyways, Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, only this story.

When Sakura woke up on the morning of the 28th, it was with a smile on her face. Today, she was turning nineteen. She couldn't believe it! There was basically nothing that could get that smile off of her face. She got up from the couch and immediately went about her morning routine; Went to the shower, dressed up in her dull grey tunic with black pants and black shirt with sleeves that went to her elbows. She hummed to herself as she put up her hair.

She went to the kitchen and started frying some tomatoes on toast for Sasuke's breakfast. When that was done and Sasuke was eating, she made his bed, cleaned the sheets and pillows away from the couch, did the dishes and cleaned the kitchen and the bathroom. It was now past midday, Sasuke was still out training and Sakura had one more chore to do before she would start on dinner. She was going to make something very nice for dinner, to celebrate her birthday. Maybe some rice with pieces of chicken and tomatoes through it? That actually sounded really good to Sakura, so with her mind made up, she gathered up the dirty clothes and filled the bathtub with soapy water, which she proceeded to wash the clothes in. She hung the clothes up over the bath and shower to dry, then went to the kitchen to prepare for dinner.

Sakura was half way through stirring the rice when Sasuke entered his room.

"Kon'nichiwa, Sasuke!" Sakura called cheerfully.

"Hn." Came his reply and she heard him flop down on the couch.

"Dinner will be ready in about half an hour."

"Hn."

Sakura chuckled to herself. Typical Sasuke.

Within half an hour, the food was on the kitchen bench and ready to be eaten.

"Dinner's ready!" She called, and heard Sasuke shuffle from the adjoining room into the kitchen. He picked up his plate, smelled it, and carefully took a bite. Upon realising that it wasn't poisonous, he ate all of it.

"Like it?" Sakura asked.

"Hm."

"Should I take that as a yes?"

"Hm."

"Okay." She continued smiling and ate the rest of her dinner as he wolfed down his.

"Careful, Sasuke, you'll choke," Sakura joked, giggling.

"Hn," came his reply as he continued to practically inhale the food.

Sakura finished her food and started the dishes. Sasuke soon finished after her and went to put his plate next to her.

"Arigato." She piped.

He regarded her curiously, wondering why she was so damn happy. Shaking his head and coming to the conclusion that it was just a random mood swing on Sakura's part, he went to leave the kitchen.

"Hey, guess what, Sasuke Kun?" Sakura asked. Sasuke's back stiffened, and then he was on her, his hands encircling her throat. She stopped smiling.

"What, did you call me?" He questioned, his voice dangerously low.

Sakura looked at him with fear. "Sasuke… Kun?"

"Why?" He growled at her.

"B… Because you… are my friend…?" Sakura was quaking. What had she done wrong? She was just being friendly!

Sasuke slammed her against the wall. "I am not your friend." His hand grew tighter, restricting her breathing. "You have no friends. You have nothing. I could kill you, right now, and I wouldn't flinch. I am not your friend." He slammed her head into the wall again, before continuing. "I am not your friend, and you are not my friend. I will hurt you, Sakura. You will rue the day you foolishly led yourself to believe that I was your friend."

He picked her up by the neck and sat her on the bench top, before removing her undergarments.

Sakura quickly caught on. "No, please Sasuke! Gomen! Gomen! I didn't mean to offend you! You are not my friend! I get it! Please just let me go!" She shrieked, tears spilling from her eyes, but she quickly wiped them away. Why today?

"You don't get it, and until you do, I will prove it! You have been working your way in here, allowing yourself to believe that if you were pleasant and if you didn't fan girl me, that I would allow you to form a bond -" his face grimaced at the word 'bond' "- with me. That I would let us be friends. No. You have much to learn, Sakura. I am not the young boy I once was, and I will make you pay." Malice dripped from his voice with every word.

He finished with her underwear, then worked on his. Sakura's mind was clouded by confusion and fear. She knew what was happening, and yet was powerless to stop it. And then, pain rippled through her lower abdomen as he pierced her core. She let out a gasp of pain and could feel blood starting to drip from her core. He didn't wait for her, he continued, not caring for her pain, not caring that she had previously been a virgin. She clutched his shoulders, as if they were her life boat. She closed her eyes and tried to block the pain from her mind. She couldn't.

He continued to thrust in and out of her, ripping and tearing his way through the virgin flesh and muscle. Sakura's breath came in sobs. It felt like hours had passed since he first started his assault on her body.

"Sasuke… Please…" Stop… Sakura couldn't get the last word past her gritted teeth. It was too much pain. There was no pleasure in this. It was rape, and she knew it. She couldn't believe that it was Sasuke who would do this, though. She knew that he didn't overly care for her, but to despise her this much?

With a final grunt, Sasuke came and immediately stepped back. Sakura clamped her legs shut and felt blood pulsate from her body.

"Hn. Isn't sex meant to be special? There was nothing remotely thrilling about that." Sasuke said, before going towards the bathroom. Only when Sakura heard the shower start did she let her tears fall.

She could feel blood dripping down her legs and staining her tunic. She tried to move off the bench, but her legs gave out as soon as they hit the floor. The blood that signified her loss of innocence dripped off the bench and onto her waist.

Why? Sakura thought. Why me? I just lost my virginity to a man who was meant to be my friend, a man I use to love. It shouldn't have happened like this. Sex is meant to take place between two people who love and trust each other to no end. Two people who wish to spend their lives together. Sakura groaned as she tried to move her leg and that caused more blood to spill from her ruined core. Tears dripped down her cheeks to remind her of all that she had lost.

"Mama… Help me," she whispered, sobbing onto her arm.

It wasn't until Sasuke was in the shower that he noticed the blood that covered his entire groin. Sasuke regretted what he had done to Sakura, but only slightly. He had only done that to her out of fear. Fear that if she continued with what she was doing, he would crack, and start to become weak. Have feelings and emotions. Experience things like Love and Happiness. That would not do. Hate and anger were the only two things he ever felt, and no stupid girl was going to get in the way of that.

He did wonder, though, how so much blood had come to be. He stood there, pondering it for a moment, before he realised. Shit. She was a virgin. She was a fucking virgin! Sasuke felt the first signs of guilt creeping their way into his heart, before he pushed it aside. She had it coming when she added the suffix to my name, he tried to convince himself.

He turned the shower off and stepped out, drying himself and putting some pants on. He wasn't going to apologise for what he did. He heard a knock on his door and exited the bathroom to get it.

"What?" He demanded of the young girl that stood at his door. Her purple eyes went wide upon seeing him and held out a small parcel.

"This is for Sakura, Sir." She muttered, handing him the parcel.

"Hn. Why?" He asked.

The girl looked at him with wide lavender eyes. "I.. It's her birthday today, Sir. I just wanted to give her a present." Sasuke's back stiffened in shock. Today was her birthday? Shit!

"I'll make sure Sakura gets this." He held the box up and slammed the door in the girls face.

He slowly made his way towards the kitchen and saw Sakura lying on the floor, crying softly. Blood lay in a pool on the bench and around her abdomen, with rivulets streaking down her legs. Sasuke took a deep breath and walked into the kitchen.

Sakura heard Aya's voice at the door, and wanted to call out to her for help. She needed a pair of kind arms to hold her close and whisper to her that it was alright and that everything would be okay. She needed the reassurance. She needed a friend.

She heard the door slam and she flinched at the sound. She heard footsteps and tried, futilely, to shuffle away. She heard him enter the kitchen and heard him crouch down in front of her. She felt him slowly pry her arms away from her face, almost gently, and she tried to move away from him, crying out when pain enveloped her. She clutched her stomach, doubling up on the ground.

"Sakura…" He said softly, almost like he would to a frightened animal. She refused to acknowledge him.

"Sakura…" He said again and lowered his face until it was level with hers. She raised her eyes until emerald met obsidian.

"You were a virgin." He stated. It wasn't a question. Sakura's eyes filled with tears again, wondering how he could be so cold. He took her tears as an assent.

"It was your birthday." Another statement, and Sakura nodded minutely.

"You should have told me." He reprimanded gently.

"I was about to." Sakura whispered.

She was right, he suddenly recalled. "Hey, guess what, Sasuke Kun?" She had said. "It's my birthday today!" he finished her unspoken sentence in his head.

He gently lifted her into his arms and lay her down in his bed. Sakura stared at him with frightened emeralds, before he reassured her, "I won't do that again." She looked wary, but relaxed a bit more when she saw him go over to the couch and lie down there.

She didn't sleep at all that night.

Please don't hate me, it's all in the name of the story!

I'm trying really hard to keep Sasuke as OC as physically possible (even though I have slipped up a couple of times, ie, last chapter). It really pisses me off when people write him basically running around in a fairy costume from start to finish in a story. If anything, he can at least become nice as the story progresses!

Uh, from tomorrow I'm going on holidays for around ten days, so I won't update for a little while (I don't think I'll get internet access where I'm going :Z) But if I do get a chance, I promise to update!

So yes, that's basically it. Preview time!

Chapter 8 - Warnings

...He took a deep breath, and started to speak. "Sakura, you should have known to not try and get close to me. It will only cause you pain, as you found out last night. I meant what I said; I could kill you, and I wouldn't flinch. I won't touch you like that again, I promise you. I regret what I did. But in turn, I am going to warn you: Do not make the mistake of trying to form a bond with me. It will only lead to dispair."...

So tell me what you think (and please, no hate, guys).

Until next time!
