I'm back, I am not dead... (yet) I am tired, full and very... very sleepy but MERRY CHRISTMAS! and enjoy. Thanx to: Viven, Cowgirl137, xXGirTheLittleBombOfMadnessXx, and Kimiko8833! Thnx guys!

As she sat on the solid rock over the cliff, she thought about the world, how it had rot in her view, how it became so different than it was before. That didn't matter, it was no different, what she saw was how it had became worse.

Harassment…

That was a pretty common word for her, ever since her parents were announced 'dead' while their bodies were never found in the crash, she had been… harassed.

Well, Karin who was her real sister unfortunately hadn't been doing quite a good job. Sakura didn't blame her, she always told herself that the eighteen-year-old had her own shit to deal with and hadn't had the time for her.

She sighed, lying on her back softly before a quick doze carried her away under the stars.

She hadn't noticed the figure watching her all this time.

Three men kneeled in front the mutilated body of a teen gently floating above red pool of thrashed organs. Shikaku grimaced at the sight while his friend, Yamato, took his time to examine the body. The girl…

"She was beautiful." Kabuto chimed in with a loud chuckle.

Shikaku and Yamato looked at him an annoyed expression on their faces.

"Are you serious?" Shikaku muttered, yawning and reaching a cigarette from his pocket.

Good thing Sarah's parents' were too busy arguing about what color the coffin should be. While the husband had three cells phones in his hands, arguing with other business men and holding a conversation with the mother, the latter was doing the same, holding a cup of coffee with fresh polished clothes.

One thing Shikaku knew before her zipped up the bag and shut the eyes of the dead girl…

Those rich filths didn't give a damn about their own children, the money was priority.

He sighed once more, inhaling a puff of smoke.

"Let's get this fucking case started gentlemen." Kabuto smiled, fastening the piece of light pink hair in the translucent bag.

Sakura dashed through the trees, her breath almost running out as she felt her lungs close up due to the lack of oxygen and the fatigue from her rush.

She didn't know why she was running anymore, it all seemed so long since she was but then, her bare foot caught on a twisted twig and she fell forward, face-first on the dewed leafy ground.

A hand caught her left leg, dragging her behind deep in the darkness.

"NO! L-Let me Go!" She battered but her attacker got a stronger grip and pulled her further, dragging her behind. Her face distorted at the slight pain, feeling numbness rushing over her leg quickly, the blood catching in one spot.

She kicked one last time, a quick gasp escaping her as she rose from her bed with large pants and heavy breaths.

"J-Just… a… d-dream? Just a dream." She glanced at the clock, reading it to be 5 in the morning, she got on her feet quickly, clad in a black tank and matching shorts, her hair in a messy bun, but when she started to walk, her left leg pinched and she winced slightly as the pain shot in and reached all the way to her thigh.

"What the-" Sakura hit the switch and brought light, her green eyes widened as she caught sight of a bluish bruise on her leg, marked as if a large hand was wrapped around it tightly. Her dream hit her suddenly but she couldn't understand…

Her eyes wondered on the clean gray carpet, prints…

Ignoring the pain on her leg, she kneeled to examine the foreign marks, finding them impossibly mysterious and pretty grotesque. Who would… Did someone come here last night?

Or… just a minute before she awoke? The footprints were the ones of boots and they seemed pretty fresh, leaves from the backyard were stuck with mud, dirtying her carpet and all the way to her window,

the window sent a chill in her room. Sakura hugged herself, thin arms covering her fair breasts, slowly and carefully, she made her way across the room, careful as a turtle, she waited for anything, any sign…

Sakura tucked a piece of pink hair behind her ear, gulping nervously as her heart pounded in fright. She glanced quickly outside, finding it dark and silent, the only noises were from the howling dogs and the chirping of crickets.

Finding nothing else, she quickly rushed to the window and closed it, but before she rushed back to bed, two pairs of eyes were there, watching her.

Just a dream… She kept telling herself that, even though she knew it was a complete lie.

Sakura ran her fifth lap, her toned legs skillfully eating the tracks with impossible speed.

She came to a stop but the coach didn't look a bit satisfied, she looked over he shoulders, breathing heavily and wincing from time to time at the pain on her leg.

Sasuke arrived two seconds later, that she had smirked. As for the others… three laps late. "Mm…" The coach looked at her, she looked back at the speedometer then at Sasuke, a frown on her face.

"1:36. Sakura, you have to do better than that if you want to make it."

"B-But, Anko-sensei I-"

"No, you probably haven't been taking those proteins I have given you." Anko argued.

Sakura sighed in defeat, she couldn't say anything about her leg, if it was one thing she feared the most… It was hospitals. She raised her head to tell the grumpy coach something-

"Great job Uchiha Sasuke! No doubt you'll be the star of our track team by this winter." Sakura gritted her teeth in anger, fists tightening in jealousy, if she hadn't known better, she would've thought Anko had a crush on him to.

What the hell! He-

"-arrived two seconds late!" Before she knew it, she spoke her thoughts aloud.

Both looked at her as if she had grown three heads, or perhaps she had, out of anger.

"Sakura, that's Sasuke's seventh lap." Anko said briefly.

Sakura didn't miss the huge smirk growing on the Uchiha's handsome face.

"Uchiha can help you if he wants."

When the grumpy coach left the two to bitch at the other slow students, Sakura glared and pointed a menacing finger at him.

"Look, this is what I want, I want to make the team and you will not take it from me."

Sasuke blinked, his face apathetic.

"Well? Defend yourself!" Sakura glared harder, gripping her jacket in tension.

Sasuke blinked again, his lips in a line without saying a word.

"Why does Naruto hang out with you again?" She made a heel to leave but he caught her wrist, his dark eyes on her leg.

Oh shit!

She looked everywhere, but his dark eyes.

"Who did this?" He demanded, his jaw tightening.

Sakura flushed, he never showed any concern, she wondered why he cared all of a sudden. It was just a-

"Bruise. It's just a bruise." Sakura muttered, unsure and still not looking into his hard eyes. Sasuke wouldn't take it, he knew why he was asking and Sakura imagined it was because he did not want her injured to win. He wanted her at full health, healed and in good shape to make it. Sasuke was possibly thinking differently but she didn't know, she couldn't read minds. Hell, she wasn't even confident with her own thoughts.

Sakura turned from him, with a frown she started to walk but he stopped her once more.

"How did you get it?" He pressed.

Sakura sworn she should've worn her long sweatpants but fate just had to ruin her luck.

"Why do you care?" She countered.

Sasuke looked taken aback for a sudden, but before he could reply, a swarm of girls blocked her view and engulfed Sasuke like bees on honey.

"Jesus Christ!" She heard Sasuke yell in agony as the girls fought to get the first kiss.

Sakura wanted to be jealous, maybe she even wanted to get the first kiss from him too, but… She had promised herself, ever since her parents disappeared, died, she wouldn't fall in love. She might as well turn lesbian then. Not.

"Hey Forehead!" One of the girls called out, but she didn't turn around, not a bit, even if the voice sounded familiar… very familiar.

"Well, Well. If it isn't-which it is-the Giant forehead pink-headed freak." A mischievous girly voice rung in the locker room.

Sakura sighed, choosing to ignore the comments at the time.

She pulled her hair up in a bun, smiling as she pulled the pink cherry blossom pin… The last present her parents ever gave her… and was ready to tuck it in her hair but a rough yet smooth hand as well as sticky with lotion grasped it from her brutally and pushed her aside. "H-Hey! Give that back Tayuya!" Sakura pleaded, but the girls' friends shoved her on her knees and slapped her across the face.

She could only stare as the girls slapped her around and beat her, watch as they snatched her priceless items and jewelry from the helpless pink-haired girl.

"I ho-hope y-you grow s-stronger… Sakura-chan."

Little did she know, Sakura was thinking about the same thing.

Calculus was not everyone's subject. God it was the hardest subject of them all and the fact that it was honors… made it worse.

Yes, even for the Great Uchiha Sasuke.

Sakura looked over her shoulders, glancing at his handsome face.

She wondered why she still found him hot, even if she had promised herself not to look at anyone that way, not even him dammit.

Naruto was in this class previously but he was too dense to get anything so now he has Algebra 1, Informal Geometry and Pre-Calculus. She would've laughed at the blonde, but he was her friend… she guessed.

Her, having Calculus honors with none other than Uchiha Sasuke was torture. He would be showing off his mental skills and his 100s on the tests.

Damn him! She cursed inwardly but that part of her with the warmth for him never dared to leave. It will never leave. But she hoped the latter was a lie.

Sakura winced slightly as her fingers grazed her cheeks, bruised and purple under her eye that she tried to cover with the white makeup.

She wondered if this was ever going to stop. At least she saved her pin.

Suddenly, a loud knock resounded on the other side of the door, and as hard as that door was, this person must've had some strength to knock it that loud.

The teacher, Yuki, adjusted her glasses and smacked her lips angrily before she ripped the door open, but her mouth fell agape as her petite form stood like a miniature in front of two men, dressed in… white? Ok… And carrying small plastic bag with them.

The tallest one, a man in white leather coat that screamed expensive raised the bag and scrutinized the classroom. "C-Can I help you -gulp- gentlemen?" Yuki forced out.

Both men ignored her as if she were too low to even be acknowledged of.

The students whispered amongst themselves, some clinging to others.

"Oh my God. Do you think they came here for me? I mean like, I am super rich after all and yea, like…" Sakura ignored the pops' conversations and focused on the tiny bag in the guy's hand.

Mrs. Yuki was still awestruck and stood in what looks like a secluded corner. The shorter man but bulky with grayish beard and a brown moustache locked faces with Sakura, his eyes although hidden under shades, Sakura could tell he was looking right at her. She looked away, tucking a pink lock behind her ear.

"Hmmm… alright. Joe, over here, take her." The man pointed at Sakura.

"Wh-" Sakura gasped, clearly she didn't know what was happening as they grabbed her rudely away.

Today was labeled the worst day of her life since her parents' incident.

"I always knew the freak had something to do with all this shit! I mean, the fact that she's a freak is proof enough!" One of the girls screeched.

Sasuke looked apathetic in his seat, the only benefit he got from this was the distraction. The fangirls were too busy labeling poor Sakura-chan to care about him.

Thinking of Sakura-chan? He asked himself…

She has nothing to do with those murders does she? The only thing to do was found out for himself. With that, he got off his seat, silently making his way out of the classroom.

Yuki didn't even bother asking him where he was going, Sasuke was too much for all them and if that was a good thing, then that was also an understatement.
