ooo PREVIOUSLY ON THE LAST CHAPTER ooo

Then she looked at her plate and saw many little pancakes. A mini pancake of every kind they offered was on her plate. She smiled at Naruto and he smiled back. They started their breakfast while enjoying the view.

Little did they know that the figure following them was there too. Watching them and thinking how to get rid of the blonde haired asshole who hit him in the face last time they met.

"Sakura I'll be back in a sec."

"Don't worry these pancakes will keep me company. But some might go missing though," Sakura giggled back.

Naruto left to pay the bill, and use the restroom. Just as he entered the building, the figure approached Sakura, making her grow pale and gulp in fear and shock as she looked up and saw who it was.

"Hello, my darling. Care to join me for a walk?" the man said smiling darkly.

ooooo

Roommates

"Hello, my darling. Care to join me for a walk?" the man said smiling darkly.

Sakura's green eyes went wide, "Leave this place, now. I don't want to see you" she responded trying to put on a calm appearance while shaking in fright inwardly.

"Is it your boyfriend that just left the table?"

"He's my friend. Now leave!" Sakura demanded. She hoped that Naruto would return quickly.

"Friend or boyfriend, I will beat him up if you don't come with me right away. You see, I'm not all by myself here. I just want to have a chat with you..." He lied, his tone angry, and Sakura believed his threat.

She made a decision.

"Promise me, you won't lay a finger on him..." she tried to say with a firm voice, but it sounded more like a plea.

"I promise," he smiled and stretched the hand for her.

The scared pinkette stood up and avoided his arm, she left the terrace following him. When Naruto came out of the bathroom but he didn't see the pinkette anywhere.

He looked around and when he asked the waiter if he had seen the blonde, the waiter responded by saying she left with a man. The description of the man was the one of her ex, as far as the blonde could remember.

"Damn it! How did that happen?!" He said to himself while heading the direction the waiter pointed at.

The blonde started to run, knowing they couldn't be far ahead. At the same time, he looked in every alley searching for the pinkette.

Then he ran past one and with a small glimpse registered uniquely pink hair disappearing in the alley. He turned back and followed his instinct saying it was definitely Sakura. The girl he had started to fall for.

Sakura had followed Sasuke and hoped that everything was good with Naruto, she hoped that the black haired bastard only wanted to talk to her.

But she quickly realized her mistake when she turned to her right and they ended up in a dead end. She turned to flee, but Sasuke was already closing on her, smiling a devils smile and blocking her escape.

"Don't worry, he won't find us here. And I lied. I'm all alone here and now it's just you and me. You and me, baby." the way he said it made Sakura shiver.

She wanted to scream as loud as her lungs would allow her too, but Sasuke's hand was over her mouth and pushing her against the wall. She let her bag fall and started to fight back.

He was stronger than her…

He leaned closer to her neck, restraining her.

She closed her eyes.

Felt his breath coming closer to her body, she could smell alcohol.

She thought he was going to kiss her but Sasuke's grip on her loosened and he collapsed on the ground unconsciousness. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Naruto holding a lead pipe in his hands.

Tears showered her face as she rushed towards him going into the blonde's strong to let him once again comfort her.

Naruto was so happy he made it on time, he wanted to kill the guy but it would be too good. Instead, he just rendered him unconsciousness with a blow to his head.

The blonde male was comforting the pinkette, when Sasuke stood up and walked in their direction with a raised fist. Naruto pushed Sakura away as Sasuke swung a right hook.

Naruto blocked his right hook with his fore arm, then countering with a strong left jab that got Sasuke right in the jaw.

Sasuke spat blood on the floor, "You bastard, I'll fucking kill you," the black hair teen rushed towards him, but Naruto blocked all his hasty punches.

Sasuke was getting tired from trying to hit Naruto with rapid blows. None of them were hitting him. The blonde would just block all of his punches.

Naruto saw this opportunity and started to punch back. Punch after punch…

Face.

Ribs.

Abs.

Naruto was pounding on Sasuke like a mad man who just had his ramen taken away from him. Sasuke was on the floor bleeding and Naruto was pounding on him.

Then the blonde felt two thin arms warm around his very muscular body, "Naruto stop, I think he's had enough. I mean he's a bloody mess now."

The blonde stopped, stepped over the guy who was now lying on the ground again, moaning in pain. He looked back, "If you ever make Sakura cry again, I'll kill you!"

He continued to walk and grabbed Sakura's bag on the ground and gave it back to her and they left the alley only to call the cops on him on their way.

They waited for the police not far from the alley, the pinkette was still crying. Naruto was once again holding her in his arms tightly. Now he knew just how much he needed to watch out for Sakura.

When the police arrived and found the now passed out Sasuke they said that he's going to be locked up for some time. He was in search for a big variety of crime, including sexual assault, assault causing bodily harm, etc...

Since they only talked to Naruto, Sakura didn't hear the police telling Naruto about Sasuke's past crimes and how he was part of a criminal organization called the "Akatski".

She was busy giving her testimony. After they cleared everything with police, the pinkette and blonde returned to the hotel.

Sakura just wanted to wash the feeling of Sasuke's touches off her skin and put on something new and clean on.

She stood in the shower and washed her body furiously, trying to get rid of invisible dirt. Naruto just sat on her bad, holding his head with both arms, happy he managed to save Sakura and that the maniac will be behind bars for a long time.

When Sakura came out of the bathroom, Naruto stood up and she walked to him. Sakura let him hug her, "Don't tell," she hugged him back tightly.

"I won't."

"Thanks."

"No problem… Well bye, I'm getting tired, I'll go back to my room now."

As Naruto was about to leave, he felt a small hand grab his wrist, "Wait… C… Can you stay the night?" the pinkette asked with a blush that rivaled her pink hair.

Naruto smirked, "Sure," he dragged Sakura to the bed and they snuggled in each other's arms, trying to forget all the horrors that occurred today.

ooooo

Well that's all :) Hope everyone enjoyed this chapter. Please don't forget to fav, follow, and review!
