Chapter one

The week after high school resumed in the leaf village Sakura Haruno went looking for

her best friend Ino Yaminaka, she found her friend crying in the girls bathroom. The sobs

being let out sounded like a mewing kitten, hardly the reflection of a broken heart. Sakura

wasn't fooled, she had heard Ino cry many times and it didn't take a rocket scientist to

know why. Sasuke Uchiha. Slipping into the unlocked stall Sakura unrolled some toilet paper, "here it's more absorbent then your palms" Ino looked up her eyes were red,

her cheeks tear stained. Shakily she got up and squeezed past Sakura ,"Where is everyone?" Ino asked sniffing, "Choji and Lee went on to class and Itachi is waiting in the

hall" Ino went to the sink, "Why cant I get a guy like Itachi?"

"Instead of a jerk like Sasuke that's always been my question to you hasn't it." Ino turned on the water. " So what happened? Was it Sasuke? He's usually the reason your

crying so what happened?"

"We had a fight." Ino said quietly dabbing her face with cold water. "Don't surprise me" Sakura said leaning against the stall door. "You wouldn't understand"

Sakura crossed her arms, "Enlighten me" Ino was quiet for a minute, she shut the water off, "Me and Sasuke had a fight after school and he promised he'd pick me up after

work at the coffee shop, since we had a fight he didn't show and it was pouring, Shikamaru Nara was working late as well so he offered to walk me home with his umbrella.

Someone must have saw us cause when Sasuke came to pick me up this morning he was really mad".

"That's not fair, I go out with Shino sometimes and Itachi don't have a problem with it"

"Shino and you are co editors of the year book and he's dating a transfer student".

Sakura ignored Ino's logic and let it drop a moment giving Ino a moment to compose herself. Sakura looked at Herself Ino in the mirror as Ino brushed her hair and reapplied

her lip gloss, Sakura's long pink hair and jade eyes looked odd next to Ino, Ino on the other hand was very pretty blonde hair pretty ocean colored eyes, though Ino wasn't

conceded about her looks. People liked Ino because Ino liked people. "That's not all" Ino's words broke Sakura's thought process, "I got a scholarship to the Sand village

university". Sakura pushed off the stall door, "But that's great!" Ino smiled a small smile, "mom and dad think so too especially since it comes with 10,000" Sakura knew Ino

was smart but this really proved it. "You have to go!" Ino's smile faded with Sakura's words, "Sasuke don't want me going too far from the leaf village though he says it'll be

like I'm abandoning him and he don't have the grades to go right to a four year college he'd have to go community college if he even goes at all." how could Sasuke be so

selfish Sakura thought, "He has no right to control you" Ino looked at Sakura through the mirror her stare wasn't menacing but it was piercing, "Itachi and you are going to

Sound Village college so don't tell me your making sacrifices for each other in that respect" Sakura nodded, "Point taken. I'm just saying don't let Sasuke force you into doing

something you don't want to do. " Ino let out an airy giggle, "you sound like my mother."

"No need to insult me" Although in the fun of jesting each other Sakura knew she had given advice worthy of any adult, she just didn't want to see her best friend be pushed

into staying if she wanted a better future.

Sakura had told Itachi about her convocation with Ino in the bathroom while walking to his locker," Ah Sasuke's not that bad" Itachi said shutting his locker after school, the

halls were busy with freshmen and sophomores trying to get to their last class, as seniors Sakura only had five classes and since the snow was bad track warm ups were

canceled for the week, That is how her and Itachi met, freshman year in track, they had been a couple ever since, plus it did help that Sakura was friends with the girl dating

his brother. Sakura smiled at the memory but angered by Itachi defending Sasuke she got back on point, "Not so bad, Ita a Persian cat is not so bad, Sasuke's eerrrg" Itachi

laughed putting his arm around Sakura he jammed his hand into Sakura's pocket pulling her closer as they walked out into the snow covered parking lot , "So he got a little

jealous, guys get that way when someone makes a move on our girls."

"A MOVE! Shikamaru Nara is no more a threat to Sasuke then I am to miss America!"

"Yes, but I bet Nara was in heaven when lovely Ino graced him with her presence, so

your right Sasuke has nothing to worry about but that's just his way"

"But why does he treat her like she's worthless". Itachi shrugged, "they are in love" he nuzzled her neck, "just like I love you" Sakura was still irritated, "yeah but you treat

me better"

"I do, do I?" he smiled, "I can change that." He picked Sakura up by her coat lapels, "get in the car girl now"

Sakura raised her eyebrows, "are you going to make me" she challenged.

"I'm bigger then you. and uglier so watch your step"

"don't make me wrestle you to the ground and humiliate you in front of everyone"

Sakura said pulling herself up to her full height of five three inches" Itachi kissed her nose, "Wrestle me. Please". A horn honked from two rows over followed by a guy yelling,

startled Itachi and Sakura looked over to see Sasuke shouting and driving beside Ino who was pointy ignoring him. He yelled some obstinacies at her but she wouldn't look at

him. "hey Ino" Sakura called, "Want a ride, me and Itachi have room."

"Sure hop in" Itachi called.

"No she's coming home with me" Sasuke said, "we have some things to talk about don't we honey?"

Ino turned towards Itachi and Sakura, Sakura saw tear tracks on her face, "Don't get in the car" Sakura said under her breath, "don't leave with him". After an agonizing

minute Ino wiped her face and said, "it's alright I'll go with Sasuke" Sasuke sped out of the parking lot before Ino got her door shut, he didn't even stop at the yield sign,

"Jerk!" Sakura said, Itachi put his arm around her, "come on babe lets go"

"She didn't have to go with him you know" Sakura wiped her tears, "I know" Itachi opened the car door and helped Sakura inside. "I'll talk to him okay?

maybe he'll listen. He's not really a bad guy"

He got in, turned over the engine, and turned up the heater. "He's scared of losing her. If she goes away he's afraid he wont come back"

"I hope she doesn't," Sakura said, drying fresh tears on her sweater, "I hope she leaves him and never comes back".
