Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Love can make you do crazy things ❯ The Mob and the man ( Chapter 2 )

-“I....um....my name's.........uh.....” Sakura was having a major emotional meltdown. She couldn't even remember her own name. Rikka saw this and thought she should help her friend out.

 

-“What I think she means to say is `Hi my name is Sakura and I'm pleased to meet you.'” Sakura nodded in agreement.

 

-“Well I'll see you around Sakura. Bye uhhhh........”

 

-“Rikka.” Rikka said.

 

-“Yes. I'll see you both later.” Sasuke walked back to his cubicle and disappeared.

 

-“Sakura, he's gone.....Snap out of it!” Rikka shook Sakura lightly.

 

-“Okay, Okay. I'm back!”

 

-“You like him don't you?!” Rikka smiled evilly.

 

-“What!? No way! How could I like him?! I just met him!” Sakura was totally freaking out.

 

-“Yeah right! You like him and you know it!” Rikka countered. Just then, Mr.Moto came out of his office.

 

-“Ladies! I'm not paying you to talk all day! Get to work, NOW!!!”

 

-“We're going!” Rikka said, pushing Sakura into her cubicle and turning and going into her own.

 

 

That day was very uneventful. Sakura and Rikka stayed in they're own cubicles, trying to keep as quiet as possible. At the end of the day, Rikka told Sakura she was going out for a coffee and would meet her back at the complex. Rikka took the `bug' so Sakura had to walk.

 

-“Bye!” she called to Rikka.

 

-“I won't be long!” Rikka called back.

 

Rikka drove off and Sakura started walking back to the complex. About half way there, she ran into some punks in a ally.

 

-“Hey princess.” One guy said

 

-“Wanna play?” The other one asked.

 

Sakura was starting to get scared. If it was just one guy, she could of probably taken him on and won, but two? She knew she didn't have much of a chance. She backed up until she was up against the wall with nowhere to go.

 

-“Please, just leave me alone!” she cried. The bigger of the two thugs reached into his jacket and brought out a knife. Sakura gasped, then she heard someone walking her way. “Help me!” She yelled, hoping to get the person's attention.

 

-“Shut up!” yelled the man with the knife and slit her cheek with the blade.

 

-“Ahh!” she cried putting her hand to her face. Then she heard a cry of pain and a loud `thud'. She looked up and saw the man with the knife laying on the ground. Beside him was a man about her height with blond hair. The other punk looked at his comrade then up to the blond haired man, turned, and ran away. Sakura turned to the blond haired man and he turned to her. They're eyes locked for a second. Suddenly, Sakura felt dizzy and started to fall over.

 

-“Oh!” The man exclaimed and ran over to her. He caught her just before she hit the ground. The last thing Sakura saw before blacking out was a pair of very concerned light blue eyes looking into her light green ones.
