Last Time in Collage

Last Time in College

Chapter 1

Best of Luck

It was a Saturday afternoon the Konoha College was a bore at this time of day. Sasuke walked on the campus for awhile before he decided to go visit some of his friends. Sasuke was 20 years old, an average height of 6'0; he weighed 118 a little under weight. He is a very athletic man but is also a not so popular guy with the guys and most of the girls.

"Sasuke!" yelled his English teacher.

"What is it teach'?" asked Sasuke hoping it wasn't more work.

"Sasuke, you're failing all your classes' again." said his teacher.

"I know Mr. Hatake, but I'm working on it." said Sasuke.

His teacher sighed and then turned to the boys dorms. "Listen Sasuke, that's not good enough, you're grades have to go up now or you're staying in college for another year." He looked back at Sasuke.

"I'm trying. I'm just not ready." Sasuke said with a sigh.

"Okay, here's the deal, you hire a tutor and if you can keep your grades up you'll graduate, but if you don't you're staying. Okay?" He asked studying Sasuke.

Sasuke stood there for a moment, thinking. He looked over at the dorms, then over at the collage gates. "Who? No one would want to tutor a guy like me." Sasuke said with a hint of worry in his voice.

His teacher looked away. "Sakura Haruno. She's number one at the college. Who knows you may like her." He winked and walked off.

Great. Sasuke thought. A tutor man this bites.

"Hey Sasuke!" one of his friends yelled snapping him out of his thought. "Are you coming to my dorm or not?" Sasuke's friend kicked a rock at him.

"No." Sasuke replied. "I'm going to research tonight." Sasuke moved out of the way of the rock.

Later that day

Sasuke knocked on Sakura Haruno's door praying she'd help him. She answered the door. "Hello." Sasuke said.

She looked at him for a moment. "Sasuke Uchiha." she said with no difficulty of realizing he was the Uchiha on the school grounds.

Sasuke looked at the floor. Not knowing what to say. "S-Sakura can you um t-tutor m-me." he stumbled on his words.

She looked at him. "I well. Just promise you won't be like the other guys." She looked at him for a minute.

Sasuke thought for a few minutes. "No problem. I'll do anything I just need to get out of college." Sasuke said jumping at his chance.

Sakura smiled. "Okay. Umm meet in your dorm room around 7:00 or 8:00." she said with some enthusiasm.

Sasuke almost jumped but held it in. "Sure. My dorm number is 1720."

"Okay I'll see you then." Sakura said. "Bye."

"Bye." Sasuke said walking away.

Sakura smiled. Sasuke had a feeling that Sakura was happy that she had to tutor the best soccer player in the village. Sakura couldn't wait until she could tutor him. For once she was happy to teach someone.

Sasuke walked around the school grounds for awhile before running into Naruto. Naruto didn't look happy to see him. Sasuke looked at his long time friend trying to figure out what had happened.

"Sasuke, I hate you." he said with out the slightest hesitation.

Sasuke stared at him hoping he was joking. "What did I do Naruto?" he asked.

"What did you do?! You turned down coming to our dorm room for a party for studying I can't believe that. This isn't you." Naruto yelled right in Sasuke's face.

Sasuke stared at Naruto in disbelief. "Naruto I'm failing again. This is my fourth year in college. I only needed one year for my career as a cop and then my back up was soccer, but that isn't happening."

Naruto snarled, turned away and left. Sasuke went back to his dorm room a little upset about what Naruto had said. He kicked the wall. "Damn him!" Sasuke yelled. "Who the hell does he think he is? He acts like my dad! I'm damn tired of that loser telling me what I can and can't do" Some one knocked on the door. Sasuke knew it was Sakura. "The doors open."

Sakura walked in. "Hey Sasuke." She looked at him for a moment. "Is this a bad time?"

"No, its fine Naruto just got on my nerves." said Sasuke.

"Oh. I'm sorry." said Sakura.

"It's not a problem. Lets get started I guess." said Sasuke.

Sakura blushed. "Alright." Sakura said closing the door behind her. Sasuke grabbed a chair and pulled it over to his desk. "Here you go." Sasuke patted the chair. Sakura sat down.

"What's first?" Sasuke asked.

"How about we start with math?" Sakura asked.

"Alright." said Sasuke.

Sakura grabbed a piece of paper from her bag. "Alright I brought a page of math problems. Their really easy so don't sweat it okay?" Sakura said.

"Alright. What's the first problem?" asked Sasuke.

"Alright, 9z54" said Sakura.

"So you would be z6. You would divide 54 by 9 which would make z6." said Sasuke. "Right?"

Sakura looked at him for a moment. "Right." said Sakura. Sasuke thought she looked surprised.

I thought Kakashi said he was bad at math. She thought. He must not believe Sasuke can graduate.

"Sakura what are you thinking about?" Sasuke asked snapping Sakura out of her thoughts.

"Nothing." replied Sakura.

"Alright." said Sasuke.

A year later that same day...

Sasuke leaned over towards Sakura. "Sasuke." said Sakura. He paid not attention.

"You so beautiful Sakura." He said.

Sakura blushed. "That means a lot coming from you."

"No problem. I am the nicest person at the college." He said leaning closer. "What do you think of me Sakura?"

Sakura blushed harder. "You're a nice guy handsome, strong and a helpful guy when it comes to people's problems."

"Thanks Sakura you're the first person to say that to me... ever" said Sasuke. Sakura leaned towards Sasuke. "Just don't tell anyone."

"What would I do that for?" She asked.

The two were less the two inches apart. Sasuke's hand was on top of Sakura's right hand, and Sakura's left hand was on Sasuke's knee.

"I guess your right." said Sasuke.

The two kissed. Some one opened Sasuke's dorm door. "S-Sasuke?" the person stammered. Sasuke and Sakura paid no attention. Sasuke knew it was Naruto. After a couple minutes Sasuke and Sakura drew apart.

"Sasuke what are you doing?" Naruto almost shouted.

"Nothing." said Sasuke.

"Yeah right." said Naruto.

Sasuke sighed and stood up. "Naruto..." he said. Naruto looked at him. "Go to hell." Sasuke took a step forward and punched Naruto. Sakura stood up and grabbed Sasuke's arm.

"Please stop." said Sakura.

"Alright." said Sasuke.

Naruto scoffed and walked away. "Go die Sasuke!" He yelled.

"I'll make sure I do that fox boy." Sasuke yelled with acid in his voice.

Naruto stopped dead in his tracks. "What did you say, Snake?" he asked.

"I said I'll make sure I do that fox boy." replied Sasuke.

Naruto turned around and ran at Sasuke. Sakura stepped in front of Sasuke and took the punch.

"Sakura!" Sasuke yelled before he caught her. "Sakura, are you alright!?"

Sasuke laid her on the floor of his dorm. He didn't show it but he was worried he knew Sakura had a health problem, and that she had to wait till she had graduated from college before she could have the surgery. "Naruto what where you thinking? You could have killed here!" yelled Sasuke.

Naruto was standing there stunned about what he had just done. "I-I." he stumbled.

"Damn it Naruto! speak the hell up!" Sasuke yelled.

"She just got in front of you. I-I didn't mean to." Naruto said.

"Get out of here Naruto." Sasuke snarled. "I was wrong to call you friend."

"But Sasuke." Naruto started.

"Now you freak!" Sasuke snarled.

Naruto started off really upset about what he had just done. He kept thinking why Sakura had gotten in his way.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

Sasuke ran as fast as he could to the hospital. He was worried about Sakura. Her breath was shallow and she barely had a pulse. If her heart stopped Sasuke would have to do mouth to mouth. Luckily he had taken a class on CPR. "Sakura, hang in there." Sasuke told her. "I'm not going to let you die."

Sakura shivered. Sasuke held her closer. "You'll be alright. I promise." "S-Sasuke." Sakura weakly said. "Sakura I'm taking you to the hospital, okay." Sasuke said holding Sakura closer. "I'm sorry, that I didn't tell you about my condition." Sakura said.

Sasuke shook his head. "Don't worry. It was none of my business." Sasuke told her. "Only tell me what I should hear alright." Sakura nodded weakly. Sasuke ran into the hospital.

"Shizune, Tsunade! Some one help!" He yelled.

"What is it kid?" Tsunade asked.

"Lady Hokage, Naruto punched Sakura. She's having trouble breathing. Please help." Sasuke pleaded.

Tsunade looked at Sakura then back at Sasuke. "Right. Shizune!" Tsunade yelled. Shizune, Tsunade's helper, ran out to her panting. "Yes My lady?" She asked.

"Get this girl to the ER immediately." Tsunade replied.

"Alright" said Shizune as she took Sakura out of Sasuke's arms. "Don't worry kid, we'll save her."

Shizune took Sakura to the ER. Sasuke turned toward the waiting room. "Wait kid." said Tsunade.

"Yeah, Lady Hokage?" Sasuke asked.

"I need to speak with you." She replied.

"Alright." said Sasuke.

The two both went to the waiting room. "Can you tell me exactly what happened?" asked Tsunade.

"Yeah." replied Sasuke.

"What's your name kid?" She asked.

"Sasuke Uchiha ma'am." replied Sasuke.

"Alright Sasuke, tell me what happened." said Tsunade.

"Naruto Uzumaki and I got in a fight and Sakura had told me not to do anymore fighting, and I did as told but then Naruto tried to punch me and Sakura got in front of me. I'm not sure why though. I know she has a very bad condition I'm not sure what it is called but she couldn't breathe and she can't have the surgery until she graduates, so Naruto almost killed her after that punch. That's all that happened." Sasuke told her.

"Thank you Sasuke." said Tsunade. "Are you related to Sakura at all?"

"No I'm her boyfriend" said Sasuke.

Tsunade looked at Sasuke intently. "She doesn't look like your type, Sasuke." She remarked.

Sasuke blushed. "She's not. But I love her. She's not like any other girl I've meant she doesn't care that I'm failing. She just wants to help me and be with Me." said Sasuke.

Tsunade looked at him and smiled. "You're a brave kid saving her like this. I'm sure you two will be great together." She told him before she stood to leave.

"Thanks ma'am." said Sasuke.

Tsunade smiled then left. Sasuke sat alone waiting he was worried sick about Sakura. He sat there for over two hours. Sasuke couldn't sit there much longer he needed something to drink. He stood up and went to the hospitals cafeteria.

"I hate hospitals." Sasuke said to himself.

He walked over to the vending machines. He dug in his pockets for a minute. "Damn it" Sasuke said quietly. He paid no attention to the man standing beside him.

"Sir you need a drink?" The man next to him asked.

"Yeah I do, but I shouldn't bother you about it." Sasuke replied.

"It's not a problem." The man said. "I'm Sazuki Haruno. You are?"

Sasuke looked at Sazuki intently. He wondered if he was related to Sakura at all. "I'm Sasuke Uchiha." Sasuke said. He didn't show it but he was a little jumpy about the man he had just meant.

"Nice to meet you Sasuke." said Sazuki.

"Are you related to Sakura Haruno?" asked Sasuke.

"Yes, I'm her father." replied Sazuki. "Why?"

Sasuke took a deep breath. "I'm Sakura's boyfriend." He replied. "She's been in the ER for a couple of hours. My friend accidentally punched Sakura and she couldn't breath"

"Oh. I didn't know." Sazuki said. "Did you save her?"

"Yeah, I brought her here." Sasuke replied.

"Thank you Sasuke." Sazuki said.

"It's no problem Sazuki. I'd do anything for your daughter." said Sasuke.

Sasuke smiled. Sazuki smiled back. "I think Sakura found the perfect guy." Sazuki said. Tsunade walked in. "Sasuke you can she her now." She said.

"Thanks Lady Tsunade." said Sasuke.

Sasuke followed Tsunade to the room Sakura was in. "Go ahead Sasuke." Tsunade said. Sasuke walked in to the room. Tsunade shut the door after Sasuke walked in.

"Sakura?" Sasuke asked quietly.

"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura said.

"I'm glad you okay Sakura." Sasuke told her as he walked over to her bed side.

Sakura smiled and looked at Sasuke. "They said I can leave at any time today." She said.

"I'll take you to my house in a hour." said Sasuke.

"You're house?" Sakura asked confused.

"Yeah. I uh... want you to meet my parents and you know I can show you around." Sasuke replied.

"S-sure Sasuke... That would be alright." said Sakura.

Sasuke smiled. "I'll be back in a hour Sakura-chan." He said before he left. Sakura smiled to herself. Sasuke's parents where very wealthy as was Sasuke.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

Sasuke headed toward the college so he could excuse himself and Sakura from their classes. He picked up a few other things then went to pick up Sakura.

"Hey Sakura-chan." said Sasuke as he opened the door.

"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura said happily.

Sasuke smiled. He only smiled the way he did around her. "Come on." said Sasuke. He helped Sakura up. She hugged him tightly. "Thank you." She said. Sasuke kissed Sakura's cheek. "I'd do anything." said Sasuke.

"You alright?"

"Yeah." replied Sakura.

They where soon at Sasuke's house. "This is it." said Sasuke. Sakura stared for a moment. "My dad is working on the other so this is makeshift."

"Okay." Sakura said.

Sakura smiled. She was dating the Uchiha prodigy and his parents where rich. Sasuke helped Sakura out of the car. It started to drizzle. "Sasuke!" his mother yelled.

"Mother." said Sasuke.

Sasuke hugged his mother. "It's been awhile." his mother said. Sasuke smiled. "Yeah, college and all." said Sasuke. Sakura smiled she never knew Sasuke was this happy since he was always so dark and mysteries.

"Sasuke who's this?" Sasuke's mother asked.

"This is Sakura Haruno... Um she's my um girlfriend." replied Sasuke.

"Sasuke that's great." His mother said.

Sakura smiled. "Hi." She said. Sasuke's mom smiled. "I'm Mikoto." Sasuke's mom said. Sasuke cleared his throat. "I'm gonna show Sakura around." He said. "Come on Sakura." Sakura nodded. Sakura followed Sasuke into his house.

"And this is my room." Sasuke said as he opened a door.

"Sasuke... wow." said Sakura.

Sasuke got down on his knee. Sakura looked at him. "Sakura..." he started as he took Sakura's hand. "Well you marry me?"

"S-Sasuke." said Sakura. She hugged him. "Yes Sasuke. The answer is yes."

Sasuke had tears welding up in his eyes. Sakura had tears streaming down her face. Sasuke placed the ring on Sakura's finger. "I know we've only been going out for a little bit but I want to marry you Sakura" said Sasuke.

"I wanted to move on to Sasuke... Thank you" said Sakura.

Sakura hugged Sasuke tighter. "I'm always in love with one girl." said Sasuke. Sakura smiled and put her head on Sasuke's shoulder. "I'll always love you" said Sakura.

"Let's go to the river." said Sasuke.

"Sure." said Sakura.

The two went outside the sun was now out. They both got in Sasuke's car. "You know what's weird." Sasuke said. Sakura looked at him. "The rivers side had sand and everyone goes to swim there." Sakura laughed. She leaned over and kissed Sasuke on the cheek. He blushed. Sasuke parked the car and they both got out.

"I still can't imagine this site when I'm not here" said Sakura.

Sasuke and Sakura walked on to the sand. They both sat down.

"Sasuke?"

"Hm?" asked Sasuke.

"Have you talked to Naruto since he hurt me?" Sakura asked.

"No." replied Sasuke.

Sasuke took of his shirt and stood up. Sakura looked at him. Sasuke ran and jumped. Sakura looked for him. He hadn't surfaced. Then she saw his.

"Alright!" He yelled. "Come on babe!"

Sakura jumped into the river as well. Sasuke went under again and bumped against Sakura's leg. She jumped. Sasuke surfaced. "Damn this water is cold!!" He yelled. After two hours of swimming Sasuke and Sakura got out of the water. Twenty minutes later Sasuke and Sakura where lying next to a small fire.

"Fire or Ice?" Sakura asked.

"Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice." Sasuke recited.

"Robert Frost." said Sakura.

"Of course." said Sasuke. "I favor fire though."

"That makes two of us" said Sakura.
