Accidents

Chapter 1

Its been a month since the police brought Sasuke to the orphanage, for the past month all he would do was stare at the pinkette that would sit at the table across the room and colour, a blond haired boy would sit with her and make conversation with her. She would always blush when he would point out that Sasuke was staring. He thinks she is cute, but he will never admit it because he thinks girls have cooties and are icky. (A/N he says this now XD) Itachi had once told him that a girl would give a guy cooties from kissing! He was scared of girls, especially the ones that would chase him up and down their street day and night, trying to kiss him. He would run as fast as his legs could carry him and run back home and slam the door inn their face.

It is a Satuday night when the pinkette grew the courage to talk to Sasuke. She walks up to him and sits down beside him, his eyes widen slightly when he notices her and heat creeps up the back of his neck. She fiddles with her pink dress and squeaks out, "hi, I'm sakura."

A couple of the workers gawk at them when they hear Sasuke stutter, "h-hi I... I'm Sasuke."

The blond haired boy gets glomped by another blonde, this time a girl, she lets out a high-pitched girly squeal and whispers, "operation, get Sakura-chan to talk to stupid over there, success."

"Inoo... Get off of him. You are squishing him." Sakura says to the blonde girl.

"Shut up, forehead." Ino growls at the girl.

Sakura giggles and Ino bursts into fits of laughter. "Hello, I'm Ino." Ino says to Sasuke, who stays silent.

She glares at him but then tackle hugs a brunette when he walks into the room. He grumbles something about Ino being a troublesome blonde. (A/N guess who?) He glares at her and Sakura giggles, "Sasuke-kun, this is Ino, Naruto and Shikamaru. You'll meet the rest of the gang later."

"Hn." Sasuke grunts.

Ino rolls her eyes, "great another loner."

Sasuke raises his eyebrow at her and Sakura fills him in, "she means Neji-kun. He's silent and moody, like you."

He glares at her, she spins around when the door opens and three figures stomp in, Ayeme, Ami and Karin. "Hey, Pinky, why don't you back off, freak. My Sasuke-kun does not want to be around you." Karin snaps snottily.

Sakura hides behind Ino and Naruto. Shikimaru and Sasuke watch as Karin, Ayeme and Ami make fun of Sakura's huge forehead. Sasuke clenches his fists at his sides and steps forward, "leave Sakura alone. She didn't do anything wrong."

The three bullies back away from Sakura and stare at Sasuke, he glares at them until they leave. Karin kisses him on the cheek before bolting it out the door. Sasuke looks repulsed and wipes her saliva away from his cheek and shudders. Naruto howls in laughter, he laughs so hard that he loses his balance and falls on the ground with tears streaming down his face. The four people around him just look at him like he grew another head. They all sweatdrop, Sakura speaks to him slowly, "Naruto, it wasn't even funny."

"But Sakura-chan! Did you see Sasuke's face?" Naruto asks between fits of laughter.

"Naruto! Don't be mean!" Ino scowls at him before Sakura could do anything.

"Ino? You're siding with her? What happened to him being stupid and never going to side with him?"

"I lied." She says sticking out her tounge out at him.

Sakura sighs but turns to Sasuke and says with a smile, "Sasuke-kun, do you want to go play outside with me?"

Sasuke's head snaps up so quickly everyone around him thinks he would get whip lash from the action. Heat creeps its way up his neck and onto his ears, he starts to stutter but gulps down the lump in his throat and says, "Aa."

Sasuke crams his hands into his pockets and follows the wirlwind of pink outside. He walks outside and notices her on a swing, she smiles at him when he gets closer and sits on the swing beside her. "So Sasuke-kun, what happened? You have a bunch of family, why didn't anyone want to take you in?"

Sasuke stays silent, contimplating weither or not to tell her, her smile drops and she says to him, "you don't have to tell me, you know. I don't expect you to trust me."

"It's um complicated. You wouldn't understand." Sasuke says after a good minute or two of silence.

"Oh. Okay." Sakura whispers looking down at the ground beneath her feet.

"So um what happened with you? Why are you here?" Sasuke asks, avoiding eye contact and kicks the pebbles under his feet.

Sakura stops breathing for about 10 seconds before letting out a shakey breath and whispers,"my mom and dad were killed."

Sasuke's eyes widen to saucers and he looks at her, she starts to tear up and he starts to inwardly panic. He looks frantically from side to side, he sees no one, he looks back at Sakura and says rushed, "you don't have to tell me, I'm sorry I asked."

She smiles sadly at him, "it's okay Sasuke-kun."

He gulps slightly, and resumes swinging back and forth gently. They sit there for what seems hours in silence, Sasuke breaks the silence, with just an audible whisper, Sakura almost misses what he says, but she hears him, "no one wanted me when my parents died."

Sakura stares at him, "why didn't anyone want you?"

"I was the reason they died." Sasuke whispers, his throat getting dry.

Sakura's eyes widen and she opens her mouth but before she could speak Sasuke started to speak again, cutting her off, "I was the reason they drove off the bridge. I just stood there and let them die, I didn't do anything."

Sakura stands up and walks infront of him and stands there, staring down at him. Sasuke looks up at her, thinking that she'll be like everyone else that knew what happened that day, he closes his eyes and waits for her to hit him. But what came instead is what shocks him, she wraps her tiny arms around his neck and hugs him tightly. His eyes widen, but before he could hug her back she pulls back and mutters, "sorry, I don't know what came over me."

Sasuke nods, not wanting to speak just in case his voice cracks, and he did not want that. She sits back down on her swing and an awkward silence makes its presence. Sasuke glances at Sakura and says, "I told you about my parents, what happened to yours? Did they die in an accident or something?"

"They were at work, they both worked at a book store, you know 'Maymie's Bookstore', there, my mom and dad both owned it. Some jerkface broke in the store while my mom and dad were closing up and shot them. No one knows why."

Sasuke looks up at her, "you're a Haruno? My dad was on that case, they never did catch that man that killed Maymie or Hirashi."

"Nope." Sakura mumbles under her breath.

"Can I ask you something?" Sasuke asks after another moment of silence.

Sakura nods her head and he continues, "why did you talk to me earlier? Did you talk to me just because I'm Uchiha Itachi's little brother?"

Sakura laughs slightly and shakes her head, "no Sasuke-kun, I didn't talk to you just because you're Itachi's brother. I don't care much for him. What gave you that idea?"

She cocks her head to the side slightly and Sasuke almost blurts out that he thinks she looks cute, but he swallows that comment deep within his throat. Instead he answers her question, "because everyone treats me like I'm perfect just 'cause I'm Itachi's brother. No one actually cares about me for me."

"I care about you for you, not because you're brother is a genius. You are you, and no one can change that." She says smiling afterwards.

Sasuke looks away and mutters, "do you promise?"

"Of course I promise." Sakura says before jumping off the swing and pulls him behind her by his wrist. They run back to the house and Ino and Naruto tackle them. Naruto sits on Sasuke and Ino on Sakura, "what were you two doing?"

Ino asks suspiciously looking down at her best friend. "I-Ino-chan, g-get off S-Sakura-ch-chan." A new shy voice says.

"Hinata-chan, this is Sasuke, Sasuke this is Hinata." Sakura introduces when Ino climbs off her and Naruto climbs off Sasuke.

"H-hello, Uchiha-sama." Hinata says bowing.

Naruto glares at Sasuke and says, "you're an Uchiha? What are you doing in this dump?"

Sakura smacks Naruto in the head and glares darkly at him, Naruto cowers in fear behind Hinata, he states matter-of-factly, "for a seven year old, Sakura-chan, you are scarey."

Sakura growls at him before turning around, 'humphing' him and crosses her arms. Ino pipes up and agrees with Naruto, "it's true Forehead, you've got a killer temper. Not to mention an Inner."

"Shut up." Sakura mutters.

Ino giggles and says in a sing-song voice, "denial. You're in denial."

Ino dances around Sakura in little circles and her and Naruto both burst into fits of laughter and roll around on the ground. A new voice broke the two blonds from their fits of laughter, "oh Sakura-chan! Youthful flower-"

Another new voice cuts him off, "save it Lee."

The two figures come closer and 'Lee' has hearts in his eyes as he stares at Sakura. She hides behind Sasuke and says, "That's Tenten and Lee, guys this is Sasuke."

Lee turns his gaze to the raven infront of Sakura and declares, "we are rivals for Sakura's heart!"

"Boys have cooties!" Exclaims an embarassed Sakura at the same time Sasuke says, "girls have cooties."

They look at each other and blush, looking away quickly. Ino and Naruto's jaw drops and they exclaim at the same time, "you two like each other!"

A bored voice breaks their attention on the two blushing kids, "kids, time for supper, get at the table or you get none."

The man has silver hair and a mask covering most of his face. Sasuke follows Sakura and the rest of them into the dining room and sits at the table beside a chubby kid and a boy that somewhat resembles a dog, Sakura sits infront of him and starts talking animatedly with everyone she possibly could. Sasuke silence as they say a prayer for the food and starts eating when everyone else does. When supper was done Sasuke went to his room and sighs, 'can I trust her? Is what she said ealier about liking me for me true? I guess I'll find out.' He collapses on his bed and realizes then just how tired he really is and falls into a deep sleep minutes later.
