Sakura went straight home and locked up her bike, her Mum was already home as her car was out the front so as she stepped in the front door and slid out of her shoes, she could smell dinner already cooking, the scent of sweet beef dumplings and teriyaki sauce was what she picked up on, she smiled to herself and went upstairs... Naruto's speech and positive words had put her in a really good mood, that was the thing about Naruto.. he could make anyone crack a smile, mostly from his stupidity but for other reasons too..

Sakura got out of her uniform and hung it up, pulling on a pair of white shorts and a light pink lazy t-shirt, she kept her long white socks on that went up to her knees and kept her hair up, she'd have a shower after dinner anyway, for the second time today.

Sakura rushed downstairs with her little box of prawns Sasuke had made her "Mum, I'm going to have this for dinner too okay?'' she smiled up at her Mother who was in an apron and stirring the sauce on the stove. Quickly warming up the prawns, Sakura pulled out her phone as she sat on the kitchen side with her legs dangling, the smell of Sasuke's cooking filled the kitchen and she couldn't stop smiling to herself, especially as her Mum commented and asked if she could try some.

'Sasuke, let's have a normal day tomorrow? okay? Sakura 3' she pressed 'send' as she tapped out the text and sighed, closing her eyes for a moment.

Sasuke was in his room, wearing a pair of black jogging bottoms with white stripes down the side and a navy blue t-shirt with a white seven on the front. He'd been practising his violin on his mothers orders when he heard the chimey text tone from his mobile.

Sasuke put down his violin and threw himself down on his bed, picking up the phone, smirking at the text, quickly tapping out a reply, 'Yes definitely... today was weird. Sorry about that. Sas. x' he typed, which was rare, he never said the word sorry and never put a kiss at the end of his messages.. he was too blunt but, Sasuke was in an oddly good mood since he got home, showered, went for a run, found out his cat was pregnant and that they were having Suki yaki for dinner... life wasn't that bad, not really.

Sasuke text Naruto then 'We should do something this weekend, the three of us, if you're up for it, oh and... talking today was good.' he sent to Naruto before getting off his bed and sliding his phone away as his mother called him for dinner.

That evening was a nice evening, Sakura sat down and ate dinner with her Mum they both ate Sasuke's beautiful prawns and thoroughly enjoyed it, obviously. They watched night time TV after Sakura's shower, Sakura with her fat white cat in her lap which she stroked idly, she went to bed early that night..Eager for the next day, 'tomorrow will be better..' she told herself as she drifted off to sleep.

Only the next morning she was woken up not by her Mum but by her phone ringing from her bedside table, Sakura lifted her hand blindly for it with a groan, flipping it open and holding it to her ear. "Hello..?'' she said sleepily into it.

"H-hey Sakura.. it's me.. Naruto..y'know?''

Twitch.

''Naruto, I don't wake up for another hour yet...do you have a death wish?''

Naruto could be heard chuckling weakly down the other end, then coughing. "S-sorry.. just, I won't be in school today..''

Sakura's eyes fluttered open a little more and she sat up on one elbow in her bed, her pink her a mess of bed hair right now. "Why not? come to think of it, you sound pretty awful Naruto..'' she frowned in concern.

"Yeah well..you would too if you'd had a night like me!'' Naruto chuckled on the other end again then groaned. "I was up all night in pain, I've had it before but it got better..Dad's had a enough so we're going to the hospital today to find out whats going on, y'know..which sucks as I really wanted to see you today! sorry Sakura..''

Sakura was sat up properly now, running her fingers through her messy strawberry milkshake coloured hair. ''Oh...'' was all she could say but there was worry flickering all over her face. "Okay well.. I'll tell the teacher, just.. text me later to tell me if you know what it is?''

"Sure! hopefully they don't have to cut off my arm! y'know.. because that would really suck.''

'How would your stomach...-' Sakura just shook her head, shaking her thoughts off.. Naruto would always be an idiot.

"A-anyway, Dad's coming to help me get dressed as I can't move.. wanted to tell you though! Don't worry too much about me Sakura! bye!"

When Naruto hung up Sakura lowered her phone and looked at it with a frown. 'Naruto's never off school... I hope he's alright' she thought with a sigh, flopping back into her bed... she was going to have another hour but, she might as well just get up now and watch a bit of TV or something.

Sakura and Sasuke knew that Naruto didn't have parents, he had a Foster Dad called Iruka he'd been fostered since he was one years old so that's all Naruto could remember, he saw Iruka as a real Dad and nothing else, they lived in a small house ten minutes away in town, Naruto was a pretty basic guy though.. his favourite food was BBQ pork instant ramen, his favourite drink was... milk, his favourite animal was frogs, his favourite hobbies were...eating, trying to beat up Sasuke, going camping with his Dad and flirting with Sakura, he watched a lot of action films all night too and never did his home work... that was Naruto in a nutshell, he seemed happy enough and he never complained, but he'd been bullied in primary school although he never spoke about it or showed that it affected him at all, he'd really come out of his shell when he got closer to Sasuke and her anyway.

Sakura had a slow morning, it was nice though.. her Mum wasn't even awake yet, she drank herbal tea in her back garden in her pyjamas with her cat, ate some Special K with strawberries and a leftover sweet dumpling that was in the fridge, then she ran herself a long bath, scrubbed herself in bubbles and washed her hair with her cherry shampoo. Sakura had a lot of time to get ready so she made a lot of effort today, she put her clear nail varnish on her clean nails, put a very thin line of liquid eyeliner on her upper lid and the smallest amount of mascara to define her lashes, she brushed her hair and then decided to curl it so it was in ringlets.

When Sakura was finally ready to go, she felt really good as she went out to get her bike and rode to her meeting place with Sasuke.

Sasuke was already there as usual and sighed when he saw Sakura... great, no moron today to keep the tension broke. "Hey Sakura..." He greeted her, as he pushed himself up from the wall and straddled his bike, peddling slowly beside Sakura so they could talk. "I got a weird text from Naruto this morning saying 'uugh, bad stomach. Won't be in today y'know, going to the hospikal.' He read out skilfully, holding his handlebar with one hand as he read out Naruto's badly spelt text, sighing and sliding his phone away.

"The idiot probably are too much ramen... but it's really not like him to miss school, don't you think?" he murmured thoughtfully as they cycled through town, since they were both early, Sasuke stopped at the corner shop and bought himself an instant cappuccino, he was a sucker for coffee, especially in the mornings but, they usually spent so long waiting for Naruto... they never got the time.

Sakura went through the list with a thoughtful 'hmm' and selected a strawberry frappachino with a cookie, she went over to Sasuke and sat down beside him in the small coffee shop, she looked out of the window as she sipped her drink, it was a little warmer out today, summer was definitely coming...

"Naruto didn't sound too good on the phone'' Sakura muttered then in concern, looking over at Sasuke across the table as she nibbled her cookie, chewing it slowly. "We'll find out later anyway hm?'' she smiled a bit, leaning back into her chair with a happy sigh. 'This is such a nice day...' Sakura thought as she hung her head back over her chair so it was partially upside down, her eyes on the petals fluttering across the sky out the window.

Sasuke nodded and broke the plain chocolate kit-Kat he bought in half, dunking it in his coffee, at home he would have sucked off the bitter chocolate... but it didn't feel appropriate here with Sakura so he just ate it normally, nibbling at it elegantly as always.

"Mm... hope it's nothing to serious. Its nearly the end of the year, we're going to have so much homework over the next few weeks, assignments and stuff... finals are at the end of next month." He sighed, shaking his head. He knew he'd have to end up helping Naruto with his work or he wouldn't pass the year and get held back.

Sasuke looked up across the table at Sakura then and actually smiled a little when he saw the happy expression on her face. "So... just me and you today hm?" He said thoughtfully with a smirk, getting out his timetable, which he knew off by heart anyway and checked his homework diary. "Damn.. that music assignment is this morning... we were supposed to do duets... and Naruto isn't here, we have half the day to do it... would you... would you mind helping me out?" He asked awkwardly, looking up at Sakura who he knew was already doing her assignment with Ten-Ten...

Sakura looked back over at him in slight surprise but nodded once eagerly "sure!'' she smiled getting up from her chair and moving her's across so she was right next to him, bringing her stuff with her.. she sipped at her frappachino and looked up at Sasuke. "Did you have an idea of what you two were going to do?'' she asked him with a tilt of her head.

Sasuke shrugged a little at that and awkwardly wet his lips, stirring his coffee foam. "Uh...well, I wasn't actually sure... I've never... sang in front of anyone... so I was going to ask Naruto to do a piano duet of Hallelujah with me, he can't really play but... the chords he could manage, then... Kurenai sensei said we have to do vocals too so... I was wondering if you'd sing... with me." He mumbled, glaring now into his cup as if it had offended him. Sasuke was such an un-expressive person outwardly but he secretly loved playing the piano, the violin and the flute... he never performed though, just head lessons since he was a kid, all but forced to go by his mother... and his Dad forced martial arts, he was a typical Japanese boy really...

Sakura could actually see how hard Sasuke was finding this right now; she was watching his face, small details about it... 'You're so cute Sasuke...' she thought to herself and had to bite down on her bottom lip, she couldn't help herself she giggled behind it and smacked a hand over her mouth. "Of course, I'll sing with you!" she blurted loudly, making people around her stare in surprise. Oh god... 'no this is going to be a good day Sakura...You're not going to get embarrassed and turn into an idiot today' Sakura took a deep breath through her nose and reached over to lay a hand on Sasuke's arm. "I'll do anything you want, for Naruto too, okay?'' she smiled, trying to avoid looking at his eyes. 'Let's face it..I'll always be a fool for you, Sasuke.'

Sasuke blinked at the hand on his arm and finally looked up at her. "Anything? That's stupid... what if I asked you to jump in front of a bus?" He teased in his own, dry Sasuke way, raising an eyebrow and smirking a little, then his smirk slipped into a small smile. "But... thank you." He said genuinely. "I'll probably get a better mark for it with you anyway... have you heard Naruto singing? He sounds like a drunk clown getting run over." He actually snorted a little, shoving some kit-Kat into his mouth before he could start laughing, recalling the time they'd had to record themselves singing for Music and Naruto started wailing... it was nearly impossible not to laugh, even for Sasuke.

Sakura snorted again and tried really hard not to laugh but little giggles came out of her lips then all out laughter until she had to wipe the corners of her eyes, Naruto wasn't even here and he was still making them laugh, making them smile..that was the magic of Naruto Uzumaki.

When Sakura had got over her little giggle fit, she drank the rest of her frappachino and put her bag over her shoulder. "Let's go, we have no excuse to be late today if Naruto's not here'' she smiled at him and took hold of his arm, waving to the nice tubby coffee lady who smiled at them as they walked out, Sakura went over to her bike and got onto it.

When they got to school... that's when it all went terribly wrong, her perfect day. A group of boys and a couple of girls approached Sakura and she looked at them in confusion.

"So, Sakura what was it like to have Sasuke Uchiha's cock inside you?'' One of the girls sneered.

"You're not a virgin now are you?'' one of the other boy's added and Sakura was getting redder and redder. "N-no.. I am-"

They burst into laughter "everybody knows you've done it... everybody knows you're the exact same as Ino Yamanaka''

"I-I am a virgin!'' Sakura snapped at them finally. "I would never sleep with Sasuke! Just because he's not interested in you doesn't mean that's my fault!" she yelled at them finally before rushing off through the front of the school doors.

Sasuke was fuming, he silently got off his bike and grabbed one of the girls by the front of her collar, the one that said the 'cock' comment... he yanked her close to him and glared down into his eyes. "So what if Sakura was sleeping with me? You tease her and yet, you'd do anything to have my cock inside you... you sad little slut. If I were to sleep with any girl at this school, it would be Sakura. Not a cheap little tramp like any of you." He snarled, pushing her to the ground and glaring down at her. "Now why don't you go and be sad jealous bitch somewhere else... tch.. Scum." He snapped nastily at them all, pushing through the gaggle of girls and heading after Sakura, on the way to the locker rooms he grabbed her arm gently and pulled her round to face him, anger all over his face but it wasn't at Sakura. "Hey.. sacra." He said firmly, pulling her into an empty class room, getting a little awkward, she wasn't crying was she?

Sakura looked up at him with watery eyes, she had been crying but she was just finishing up, she didn't cry that much so she could usually sort herself out, her eyes were glistening with liquid and her nose and cheeks were a little reddened, she turned around and buried her face in his chest with an 'umf' sound, she scrunched her eyes tightly and just stayed there. ''I'll be okay in a minute..'' came her muffled voice. "I'm sorry.. I-I don't want to embarrass you, I wish they'd all just... shut up already...'' she whispered frustatedly into the material.

Sasuke looked away for a moment, wetting his lips in irritation. "Tch... yeah well... you know they're just jealous, you know Sakura... I mean, even if... what they said... were true, its... not exactly something to be ashamed of is it?" He muttered, quirking up an eyebrow, arms folded across his chest. He wasn't being big headed, just honest...

"Mm-..c'mere... I don't want you to be upset, its... sort of my fault." He muttered, randomly doing something he'd never done before, reaching out he pulled Sakura to his chest with a soft thud, wrapping his arms around her in a manly way, giving her a squeeze as he looked up at the class room ceiling with a sigh.

A gasp left Sakura's lips and her eyes gave a soft shake in their sockets as she came face to face with Sasuke's chest, she couldn't help but breathe in through her nose, Sasuke's scent filling her nose and she couldn't help but mentally smile, he smelt so clean unlike most boys who smelt of b.o in her opinion and cheap deodorant, Sasuke smelt so elegant and it really summed him up. "Sasuke...'' his name rolled off her tongue in a whisper and she lifted her hand to clutch the front of his chest, sniffling quietly and closing her eyes. "I've just... got to toughen up, I'm sorry I'm being a baby... I-it's not something to be ashamed of to me, but I don't... want to degrade you or anything, you're a gentlemen.. you don't just, sleep around..'' she told him quietly.

Sasuke smirked at that and looked down at her, shaking his head as a soft chuckle escaped his lips. "Yeah, I know that... and you know it too... thats all that matters. This is just high school... it seems like... it's the only thing that matters but, in a few years time, you'll forget the names and faces of all those idiots..." He muttered to her, leaning back and holding her by the shoulders, casually swiping a few stray tears from her cheeks. "Now... chin up." He muttered, tilting her chin for emphasis. "And don't hide your face so much, you have really nice eyes, so show them off." He said idly, picking up his school bag and turning to leave the room.

"Hey-... this is kind of a dumb idea... but, since everyone thinks we're at it anyway-... how about we... play along, give them a reason to be jealous." He smirked, a little childishly but, then again... they were still kids.

Sakura's eyes widened a little as she wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve and sorted herself out, she looked up at him with parted lips. 'That sounds like something Naruto would do but... it sounds... fun' she felt herself smiling, anything to get back at those girls, she'd never been bullied in her whole life apart from when she was in nursery and everyone laughed at her forehead but all of this felt like bullying sometimes.. "Yeah, that sounds like a good idea'' she smiled a little mischievously.

Sasuke smirked a little and nodded. "Fine... anything to shut those sluts up." He muttered irritably, thinking back to the girls... They had assembly, this could be fun.

Sasuke took his black zip up hoody which had white Japanese Kanji down one sleeve and went over to Sakura, pulling it on her quickly, he mentally chuckled at how big and baggy it was on her, like a typical boyfriend hoody. "Come on then, assembly." He smirked, draping an arm idly around her shoulders and lead her out of the room... it was pretty weird, he was already doubting his master plan, but the look on everyone's faces as they walked into assembly like this, he couldn't stop smirking, wow.. he really was a big kid, no better than Naruto... that pissed him off.

Sakura's actions weren't exactly acted, she shyly clutched Sasuke's hoody around her with one hand and held onto the strap of her messenger bag with the other, she looked up at him shyly and then around at everybody else... it was amusing at just how many people were interested in their private lives, even the 'geeks' were whispering about it, a lot of people were saying 'I knew it' to each other and usually it would have frustrated Sakura but she mentally giggled like a little girl as they went to sit down together, a space next to them where Naruto would usually be.. She leant close to Sasuke, laying a hand on the front of his chest shyly as she pretended to be interested in the front of the assembly hall as the teacher began.

Sasuke blinked down at Sakura... no one was looking now, she didn't have to keep acting? But he tightened his arm around her shoulders, keeping her close to his chest he gave her arm a small pat and smirked down at her.

He tried to keep focused on the front as Tsunade the head mistress gave them all a speech... though Sasuke wasn't listening, he didn't care about the rules, he knew what they were and he abided by them... the usual stuff was covered... but as usual assembly was pretty dull.

Sasuke heard Ino gossiping away behind them and smirked to himself, leaning down to whisper in Sakura's ear; "You're really queen bee today" but making it look like he was kissing her cheek to people sat behind them.

Sakura glanced up at him with a soft blink and her lips curved into a smile. "I don't know if that's a good or bad thing...'' she whispered back to him, her smile weakening a little. ''I think a few girls would attempt to beat me up if I slept with you.. I know what some of the girls are like, I hear them talking...you should be really, really...creeped out'' she giggled softly. "One girl was plotting to get you drunk at a party she was planning... she was going to spike your drink and have sex with you and try and get pregnant with your baby..'' she gave him a serious nod. ''The girls are dangerous.''

Sasuke made a choking noise, his eyes visibly bulging in his skull a little... his mouth went very dry... if that were true.

"Jesus... maybe I should be more careful." He mumbled, staring at his legs. 'I should have gone to an all boys school' He added mentally, turning round to shoot the girls a glare.

Finally the bell rang and Sasuke was tempted to run out of assembly, he didn't know girls could be that psychotic.

He could sense Ino and her 'gaggle' following them as they walked out, gossiping to each other.

Sasuke casually slid his hand down and rested it on Sakura's butt as they walked, holding her to him as they headed to the music block. "I'm just going to the bathroom... babe." He muttered to her, getting into the role as he slipped away from her to go to the boys toilets.

That was a bad idea, Ino grabbed the back of Sakura's hair and yanked her right back as soon as Sasuke was out of sight she shoved her against the wall.

"What do you think you're doing with your filthy hands all over MY boy Sasuke!" She shrilled, pulling on her hair sharply.

Sakura let out a gasp of surprise as her back was slammed into the wall, she cried out a little with a wince and scrunched her eyes, daring to crack one open at the blonde haired girl in front of her, she had far too much make up on her and her hair was fried from bleach, why Ino thought she was attractive she'd never known, especially with that nose.. it looked like a pig's snout.

Sakura kept her eyes squinted but she smiled cockily at Ino, she was a pussy after all, she could be a bitch too. "I don't think my hands were on him... didn't you see? His hands were on... me'' she bit down on her bottom lip with her eyes glinting at Ino.

Ino wasted no time in slapping Sakura right across the face, the loud smacking sound echoed through the corridor.

"Stupid billboard brow! Why the HELL is Sasuke with you! You're just a flat chested little skank who thinks she's so much BETTER than everyone else! He's probably only doing this to piss off Naruto, you know that right?" She smirked, yanking Sakura's hair again and giving her a nasty kick in the shin.

Then she froze, feeling a tall presence behind her and breath on the back of her neck.

"O-oh Sasuke! I didn't see you there... You know... sakura's so possessive of you, she was trying to tell me about how big your dick is... how disgusting." She said in a fake suck up tone.

Sakura had a hand held to her reddening cheek, her eyes were on the ground but she looked up at Sasuke then at Ino... she was DONE with these girls, she moved towards Ino and curled her hand into a fist, not a slap.. She grabbed Ino's shoulder, span her around and slammed her fist full force into the side of her face with a loud 'cha' sound, sending Ino to the floor. Sakura closed her eyes and rubbed her hands together, adjusting her bag as she turned and walked off down the corridor. "When are you going to grow up Ino? if I ever saw Sasuke's 'dick' I wouldn't be telling you about it'' she muttered as she strutted along, her doll shoes making tapping sounds on the floor.

Sasuke stared at where Sakura had been standing moments ago with wide eyes... wow... that was pretty impressive, he'd seen Sakura take down Naruto before but THAT... was something else, it made his stomach knot a little.

Sasuke smirked down at Ino on the floor and shook his head, walking off after Sakura, still smirking.

"Nice." He said simply as they walked together to music... he was so bored of these distractions all the time... people needed to get over it.

When they got into the music class, Sasuke was pretty quick to sign into the assessment and pull Sakura into one of the recording rooms before anyone else could swipe it.

It was a smallish room, containing various instruments, recording equipment, in the centre of it was a baby-grand piano with a metronome on top of it and a stool big enough for two people to sit on.

There was a small window but no electric light, meaning the room was pretty dark and sound proof with just a beam of light coming through the small, slightly dirty square of glass, illuminating the piano like a spot light.

Sasuke looked around thoughtfully and began getting a little nervous then.

"So-... uh, can you even... play piano? It doesn't matter if you can't." He shrugged, rooting through the stack of music books.

Sakura looked up at him then put her bag down on top of the piano, getting out a drink she had in there from it she drank some of the lemonade and put it down on the side before sitting down on the piano stool. "You underestimate me Sasuke Uchiha'' she smiled in a mock 'posh' tone, looking up at him as she started play some random keys, creating a soft bit of music. ''My granddad taught all his grandchildren to play whenever they stayed when we were little'' she explained.

Sasuke let out a silent exhale of relief, grades meant a lot to him so, he was glad Sakura had some musical ability, unlike Naruto... for his final exam last year, Naruto wrote a 'song' about frogs... he got an F...

"Okay.. good." sasuke muttered, pulling out the book of music he needed and began flicking through it until he found 'Hallelujah' the only song he and Naruto managed to agree on before the Easter holidays... and Naruto only agreed to it because it was on Shrek...

Sasuke put the book in front of Sakura so she could get accustomed to the notes then got out the laptop, plugged in his iPod and a microphone than began fiddling with the software but, didn't turn on the mic yet.

He got a highlighter pen and highlighted the parts on the sheet of printed lyrics in yellow to show Sakura the bits he wanted Sakura to sing... he was still pretty nervous, his hands shaking as he sat beside her and tinkled on the keys.

"Okay... so you just do the scales... like this." He all but whispered, wrapping his arm around her so he could guide her hands to the right notes and got Sakura to play the basic melody... "Ready?" He asked nervously.

Sakura was smiling the whole time, she really liked music and doing this with Sasuke reminded of her of when she was young and running around in a little summery dress at her Grandparents with her cousins, things were always so much easier when you were young of course, the summers were the best. She closed her green eyes and turned her head towards Sasuke, re-opening them to stare up at him as she started playing the keys Sasuke had got her to of her own accord, glancing at him..

Sasuke found his throat going very dry... it might have been the way Sakura was looking at him right now, or maybe nerves he didn't know. Sasuke leaned up and pressed record on the laptop and began to play, moving his hands elegantly up and down on the ivories, sometimes having to lean over to get to lower notes, but he and Sakura didn't get jumbled up, their hands just moved around each other effortlessly.

Sasuke had a bit of a lump in his throat as he started to sing. He had an odd singing voice, it was a cross between rough and low, and sweet and elegant, a bit like Sasuke himself really. He wasn't looking at Sakura at first but when it was her turn to sing he began trailing off and looked up to watch... wetting his own lips.

Sakura had been listening to him sing, a few times she nearly messed up on the piano as she lost herself in his singing voice, she'd never heard it before and her lips were parted as she played the piano, not wanting to mess up at all which she didn't.. she swallowed when it was her turn to sing but took it in her stride, she was pretty confident in anything other than Sasuke Uchiha, he was the one thing that could make her shake and tremble in her shoes, blush, choke up, fall over, everything... Sakura sang in a very typical girl fashion, it was sweet, light but it wasn't horrible and 'ghetto' like a lot of the girls tried to sing like in this school, trying to sound black when they were white to be blunt, it was a very pretty voice and she sang all the lyrics softly with Sasuke, actually enjoying herself.

Sasuke relaxed a little then, the side of his mouth turning up a little as he tried not to smirk and joined in at the chorus, soon they were both belting it out, singing naturally in perfect harmony with each other, hands getting faster on the keys, weaving in and out of each other... it was quite intense actually as the song sped up, their shoulders brushing against each others, hands occasionally grazing on the keys, Sasuke slender but manly ones which were rough from playing so much sports and instruments next to her soft feminine ones, her neatly manicured nails.

Sasuke found himself gazing at Sakura then... she looked so elegant when she sang really... at ease, he was so used to her being this shy quivering, blushing fool around him that he could really appreciate her right now... in fact he found himself leaning closer to her so the lyrics they sang collided in the space between them he could feel her breath on his lips as he sang... his voice becoming a little strained as his stomach did a weird knotting thing that it had never done before..

Sakura had her eyes close as she sang, playing the keys.. she felt really peaceful right now, really at ease...and herself. She kept smiling to herself, completely relaxed into the music, having fun here doing this with Sasuke they'd never have got a chance to do something like this before, she opened her eyes then and the green acorn shaped iris' slid to the side to look at him and widened a little at how close he was, she blushed a little but continued to sing, too happy to become embarrassed right now. When the song was coming to an end, Sakura slowed down her fingers on the keys and withdraw her hands slowly, exhaling softly. "That was really fun..'' she whispered with a smile.

Sasuke did the same and stayed close to her face, letting out a shaky breath. "You#

"You're perfect-..." He whispered, his mind away with the fairies right now until his eyes widened and he realised what he just said, sitting back quickly and looking away. "A-at playing at the piano... you're... really good." He said quickly, glaring down at the keys before getting to his feet and stopping the recording, not bothering to listen to it, he knew how amazing it was and that they'd get an A. He saved the file and secretly put a copy on his iPod too which was plugged in, swiping it and putting it in his bag. "So, we're all done." He muttered, covering up his embarrassing moment in his usual frosty tone, burning a copy of their song onto a CD to hand into the teacher... that was it now, they had all morning to do this and Sasuke and Sakura got it done in about twenty minutes.

Sakura spun around on the piano stool, her hands resting together in her lap as she watched the back of his head. "We should.. sing together again sometime!'' she offered up to him then "that's if you want to, but I really enjoy singing so'' she clapped her hands together and stood up from the stool. "Do you think that'll be okay? you'll pass?'' she asked him with a tilt of her head, looking down at the disc in his hand.

Sasuke blinked at it and nodded a little. "Yeah, I'll pass... well, we'll pass, this is your grade too. Though... Now Naruto won't get a grade." He shrugged, looking at the piano and glaring at it accusingly for making his stomach go weird.

Sasuke closed up the laptop and then took the disc out to the teacher who put it with the others and remarked 'that was quick'

Someone looked up from the song they were writing and said, 'yeah sensei, they probably just recorded themselves fucking!' making Sasuke twitch a little.. why was this school so obsessed with sex...

Kurenai casually gave the girl detention and smiled at Sasuke. "If you and Sakura are finished, you have the rest of the morning off but, use it wisely." She told him with a smile.

Sakura put her bag on her shoulder and got Sasuke's for him, holding him out to him. "What should we do? it's pretty quiet around here without Naruto around.. maybe we should go to the library? I want to do some research on ancient Rome for History, I've never been to the library as Naruto thinks it's the devils room'' she frowned a little with her brow knitting together. "We should study.. then go and sit on the roof with a drink from the machine?'' she decided, Sakura was being much more herself today, calm, relaxed and speaking to Sasuke normally.

Sasuke blinked at Sakura with interest, looking her up and down, she looked so dinky in his hoody... it was really weird, wearing that seemed to be like a cloak of invisibility for Sakura, she was so much more confident, more gutsy... was this the power that dating him would really give her? The boost... it must be really tiring to want someone all the time, but walking around in his hoody seemed to be good enough for Sakura, he simply nodded at her with a smirk and they went to do just that.
