The Next Morning:
Sakura woke up and greeted the day, she sat up on her bed and stretched her arms over her head as she let out a deep yawn. She tiredly got up from the bed and dragged her legs to the closet. She knew all to well that today was the day for her to find a place to live if she didn't want to move with her parents to America.
"I"m doing this so I can return a favor back to Uchiha-san for giving me the book." She suddenly shouted to herself as she forced the last urge to go back to sleep away.
"Is that the only reason?" Her Inner self said with a slight smirk.
Sakura slightly blushed at her inner self's comment. "Not really, I also wouldn't mind hanging out with him, Uh...I mean, Since we like the same author and all, Uh...blush we could talk about his next book or something like that."
"Sure, keep telling yourself that." Her inner self snickered and then disappeared. Sakura let out a deep sigh as she grabbed her clothes and a towel and headed to the bathroom where she got dressed and headed down to the kitchen where she had a quick breakfast and headed out the door.
Fortunately for Sakura, she didn't live that far from her school, in fact, she was within walking distance. It was a beautiful day to walk so she decided to leave her car behind and just walk to school, it was only a half an hour by foot anyway, and she wanted to enjoy the fresh morning sun.
she walked into town and looked at all the shops on the way to school, she was about a block away when she notice the bookstore that she normally goes to had a help wanted sign on it. She paused as she walked closer to the glass door enterince and stared blankly at the sign.
"Please tell me I'm not dreaming here, I need a job to support myself if I stay here, this could actually be my meal ticket!! hehehehehe!!!" She snickered to herself with an anime chibi smile.
"Hey! Are you going to stand there all day? If you got nothing to do then move, you're in my way" A deep voice said directly behind her, obviously annoyed with her.
Sakura's voice was caught in her throat, a deep blush appeared on her face as she turned around to be met with a pair of very annoyed onyx eyes. Her eyes slightly widen as the bright sunshine seem to illuminate behind him making him appear almost angelic although his attitude was a far cry from being so.
His eyes narrowed at her with annoyance as his rough onyx eyes seem to burn right though her delicate emerald ones. They stood there for what seemed like forever. She couldn't shake the feeling that he looks an awful lot like...
"I-Itachi-san." She said in an unsure voice as she looked at the young man in front of her.
Upon hearing that name, his eyes became more confused, but he still gave the same look, but this time he gave her a raised eyebrow.
"How do you know that name?" He demanded more then actually asked her. Sakura after hearing his attitude towards her, soon realized that he was indeed not her sweet and charming Itachi, but if he's not him then...
"Who are you?" She asked him as she tilted her head to the side and gave him a puzzled look.
"Pff! Don't you know it's rude to ask a question to an unanswered one?" He said as he crossed his arms. "Answer my question and I'll answer yours, IF I feel like it."
Sakura then narrowed her eyes and had only one thought in mind of this guy, 'Jerk'
"Fine" She said as she too crossed her arms in front of him. "I've met a man by the name of Uchiha Itachi, yesterday afternoon in the park. He gave me a book and I want to return a favor to him." She said bluntly.
The young man just gave her a plain look and raised an eyebrow. "That's it? Somehow I thought there would be more to it then that. Anyway, at lest I know where he went to for so long." he said more to himself then to her.
Sakura gave a puzzled look at the young man. "Do you know him then?"
He gave her a smirk as he continued to look at her. "Does it look like I would know him?"
"Well, I don't know, there are a lot of people in the world who look alike but aren't related, so hell if I know! That's why I'm asking you, damn Jerk!!" She said as the last bit of her patience left her, and it was a big deal if that happened. Sakura was well-known by her friends of being mild-temper and very slow to anger, but this guy! He was a world class jerk!
His eyes slightly narrowed when he heard what she called him, he gave her an indifferent look and quickly took his thumb and index finger and clamped her lips shut. "Little girls shouldn't be speaking so harshly in public." he said with an indifferent look on his face.
Sakura immediately began to fail her arms around trying her best to swat his hand off of her mouth. She mumbled a few words that should not be mention, since I'm trying to keep it PG here. After a few more seconds he finally released her as she swat his arm away form her and once again crossed them.
"What the hecks your problem?" She said as she began to breath heavily from what he did before.
"You should learn better manners when talking to strangers, little girl." He said bluntly.
"Hey! Two things, one stop calling me little girl, I have you know I'm 19 years old and in collage! And two, you still didn't answer my question, who the heck are you?" Sakrua asked
"Well, I would think it was obvious who I was...Miss collage student." He said with a smirk.
"Oh and whose that?" She retorted
"His brother." He said bluntly
Her eyes widen when she heard him said that. "No way, your Itachi-san's brother?" She asked in awe.
"Yes" His said bluntly.
She gave him a hard look up and down and she was about to say something, when all of a sudden the door to the book store flew open, resulting in Sakura about to fell hard to the conceit floor, she closed her eyes and waited for the impact, however it never came, instead she felt her body on top of some thing that felt rather soft and also something around her. She could hear a voice form behind her apologizing a million times about what had happened and asking if she was alright.
She picked up her head and told the person that she was fine, she then opened her eyes only to be met with what looked like a piece of fabric, as she lifted her head higher she soon notice the white T-shirt and Navy blue dress shirt of that guy. He wasn't moving and his eyes were closed, her eyes widen when the realization that he actually protected her.
she looked at him with worried filled eyes. "Are you okay?" she asked with concern in her voice.
"I will be once you get off me, you're a lot heavier then you look." he said as he gave a grunt. Sakura's left eye twitched at the comment and she was about to say something until he began to sit up. Her eyes widen in surprise and her face turned a light shade of red as they faces were only a few inches away form one another. She was completely taken away by his eyes.
"What's the matter? Am I that good looking that you actually lost your words?" He asked with a slight smirk in his voice. Her face blushed more as she quickly stood up and turned her face from him.
"No, I don't think your good looking at all, you're more of a jerk then anything else. Besides, who told you to do that?" She said with an annoyed pout as she caressed her arms.
"Ahh, so this is how you treat someone who just helped you out, huh?"
"Well I never asked you to."
"Whoever told you that it was ok to stand in front of an active doorway and not get hurt was obviously lying to you. You would think for someone who is 19 years old and a collage student, they would figure something like that out." He smirked as they both stood up. Sakura was about to say something to him until he cut her off.
"There's no need to thank me, later careless little girl." he said as he walked in the store and left Sakura outside with a shock look on her face.
"This guy, there's no way he could be Itachi-san's Otoru, he's a compete jerk, but.." She paused for a moment and felt her still red cheeks...'if so, then my am I still blushing?' she quickly shook the thought out of her head.
"I wonder what time it is?" she wondered to herself as she gazed at the sky.
"It's 12:30pm." A deep voice said from behind her. She let out a small gasp as she quickly turned around and saw the same guy that helped her before. He had a smirk on his face as he peeked out of the door of the book store. She felt her teeth gritted as she turned to him.
"What do you want?" she asked him with an indifferent look.
"Sasuke" He said plainly
"What?" She gave him a raised eyebrow
"My name." He said again plainly "It's Sasuke."
"Sasuke?" She repeated in puzzlement. "Why are you telling me your name?"
"I just wanted you to remember who saved you form near death, that way you could tell all your girlfriends about the ultra hot guy that saved you due to your stupidity." He said with a smirk.
"Why you." She said with a peeved look on her face.
"Later, little girl with overly dyed hair." He said as he walked back into the store laughing his head off.
"You jerk, this is my natural hair color." she said though closed teeth. "Agh, I don't have time for this I'm going to be late, if I don't hurry." and with that she ran at high speed the rest of the way to her school.
At the dormitory main office
Sakrua walked in and was welcome by the front desk. She had just signed in was siting in the small waiting room for her name to be called.
"Haruno Sakura" she heard a voice call her.
"coming" She said as she walked up to the front desk. There she saw a young woman who appeared to be in her mid to late 20's, she had shoulder length dull back hair and black eyes. She seemed to be shy at first but not really after awhile.
"Haruno-san, she will see you now in the office." She said politely
"Thank you." Sakura said as she made her way down the hallway to the office of the head dorms manger. She knocked on the closed door first.
"Come in" said the voice from behind the door. Sakura opened the door and walked in.
"Have a seat, Sakura." Tsunami said polity
"Thank you." She said as she took her seat on one of the chairs in front of the Brown hair and green eyed woman.
"What can I do for you?" She asked
"Well, Sensei, I was wondering if it's not too late if there is anymore rooms available in the girls dormitory." She said with hope in her eyes.
Tsunami gave her a plan look. "you know that the deadline for new rooms has ended months ago Sakura."
"Yes, I'm aware of that Sensei," she was but was cut off
"Also, I have it in my records that you live within the compounds of the schools limit and do not require housing." she added.
"Well, that's the problem Sensei." Sakura said
"Well, then please do tell me." She said placing her folding hands on top of the desk.
"My parents are planing to move to America in a few days and they said that I could stay here if I had a room in the dorms."
"Well, I don't see the problem in going to the states, it's a wonderful place there and full of adventure for a young person." She said with a smile.
"Sensei, I don't wish to go, there is something very important here that I want to find."
"Well, you seem to be in both good luck and bad luck." She said plainly
"What do you mean?"
"Well, about three minutes ago I just got a phone call from one of the girls that had a room here. She had just called to cancel, it turns out that she is also moving and she wanted to let me know before the term begins."
"Well, that's great Sensei!" Sakrua said happily
"That would be the good news for you, now here comes the bad news." She continued in a serious tone
"What do you mean, Sensei?" Sakura asked as she tilted her head slightly in confusion.
"There is a waiting list of over 20 other girls who are waiting for a room and your name is not on the list, so unless you have a very good reason, other then the usual "I just don't to go" excuse, then your request for a room is denied."
Sakura looked down at her lap and her eyes became soft. "There is Sensei, there is a very good reason."
"Then lets hear it." She said as she waited for her to tell her
"I know that it's sudden, but I meant a man yesterday, a beautiful man, he was gently and kind and we talked about books the whole time. He gave me his book as a gift for a wonderful afternoon, he said that he hopes that we could meet again." she paused for a moment and then continued. "Sensei, I'm not the kind of person, who likes to receive things for nothing, I want to repay him for his kindness towards me...and also...deep in my heart, I truly want to see him again and spend more time with him. I feel that my heart won't be satisfied with just a hello on the telephone and a simple letter from him. I want to stay by his side as long as I can...that's what I truly feel."
"So, you're telling me, that you love this guy just after one day of talking with him in the park?" Tsunami said with an arched eyebrow as she rested her chin on top of her folded hands.
"Yes, I know it sounds weird, but I just can't let the thought of him not being around me go." Sakura said as she gave her hopeful eyes
"You know there is a chance that he is with someone, and that he won't be able to return your feelings?" She added with a serious tone
"Yes, I'm aware of that." She said as she lower her head and stared at her lap.
"You could wind up getting hurt and causing more pain to yourself by staying."
"I know"
"And you're still willing to make that choice?"
"Yes."
A smile slowly came across the woman's face. After a short pause, she nodded her head. "Well done."
"Huh?" Sakura gasped in surprise from the unexpected response. Her eyes widen slight as she waited for the lady to continue.
"That's exactly what I want to hear, I'll make the preparations, just make sure you report to the front desk at 10:00am tomorrow morning to get your keys and room number." She said as she stood up and walked around the desk to stand in front of Sakura.
"Sensei?" She asked in complete disbelief. She stared up blankly at the dorm manger...somehow she felt as if there were a catch somewhere. Tsunami read the expression on her face and laughed heartily.
"I know how you feel, I did the same too, when I was about your age." She said after her laughter died down a bit.
"And how did it go?" Sakura asked, interested in learning the answer.
She smiled and held up her left hand with a ring on it. "We'll be married 10 years on the 16th of next mouth."
Sakura smiled. "Thanks for your help Sensei." She stood up and bowed respectfully before turning to leave the room.
"Sure just promise me one thing." She said, thus stopping Sakura in her tracks.
"Sure anything." Sakura said as she turned to face the woman.
"Tell me all the details as they progress ok." She said with a warm smile.
"Hai" Sakrua said with a smile. "Ja Ne Sensei" She said as she took her things and left the office and walked out of the school.
On her way back home she passed the bookstore where she met Sasuke earlier. She noticed that the for help sign was still up and decided to walk in. as she walked in she saw the front desk and asked for an application. She took it and a pen and immediately began to fill it out. When she was done, she walked back to the front desk.
"Thanks for the pen." she said to one of the cashiers
"Your welcome, um..the manger is here and available right now, would you like me to let him know that you would like an interview.
Sakrua thought about it. "Sure, why not?" Sakura said with a smile.
The cashier then nodded as he turned around and walked towards the back room. About a few minutes later he returned.
"The manger said that he will be with you shortly." He said as he walked back to the front desk. "In the mean time please take a seat." He said pointing to a few arms chairs surrounding the desk.
"Thank you." Sakura said politely as she walked over to a random chair to sit down.
The whole process didn't last as long as she thought it would. As Sakura walked out of the bookstore she was tickled pink. She now had a job and a place to stay, 'just wait until I tell mom and dad about this!' She thought excitingly to herself. She was heading towards the crosswalk and was so into her own thoughts that she didn't notice that her light her flashing red. She was in the middle of the road when she heard someone call out to her.
"LOOK OUT!!!" the person screamed. That snapped Sakrua out of her daze long enough to see a car heading right towards her with it's horn blazing and showing no signs of stopping. Sakura was taken over by so much fear that her body froze in their tracks. Her mind screamed at her to move before it was too late but nothing, she couldn't move a muscle, her body stopped.
"WATCH OUT!!!" the person screamed again as they ran to Sakura's aid. She couldn't hear the person's cries as all she saw was the highlights of the car, the next moment was a blur to her as she felt a body hit her from the side and her body entangled in their own as they both tumble over to the other side of the street.
For the second time that day Sakura found herself wrapped side in someone's arms, only this time it wasn't Sasuke and she was the one that was one the bottom, feeling this person's much larger frame on top of her petite one. She kept her eyes close until she heard the person's voice call to her with concern.
"Are you alright miss? Are you hurt in anyway?" their deep voice asked
"I'm fine, thank you. I'm-" She paused as she opened her eyes and blushed as all she could see was their sapphire eyes looking back at her.
"It's just one of those days, huh?" He said as he gave her a foxy smile.
