Recap:

"What...oh, you were probably watching the news a week ago. Yea, that was my brother."

This will be my last confession
I love you never felt like any blessing
Whispering like it's a secret
Only to condemn the one who hears it
With a heavy heart
~Heavy in Your Arms~ Florence + The Machine

~O~

Sakura woke up and looked over the clock; she moaned, school was about to let out in thirty minutes. She was sleep all day! She listened around for any sounds of her mother lurking about and heard nothing. Her mom left after her every time she went to school, maybe she just let her sleep in. She yawned and stretched as she struggled to push her body off the bed. As soon as she sat up, she placed a hand gently on her stomach and gave a small smiled. She softly prodded her finger into her stomach. She gasped when she felt it squirm a little; but that proved to be the wrong move when she felt bile raising up in her throat.

She quickly covered her hand over her mouth and ran out her room and into the bathroom; she dropped in front of the toilet and let everything out she ate last night for dinner. After she finish, she pulled down the toilet cover; not wanting to see it and flushed the toilet. She collapsed against the wall holding her stomach. Being pregnant wasn't easy at all.

She sat in silent before blinking her eyes, "I'm hungry." She said. She got up from her position and washed her mouth out. She reached for her washcloth and wet it and washed her face. She looked at herself in the mirror; her hair was a mess and her lips dry and cracked. With a sigh, she licked her lips and...tried to fix her hair; she growled when one of her fingers got caught in a knot. Why did she ever agree to grow her hair long? It always got in the way and it was a pain. She reached up and opened the medicine cabinet and pulled a pair of scissors.

She tied her hair up in a ponytail and cut in half. She pulled her cut hair and dropped in the trash. She placed the scissors down and pulled her now short hair out of its ponytail and it fell right on her shoulders. She felt like she had taken a pound off herself. She then grabbed the brush and brush any loose strands out. She stopped brushing when her eyes zeroed in on her white shirt though the mirror. She swallowed hard keeping the raising bile from escaping when she saw leftovers of her throw up stain on her shirt.

She sat the brush down and walked back into her room and threw the shirt off and walked toward her bureau and took out a long sleeve black shirt. Once she pulled it out, something red fell from it. She down and saw a red ribbon. She furrowed her brow questioningly before picking it up, while examining it, she started to remember; it was what Itachi had given because of how much her hair got in the way; she weakly smiled before tying her now short hair into a ponytail that hanged on the nape of her neck.

She looked at herself in the mirror; its been a week since he had died and its was pretty lonely without him here holding her. She sighed than blushed when she heard her stomach complain about not having any food yet. She sighed before leaving her room and walking into the kitchen pulling out a cup of ramen noodles. As she started the stove, she heard knocking at her door. How could that be, she said to herself. Who every it was was about to be treated like a Jehovah's Witness.

She looked through the peep hole and gasped slightly when she noticed the onyx eyes and the raven hair; Sasuke. She had been avoiding him every since he had told her that Itachi was his brother. Thinking back, it totally shocked her and she didn't know why; the both of them looked strikingly alike that it was obvious that they were related in some way. The next day, she had completely ignored him and pretended like he was just another face in the hallway, but doing that was harder than she thought when she looked at him. When she looked at him and into his eyes, it was like Itachi was standing there.

She opened the door surprisingly fast and stared up at him. He raised a brow before looking over my profile, he smirked before looking down. "You answer the door with only you shirt and underwear?" Sakura's eyes widen in realization and shot her eyes downward then back up at him to see his amused stare. She blushed heavily when she also noticed she had the door wide open for the world to see. As a car drove by, it honked; obviously that it was a male driving the car and he liked what he saw.

She quickly grabbed Sasuke and pulled him inside her house and slammed the door shut. She turned to him; her face flushed with embarrassment, "What are you doing here?" She gritted through her teeth angrily. She watched as he closed his eyes then opened them back up half-lidded filled with desire. He took a step toward, while she took a step back and cursed when she felt her back hit the door.

He stood in front of her body; little too close for her liking. He leaned down into her ear, "I came to give you...," he said hotly into her ear. She blushed and bit her lip. He sounded just like Itachi when he back her into a corner. He suddenly pulled away and held a bag that she could tell that was filled up with books. She looked at him confusingly before he smiled, "The work you missed today and your homework." He dropped the heavy bag in her arms. She dropped her shoulders and pouted, "Ah man, homework." She murmured quietly.

"Was you expecting something else?" She glared at him when he pulled out the husky, seductive voice he did before he dropped the bomb on her. Her attention was then brought to the loud whistling that came from the kitchen. She dropped the bag on the floor; oblivious that she had dropped it on his foot and he was currently letting out a string of profanities.

She rushed into the kitchen and turned the stove off. She picked up the kettle and poured the hot water into her ramen. While pouring, she heard heavy male footsteps walking into the kitchen. She looked over her shoulder and frowned, "Don't you suppose to be leaving, you gave me what you came for, right?"

He leaned against the counter, "No, I didn't give you what I really wanted to give you and also Kurenai told me to help you with the new subject in Calculus." She place the kettle back down on the stove and turned to him and place one hand on her hip, "And what is that?" She said.

"Which one: the first part or the second part of what I said?"

"The first part." Sasuke smirked, hoping that she would say that. He stepped toward her; this time Sakura stood her ground and glared at him. But then it changed when he grabbed her by her shoulder and kissed her full on. Her eyes widen; he was kissing her. After about a few seconds, Sakura pushed him off and placed her finger to her lips softly. She looked at Sasuke, "Why did you do that?" She asked.

A smirk came to his lips, "Because I wanted to and I kind of enjoyed it, did you?"

"You fucking asshole!" She said before punching him in face. HARD. He grunted out in pain as he flew into the wall with a impact that knocked the very breath out of him. He held his bruised cheek and looked up at her irritated.

"What's your deal? Its just a kiss." He said nonchalantly. She growled, "I don't care, you don't just kiss me, you bastard!" He smirked before moving his hand away from his face.

"Did you like it?" He said. She blushed and slowly back away two steps.

Damn! She did like it, but she wasn't about to admit it to him.

"No..." She said sounding very unsure of herself. He chuckled before standing up.

"Your eyes and face is telling me different, Sa-ku-ra." He said taking steps toward her. Her blush darken as he approached her. What was she to do now? She was sure if he'd try to kiss her again, she would surely give in. She closed her eyes and prayed that he would back away. "Itachi, help me get away from your horny brother!"

Sasuke smirk widened when he saw her close eyes. He then began noticed some things about her. She had cut her hair, "You cut your hair," He said. She opened her eyes and stared up at him, "I prefer longer hair but with you, I'm willingly able to make a exception."

His eyes continued down her body and his eyes stopped at her stomach. He furrowed his eyes a bit, "A bit chubby, are we? Slow down on the carbs." She smacked him but this time a bit softer, only knocking his head to the side.

"I'm not fat you idiot! I'm just..." She paused, trying to think of a excuse.

Sasuke frowned before backing away from her, "Oh...its that time of the month and you're fluctuating, which it making you bloated," Her mouth fell open. He sighed before running a hand through his hair, "I should of expected that, you weren't in school today and, no offense, you're acting pretty bitchy." She blushed in anger before sighing.

"Yea, I am on my period." She lied knowing she hadn't had one in three months.

"And that's why you haven't talk to me after I mentioned that Itachi was my brother." She froze, "Sakura, I'm not stupid, what is it? Did you know him?" She looked down at her feet. What was she to say? That she dated his brother before he died. "Well?"

"Um..." She said, nervously. Should she just tell the truth. "Itachi...was my...friend and," She felt tears prick at her eyes, "I...miss him so much!" She said collapsing to her knees. Sasuke stared down at her shocked. He didn't what to say. He feel in front of her and pulled her into his chest, letting her cry in his chest. For some reason, he couldn't believe both her and Itachi were just friends.

Friends don't cry over other friends like this, not this hard.
