Hey sorry for this chapter being so short. Hope you like it.

For the remainder of the school day Sakura tried to keep her thoughts away from the raven haired vampire. And so far that seemed to be working ok. He seemed to be preoccupied with other things. Sure she didn't know what those other things were, but as long as they didn't involve her she was perfectly alright with them.

But what did get her uptight was the fact that Kiba seemed to have a real problem with him being here. Ever since biology class he had remained to be snappy and on edge unlike his usual happy-go-lucky self. Heck even Akamaru seemed to growl at every surprise sound! It was worrying her, but she didn't want to ask in case it angered him more. She was concerned for him. This was first time she had seen him like this. Usually when he was mad he would just get over it quickly or try to not think about the cause of his anger. But this was different. And she didn't know why.

Sakura had never felt so grateful about the bell signalling the end of the school. And by the looks of how Kiba nearly ran from his seat, he felt the same way. She speed walked to her locker and quickly retrieved her bag and skateboard. For once she did not wait for Tenten as she went home. She knew Tenten was probably doing the same. Even if they were going to try to not let the set of vampires get to them they were still going to precautious.

She was just about to get on her skateboard when an arm sneaked around her waist and quickly pulled her back to a shaded area behind the school. "Miss me?"

Sakura's breath hitched when she heard his voice. Her body froze. This was the moment she had been dreading ever since she had escaped from him. "What do you think Sasuke? Actually, no, don't answer that. You know perfectly well that I have not missed you in the least bit. Now let me go."

She could hear him chuckle and the grip he had on her waist tightened. "Now why would I do that Sa-ku-ra? I rather like the position we're in."

"The feeling is not mutual. So. Get. Off." She demanded, trying to force herself away from his grip. However her struggles proved to be unsuccessful as he kept his arm around her waist.

"Let her go Uchiha." Kiba's voice sounded deadly.

Fortunately for Sakura, Sasuke's focus was no longer on her, allowing her to push free of his grasp on her. "Sakura, go." Kiba commanded in a voice that left no room for anything close to argument. Sakura nodded and quickly left the scene.

Sakura went back on her skateboard as fast as she possibly could. The scene that had just taken place kept running through her mind. What really confused her was how Kiba acted. Even though he had acknowledged her, almost his entire focus had been directed towards Sasuke. What was that about? How did they know each other?

She nearly had a heart attack when Tenten came through the door. She yelped and fell backwards against the stairs. "Oh," she staggered back up to her feet. "It's just you."

"Although I feel somewhat insulted, yes it is "just me"." Tenten replied, putting her skateboard down by the door. "So how did today go?" Sakura looked down at the ground and shivered in remembrance. "Sorry," Tenten quickly said, "Just thought I should get it over with now."

Sakura sighed. "Good idea." And then she told her friend just what had taken place during the day. By the time she finished she was shaking. It was harder to explain then she had previously suspected.

"Ouch." Tenten commented, she was now seated beside Sakura. "You shouldn't allow him to make you act like this. I mean you look at you, your shaking for gosh sakes! He's not worth it, so stop letting him affect you like that." Tenten was not very good at comforting people.

Sakura sighed and leaned back against the stair case. "I guess you're right. So how did things go with girly man?"

It was Tenten's turn to groan. "Well, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I thought he was going to act way different. I mean, he kept his distance from me and always seem to keep this smirk on his face. Like he was toying with me or something. It was just plain weird."

"It does sound odd." Sakura agreed. "Maybe he's planning something."

"Possibly, I really don't know what to think about it," Tenten huffed. With that, the tomboy stood up and marched outside. "And right now I really don't want to think about it. I'm going outside for a run to clear my head."

Sakura watched Tenten leave, and then stared at the door for a few minutes. What to do now...She went up the stairs to the kitchen and made a milk shake. With the shake in hand she went over to the living room, sat down on the couch, and turned on the TV with the remote. She flipped through the channels until she found a game show she liked and sipped the shake as she watched it.

As the game show went on commercials, Sakura thought about her school work. She didn't remember having any homework; she had finished it all in between classes and breaks. And she didn't have to work today. That meant she could be lazy for the rest of the day. A small smile appeared on her face. She loved being lazy.

The sound of knocking on the door made Sakura jump up from her seat, causing the contents of the half finished shake to spill over onto the couch. She groaned, she was going to have to clean that up. She glanced over to the direction of the door. Tenten would have just walked in. Who was there? Maybe she should just ignore it. But whoever was at the door was persistent, and the knocking (or what sounded more like banging) on the door was getting more frequent.

Slowly, she gathered up her strength and went to go answer the door. Before she opened it she took a deep breath, and then opened the door. A sigh of relief escaped her when she saw that it was Kiba. But he didn't look so happy to see her. In fact he looked like he was trying hard to calm himself down after being thoroughly pissed off. What was wrong with him? She was really confused. "Hey," she told him, stepping aside to let him walk in.

He stepped inside, then turned, shut the door, and looked at her. "What is your connection to Sasuke?" He asked, his eyes glued to her.

Her eyes widened and a small gasp escaped from her throat. She should have been prepared for a question like that. But she wasn't. What could she tell him? He wouldn't believe the truth; heck if she hadn't lived through it she probably wouldn't have even believed it. But he had seen the way Sasuke acted towards her before; he knew there was something between them. She sighed and looked at him with sorry eyes. "I really want to tell you," she began, "But I highly doubt you'd believe me."

So before you ask, no Sasuke did not tell Kiba about his past "relationship" with Sakura. The issues between Kiba and Sasuke will be explained in the following chapter. Please review.
