Hey all! Here I am, presenting to you the next chapter! Nothing much to say, so have fun reading. Please leave a comment after.

Disclaimer: If I owned Naruto, I would probably make Sakura the main character. XD Or not, since Naruto is also really awesome.

Chapter 3

That lousy, idiotic, stupid, retarded, mean, jerkish, self-centered, brash, and overall completely imprudent son of a–

Okay, watch your language here, Sakura.

Female dog. There you go.

. . . But that would also be an insult to dogs.

Over the past few weeks, I, being the incredibly awesome person that I am, tolerated his behavior towards me, even though I was the one who got him his food, washed him, and practically acted as his mother. Yet, after all the good things I've done for him, he still treats me like trash or his moral enemy, glaring at me once I stepped into his room.

But, come to think of it, he does that to everyone else, too. Even Naruto, who claimed to be his best buddy -but of course, who would actually believe him?-, and sent him tomatoes every time he visited. Apparently, Uchiha -I am never calling him 'Sasuke', never, until I die- loved tomatoes, and he ate them the way I eat my sweets. And trust me, I am obsessed with those sugars, even though I knew they were really bad for your teeth and health.

How can he be such a jerk? I mean, sure, I knew I was the one who ran over him and put him into this situation, but he didn't have to act the way he was acting now. That's just–I mean–ugh! I couldn't use a word; it's just elusive.

There were so many times when I wanted to punch him into oblivion. Cha!

Ino, Hinata and Tenten even came to visit him once (notice that I used the word 'once'), bringing him new flowers, their brilliant smiles, and even some tomatoes (they listened to Naruto, yet they don't listen to me when I warned them not to come?)! Uchiha -being the donkey that he was- glared at them, 'Hn'ed, and pushed the bag of tomatoes forcefully while Hinata was holding them, causing her to drop it. In the end, it resulted on Hinata crying, Tenten fuming and wanting to throw a bunch of swear words at him, and Ino dragging them out of the room while giving me a sympathetic smile. Needless to say, it was one of the worst days for me, seeing my friends going through all that. It had been hell.

Yet, somehow, I never brought up the courage to actually yell at him.

"I agree, he has issues," Ino said to me as the four of us sat under a cherry-blossom tree. Hinata was silent by my side while Tenten was throwing a fit of inappropriate words across from me -and, woah, where did she learn that word?-; but Ino seemed unfeigned -or she gave up on telling her to shut up- as she continued to eat her lunch. I couldn't eat, since I was trying to stop myself from yelling like Tenten, as well.

"Stop being so nice to him," Tenten finally said, after she took a deep breath from all that swearing. "He doesn't deserve it. Hit him with a hammer if you have to, just don't let him think it's alright to do what he's doing."

"I agree," Ino said again, looking at me with the one eye that wasn't covered with her bangs, "don't raise his ego, seeing that it's already big enough. Feed him his own medicine; that almost always works on people like him."

"Trust me, if I could, I would. It's just," I sighed and flipped my bangs out of my face, "I dunno, I never got the guts to do it, yet."

"Yeah, well, make up your mind soon, Sakura," Ino continued, taking a huge bite out of her sandwich -which did not look good on a girl like her, I might add-. "Once you have the guts to yell at him and tell him to stop the hell on what he's doing right now, we'll be here to welcome you with open arms and big, fat, wet kisses."

I made a face, "That's disturbing, Ino."

She gave me a creepy smile. "I know."

"And why can't you guys come with me?" I pushed, then paused and took a small glance at Hinata beside me. She lifted her head up at my silence, then smiled softly. I immediately felt guilty at asking. "Sorry, Hinata."

"Don't be," she said softly, setting her water down. "But now that you realized, could you. . .?"

I nodded as hard as I could, "Yes, I'll do it myself. I mean, after all, I was the one who ran over his ugly face."

Ino's intense stare made me turn my head to her. "What?" I snapped.

She looked at me for another few seconds, then she shrugged. "I dunno," she paused to take another bite. "I mean, jerk or no jerk," she gulped, "he's still really hot."

Tenten and I spent the next few minutes gaping, protesting and yelling at her.

You know, I've always imagined my heart thumping so hard because I found my other half, or something, not because I was scared to death of meeting one of the biggest jerks known to the Earth. It was sad, really, it's just sad.

I took a deep breath as I stood outside his door, a box of fresh fruits and a few potatoes in hand.

He heard me as I came in, I knew, but his face did not show it. Walking further into the room, I placed the box on the table near his bed and took a vase of wilting flowers from it, avoiding his face all the way. He was reading a book, his bangs almost covering his eyes, and was still expressionless when I paused to look at him from the side of his bed. I held the vase to my chest, just like I did weeks ago when I first met him.

"U-Uchiha-san," I said, my inner self cursed at my stuttering, "how are you feeling today?"

Once again, he ignored me, continuing to glue his eyes onto his book. I felt my neck flush.

"I'll wash you some tomatoes after this. Is there anything else you need?"

He was still quiet, and I resisted the urge to either sigh and walk away or walk up to him and beat the crap out of him. I actually felt torn.

Sadly enough, my body made the decision to go to the restroom and wash the vase out.

I turned towards the door, only to pause when a nurse entered, looking shyly at us. Behind her incredibly large glasses, she looked very young, probably not too much older than me. She nodded to me as I passed by her to exit through the door. "Uchiha-san," I had heard her say softly, "I'm here for your checkup."

I paused at the door to hear his reaction.

The first few minutes were silent, then I heard a small shifting of fabric, and I assumed that he had sat up straight in his bed. I took a small step out of the door and closed it halfway behind me as I turned, taking a small glance at him on the bed. He wasn't looking at the nurse, but at me, and I quickly retreated and closed the door.

It was only a few steps away that the door suddenly burst open behind me and the nurse ran out, clutching a clipboard I hadn't notice she held before close to her chest. A small sob escaped from her and I immediately touched her shoulder before she would disappear. She turned to me, startled, and eyes watery.

"Are you alright?" I asked, which was a dumb question even though she nodded and wiped her eyes. "What did he say? How mean was he?"

She looked at me with light sapphire eyes, slightly frightened, and sniffed as she wiped her eyes again. "H-he, he asked me, w-what was the point of d-doing such pointless actions, especially when done by p-pointless people." Ouch, wow, that's just too harsh. She sniffed again and tried to stifle a sob, shoulders shaking underneath my hand. "I'm not pointless! Or-or useless!" she suddenly exclaimed, eyes widening as they semi-pleaded me. "I just work here to pay off my college. . ."

I smiled softly at her and rubbed her arm comfortingly, feeling so much pity on her. That idiot, what right does he have to say that to someone who's never done a thing to him?

"It's alright, I know you're not," I said, shaking my head as I reassured her. "I'll go talk to him; he needs counseling."

Her eyes widened again at me, only in slight shock, this time. "You would?"

I immediately tensed, knowing the answer was most likely-

Well, actually, probably-

Okay, fine, not yes.

Geesh, are people really this persistent these days?

. . . No, it's just you, Sakura. And stop arguing with yourself; you're acting like a complete idiot.

"I'll, um, try," I managed to croak out, smiling apologetically. She seemed to have understood and nodded disappointedly. "But I'll still try, even just a little." I added.

She nodded again, smiled softly, bowed, and walked away.

I sighed to myself, the vase still in my arms. Then I heard a soft beeping through his door, and turned my head towards the sound curiously. It stopped a moment after, only to replaced by muffled words inside the room. Curiosity reached its peek, and I immediately walked back to the door and stuck my ear up against it.

"Yes, Suigetsu, I'm still in the hospital," I heard his faint voice speak into, I'm assuming, his phone. This was actually the first time I heard him say an actual sentence. Wow. "I'll be out by next week, after I get out of this damn hell hole." He paused, listening to his phone. "No, she left a few minutes ago." Another pause. "What's the point? The hospital is stupid, anyways. I also don't want an idiot doing checkups on me." Oh, ouch. Ouch. You're the idiot here! "They call themselves nurses, yet they don't even know how to take me outside." Well, that's because you don't let them! "Doctors are stupid, I would've never come to the hospital if I didn't need to. But because of her-" I took a sharp breath at about what he may say next, but he didn't, and was silent for another few moments. "School? I don't care about school. There's even more idiots, there."

. . . Is the world just a place for idiots to you?

"I don't care," he repeated, but probably answering another question. "They could corrupt for all I care, or find someone else to do it." Corrupt? What corrupt? "This world is just full of idiots," well, that answers that question, "and if everyone can just leave me the hell alone. . ." one more pause, and I heard one humorless laugh from him, "they can die. They can all die in this fucking world. Maybe I'll go back, but I'll just send them to hell if they get in my way. They don't deserve to live, anyway."

. . . Okay, I don't exactly care about who he was talking about, but that was just it.

Before I myself knew it, I barged through the door, and it slammed against the wall with great force. He looked at me, phone in hand and eyes just slightly wide, showing a little emotion that he never had before. I was fuming, and the vase had dropped out from my hand, landing on the floor with a small clank as water spilt out and the flower fell. Thank god the vase was plastic.

It wasn't long before the emotion left his eyes, and he glared back at me with mutual force.

"You, are one sick person," I growled at him, fists clenching beside my body, "I don't care who the hell you were talking about, and I don't care how miserable you think your life is, but you know what? You're the one doing all that! You're making yourself feel worse by making others feel that way. You're the idiot here." I took a breath to calm myself down, but it didn't work, and I didn't mind that time. "Do you know how much time the doctors and nurses spent on you to help you recover? Do you know how much effort they put into it? How can you blame them for doing things they didn't do because you didn't let them? How are they the idiots here? You're an idiot for even thinking that they are idiots! Well, you know what? I'm tired of your idiocy and stupid remarks about people who care about you in life, one that actually included me since I put so much thought in taking care of you these weeks. You could die for all I care. Save yourself some energy from all that swearing, because when you throw them out, I'll be the one catching them back, and I dump them back on you again." I turned abruptly and held the doorknob, waiting to leave the room. Then I turned back to him again. His expression was unreadable. "By the way," I sneered, "don't eat what's inside that box. It's poisoned with kindness."

Then I stepped out into the hallway, and slammed the door in front of me.

He never spoke a word through the whole thing.

FINALLY! This is the kind of Sakura I would love. I mean, she's sorta done that to other people, but she never did it to Sasuke before. And Sasuke, being the usual jerk that he is, deserves to be yelled at. Don't get me wrong, I love Sasuke, but he can be really stupid sometimes. And now that he's known her better, maybe his attitude would change a little?

Anyways, this time, could you please al leave a review? As I said before, I don't wanna be pushy or sound desperate, but still, is leaving a comment that hard?
