DISCLAIMER: I do not own Naruto (Masashi Kishimoto). I only own some of the story plot and any further changes about the characters.

Chapter 4 and here it is! :)


Previously―

"O-oh.. I see," Sakura closed her eyes.

Shizune nodded and continued her work.

'Why don't you just forget about him. Move on. Why don't you try dating with Deidara for once? I'm sure he'll take good care of you..'

'Um.. I think he's one of the Akatsuki. Deidara, if I could recall his name.'

'Then who? Oh no don't tell me it's my loud, proud and annoying brother!'

Those words kept on echoing in her mind.

'Deidara...' she said to herself in a whisper while she went into a deep slumber.


Sakura awoke just to find herself lying on a bed in her room. Her room. Confusing as it is, she pushed herself up to scan everything around her. The door opened. Sasori was behind it carrying a tray of food and a glass of water.

"Oh, you're awake. Glad to see you finally open your eyes," he said as he puts down the tray near Sakura and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"How are you feeling?" he continued.

"Fine. I guess," she mumbled.

"Eat. You haven't eat since class ended today," the red head offers her the food that he had prepared for her earlier.

Sakura didn't respond. She just stared at the tray.

".. or you want me to feed you?"

"N-no.. I'm just wondering," she finally talked.

"What is it?"

"What happened to me? How can I ended up in the hospital wing? And then in my own room?"

Sasori sighed.

"You really don't remember, do you?"

Sakura looked at her step-brother, confused.

"Well then..." he began.


Flashback

As Sakura joined Ino and the others, a man with a bushy brows and a shiny bowl haircut wearing a green jumpsuit entered the gym.

"Alright my youthful students! It is time for your youthful exercise! But, first of all, let me introduce myself. I am Might Guy, Konoha High's youthful noble gentleman and your PE class teacher. Juniors, that is," he said with his nice guy pose.

On the other side of the hall, Hidan was seriously trying to hold his laughter.

"Damn, this guy's weird. Look at him. Where did he get that ugly looking haircut?"

"We're lucky that he won't be our PE class teacher. Now shut up before I cut your tongue into pieces, Hidan," Kakuzu responded to the fuchsia eyed male.

"So, who do you think will be our class teacher, yeah?" Deidara asked Sasori.

Guy seemed to heard Deidara's question and he looked at the seniors' side.

"As for you, my youthful seniors, your PE class teacher is none other than"

"Mitarashi Anko!" yelled out another female as she made her grand entrance.

The seniors were surprised and not that happy surprised, but surprised in horror.

"S-she's.. our class t-teacher?" Hidan backs off a bit, looking at her in horror.

Guy nodded.

"As for you crybabies, today we're going to play a little game called"

She untied the net from the balls and picked one of it and held it high.

"Dodgeball," she smirked.

"Guy, would you mind explaining to them for awhile?" Anko asked the bushy brows male.

Guy nodded again.

"Juniors and seniors are to be teamed up and fight against each other. For team A, the captain will be Nara Shikamaru,"

Shikamaru sighed heavily when he heard his name was assigned to be the team's captain.

"... and for team B, yours will be Uchiha Itachi. Each team will consist of 8 players, having at least 2 or 3 girls in it. So, both captain, choose your youthful warriors carefully," he continued on.

Hearing his cue, Shikamaru called out the names.

"Yamanaka Ino,"

Ino was shocked in hearing her name.

"Y-you can't be serious?"

"Yes. I don't want to be the only one who's miserable here, Ino," he smirked lazily.

Ino had to agree with him and went to his side.

"Hoshigaki Kisame," called out the Uchiha prodigy.

"Rock Lee," Shikamaru continued on.

"Hidan," Itachi continued.

"Hyuuga Neji,"

"Shikamaru, you better take the Uchiha for your team as seeing that it's not fair having me being the only Uchiha in your opposing team," Itachi recommended.

Shikamaru had nothing to say but to agree with the older Uchiha.

"Uchiha Sasuke,"

Karin heard the name "Sasuke" was called on. She rushed towards Shikamaru.

"If you're going to put Sasuke in your team, then you'd better put me into that team, too!" the girl ordered.

"What? There's no way Shikamaru will put you on the team, you four-eyed witch. Shikamaru is going to put Sakura instead of you, for your information," Ino hissed, interfering them.

Karin grabbed Sasuke on the arm.

"So no Sasuke for your team, one-eyed witch!"

While the two latter bickering, Shikamaru had chosen another 3 players, summing it up to be 6 players. Itachi on the other hand, had chosen 7 players for his team.

"Psssttt, put Sasori's hot little step-sister on our team, Itachi," Hidan told Itachi.

"Haruno Sakura," Itachi called out the pinkette's name, making Ino and Karin stopped bickering.

"Heh, looks like your best friend got picked by the opposing team," Karin smirked as she push her glasses up.

Ino was dumbfounded.

"Well, I suppose that I have to put you into the team so that Sasuke could join our team," Shikamaru pointed on.

Karin nodded and smirked while Ino had to settle for agreement with Shikamaru.

"Alright! Are both teams ready? We will stop when there's a last man standing, understood? Now, begin the war!" Anko yelled her cry of war as she blows the whistle.

As the battle commence, Tobi was the first to be put out of the team.

"Tobi, out!" Anko called out.

"That pumpkin head is fucking useless!" Hidan exclaimed as he dodges the balls.

The battle was held on for 10 minutes.

"Ino, you're out!"

"I.. am not.. cut out for.. this," Ino panted.

"Guren, out!"

"Rock Lee, get out!"

Both teams were losing more and more players until Sakura caught a ball that was thrown by Sasuke, which makes Karin a little pissed off.

"Uchiha Sasuke, you're out! Tobi, get back in there!"

"Y-you bubblegum haired witch!" Karin cried out and grabbed a ball.

"Hey, it's just a game, silly!" Sakura said to the red headed girl.

"Just. A. Game? Well, I'll show what "just a game" means! Take this!" Karin said and threw the ball towards Sakura.

The ball ricochetted towards the pinkette and hits her on the head, hard. Players from both of the team stopped playing. Sakura was seen lying almost unconscious on the ground.

"Saakura! Are you okay?" called out Deidara to her as he carries her to the hospital wing.


Present Time

"... and that's how it happened," Sasori wrapped out his words, ending the story.

Sakura was silenced during the whole story.

'.. so Deidara was the first one to be concern about me..' she thought to herself.

"I was the one who carried you home. You were sleeping soundly so I didn't want to bother waking you up," he continued on.

"O-ohh.. Thanks, Sasori-niisan," she blushed lightly.

"Anyway, eat up your food. It's getting cold. I'll be in my room if you needed something," the red head said as he stood up and walk towards the door.

Sakura nodded as she picks up the tray to her lap.


Night falls. Sakura was sitting on the edge of the veranda, looking at her cellphone.

'Pein.. I wonder if he still care about me.. like Deidara is,'

"No, he doesn't care about you,"

"Yes he still care about me! He even came to the hospital wing!"

"For what purpose? Did he asked to Shizune about a pink haired girl who goes by name of Haruno Sakura that was admitted to the wing? No, he did not. So that means that he doesn't give a damn about you,"

Sakura was speechless.

Just then, her cellphone rang. Her heart felt a bit of excitement hoping that the one who was calling is Pein. She looked at the screen of her phone.

"Ino-pig"

Her smile faded and she sighed sadly. It's not Pein. It was her best friend.

"Hello?" she greeted her blonde friend.

"Sakura! How are you?" Ino greeted her back as the voice of her brother from behind the scene called out.

"Is that Sakura? How is she? Ask her! Is she okay, yeah?" Deidara yelled out from the distant, making Ino annoyed.

"Shut up! I'm on the phone with her right now!" Ino pissed to her brother, making Deidara rush towards her and tries to take the cellphone from her hand.

Sakura listened quietly from the other side of the line as the two siblings wrestled with each other, trying to get a hold on the phone.

"Give.. me.. the phone, yeah!" Deidara yelled out as he wrestle with his baby sister.

"H-hell.. no!" Ino cried out, struggling viciously trying to let go of Deidara's firm grip.

Sakura could imagine the two siblings wrestled violently and she chuckled lightly enough to make the two siblings hear it through the phone. Unfortunately, while trying to grab the phone from Ino, Deidara accidentally touched the loudspeaker button on the screen.

Ino stopped struggling.

"This is stupid. Here, take it. Eat it!" she said as she gives Deidara the phone and walked away, feeling annoyed.

Deidara took the phone and started talking to the pinkette.

"E-er, Sakura, yeah?"

"Yes? Where's Ino?" Sakura finally talked.

"Never mind her, yeah. How are you feeling?" he asked the pinkette, unaware of his little sister who was eavesdropping them.

"Um, I'm fine. Thank you for asking. Just a bit dizzy, that's all," she told the blonde.

"Oh, that's good, yeah," he was relieved.

"Are you.. worried about me?" she hesitantly asked.

The older Yamanaka blushed lightly.

"I, uh, n-no.. well, actually yes. I am worried about you. It's because, you're my little sister's best friend and Sasori's little sister, yeah"

Sakura sensed a feeling of care from the blonde.

"Oh.. Thanks.. you know, for worrying about me and helping me to the hospital wing,"

"No prob, yeah. Well, I have to go now. Ino will be pissed if her credit is low. Heheh. Take care, yeah. Bye!" he parted his good bye to the pinkette.

"You too. Bye," she replied.

She puts back her cellphone on the bed.

"On the other hand, Deidara seems to have feelings towards you, Sakura."

"If so, then what does it have to do with me?"

"Duhh! Forget about Pein. Move on. Date with Deidara. Happily ever after."

Sakura sends her body to the bed and covers her head with a pillow and yelled out a high pitch scream releasing her tense and stress.
