"Talking"

'Thinking'

'Inner'

Chapter 4

'Oh my god, what did I do? Why did I agree to meet his friends?' Sakura thinks while walking to Science next to Sasuke. 'Karin will defiantly kill me. Inner please help me.' 'Just say you don't feel that well and he'll probably let it off for now.' Her Inner reasons. 'I think I'll do that. This way Karin has a reason less to hate me.'

Meanwhile in Sasuke's head

'Wow, she wants to meet my friends. I hope she likes them.' 'Well I hope she doesn't like the dobe too much.' 'Yeah. If he even glances at her in a weird way I'll kill him.' 'Maybe you should kill someone else first.' 'Who and why?' 'Well didn't you see how Karin send all those ugly, evil looks to our Blossom?' 'Yes I did but so did all the other fangirls. Why?' 'But Karin's was even worse. It was as if one look from Karin was given our Blossom second thoughts about what she just said us.' 'Really?' And Sasuke looks side ways to Sakura and sees they're here. He takes her hand and guides her into the Science lab and towards his seat. "Sakura, you can sit here. Actually you don't quite have a choice because it's the only seat available." Sakura takes the seat. Sasuke gives her his Science book and continues his conversation with his Inner. 'So how did you figure this out.' 'Remember when you asked her to meet our friends?' 'Yeah.' 'Well after she answered positively she glanced at Karin and her entire face changed from a happy expression to a scared expression.' 'Why didn't I see this?' 'You were too busy being happy because she agreed.' 'Oh so now we've got to figure out what the band is between Sakura and Karin.' 'That's right.' 'So how should we do this. Asking Sakura?' 'No that will be to straight forward. And she could lie if she has to.' 'Yeah, you're right. What about asking Karin?' 'Think about what you just said. Do you really want to talk to that ugly whore?' 'No, you're right I would never ask her if it's not something where a life depends on. What about stalking Sakura?' 'Finally you've got a good idea. You can protect Sakura and find out what her relationship is to Karin in one go. Stalking Sakura it is.' 'Isn't it a bit weird that I stalk her home on her first day here at our school?' 'No it isn't. You just have to make sure that you won't get caught by her or the person she is with at that moment.' 'Ok. I'll start after school with this.' During his conversation with his Inner , Sakura has been listening to the teachers and taking notes. The lesson is almost over so instead of doing the exercises in class they have to make them at home. Only Sakura doesn't need to do this because she'll only receive her books the next day after the lesson. As the bell rings are Sakura and Sasuke the only ones ready so Sasuke takes Sakura's hand and leads her to their next classroom 2 doors further down the hall and straight to his seat in the back of the class. As soon as she's seated he says "Don't be scared of this class because our teacher is one hell of a pervert that's why I gave you the seat next to me where nobody sits normally." 'Good move. And Jiraiya is really perverted.' His Inner comments. "Ok and how bad of a pervert is that Jiraiya?" Sakura asks him in wonder. "You'll see how perverted he is if I don't put a hand in front of your eyes because it's not for your eyes to see." "Ok, that sounds bad." With this their teacher Jiraiya comes in their class and starts his lesson about the human body with a lot of graphic examples. During the entire class Sasuke is watching and talking to Sakura. They talk about random stuff and learn to know each other better. The lesson is over way too fast for their likings, they wanted to talk a lot more and will do so at lunch Sasuke thinks. As they walk to the cafeteria Sakura says "I think I'll first go to the bathroom. I'll join you after I come back." "Will you know where we sit?" "I'll just look around and go to the table that's most crowded with fangirls." "Ok, that's where you'll find us." And with this Sasuke leaves Sakura at the bathroom. As soon as Sasuke is out of sight Sakura goes back to her homeroom class to find her way to her next class after lunch History with Asuma and eats her lunch which was trusted in her hands by a butler this. Ten minutes before class starts, Sasuke comes in class. 'There she is.' 'Why is she her? Why didn't she come to the cafeteria?' 'Ask her it's the fastest way.' "Why are you here?" Sasuke asks her as soon as he is at the desk she took when she came in which is also his. "I didn't feel that well and wanted to be alone for a moment?" She tells him. He looks at her and sees that her eyes are really red so he asks "Did you cry?" "No." she lies to him because she did cry and doesn't want him to find out why she cried.

Flashback of Sakura when she entered the class.

Sakura enters the class and goes to take a seat at the back of the classroom. As soon as she is seated Karin enters the classroom and goes to her with an enraged face. Sakura says while trying to hide her fear "Hello Karin. Is there something I can help you with?" "YOU!" Karin says with a shrieking voice. "Uhm .. Yes Karin." Sakura answers with her fear in her voice. "Why do you hang around MY Sasuke-kun!?" "Karin can you please stop shouting and sit down?" "Sure." Karin answers and takes a seat in front of Sakura. "Now tell me why you hang around MY Sasuke-kun?" "Well in my first class I was placed next to him by the teacher and we had to share his book to make the exercises because my books will only arrive tomorrow. The next class you were there so you know how it went and because he was the only one with the same class as me he took it upon himself to show me where my class is. During our English lesson he asked for my schedule and apparently we've got the exact same schedule." "WHAT!? I want you schedule." "Karin do you want Biology from Jiraiya?" "Uhm no." "Then don't ask for my schedule and let me continue." "Ok." "So we've got the exact same schedule and he says suddenly that he will guide me to all of my classes which I didn't want but he still insists to take me to my Science class. In Science I'm again placed next to him because it was the only seat left. We shared his book once again and after the lesson he takes my hand and takes me to the Biology class and to his seat in the back of the class and tells me everything I've got to know about our Biology teacher Jiraiya. The teacher comes in and Sasuke keeps asking me questions about myself the entire lesson. Nearly at the end of the lesson he asks if I want to meet his friends." Sakura tells Karin while hiding some of the thrust and in the wrong way of time. "You denied right?" Karin asks. "Actually no I said I wanted to meet them but as we were walking to lunch I said I had to go the bathroom and I told him I would meet him in the cafeteria. Instead of going to the cafeteria I came here and then you came in." Sakura ends her story to Karin. "You bitch!" Karin said shrieking. She slaps Sakura hard and turns around with the words "I warned you not to socialise with him and still you did. You will know the consequences soon and don't tell a soul about this meeting or that you're my stepsister because you don't deserve to be my stepsister." With this Karin left. As soon as Karin said those words Sakura started to cry.

End of Sakura's flashback

During this flashback Sakura started crying once again. Sasuke immediately wraps her in an embrace and let her cry her heart out in his chest. "Now tell me what happened to you, Sakura?" "It's all Karin's fault." "What did she do to you?" "She threatened me because you show me around for today." "Sakura can I help you? And don't tell me to stay away from you because I can't do that." "Please don't tell anyone but you can't help me at all because if she can't hurt me here she'll do it at home." "What do you mean?" He asks even though he already knows the entire story and heard everything Karin said to Sakura. "We live in the same house." "Is she your stepsister?" "Yes unfortunately she is." Sakura tells him. "Actually no one is allowed to know about her being my stepsister." Sakura explains to Sasuke. "I won't do anything for now but if it gets out of hand I will intervene for you." "Thank you Sasuke." "It's nothing. For you I'll do anything." "Why are you so cool with it?" "Because I heard and sow your entire conversation." He says while he gently caresses the cheek Karin hit. "You saw that?" "Yeah I did and I am angry at Karin for hurting you." He keeps caressing her cheek gently. It's now 5 minutes before class starts. "Sakura come let's ditch these last three lessons and go to my house to talk about a plan to avoid Karin." "Ok but I need to be back here to drive home together with Karin." "Just tell her you will try out the bus system to get home." "Okay let's go find her." "I'll wait for you in the parking lot." They both go their own way.

To Sakura and ?.

'Where is she? Oh there she is.' "Karin!" "What do you want?" "Uhm I just wanted to say that I won't drive back with you after school. I will try to get home by myself. I'll go and check out the bus today." "Ok so you'll go with the bus from now on?" "I'll see how it works out today. Okay?" "Okay." Sakura leaves Karin with the thought 'Wow she was friendly.' But as soon as Sakura was out of hearing distance Karin said to her fried when she asked her about why she had to drive Sakura. "Because the bitch's parents don't own enough money to buy her a car or even a navigation system." Someone who was in the same hallway and in hearing distance from them away heard what Karin said and immediately send a text to her friend Sasuke. After she send the message she walks past Karin who says "Hey Ten Ten. Can I ask you something?" "Hello Karin. You already did. I don't have time. Class starts in 2 minutes." "What!?" Karin and her friends shriek and make their way to their classroom in a dash.

Meanwhile at the parking lot.

Sasuke receives the message, reads it carefully. As he glances up he sees Sakura coming and puts his phone in his pocket. "Sasuke can we go now?" Sakura asks as she is in front of him. "Sure hop on." Only now Sakura sees that Sasuke is leaning against a motorcycle. "You ride a motorcycle?" "Yes I do. Why?" "I've always wanted to ride on one." "Well what are you waiting for? Hop on." Sasuke hands her his spare helmet which she puts on and hops on the motorcycle behind Sasuke. "Where should I hold myself?" "Just wrap your arms around me that way you won't fall." So Sakura wraps her arms around Sasuke's waist. Sasuke starts the motorcycle and off they go.
