I'm really sorry this took me so long… anywho. Back to the story!

The next morning…

Sasuke had heard water running from upstairs and was betting she was taking a shower or something… though she had no clean clothes. He would have to get Sakura or someone to get her to go shopping for some later. She came down, and he saw that her shirt, the one that the hospital had allowed her to keep, still was covered in blood. He looked at it and knew that he wouldn't let her go out like that. "We need to get you some new clothes…" He mumbled, more to himself than her. She turned to look at him, then she looked down at her shirt.

"Uh… Yeah. Probably…" she said simply and sighed. "I guess you won't let me go anywhere though." She said and looked at him again. She knew he wouldn't go shopping. She could never get any guy to go with her before, and so she had gotten out of the normal thing of wanting to go shopping every day.

"I can probably get Sakura or Hinata to lend you something and then you can go and get your own clothes." He said and wondered about Hinata, but he knew that Sakura would do anything for him. "I'll be right back… hopefully." He said and walked out the door, leaving her in the house alone. He was going to find Sakura. He found her in her house helping her mom with some things. He knocked on the door and she had answered and almost had a heart attack when she saw who it was.

"Sasuke?! What are you doing here?" she asked and came out. "Mom! I'm going to do some things. I'll be back later." She called into her house and closed the door. "So, why are you here? What do you need?" She asked and looked at him.

"Um… Can I get you to come back to my house with me really quickly?" He asked and wondered what was going through her head when he said it. She raised an eyebrow when he asked, then nodded slowly.

"Sure." She said and followed him back to his house. She jumped when she walked in and saw Shiari. "Sasuke. Who's this?" she asked, thinking she had been replaced. (Which she had.) Then she noticed the blood on her shirt. "And what happened to her?" She asked, the worry rising in her voice.

"Uh. This is Shiari… and she got attacked… but I think she's fine now, and I was wondering if she could borrow something of yours and later you could take her shopping to get her some new clothes." He asked, hoping she would say yes.

Sakura thought about it for a long time, then she finally nodded. "Sure. She'd have to come to my place to find something she'd like though. I'm not going to go walking through this village carrying a whole bunch of clothes." She said and Sasuke smiled at her.

"Thanks Sakura." He said and looked at Shiari who had just been sitting there all quiet and stuffs the whole time. "Well, can you go ahead and follow her and… yeah?" He asked her and she stood up and walked over to him and looked at Sakura. She shrugged then nodded. "Thanks again Sakura." He said and headed upstairs to do who knows what.

Later…

Shiari glared at the dress Sakura had found for her. "I don't like dresses…" She mumbled. It was one of the red ones that Sakura was always wearing.

"I'm sorry… but it's the only thing I could find that would fit you." She said. "You ready to head back to Sasuke's?" She asked, Shiari replied with a nod and stood up. Sakura and Shiari walked back side by side. Neither of them were talking. They came up to Sasukes' house and Sakura stopped and waved good bye before turning around and walking back to her house. Shiari walked inside and saw that Sasuke had fallen asleep on the couch. She walked over and sat down next to him. She was bored again but didn't want to touch anything out of fear of making him mad. She was about to fall asleep when he woke up.

"How'd it go?" he asked sleepily, the sudden question making her jump.
