'Today is the day…the day when I finally get to meet him!'
Sakura opened her emerald eyes with excitement and sprang up. "I wonder what he looks like…far more better than that jerk! Why the heck am I thinking about him anyway?! Snap out of it Sakura!"
Sakura hit herself in the head, a little too hard I guess, "Ow! Man…I gotta stop doing that."
AT SCHOOL…
'Sakura..don't be nervous. YOU'RE FINALLY MEETING HIM! RIGHT?' Sakura looked down bummed, nervous about today.
"Yo," a masculine voice was heard. Sakura looked up and saw him. She frowned, "What are you doing here?"
"Going to our class?" Sasuke simply said. "STOP BEING A SMART ASS!" Sakura punched him in the shoulder. Sasuke grunted and said, "What's with you lady? You punch like you're a man!"
Sakura stopped punching and stood still. Sasuke sweatdropped and thought 'Oh no…I have a bad feeling…' Sakura had a terrible aura and looked up at him with burning anger and yelled, "SASUKE!!!!"
"Yep. That's my cue to run," Sasuke sprinted down the hallways with Sakura trailing behind me and looked like she was about to murder him.
"Hey, where the heck is Sakura?" Ino sat on her seat and asked Tenten.
"I don't know…but I think she's with Sasuke," Tenten grinned teasingly. Hinata chuckled a little, "I-I think she is…b-but I don't think i-it's very pleasant m-moment."
"Why no –" Tenten started to talk but was interrupted by a big BOOM!
Sasuke and Sakura came in panting and collapsed on the ground. "SAKURA! SASUKE!" the group ran over to them.
"SAKURA WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?!" Ino shook her shoulders furiously, while the others went to Sasuke.
"Tch. I'm fine," Sasuke got up with pain and shoved the people away.
"Ino? Is that you?" Sakura was still in a painful, dazed state and she hastily realized Sasuke still here.
"SASUKE! I'M NOT FINISHED YET!" Sakura immediately ran over to him but Ino and Tenten hauled her down.
"OH SHI—" Sasuke sweatdropped and was stopped by a gray-haired man.
"Ah, ah, ah. Watch your language Uchiha," Kakashi grinned under his mask and went in front of the classroom. "Okay class. Let's begin!"
"YOU'RE LATE KAKASHI-SENSEI!" Naruto stood up and punched his fist in the air. The whole argument for minutes when the classroom finally quiet down.
Sakura still puffed angrily in her seat with crossed arms and her eyes locked with the Uchiha. Sasuke looked into her emerald eyes and couldn't stop staring into them. As soon as he was getting lured into them, Sakura whipped her head away. "Hmph!"
Sasuke smirked at her behavior and decided to play along. "You still mad? Get over it. You know I was joking."
Sakura looked at him with one eye, "Heh. Yes I still am and no I won't get over it. And apparently I wasn't laughing at your joke either."
"Geez woman," Sasuke muttered under his breath. 'God, I feel like Shikamaru. Now I know how it feels about women…but still…she's much different.' He peeked his onyx eye to the pink-haired girl.
'GOSH HE CAN BE SO INFURATING! JUST LOOKING AT HIM TICKS ME OFF!'
'Psh. Yeah right. You literally faint when looking at him.'
'You? Who are you exactly?'
'I am you. Simple as that. Just think of your conscience.'
'Conscience? I don't need any.'
'Oh yes you do! Anyway I'm helping in your love life. As right now, it seems very boring.'
'WHO ARE YOU TO TELL ME THAT MY LOVE LIFE IS BORING!? NOW GO AWAY!'
'YOU CAN'T TELL ME TO GO AWAY! I'M YOU! Come on, what do you think about that Sasuke guy huh?'
'Nothing. He's an annoying, cold-hearted, arrogant, selfish, hot bastard!' Sakura gasped of what she just said.
'HA! So you DO admit you think he's hot!'
'NO! I MEANT—I MEANT-….AGH! WELL HE'S JUST A BASTARD!'
'SURE HE IS. But look at him! You gotta admit he is sureeeeeee damn good-looking.'
'I'm not gonna argue with you. Argh.'
"Hn?" Sasuke looked at Sakura who seems to be arguing with herself. 'Weird…'
'Fine don't argue. But I got news for you.'
'And what's that?'
'I say that the Sasuke you talk online is the same Sasuke right here.'
'What are you talking about?'
'You know what I'm talking about. Come on! I mean how many Sasuke's are out there that you know?'
'Uhmm…let me think about this.'
'See? Come on. Use your head! Even I am smarter than you. And they call you the sma—'
'Okay okay. Shut up! But still, it can't be him. I mean…he doesn't act the same way as the Sasuke I know online.'
'Here. Just for future reference, in case WE get hurt. Think about this. He might be the same Sasuke…he might be just hiding it. Just prepare youself okay?!'
'I should be asking you the same thing.'
'Whatever. See ya later!'
"Miss Haruno. Miss Haruno. SAKURA HARUNO!"
"Huh? What?! I DIDN'T SPIT THE PAPER BALLS!" Sakura shot up from her seat and closed her eyes shut.
The class started laughing and pointed at Kakashi's back.
"What? Thank you for colluding that," he wiped his back from the paperballs. "Now did you remember what I said?"
"Uhm…you said 'Thank you for colluding that'?" Sakura innocently answered.
"No. Are you trying to make me out of a fool Miss Haruno?" Kakashi sighed. 'Man, I still don't know why I'm working as a teacher.'
"Not really. I'm sorry Kakashi-sensei. I didn't hear your question," Sakura replied with confidence and enjoyed this teasing.
"It's okay Miss Haruno. We all know it's a Friday and you guys are all excited for the weekend. Okay, forget the question. God, I need a cup of coffee," Kakashi sighed and took out his Icha Icha Paradise Book.
Sakura twitched disapprovingly and sat down in her seat cheering victoriously mentally.
Sasuke smirked at her actions and was quite entertained.
Tenten, Ino, and Hinata were looking at the Uchiha's face. They whispered in a huddle, "Psttt. Look at him smiling at Sakura." "U-Uhm. Ino? It was more of a smir—" "Same thing!" "Hey…you think Sakura will get hurt when Sasuke tells Sakura 'you-know-what?'" Tenten asked. "I d-don't know…s-she might t-take it hard," Hinata replied softly with concern. "Billboard Brow should know that her Sasuke is Sasuke right now! I mean does she know ANY other Sasuke's out there?" Ino whispered a bit loudly.
"Achoo!" Sasuke sneezed a little sneeze. "Hey teme? What's wrong?" Naruto nudged his finger at his arm annoyingly. "Agh. Move it, dobe! I just thought I heard someone saying my name," Sasuke waved his finger away.
"Well…I know a distant friend named Sasuke before. Or was it…Sasooke…or Sa-sake…" Tenten trailed off while Ino and Hinata were speaking. "Yeah. She doesn't know any," Ino concluded. "I-I think s-she doesn't admit that i-it's h-him…" Hinata poked her fingers together. "Well still…"
"Miss Ino Yamanaka? Would you like to teach the class?"
"OH NO. IT'S OKAY. CONTINUE. Eheheheheh," Ino nervously laughed and they broke the huddle.
RING!!!!!!
Fastforwarding to break.
Sakura walked through the noisy hallways and was deep in thought. 'Is he for real? Is he really different than Sasuke?'
'Well who cares! They're both hot!'
'You again?'
'Yeah miss me?'
'You're me, so no.'
'Damn…harsh.'
"Sakura!" a loud voice was heard and the blond pushed the crowd. "BILLBOARD BROW!"
"Ino…" Sakura muttered under her breath but smiled at her. "INO PIG!"
Ino reached up to her and took deep breaths. "-huff- I thought I –huff- was about to –huff- die back there. –huff-" Ino then regained her posture and shook Sakura vigorously. "SO ARE YOU GOING TO TALK TO THIS OTHER SASUKE GUY?!?!"
"I-I-INO!" Sakura tried to breathe the words out, but failed from the shaking. "S-STOP—s-shaking-m-ME!" Ino realized what she was doing and let go of Sakura's shoulders, causing Sakura to fall on the ground. "Whoops Sakura, sorry about that!" Ino sheepishly stuck her tongue out.
"Yeah yeah yeah," Sakura dizzily got up and dusted her skirt. "Now, can you say that again LESS loud?" Ino then remembered, "Oh yeah…SOO ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO MEET HIM!?" Sakura clasped her hands on her ears, "LESS LOUD!"
"Right! So are you?" Ino then got annoyed from Sakura's excuses. "Well…I guess I am right now. But you called my name and I wasted 5 of my precious minutes," Sakura said with irritation. "My bad. Well Sakura…whatever happens…just please understand," Ino's voice suddenly got quiet.
Sakura raised her eyebrow, "Whaddya mean?" "Just don't get hurt Sakura. We wanted to tell you but you were so happy…that we couldn't…" Ino put on a reassuring smile and walked away leaving Sakura confused. 'What? Don't get hurt? Oh well.'
Sakura then walked down the hallways and straight to the courtyard.
THE COURTYARD…
A sigh was heard under the cherry blossom tree. A hand was on top of his forehead. 'Agh. I hate confrontations like this. So damn annoying…' He looked up and didn't get to really notice the tree. 'Sakura trees…jeez why does this have to be so hard! How can she be so slow?' He waited for the pink-haired girl to come and watched as the petals drifted with the wind creating a transition.
Sakura walked through the grass and felt the slight breeze. 'Mmm…feels nice.' She looked ahead and saw a man next to the tree. She couldn't see clearly because of the many flower petals flying in the air. 'Is that him? IT IS!' She thought with excitement and walked faster. The flowers seemed to fly ragingly in the air making Sakura harder to see the man. "What's with these flower petals?!" She said to herself and tried to push the petals away from her eyes.
As she got closer and closer she began to see a bit clearly. It was a teen her age, not a man. He had black-hair that is swept back making it look like a chicken and his eyes were covered from his bangs. Sakura walked slower and her breathing became quicker, 'Don't tell me…he looks like—' She was still walking and didn't realize the mini-hill she was climbing up, and slowly began to fall. 'AH!' Sakura closed her eyes shut but she didn't feel any pain…or anything. Actually scratch that, she did feel a hand gripping on her arm.
"Sakura…you okay?"
Sakura slowly lifted her petite head to see whose voice was speaking to her. "You were always clumsy…dummy. Nice to see you, Sakura," he continued to talk and smirked; hiding the fact he knew what was going to happen next.
Sakura didn't need to speak, her eyes told everything. 'Sas-suke?!'
'NO! IT CAN'T BE!'
She still looked at the boy in front of her and slowly tore her arm away. "N-No..w-why…why is it y-you?" Sakura breathed out with a meek voice. Sasuke reached out to her again, "Sakura, let me explain—"
She slapped her hand away and closed her eyes shut, "NO! I d-don't want to hear f-from you! Please tell me it isn't true…please tell me it isn't true…" She dropped onto her knees and tried to stop from letting her years go out. She looked up and glared at him hard, sudden mood change. "You! You jerk! You think this is a sick game?! Toying around with me? Is that it?!"
"Saukra…like I said let me expla—" he spoke in a low tone, but was interrupted by her again. "Are you kidding me?! You'll just laugh and say more lies! You know what Sasuke? No Uchiha, I'm not buying it! This…this hurt me more than you ever know. I hate you Sasuke Uchiha! I hate y—" tears suddenly stopped as a weight was on her shoulders.
"I'm sorry…I'm sorry…please don't say that…don't' say you hate me," Sasuke hugged her tight and closed his eyes for several reasons. One, he has no idea how he's coming up with these words. Two, he never apologizes, rarely. Three, he is totally out of it. Four, his pride is now gone. And five, he realizes it all doesn't matter; Sakura is the only one in his mind now.
"I know I did horrible things to you…to tell you the truth, "I've always thought of you as a kind and understanding person when we first met. I thought no one else would understand me…but I was wrong. You opened me up and yes I didn't tell you who exactly I was and I was the same person. But, you should've known, I mean…everyone practically knows me. But hey, who's there to blame?" Sakura glared slightly at him at his remark, but he ignored it and continued, "But besides that Sakura, you can hit me, punch me, kick me, hurt me physically in any way, but please…don't say you hate me. I know I've been a jerk to you…and lied all this time but I came here to say that I…I really like you Sakura." 'What am I saying?! Gosh, I really ruining my reputation…' Sasuke blushed mentally.
Sakura couldn't believe the words coming out of his mouth. 'Can this guy be the same Sasuke Uchiha?!' Her mouth and hands trembled, "N-No…no you d-don't. It's not possible…" She looked away and Sasuke frowned, "Sakura I really do like you. I…I love you." Sakura gasped but still had doubts, "How can I trust you again? How do I know you're not lying to me?" Sakura looked at him with hard eyes. Sasuke hesitated but slowly opened his mouth, "By this." He grabbed her pink-head and put his lips on hers.
Her emerald-orbs widened what was happening. Sasuke kept his hands on her hand but then slid down to her waist. Sakura struggled in his strong arms, but didn't prevail. 'What a-am I doing? He's the one you lied, he's the one who didn't tell me the truth, he's the one who--….but he's the one who I love.' She closed her eyes and put her arms around his neck. Sasuke smirked against her lips and held her tighter.
Sasuke then broke and whispered in her ear, "I did mean every word I said. I'm sorry, Sakura." Sakura hesitated but gave a small smile, "I know…I know but…I felt like I needed to avoid what you have to say. I mean at first…I didn't believe what you said." Sasuke sighed and ran his hand through his hair, "You kidding me? You think I would say ALL that and didn't mean it? I mean when do you hear me say that daily? Stop being stupid Sakura." Sakura hit his arm hard playfully and stuck her tongue out, "Yeah...you really did lose it, Sasuke…AHAH! Wait until I tell the others about this!" Sasuke flustered, "Don't-you-dare!" Sakura smiled evilly, "Oh I will. After you lied to me this whole time, it's pay back time!"
Sasuke glared at her but then smirked. He kissed her quickly on the lips again, "I am really sorry…Sakura." Sakura turned red not from embarrassment but from annoyance, "Sasuke, stop it. I understand…as long you meant every word you said. Even when we talked online, I will be happy!" She smiled brightly this time and Sasuke's lips turned up slightly. Sakura seemed to notice and gasped, "Is that a smile I see Mr. Uchiha? Mwuahaha more blackmail!" Sakura got up and ran down the hill towards school.
"SAKURA HARUNO!" Sasuke growled and chased her down. Laughter rang through the air as forgiveness and happiness spread.
The wind blew petals of cherry blossom tree and trailed after them and fell on their heads. And that's where the wind blew under the cherry blossom tree.
