So, Here is Chapter 4.
I'm glad people like it, and glad to read your kind reviews.
So, thankyou very much.
Anways, Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto :(
Recap: Naruto stood leaning against the door frame.
"Hey Teme."
Sasuke looked up smirking, "Hey Dobe."
Naruto grinned and took a seat beside his bed, "Guess what? No, don't guess. I'll tell you! I'm, dating Hinata-chan!! Well, I have been for a while. But you know, I only really had time to tell you now."
Sasuke smirked again, "Congrats Dobe. But why are you telling me?"
Naruto laughed, "Well, because Hinata-chan is just so beautiful. I wanted you to know that she's taken." He grinned at Sasuke as he spoke.
Sasuke chuckled lightly-very lightly, "It's ok. I'm not interested in Hinata-chan."
Naruto winked at him, "So, who are you interested in then."
Sasuke glared at him lightly, "I think Sakura hates me." He avoided the question but spoke instead about what was bothering him.
Naruto tilted his head to side, "I don't think so."
"I think so." Sasuke glared into the air as he spoke.
Naruto looked at Sasuke seriously for once, "You know she still loves you Sasuke?"
"Well, I thought I knew, but I heard her talking to Ino, and Sakura said that she'd given up on me ever accepting her." Sasuke took a large breath, having said all that in one breath. It was probably the longest thing he had said all day.
Naruto sighed, "Well what did you expect Teme. Your a jerk. Of course she gave up. And why do you care anyways?"
Sasuke glared into the air again, "She seems really mad around me." He avoided Naruto's question again.
Naruto looked at him thoughtfully, "Just tell her your sorry... "
Sasuke grunted, "Yeah right. But what if she's not mad at me. It's weird for me to just go up to her and apologize randomly."
Naruto sighed again, "Ok Sasuke, then ask her if she's mad at you. But Teme, she could be mad without showing it. I mean you did knock her out and leave her on a bench to be possibly kidnapped, after she confessed her love to you. Then when she asked me to bring you back, you tried to kill me. And that wasn't the first time. You left for so many years, and she trained so hard for you to except her. And as far I know, you've treated her just the same. " Naruto smlied goofily before getting up to go meet Hinata. He grinned, "Hope it helps. Ja ne Teme."
"Bye dobe."
Naruto walked out smirking, 'So, Teme. Your going to ask her if she's mad at you...wow, you're in for an ear full.' Naruto thought.
Sasuke at alone in his room, waiting for Sakura to come in again. That's what he'd do. Just ask her if she was mad at him.
He waited, but she never came and he eventually fell asleep.
Sakura lay down on the couch almost immediately after stepping foot into her apartment, she removed her clothes down to her bra and underwear and lay down on the couch. She fell into a deep, and un-comfortable sleep.
She woke up about 9:00 in the morning in a thick, cold sweat. She realized with a shock that she had missed the night checkup, and one of the morning check-ups. She ran to the kitchen stuffing toast in her mouth feeling much better after a night's sleep. She pulled on a blue tank top lying on the ground, and small black shorts. She grabbed her knee high ninja boots and pulled them on quickly before running out of the house.
She threw open the door to Sasuke's hospital quarters panting.
Sasuke opened his mouth a bit to gape at all the exposed skin she had. Though he wasn't complaining. It looked very... nice. He closed his mouth quickly realizing he was gaping at her.
Sakura closed the door catching her breath.
Sasuke smirked, "You're late."
She gave him a light glare, "Well, I didn't feel well. I'm fine now."
"Hn"
She chuckled quietly, "Nice to know you care."
Sasuke knew it was a joke, but he couldn't help but feel a little bad. Damn that girl, she was making him feel things that hurt.
Sakura walked over too him smiling lightly, "Here you go."
He looked at the brown bag in her hands and took it hesitantly, he opened it to find 4 large ripe tomatoes.
"I saw them on my way here. Thought you'd like them."
He looked up a small shocking smile etched on his perfect features. Sakura looked in complete awe at the small sign of gratitude he showed.
It was a rare smile, but since he still wasn't sure if she was angry at him even if she didn't show it, he thought he should be kind towards her, "Thanks."
She nodded and began the same routine as before, she began to lightly massage his chest, temples, legs, and arms sending healing chakra into his body. He actually groaned in satisfaction as her healing chakra floated across his chest.
This time she actually heard his small groan, and he smirked at the dark blush occuping the larger portion over her cheeks and nose.
Her hands retreated, and she packed up her tools once again walking to the door to leave. It was as if she was spending the minimal time with him as possible.
She reached towards the door knob to leave when she heard his voice.
"Are you mad at me?"
She stopped abruptly her hand shaking, and she turned around to face him sadness and anger burning in her eyes, "Of course I am! I amy not show it but what did you expect you-you-Jerk!"
She was angry at herself for not coming up with something a little more creative to call him, "You think you can turn up here without even apologizing to anyone. I thought maybe you cared about us and about Konoha enough to say your sorry. I told you I loved you Sasuke...and you left me on a bench. If that doesn't scream bastard, I don't know what does. And yet I still love you! How is that possible? Because maybe some part of my stupid subconscious mind decided to try and make me believe that you cared for me." Sad tears fell down her pale cheeks, "Ah, this is so stupid I shouldn't even have to tell you all of this. And I'm crying! I told myself not too cry in front of you, and now look. You just... you don't care about us. And I know you never will. It's time I stopped trying to make you see how great life could be with us... whatever..."
She threw her hands up her hands in defeat and walked towards the door.
He tried to get up to stop her, but his legs still needed at least another days recovery.
"Sakura...you have no idea how sorry I am." His voice so quiet, yet he wanted it to be heard.
Sakura turned back around and looked at him. Emerald clashing with onyx, "Say it again. Louder."
"I'm sorry, and I do care about Konoha. I came back. I was so sorry. Not a day went by that I didn't regret it..."
Sakura looked at him, his eyes were pleading strangely enough. She wanted just to forget all this un-pleasantness and live happily with Sasuke. But what did he want?
"Sasuke, what do you want?"
He looked at her trying to meet her eyes, "Forgive me."
Sakura giggled at the face he was trying to make. Somewhere between puppy dog eyes, and a smirk. She had had a burst of anger, and strangely enough the minute he said he was sorry it went away. It was all she needed to hear, and she was perfectly fine now that she knew she actually cared. But she would tease him a bit more.
She walked a little closer to him and giggled, "Beg."
Sasuke gaped at her but obliged, "Please."
Sakura grinned and jumped onto his bed sitting beside him, "Ok, your forgiven!"
Sasuke wasn't sure how to react, "Well, that was quick."
Sakura laughed and hugged him to his surprise, he didn't return the hug, "I figure I can't really stay mad at you when you apologize. Sasuke don't worry, I'm not fawning over you, it's just a friendly hug."
Sasuke was taken a back by her words, not because he still thought she was an annoying young girl, but because he actually knew she wasn't. Strangely enough he liked her hugs, and that was the first time in a long time he wanted to let someone get close to him.
To her surprise he wrapped his arms around her waist lightly hugging her back.
Sakura rested in his arms for a little. Sakura was pretty sure that hug meant a different thing to her than to him...
But what if it meant the same thing to both of them?
Ok! So I know I said that the chapter would be out tomorrow.
But I was kinda bored so I ended up writing this chapter today.
Next chapter out tomorrow or Monday!
Well, anyways I hope you like it!
