Me: *smiles* Thanks so much everyone for all of the nice reviews that you all give me *blushes* I'm kind of embarrassed with all of the polite things you all have to say.

Sasuke: Sheesh you've only gotten a little over thirty reviews, it's not like you're famous or anything.

Me: Gah! S-Sasu-cakes! You's mean!

Sasuke: *twitch* Don't call me Sasu-cakes.

Itachi: *pats his head* Now I know what to call you the next time you decline my brotherly love.

Sasuke: Damn You!

Me: T-T E-Enjoy the chapter.

"Psst! Sakura," Ino whispered loudly to her pink haired friend.

Sakura looked over at Ino and gave her a questioning look.

"Why were you so late coming into class this morning? Did something happen between you and Sai?" Ino asked with a smirk when she said that last part.

Sakura rolled her eyes, "No nothing happened, I just got distracted and didn't realize the time."

That was an obvious lie on Sakura's part. After the whole romance in Sasuke's car took place, the two lovers realized the time and made their way towards the school. Now obviously people would wonder why both Sakura and Sasuke arrived at school at the same time and why Sakura was in Sasuke's car. Thankfully Sasuke dropped Sakura off about a block away from the building while he went ahead to park his car. Sasuke felt bad about leaving Sakura a block away and not even walking in with her, but it had to be done, which didn't bother Sakura in the least.

Sakura was glad that she didn't have Sasuke teach until the afternoon, she knew that if she and Sasuke walked into the classroom at the same time there would be major suspicion right there. Hell, no one in class knew that Uchiha-sensei was late, and the students in his class didn't know that Sakura was late as well, so as long as no one put two and two together, everything would be okay.

The girls then brought their attentions back to the front of the room where their history teacher, Kakashi Hatake was reading a passage from the book.

"Now can anyone tell me what year…"

XOXOXOXOXO

"Okay class remember; read chapter eleven for Wednesday and answer questions one through ten for Friday," Sasuke said as he packed his case and headed out the door to go to his next class session.

Sasuke looked out the windows and saw that the trees were starting to regain their spring bloom. Sasuke seemed to enjoy the springtime out of all of the other seasons, probably because the weather outside was neither too cold nor too hot. He saw a lot of Sakura trees bloom with bright pink colors as the wind blew several of them into the spring air. Sasuke sighed; he still had two more classes to teach and then his lunch break before he would be able to see his Sakura-chan, and because of what he saw this morning it made him want to keep a closer eye out on her…or more so the young man who touched his cherry blossom.

"Ne Sasuke? You awake over there?"

A voice had interrupted Sasuke's thoughts as he looked over to find a colleague of his standing just a few feet away.

"Y-Yeah, sorry about that Kiba, guess I'm just a little distracted today," Sasuke said.

Kiba smirked, "What? Thinking about a girl?"

Sasuke flinched a bit, but went unnoticed by Kiba, "I'm married remember?"

Kiba chuckled, "Sometimes I wonder, seeing as how you never talk about her or ever show her off."

"Well she's always working so I feel like there is no point in trying to show her off," Sasuke said as he was getting annoyed with the conversation.

Kiba shrugged his shoulders, "Well maybe you should get a pet or something to play with while she isn't home; you know I have several dogs that you can take a look at."

Sasuke twitched, "No thanks, and besides, my wife isn't a big animal fan."

Kiba crossed his arms over his chest, "Dang, your house must be boring if you're not allowed to have a pet."

Sasuke rolled his eyes; not only was Kiba a teacher, but he also had his own private animal sanctuary he had in his own home. Ever since he can remember, Sasuke always found Kiba rescuing a new animal, hell he remembered one day when Kiba actually found an injured bird outside of the school yard and brought it into his office. Thankfully Kiba has a private room so no one knew about it, except Sasuke of course since they both share the same space.

"Well I wouldn't want one even if she asked for one, I have too much time on my hands to clean up after an animal," Sasuke said.

Kiba sighed, "Sasuke, you're way too uptight; everything seems to be a waste to you."

Sasuke ignored Kiba's comment as they both made their way down the hall.

"Well this is my stop…But if your girl ever feels upset, I suggest getting her a kitten to make her smile again," Kiba said with a smile before entering the classroom.

Sasuke stared at the door that Kiba had just closed. The way Kiba said that…It felt like Kiba knew something that he had no business in knowing. Sasuke just ignored what Kiba was telling him as he made his way further into the halls.

XOXOXOXO

"Finally! Lunch time!" Ino cried out as she placed her bento on her desk.

Sakura sighed, "You sure are excited about lunch today."

Ino smiled as a blush consumed her face, "This lunch was made special today."

Hinata blinked, "D-Did Shikamaru-san make you lunch?"

Ino giggled, "Of course he did…after I forced him to."

Sakura let out a small chuckle; of course Ino forced Shikamaru to make her lunch; he's not one to be considered the romantic type, plus he hated doing anything that consisted of 'hard labor', which was pretty much anything.

"Is Shikamaru coming over to have lunch with us today?" Sakura asked.

Ino sighed and gave out a small pout, "No, he told me that he had to finish off his stupid game of Go with Asuma-sensei."

Shikamaru was possibly one of the smartest students in their grade, possibly the whole school. So you would think that someone as lazy as Shikamaru wouldn't even have good grades, but surprisingly he does. Plus he never backs down from a game of Go, especially if it's with Asuma-sensei.

"W-Well at least he made you this nice lunch," Hinata said, trying to cheer up Ino.

Sakura couldn't help but watch Hinata and Ino talk the way they did. She considered Hinata and Ino to be her closest friends; and she knew that it was going to be really hard for her to leave them when she runs away with Sasuke in just a few weeks.

A few weeks…

It was strange for Sakura to hear those words; she remembered the first time she and Sasuke discussed their plan to run away together…that was about six months ago.

For some reason, deep down in Sakura's stomach, she felt like the time was coming too soon. But she loved Sasuke and she would do anything for him.

"Sakura!"

Sakura fell out of her trance when she noticed both Ino and Hinata staring at her with worry on their faces.

"Sakura are you even paying attention?" Ino asked.

Sakura shook her head and patted her cheeks with her hands, "N-No, I'm sorry guys what were you saying?"

Ino groaned, "I was seeing if you guys wanted to go buy some cake from that nice little café downtown."

Ino nodded her head, "Yeah and we haven't had a girl's day out in forever!"

Sakura thought it over, trying to think if she had made any previous plans with Sasuke for the day.

"…No I'm not doing anything," Sakura said.

"Me neither," Hinata said.

Ino smiled, "Good, then once school is over we can all head over there."

Sakura smiled. She did actually have plans with Sasuke, but she decided to skip them seeing as how she was going to be leaving her friends soon; plus she knew that Sasuke would understand.

"Also Sakura…"

Sakura then placed her attention on Ino who was giving Sakura this devious smirk.

"We want to know what went on between you and Sai-kun this morning."

Sakura blushed at the mere mention of Sai's name. She saw Ino's smirk deepen and Hinata blush.

"N-Nothing happened….we just talked," Sakura said as she popped a piece of meat into her mouth.

"Ohhhh? What did you guys talk about?" Ino continued.

Sakura's eye twitched in annoyance, "N-Nothing! We just talked about school and that was it!"

Ino chuckled, "Then why are you stuttering?"

Sakura growled at Ino's persistence, "B-Because you're twisting my words around."

Ino smirked, "I'm not doing anything, I'm just asking you a simple question and you're trying to change the subject."

Sakura shifted her eyes so they wouldn't meet Ino's, while she kept placing more food into her mouth.

Ino then let out a big sigh, "Fine then, if you don't want to tell us then you don't have to."

Sakura let out a sigh of relief.

"But I pass Sai-kun in the hallways every day so I'll just ask him."

Sakura then slammed both her hands on the desk, almost knocking over her lunch, "I-Ino!"

Ino just laughed, "Oh calm down Sakura; I'm only kidding."

Sakura growled as she crossed her arms over her chest and moved her head to the side so she could look out the window instead of Ino's triumphant smirk.

That's when Sakura noticed that the sky was becoming darker and the clouds as well.

"Looks like it's going to rain," Sakura said.

Ino gasped as she looked outside, "Whaaaat? But the news said it was going to be sunny all day today."

"Looks like mother nature had a different plan," Hinata said.

Ino groaned as she slumped down in her chair, "Shoot; I didn't bring an umbrella."

"Don't worry; I'm sure a lot of people didn't bring their umbrella's either," Sakura said.

"Guess our cake trip is just going to have to be postponed until tomorrow," Ino said.

Sakura was a bit upset knowing that they couldn't go out; but knowing that tomorrow they would be able to go out was good…guess she would spend her time with Sasuke after all.

"B-But there is always tomorrow Ino-chan," Hinata said.

"I guess; if we just had one umbrella we would be able to go," Ino sighed out in frustration.

Sakura gave her friends a small smile before they heard the bell ring; meaning that lunch was over and Sasuke would be coming in to teach.

The girls packed up their lunches and headed back to their designated seats, and soon the remaining students entered the classroom where they too sat in their assigned seats.

It was only a few minutes later when Sasuke walked into the classroom with his case in one hand and his other in his pant pocket.

"Good afternoon everyone," Sasuke said as he placed his case on the desk.

"Good afternoon Uchiha-sensei," the students said in unison.

Sasuke then pulled out his reading glasses from his case and placed them on his face while he took out his English book and turned it to a certain page.

"Okay now if everyone could turn their books to page one-hundred and twenty-six, we'll be discussing some of Shakespeare's most famous plays."

Sasuke was starting to write some things down on the board while everyone was taking notes. A lot of the girls were trying to focus, but they couldn't help but blush whenever they say Sasuke make slight eye contact with them.

Sakura knew that Sasuke was very interested in literature; especially classics that not many people would care about reading. Sakura remembered seeing Sasuke's study room in his house, and it amazed Sakura knowing that Sasuke had hundreds of books.

But Sakura knew that Sasuke was a huge fan of Lewis Carrolls 'Alice in Wonderland', for some reason Sasuke was into American literature; probably because he lived in America when he was of a young age and spent most of his time reading. From the way Sasuke would talk about his childhood; it seemed really…lonely.

"Okay class can anyone tell me the names of the rival families in 'Romeo and Juliet'?" Sasuke asked as he turned to his class.

All the students stayed quiet either because they really didn't know or they just really didn't care. Some students would look away from Sasuke's stare while others just hid their faces by holding their books in front of their noses.

Sasuke sighed and pushed his glasses up, "If no one wants to volunteer themselves then I'll just pick someone out randomly."

Before Sasuke could pick out a student, the door to the classroom opened up to a man holding a clipboard in one hand and a bouquet of flowers in the other.

"Excuse me, I'm sorry to interrupt, but I was told to come to this room so I could deliver these flowers."

Sasuke stared at the man with confusion as he put his book down and made his way towards the door.

"Are you sure you have the right room?" Sasuke asked, irritated because his lecture was interrupted.

"Y-Yes sir; I was told by the office to come to this room."

Sasuke sighed, "Well who are the flowers for?"

The delivery man looked at his clipboard, "It says that these flowers are for a…Haruno, Sakura-san."

Sasuke's eyes widened a bit, as well as Sakura's, while everyone else in class was whispering to each other wondering who the flowers were from.

"Th-The flowers are for….me?" Sakura asked.

The man nodded his head as he went into the classroom and handed the bouquet of flowers to Sakura.

Sakura blushed when she received them from the man; they were all red roses; each one looked like it was freshly picked from a garden. The bouquet was wrapped in white tissue paper, and tied together with one of the biggest yellow bows she had ever seen. Ino and Hinata looked at each other before staring at the beautiful bouquet that Sakura had received.

"I was also told that there is a note that came with it," the man said before leaving the classroom.

Sasuke stared at the scene before him; he didn't send those flowers to Sakura…So who did?

"Sakura, read the note!" Ino said with an excited tone in her voice.

Sakura's hands were fumbling around the bouquet, feeling nervous and embarrassed about the whole situation.

"W-Who are they from Sakura-chan?" Hinata asked.

Sakura was able to find the small card hidden in the beautifully arranged roses. She grabbed it and pulled the card close to her face.

I hope these flowers bring a smile to your face.

-Sai

Sakura blushed as she read the card out loud. All of the students started talking to one another like it was a big deal. Ino smirked at Sakura and Hinata blushed. Sakura's blush soon deepened with all of the attention she was getting when the room was silenced when Sasuke's hand slammed hard onto his desk.

"Okay that's enough!"

All of the students stopped their chatter and faced their teacher with nervous looks on their faces. Sakura flinched and looked at Sasuke who had put his head down; his dark hair covering his eyes.

"Now is not the time to admire Haruno-san's flowers; this is a place for learning not idle chit-chat," Sasuke said before he turned his back towards his students and started writing on the board once again.

All of the students stayed silent as they started copying down what Sasuke was writing on the board; all of them scared to even make a sound.

Sakura's hands clenched the bouquet that was still in her hands; it was obvious to her that Sasuke was upset about the flowers; but she couldn't blame him, she would have felt the same way if the flowers were from Karin to give to Sasuke. What was worse was that they were from Sai.

Sakura sighed as she put the flowers down onto the ground, next to her bag as she started writing down the notes that Sasuke was giving them.

The rest of the time was awkward. The whole time Sasuke was teaching he never once looked at Sakura since she received the flowers; but instead just looked at the bouquet that lay near her feet.

"Okay class, I want you to read chapter seven by tomorrow, and we'll discuss from there; have a good afternoon everyone," Sasuke said as he packed up his case and left the room, not once looking at Sakura.

Sakura watched as Sasuke left the room and felt her heart break; was he angry with her?

"Let me see those flowers," Ino said as she grabbed the bouquet off the ground.

"Th-They're really beautiful," Hinata said as she sniffed the roses.

"Dang, Sai-kun must really like you if he had flowers delivered to you during class," Ino said.

Sakura said nothing as she bit down on her lower lip; trying her hardest not to cry. Her head was down so that no one could tell she was about to cry. Could this day have been any worse?

XOXOXOXO

Sasuke made his way down the hall; his hands clenched into tight fists, and his teeth clenched.

'That kid has a lot of nerve….sending her those flowers,' Sasuke thought as he turned the corner.

Sasuke was pissed. Knowing that some kid named Sai had the nerve to send his Sakura-chan a bouquet of roses while in the middle of class was just asking for a death wish.

But what made Sasuke more upset was the fact that the entire time when Sakura had received those flowers; she had a blush on her face that made his heart feel like it was pulled out of his chest. If he could, Sasuke would send Sakura a flower each and every day; but due to the circumstances he couldn't.

Sasuke then stopped in his tracks and sighed. He was also angry with himself; because after she had received those flowers he ignored her attempts to emotionally show him that she was sorry; he didn't understand why she wanted to apologize; it wasn't her fault.

But Sasuke stole a few glances at her when she wasn't looking up at him, and he saw the sadness in her eyes.

Sasuke then slammed his fist into the wall right next to him. That was twice in one day that he made his cherry blossom upset….And that's when an idea popped in his head. He looked at the clock that was in the hall and nodded.

"Yeah there is still some time," Sasuke said as he turned around and headed towards the other end of the school.

XOXOXOXO

"Huh? You want to run that by me again?" Kiba asked as he set his newspaper down.

Sasuke just stood there in front of his colleague with a serious look on his face.

"You heard me…I upset my girl today and now I want to know…How much for your cutest kitten?"

Me: Dawww! Sasuke, you're such a sweetheart /

Sasuke: *twitch* W-Why are you telling me this? You're the one who wrote it.

Sakura: *sniffles* Sasuke-kun…You're getting me a kitten?

Sasuke: Gah! Y-You aren't supposed to find out yet!

Naruto: Dammit! Will I ever make an appearance!

Me: *sighs* To all my viewers out there; tell me if I should put Naruto in the next chapter or have him wait…

Naruto: Wait! You're letting them choose when I get to go on!

Sasuke: That's what you get for being so impatient baka.

Naruto: NOOOOOOOO!

Me: Please Review :)
