Chapter 7: He'll Get Better
Neji slept with an uneasy mind.
It started to rain a little while later.
Sasuke looked outside his window.
He looked at his bedside table and looked at the alarm clock.
11:34? Time passes by so fast… he thought as he looked back outside.
He lay down on his bed.
Suddenly the thought of Sakura rushed through him.
Sasuke-kun…
He could hear that childish voice inside his head.
He shook up and stood up.
He took a shirt and put it on.
He was already wearing shorts so there was no need to get one.
He took his slippers and started to go out of his room. He walked down the stairs to the first floor and opened the front door quietly. He walked outside in the pouring rain and tried to keep his mind barred to thoughts. He passed the public library, the park, a few restaurants and then he passed Sakura's house. He thought about something and went back and stood in front of her house.
He looked at her bedroom window.
A faint light was on in her room.
He figured it could've been the bedside lamp.
//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\
Sakura turned on her bed but couldn't sleep.
She sat up on her bed.
She was wearing an oversized shirt and some mini shorts which made her look like she wasn't wearing any shorts cause' of her shirt.
She looked outside her window, still on her bed and sighed.
She loved the rain. She does. But somehow now wasn't the right time for the rain to pour down on her.
She stood up, stretched and looked outside the window.
Cause' there no lights outside their house, she wasn't able to picture out the figure that was standing just in front of their house.
//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\
Sasuke saw her by the window trying to make his figure out so he walked away.
He didn't look back.
What the heck is this feeling?... Sasuke thought once more.
It seemed like he could barr his thoughts to other things but when it came to Sakura… he couldn't.
//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\
Sakura tapped on window as if telling the figure to wait.
The figure was gone when she finally thought about going downstairs to help the person there.
She lowered her head and felt guilty.
"What's wrong with me?" she asked herself.
She lay down back on her bed.
She couldn't help that person. What was bothering her?
//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\
The following day Sasuke woke up feeling a bit woozy.
He took a bath and got dressed.
He left the house and headed for school.
As soon as he got out of his car at school, girls swarmed him.
"Sasuke, how have you been!" a girl screamed.
"Did we keep you waiting for us all these weeks? Were sorry!" another girl cried out.
He ignored them and walked pass the gates. His head was sore and he couldn't afford letting his head ache more.
"Why don't you just leave that bitch Sakura and come with me?" a girl near him said seductively.
That was it!
Sasuke looked at her angrily.
The girl took a step back in surprise.
"At least she's not total whores like you bitch" he said angrily and he continued to walk away from them.
The girl cried and ran away.
//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\
The girl ran to the bathroom and cried her heart out.
"Ishize… don't cry" a girl outside said trying to comfort her. She couldn't come in since the girl named Ishize locked the bathroom door.
"Don't worry about me Ashiza… I'm going to get Sasuke somehow… someday."
//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\
Sasuke met the group by their usual spot and as soon as he sat down, he massaged his forehead.
"Good morning!" all of them said.
"Ohayo Sasuke-kun!" Sakura said brightly.
Everyone stared at Sakura then at Sasuke and put a smile on their faces.
"-Kun?" Ino said merrily.
"Long story" Sakura said happily.
Ino put up her two hands and pushed thin air.
"I get it. I'll leave you on your privacy" she said as she smiled and turned around to Shikamaru and whispered. "We need to know that story!" Shikamaru rolled his eyes and sighed.
Sasuke just smiled in reply to Sakura but then started to cough.
"Are you okay Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked standing up a bit to lean closer to him and pat his back.
"Yeah…"
Classes eventually began after a few minutes and they got to their classrooms.
Kakashi was lecturing about something that was built in the 13th century and how it crumbled down during the 18th century.
Sasuke coughed and was shivering on his seat.
Sakura looked at him worriedly.
"Are you sure you're okay? What have you been doing?" Sakura asked as she once again pat his back.
"Yeah… I've been busy with some things lately." Sasuke explained.
During lunch they ate at their usual spot.
"You look pale Sasuke…" Tenten said after taking a bite from her cake.
"Just the sun" he explained.
"But your sweating all over" Sakura said more worriedly.
"I'll go get some water." Sasuke said. He stood up and walked towards the canteen. After walking a fair 3 meters away from their table, he fainted.
Sakura stood up instantly and kneeled beside Sasuke's body.
She put her hand on his forehead.
"Shit! He's burning!" Sakura said.
//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\
Sasuke woke up in a familiar room where he'd only seen and been once.
That was he fell down the stairs and passed out after hitting his head on the edge of the 2nd stair.
He tried to straighten his view and blinked a few time.
He looked by the window to find Sakura there.
She was looking outside hugging herself and he heard her sigh.
He moaned after a streaking pain suddenly passed his head.
Sakura looked at him and ran hurriedly to him.
"Sasuke!" she said with tears in her eyes. "You passed out a few hours ago and you were burning hot. I didn't know what to do and-"she was cut off when Sasuke put a finger on her lips.
"Thank you Sakura" he said tiredly.
There was a long moment of silence.
"You shouldn't have walked in the rain late last night…" Sakura said.
Sasuke was surprised.
"How did you know it was me?" Sasuke asked.
"I'm not sure. I was reassuring things myself until now that you admit that it was really you who was standing just outside my house last night." She said hugging herself tighter.
//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\//-.♥.-\
"How's Sasuke?" Naruto asked.
"He's gonna be okay… just a few days of rest and he'll get better" she explained.
Naruto sighed in relief.
"What happened?" Tenten asked.
"He's got a fever. He walked in the rain last night."
"How did you know?" Ino asked.
"I saw him outside our house last night." She said to Ino.
Her tears fell once more. "If only I went down from my room and invited him in then maybe this wouldn't have happened."
"It's okay Sakura… the nurse said he'll get better." Hinata said patting her back.
After a few minutes Sakura smiled, wiped her tears and nodded.
Sasuke was absent for 3 days.
Everyday during dismissal the group would visit him and tell him stories about what happened at school that day. Mostly Sakura did all the talking so he was usually smiling.
After 4 whole days he got better and went to school that Friday.
"Great! You got well just in time for the sleepover tonight!" Ino said happily.
Classes ended rather slow for the group since they were so excited about the sleepover this night.
