"Sasu? Are you ok now?" Sakura asked peering worriedly into Sasuke's face. The flush had gone, and his head wasn't that hot.
"...I think so. C'mon, lets get up. I'll make breakfast. Besides we're running late." Sasuke said rolling out of bed. Sakura grinned, she was so hungry after skipping lunch and dinner yesterday. And at least Sasuke wasn't snapping back at her. She followed him out the room, and did something she hadn't done in a long time. She linked hands with him.
Slipping her fingers into his hand, he looked down at her and then just focused on the task ahead. But secretly inside, he was pleased that Sakura had linked hands with him. When was the last time she had done this simple act? When Itachi left, two years ago. He squeezed her hand gently and walked into the kitchen.
Rummaging through the fridge he found...nothing. He put a hand to his head, he didn't turn around. Sakura waited expectantly on a booth, watching him. Sasuke reddened a bit, he didn't want to tell Sakura he forgot to shopping for supplies again.
"Er...um Sakura?" He said still not turning around.
"Yeah?"
"Uh...we kinda...don't have any food...?" It ended like a question. He turned around and didn't meet her eyes. He could already feel her smoldering glare burning into his head. For someone so small, she got really scary. Scarier than him, and thats one fact Sasuke had grudgingly came to accept.
"...Sasu?"
"Um...yeah?"
"You forgot to go shopping right?" Her small voice accused him.
"Em...not quite...I mean...uh.." His voice petered out. He looked at her, she was shaking with anger.
"...You forgot right?"
"..." He went red.
"Forgot!" She concluded. "Sasu! I'm HUNGRY!!"
"...Er, I'll pick something up on the way ok?"
"...Starbucks or the deal is off." Sakura learned how to nail people with deals they had to accept. Whether they wanted to or not. Guess where she learned that from...
"B,but that place is so expensive!" He protested.
"You didn't buy food." She reminded him.
Sasuke sighed, knowing he lost. He picked up his keys and Sakura followed closely behind, smirking her victory. Sakura loved Starbucks, once Sasuke had bought her hot chocolate and she had never forgotten the taste. They stepped outside, it was a chilly, gray November day. Kinda like days in London.
Sasuke grumbled the whole time they were going. Never again would he forget to buy food. They arrived at the cafe, Sakura hopped up and down with excitement. Sighing with reluctance, Sasuke opened the door, letting the smell of freshly baked goods and coffee waft out.
Sakura put her nose to the smell. She loved it, it almost felt like home. The cafe was warm and cozy, compared to outside.
"What do you want?" Sasuke asked.
She pointed and he looked, and quickly placed their order.
Soon, two white hot chocolates were placed on the counter.
"Never am I doing that again." Sasuke muttered grimly. He looked down at her. She had a milk moustache, he had to smile at that. Grinning, he wiped it of with his thumbs.
She giggled, sipping the hot drink slowly. She felt so warm and contented inside, especially being arond Sasuke. Somehow, her being sick had really brought both of them together. She really didn't know Sasuke could make people feel so loved. She smirked.
Sasuke dropped her off, and explained her tardiness quickly to the teacher. She nodded quickly and he ran, already late for first period.
The class was already sitting around on the floor.
"Good morning Sakura, you're just in time for story time." Iruka sensei said warmly.
"Sorry I'm late." She mumbled and sat next to Naruto.
"Hi Sakura chan!" Naruto greeted her enthusiastically.
She smiled and put and finger to her lips. "Story time is starting."
Ok, since most of you wanted to skip time, here is a rough sketch of Sakura's life in elementary school.
First grade:
-A new student called Tenten arrives.
-Ino and starts to go to Sakura's house, they have lots of sleepovers and playdates.
-At the same time, they start having 'boyfriends'. Sakura chooses Naruto, Ino chooses Shikamaru. They pretend to 'kiss', when its actually just one on the cheek.
Second Grade:
-The 'boyfriend' fad, wears off and all of them start to focus more on studies.
-Sakura asks Sasuke that really uncomfortable question of where she came from. She leaves his room with lots of question marks above her head.
-This year, Sakura forces Sasuke to take her to the beach. Sasuke teaches Sakura how to swim.
-Tenten and Hinata become one of Sakura's closest friends, though not as close as Ino and Naruto.
Third Grade:
-Sakura is bullied by a girl called Ami. Ends up getting suspended for a day for calling her a 'bitch'.
-Sasuke is tempted to go after the bitch, but Sakura tells him not to.
-Sakura is offered to move up a grade, but she refuses.
Fourth Grade:
-Start of sex ed...
-Boys start to go immature.
-Suna children arrive.
-Ino starts to notice Sasuke, and gushes about him to Sakura. Much to her annoyance.
Its the last month of fifth grade for Sakura, the next year she moves into middle school...
"Hey Naruto! Wanna hang out this afternoon?" Sakura said as she slung her messenger bag over her shoulder.
"Nah, can't. Got detention again." He said glumly.
"Again?" Sakura said half amused. "What for? This is like the fifth time in a row."
"Oh you know, they usual." Naruto said yawning.
"C'mon, its friday. You know we always hang out friday. Skip and come over, pleeease?" She said.
"Kakashi will kill me." Naruto whined.
"What? You would rather spend an afternoon with a perv, than me? I'm insulted." Sakura said hand over heart in mock pain.
"Ok...When can I come over?" He asked.
"Now!" Sakura yelled and grabbed his arm.
Together they ran toward Sakura's home. It had become a daily routine to go to Sakura's house on Friday to sleepover, except when Naruto had detention. Then Sakura would invite Ino over. Ino was her best friend but she was really Sasuke crazy. She once proposed that they steal a pair of his boxers and sell them on eBay.
Sakura unlocked the door and let Naruto go in first. She noticed Sasuke was already home, shrugging off her bag she led Naruto upstairs to deposit their bags.
"New sheets?" Naruto questioned, pointing to her bed.
"Yeah, they're so cute." SHe said pulling back the covers so Naruto could see more. It was the pattern of cherry blossoms falling.
"Hmmm...cute, but not masculine enough." He pretended to say in a mock serious voice.
"Ha, funny. Not!" Sakura said going downstairs. Naruto followed watching her from behind. Oh, Sakura was so pretty. He loved how her hair gracefully reached just before her waist. He loved how it shined like diamonds ever since she was a kid. He loved her sense of humour and how she could make him feel cared. He loved how sweet she was. But never could he tell her that. He knew she would freak if she knew her best friend was crushing on her. So for now, he had to be her friend. Even if it killed him.
"Naruto?...Naruto?" Sakura said waving a hand in front of his face.
"...What?Oh...sorry." He said snapping out of his thoughts, blushing slightly.
"Why are you blushing?" She asked teasingly.
"I-Nothing!" He said quickly, going a shade darker.
"C'mon tell me! I'm your best friend right?"
"...Its nothing." He said evasively.
"Please?"
"...I was thinking of...you." He said oh so romatically and sceptically that Sakur laughed. She turned to the fridge.
"Pathetic liar you are. So what do you want?"
"...?" He said.
"Like for a snack."
"Anything."
"Hold on a sec. I can't find the apple juice. I think Sasuke hid them. I'll be right back!"
"Ok...I'll just wait then." But Sakura was already gone.
Sakura's POV:
She arrived panting on the landing to their rooms. She went up to his door and tried to open it. Locked...how odd. Sasuke never locked his door. She knocked, still no reply. What the hell was he doing in there? She put an ear to his door.
"Mmm...oh! Sa, sasuke..."
"Faster!...Harder! Please...please..."
"Mmm...Sasuke kun!"
A girl? A girl was here? What was she doing in Sasuke's room? Sakura wondered.
"Aaah Karin!" Came Sasuke's voice.
Hn, what the hell were they doing? Well she was going to interupt whether like it or not. She banged hard on his door. She swore later she heard a cracking noise. Sasuke fianlly opened it coming out half naked.
"What do you want?" He said coldly.
"Apple juice." She said with the lack of emotion that almost even amazed the Uchiha.
"Well...I'm kind of busy here."
"What are you doing anyway?" Sakura said craning her head trying to see over and into the room. She caught sight of a girl and the curves of her body. She blushed a bit. She asked Sasuke to lower his head to her level. He complied grudgingly.
"Were you doing...it?" She whispered a little fearfully in his ear. He just grinned and told her to run along. Sakura ran back downstairs nearly tripping on the way. She arrived at the kitchen breathless and a little stunned. Well, she knew he could have sex, being fifteen. But there was a world of difference between eleven and fifteen.
"Sakura chan? Are you ok?" Naruto said hopping of his stool.
"I, I think so...I...Sasuke...he..." She said.
"I, Sasuke, he?" Naruto questioned.
"...I, Sasuke...he...he was..."
"He was what?" Naruto said a little impatiently.
"He..he...was having...sex..." She whispered in an undertone as if the word would curse her. Naruto stared at her then burst out laughing.
"Haha! He...teme...was having sex!? Who would want to do THAT with HIM?" He said between gasping laughs.
"Well obviously somebody...That was a nasty topic by the way." She knew all about sex after learning about it in graphic detail this year. She was blushing all day, and the fact they had to take the lesson with the guys who acted as immature as their british foot size. (Which incidently, would be tiny.) She thought she would never get over it.
"Heh, I remember that! I also remember Kiba drooling over the pictures." Naruto said with a sly glance at Sakura. Sakura noticed the gaze and furiously countered.
" I do NOT like Kiba! How many times do I have to tell you?" She said a little red faced.
"Are you sure?"
"...Shut up..."
"Hey I found the apple juice!" Sakura said as her gaze landed on the most dark and hard to make out corner of the kitchen.
At night:
"...Sakura" You awake?" Naruto asked as he lay sort of beside her.
Sakura slept on her bed and Naruto slept below on a different mattress. It was awkward having a sleepover with a boy, but neither of them cared. Naruto was her best friend and she didn't think of him as a boy or a girl. Just a friend. But they both had the common sense not to go blabbing to people that they had sleepovers together.
"Yeah. What's wrong?"
"...Why does Sasuke hate me?" He asked as he stared at the ceiling watching the moonlight dance across it. Sakura turned and looked at him.
"What makes you say that?"
"I dunno...I can just tell..." He muttered morosely.
Sakura opened her covers and patted the space next to her. It was their small routine, they started out on separate beds, but always ended up together by day break. It was usually Sakura's bed.
Naruto slipped in beside her. Sakura felt a smile tug on her lips. She didn't know why, but when Naruto was sleeping next to her, she felt warm and safe. It felt...nostalgic almost. As if she had done this before...
"What are you smiling for?" He asked sleepily.
"Oh...nothing. Lets get some sleep."
" 'k...G'night." He managed to mumble out before closing his eyes.
" 'Night." She whispered.
