Chapter 10 – Sakura's Chapter

It was a bad day. From the moment I woke up I knew it was going to be a bad day. There is nothing like waking up covered in your own blood except waking up seeing you covered your bedmate with your blood as well. I was fourteen and still not sure when my "time" was supposed to happen. Now Itachi was punished as well. Why do I sleep with my legs wrapped around him? If I had been a space loving sleeper he would not have been soiled. If I had been one not afraid of sleeping alone during thunderstorms he wouldn't be drenched.

"Itachi-nii-san," I poked his chest.

"Hmm?" he didn't open his eyes.

"I'm sorry."

"What for?" He stayed relaxed then his eyes snapped open, He pushed me away and saw the blood.

"What happened?" Why did he have to ask?

"I'm sorry I didn't know it was coming," I apologized.

"It's okay. It's just like when you used to wet the bed. Go shower and change and I'll clean this all up before my mother finds out," He was so calm and got out of bed, Most guys would freak out but Itachi was a doctor and understanding.

I rushed out of Itachi's room and headed towards my designated room. Then Sasuke-kun walked out of his room. He was so cute with his bedhead and pajamas. But this was no time for him to see me!

"Sakura?" He looked at me weird then his eyes travelled down. I looked down as well. Why did I have to be wearing white?

I ran away to my room. He saw me! He saw everything! It was terrible! I showered and changed all the while crying. I couldn't believe Sasuke-kun saw me like that! I laid down on my bed mortified and passed out.

"I better make Sakura's b-Sakura!" Mikoto's vice woke me up.

"Oba-san!" I sat up.

"Sakura, I thought you already left. Sasuke's been gone for an hour."

"An hour! I'm so late!" I had to scurry around and put on school clothes. I ran out of the house and kept running towards school. How could I have slept so late!

I made it to school but it was had started long ago. Had to walk to the school office. I can't believe I was so late on the second day of school. The office lady did not seem pleased at my tardiness.

"Name?"

"Sakura Haruno."

"Why are you late, Sakura Haruno?" She asked not even looking at me.

"I-" I didn't want to tell her I got my period and overslept but I didn't want to lie especially when I had nothing to support me.

"She was with me," Someone lied for me. I turned and saw Kakashi-Sensei.

"Kakashi!" The office lady almost squealed.

"She was with me. I needed some help so she volunteered. I hope that will excuse her," He went on.

"Sure thing," She smiled at him and gave me an excused slip.

"Thanks," He pushed my back so we moved.

"Thank you, Kakashi-sensei. You've saved me again," I bowed to him once we were far enough away from the office.

"Again?" He raised an eyebrow.

"You saved me a couple years ago at the beach. I was drowning and you gave me…" I blushed remembering how he saved me…by taking my first kiss. That kiss was meant for Sasuke-kun then this guy came in and stole it. He did save my life by doing it but still… a girl's first kiss shouldn't be with a complete stranger. It should be with her love.

"mouth-to-" He covered my mouth before I could finish.

"Let's forget about that. I can't have rumors about me kissing students, now can I?"

I nodded.

"Okay. I'll see you later in class then, Sakura," He left me. I had to go to class. Looking at the time, I saw it was Ebisu-Sensei time. I hated him. Why couldn't I have missed his class?

"Oh, nice of you to finally join us, Miss Haruno," He snorted when I entered. I gave him my pass which displeased him. I looked at the class and frowned to see Ino had gotten my seat next to Sasuke-kun.

"Well, since you're late, you must have been studying hard for this class. Why don't you go ahead and solve the equation on the board."

The board was covered in a bunch of numbers and symbols that I didn't recognize. I looked about the room form help. I went from Sasuke-kun to Ino to even Naruto but he was asleep. No one could help me. I tried it.

"42?" I guessed hopefully. Ebisu-sensei laughed at me.

"No. Does anyone know the correct answer?" Ebisu-sensei asked. Only Sasuke-kun raised his hand.

"Come up here then, Mr. Uchiha."

Sasuke-kun walked up to the board and erased my answer. He then put the number 97.

"Correct!" Ebisu-sensei applauded Sasuke-kun. Sasuke-kun looked at me with a bored expression.

"Now explain how you did it," our teacher said.

"Even an idiot should be able to figure it out," Sasuke-kun walked away. Was he calling me an idiot? I wanted to run away.

"He's right. Take a seat, Miss Haruno."

I went to the only free desk which was beside the sleeping Naruto. I wished I hadn't woken up. I wished I were back in bed with Itachi holding me close.

Eventually, class let out and I went to my other classes. I began feeling a little weak and very hunger by the time lunch came since I didn't eat breakfast and I was experiencing my time. I didn't pack a lunch so I had to buy lunch or beg. I had no money on me and so after telling Hinata that I would be right back, I went to find Naruto who was sitting with Sasuke-kun.

"Hi," I waved to them.

"Sakura-chan!" Naruto grinned. Sasuke-kun ignored me.

"Naruto, I was wondering if I could…borrow some money," I wanted to die. I had to ask Naruto for money for food.

"Sure! What is it for?" He pulled out his wallet.

"I kind of forgot to pack lunch…" I felt bad because that had happened to Naruto the day before and I didn't help him out at all. I hoped he'd have mercy on me.

"I see," He was gracious then frowned. He gave me a sheepish grin, "I'm out of money."

"Oh, that's okay. Thanks anyway," I left them. I wouldn't ask Sasuke-kun for money.

"Are you okay, Sakura?" Hinata asked me when I returned to the table. I noticed Kiba and Shino had joined the table as they were Hinata's new friends.

"Oh, yes. I'm fine," I lied.

"Why aren't you eating?" Kiba asked.

"I'm dieting," I lied again. He accepted it.

"I don't think that is very healthy, Sakura," Hinata stated.

"I'll be fine," I waved it off. I could barely focus on the others during lunch and I don't know how I managed to walk to science class. I took a seat between Naruto and Hinata. I rubbed my head as we waited for Kakashi-sensei to appear. He walked in carrying his Ich-Icha book. He started the class. I tried to take notes but eventually just rested my head and in my hands. I was going to eat a lot when I got back to the Uchiha house. Class ended and I went to the next class and then school was finally over. The hardest trek of the day was left before me: walking home. I stood at the school entrance prepared to walk then as if to torment me more, it began to rain. I had no coat or umbrella. I stepped out into the rain and began my walk. Then it got worse.

BOOM!

BOOM!

I covered my ears and tried to run but my legs were too weak to run. I sloshed through the rain for what seemed hours before I finally arrived at the Uchiha house. I wanted to pass out right there but that would freak Mikoto out. I made it to the kitchen. I knew that as soon as I got some food in me that I would be fine. I grabbed one of Sasuke-kun's protein bars as I knew it would have good nutrients in it. It tasted like bark but it was food. I crashed on the couch and fell asleep.

I woke up in my bed and in the dark. The storm had stopped but everything was dark. I was no longer in my wet clothes either. I questioned my actions. Had I gotten up and changed? I looked to the clock on the night stand and saw it was almost eleven o'clock. I then notice a bowl of soup on the table as well. Mikoto must have done this. She was so sweet. I ate the somehow warm soup and went down the stairs to put in the dishwasher. Mikoto was still awake.

"Oba-san," I hugged her.

"Sakura, what are you doing up?"

"I just woke up. Thanks for fixing me soup and changing my clothes for me," I smiled.

"What? I didn't do that," She looked at me strangely.

"You didn't?"

"No. You had a do not disturb sign on your door so I didn't disturb you. Are you okay?"

"Yeah. I'm fine. I guess it was a dream. Well, good night then," I left her. Who had taken me to my room, changed me and made me soup? Who put the do not disturb sign on my door? Itachi? No, he was supposed to work from two in the afternoon to six in the morning. Fugaku? I hope not. That'd creep me out. It wasn't it Mikoto. That only left Sasuke-kun! Did he take care of me? No! He wouldn't have done that. I must have just done it and forgot. Still, how was the soup still warm? I was tired and needed some more sleep. So I crawled into bed hoping for a better tomorrow.
