A/N: Three more pages for ya. "The Make Up", "The Make Out 3", and "The 'Lesson'".

Despite Kakashi's efforts, Sasuke was still distraught about hurting Sakura. The Uchiha prodigy shouldn't make mistakes like that! Not with Sakura! Anyone but Sakura...He didn't know how to face her, and the next day – after she hadn't called or stopped by his house or anything to let him know they were okay – he didn't. He avoided her. In class, he kept his eyes down until he had virtually memorized every knot and line in the wooden desks. He spent the entire day in concentrated silence, giving him plenty of time to kick himself.

He sat alone in the courtyard at lunch break, not feeling very hungry and not eating. He was so absorbed in his guilt that he didn't even hear her approach.

Sakura sat next to him, drawing her knees to her chest. He glanced up at her, or rather at the thin cast on her left hand and wrist.

"Hey," she said, not facing him either.

"Hey," Sasuke muttered in return.

For a while, neither of them spoke. Then Sasuke turned to her and wrapped his arms around her; she soon returned the gesture, hugging him tightly to her.

"Sakura," he said, "I am so, so sorry." Sakura turned her head into his neck. He could feel her warm breath on his skin.

"It's alright," she said. "And thank you."

Sasuke pulled back slightly to face her.

"For what?"

Sakura smiled. "For protecting me against Neji," she said.

Sasuke's face dropped, his dark eyes clouding over again with anger, and he turned away from her.

Sakura caught his arm as he tried to pull away and held it around her as she threw her arms around his neck.

"Sakura-"

"I'm fine. I was just shocked at first, but I swear to God I was never mad at you," she said. She felt his arms wrap back around her.

"You swear?" he pressed.

Sakura nodded.

He pulled back to look at her and saw the sincerity in her eyes. He shook his head with relief, sighing – also taking note that she was nicely situated between his legs.

"Good," and he pressed his lips to hers, not waiting long to prod his tongue into her mouth. Her hands wandered down his neck and chest...

For a fleeting second, Sasuke opened his eyes and caught a glimpse of orange and blue heading in their direction. He started to say "Shit!" but found he couldn't as his tongue was still entangled with Sakura's. He drew back quickly and pulled her to her feet.

"Come on," he said, taking her by the hand and dragging her off grounds.

"Sasuke, what're you doing!" she asked.

"Naruto was coming," Sasuke said, turning a corner.

"So?" Sakura asked.

"We can't kiss in front of him."

"So?"

Sasuke finally stopped in an empty backstreet and took her in his arms again.

"I'm not done."

They stayed there for quite a while. Panting, Sasuke finally sat them up with Sakura straddling his lap; he pulled out of her mouth and began kissing down her neck. Sakura arched her back, then after a moment, pushed him back to the ground, moving her lips over his bare chest.

"Sakura..." Sasuke moaned, his body tensing and untensing beneath her. His eyelids fluttered open for a moment, and he caught a glimpse of the sky. "Sakura," he repeated, louder this time, to get her attention.

"Hmm?" Sakura looked up at him.

Sasuke sat them up, gazing at the sky.

"Oh, shit..." he said under his breath.

"What? What is it?" Sakura asked, moving off of him.

"Come on."

Sasuke took her hand and pulled her to her feet. He rushed around the corner, pulling his shirt on as he ran, and looked inside the nearest store.

"Damn it!" he said, looking at the clock behind the counter. They were nearly an hour late for class.

Sakura came up behind him and followed his gaze. "Oh, shit..."

The two ran all the way back to the academy, bursting into the classroom disheveled and out of breath. The sensei wasn't in the room at the moment, and they walked in slowly as though trying to blend in.

It didn't work.

"Where the hell where you two? Kakashi-sensei just went looking for you!" Naruto asked, apparently speaking to them again. Almost double-taking, he looked them both over. "...Were you guys mugged?"

"Uh..." They looked at each other, wondering what to say.

"We were...uh...studying! We lost track of time," Sakura said quickly.

Sasuke stared at her incredulously.

"Studying?" he said lowly so only she could hear, disbelief evident in his voice.

"Sure, why not," she replied in a whisper.

Naruto shrugged, buying it, and sat back down.

The two were heading to their seats, hoping to shirk the whole thing off.

"Sasuke...dude, your shirt's on backwards," Shikamaru said, chuckling. "And inside-out."

"Busted," Kiba said lowly; Akamaru barked in agreement.

"Ohmigod!" Ino exclaimed, leaning over her desk to gawk at them.

Naruto scratched his head. "I don't get it."

Sasuke cursed under his breath and pulled his shirt off, turning it around. Unfortunately, there was yet another hint as to their tardiness on his chest.

"HOLY – Oh my God!" Naruto screamed in realization.

"Mother of..." Shikamaru said, staring.

Sasuke pulled his shirt on quickly.

"Fuck you guys," he muttered.

Sakura was covering her reddened face with her hands.

Sasuke sat down beside her, running his hand through his hair.

"Dude, that's wicked," Kiba laughed, shaking his head.

"Don't say a word," Sasuke warned. "We'll get our asses kicked."

"So, what, you'll just say you were so busy studying you didn't realize the time?" Shino said, looking at them over the rim of his shades.

"Eh...yeah?" Sakura said, combing her fingers through her hair. She froze suddenly. "Oh, shit," she said.

"What is it?" Sasuke asked.

"Your-"

Just then, Kakashi entered with his hands behind his back.

"Ah, good! You've found your way back," he said sadistically, standing in front of their desk.

"H-heh heh! Yeah, would you believe it? We were, uh, studying, and-" Sakura began, struggling to form an elaborate tale on the spot.

"Studying, huh?" Kakashi said. "Well, that's strange, because in all my years at this academy, I have never heard of kids studying in the alleyway behind the bookstore before."

"Jesus, in an alley?" Shikamaru hissed.

Kiba made a sound that was half-way between a laugh and a gasp, and Ino could only emit a strange squeaking noise from high in her throat.

Sasuke frowned down at the desktop.

Kakashi turned to the class.

"Here's a little lesson in ninjutsu, everyone," and he moved his hands from behind his back and held up a hitai-ate headband. "Don't leave a trail."

Everyone laughed. Sasuke glanced at Sakura, who shrugged apologetically.

"I just realized you forgot it..." she said.

Kakashi dropped it in front of Sasuke.

"Detention. One week," he said simply.

"Hn," they sighed, dropping their heads.

Kakashi walked to the front of the class.

"Someday, you'll all look back at this and laugh," he said lightly.

"I'm laughing already," Shikamaru said.

Sakura shook her head, her hand over her mouth.

Sasuke retied his headband, sighing.

"Yeah, here's another lesson in ninjutsu," he said, turning towards the others. "It's a very, very powerful hand combination that you should all know." He raised his middle finger.

"Screw you, Shikamaru."
