Sakura eyed the three men in front of her. When she woke up, she found herself sandwiched between the two most muscular men she had ever laid her eyes upon. Gaara's head was leaning unto her left shoulder while Sasuke's was on her right shoulder.
It made her disgruntled and amused at the same time.
And to add to her already sappy mode, she had found Neji holding a digital camera while smirking at her. She knew that he already captured many of them. Oh well, Sasuke and Gaara would be after him.
It lessened my appetite to eat when I see them, Sakura grumbled in her mind. As always, she was the one who cooked the breakfast. They said that it was her job as a slave and Sakura was too sleepy to arue at that time so she cooked without argument.
Then, she noticed that they were not drinking their coffee. Sakura frowned darkly. What was wrong with the coffee? If there was something she was expert at, it was making coffee. Were not they affected by the sweet aroma?
"Drink your coffee." Sakura ordered them and glared. She was not feeling well when people did not touch whatever she made.
She was a great cook! The least they could do was to take a sip! It was still early but they were already making her blood boil without making efforts.
The three did not want to explain their actions and Sakura could read that clearly.
They were into their stuck-up mood again. Maybe there was some kind of schedule for that? Sakura would like to get a copy, so that she could avoid.
Sakura ate quietly and ignored them.

Neji and Sasuke walked towards the grocery in silence. It was their common routine when they went to Gaara's condominium. The two of them would go out and buy some food for the three of them.
But they already had another companion now. Sasuke looked at Neji for a while then brought back his attention to the entrance of the grocery. The guard that was supposed to check the belongings of the buyers didn't even speak as the two of them passed.
Neji grabbed a red basket and went into the bread section. Sasuke followed him in silence.
"Neji." Sasuke started as he looked around the bread items.
"What?" Neji dismissively answered him and grabbed a bread of his taste. Neji read the expiration date and the serving size.
When he was finally content with what he had read, he placed the item inside his basket.
Sasuke grabbed an item by random then shoved it in the basket.
The two of them moved towards the meat section.
"Do you like Sakura?" Sasuke finally asked.
Neji went rigid for a while and shook his head. "No. Why?" Neji stared at the Uchiha's expression.
Sasuke looked at him for a while before he walked towards the other section of the grocery.
The white eyed man stared at his back for a while and went on his grocery list.

Sakura stared at the darkening clouds with worry. It was supposed to be sunny because it was summer time! Not cloudy. It was making her worry for her two dark men.
She knew that the grocery was near but the two of them didn't brought with them umbrella. Sakura looked back at Gaara, who was now watching some local flash news. She frowned at him.
Sakura wondered why he could sit like that and wait for his friends like that. Sakura shrugged it away and looked back at the darkening sky. Whatever bonding they had, she would not understand.
Drops of rain started to stain the clean window.
She sighed with a heavy heart.
Sakura should have presented herself to come with them outside. But she was too heavily-hearted towards them because they didn't drink the coffee she made.
"The rain won't stop even if you cry." Sakura jumped at the cold voice as she automatically placed her hand on her heart. Sakura looked back at Gaara and saw the faraway look at his eyes. He stared coldly outside the window with his arms crossed.
Sakura could see what the other girls could see at him. Unfortunately, his looks did not cooperate with his attitude. Looks with bad attitude was not good.
She turned her view towards the city outside.
The view was now blurred because of the impacts of heavy rain.
Even though she was so worried, all she could do now was to wait.

Sasuke grabbed the tissue Sakura was offering with such force. Sakura was not surprised when he did that.
The two of them, named Sasuke and Neji, had been throwing temper tantrum for two hours already. The two of them got wet because of the heavy rain, and the two didn't bring any umbrellas with them.
When they arrived, Sakura rushed towards the two as they unceremoniously dropped their grocery bags on the floor. Gaara watched them with keen interest as he continued to sip his orange juice quietly.
Then, Sakura discovered that the two of them were burning in fever.
So, now, her patients were now placed on their bed with a frown. It looked like they didn't want to be treated. Sakura frowned at this. They should not worry about their ego.
Colds and fever do not usually affect one's strength.
"Get out." Sasuke hissed unhappily and glared at Sakura's smiling face. She was annoying him! His health was not her responsibility at all.
It was his and his alone.
Sakura pouted at him and touched his forehead. Sasuke decided flinch away from her. Sakura growled at him and placed her hands on her hips. "If you want to get healty, you should sleep." Sakura scolded him before she leaned towards him. When their faces were only inches apart, she smiled sweetly at him.
Sasuke seemed to be taken a back at her and he said nothing. "Get well soon, Sasuke-kun."
That was all he heard then his vision blackened.

"Neji-niichan, please take your tablets. Sasuke-kun drank his without a fight." The two of them knew that she was lying.
"No." Neji said and he looked away from her. He could manage without drinking anything. All he needed to do was to lay on his bed and wait until the fever was gone.
"Aw, come on."
Neji was surprised when a cold hand grasped his face and turned it.
He immediately glared to her and said, "What are you--"
Sakura took advantage of the opening of his mouth and shoved two tablets of anti-fever inside her mouth. She immediately grabbed the warm water by the bedside table. She slowly let Neji swallow the pill.
"When the glass was empty, she placed it back by the bedside table. Sakura smiled and patted his head sweetly. Neji swatted
Sakura's hand and glared at her hard.
"Get well soon!"
With that, she went out of the room.

"You don't need to do that." Gaara said at her as she passed him at the dining table. Sakura placed the two empty glass of water on the sink.
She acknowledged him nonetheless. "I know." Sakura started to wash the dished quietly. She felt good in nursing the two sick patients. It was times like this she felt that she was not worthless.
Sakura didn't saw the way Gaara looked at her because her back faced him.
Gaara looked away and stood up, leaving the pink-haired girl alone in the kitchen.
