Chapter ten: Sasuke to the rescue

Mia opened the door to Sasuke's office. "Sasuke…ummm…" She said. "….Saia Misaki won't be in work today. Her son said she has a cold. I wanted to talk to her to make sure but he yelled at me for talking too much."

Flashback

"This is Mia and how may I help you?" She asked.

"Hi, it's me again…" Kyo said politely. "…I'm just calling in sick for my mother today. She caught a cold last night and it's pretty bad."

"And who are you?"

"I'm Kyo…" He said. "…I'm Saia Misaki's son…"

"Oh…" She said. "…so you're the one that yelled at me and hung up the phone…" Mia said as she bit into her bagel. "…I'm going to need to talk to your mother for confirmation…"

"She's sleeping…" He said.

"Well I still need to talk to your mother… its part of the rules that is she's not coming in she should call herself…"

"I'm sorry…" Kyo said and she smiled at his apology but he wasn't finished. "…maybe you didn't hear me…my mother has a cold and she's sleeping and I don't think she's in any condition to talk right now…"

"I'm sorry but I still need to talk to your mother…" Mia said not wanting to argue with this little boy. "…the rules are…"

"I don't give two shits of what the rules are…" Kyo yelled, he could no longer take it. "…you listen to me, lady…" He said. "…my mom has a 102.7 fever and she is not well to talk to anyone right now so you can shove the rules in someone's ass and tell her boss that she is sick and will return tomorrow if she's feeling well…god why do you have to make it so difficult?" And then he hung up without saying another word.

Mia pulled the phone away from her ear and stared at it.

End

"Wow he said that?" Sasuke asked and she nodded. "He must really love his mother for calling in sick for her…"

"He scared the hell out of me…" She said. "…. I could never win over an argument…."

Sasuke laughed. "….did you know he's only 12?" Sasuke asked.

"Really?" She said. "He sounds older when he gets mad and it kind of sound like someone I know…" She said and Sasuke raised an eyebrow.

"I never heard him got mad before…." Sasuke said. "….who does he sound like?"

"He sounds like you…." She said. "….except a little more violent. I could tell he was going to yell when I needed to talk to his mother…"

"He's actually a really nice boy but when it gets to his mother he gets overprotective…" He said.

"I noticed…." She said before leaving the room.

'She said he sounds like me when he yells…awkward…'

It was late afternoon when Kyo and Kara got home with groceries. Kyo dropped the bags on the kitchen table and walked to his mother's room to see how she's doing. When he got in she was sitting up in the bed and reading a book. "Mom, you should be sleeping…" Kyo said and Sakura looked up from her book and looked at him.

"I felt a little better so I just thought I should read a book…" She said as she watched him take out the thermometer.

"Open…" He said as she opened her mouth and he placed the thermometer in her mouth and under her tongue. While he waited he pressed his hand to her forehead again. It was warm so she should feel a little better. "….how are you feeling today?" He asked in a doctor kind of tone.

"I am doing just fine…Dr. Misaki…." She said and he laughed and took out the thermometer. "…how am I doing?"

"101.4…." He said.

"Well what are your suggestions, Doctor?" She laughed again.

"Well…" He started. "….you should take some Tylenol and drink two cups of water and then in…" He looked at the clock. "….15 minutes you should take a warm shower and get into bed and I'll go make you some soup…." He said and he was about to leave until he heard her talk again.

"Are you sure you don't want to be a cop because women are all over cops…" She laughed and he looked at her.

"Nope…" He said. "….I am going to be a doctor because when my wife gets pregnant I'll know what's going on and not be some nervous husband on the side…. I'll be her own personal doctor. No other male doctors will be between her legs when she gives birth or I'm going to have to kill someone…."

"Protective aren't we?" She laughed and he smiled at her.

"I am your son…." He said before walking out of the room.

'He really is a smart kid…'

The next day Sakura felt 110 percent better. She felt like she was never sick. 'He really is meant to be a doctor.' She thought because when she did all the things he said yesterday she slept like a baby. Kyo walked into her room to see how she was doing. He stuck the thermometer into her mouth and pulled it out when it beeped. "94.2…" He said. "….it's safe to say that you can go to work today, mom…."

"Thank you doctor Kyo Yuki Misaki…." She said as they both laughed.

"For future reference…" He stopped laughing. "….if I do become your doctor I'd prefer Misaki other than Yuki…." He said making her laugh. "….now get ready we have to leave in a half hour."

Sakura sat there and laughed for a little while until she remembered that kiss Sasuke gave her a couple of days ago. It was soft and gentle but at the same time it was passionate just like she remembered it was. Some times it makes her wonder if Sasuke was trying to forget about her. Maybe that's why he kissed her. He was trying to forget about the old Sakura.

She was kind of disappointed that she wasn't able to kiss back while she can but at the same time maybe it was best if she didn't kiss him back because she knows where every kiss ends up. Make outs, touching, house, bed, clothes sheddi…and the list goes on and that's why she's here right now in this situation.

Sakura walked into the office with a red tank top and a pair of jeans with a jacket zipped halfway up. She took off her jacket and hung it on the rack before looking at Sasuke. "How are you doing today?" She asked politely and looked at the taped up air conditioner behind Sasuke. "They still didn't fix that air conditioner?" She asked and he turned and looked the broken air conditioner.

"Actually…." He started. "….they came yesterday and tried to fix it but they said that it's missing a wire so they'll be back in the next week….month or so…" He said. "….didn't you see the weather this morning? The newscast said that it will be pouring for the next four days. Why are you wearing a tank top?"

"I ran out of long sleeves and these were the only one's I have right now until I get the washer machine to work again. The warranty ran out and now it's messed up." She said as he watched her walk to her desk and he leaned over to get a view of her tattoo on her back but failed when most of it was blocked by the thick strap of her tank top. All he could see was a letter 'S'.

"Damn it…" He whispered to himself as Sakura sat down and looked at him.

"Are you okay, Sasuke?" She asked.

"I'm fine…" He said as she laid a photo book on her desk and Sasuke got suspicious. "What's that?" He pointed at the book. Sakura followed his finger.

"Oh this?" She asked. "This is all Kyo's baby pictures….do you want to look?" She asked and smiled. 'At the wonderful pictures of your son that I never told you about for 13 years.' She wanted to tell him about his son but she doesn't want to force him to become the responsible parent he wasn't planning to be but she knows that the longer she waits the harder it gets.

"It's okay…" He said and she frowned a little bit. She wanted him to see how his son grew up from day one and see what he's been missing for a long time but I guess he doesn't want that life. "…. I was just wondering what was in there…." He said and the room went silent.

"You know about that kiss…." She said and they both blushed. "…I… I'm sorry I sneezed in your face…" She said but that's not what she wanted to say. She wanted to ask him why he kissed her but she couldn't bring herself to ask. "….I probably just ruined a perfect moment…" She said. 'What the hell am I saying?'

"It's fine…." He said. "….although I never had someone sneeze in my face before but its okay…." The blush that was on his cheeks spread across his whole face. 'I hope it happens again… I mean…crap…'

"I think we should get back to work…." Sakura finally suggested. She could no longer take this embarrassment.

"Yeah…" Sasuke quickly agreed and Sakura laughed at his embarrassment. "…we have a lot of things to do…." He said hiding behind his computer not wanting her to see his blush.

Sasuke and Sakura got out of the elevator they shared to get to the level they parked their car on. "Well…." Sasuke said. "…. I guess I'll see you tomorrow…." He said and she nodded.

"Right…" She smiled as they walked the same way. Comes to find out they were parked right next to each other. "…this is weird… I didn't know this was your car…" She said.

"I guess we don't know a lot of things…." He said as she was the first one to get into her car.

"Bye…" She said as she tried to start the car but it wouldn't start up. "….it was just working this morning…" She said getting out of her car to look at the problem.

"You need a ride home?" He laughed and she looked at him.

"No…" She said as she opened the hood to her car to see what the problem was this time but when she opened it a bunch of smoke flew in her face. Sasuke's eyes widen as he saw all the smoke coming out of her hood. Sakura coughed and waved her hand in front of her face. "That is not a good sign…" She said and she looked at Sasuke. "….does your offer expire?" She asked and he laughed.

"Get in…" He said as she walked to the other side of his car.

I'll probably write at least two more chapters before I have to leave for two weeks.
