AU: woah…it's been a while before I decided that I should really carry on what I have started here.. And I'm really sorry guys for making you wait that much. I do hope you still remember the plot of the story. And thanks for those who really convinced me on continuing this.


Chapter 12

Sakura was still upset about the things that she found out last night. She was not really in the mood for the dance and even thinking not to go anymore. But she thought, "Sasuke asked me to go with him to the dance and don't want to make him feel the bad, just like what I'm feeling right now.. Maybe, I should go tonight, anyway it's only a dance."

Stressed-out, Sakura stretched her entire body lying on her bed and made a big yawn.

"You still look good even if you're making funny faces," some one interrupted from her bedroom's door.

"Sasuke?" Sakura asked in amazement noting that Sasuke didn't knock at all. She looked at him fiercely forgetting about his joke.

"Er— what??" He asked innocently.

"You didn't knock."

"Oh.." He looked on his hand holding the knob of Sakura's door. "Yeah, sorry 'bout that. I guess you're still not up."

"Next time, I don't want you waking me up this early, opening my door without permission and talking to me every morning! Understood?!"

Sasuke's eyes widen up after hearing what Sakura yelled at him. He couldn't believe the emotion she exerted with her voice.

"Sakura, I didn't mean it." He apologized sincerely when Sakura started to giggle.

"HaHaHaHa!!!" She roared a load laugh holding her stomach behind. "You looked like a troubled dog after peeing inside the house!!!"

"What? You mean, you're not angry?" Sasuke asked.

"Of course not, dufus!" Sakura replied while still laughing hard.

"What did you call me?" Sasuke said smiling. "Because of that, you will never stop laughing again!" He said before jumping on Sakura's bed and tickling her all over.

Sakura couldn't help laughing real hard, Sasuke must really know where to tickle her but, Sakura realized that he was actually on top of her. And it made her to stop.

"Sasuke.."

Sasuke gazed at her eyes.

Silence covered the entire room.

Looking into her eyes made him to remember their memories, their first kiss when they were still kids and the fact that Sakura wasn't really his sister.

He brought his head closer to Sakura, reaching for her lips.

"Sasuke.." Sakura whispered.

In return, she closed her eyes and waited for Sasuke's lips to touch hers. It was the moment of truth for them; they were both falling in love with each other.

Sakura felt the warm breeze that kept coming out from his lips. It warmed her from the cold breeze that blows from her window. Not until,

"Sasuke!" Itachi called from Sakura's door.

Hearing this, Sasuke made a slight frown on his face, "Itachi," he said quietly, being annoyed on his sudden appearance.

Sakura didn't know what to do, she was just asking Sasuke to move out from her bed. But, with a quick move Sasuke was still able to catch her lips.

Itachi, on the other hand, can't believe on what's happening between them. He just fainted on the floor and made his soul move out from his body with a poof.

It was like heaven has touched the earth. It was not really a good sight for seeing two one-time siblings to kiss each other. But for them, it was like a feeling that they wanted to release for a long time. Their eyes lingered with each other again, as Sasuke parted from her.

"I-I'll just bring Itachi to his bed," Sasuke made a slight excuse.

Sakura wasn't able to utter anything, instead she nodded twice.

She watched him carry Itachi on his shoulders. "What such strength he has," she said in her mind, "maybe that's why I always feel protected whenever he's with me."

"Anyway, start fixing yourself. You don't want to be late for school again, today's Friday." Sasuke said before carrying his brother away.

'What a drag, hmm..I was already floating on clouds and here goes school again." Sakura said in her min sounding a bit like Shikamaru.

-----------On their classroom-----

"Sakura, Sakura!" Ino said shaking her shoulders.

"What Ino?"

"Nobody's asking me for the dance!" Ino started.

'Oh, yeah, the dance, I almost forgot about it." It gave her a ring about her condition with Sasuke, remembering his question. "Would you be my princess?"

"Sakura! Stop daydreaming, will ya'? I have a huge problem here."

"No one has asked you?" Sakura finally spoke up after snapping out of her thoughts.

"Uhmm…not really." Ino answered avoiding her eyes from Sakura. "There someone, who asked me, but."

'Someone? No, it can't be Sasuke. If he would ask her, Ino won't act this way, instead she will be floating on clouds by this time." Sakura minded. "So, who is it?" she asked.

"Choujie did." Ino confessed. "But, I couldn't possibly go with him, I-I mean were not meant to be with each other."

"Ino, don't say that. If you don't want him, then probably there's someone here in our class who wants to go with you. But, he just couldn't speak to you or something."

"Like?"

"Uhh..just like..."

"Sasuke?" Ino asked.

"Ahh…probably not." Sakura claimed. "But, hey, there's Naruto and Shikamaru. He! He! He!" she added to lessen Ino's anger to what she have said.

"Sa-ku-ra," Ino called with a flowery voice.

"What?" turning her face away and resting it on top of her desk.

"Sasuke's your brother, right?" Ino asked.

"So, what about it?" She aswered somewhat lying.

"Asked him to go with me…" Ino whispered. "C'mon, I have a plan," she added.

"That's not possible."

"But, WHY?" Ino shouted.

"Arggh..this girl's bugging me, now I know what the others can feel about her. Darn, my head aches, I wasn't able to have enough sleep last night."

"Sakura!" Ino yelled.

Out of patience, Sakura slipped her tongue, "Because I'm going with him!"

Ino was suprised on Sakura's aswer.

"Sakura will be Sasuke's princess? That's unfair. He's her brother." Ino was totally confused. "Sakura, you're kidding, right?"

"Ino, I-I'm not." Sakura confessed.

Hearing this, Ino suddenly burst into tears, leaving her friend and went straight to the comfort room.

"Ino.." Sakura whispered, "I hope you'll understand me." she added, letting no one hear.
