'thoughts' "dialouge" Inner Sakura

Previously..

And suddenly, she could feel the force vibrating off of the car that's heading towards her.

This is it...

"SAKURA!"

The pink haired suddenly opened her eyes and whipped her head around to see the said voice.

Sasuke...

"SAKURA! GET OUT OF THERE!"

He tried once more, but the pink haired stood there stubbornly, shaking her head, ready to commit suicide.

Sasuke growled frustratedly, Shit, I'm not gonna make it!

The 18-wheelers truck was approaching rapidly, and in a few second Sakura could go meet her long missed parents.

"Leave me to be!" She hollered at the young man rushing to save her.

Just merely a few seconds before the tremendous truck came in contact with her, Sasuke jumped and grabbed Sakura tightly, shielding her from any possible injuries as the two of them came tumbling to the other side of the crowded street, avoiding the truck's tail by a few centimeters. He was breathing hard, panting from running out of breath. Sakura's emerald orbs could only gazed up at him, why was he doing this for her? She thought Sasuke hated her.

There were many crowds gathered to witness this miracle. They all whispered and muttered illegible words. None of this matter to the two who were still laying on the dirty concrete. The foolish girl were on top of Sasuke as they gazed deeply into each other's eyes.

Relieved that he was luckily able to save her from from death's grab, the raven haired pulled her into a deep embrace as he hugged her like a little kid with his favorite teddy bear.

"You baka. You're really stupid for doing that." He whispered softly. Sakura was shocked, her orbs widened at his words.

I-i..

She found it hard to find the right words to say, so instead she returned his hug, wrapping herself deep into his arms. She laid her head against his broad muscular chest, inhaling his wonderful scent.

"I-i..I'm sorry."

Tears began to swell up in her eyes. She sobbed, but Sasuke comforted her a little.

"You're annoying."

Sasuke smirked at her, which suprised Sakura. How could he not be serious at a time like this? But then a smile slowly spread across her face, she knew this is the closest Sasuke could get to being a nice guy.

Their little romantic scene was interupted shortly when a bunch of Sasuke's fangirls recognized his infamous self and decided to squeal in delight.

"AHH OH MY GOSH! IT'S SASUKE UCHIHA!"

The group of fangirls screamed.

"HE'S SO HANDSOME!"

Plenty of other compliments about Sasuke could be heard on the crowded street, which is now overcrowded because of the little scenario going on.

"SASUKE, WOULD YOU MARRY ME!"

They all wanted the young hearthrobbed Uchiha for their own.

"Tch, annoying."

The young teen was already sending death glares to his annoying, no life fangirls. Unfortunately, more of them just keep coming his way.

The pink haired girl hid behind Sasuke and tugged his sleeve collar, signaling they should probably leave while they still can. She was afraid of his fangirls, and what they would do to her.

"Umm..Sasuke? I think we should get out of here."

"Hn. I'll take you back to the manor, my parents are probably worried."

He replied cooly. For once he liked Sakura's decision.

"I-i.."

But Sakura seemed to be hestitating. The raven haired turned to look at her.

"Sakura, don't worry," he assured her.

Slowly, she nodded her head, decided she will trust him for once.

"Mm."

As Sakura proceeded to take a few steps, she suddenly lost her balance. Luckily, Sasuke managed to catch her just in time.

"What's wrong with you?" He narrowed his brows at her sudden loss of consciousness.

"I'm fine, it's n-nothing really." The girl smile slightly at him.

The Uchiha still stood there, not trusting her. He noticed that Sakura's body was trembling.

"You're not feeling well."

He stated as a matter-of-fact.

"I said I'm fine, thank you very much."

The said girl didn't want to worry him, so instead she decided to get up and start to walk, but all of a sudden Sasuke grabbed her wrist and stopped her from doing so. The next thing she knew he was giving a piggyback as he walks home.

"Hey hey, you don't have to treat me like I'm crippled."

She hit him slightly on the back of his weird hair shaped head.

Without turning his head back, he retorted.

"You're right. Next time, I'll just let you to be and free to hurt yourself as you please."

"GRR..SASUKE UCHIHA. YOU THINK YOU'RE ALL THAT!"

She gritted her teeth as she growled angrily at him. Forget what she said earlier, he was still being an ass to her and it haven't change.

She could also tell that his feedback was damn annoying. He was smirking with his famous trademark smirk at her big time, although she couldn't see his flawless face. Oh she'll just have to fix that later.

Sasuke continued carrying her on his back as he walked toward the back alley, avoiding those damn fangirls. Meanwhile, Sakura decided to ask the Uchiha a question that she now regret asking.

"Why do care for me so much?"

"I don't." His response was immediate.

"Hpm, I thought you detested me."

She arched her bubblegum brows, wondering how he'll reply.

"I still do." He replied back cooly.

"I hate you, you know that?"

For some reason, the pink haired was nervous regarding to his answer.

"Hn."

Ehhh? Wtf was that! It's not even an answer!

"Do you care if I was dying right in front of your eyes then?"

She continued to torture him with her ridicuolous bambark of questions.

"..."

Sasuke was quiet, he haven't really given it a thought about her last question before.

"Would you do something?"

She was determined to get an answer from him. Well, one thing he stopped walking and there was an uncomfortable breeze of the silence surrounding them.

"You're annoying."

Her orbs widened, she wasn't expecting that. Sakura felt like hitting him really hard, why can't he answer the goddamn question like he cared to think about it, but he didn't.

"GRR SASU-!"

"Keep quiet, we're being followed."

He whispered in a low tone to alert her.

Sakura had no idea that they were being stalked! The feeling of fear hit her out of nowhere, and involuntarily, she tightened her grasp of Sasuke. Somehow, he comforted her alittle and make her feel more secured.

Sasuke's orbs immediately flashed into a dark crimson color. He was ready for the worse as he continued to pass through the dark alley along with Sakura.

The young teen continued walking casually until something make him stopped abruptly in his track.

"Show yourself."

He spoke nonchalantly, yet his eyes held this dark and murderous look.

- Tenten, how long ago did I fell for you? -

- Oh Neji, only like 26208 hours ago. -

- Lee: *teary-eyes* -
