Last chapter -

"You idiot, usagi." He muttered looking down ar her since she was a head smaller.

She stopped in her tracks, eyes wide open. Then she gave him a sly smile, even if it was small it was true unlike the ones she was giving everyone else lately.

"Ah, you remembered." She asked her voice in a mere whisper.

"Are you, feeling fine?" He felt her forehead.

Shit! She's burning up.

"Yes..i.i.m..im f-fine" She said.

"I asure you im fi-"She said before she blacked out.


Sakura's pov.

She squinted her eyes to adjust to the sudden light; it took her a sometime to figure out where she was until all the events from yesterday came rushing back to her. She sat up way too quick...

"Whoa… head rush" She muttered lying back down and putting a hand on her forehead.

She looked around and noticed she wasn't in her room which means she's also not in her house, she didn't panic since she remembered what happened before she passed out right in front of the youngest Uchiha. That embarrassing... Sakura thought as she buried her flushed face deeper into the pillows. She guessed it's probably Sasuke's room since the room was Navy blue and almost everything had the Uchiha symbol in it. Note the keyword: almost.

She sat up once again, this time she didn't get a head rush which she was grateful for. She hugged the pillow and covered half her face only her eyes and forehead was shown, she had a habit of doing this every time she thinks, it doesn't matter what object it is her hand, a notebook, anything but this time her thought were distracted by the smell of the pillow.

Hmm. smells so nice. She hugged the pillow tighter breathing in the scent. If he smells like this I wouldn't mind- Her eyes snapped open and she threw the pillow to the floor glaring at it. She hopped off the king size bed, still glaring at the pillow.

I did not just think of that!

But you sure did, honey. Inner Sakura replied out of the blue.

(Scowl)

Oh. It's you. Glad to have you back. Sakura thought expressing as much sarcasm as she could.

Yep it's me! Inner Sakura chirped ignoring the sarcasm that was thrown in her way.

(Eye rolls)

Whatever, just please it's to earl- Sakura's message to her inner was cut off by a certain person.

I can see that you're up. Sasuke said plainly.

"Umm...Yeah. Morning Uchiha-san." Sakura bowed for formality purposes.

"Sasuke."

"Wh-What?" She asked in confusion, she turned her head slightly to the side.

"Call me Sasuke, since we basically know each other since we were toddlers." He said while looking away, Sakura didn't notice the blush but of course no one can unless you have a very good microscope.

Sakura just stood there staring at the boy in front of her, mouth slightly gaping.

Longest sentence ever heard from him…Ever. Sakura thought.

"It's rude to stair." Sasuke stated.

"o-Oh! Im so sorry." Sakura said looking at her feet, she noticed something.

"Um Sasuke-san, do you know where my clothes from yesterday are? I need to change and go straight home right away." She said, noticing she wasn't wearing her clothes from yesterday.

"Sasuke. No formalities. The maids put it in the laundry, so you have to change into those. Well I'll be going now." Sasuke said while pointing at the pile of clothes on the couch before heading for the door to leave.

" Arigatou, Sasuke-kun" She said grabbing the pile of clothes.

She noticed that he stopped halfway to the door.

Did I say something wrong?

"Oh, mother said come down for breakfast once you're ready." He left and closed the door behind him.


Sasuke's pov

A small smirk was plastered in the younger Uchiha, it may be too soon but he can see it. they're getting closer just like before.

Yes, just like before...

And maybe, just maybe I'll fulfill my promise to her one day.

He thought as he headed for breakfast, he seated himself at the right side of the head char since his mom would be coming down soon (Since his dad is at a meeting in Cali the mom is the boss for now. mwuahahah). He was informed that breakfast would be serving in about 7 minutes, so he was waiting for everyone else meaning his mom and Sakura. He's been waiting for them for at least 20 minutes not and for the 10th time he sighed out of boredom.

"Morning dear." Mikoto greeted her youngest soon after she gave him a kiss on the forehead.

(Glare) "Don't do that mom." Sasuke muttered.

"Ahaha! Sure sure Sasu-chan" Mikoto teased.

"hn."

"Where's Sakura-chan?"

"She's-"Sasuke was cut off.

"Here." A comment was heard; Sasuke turned his head to the double door that lead to the dining room. There he saw her she was stunning wearing a white casual high low dress that ended mid- thigh and the back ended behind her knees while a thin brown braided belt clung to her hips, she was wearing a matching white wedge heels. Even though her long pink hair framed her face (since she was basically running down the stairs not meaning to be late.), she still looked perfect in his eyes.

Panting Sakura composed herself and stood straight, fixing her dress and hair for any imperfections. She walked gracefully towards the table, while Sasuke's eyes trailed on her small figure while she seated herself in front of him.

"Sorry about that Uchiha-san" Sakura said politely

"Oh! No! Not a problem at all dear." Mikoto said while flashing her a bright smile. "And call me Okaasan instead, I hope you don't mind since you use to call me that when you were little."

"Breakfast is served" The chief said, while Sakura took note of the French accent.

"Merci monsieur." Sakura said. (Thank you sir.)

"Ah! vous parlez français mademoiselle?" The chief said with glee. (Translation: Ah! You speak French miss?)

"Qui, je vécu dans Paris pour 7 ans" Sakura said, smiling at the chief. (Yes, I lived in Paris for seven years.)

"Je dois aller pour le moment mademoiselle, au revoir" the chief said while bowing to her and the Uchiha family. (I have to go for now miss, goodbye)

"À bientôt!" ( See you soon") Sakura replied.

Sasuke watched as the girl communicated with the head chief in fluent French; being an Uchiha of course he's also bilingual he only knew some words since he was more fluent in Spanish than French. He was grateful that the chief noticed the glares he was throwing at him and finally left. Sasuke was about to say something when his mom beat him to it.

"Ah! I didn't know you could speak French dear. Tell me how you learned it." Mikoto said while putting her elbows on the table and placed her chin on the palm of her hand and looking at Sakura, waiting for the reply.

"umm..well you see. You see, I was originaly from Japan but my parents got to move to America for business purposes so me and my brothers moved there when I was 6 (Sasuke stared at her intently) and after 2 years I moved back to Japan and meet Ino-pig but my Parents noticed my talents at an early age they sent me to Paris at around 10 years old. I stayed in Paris for 7 years doing all kind of things like acting, modeling, being a musician I also focused slightly on the business side. But when I turned 17 I decided to fly back here in Japan with my brother Gaara since Sasori stayed on the states with my Parents, I moved here for medical purposes."

So that's what happened whileshe was gone, and what does she mean? Medical purposes. Sasuke's eyes narrowed.

Sakura glanced at Sasuke, noticing her slip up she quickly added.

"What I mean is I'm focusing more on the medical field."

"So much talent in such a young age, Sakura-chan." Mikoto said in awe.

"Arigatou, Miko-"

" .tsk." Mikoto waved her index finger.

"Arigatou, O-Okaasan." Sakura said with a red face.

"Anyways you kids better get going, school is starting in about 30 minutes. Sasuke here can drvie you." Mikot said while standing up.

"Oh and come back soon dear! Okaasan" Mikoto added while ushering the two out.


Sakura. Pov.

"Sorry for the the trouble, Sasuke-kun" Sakura said while stting on the passenger seat.

"hn." Sasuke grunted in reply. "Why aren't you wearing your school uniform anyways?" Sasuke said in a monotone voice.

"Ano.. Im going to flight in Paris after school." She said looking out the window.

Sakura saw the way Sasuke's hands grip the steering wheel tighter.

"You're leaving again I see." He said glaring right ahead.

"That's not what I mea-"

"So your saying you're leaving without telling me again, is that it?" Sasuke said while driving trough the traffic.

"Sasuke I didn't mean to-"She looked at him.

"You just left… without even saying goodbye." Sakura lowered her head.

"Do you know how much it hurt? I bet you don't since you a whole different person now, you're not the Sakura I know." He said the last sentence coldly.

Sakura's head snapped up. "Sasuke…" "Im so sorry, I had to okay I didn't even have I choice." Tears threaten to fall. "you. Yo-"

you don't even know how much I suffered through all those years, being sick. I wish you understood me. I really wish you do sasuke-kun.

She wanted to say it but she couldn't instead. She brushed Sasuke's knuckles that were white from gripping the steering wheel to hard.

"We can try and catch up with each other, right Sasuke kun?" She said in a mere whisper.

She noticed that they were already in the school parking lot.

"But if you want, I can leave. This time I won't come back and give you a hard time." She added. "this time I won't hurt you anymore." She turned to open the door.

A hand shot out and grabbed her shoulder; the next thinging was so fast for her mind to process everything at once. But all she knows is she's kissing Sasuke, her Sasuke.

Sasuke kissed her holding both sides of her face keeping her in place, while her hand was around his neck. They were both running out of air, but neither wanted to break free.

.

.

.

Sasuke broke the kiss panting heavily, still holding Sakura's face.

"no." –pants-

"Never, -pants- again will I lose you." Sakura stared at him.

"Never again will I lose my Usagi." He said while kissing her one last time before going out of the car.

He opened her door taking her hand; they walk side by side holding hands.

"Besides, I still remember my promise." He said while kissing her on the check.

Sakura flushed and punch him lightly on the arm. "hn." He said while smirking.

She looked at the sky.

At least this time, were much closer than before and I'm still waiting for that promise.

"Sasuke-kun, I have a flight today I have to attend a business meeting for my parents."

"hn."

(Stare)

"Yes I have too."

No reply.

"Don't worry I'll come back before the talent show, since me and Hina-chan are opening for it." She reasoned.

His grip on her hands tightened.

"Just come back okay." He said. She can see the worry in his eyes. She smiled and nodded grateful that she still can read him like an open book.

Up ahead she saw her friends and her brother. She looked at Sasuke who was glaring right back at her brother; oh boy here we go again.
