The little rat's yapping kept her awake the whole night. Just when she was about to fall back asleep, he would start barking again each time. Sakura wondered if Itachi had trained the thing to do that. She wasn't sure how it would be possible, but she was sure he did. No matter. She could just think of Sasuke the whole night.
Anyway, how did he sleep with all that barking? He was in ANBU, little sounds were supposed to wake him quickly. However, even when she had sneaked into his bedroom to cut his hair off, he hadn't woken up. He had been snoring. Sakura had almost laughed out loud. It was hysterical. It was also kind of cute. She guessed that when Itachi slept, he really slept.
The next morning, Sakura had opened her window and was not overjoyed to find Itachi doing the same thing. "Hello, Uchiha-san." He stiffly nodded to her.
"Haruno," he greeted.
"You know," she began. "You dog was barking the whole night, and it was annoying, but I'm going to let it go this time. Nothing can ruin my mood today."
"Why is that?" he asked flatly.
Sakura just shook her head and smiled. "Your little brother can tell you himself, once he's out of the hospital."
She walked away, leaving Itachi confused and looking at where she had once been standing.
