A/N: Ok before you hit be over the head I must let you know the only reason for my absences is because I wasn't well :( but I'm absolutely fine now ( I had fever) and now my cousin is sick because of me (we're like sisters and she was at my house everyday helping me get well, she lives next door) So now I'm back. I just want to say enjoy and hope you still read this :)
Everyone had been extremely busy for the past few weeks with studies. They had mock exams and final exams coming up and they were all busy with searching for a collage to get into after exams. No one really had time for anyone except for perhaps their girlfriend/ boyfriend.
Sakura hadn't seen much of her friends lately even at school they hardly spoke to each other. Her breaks and lunch were spent studying in the library or a quiet spot at school with Sasuke, studying.
On evenings she'd be taking lessons or studying with Sasuke. On weekends she'd be doing the same things or touring collages and deciding which med- school was better. Sakura didn't even notice she was losing it until a Saturday evening when she came home from lessons.
Sakura had put on the water on hot in her bathroom and left it to full while she ate something. She hadn't eaten anything since breakfast which was only a bagel, if she didn't eat something soon she'd get a stomach-ache the next day, she couldn't risk that, it'll get in the way of her studies.
She hadn't got time to eat lunch properly, or more like at all, since she and Hinata had been planning with the student's council for their graduation. They would have the school ceremony before exams and then they'd have prom after exams.
Today was so stressing, she had stay up all night last night with Sasuke quizzing him, and then she had to get up early to make sure he had gotten up and got ready. Then at school she was either with the student's council or studying. Err it was like studying was her life now.
In the kitchen she grabbed a few slices of bread and some peanut butter and jelly. She let out a yawn and rubbed her sleepy eyes, her mind fell on her friends. She began wondering what they were doing right now and if they were studying as hard as she was.
She hoped all of them were. After all it'll be bad if one of them failed their exams and couldn't go to college, of course they could repeat but still.
...
Temari was annoyed as ever, she attempted this maths question so many times and kept getting it wrong. She rolled her computer chair away from her desk to look over to her bed. "Shika, can you help me with this one?" She asked but no reply, she walked over to the bed because she couldn't see his face.
He was lying on his side facing her with a book in front his face.
"Shika?" What she saw was absolutely cute but still very aggravating. Shikamaru had fallen asleep hugging one of her stuff animals, she had to take a picture of this. Temari found it unfair though, the way he could sleep like this and do so well in his exams. If she slept instead of studying she'd fail with a capital 'F'.
Temari decided a little break wouldn't kill anyone; she saved the picture as her screen saver and slid in next to Shikamaru. It was hard to sleep when she could just stare at the view she was getting. Creepy as it sounds she did it any ways until she couldn't keep her eyes opened anymore.
...
Matsuri had gotten Gaara to come over and study with her, Gaara was as smart as Neji and Sasuke. So every time Matsuri had a problem she'd go to him but she notice she was interrupting his studies. So she sat quietly with her Maths problem drilling her brains for an answer. Gaara had notice this and chuckled, he thought it was sweet but silly of her to do this.
"Matsuri, if you need help its ok to ask, that's why we're studying together." Matsuri waved her hands in front her face and let out an awkward, sheepish laugh.
"I know that, I'm fine over here don't worry." She lied saving her pride but Gaara knew better.
"Well could I see what you're doing?" He asked, Matsuri got all defensive and jerked back in her spot on her rug covered floor.
"Why? Don't you believe me? You don't see me demanding to see what you're doing." Gaara chuckled and got up from her desk, Matsuri had chosen the ground because she needed to lie down. She couldn't study on her bed or she'd sleep away so Gaara had taken the desk area to study.
"I was just asking." He plopped down next to her and looked over her exam paper she was going through. "You need help don't you?" Matsuri rolled her eyes and scrunched her face up at him.
"Whatever!" Gaara kept chuckling making her blood boil even more, but when he began explaining to her she was grateful and paid attention.
...
Neji, Tenten, Hinata and Naruto were studying together in the Huyga's library room. Neji kept Tenten away from Naruto and Hinata because she'd either fight with the blonde or talk to his cousin and not study. She got easily distracted.
Hinata sat with Naruto making sure he was focusing on his work and not doodling or something in his book. Hinata had to tutor Naruto in all his subjects and found out he was excellent in P.E. not just the physical parts but he knew his book work just as well.
Neji was quizzing Tenten on History which she was doing fine in until his grandmother came in. "Kids, sorry to bother your studying, but I made some snacks for you. Maybe you should take a break for now and have a snack." She suggested, Neji was about to turn down his grandmother's offer when Naruto and Tenten shot up form where they sat. "Yes!" they both said in union and marched to the library door.
"I think we should go to Neji-nii-san." Hinata got up and waited for Neji to do the same.
"Let's watch a movie please Hinata_chan." Naruto begged dropping on his knees in front the girl and hugged her by the waist. Neji flinched at this but did nothing to stop it because he knew they were dating now and because Tenten would have his head for interrupting what she'd call a 'cute moment'.
"Yea that sound like a plan, then we'd go back to studying." Tenten grin and sat on the sofa and switched on the TV, Neji decided to give into her just this once.
Naruto and Hinata joined her on the sofa, while Neji looked for a movie that would keep all three of them up all night. "We're watching Evil Dead." He was surprise though when Naruto and Tenten agreed to it.
...
Ino and Sai had the apartment to themselves; they promised they wouldn't do anything but study. It started out that way but being teen's full of raging hormones they ended up naked in Sai's bed anyways. Ino scoffed in Sai's arms. "Next time we're staying over at mine place." She looked up to the man that was holding her, his eyes closed but she knew he was awake.
"Like that'll stop us." He smiled, his eyes still closed.
"Yea it would, the thought of my dad would stop us because he would be down stairs or listening to us through the door and my mum would walk in every so often to drop snacks of for us to see if we need anything."
Ino's remark made the boy open his eyes to see hers peering up at him. "That settles it we're never studying over there." Ino frowned at him.
"Why the hell not?" She pushed away from him slightly.
"Because I won't be able to do this." He kissed her forehead sweetly. "And this." He kissed both her cheek and her nose making her smile brightly. "And most of all this." He kissed her lips.
...
"Hey you know how to do this one?" Suigetsu walked over to Karin's bed crossing over Jugo on the floor. Karin, Jugo and Suigetsu decided to study together like they always did. They made a pretty good team as well; Karin and Suigetsu was average student while Jugo was almost as smart as Shikamaru.
"Yea you put this over that and work it out from there, don't you know the formulas. You need to know the formulas if you want to be able to solve the problem." Karin instructed, Jugo was glad things didn't change much between the two.
Yea they were going out now and sure they'd act differently around each other but at least it wasn't awkward for him
"Okay, okay, jezzz, I'd learn the formulas." Suigetsu joined Jugo back on the floor with his sheet of paper.
"Hey Jugo can I borrow your lab notes? You write them out so well, it's easy to remember." Karin leaned over to collect them; Karin really wanted to pass her exams so she'd enter K.U- Konoha University, one of the best. From what she heard her girlfriends wanted to go there as well.
"Hey guys where do you want to go after this?" She suddenly asked gaining both boys attention.
"I'm not sure yet, but one of those we toured the other day." Suigetsu answered making her smile, she was glad he wasn't leaving her to go abroad.
"I may go to Montana University or I may go away." This was news for the two; they never thought Jugo would want to leave Konoha.
"What about you Karin?" Jugo asked, Karin didn't get a chance to answer. "She's heading for K.U, Jugo you didn't tell us you're planning to leave." Suigetsu pushed on, Karin would of scold the boy for not giving her a chance to answer but she was as curious as him to hear Jugo's answer.
"I'm not sure yet, but we'd see after exams." Jugo cleanly didn't want to talk about it right now, so before Suigetsu could talk gain Karin threw a pillow at his head.
"Hey!" He complained but when he saw Karin's expression he got the message.
...
"Sakura Haruno!" Sakura bolted up wards, a slice of bread with peanut butter and jelly on her face. "Yes! Yea. I'm awake, I wasn't sleeping." She immediately answered noticing she had fallen asleep, but for how long? It was her mother's voice that had woke her up, coming from the front door.
Sakura froze when she notice up to her knees were wet. "Shit!" She cursed, she had forgotten the tub filling and now her house was becoming a pool.
...
Sakura stood outside her house with her parents as it was drained of water and their furniture and belongings was taken away.
"What were you doing that you forgot to take off the water Sakura, what was so important?" Sasuke asked his pink head girlfriend as he and his parents joined the Haruno's. Sakura had texted him and told him some parts of the story, she was lucky her phone was saved.
Mikoto was comforting Mebuki, her mum, so she wouldn't rip Sakura's head off and Fugaku were speaking to Kizeshi, her dad.
"Sleeping, I was so tired I fell asleep in the kitchen, while getting something to eat, Sasuke_kun, what am I gonna do. My books are wet my cloths my parents are going to kill me when we're alone." Sakura buried her head into Sasuke's chest; she could careless at the look her father was giving her.
He was already mad at her, how much worse would he do to her than he was already planning to do.
"Is that peanut butter on your face?" Sasuke swiped his finger over her right cheek and wiped the little left over of cream of her face and licked his finger. Sakura rolled her eyes; he had some nerve doing that when her father was looking at them.
Yes she could careless what her father would do to her at the moment but Sasuke should value his life more. But to Sasuke that small action felt like a natural thing to do, he was getting to use to being like this with Sakura and he forgot that their parents knew nothing about them.
"You could stay at mine house; you're welcome to use my stuff, though you may not like my cloths very much." Sasuke rest a hand on her shoulder, with her father around he dare not do anything further. He had only just realized the death glares that were being sent his way.
Sure he loved Sakura, but he was smart and treasured his life very much.
"Really, you'd let me stay, and actually I don't mind wearing your clothes for now. Well not to go out but you know." Sakura glanced up at him and smiled, Sasuke felt proud of being the reason she was smiling.
"It's up to your parents now, if they'd let you stay." Sakura hopes fell by this; there was no way that'll happen. Not in a million years.
...
Somehow fate was on Sakura's side, in a way; because her father demanded she stayed at the Uchiha's for the time being. Her parents had been called on a business trip and her father wouldn't let her stay at a hotel alone.
Mikoto had offered to keep Sakura until everything was back to normal at their place. Her dad gave her money to buy things that was necessary since insurance and his boss was paying for their damage house.
Sakura was thrilled by this and as soon as her parents left she was settled in her temporary room. Mikoto had lent her a night gown for the night and she had dinner with everyone. Sakura kept fantasying herself as Sasuke's bride living with her in-laws.
She helped Mikoto serve Sasuke's food; she sat next to him and she even drank form his cup several times acting as if it was a mistake. Mikoto noticed this but didn't say a thing; after all she was supporting Sakura all the way. If the woman could help it a she would have locked the two teens in one room for a night and tell them she couldn't find the keys.
But she knew her husband wouldn't let her do anything of the sort, as a matter of fact he had already warned her about her little tricks, telling her to keep them up her sleeve. Yes he had a sense of humour, it was small but it was there.
Later that night Mikoto and Fugaku had gone to bed and Sakura sneaked over to Sasuke's room. Being extra carful she eased her way over to his bed but was confused when she didn't find him there. A hand slipped over her mouth and one around her waist, and then a husky, deep voice spoke in her ear. "What are you doing here Sa-ku-ra? Can't sleep?" It was Sasuke and her body relaxed into his hold.
He removed his hand from over her mouth and joined his other hand around her waist. "Not at all, I just came to make sure you were asleep after all I know you can't go on without me." Sakura playfully said rubbing her hands over his warm one.
Sasuke didn't reply with words, instead he kissed her neck going up to her ear. Sasuke's fingers slipping its way up her night gown to her breast; she wasn't wearing on any bra.
"S-Sasuke_kun, what are you doing?" Sakura suddenly felt nervous, Sasuke sensed this and stopped himself from getting carried away.
"Let's go to bed now." He let go of her and walked over to his bed. When he sat down he was attacked by Sakura into a hug.
"I'm sorry Sasuke_kun, I-I can't do that when your parents are right down the hall from us. Can you wait just a bit longer for this?" Sakura felt bad, she loved him, and she was willing to give herself to him but just not yet.
"Sakura, it's ok. There is no need to apologise to me; I'd never force you into anything you don't want to do, well unless it is necessary. If you're not ready it's okay, I'd wait for you to be." Sasuke assured the girl, Sakura felt relief by this, and she knew he'd understand.
"Let's sleep now; I'm sure you'd be busy tomorrow buying new cloths." Sasuke reminded her, he easily lift her off him and placed her next to him. They both cuddled up to each other and slept under the warm, shared blanket.
...
Since they had exams coming up, they didn't have classes. So Sakura and her friends used this as bonding time and to shop for Sakura. Karin had lent Sakura some cloths and the seven had set of to do Ino's favourite thing, shop.
"Honestly Sak's what were you thinking. No wait why weren't you thinking?" Ino's loud mouth drew attention to their group. Nothing new.
"Stuff it Ino-pig, I was tired, I mean all I've been doing is studying. At this rate I'd be able to write all of your exams." Sakura sighted, Matsuri took up a sexy laced up bra and waggled her brows at Sakura. "Since you're under the same roof, you're properly getting some." Sakura rolled her eyes at her friends, she didn't notice when Ino and Karin bought the bra along with some matching tongs and stuff it in one of her shopping bags.
"So when's your house gonna is be all...fixed up?" Temari asked cheeking out some shorts. She picked it up and placed it in front of her looking at the mirror next to the change rooms.
"I don't know but less than a weak I suppose, my book and stuff would be here by tomorrow, not much of my stuff got damaged because the water level didn't go that high. Our stuff is just wet." Sakura took up a few shorts of her own to sleep in. Ino showed her a thumbs up as approval of her fashion choice.

"Hinata_chan, how's it going with you and Naruto? I mean have you two even...ya know kiss yet? You know without you fainting." Karin teased; they were having lunch together now taking a break from their shopping.
"Y-yes, we have many times and I didn't faint huh, I was nervous for our first kiss but it was, wonderful, he was so gentle." Hinata had a dreamy face on, Sakura pulled out her phone and took a quick picture of the raven hair girl.
"Are you serious, Naruto? Gentle? We're talking about a different Naruto right?" Tenten had snapped Hianta out of her daydream, Hinata wasn't one to get angry and argue with people. But she scrunched up her face and lightly glared at Tenten, she had to defend her man.
"Just because he insults you doesn't mean he's not a sweetheart." Hinata words were soft but noting close to sweet. Tenten felt goose bumps running up and down her spine; Hinata was showing her evil side again, it has been coming out more often.
"Okay, I just have to ask... who's still a virgin in this group? Since we all have boyfriends and all." Ino asked, she had expected most of her friends to do it already, which was surprising to her when everyone beside Temari put their hand up.
"Oh my god, Temari your not...Ino! Why is your hand not up?" Karin asked, everyone looked at the two girls, Temari didn't seem to care and Ino was more interested in why her friends haven't done it yet.
"Wow and here I thought I was the only one who hasn't done it yet." Matsuri did a little clap; the table was so silent she began to feel awkward sitting there. Temari didn't like where that was going, she didn't want to even think about her brother's sex life, let alone talk about it. Hinata felt the same way; if Tenten started talking about Neji like that she'd get up and leave.
It was that or she'd throw up her breakfast.
"So Sai and you huh." Sakura was more upset Ino hadn't told her, they always shared their secrets with each other.
"Yep Sai and I, I'm serious with him, what are you waiting on by the way?" Ino raised her blonde brow at Sakura; everyone else just sat back and looked on at the two. They knew if they said something all the attention and questions would go to them.
"I'm waiting for the right moment, I mean I'm serious with Sasuke to but I don't feel right doing it right now." Sakura explained herself, she was happy when the attention went to Temari when Ino asked the girl an embarrassing question.
"So how's the lazy bum in bed?" Ino smirked but Temari wasn't fazed by the question, instead Temari smirked and leaned back in her chair.
"Well one thing for sure is he's not lazy in bed and he knows how to get a girl worked up and keep her active for long. He knows how to please a girl." Temari laughed when everyone at the table except Ino scrunched up their faces.
"Too much to know, I'd never be the same again, changing topic." Tenten covered her ears, Hinata's face was beet red and Karin had made a motion as if she was puking.
"You guys are too innocent." Ino chuckled and changed the subject by talking about her future prom dress.
...
When Sakura got home, or her temporary home, she noticed Sasuke wasn't in yet. He was still at school, so she decided to look for Mikoto. The woman was busy packing her bags and her husband's bag. "Hey honey, what's the matter?" Mikoto asked Sakura when the girl had knocked on the door, it was all ready open and when Sakura's knuckles made contact it opened itself.
"Noting really, I just came back from shopping with my friends, we bought everything I need."
Sakura sat on the edge of the bed and looked around; there were clothes all over the place. Even on the bed and floor there was clothes scattered, this worried Sakura. Mikoto noticed the look on Sakura's face and answered her unasked question.
"Fugku got called away on a business meeting. I think it'll be the same meeting as your dad's. So we'd be gone for some time, I hope you and Sasuke could get along without us here."
Sakura smiled at the woman, that's when the idea came to mind. Sakura was complaining to Sasuke that they couldn't do it because his parents were right there, now that they wouldn't be there...
"Uh, so when are you guys leaving?" Sakura sat back in her spot acting casual, what will Mikoto think if she knew Sakura was thinking about her son that way.
If only Sakura knew Mikoto was counting on something like that to happen between them in her absents.
"Right now, Fugku would be here soon." Sakura smiled, all she had to do was set the mood and she'd have Sasuke when he came home. She'd show him how ready she was to do this and she felt very ready as well.
"Ohay, okay." Sakura said innocently to Mikoto, the woman hadn't notice Sakura's unusual behaviour. Sakura helped the woman pack and tidy her room and chat with her until Fugku came. When they left she got down to business and organized everything she needed.
That's all I have for today. I hope you enjoyed it.
