(a/n: Gah! I'm so sorry that I haven't updated for so long! Anyway, thank you for your reviews! I never expected to be that popular… -ahem- I'm recently addicted to this Taiwanese TV show. Meteor Garden. Which is based on this anime, Boys over Flowers. It's sooooo freaking good! –thumbs up- Vic Zhou is hot!)

Chapter six"Sa-ku-ra-cha-an!"
She slowly opened her eyes and blinked. It's already morning. "Ouch Naruto… You're hurting my wrist." Naruto looked down and dropped her arm. "Ah! Sorry about that. Good morning!"
"Morning…" Sakura said, she didn't really remember what happened a night ago.
"You don't have to go into her tent and tells her to get up dobe." A familiar voice snorted behind Naruto. He grimaced and turned back, smirking. "Jealous Sasuke?"
"Shut up, I never said I am."
"The little handsome, brave, cool Sasuke actually is jea-lous." Naruto said slowly, trying not to laugh. Sasuke glared at him and didn't say anything.
"I'm sorry to cause you all the trouble." Sakura apologized.
"Why apologize?" Sasuke asked.
"Well… I mean, maybe you guys are much better if you go without me… I'm a girl after all…" Sakura said, blushing a little. She sometimes wished that she would never be born. She feel depressed, and angry at herself.
"I don't really mind." Sasuke said.
Naruto grinned and got up. "I'll fetch some breakfast. You must be hungry." They are so in love…

"Hey… Naruto, this is actually good." Sakura said in surprise.
Naruto laughed. "Not bad huh?"
"Wow… I'm stunned." Sakura said.
"1 out of 5." Sasuke said quietly beside Sakura. Naruto stood up. "Hey! What's that suppose to mean!"
"I said 1 out of 5, which means, not good. Dobe." Sasuke smirked.
"Why you-"
"Ano…" Sakura said. "Do you want water? I'll go get it."
"I'll come with you."
"Eh?"
"I don't want to stuck with this idiot." Sasuke said, smirking at Naruto. (Naruto: you are dead.)
"Oh…" Sakura blushed. "Ok, I don't mind." She bent down and picked up three drink bottles, with Sasuke following behind her, hands in his pockets.
Naruto's angry expression eased and smiled. Let those two have their time together… I'll just take a quick tap…

"Nice day, isn't it?" Sakura said, looking at the sky. "I love looking at the clouds. They are beautiful. I wish I can sketch them, but of course, I can't right now."
"You draw?" Sasuke questioned.
Sakura smiled and looked at him. "Yes I do."
"Maybe I'll see them someday." He said silently. Sakura stared at him. Did he just say 'I'll see your drawings'? Ehh? Sasuke glanced at her. "Did I say something strange?"
"Um… no." Sakura blushed and looked away.
Sasuke placed a hand on her shoulder and pulled her back, to make her look at him. "What do you say?" Sakura stopped breathing. He is so close that he could just kissed her right now. Her heart skipped a beat. "O-Ok."
Sasuke halved smiled and let her go. "Good." Sakura blushed.
"You know… Naruto asked me to treat you better." He said.
"He… did?" Sakura asked. "Why? I thought he's over me now. Isn't he with Hinata-san?"
"He's asking me to take care of you." Sasuke said.
"A-And?" Sakura breathed, she's afraid to know the answer. She can just feel her legs go weak when Sasuke looked at her. "And I will."
What does he mean by that? Since when did I like him that much…? Why do I even like him? He gives me cold looks, ignores me. But I just like him even more every time I see him. Why…? I… I'm really is foolish… Falling for someone like him. He probably never will get married. It's painful…
"… Sakura…"
I hate myself.
"Sakura?"
She looked up. "Oh! I'm sorry… I didn't notice…"
"What is it like to be an only child?" He asked, looking up at the sky. We approach the stream and I bend down. Sakura looked thoughtful. "Lonely…"
"Lonely?"
"Yeah." Sakura replied. "My parents go to work everyday and never come back until 11 o'clock at night." She put the filled bottle down and took the unfilled bottle, dipping it into the water. "I don't mind though because I'm used to it."
They were silent for a couple of minutes.
"You're thinking about… your brother?" Sakura asked, reading his mind.
He grimaced. "Yes…"
"Sorry."
"Why apologize?" He questioned.
"Because looking at me made you think about your brother." Sakura got up. "Let's go, I'm finished."
"I'm not disgusted when I look at you…" Sasuke said quietly.
Sakura smiled. "I know. But I'm annoying."
Sasuke half smiled. "Yes I know."

"You guys are late." Naruto complained. "What were you doing? Kssing?" He sniggered. Sakura blushed. "Naruto! We're nothing like that!" Naruto grinned. "Yeah, I know, it was a joke."
"Yeah and it's not funny." She snapped, sinking herself onto the ground. "God I'm tired."
"Yo-shi! I'm going to clean up now!" Naruto said, pulling his sleeves up. Sakura smiled. "You're so cute Naruto." Sasuke and Naruto looked at her with surprise.
"Eh? Sakura-chan! You're finally in love with me!" Naruto said happily. "But too bad! I'm in love with Hinata!"
"I'm just saying you're cute. That doesn't mean I'm in love with you, stupid." Sakura said. "You're just c-u-t-e. Ok?"
Sasuke looked annoyed. Naruto noticed.
"Sasuke! You're jealous aren't you?" Naruto teased. "You're jealous that Sakur-" He didn't finish, because Sasuke punched him on his cheek.
"Ouch! What's that for!" Naruto demanded. "I was just joking around! For God's sakes! Will you grow up?" Sasuke glared. "Leave me alone."
"Sasuke-kun…"
"I said leave me alone." He said and walked off.
"Wait…"
"Sakura-chan, don't worry. He will be alright." Naruto said as he got up from the ground. "Man… he punches harder that usual today. What's up with him?"

"Sasuke-kun?"
He jerked his head up in surprise. "Sakura! How did you know I'm going to be here!" Sakura smiled and sat beside him. "You said you liked quiet places."
"Hn."
"Are you…" Sakura said slowly. "…jealous?"
He suddenly turned his head at her, making his hair sway. "I'm not!"
"You're right… how could you be jealous at me." Sakura said embarrassedly. "I'm so stupid."
Sasuke turned his head back. "I… didn't know why I hit Naruto. Maybe I was angry."
"For what?" Sakura asked, her heart thumping.
"I… don't know…" Sasuke said. "I'm acting so weird these days and I don't know why. Maybe something- someone is causing this."
"I… see…"
"Well I'm sorry."
"Why?"
"For saying Narutowas cute."
"I'm not-"
"I know, I know. Youwere not jealous. But I'm apologizing anyway."
"Why do you always apologizing?" Sasuke asked, his hand going through his dark hair.
"I… am?"
"Yes, you always do."
"Do you want me to stop?"
"No…" He replied. "I like you just when you're yourself."
"I-"
THUMP"Sakura…?"
She had fainted.
