To alanna03: Haha… Because it's the holidays so… I update quick! (Sorta.) And I'm really glad that you're enjoying my story! XD

"Hmm."
Uh…
Sakura blinked. She was in a room. A dark room.
She could hear someone breathing. Someone was in here with her.
Sakura turned. Dark hair?
She blinked again and realized that it was Sasuke, his face buried in his arms and on the side of the bed, breathing softly.
Sasuke stirred and looked at her dreamily. "You're awake?"
Sakura giggled at the expression on his face. I've never seen a dreamy Sasuke before!
Sasuke stretched and yawned. Then he placed a hand to Sakura's forehead, making her blush.
"Umm. Are you okay now? You've been on the bed for an hour already…"
"W-What?" Then Sakura panicked. "A-An hour? What happened?"
Sasuke smirked. "You fainted."
"I…I fainted? You've gotta be joking." Sakura said, looking astonished.
Sasuke shrugged. "I carried you to my room and laid you on the bed."
"I…I see… I-I'm sorry for causing trouble!" Sakura apologized.
Sasuke smirked again. "I saw how you looked like in your sleep."
Sakura's eyes widened, and she put covered her mouth with her hands.
Yikes! I-I must have looked horrible and…
"W-Well… H-How did I look like then?" Sakura asked, trying to sound like it didn't matter.
"Like…a…dog."
I looked like a dog? OH MY GOD.
Sakura bit her bottom lip and looked away. "Sorry then!"
"Why did you apologize?" Sasuke laughed softly and hugged Sakura. "You looked cute. Like a dog. A puppy dog."
Sakura beamed. Then something occurred to her.
"You know… Sasuke… The time when you found me inside your room…"
"Yes?"
"I…I wasn't getting a pen at all… I…I wanted to see how you looked like when you were asleep…"
Sasuke placed his hands on Sakura's face and turned her face to face his.
Sakura swallowed hard, her cheeks flaming.
"…Close your eyes…" Sasuke whispered.
Sakura obeyed. Her heart was pounding like mad.
Is it really going to happen? My first--- Wait!
---DIDN'T YOU NOTICE THAT I'VE LIKED YOU FOR YEARS?
---I'm not giving up!
Naruto…? Naruto's words started ringing in Sakura's mind.
No… Wait…I can't do this.
She tried to move, but her body wouldn't.
Sa-Sasuke… Stop! I'm not ready! She thought frantically. Stupid body! MOVE! Push him away!
"HEY!"
Sakura's eyes went wide open. Sasuke halted.
Someone was staring at them…
Something green and orange…
With thick eyebrows…
"LEE! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU! YOU TELL ANY OF THIS, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Sasuke screamed and lunged for Lee.
"ACK! IT WASN'T ON PURPOSE! I WAS PASSING BY! AT LEAST HAVE THE DECENCY TO CLOSE THE DOOR BEFORE MAKING OUT!"
"SHUT UP, YOU FREAK!"
They started fighting. Sakura sighed. Lee's interruption was sort of a good thing. In a way… Wait. What am I thinking about? He interrupted my first kiss with Sasuke! And twice! I should be angry at him! What am I thinking? What…Oh, My God, I think I'm going to faint again…
THUMP!
"SAKURA!"

When Sakura woke up again, she was in her own bed.
"Hey, Sakura, you feeling better?" Naruto said, carrying a tray of steaming hot pancakes and walking towards her.
"I'm fine… Where's Sasuke?"
"He stayed up all night watching you, then he finally couldn't take it and collapsed at your bedside, and we carried him to HIS bed." Naruto said, still trying to balance the tray.
"Be careful with that, Na-'
CRASH!
"OW-HOT!"
Pancakes and honey flew all over the place, but most of it landed on Naruto.
Sakura looked at Naruto and started laughing. "Ha-You look so funny—HA HA!"
Naruto crossed his arms and pouted. "Don't laugh at me."
Seeing his expression, Sakura laughed even more.
"I said, don't LAUGH!" Naruto said angrily, took one of the pancakes and flung it at Sakura's face…
WHAP.
"Bull's eye!" Naruto yelped in delight.
"Grr…" Sakura took the pancake off her face and threw it back at Naruto.
WHAP.
"Bull's eye! Woo-HOO!" Sakura said happily, dancing on the spot.
"Take that!"
WHAP! "Ow!" WHAP! "Revenge!" WHAP! "Take that!" WHAP!
"WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?"
"Ooops." Sakura and Naruto said together.
Tenten and Neji were at the door, looking at the room with mouths wide open.
"Exactly what are you people doing?" Neji demanded.
"...Throwing pancakes?" Tenten raised her eyebrow.
"T-That… N-Naruto tripped and well…" Sakura tried to cover her embarrassment.
Thankfully, Tenten and Neji did not pursue the matter.
"Go clean up yourself and eat breakfast. Then clean up this room," Neji ordered.
"Aye-Aye, sir…" Sakura and Naruto muttered in unison.
