Chapter 3: The fight and disappearance of Sakura
Sakura raised an eyebrow at her. "Hey, first of all I am not a stalker, maybe you are. Yeah right I'll stay away from him, as you please. And now, all I have to say to you is watch your tongue and get a life!"
Sakura glared at her and then to Sasuke, before stomping off towards the building.
With Sasuke…
"Will you just let go of my arm! You're making things worse!" Sasuke said jerking his arm away from Miko.
"Sasuke-kun, I thought we're going out already—"
"Who told you that! We never even talked! You were just some girl I had as a partner at a one time biology class! Now get off!" Sasuke said grimly.
"Sasuke-kun!—"
"And do not even dare lay a finger on her! If you do, you're done for." Sasuke threatened.
With that, he left following the direction where Sakura went earlier.
Back to Sakura…
'Naniyo! Naniyo! Naniyo!' Sakura screamed mentally.
She made her way towards the lockers where a bunch of people were already crowding. She pushed through but then number of people only grew larger as more people came. Finally, the first bell rang and people started to go away, at last, having her chance to be able to reach her locker before the second bell rings.
(Ok, in their school, first bell after break is just a signal that it's almost time for class. Second break signals that students are supposed to be already inside their rooms just waiting for their class to start.)
When she reached her locker however, she saw two people leaning against it. She was near enough when she noticed who they were.
"Move it!" Sakura said loudly.
"Where's Sasuke?" Neji asked.
"I don't know! How should I know! Why're you asking me! Why not ask that girl he was going out with!" Sakura snapped back harshly.
"Woah! What are you talking about? Sasuke never went out with anyone. He has never liked anyone. But we think he went with you at break time today, didn't he? That's why we're asking you." Shikamaru explained looking at her bewildered.
"I don't know where he is! Go look for him yourselves if you must! I told you already he's going with a girl who knows who! Now, both of you move it!" Sakura said frustratingly.
"Hey, I told you he isn't like that, so stop making us believe he is!—"
"It's not my problem if you want to believe me or not! You two were the one who asked me his whereabouts! Go get his girlfriend and ask her about him, I'm busy and now I need to go so move!"
"Don't you dare say that about him!—"
"It is true!—"
She was cut short when Shikamaru gripped her right wrist twisting it in his anger.
"SHIKAMARU!" a voice shouted at the doorway.
All of them turned to look and saw Sasuke panting heavily but his face set and his eyes glaring dangerously.
"Sasuke!" Neji said.
"Let her go." Sasuke said walking towards them.
Shikamaru let go of Sakura's arm and then, turned to face Sasuke.
"Sasuke." Shikamaru said.
"Don't hurt her." Sasuke said his eyes narrowing.
Sakura was trying to ease the pain away from her broken wrist as she glared at the three of them.
The second bell rang echoingly around the room and Sakura made her way at once towards her locker.
"You two, move it." Sakura said in a cold tone with a trace of angriness in her voice.
"Do it." Sasuke said glaring the two of them.
The two moved away at once and let her through. Sakura moved towards her locker, opening it with her left hand. She dropped the books and her other materials she was going to use, one by one, on the floor, her bag of gummies held between her lips. She was on the last book, a thick hard bound one, when she accidentally dropped it on her right arm.
"Ah! ughhh..!" She winced at the pain her right wrist was giving her. (Her bag of gummies fell on the floor.)
"Sakura!" Sasuke said approaching her.
"Don't touch me!" Sakura said moving away but as she did, she accidentally tripped upon her pile of books and hit the ground hard with her back.
Sasuke knelt down beside her and started to pile up her stuff in his arms.
"What are you doing?" Sakura asked infuriatingly.
"Come on, let's go. You're late for your class." Sasuke said offering his hand.
Sakura glared at him and slapped his hand away. "Why are you helping me? Aren't you just like them!"
She shoved her materials out of his arms with one hand, and moving her right hand slowly, she bent down to pick up her bag of gummies. Then turning to Sasuke, she spoke.
"You know? I don't need help from people who in exchange would need to break my bones in order to make them really believe I was telling the truth."
Giving a glare at Shikamaru and Neji, she walked out of the door, carefully balancing her things with her hand as she climbed the stairs.
Sasuke punched the wall hard in his frustration and anger.
"Sasuke—"
"Just what did you do to her!" Sasuke asked angrily turning swiftly to them.
"Her arm was twisted…by…Shikamaru…" Neji said.
"It's her fault! She was telling bad things about you Sasuke! Should we let her go just like that!" Shikamaru cut in.
"What things?" Sasuke asked unkindly.
"She told us you were with a girl today at break. And we were telling her you never went out with anyone and that she wasn't telling the truth." Neji said.
"…Baka yaro! That stupid girl just did it great!" Sasuke said clenching his fists.
"See! I told you she was a liar—"
"No stupid! It wasn't Sakura I was talking about! Sakura was telling the truth at some point, although she misunderstood the whole thing…It was just there was this girl who had been my partner at one biology class and she was insane! She thought we were going out already! She popped in out of nowhere and clung to me during break while Sakura and I were talking and even called Sakura a stalker! She was a stalker herself, Sakura wasn't since I was the one who was talking with her!" Sasuke explained frustratingly.
"…Come on Sasuke…we'll just find a way to fix that later…" Shikamaru said pulling him out of the room towards the stairs.
Neji caught up with them and the three of them walked up hurriedly to room 2-4.
They entered the room and at once, Sasuke scanned the room to see where Sakura might be. However, he nor the other two found her not to be there, and her seat empty. Ino was sitting alone and was looking around as if she was searching for something.
"You three, it's quarter past break already. Why are you wandering around during class hours!" Their teacher snapped at them.
"Ugh…" Sasuke began unable to think of any explanation.
"Sasuke was hurt sensei!…ugh…his fist………bled!" Shikamaru invented.
"Yeah, we helped him fix it!" Neji added quickly.
Sasuke secretly punched Neji's arm. Neji looked at him in disbelief but Sasuke kept his eyes looking at their sensei.
"Act like you're hurt!" Sasuke said to Neji at the corner of his mouth.
Neji grabbed his arm and fakingly flinched in pain.
"Yeah, sensei! Neji bumped awhile ago at a hard metal stuff that's blocking our way and he also got hurt!" Sasuke explained smirking inwardly.
"We had a lot of trouble awhile ago especially there's a big crowd forming somewhere downstairs!" Shikamaru added.
"We're sorry for being late, please excuse us!" Sasuke said.
"Ah, ah…well take your seats then and we'll continue the class…I just thought you three were the same as Haruno-san…with reason so invalid…well anyway…let's get on with the lesson……" their sensei said.
'Haruno…san…moshikashite…Sakura!' Sasuke thought.
Sasuke immediately pulled Shikamaru and Neji to the free seats beside Ino and he himself sat next to her.
"…What are you three doing?" Ino asked with a puzzled expression.
"Hey Ino, do you know what happened to Sakura? Why did sensei say that she thought were same as her…invalid reason…that's stuff?" Sasuke asked interrupting her.
"She was…" Ino began but didn't dare continue.
A/n: Chapter 3 ends here. I don't think it's much of a cliffy but somehow, it can be. Actually, I'm not suppose to end the chapter right here, but if I don't, I will excede on the limit I placed on each chapters 'cause this one's gonna be really long. I'm really sorry I have not updated in such a long time. I'm already starting Chapter 4. For the meantime please review. Thank you very much to everyone and I'm really sorry.
Translations: (not exact but will do)
Naniyo – What (yo is like a suffix expression)
Baka yaro – is like a frustrated expression but it's translated literally as 'let's go stupid' or 'let's play stupid' or 'let's be stupid' kinda like that. Used by guys.
Sensei – teacher
'Haruno…san…moshikashite…Sakura!' – 'Haruno…it can't be…Sakura!' moshikashite actually means perhaps or possibly but the sentence is translated kinda like that. So go with it.
A/n: Please review and I will be back soon.
