A/n: It's been a really long time since I typed up the previous chapter and ever since then, I got so busy with schoolwork and life. I am sorry to everyone if I take so long to update, please understand. I am also sorry if I can no longer answer reviews, even though, I really want to do so, but it's because banned it for every author, which is really a sad thing, but don't let that discourage you from reviewing! I still read them all! I got lots of news for everyone. So well, here it goes…

-As everyone would probably see, I changed the summary of this story…I just thought it would be a little bit more interesting to put it like that. And it kind of leaves a thought on people's minds so yeah…I'm kind of the person who likes that…sweatdrops and tries to smile

-Chapter five is the last chapter of the first day. Whew! And Chapter six is a new day. But I must say…this chapter is going to be longer than the others…

-I'm making my second story for the anime Naruto, also a sasukeXsakura fic. This one is really different, based in reality (no one knows who's real life it is, but me and it is true), but you may find some things that will look similar to the one in the anime.

-I changed my penname here as everyone sees…but I think everyone who looks for this story will still find it…right? But, yeah I'll say it here: "anime kokosei girl miyaru"

-If anyone wants to ask something to me, and wants me to reply, e-mail me.

-For people who are reading my two Fushigi Yuugi fic. I'm sorry but I'm kind of in the writer's block for those two right now, but if you have some ideas on how you might want the story to continue then please tell me, and I will think about it and perhaps write it.

-I will no longer mention Ibuki Miko's name on the disclaimer, I'm tired of claiming her. So just remember she's just OC ok?

-I'm gonna put some Japanese words now, but very rare, so don't worry. I just really need it. Ok? Thanks.

I think that's it. On with the chapter…

Chapter 5: From detention brings a new start


Sakura gave one last glare at Naruto, and then she followed Sasuke out of the room.

'Oh no! Only two minutes left!'

She glanced at her watch, and then she broke into a run, hurrying towards the biology lab, but as she did so, Sasuke stopped her.

"Eh!" Sakura exclaimed turning around.

Sasuke just pushed a note at her hand then with one last glance at her, he disappeared out of sight.

Sakura looked at her clutched hand where the note was, smiling faintly as he disappeared out of her sight, she hurried off to the biology lab. (ok…she didn't read it or anything, she just looked at it. okay?)


She grabbed the doorknob and pushed the door open. Then, taking the book she was suppose to copy on, she quickly flipped the pages and started scribbling down. She wasn't even half way of writing the first line, when the bell rang and students started to fill in the classroom. (She wasn't half way of first line because she was using her left hand, she broke her right remember? And in here, Sakura is right-handed….I'm trying to imagine how would that look…if she tries to write fast using a hand she don't usually use to write for.)

'Oh no!...' Sakura thought as she started to speed up writing.

She felt a hand on her shoulder and then she turns around and saw the teacher looking at her.

"Sensei! gomen nasai! I was—"

"Haruno-san it's ok. One of your friends told me what happened. You can go back to your class or do your next errand ok? I had you excused from this work. Off you go then."

Sakura was stunned. She stared blankly at their teacher, and then after what seemed like a long time, she was back to herself and bowed in thanks.

"Sensei, thank you so much! I will work hard!"


She left out of the room and ran off to her next detention, meeting Shikamaru on her way. She tried to walk past him but he called her and pulled her back.

"Shikamaru." Sakura stated.

"Sakura, I know I hurt you awhile ago, I'm sorry for that. Sasuke explained it all to us, and everything was a misunderstanding, including you, the girl, and Sasuke. And speaking of the girl, she was, is, and never was Sasuke's girl. I thought, someone ought to clear that out for you. That's all, I won't delay you any longer now. I'm sorry you also got detention." Shikamaru said.

"…Ok. Well, it's good you know it was not a lie from me. There's nothing to be done to take this detention off though, it's already here. I'd just say you better go before they put you in detention too." Sakura said.

"Sasuke is a nice guy, don't misunderstand him. You'll understand this statement one day."

Shikamaru left her with a smile and then he turned to the opposite direction, leaving her with a thought of his words.


Sakura climbed the last stairs to the fourth floor corridor, and she froze on her tracks as she found the all floorboards shining clean.

"What the—How did this happen?" Sakura said to herself.


Flashback

"Sasuke is a nice guy, don't misunderstand him. You'll understand this statement one day."

End Flashback


Sakura suddenly remembered Shikamaru's words and then Sasuke's note to her. She quickly felt around her pocket and pulled out the folded note that Sasuke had given to her, began unfolding it then reading it.

I got out two of your detentions free.

Sasuke

Sakura smiled a real smile for the first time that day. She folded the note and put it back in her pocket, as the bell rang echoingly around the floor, signaling the end of classes for the day.


People began bursting out of the rooms, and Sakura looked around the crowd for any sign of Sasuke or his friends but she can't see him…at least not yet.

Someone suddenly pushed her from behind, and she nearly fell down the stairs but a strong grip caught her arm and pulled her back from falling. She had a blur of orange clothing that she recognized the one who must have pushed her and she turned her head to see who saved her.

"Sasuke—"

"Stay here Sakura. I'll get him for that.—" Sasuke said heading off but Sakura stopped him.

"No wait! Don't. It's ok. At least, just now it is. I'll do it Sasuke." Sakura said and she shouted out Naruto's name.

Everyone stopped, looking at her and only Naruto had his back turned to her.

She took out the small velvety box he gave her earlier this morning and she hurried down the stairs, stopping in front of him and thrusting it back to his hands.

"I don't think your thoughts here are real. And since it's not…I don't need this and I don't think I would want it." Sakura said.

With that, she took a step back and slapped him really hard in the face. Then with a dark glare of her blazing eyes, she glanced at him once, before she went back up to where Sasuke was waiting.


"I got you free for about one and half an hour now, I guess. Tennis practices aren't suppose to be finished till half past five." Sasuke said as they walked along the school grounds.

Sakura smiled. "Thank you Sasuke…for everything you did to me. I'm sorry I was rude to you before…I just thought you are like those other two…" Sakura said.

Sasuke took her bag from her, as she could not carry it since her wrist was broken. She glanced at him before she spoke up once more.

"…Why are you so nice to me…?"

"Why shouldn't I be? …Why do you ask?" Sasuke said.

"…umm…I don't know…I'm just curious…cause it's not like everyday…someone's being so nice to you…and I'm not those people who're among the popular…so…it just…seems…weird…" Sakura said.

"…you should know then, Haruno, that I'm not necessarily being nice to you…" Sasuke said.

(This puts the story into some kind of twist. laughs Well, I'd have you guys see this unpredictable. Sasuke is not being rude though. He just tries to keep his cool now. Of course, with a reason, you'll find out sooner or later.)

Sakura's eyebrows knitted for awhile in confusion, and then she shook her thoughts away. She took Sasuke's arm and pulled him outside the school grounds towards the machi.

(I'm sorry…I kind of not know anymore how you call the machi in English…so…yeah…but I'll try to have some translation of it down there.)

"It's ok. I don't mind if it seems to you that you're not being nice to me. At least I think you are, so I want to thank you." Sakura said, pulling him inside a clothes' store.

"Wha—!"

"Shhh…don't argue. Just come with me." Sakura silenced him.


45 minutes after…
Sakura came out carrying a bag of clothing and Sasuke, walking along behind her, carrying their school bags. It was getting windy that afternoon, and Sakura smiled at the coincidence. (Coincidence of what, find out later.) She turned around and looked at Sasuke.

"You don't want anything?" Sakura asked him.

"…No. Or if I had wanted something in there, I won't tell you which one it was though." Sasuke said, smirking inwardly at his reply. (You're really keeping your cool alright Sasuke, although…time to crash it up a little bit…so here it is. winks and laughs)


Sakura looked at him for awhile with her expression telling him he was unbelievable, yet it seemed to her he was doing it on purpose…and to her surprise, she didn't even find it at the least bit, annoying at all.
Sasuke found her reaction not the way he expected it. He saw her smile at him then she opened her shopping bag and pulled out a muffler in the color of different shades of blue, blending with white and black in it.

"W-what are you—"

Sakura wrapped the muffler around his neck gently, her hands, arranging the style perfectly. "There you go. It's kind of windy today. I figured that would give you some warmth."

"Sakura…you don't have to—"

"I want to. It's a gift Sasuke. Please take it." Sakura insisted before he finished his sentence.

"How did you know?" Sasuke asked her.

Sakura turned around at him with a puzzled expression. "Hmmm…? Know what? I know what?"

Sasuke's eyes widened realizing he nearly let it slip at him and he looked away.

"…Nevermind…forget what I said."

He started to walk back towards the direction of the school and Sakura immediately caught up with him and pulled his arm back.

"Wait! Tell me what it is I know." Sakura said.

"It doesn't matter…" Sasuke replied.

"It does! Come on, tell me!" Sakura insisted.

"Not in a million years Sakura. I won't give in to that." Sasuke replied.

Sakura pouted but continued to walk along with him.


They reached the school finally and Sakura took her bag from Sasuke. "Thanks a lot Sasuke. I'll see you tomorrow." Sakura said.

Sasuke just smiled slightly at her and watched her turn her back and walk towards the tennis courts where she would be resuming to her detention once more.


After Four hours…
Sakura was finally done with the tennis courts and the library, and was on her way to the teacher's lounge, opening the door and coming in.

"Ara…Kakashi-sensei. Are you the only one left here?" Sakura asked.

"mhmm…why do you ask?" Kakashi replied to her.

"…I need you to sign this…and give a final errand for me to do as a detention." Sakura replied, crossing her fingers behind her back, in hope that the detention would be lighter, considering it was already half past nine.

There was a scratching of pen as Kakashi signed it and then, afterwards, giving it back to Sakura, he stood up and walked outside the door.

Sakura hurried up to him. "Wait Sensei! What am I going to do?" Sakura asked.

Kakashi turned to her, smirking. "Follow me to the Gym."


The gym was a really huge one, and running a lap at the whole gym would be about running one and a half mile. Sakura looked around and pondered on her thoughts on what he might ask her to do.
Kakashi faced her and folded his arms across his chest. "You're one of the fastest runners among the girls of this high school, I believe. Well then. This is your last errand. We play Hide and Seek."

Sakura simply stared at him, still not getting what everything is about.

"Hide wherever you want to, as long as it is inside this gym. I will look for you, and at the same time I will try to hide myself from you. You will do the same thing for me. And for each game, the first one who gets behind the other, and was able to catch him/her, wins. To catch me, you touch my back and say "I caught you." We play this for three times, and you must win against me, for at least once. And if you do, then you're out of this detention. If not, we shall see about that."

Sakura just stared at him unable to believe on what they were actually going to do.

'Hide and Seek! What on earth is he thinking about? Seriously!'

"Start!" Kakashi shouted and before Sakura knew it, the lights were dimmed creating shadows around them.

Sakura jumped back and hid behind a post as her eyes scanned the gym frantically for any sign of Kakashi.

He was nowhere to be found. As if answering her wishes in a strange sort of way, a hand touched her back and she heard words clear. "I caught you."

Sakura looked around and there was Kakashi behind her. She screamed, scared at the moment and she tripped, falling on her back.

The lights once more turned bright. Kakashi stopped by her side and helped her up.

"You have to move Haruno. If you stop at one place, it's easy to find you. That's why I challenged you here because I know you move quick. Show me that now, and catch me behind my back."

With that, Kakashi jumped off and the lights dimmed once more.

Sakura ran along the benches, jumping here and there and she was running so fast, she actually passed right in front of Kakashi without her noticing, and Kakashi, smirking once more, touched her back with no effort at all. "I caught you. Haruno."

Sakura skidded to a stop once more and the light turned bright. She fell on her knees and tried to concentrate with herself.

"You ran Haruno. But you barely looked around to find a chance to catch me."

'Last one Sakura. You have to do it.' She thought to herself desperately.


The lights dimmed once more and a thought came to her.
Sakura went to the center of the gym, where she saw there's a lot of light than all the other places and she sat down.

It was the last time of Hide and Seek and she sat down.


She had her hands touching the floor and her eyes staring straight at the gym floor. She dared not move an inch although she had her feet ready to move. It was then, when she saw a shadow of Kakashi's hair the stood up on his head, that she found out he was behind her. Her hands immediately brought support for her and she turned her body around, her leg swinging at the dark, nevertheless, she had hit Kakashi's leg, thus tripping him.

She quickly stood up and pinned him to the ground, then her hand touching his back, she smiled in relief and shouted out the words. "I caught you!"


The lights all brightened up once more, and Kakashi had his face planted to the floor, his hand pinned at his side, Sakura touching his back, her face gleaming with relief.

Afterwards, she moved away to let Kakashi gather himself up.

"You did a remarkable job Haruno. You're dismissed from detention." Kakashi said as he patted her shoulder before he walked of towards the exit.

He looked at her and spoke up the strangely before he closed the door behind him.

"Someone's watching you since you came to the lounge. Watch yourself Haruno."


Sakura's eyes widened and she ran for the door, but as she tried to open it, it was already locked. Darkness, total darkness covered the gym, except for the moonlight rays which shone at the windows above the gym; and Sakura, turning around, saw a figure standing at the moonlight, head bowed down but eyes glowing, blazing…darkly.

"Who's here!" Sakura asked.

However, she was met punch narrowly missing her. And before she knew it, the figure was beside her. She screamed.

She hit her head hard at the wall by accident, and she lost her consciousness, knowing nothing more of that night.
