Chapter 5

"Hey Sakura, you're skipping club again? Aren't you supposed to be the manager?" asked Tenten.

"I don't care, it's over anyway…" muttered Sakura as she slammed her locker shut.

"It will be fine if you explain it to him. He'll understand." Said Tenten.

"No…I was the one who wrote the letter to him in the first place. And I was the one who kissed another guy. He must think I'm a shallow girl."

"So you're going to let him misunderstand you like that?"

"I don't care anymore…" said Sakura tiredly.

"Sakura," another voice said all of a sudden.

Sakura looked up and to her surprise, she saw Jun.

"Are you free right now? I need to talk to you."

"I…um…"

"I'll catch you later Sakura." Said Tenten as she looked at Sakura in concern and left.

"Sorry about the manager position…" said Sakura, her head down.

"You don't have to come anymore."

"What?" Sakura jerked her head up.

"Because you didn't come for so many days, it bothers us too. We don't want a manager who isn't serious about her job." Replied Jun.

Sakura was too shocked to speak as she looked at Jun walking away from her. Walking away from her life forever. She sighed and started to head home. Dark clouds were hovering about her and it looked like it was about to start pouring. Sakura quickened her steps. All of a sudden, two men in suits walked up to her.

"Miss Haruno, please come with us. Mr Uchiha invites you to his house." One of them spoke as he took hold of Sakura's arms and pulled her towards a car.

"What? Why?" Sakura asked but to her annoyance, there was no reply.

Finally, after twenty minutes, a large house came into view.

"Wow…what a big, beautiful house…" Sakura said.

"Sakura darling! Welcome home!" Mr Uchiha said as he grabbed Sakura and pulled her into the house before Sakura could say anything.

"U..uncle…what's going on?"

"Dear Sakura, your mom went away to see you grandmother, so she asked me to take of you for a few days!" he said cheerily.

"Oh…ok. Thanks." Said Sakura unenthusiastically.

Mr Uchiha didn't seem to pick up her bad mood.

"My lovely daughter, I'm cooking your favorite chicken curry tonight! I heard from your mom that you loved it!"

"Er…Thanks?" said Sakura awkwardly.

"Well go make yourself comfortable while I cook!"

Sakura nodded and started to walk towards what she thought was the living room. When she turned into the room, she knocked into someone. Sakura looked up and frowned. Damn, he's home already…, she thought.

"Were you looking for me?"

"NO!" Sakura yelled.

"So what are you doing here?" asked Sasuke.

"My mom went to visit my grandmother and she left me in your dad's care."

"Hey kids, dinner's almost ready! Sakura dear, could you set the table for me please?"

"Sure," Sakura shouted back and she hurried over to the dining room with Sasuke close behind her.

Jeez, just what I needed today…I just wanted to go home and hide under my blanket and cry. Why did mom have to go visiting today…thought Sakura as she laid the plates on the table. She felt a pair of eyes boring straight at the back of her skull and she turned. Sasuke was staring at her and smiling. She turned around as soon as she met his eyes.

What was that unguarded look just now? It's confusing me…He only knows how to bother and annoy me. A guy that's a year younger than I am who always does things according to his own desires. A bad boy who doesn't know the meaning of fear. Which is the real Sasuke? Sakura thought.

The next morning, Sakura woke up with a terrible headache. She hadn't slept well last night due to the fact that Jun hates her now. She looked around groggily and wondered where was she. And then, someone spoke to her.

"Good morning."

"Good morning," she replied.

Then she blinked her eyes and looked at the direction of the voice.

"AARRGG! I fell asleep on your bed! Where's uncle?" Sakura screamed.

"He's in his own room sleeping." Replied Sasuke.

What the hell…what if something happened to me…how could uncle be so irresponsible! Sakura thought.

"You were talking in your sleep." Said Sasuke.

"No way!"

"You said I love Sasuke."

"S…Stop joking! I did no such thing!" Sakura shrieked as she ran out of his room into the bathroom.

"No! No!" she yelled to her reflection in the mirror.

We slept on the same bed yesterday. How can I give him such chances! Sakura thought in horror. But the look I saw yesterday…that innocent look. I cant get it out of my mind…why?

Later in school…

"Sakura! Those people told me that you came to school together with the principal and his son. You're not living with them already are you?" asked Tenten curiously.

"Tenten! Keep it down!" muttered Sakura as she glanced over at Jun.

"Today's volunteer, please go to the library and get us the world map," their teacher said.

"Oh, that's me. Talk to you later Tenten." Said Sakura and she got up from her seat and headed to the library.

"Oh my, they are living together already…it's dangerous!" whispered a girl beside Tenten.

"I heard that he even stole her first kiss." Whispered another student.

All of a sudden, Jun stood up and slammed his fist on his table and walked out of the classroom. Tenten looked on anxiously and hoped that everything was going to be okay. Sakura had enough problems already.

At the library…

Even I know I've been hated, I still don't want Jun to know about Sasuke…Sakura thought. She was engrossed in looking for the map that she didn't realize that Jun was standing next to her.

"Sakura…"

"Jun…is everything ok?"

"What should I do?"

"What?" Sakura asked confused.

"From a long time ago, when I knew the girl whom I like are destined to be together, do you know how happy I was? But…that girl kissed another man…"

No way! He's saying the girl he likes…is me? Sakura thought.

"Sasuke was the one who grabbed me!" Sakura protested.

"I don't care about the truth! The fact is that both of you kissed right? I was angry, I was bothered. Tell me what should I do" Jun asked as he stepped menacingly towards her.

Back in the classroom…

"Where's Sakura?"

Tenten looked up from her geography book and came face to face with Sasuke.

"Erm…she's…"

"She's in the library. In the information room. And Jun's with her." Interrupted another girl.

"And that information room is a private room…I wonder what will they do…" said another.

"Hey…stop talking nonsense, She…" Before Tenten could finish her sentence, Sasuke was nowhere to be seen.

"Uh oh…" Tenten said as she stood up and left the classroom too ignoring the protest of her teacher.

Back in the library…

Jun walked towards a trembling Sakura and punched his fist straight at her. Sakura closed her eyes in terror but his fist never came into contact with her face. She opened one eye and saw that he had slammed his fist onto the wall and it was bleeding. Sakura was scared. She had never seen Mr Nice Guy Jun acting like this before. He should be a gentle person. The perfect guy. Why is he acting so differently now?

"You like me right?" his deep voice broke her thoughts.

"You…you're not the Jun I know! He wouldn't do something like that!" Sakura said,her voice trembling in fear.

"What is that supposed to mean? Don't say anything about me if you don't know me. And don't compare me to your fantasies!" he yelled.

"If you guys wanna do something like this, lock the door. Otherwise, you'll be interrupted."

"Sasuke!" cried Sakura.

"Sakura!" shouted Tenten as she, too, walked into the information room. "Are you okay? He…" she paused when she saw the three of them staring at each other.

Sasuke started to walk towards Sakura and Jun. He brushed past Jun without giving him a look.

"Sakura, I felt your lunch in you classroom. Dad made it."

Sakura just stared. Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and ran out of the room in tears.

"Sakura!" called Tenten as she chased after her.

After a minute or two, Tenten finally caught up with her.

"Sakura, don't cry! I'll think of something to get you and Jun together."

"No…it's not that. I actually felt relieved."

"Huh?"

"Jun's face was really scary that time and I was actually relieved to see Sasuke…I don't know…Jun was so different. It made me wonder why I liked him in the first place. At that time, I saw Sasuke's face and I my heart felt so relieved…"

"Sakura, don't tell me you're…"

"I don't know whom should I think of anymore!" cried Sakura as she ran off leaving Tenten with a confused expression.

I guess I can't help her when I cant even help myself, sighed Tenten.

Later at night…

"Sasuke, you're back!" said Mr Uchiha with his usual cheerful voice.

"Yeah…"

"What happened to Sakura? Mr Uchiha asked when he didn't see her beside Sasuke.

"What? She isn't home yet?"

"No…I thought she's coming home with you. She wouldn't be at her own house because her mom wont be back until tomorrow." Said Mr Uchiha worriedly.

……………………………………………………………………………………………

"I should go home…I'm so stupid…" muttered Sakura to herself as her tears kept falling.

I want to disappear too…she thought.

"Really? You're stupid?"

Sakura looked up from the swing she was sitting. What is he doing here? She thought as she wiped her tears off hurriedly.

"I was wondering who would be so stupid to sit here and cry all by herself. So it's our big sister."

"I'm not crying!"

"Why are you always crying?"

"I'm not!"

"Looks like you're crying to me. Is it because of me?" Sasuke asked seriously.

"No…it's my own problem…"

"And…what are you going to do about it?"

"I…"

"Don't think about it anymore. It's past."

Sakura looked into Sasuke's eyes. She thought of the other time when one of his friends said that they stuck with Sasuke not because he is the principal's son. It's because he really like him. Miraculously, her heart felt lighter than before.

"Come on, let's go home, I'm hungry." Sasuke said.

Sakura nodded as she hopped on the bicycle.

"Hey Sasuke, did you come out looking for me?"

"You must be kidding…You're so heavy…"

Sakura giggled. "Sorry!"

Next day in school…

"Jun, I need to talk to you…" said Sakura.

"Spit."

"I…I'm sorry. But I like Sasuke."

"You're so low class. It's ok, because I don't care." With that, he walked off.

"Sakura, why are you crying? You dumped him." Tenten asked in concern.

"Because…because Sasuke taught me…"

………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Oh look! It's Sakura! Long time no see," exclaimed Shikamaru.

"Yeah, where are you guys going?" Sakura asked Shikamaru and Sasuke.

"We're going to our biology class. Well, I'll just go ahead. Sasuke, catch me up later ok?" said Shikamaru.

"Is something wrong?" Sasuke asked Sakura.

"I…I just want to thank you."

"Why?"

"Uh…there are a lot of reasons…"

"Sorry made you fall for me, my dearest sister?"

"What? Who's falling for you? You wish!" stammered Sakura.

Gosh, even thought that was what I said, it doesn't mean that its true…Me, falling for my future brother. That sounds kind of weird…thought Sakura as she dashed away.

Unknown to her, another pair of blue eyes was, again, staring at her flashing in anger…
