Sakura awoke to find herself in her room. She blinked a couple of times and quickly sat up, panicking and whipping her head around like some insane maniac who was lost in the middle of nowhere. A bunch of things ran through her head, but only one name made her panic more- Tsunade. She screamed and fainted on her bed.
Little did she know that a certain Uchiha was watching her from her window...
"The kunoichi works too hard," Itachi mumbled under the collar of his cloak, "It's driving her crazy."
"She's almost mental," Kisame remarked with a dark grin. Itachi sent him a death glare and he clamped his mouth shut.
Itachi then stared at Sakura a bit more through the window and asked Kisame, "Who are the people she's closest to?"
"Hm...," Kisame pondered, "I've heard about only a few and seen many. There's Hatake Kakashi, The Hokage Tsunade, InoYamanaka, Rock Lee, Naruto Uzumaki, and..." He stopped.
Itachi's ears seemed to perk as he looked back to Kisame and sternly asked, "And?"
Kisame smiled evilly. "Sasuke Uchiha. Unfortunately, your brother doesn't seem to show much of a bond towards her."
Now it was Itachi's turn to smirk. "It's time to teach Little Sasuke how NOT to take precious blessings for granted." He looked away from Kisame and murmured venomously, "We'll start after a week has passed. We need to make observations." Kisame nodded and the two Akatsuki members left Sakura's area.
"Oohh," Sakura groaned. She came back to her senses and awoke from her slumber. She got up andlookedinto her mirror. He pink hair was in complete disorder, her emerald eyes were dull-colored, she also had small bags under her them, and her face was flushed deep red. "I'm so sick...," she mumbled groggily as she stiffly made her way down the stairs, to the kitchen.
She went to the fridge and took out her medicine- which Tsunade gave to her, but she was too sick to notice the note on it. She quickly took out a spoon from a cabinet and took two full doses of the medicine and sat down with a soft sigh.
Knock, Knock, Bam! Sakura got up from her chair and limped to the door and opened it. "Sasuke," she asked sleepily. It was raining outside, and the truth was, she couldn't really see the person standing in front her. She was just guessing.
"Sakura," the voice said urgently, "Kakashi needs to see you now." It was Sasuke.
Wow. I was right. "Stupid Uchiha," she hissed weakly, "Can't you see I'm sick?" Her fever was making her delirious; she thought of Sasuke as Naruto.
That's it! "Who do you think I am!" Sasuke snapped, "Naruto! Now get your lazy ass over here now! Kakashi said that it was urgent!"
"The nerve of you!" Sakura fumed with all her strength, "Who DO you think you are? Knocking and bangingon someone's door on a rainy day and then yelling at them? Well to me, you're just some ignorant bastard, Uchiha!"
Suddenly, Sakura was lifted from the ground by her night shirt's collar. She gasped. "Don't you EVER talk to me like that!" Sasuke roared, "Do you understand?" No response...or movement. Sasuke's eyes widened a tad. He instantly lowered Sakura and found her asleep with a very red face and heavy breathing. "So...she really is sick." He scooped her up and carried her up the stairs bridal style.
When Sasuke arrived in her bedroom, he gently placed her on her soft bed and covered her with the sheets. He sadly looked down at her. She was just so...innocent. She's so weak and mindless. After that, he left her room and then her house. "I'm sorry...," he whispered to himself, but the apology was to Sakura.
From a nearby tree, Itachi sat on a branch with a smirk. He had seen the 'incident' and was very amused. He just had to work his plan into action at the right moment. It wouldn't be long...
