Author's Note: Chapter 3 is up! And by green house, I mean it as in color green.

Hi- Inner Person Speaking

Itachi entered his/Kisame's lair. It wasn't much- It was a green house hidden in the middle of the forest and it was dark inside. He went into his room and sat down on his bed. "Kunoichi...," he whispered in a cold hiss. He removed his cloak, shirt,and sandals and laid down. Moments later, he slept.

"Sakura-chan!" a loud voice echoed through Sakura's head. Her eyes snapped open to find Naruto, Ino, Hinata, and Sasuke looking down at her. She gave them a small smile.

"Baka!" Ino growled, hitting Naruto on the head, "You were too loud! Now she's awake!" Naruto pouted and rubbed his aching head. Hinata managed to give a small, yet quiet giggle.

"Hey there you guys," Sakura greeted, "Why is everyone in my room?"

"Ohayo Sakura-chan," Naruto was the first to answer, "We're here because we were worried about you." Sakura raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"Sakura," Hinata barely whispered, "You were out forsix days. Everyone was worried."

"Six days?" Sakura piped. Am I okay?

"Yeah," Ino answered with a friendly smile, "So how are you feeling now?"

"Better than before," said Sakura, "Except that my neck sort of hurts a bit." She placed her hand behind her neck and rubbed it.

Sasuke felt guilt build up inside him. I did that. I'm so sorry... He frowned a bit and bowed his head. It's all my fault. Anymore injuries and she could've...died. Wait. Why do I care? He quietly huffed to himself.

Sakura looked up at Sasuke and asked, "Sasuke-kun...are you okay?"

Sasuke stared at her with a bit of shock in his eyes. She doesn't remember? He cleared his throat and replied emotionlessly, "Yeah." There was a moment of silence.

"O-kay," Ino yawned, breaking the awkward pause, "Well, I have to get back to the flower shop now. Bye." She exited the room.

"I forgot!" Naruto shouted at the top of his lungs, causing everyone to flinch, "Hinata! Remember Kakashi sensei told us he'd teach us a new technique?" Hinata nodded shyly. "It's today! And it starts in five minutes!"

"Oh no!" Hinata squeaked, "We're going to be late!"

"Bye everyone!" Naruto waved as he grabbed Hinata's hand and dashed right out of the...window? Hinata screamed as they descended to the ground, but soon the two were out of sight. Now, Sasuke and Sakura were left alone...

Sakura looked down at her hands and timidly played with her thumbs.She yelped a bit when she felt a hand on her forehead and saw that it was Sasuke's hand. She blushed furiously. What's he doing?

"Sakura," he whispered, "Are you well enough to go outside?" Sakura stared at him blankly. "Well, are you?"

"Uh...y-yeah. Sure," she stuttered.

"Then...will you go for a walk with me?"

Cha! Finally! He's asking you out!

He is not. He's just asking if I can walk with him. Why not?

Believe whatever pinky. But I still say he's asking you out.

Shut up and leave this to me. I have to act mature.

Pppfftt!

"Sure," Sakura replied after exiting her thoughts, "Just let me get ready." Sasuke nodded and went down the stairs to wait in her living room.

A few minutes later, Sakura came down looking WAY better than usual, even though she was in her casual outfit. "Ready?" Sasuke asked. Sakura nodded and they both went off on their walk.

They soon arrived at the park. It was still damp from the rain, but the cherry blossoms made it look welcoming. "Sakura," Sasuke started, "I'm..." he trailed off.

"Huh?" Sakura asked, "You're what Sasuke-kun?"

This is it. Just tell her. You can do this. He swallowed in every bit of his big ego. "I'm sorry!" he shouted.

Sakura flinched at his sudden mood swing. "Sorry for what?" she asked nervously.

"I did that to you! I'm the one who caused your pain in your neck! I pulled you up by your collarsix nights ago because you called me Uchiha! I take it as disrespect and I don't like being disrespected!"

"I'm...sorry," he mumbled.

"...Sasuke-kun..."

"Leave," came Sasuke's cold reply.He didn't even look at her.

Sakura stood next to him dumbfounded. Leave? He apologizes to me for once and then he tells me to leave? The nerve!

Cha! Show him a piece of your mind Sakura! There's no way we're gonna let him talk to us like that and let him walk away with it! Show no mercy!

"Sasuke Uchiha!" Sakura started with an enraged tone, "You come apologizing to me and then tell me to LEAVE? You've got a lot of nerve you...you-"

Sasuke glared at her. That did it. She completed with a shriek, "Bastard of an Uchiha!" and stomped off.

Sasuke stood at his spot with his head bowed. Nice one Sasuke. He shook his head in shame and walked off. That hurt. A lot.

"Ugh!" Sakura fumed as she entered her house, slamming the door behind her. "Stupid Sasuke!" She stood by the door pouting.

Knock, Knock! Sakura irritatedly opened the door and shouted, "Sasuke you-" She froze.

"Hello, kunoichi..."
