Weird

Kano peered into Sakura's office and smiled. She was hunched over some papers and tapping a pencil against her lips. Then her face broke out in a happy gasp and she quickly scribbled down something.

"How's my busy bumble bee?" asked Kano smiling pleasantly as he walked into the room. "Thirsty? Hungry? Tired?"

Sakura looked up surprised, then half smiled and half blushed at his concern and at the sight of him…however, suddenly remembering what happened earlier, she frowned at him. Kano, noticing the look on her face, looked at her a little puzzled.

"Is there something wrong, Sakura-chan?" asked Kano.

"No…I mean yes…ano, about what you did…" she said nervously. She avoided his eyes and twirled her pencil in her hands.

Kano, scrunching up his face in deep thought, tried to remember. Sakura couldn't help noticing how cute he looked and wanted to hit herself. Ugh, no noticing the boss. No noticing the boss. No noticing the boss…I wonder what's Sasuke doing…OMG what am I thinking!

Sakura looked up timidly and saw Kano break out in a smile just in time. He grinned handsomely. Sakura felt her cheeks burn up, but refused to let it distract her.

"Well…let's just leave it up for you to think about," Kano winked, and then he left the room. Sakura blinked several times dumbfounded. Oh why me…! Um…just don't think about it…Sakura, ganbare!

Sakura finished everything for that afternoon and got up to leave. Stretching out her tired hands, she yawned. Picking up her bag, she locked her office and walked slowly to the elevators. She dropped her keys when the door opened to reveal Kano.

"Kano-sama…konnichiwa…" Sakura said, but trailed off when she spotted someone else inside the elevator. The dark hair, the good looks, the standoffish attitude, the authoritative air…Sakura knew who it was. She bowed and said, "Konnichiwa, Sasuke-sama."

He replied with a 'heh' but she wasn't surprised. After all, it was Sasuke.

Sakura was going to say something to thank him for the chocolates, but Sasuke just made it clear that he didn't want to talk to her nor did he care. With his hands in his pockets, he made no eye contact with her as the two young men walked out of the elevator. Then when he looked at her, it was with an unfriendly and distracted look, with which he turned away again. She blinked in surprise and confusion.

"We're here to invite you to dinner," Kano said pleasantly.

Sakura just gave Sasuke one look and decided. "No thank you, Kano-sama. It's very nice of you, but I've got plans for tonight. Maybe another night when I'm not busy and if it is still of your convenience." She gave Kano a sweet smile and a careless smile to Sasuke.

"Aww, that is too bad," Kano said with genuine disappointment. "Good night then."

He went over to Sakura who was already in the elevator and bent to kiss her on the cheek. Sakura's eyes widened at that moment as she realized what he intended to do. To Sakura's astonishment, she saw a subtle hint of rage in Sasuke's handsome eyes as he realized what Kano was going to do.

"Kano," Sasuke called, his voice cool and commanding, stopping Kano just a few centimeters away from Sakura's soft skin.

"Doushite no, Sasuke-kun?" Kano asked good-naturedly as he looked up. Kano smiled with the smile of someone who knew a secret. Kano chuckled and ran his hand through his hair. "Daijobu?

"I'll take Sakura home tonight," Sasuke said. There was no nonsense in his voice. It was direct and he meant what he said. Strolling into the elevator, his eyes on Kano, Sasuke said, "I'll talk to you tomorrow. Ja." Then the elevator doors closed, providing a barrier between them and Kano.

Sakura who was silent all this time, blinked several times in disbelief. She couldn't believe what had just happened. Deciding not to think too much into it, she just stayed silent throughout the elevator ride and let Sasuke lead her to his posh car. She trusted him for some weird, inexplicable reason; she knew he wouldn't harm her. Hah…I am so confused…hahaha…

While Sasuke was driving along the bright Tokyo streets, Sakura watched the stores absentmindedly. Then Sasuke suddenly spoke.

"For now, he's your boss," Sasuke said, his voice, again emotionless and just direct, with no nonsense. "He's not supposed to do anything inappropriate."

"Hai…" Sakura said softly as she peered at him. His eyes, as usual dark and cold, were on the street. His hands, skillfully navigating the car through the traffic-filled Tokyo streets, were on the steering wheel. Sakura blushed as she remembered their hands touching and quickly pushed out of her mind. Sakura wondered miserably as she questioned whether he was just doing it for the sake of rules and regulations or if he… Ahhhh I'm going crazy. No thinking. No thinking. No thinking…By the way…what happened! Sakura searched desperately for the feelings of hate she had for Sasuke not long ago.

Sakura gave out a sigh and peeked at Sasuke just as he took a quick glimpse of her. Making eye contact, Sakura turned away alarmed and fiddled with her fingers while Sasuke gave out a small, awkward 'ahem.'

They continued being silent, but Sasuke, realizing that he didn't know where Sakura lived, awkwardly forced himself to say something.

"Ano…Sakura-chan, ahem, where do you live again…?" Sasuke asked, a little red in the face.

Sakura stifled a giggle and replied softly, "Takahashi Buildings."

"I see," said Sasuke and turned sharply onto another road.

They rode in silence. Reaching the tall apartment buildings, he stopped the car. Neither of them knew what to say exactly. Sakura got out, bowed, and said, "Arigato gozaimashita. Ano, sayonara."

Sasuke said goodbye as well in his usual cold tone, but only this time, with a hint of awkwardness. He waited until she reached the gate and went inside the building, then sped off. Sakura turned around and watched as the car became smaller and smaller, eventually vanishing out of sight…Sasuke…
