Chapter 2:Stupid and Useless Jealousy

The wind blew through my hair. It's the kind of wind that sends a chill through every bone in your body. I don't care if it's cold or if the sun is setting or if I've been here for hours. I will stay here until she comes to meet me. She said she would be here and we would go out somewhere like we usually did. This is where I would see her long cherry blossom coloured hair blowing behind her. This is where I'm going to stand until I see those bright green eyes light up. She said to meet her here and I'm going to wait for her because I promised I would.

Flashback

I thought she would refrain from my next usual check up because I had pushed her away when she had tried to open up. I was in bed trying hard not to think about my failed mission but that was hard to do when I was left alone. I didn't sleep at all last night thinking about that.. and something else.

"Sasuke? It's me, Sakura."

Hn, I guess she proved me wrong. She seemed to be doing that a lot lately.. especially when it came to her behaviour. Well, she'll probably act cold and uncaring to show that she's still angry with me…her voice does sound a little strained.

I was getting a little restless so I decided to get out of my room. That's when I saw the reason why her voice sounded strained. She was carrying two giant paper bags filled up with something that was apparently pretty heavy. She struggled over to my counter without asking for any help; maybe she was trying to seem strong? I grumbled and walked over to her and took the bags.

I was shocked to find every kind of fresh food available...stuff that I had never been in possession of in my life. I put the junk down on the counter before I turned to her.

"Thank-"

"What the hell is all of this?"

"Well a few days ago, I saw that you didn't have anything to eat so I decided to help make it a bit more liveable around here"

She opened my fridge and started to throw out the mouldy crap and put the new food in. I was once again clueless as to what I should say to her and confused as hell as to why I cared enough to want to say anything to her at all. Wasn't she supposed to hate me? Wasn't she supposed to be at home angry with me for my outburst even though she had devoted her time to me? But instead, she was concerned again and buying me food. No one had ever thought about my eating habits before. No one cared enough about that. Everyone wanted to know if I could fight harder or faster or for longer periods of time. But that was not what she was concerned about.

"Thanks" I tried saying it in the quietest, most mumbled tone I could possibly get away with hoping that she didn't hear me-

"Your welcome" She said simply, but she turned her head to look at me and flashed me a genuine smile. Not one of those flirtatious ones she used to give me, and not one where she was hiding something like she'd give me now after my return but a real unadulterated smile.

I suddenly felt like I wanted to do something that would make her turn around and do that again. But then I stopped and realized what I was truly thinking about. What the hell was wrong with me? This is Sakura. Sakura 'Annoying Weak Brat' Haruno. So what happened to her annoying weak brat persona? When did she become mature and seemingly not so weak? And the million dollar question that I tried to pretend I wasn't thinking about: Why didn't she respond to me the way she used to?…that was the real truth behind my sleepless night.

I shook all those annoying questions out of my head; they were giving me a headache. I looked over at her again and realized that she was dressed differently. She was wearing dark jeans and a black top that was…fitted finished with black heals. It was simple but looked fancy and there was no doubt about it…she was a woman now. I don't think I had ever seen her dressed like this. After a few minutes, I forced myself to stop staring and cleared my throat and tried to clear my head..again.

"Where are you going tonight?" I tried to sound nonchalant

She glanced at me, "Out"

"By yourself?"

She giggled, "No silly, with someone else"

Trying to control some unreasonable anger I replied, "Who?"

"A guy I met from the hospital"

I felt anger again. Why was I angry? So what if she made plans with a guy on the day she was supposed to make sure I was healing properly? Good for her, at least now she'd be off my back..not likely!..right?

She came over to the counter where I had sat down and started to take off my shirt. I jumped when her fingers met my skin. It was unexpected..that's all.

"Hold on, I want to check your ribs"

"They haven't been broken for a month"

"Yes well, they still might be a bit weak, I just want to make sure they're still healing."

She goes through the rest of the check up, in her normal routine, but this time I can't help but notice that she's uncomfortably close and her hair keeps brushing against my chest and her fingers felt soft and warm over every scar she went over. I blame it on the fact that I haven't been with anyone in a long time. She finishes and I can see that she is in a hurry.

"OK, well I'm finished here, I should get going."

I wanted to yell at her. How dare she put her date ahead of her job of assuring that I am doing well!

"Whatever, these things are stupid anyway. Do you really ever find anything new or concerning during these check ups?-"

"If your next question is 'why can't you just stop coming?' just stop right there because you ask me every time and you already know the answer."

Did she just cut me off?

She walked to the door "I'm leaving"

I just walked back into my room and fell on the bed. I tried to not think about how soft her hair was or how good she looked or how she was going off to meet 'a guy.' I closed my eyes…most of all, I forced myself to not get up and follow her and beat the shit out of that guy. I tried to just sleep.

End of Flashback

That was the first time she had made me feel something other than what any teammate would feel for their team. That was the first time anyone had provoked something as stupid and useless as jealousy. Although at the time, I didn't know it was jealousy, or I just didn't admit it. After all, what was there to be jealous about? I had never liked her and never saw anything more to her than an annoying weak brat I had to protect out of duty.

She had that effect on me. She was and is the only one who can have that effect. So that is why I am here waiting for her even though it is now dark. She said this is where we would meet and I promised her. I won't break my promise…especially to her.
