Lucky Number 7

Click.

The door clicked shut behind her as she gently pushed it. Sasuke didn't look; he didn't need to. Sakura, quietly and carfully walked over to Sasuke's bedside table and placed two bags on them.

"Sasuke-kun," she started with a whisper " I need to change your bandages." She dare not look at his face, she was afraid to, especially of all that happened in the last week.

They had gotten him back, they had freed him from Orichimaru's grip which had only occured during the climatic battle between Sasuke vs. Naruto and Sakura vs. Orichimaru. But that battle soon turned around into Naruto and Sasuke vs. Orichimaru as their beloved female teamate lay unconcious on the ground. There battle was diffecult but in the end the two boys were the victors.

Durning the 2 and half years Sasuke had changed drastically. His appearnce had changed alot. His hair was longer and he now had more of a masculine body and his face had changed into that of a grown up. His eyes were cold and solid as ice now. His faced dripped with hatered and malice, well it did when they first set eyes upon him after 2 and half years but now it seemed to have disappeared and you coudn't really tell what he was feeling at all as he layed there on hospital bed.

"I don't need it"

"Sasuke-kun please," She looked at him with pleading eyes " I need to take those bandages off you and replace it with new ones or your wounds will get inffected!"

"I said I don't need it!" he snapped , staring ahead.

This was getting annoying. Her face became serious and her irratated look was very noticable.

"Sasuke-kun!" she said with a stern voice.

"I don't have all day. I have other patients. After you I have to go change Naruto's bandages, so please co-operate, so I can do what I supposed to do and leave!"

This was akward.Very akward.

He looked at her narrowing his eyes in an I'm-very-annoyed-and-pissed-off look. Sakura stood there stiff, bracing herself for what was about to come.

Realizing she won't budge, he gave in. If there is anything he knew about her it was that she was very stubborn. And what was worse was that he gave into her stubborness. Funny how that worked since he was very stubborn as well...It seems when it came to her, he would let it all slide.

Sasuke pushed the blanket over and took off his shirt, revealing his somewhat bare chest due to bandages being wrapped around them. Sakura's body loosened and she inwardly sighed of relief because she knew she woudn't be able to keep up the tough-girl act infront him any longer. Funny how that worked since now she was never a pushover... It seems when it came to him, she would let it all slide.

She gently took off his bandages as chills ran down her spine whenever her skin came to any slightest contact with his cold body. After that akward moment they hadn't said a word to one another. It was so silent that every noise of every movement can be heard as she changed his bandages and rubbed medication onto his wounds, untill the defening silence was to much for her.

" Most of your and Naruto's wounds are from each other, rather from Orichimaru."

No reply.

Sakura sighed. She looked up at the window and saw team 8 chatting away animatedly, well kiba was anyways. Shino was just listening's to kiba's rant, while Hinata had a bouqet of flowers in her hands, also listening to kiba's rant, blushing.

'She must be coming to see Naruto' she smiled.

Smiling, she watched team 8 walk closer to the hospital untill they were completely out of sight. 'Team 7 used to be like that.' Her smile had been replaced by a frown during her thoughts. She looked down and realized that was she was done. She slowly started to pack everything and place them in one of the bags.

' We used to be like that. We'd always listen to Naruto ranting about various things, while Sasuke tried to ignore him as much as possible until he got truly annoyed and told him to shut up, while kakashi-sensei read his perverted book.' And her... she used to to either team up with Sasuke to shut Naruto up and beat him to a pulp or tried to find ways to have Sasuke acknowledge her, to love her.

How foolish.

But even though she knew it was foolish, she still continued doing it. She used to be like that though but now she has changed. all she wants now is for him to by her side, on team 7.

Flashback

The violent icey shilled wind rushed through casuing the fire to die down, as team 7 cuddled togeather to keep warm.

"ACHOO!"

"Ugh! You dobe!"

"NARUTO! Watch it! Your going to make Sasuke-kun sick!"

Naruto rounded on Kakashi.

"WHY ARE WE OUT IN THIS COLD WEATHER OLD MAN?"

WHACK

A bunmped formed on Naruto's head.

"Stop yelling Naruto!" Sakura yelled.

"Dobe"

"WHAT?"

"NARUTO STOP YELL-!"

"We're doing this to build up our stamina and be prepared for any harsh weathers during a mission" Kakashi said quickly, breaking off Sakura's sentence.

"AHAHA, off-course I knew that!" Naruto laughed and grinned.

'Yeah right...'

'Why did he ask then?'

"Hmph"

They all settled back to normal and everything was at peace, well except for their chattering teeths, until...

"ACHOO!"

"DOBE!"

"BAKA!"

Kakashi sighed.

End Flashback

She had finished packing. She inwardly laughed at the memory. How she missed it all. How she missed being part of team 7...

'Hmph...7'

"I always thought 7 was suppose to be a lucky number,... so why is it that our team was and still is cursed?" She asked out loud more to herself then anyone else.

This obviously didn't go unnoticed by the Uchiha survivour. Sasuke looked at her. He tried to get a glance of her eyes but apperently they were covered by her bubble gum hair.

"Why...why is it that our team is full of despair, pain and saddness?" Her voice had started to waver.

Sakura's burning cheeks had tears rolling down them now. 'Damnit! Not again!'

The medic-nin quickly turned around not wanting to show the Uchiha prodigy anymore weakness, and quicklyheaded towards the door.

"Maybe," his sudden voice was hoarse, "Maybe if we had been team 13 our luck would have been different, because it seems that its always the opposit for us...all of us are opposite from one another, that is why."

Sakura had stopped but she didn't turn around. There was long pause.

"Y-yes that's true but," she began " All of us have alot of similarities as well. All of us."

She laughed.

"Like you and Naruto are always determined, and stubborn. Me and Naruto are usually the loud ones, annoying ones." She laughed once again. "Kakashi-sensei and Naruto are both very loyal and well...pereverted " Her tears had all dried up." You, Sasuke-kun and Kakashi-sensei have a simlarity as well..you both are very powerful. Me and Kakashi-sensei are always their for you and Naruto." She paused. Sasuke was listening and awaited for her next words though not making it obvious.

She took a breath.

"You... and m-me-"

"There's nothing similar between you and me."

Sakura's whole body went stiff.

"I am nothing like you and you are nothing like me."

When did her tears had form she didn't know but she did know that they were now flowing down her cheeks.

"Y-yes, that might be b-but," she wipped her tears, "But even so, team 7 is still very much similar to one another, yet different at the same time, that's it balanced, even." she laughed.

"Maybe 7 isn't such a unlucky number for us after all. Maybe it's the '1' of ourselves that are cursed"

She finaly turned around. she looked at him and smiled that genuin smile that was reserved only for him and him alone.

"Besides, 13 isn't really my luckiest number"

She turned around and headed for the door, bag in hand, only to stop when she got there.

"Oh and Sasuke-kun, I brought you something. If you don't want it, it's okay, but please," She turned her head towards him one more time, "Don't throw it away like last time. I worked really hard to cut and peel them." And with those words she shut the door behind while Sasuke watched her.

Sakura walked down the hall with that genuin smile once again.

'Sasuke-kun... I wonder...'

Inside Sasuke ignored the bag with whatever that had a 'cut and peeled' thing in it for a long time, until his curiouslty took over and boredom tortured him. He reached for the items in the bag and took it out. As he brought his hand out of the bag he was presented with 2 things. The first thing was the picture of team 7, where he saw and remebered how he left it. It was a picture with him and Naruto standing, looking annoyed with Sakura in between them, shinning, and their sensei behind them looking a bit troubled. He gazed at the picture for God knows how long when finaly he snapped out of it and decided to put the picture away and look at the second item. He placed the picture on his bedside table, but this time it was standing up. He looked at the second item which was a small rectangular container.

He slowly opened the container only to find 13 neatly lined up apple pieces. 'That's what she meant'. He stretched his arm out to place the lid on the table but with he had no idea what direction his hand was heading for and accidently knocked the picture over causing it to fall. With amazing reflexes he quickly reached for the falling photo and succeeded on getting a hold of it but this effort caused an apple piece from the container to jump and fall to the ground. He placed the photo back to it's original spot and then looked at the container.

'...12 pieces...good enough'

"Doesn't she know that I hate sweet things. And she completely adores them... I was right...we're nothing alike."

'But then again 13 is my luckiest number either'

Besides, 13 isn't really my luckiest number

He smirked and took the 7th piece in the container and took a bite out of it only to find out that it was sour, not sweet.

I solute you if you understood that!

Byez!
