Chapter 18 – Sasuke's Chapter (Part 2)

I was glad Sakura was my partner for the frog dissection. She actually knew what she was doing unlike Karin who contributed very little in our other projects. All she did was try to cut of my circulation with her breasts and damaged my eardrums with her voice. Sakura was a far better partner. She actually wanted to dissect the thing and focus on it. With Sakura I would definitely get an 'A' which would save me from another lecture on how amazing Itachi was being able to practically skip high school due to his genius. It really sucked to be the younger brother of a genius. My father always compared to him.

"Keep up the good grades and you'll end up like Itachi."

"Itachi did excellent in science.

"Do you want to study medicine like Itachi?"

"You are going to get a practical job like Itachi, right?"

Sometimes I wanted to rebel against my family. I wanted to just fail out of school, move out and live on my own doing whatever pleased me. But I was not a rebel. I needed to finish school and maybe go to college so I could be seen by a baseball scout and hopefully make a living as a baseball player. I loved baseball and I that was a strong word for me. When I couldn't play baseball in middle school after punching that asshole Idate, I was miserable.

"Sasuke-kun, want to walk home together?" Sakura asked when our last class of the day ended. I didn't have practice because it was getting way too cold to play making me able to go home earlier.

"Hn," I shrugged in agreement.

"Great!" She smiled like she always does around me. We started out of the school and towards my house.l Sakura's parents were gone as usual but mine were also away to celebrate their wedding anniversary. Itachi was to work late so it would just be Sakura and me in the house that night. I knew Sakura was excited. I didn't care.

"Since it's just us tonight, I think I'll cook dinner for us. If that's okay with you, Sasuke-kun," She looked at me for approval as we walked.

"Hn," I shrugged in acceptance of this idea.

"Really? Ok! What should we have?" She was talking to herself and began listing foods she could make. I didn't really care what she made as long as it was edible, not sweet and not natto. I hated natto.

"I won't fix natto since you hate that and it can't be anything too sweet," She talked on relieving me of my fears.

"I know what we'll have! We need to go to the grocery store first though."

I didn't really want to go to the grocery store.

"We have to get tomatoes," She said the magic word. Ah…tomatoes...

We spent about fifteen minutes in the grocery store even though it felt longer but we got everything she needed to make our dinner and we got my tomatoes. As we walked I noticed the sky was getting darker with rain clouds. A storm was coming. Rain started falling just as we got into my house.

"I'll start cooking," She took the groceries away from me. I went to the living room to try and do homework. I heard Sakura. How…annoying…

"Sakura sakura

I don't know what happened but I fell asleep. I woke up when Sakura softly calling my name. I opened my eyes and her face was very close to mine. Her eyes were exceptionally green.

"Dinner is ready, Sasuke-kun," She smiled. I nodded and got up. I sat at my usual spot at the dining room table and saw that all the food had been set up. Before me was hamburger streak with shredded lettuce and cut tomatoes on the side, brown rice, hijiki no nimono, onion salad, and miso soup. I could see that she tried really hard with the meal and I hoped it tasted good.

"Go ahead and eat up, Sasuke-kun," She encouraged me. I took a bite. It was very good.

"Is it good?" She asked me. I nodded which made her smile grow even wider. She started eating and talking about school. I offered a few 'hn' and 'Aa' so she knew I was listening. We finished about the same time and she started gathering my plates and bowls along with her own. Her stack did not look the sturdiest but I let her go. I had just got back into the living room when – Crash!

"Sakura?" I ran into the kitchen. Sakura was on the floor picking up the broken bowls and plates. I bent down to help her.

"I got it, Sasuke-kun," She tried to get me to stop but I ignored her. I easily gathered most of the broken pieces and disposed of them.

"Ah!" Sakura cut her finger.

"Let me see your finger," I took the bloody thing, "It's not deep."

"Ow."

I washed the finger but it kept bleeding.

"Where are the Band-Aids?" I asked her.

"In the bathroom," She replied. I took her towards the bathroom but she kept bleeding. It was making a mess. How did Mom always stop the bleeding when I cut my finger as a kid?

"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura squeaked as I put her finger in my mouth. She tasted like iron but I also tomatoes and hamburger. I kept her finger in my mouth till we reached the bathroom and I found the Band-Aids. I wrapped her finger up.

"Thank you, Sasuke-kun," She was blushing like she always did when I touched her.

I left her and finished cleaning up the broken stuff in the kitchen. I went back to the living room to finish my homework. Sakura joined me. By the time I finished, it had begun thundering outside. Sakura jumped slightly every time there was thunder.

"Excuse me," She left me and went upstairs only to return moments later. She looked far more comfortable as she sat beside me.

"Can you had me my book?" I asked her as I was finishing packing up my stuff. She didn't respond as if she didn't hear me.

"Sakura?" I called her name again. Nothing.

"Sakura," I finally grabbed her arm and shook her. She looked at me very surprised.

"What did you say, Sasuke-kun?" She revealed she was wearing the ear plugs I got her for your birthday.

"Can you hand me my book?" I repeated. She happily obliged. I left her and went to my room to read.

"Sasuke-kun," She knocked on my door. I got up and went to the door.

"Would you like to watch a movie with me?"

"What movie?"

"Anything is fine with me."

"Fine," I went downstairs and picked out The Shining. I did enjoy Stephen King movies. I popped in the movie and sat on the couch. Sakura sat next to me and held her ear plugs in her hand. Between the killings and nudity that I had forgotten, Sakura's hands were constantly flying to cover her eyes.

"Well… that was interesting," I knew she had not enjoyed the movie. I took the movie out and back into its box.

"I think I'll go to bed now," She said, put in her ear plugs and went upstairs. I went to my room. I got in bed and waited for sleep to come.

"Sasuke-kun," Sakura was at my door again. I sighed and came to the door.

"What, Sakura?"

"Umm…nevermind," She started to walk away. I got back into bed.

"Sasuke-kun," She knocked again.

"Yes?" I got out of bed again.

"Sorry…nevermind…." She went away again. Back to bed. I heard her footsteps coming back here. I got to the door before she could knock.

"Sakura," I opened it and she standing there with hand raised to knock.

"Sasuke-kun," She was blushing again.

"Tell me what you want or don't come back to my room."

"Um…well…I…that movie…"

"Scared you?"

"Yes…and the thunder…"

"Thunder? You have ear plugs for that," I reminded her.

"Yes, and they've helped me a lot during thunderstorms but… the movie…really…could I sleep with you tonight?"

How bold!

"No!" I shut the door on her.

"Sasuke-kun, please, I'm really scared and Itachi-nii-san isn't here or I'd ask him. I promise I'll sleep far from you."

"No. Go tough it out in your room," I told her.

"Please, Sasuke-kun!" She begged.

"No."

She kept begging and begging. She was relentless.

"Fine," I swung open the door, "But if you even dare touch me during the night I'll kick you out!"

"Thank you, Sasuke-kun!" She was too excited. I got in on the right side of the bed as she got on the left side. She put her ear plugs in and wished me "sweet dreams". She fell asleep easily while I just laid there for hours trying to do the same. Something about having Sakura next to me really disturbed me. How annoying.

"Sasuke-kun," I heard her mutter my name as her body moved. Before I could move I was taken captive by her arms and legs. I tried to roll out but her grip was too tight. I tried waking her up by saying her name but those damn ear plugs worked too well. I tried to shake her but it was useless. How could Itachi sleep with her like this? I gave up and just let her constrict my body till finally I passed out.

I woke when I felt my nose being crushed. My face was being crushed into Sakura's chest. I managed to pull my head back some but I was still facing her breasts and she was still asleep. I tired pulling away but again she was just too strong. I could only stare at her breasts…annoying.

"Sasuke-kun," She moaned my name again in her sleep and pulled my head close to her chest again. I turned my face in time so my nose wouldn't be crushed. My heart rested against her rather soft but small bumps. I could hear her heartbeat clearly. Thump. Thump. Thump. She smelt good too.

"Sasuke-kun." Why did she moaning my name in her sleep? She did tightened her legs around my waist. She wiggled and squirmed then I felt it. Damn puberty.

I couldn't wake her up with that around. I had to escape her. I had to get away before it got worse. I tried pushing again and wiggling and turning but it had the opposite effect. She had not been as clingy when she snuck into the bed in mountains. She was so annoying. Why did she had to cling so much and so tightly?

"Sasuke-kun." Why did she keep moaning my name? That only madeit worse.

Striking out. Getting kicked off the baseball team. Failing school. Living on the streets. No matter what negative thoughts I tried to think of did not help my problem. Damn.

"Don't leave….don't leave, Sasuke-kun," I heard Sakura crying. Her face was buried into my hair so her tears wetted my scalp. I had to guess that was why she kept saying my name and holding me close. She was letting her dreams get the best of her. Annoying…

"Dammit, Sakura," I couldn't help groaning as she wriggled more against me. I tried one last time to push her off.

"Finally," I pushed her off of me and towards the other side. I was gone from her arms butit was not gone from me. Dammit. I had to get rid ofit before she woke. I took a shower and left Sakura to finish sleeping on the couch.

Author's Note: The Sakura song is actually a Japanese folks song. Just for anyone who wanted to know.
