Chapter 34 – Pakkun's Chapter (Part 3)

I was not sure if I liked this Sasuke. He comfortable to sleep on, he walked us, he was good and scratching us but he was a liar. I knew he was. Dogs always know who liars are and Sasuke was one. He didn't lie to Kakashi a lot but he lied a lot to Sakura. When we would go on our evening walks he would lie to her. He didn't lie all the time but he lied sometimes.

"I'm so glad March is finally here. Spring will be here soon," Sakura was smiling.

"Hn."

"Since it is March, what do you want to do for our birthday, Sasuke-kun?" She asked.

"We should have separate birthdays this year," He said. I could sense Sakura's sadness.

"Oh, right…you don't want to see your family."

"Right," He was lying.

"We could still celebrate together. If you want to," She offered.

"I don't want to." Lie.

"Oh, okay…"

They walked in silence.

"Do you still want a present? I can come over and-"

"No," He cut her off with another lie.

Silence again.

"If you change your mind, let me know," She kept up a smile. They were quiet as we turned around to head back home. Sakura looked up at the starry sky. Then Sakura began humming. It then turned into light and low singing.

"Sora wo miagereba

Hoshitachi ga hora matataiteru

Kono hoshi no hitotachi mitai ni

Samazama na hikari wo hanatte

Sono naka de boku mo

Hitoki wa kagayaite itain da

Me wo tojite kokoro ni chikau

Nagareboshi ni yume wo takushite"

"You're so annoying," Sasuke grumbled. Sakura stopped in her place but he kept walking. I wanted to bite him. I went for it.

"Pakkun!" Sakura screeched as I latched on to his leg.

"What the-" He tried to shake me off. The other dogs began barking in the frenzy.

"Pakkun, release!" Sakura commanded and I did. She picked me up and scolded me for my actions.

"Are you okay, Sasuke-kun," She went to pay him attention. He pushed her away and hobbled off with the others. My group and Sakura followed. Once back in the apartment. Sasuke sat on the couch and check the wound I gave him. I was very proud.

"What happened?"Kakash asked.

"Pakkun, randomly bit Sasuke-kun!" Sakura told on me. Kakashi gave me a bad look making me sad.

"Are you okay, Sasuke-kun?" Sakura went to him again.

"I'm fine," He huffed out his lie.

"You're bleeding! Kakashi-sensei, get a first aid kit!"

Kakashi disappeared then reappeared with a box. Sakura began to clean his wound and tend to it.

"It's not deep so you don't need stitches or anything," She mentioned while treating Sasuke. I didn't bite him that hard. He sucked in sharply as she applied something to him.

"Sorry," She apologized.

"I'm fine." Lie.

She wrapped up his leg and patted his thigh when she finished.

"Where did you learn all that, Sakura?" Kakashi asked.

"I took a first aid class and read a lot about it after I started martial arts in middle school. Itachi also showed me some stuff," She answered.

"Maybe you should look into going into the medical field," Kakashi suggested.

"Maybe," She shrugged. She then turned her attention back to Sasuke and treated him as if he were dying. He kept telling her to leace him alone but I could detect deception, Kakashi pulled me away and punished me for biting before I could see Sakura leave. But I was happy with myself.
