Chapter 49 – Sasuke's Chapter (Part 7)

I had walked out of the cafeteria for some fresh air when I saw Sakura on the ground and Naruto holding with a panicked look on his face. What had he done? I ran toward them. Was she alright?

"What happened?" I asked Naruto.

"She just fainted," Naruto informed me, "What do we do?"

"Take her to the nurse's office!" I scooped her off the ground. Naruto opened the doors for me as I carried her. I got her into the nurse's office.

"What happened?" She asked.

"She just fainted," Naruto said.

"What happened before that? Had she eaten? Is she anemic?" She began questioning.

"She's not anemic," I knew this.

"She had eaten," Naruto added.

"It's not hot enough for that. Did she receive some shocking news or something?" The nurse asked us. I looked to Naruto. He blushed and scratched his cheek like he always did when he was nervous. What had he said? Oh. No. He did not tell her that.

"I-uh-uh-" He pulled at his color and looked away from me suspiciously.

He did! I was going to kill him.

"I see," She sighed guessing that Naruto did, "She'll just need to sleep in here to till she wakes up."

We nodded and were allowed to leave. I was going to kill Naruto.

"Don't you think one of us should stay here with her?" Naruto quickly noticed I would kill him.

"Well, if one of you wants too," The nurse responded.

"I think you've got this one, Sasuke. Bye!" He darted out of the room. I was going to kill him.

"You can sit here," the nurse gave me a chair and placed it by the bed where Sakura was resting. The nurse left me a few minutes later for some unknown reason leaving Sakura and I alone. I was not staring at her. I was merely observing her. She barely stirred in her sleep unlike that time we slept together and she couldn't be still. I almost smothered to death but her chest. It wouldn't be a bad way to die…

I couldn't believe Naruto told her. I told him not to but he was such a dobe. Now she knew. What would she say? Obviously she was shocked since she fainted. I guess that means she liked me back. I mean she did say she wanted to see my…of course she didn't mean like what I thought she meant. But she still liked me, right?

But she had been with Shisui a lot. They just keep getting friendlier and friendlier. I probably should have made a move on her already. But what if she didn't like me back? Did I really want to be rejected by Sakura? The girl who basically followed me around like a dog since infancy? But Uchiha men are supposed to be upfront with their feelings when it comes to love.

Did I love Sakura? Did I really love her? I know I find her attractive and she was constantly on my mind. She made me feel…I don't know…myself but different. I liked being around her and I always got jealous when I saw her with other guys. I mean she said she was mine so she shouldn't be with other guys. I also liked to make her happy. Well…I never really did too good of a job but I still wanted to but I'd get so angry with her. Were these the feelings of love? Maybe…I think so. She's the only one I've ever wanted by my side. I do love her. I do. But how does one tell someone else that? I can't be like "Yo, I love you." I can't just not tell her. Or I could. I could avoid telling her but make a move instead. It would be obnoxious for me to say it to her right now. I'll just ask her out or something.

How would I ask her out? I had to be cool. Sasuke Uchiha was always cool. "Let's go out." Too bossy. "Would you like to go out on a date with me?" Not me. "Sakura, come away to the land of passion and romance!" Definitely not me. Where did that even come from?

I saw the sudden flash of a camera out of the corner of my eye. I turned and saw a girl with a camera. Was she the picture culprit of last year? She yelped and began to run away. I went after her. I easily caught her by the collar.

"Who are you? Why are taking pictures of me?" I asked. I hoped she wasn't another fangirl. She blushed.

"You don't know who I am?"

"No."

"I'm Moegi, a sophomore here. We've been neighbors for the past six years."

I really did not notice ever.

"Why were you taking pictures of me?" I asked again. Her blush got deeper.

"It's for evidence," She looked away from me.

"Evidence? Evidence for what?"

"Evidence that you like Sakura! I have the most camera evidence," Smiled proudly.

"Why?"

"Because you're my ship."

"Ship?"

"My ship. I want you and Sakura to be together. Some of the other girls want you with Karin-bleh. Some used to picture you with Ino or Hinata but they got boyfriends. I've always supported the SasuSaku group. And last year when you kissed Sakura and I got the picture I had to show everyone! I always knew you two were meant for each other."

I was very confused by all this ship business and the girls picking out who I was to be with. It was all so weird.

"You took the picture last year?"

"Yep. But please don't turn me in. My parents will kill me," She pleaded. I was tempted to let her get what she deserved but I let her go instead.

"I won't but you have to stop taking pictures of us," I told her. She frowned.

"Okay…but you do like her don't you?" She wiggled her eyebrows. I rolled my eyes and walked away. I heard her squealing behind me. Fangirls.

I got back in the nurse's office and sat beside Sakura. She was still out. How long was she going to be out? I just sat and watched her. Then she began to moan and opened her eyes.

"Where am I?" I heard her ask.

"The nurse's office. You fainted so Naruto and I brought you here," I answered her question. I saw her blush as she looked at me.

"Sasuke-kun," She whispered my name. I could ask her out since she was awake.

"I'll get the nurse," I stood up. I lost my nerve.

"Wait!"

I stopped.

"Hn?"

"Sasuke-kun…um…I know I said I'd give up on you last year, but…um…I…didn't. Would you like to…go out with me sometime?" She was so nervous.

"Don't ask."

"Oh, sorry," I saw her face fall.

"I'm the man. I'm supposed to ask you," I responded. Her green eyes shot up and she beamed at me. She was so excited.

"Are you asking me out?" She eeped.

"Yeah," I nodded.

"Yes! Yes! I'll go out with you!" She was not cool. I liked that.

"Cool. I'll get the nurse," I walked out. I couldn't help smirking. I asked Sakura out and didn't look uncool at all.
