I know it's short, but as i'm gonna be away for 3 weeks i'll update this somehow short chapter for my dear readers.

please review and tell me what you think!!

3 weeks had passed, everything was pretty much the same, until this morning that is…

Sasuke got out of bed and took a quick shower, he then dressed some black jeans, a black shirt and a jean jacket matching the jeans.

But today, he was feeling… weird. His stomach was aching, so was his head. He was pretty sure his body temperature was higher than usual and he knew for a fact that the day was sunny, but he was kinda cold.

Chapter 7 – Diziness, Scolding and Relief

He walked to the kindergarten like for the past 3 weeks and when he got there Sakura and Sai were already there. He found it pleasant to be inside, it was warm. He sat on his usual corner, where he would 'play' with Saya. Sakura reluctantly walked to him.

"Are you ok?? You look really pale Sasuke." He stared at her.

"Where's the –kun??" his inner self whined.

"I'm fine." He replied coldly. She frowned.

"Sorry for caring Ice Cube-san." She replied bitterly and turned away. "Geez, now I understand why Naruto calls you Teme." She muttered.

The day went by quickly, Sasuke sat on his corner waiting for all the kids to go home, Sakura and Sai were chatting near the door.

Sasuke leaned back to the wall closing his eyes, his head seemed to be ready to blow and his stomach was the same, he wished he was in his bed, sleeping under the warm covers, his head resting on the soft pillow, his stomach pleased after eating a steaming bowl of miso ramen… he opened his eyes and shook his head lightly, he was thinking like a gaki. He looked at the door and everything seemed to be blurry, he blinked a few times.

He noticed the last kid was leaving.

"You can go now Sasuke." He heard Sakura say, he could see her next to the door looking at him, but her voice seemed so far away.

He got up and steadied himself.

"See, I told you'd get sick." "I'm not in the mood to argue with you so go away." His inner shrugged and disappeared in a pouf of pink smoke. "And could you stop using pink smoke??" his request was ignored.

He took a few steps and everything went dizzy.

"Sasuke?? Are you ok??" was the last thing he heard, and the last thing he saw was Sakura walking to him, Sai behind her, after that, everything went black.

"Sasuke?? Are you ok??" Sakura asked in concern, he was unusually pale. She saw him take another step and then his body gave in. she rushed to him and prevented him from hitting the floor.

"Help me out." Sai came and put one of Sasuke's arms over his shoulder so he could carry him more easily.

"What is it with him??" Sai muttered as he and Sakura walked carrying Sasuke to his house.

After they got out of the kindergarten, the ANBU watching Sasuke went to report what he saw.

Sai and Sakura entered Sasuke's house, Sai took him to his room and Sakura went to explore the house. The house was clean, but the kitchen was empty, no food what so ever. She frowned deeply. Her frown deepened when she saw his back yard.

"Guess I'll have to scold him for not taking proper care of himself." She muttered and opened the doors of the living room, she stared in nausea at the view of the living room, dried blood from many years ago, white designs of corpses in the floor, dust all over. The room was a mess and exactly like after the massacre, Sai stood behind her shocked self.

"This is…" she trailed off and closed the doors, the view made her want to throw up.

"Go heal him, he has a high fever." Sai said quietly, his intention being making her focus on something else, she nodded.

"Do me a favor, go buy some groceries to fill his kitchen." Sai nodded and left to do as she asked.

Sakura walked up the stairs and entered Sasuke's room, it was simple and clean. He was lying on the bed, his breathing uneven. She walked closer to him and sat on the bed.

She put a hand on his forehead and another over his chest, cool chakra began to room around his whole body to see what was wrong, she frowned.

"No wonder, he hasn't been eating proteins and many other important things to the well being of his body." She muttered disapprovingly.

"What are you doing??" she looked at his face and glared at him.

"Isn't it obvious?? I'm healing you." She stated. "And you should eat properly, you're sick for not eating properly." She scolded making him remember of his mother. She turned back to what she was doing, muttering some things once in a while.

"Sai went to buy stuff to fill your kitchen, so you better start eating properly after you're completely healed." He was about to retort when he saw her glare at him saying 'and-that's-what-you-re-gonna-do-and-that's-final' without words.

He sighed and stayed silent, the dizziness coming back. And so he passed out again.

Sasuke woke up to the smell of food. He got up to find the dizziness gone. He walked out of his room following the smell and got to the kitchen to see Sakura cooking, Sai helping her.

"Can you pass me the soy sauce please??"

"Sure." Sai replied and gave her what she was asking.

"Thank you Sai-kun."

"Hn." He took a seat on the counter next to her. She frowned at his actions.

"Sai." She warned, he rolled his eyes.

"Fine." He muttered and got off the counter, now just leaning his back in it looking at her.

"You should add some of this, it'll had to the flavour." Sai said handing her something.

"Hmmmm…." She paused looking from what she was doing to what Sai gave her. "I guess." She put some and put the rest down.

Sasuke watched as the 2 of them cooked, he leaned against the door frame to keep himself from falling.

"There, now we wait for the water to boil and it's done ne??" she asked Sai.

"Yeah, you're getting better Saku-chan." She grinned.

"Why are you still here?" they turned to the door to see Sasuke staring at them. Sakura frowned, Sai stared blankly.

"You should be in bed right now." Sakura scolded.

"I'm fine."

"No, you're not." Sakura stated leaving no room for an argument. "Now, if you're not getting back to bed, sit down." She ordered. He kept in place.

"You should do as she says." Sai commented, Sasuke raised a brow.

"And why's that??"

"First of all she's a medic, second she's got temper issues." Sai said shrugged. "Believe me, I've been there." He said talking about Sasuke's situation. Sasuke sat down and Sakura seemed pleased. She turned to the boiling water and turned the stove off.

"Pass me a bowl will you." She asked, Sai turned to the cupboard and took a bowl out, handing it to her.

She poured the soup in the bowl and put it in front of Sasuke with the proper covers.

"What is it?" he asked bluntly.

"Pork ramen." She stated and put her hands in her hips. "Now eat." She ordered. And so he did, he didn't feel like retaliating anyway. As he ate he watched as Sakura took cleaning things out of the bottom cabinet.

"What are you gonna do Ugly??" Sai asked as she shoved a bucket full of cloths and some cleaning liquids in his hands.

"We are going to clean the living room." She grabbed some things as well and started to walk out of the kitchen. "Now c'mon, you said you had something to show me later, so if you want that later to be sooner you're gonna help me." Sai rolled his eyes.

"Did you know you're a major pain in the ass??" he muttered.

"Shut up." She muttered back, Sai sighed but joined her nonetheless.

Sasuke finished eating a couple of minutes later, he had to admit, it was a good meal.

He got up feeling better and walked to the living room, the doors were open, and what he saw made him relieved, sad and a bit amused.

Sai was cleaning the walls and Sakura was cleaning the floor.

"Saks, pass the spray." Sakura took a spray and threw it at Sai, who caught it expertly.

"Damn, this is almost worse then when you make me clean your house." His answer was a spray can in his head.

"Shut up and work." Sakura muttered while working on the blood and drawings of Sasuke's parents on the floor.

"It must be really heartbreaking to have to live while looking at this everyday." Sakura whispered.

"You'd know ne?" Sai said quietly, almost in a whisper, Sakura's movements on the floor became slightly slower.

"…yeah…" she answered after a bit.

"What does he means??" she turned to the door.

"Betsuni." she assured and resumed her work. "You should go and rest." She said and put more cleaning product in the floor.

"Aa." She glanced at him over her shoulder and saw Sasuke walking upstairs to his room.

"I should know ne?" she whispered.

"I'm done." Sai said after a while.

"Almost done." She said and put some more spray in a really dirty blood mark, it just wouldn't come out

"There, I'm done." She said gathering everything and walking to the kitchen. They put everything in place and cleaned the kitchen.

"I'll be right back, I'll just make sure he's better." Sai nodded and waited for her at the front door.

Sakura walked to Sasuke's room and opened the door soundlessly. He was sleeping on his bed, his hair seemed a bit damp.

"Must have taken a shower." She whispered and as she was next to the bed she made her chakra check his body again, he was better, if he kept eating properly he would be fine. Once finished with her check up she just looked at him for a while. He seemed peaceful, for once. She smiled lightly and kissed his forehead.

"Oyasumi!" she whispered.

"…okaa-chan…" he whispered and shifted positions, now being on his stomach while hugging a pillow. She giggled silently and got out leaving a small note next to his PDA.

The next day

Sasuke woke up from the buzzing of his alarm clock, which was his PDA. He sat on his bed and turned it off. He noticed a note next to where his PDA was, he took and allowed a smile to appear on his face.

"Sasu-chan, eat properly and don't overdo yourself.

Sakura."

He walked to his closet and got dressed. He then proceeded to the bathroom and brushed his teeth and straightened his messy hair.

He walked downstairs and ate a proper breakfast, before he left the house, he walked to the living room, to see everything clean, the walls were white and clean, the floor was shinning, and the living room smelt good.

It was like breathing fresh air after being imprisoned for a long time.

"Thank you." He whispered before leaving for his day duties.

Somehow, it was like he was allowed to have a little bit of peace.

Hope you enjoyed, even though it's short, i'd write more but it's already 30 past midnight and i have to get up really early tomorrow.
