CHAPTER 12
His Weakness and Her Care
DAY 3
1 22 PM
( she sits behind sasuke's sleeping form and reads a book of poems and quotes )
.. Love is about making sacrifices. Even if we get hurt every time we try, we know it's just a challenge so we'll grow stronger. For the one you love the most, you'll do everything. Some even say love is stupid.. and yet somehow they feel it. Some say love is ironic, you hate the person so much that you love him. I say love is MAGIC. you feel different things and be in different spells. but even if you get thorned up in this magical journey.. just thinking of him, you know that.. It was worth it..
Sakura : you're worth it... suke... ( she nears his face..closer and closer... )
Sakura : i love you..
( she didn't know that sasuke wasn't asleep as she thought he was ) ( a/n : wahahaha! :) )
( sasuke faces her with eyes still close and still pretending to be asleep )
Sasuke : ( makes a sound that looked like he was having a bad dream )
Sakura : suke..? are you having a bad dream?.. ( she entertwines her fingers with his ).. don't worry.. I'm here..
Sasuke : i can't believe she fell for it so easily... ( he thought )
Sakura : i hope you get well soon suke.. a week is about to past you know so i only got 2 weeks left here. you know what my mom told me i could go study here in the US. she said that it's a good opportunity but i thought about it these past few days and i figured that it i would have a hard time studying here if you won't talk to me. But of course it was my fault that you're not talking to me so maybe i could still consider it. wait a second what am i talking about? you can't even hear me. ( giggles ) I'm so silly. but you know when you left, i talked to myself a lot of times too. weird right? uhh. I'm doing it again!
Sasuke : what?! she could study here?! she really still hasn't change. she still talkative as ever. oh man.. I'm starting to feel my fever... ( he thought and opened his eyes )
Sakura : sasuke! you're finally awake! ( she placed her hand in sasuke's forehead ) what?! you became hotter suke!! don't stand okay? I'll get you your food. ( she let go of his hand and went down the kitchen )
Mikoto : how's sasuke sakura?
Sakura : his fever got higher. I'm worried.
Mikoto : don't be dear. I'm sure he will feel better soon. Please take good care for him.
Sakura : yes. I will. ( she got a tray and placed the bowl of soup, vegetables, fruits and a glass of juice in it )
Mikoto : careful with those dear, you might fall from the stairs.. ( she cautioned )
Sakura : yup. ( she struggled )
Itachi : hey. let me help you with that.. ( he took the tray in her hands )
Sakura : thanks Itachi.
Itachi : sure. so how's sasuke doing?
Sakura : his fever got higher so I have to take extra good care of him.
Itachi : that means... he talked to you already right?
Sakura : well...
Itachi : well...?
Sakura : no.
Itachi : ( disappointed ) you made me excited then you say no all of a sudden.
Sakura : yup. it's okay. I can still take it.
Itachi : are you sure?
Sakura : yeah.. I'm sure.
Itachi : alright then. ( he hands her the tray and opens the door to sasuke's room )
Itachi : hey bro. get well soon. ( door closes )
Sakura : here you go sasuke. I brought you your food. I cooked this while you were asleep awhile ago. It's your favorite soup! and I also made salad for you even though you hate it. But it's for your fast recovery, and don't worry, I put a lot of tomatoes in there. I also have some fruits here. I picked mangoes because it rhymes with tomatoes so I thought you might like it. But in case you don't I also brought you strawberries. And last but not the least some refreshing orange juice. YEHEY! ( it was lunch in bed for sasuke so she placed that wooden thingy where she can put the food...eh.. you know what I mean right? ) eat up suke. I want you to feel better today.
Sasuke : ... wow.. she put a lot of effort in these meals.. ( he thought and started eating )
Sakura : I'll prepare your bath for you while your eating. ( she stood up...and just when she was about to walk.. he grabbed her hand )
Sakura : hmm? did you want me to stay by your side?
Sasuke : ... ( he didn't say a word but he pleadingly looked at her )
Sakura : it's ok if you want don't want to talk. please keep eating. ( she cupped on of his cheeks ) i don't want you to get sick again..
( he obliged and went back to his meal while she accompanies him )
Sakura : ( sigh ) you are just to hard to resist.
( riiiiing riiiiiing riiiiiiiiing ) ( sakura's PINK cell phone rings )
Sakura : it's my mom. hold on okay?... hello? ( she answers )
Her mom : sakura! how's my daughter? ( a/n : they haven't introduced sakura's mom in the series and manga right? so let's leave it there )
Sakura : hi mom. I'm ok. how about you? How are you doing there?
Her mom : I'm fine dear! how's sasuke there? Is he alright?
Sakura : sasuke is sick today mom. I'm taking care of him.
Her mom : WHAT?! HOW COULD YOU HE GET SICK WITH THE HARUNO CARE?!
( sasuke hears the voice of her mother )
Sakura : mom... not too loud, he could hear you...
Her mom : good!! WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING YOUNG LADY?! HOW CAN YOU PLEASE YOUR FUTURE HUSBAND IF YOU CAN"T TAKE CARE OF HIM THE RIGHT WAY?!
Sakura : take it easy mom.!
Her mom : i want to speak to him dear. ( she calmed down )
Sakura : mom! he is sick!
Her mom : it's just for a quick while.
Sakura : ugh... FINE! suke she wants to speak to you.. ( she neared the phone to him ) but I totally understand if you don't wa- ( he grabs the phone )
Sasuke : hello?
Her mom : SASUKE!! how's my son?!
Sasuke : I'm not really feeling that well.
Sakura : WHAT?! He really talks with everybody else but ME?! HE EVEN TALKS TO MY OWN MOM!! BUT NOT ME!! ( she thought furiously )
( vain popped and she was VERY VERY annoyed )
( door slams )
Her mom : was that sakura slamming the door dear?!
Sasuke : yes it was. I think she's mad by the sound of that slam.
Her mom : don't mind her sasuke! you get well soon okay?
Sasuke : i will.
Her mom : alright. goodbye.
Sasuke : ok. thanks for the concern. goodbye.
( hangs up the phone )
Sasuke : she's probably mad at me for not talking to her. AND JUST HER. And I was about to trick her in feeding me too. ( he pouts and looks at her cell phone )
Sasuke : i have her cell phone... Should I look inside... ( he thought )
Sasuke : a peek won't hurt right?
( he went to her cell phone's menu and opened her inbox ) ( a/n : tsk. BAD SASUKE! :D )
Sasuke : hey. her inbox are full of my past messages. and my name in her phone is... my sweet suke...

Sasuke : these are a lot of pictures... girls are SOOO VAIN.
( he looks at a picture of her in a kimono )
Sasuke : ...whoa... i got to get a copy of this...

Sasuke : hmmmm... what else...?
( he saw a picture of sakura in her school uniform making a peace sign )
Sasuke : why do girls make silly poses like these? hmmm.. she's cute though..
( he saw a picture of sakura and naruto together, naruto sticked out his tongue while sakura puts on a cute smile )

( then he saw a picture of sakura in her prom dress and FROZE )
( sasuke was speechless and his eyes were glued to the picture )
Sasuke : i... WOW... GOD why did I leave?... i wonder who she danced with...
( he hears footsteps nearing his room )
Sasuke : oh no she's here! ( he quickly threw her phone in the other side of the bed and went inside the bathroom )
( door opens )
Sakura : suke? hmmmm. he's not here. maybe he went to the bathroom.. ( she sees her phone in his bed and held it )
Sakura : finally they finished talking.. ( she noticed something ) hey... wait a second.. why is my bluetooth on?.. ( she wondered ) hmmmm... oh well...
( she knocks in the bathroom )
Sakura : sasuke.. don't stay in the bathroom for a long time! your cold might get worst.. I'll be back, I'll just put the food out okay?
( he heard her LOUD LOUD voice and he bathed )
( she went downstairs while carrying the tray that was much much lighter than before )
