Okay well by now if you people knew where I lived I'd have been beaten, tossed, walloped , thrown, threatened, bribed (of which I wouldn't mind), or gagged and tied till I get the ideas and produce a new chapter.
WELL THANK GOD YOU CHITS DON'T KNOW WHERE I AM, HAHAHAHAHAHA.
Kidding. For those who have waited for centuries and beyond, here is your update--I'll try to start writing again after exams.
Chapter 5 Sick Days
Hyuuga Neji scowled at the bathroom door as the sound of running water continued. It was bad enough she hadn't made him some breakfast, but now WHAT was she doing? Washing her hair a dozen times? Women!
Closing his eyes and trying to keep his calm manner he silently noted that making the "wrist link" waterproof had been a good idea. He distracted his thoughts with the logical plans their group had put together. Of course, learning the NEW student's home adress hadn't been hard; what with just Sasuke's flirty smirk and the office woman would have given them Sakura's KEY if she could. No one could resist them and they were used to it.
The water was still running!
Neji's relaxed exterior broke to a twitch and his hand locked around the door knob with lightning speed.
"Woman, if you don't stop prolonging this-!"
He turned the knob to test it, expecting to find it locked...it wasn't.
His face twisting into thought he suddenly realized and open the door comforted by the continued sound of running water coming from the sink. The curtains drawn from the window was his first clue, the second a long tree branch stepping to the side-sturdy enough to climb up and down. He wondered how she'd managed it down in a skirt for a second then recognized a piece of the childish pajamas missing. He scoffed, the lightest upward curl of his lip...she was sneaky.
--
Sakura stretched out her arms tiredly, jade eyes fresh with the long 30 day contacts adjusting to the sun. A big smile was on her face, happy she'd escaped one pain in the ass and the others didn't seem to be about anywhere. Yep, life was good and she even had time to kill before she went to her first block. Now, she just had to get rid of these damn pants. Usually, she wouldn't have dared such a fashion no-no, but like SHE was going to scale down a tree and flash the neighborhood! She'd rolled up the legs, lucky at her size and weight the light blue pants were fashioned into shorts, right mid-thigh-very reliable when in a skirt. If only she could wear them more often...not these, but some kind of shorts-they were comfy.
Glancing to a bunch of students chattering she headed toward the locker room.
There should be ONE locker left open and if she never saw these pants again she'd probably die happy.
"Now that I think about it, I missed two classes because of those guys."
"You were sick."
Sakura LEAPED out of her skin at a familiar voice jade eyes wide as she greeted--Tenten.
She'd never been so relieved...! Oh, but wait, sick?
"N-Nani?"
She suddenly felt a little of her shyness returning, even though she was really happy. Tenten might be mad about her missing lunch the other day, not like she could even begin to explain!
"Neji-san told our gym class that you were sick, odd that he'd do something so sweet. Feeling better?"
"A-Ah, sorry yeah I'm fine."
Sakura forced a smile back, face a little pink, but really getting darker out of un-denied fury.
Nice my ass!
She sneered inwardly, a picture of all the guys being molested and scratched by their fan girls till they cried appearing in her head.
WOAH!
'Where did that come from?'
'Me of course, Shannaro! Ha! Wouldn't it be great to see that Itachi-san cry? Sure he looks hot but we kicked his ass! I bet he's just a--"
"Sakura-chan, are you alright?"
The pink haired girl had placed her hand on her head as the voice rambled on; kame hearing voices meant you were insane right? That couldn't be good...
"Mm."
"Sakura?"
"Huh? Oh!"
Sakura flushed, embarrassed not about to even start with the voice that seemed to talk to her recently. Her friend would look at her like she needed 'help'.
"I'm fine...I was actually thinking if I could change. If there was a spare locker?"
Tenten gave the new student a curious look before noticing the pants and not helping a tease as she wrapped an arm around her shoulder.
"You don't have to change, the baby blue brings out the color in your green eyes. Is that a paw print?"
Sakura irked and felt her face get hotter, shaking her head a little.
"N-no, um well better change! See you in English!"
She raced off, the word 'paw print' repeating in her head to no end. W-well, it wasn't like she'd be keeping them on. Nearly stumbling up the stars she felt a light tug at the back of her shirt and turned to give an apologetic look to Tenten- she couldn't take anymore teasing jabs harmless as they were.
"Tenten, I'll change! I'll change just don't--"
She met cold onyx eyes; not the warm cocoa one's she'd expected.
"H-hi Sasuke?"
"Hn."
He didn't give an ounce of emotion, just staring at her with his fingers just barely gripping the back of his shirt. She swallowed, trying to put on a smile-couldn't he just leave her be?
"Did...you want something?"
"Hn."
Again, with the same tone. She bit her lip and slowly looked at his face, wincing where there was a slight bruise.
He must be pissed.
"T-then can you let...go?"
"No."
Damn it these one word answers were pissing her off! She frowned and with more courage, or SOME courage; lifted her hand to peel his fingers off.
"Then, go to class or something."
She grumbled, by now irritated and as she tried to move his hand the grip had only tightened. She hadn't even noticed him smirking at her.
"You're late."
She irked eyes wide and suddenly began to pull, frantically glancing around.
"Late! I couldn't possibly be late. If I am let go!"
He let go to grab her by the shoulder gripping tightly as he hissed in her ear.
"Don't tell ME what to do slave."
She bit her lip trying to keep her bravado and ignore the hot angry breath on her ear. He was hurting her shoulder...she twitched getting angry and flushed all at the same time-this jerk really thought he owned her!
"Bastard I'm not yours. ANY of yours and I'll-mph!"
His other hand was on her mouth, still frowning at her-what an annoying girl, and just his luck she was also an idiot.
"Did you forget what we have, slave? How we can show, that picture to the entire school within the blink of an eye, or even the whole town."
He trailed off watching as she realized and her expression dropped into a submissive state. Good, she was a little smart, even if she'd done the stupidest thing in hitting him.
"It's Sasuke-sama."
He dropped his hand.
"Hai, Sasuke-sama..."
"I can't hear you slave."
She twitched, but defeated made her voice louder and repeated what he said, a light flush on her cheeks and thank god no one was too close by to hear. Damn him, all of them...
"Better. Now come on, your classmates will start thinking something is seriously wrong with you if you're sick all the time."
He let go of her shoulder giving her a cool emotionless look.
Her eyes softened, so maybe he'd decided to cover for her missing class? Or come up with it-she supposed it was better than just leaving her to get in trouble, but that didn't make up for what he did! Plus her state of dress...!
"W-wait! Sasuke-sama, my pants..."
"They're fine, you're not that girly anyway with the way you punch."
He smirked and she clenched her fist at the insult stopping a reply to his comment and going to walk around him. He blocked her and it took everything for Sakura not to throw her hands up.
"What now Sasuke-?"
She was too fed up to remember the suffix, but it looked like he gave her break this time-gripping the back of her shirt again and pulling her towards the school entrance and her class.
"H-hey I can walk just fine on me o--"
"You're too slow."
He cut in giving a hard tug to shut her up as he dragged her.
"I am not, Sasuke-kun."
She huffed, pouting and the Uchiha gave the smallest bearable quirk of his lips.

(And, end! Well, I thought about ending it here, but I GUESS since it's been so long Here's some more! )

"Mrs. Haruno?"
"She's here."
"Ah Sasuke, how nice of you to escort Haruno."
Sakura was currently rubbing her back with a palm, really wishing people would stop saying 'nice' about Neji and his group, plus when she was being shoved into the class room-she'd almost fallen! She looked back at Sasuke with a glare, several fan girls shooting their own glares at the SKINNY PINK GIRL standing so close to their darling Uchiha. How dare she take in his air, and stare at him where he could tell she was looking unlike the more flustered and cowardly of the fan girls! It wasn't fair!
"Gomen Kakashi-sensei I--"
"She had another stomach ache."
"Another one? Do you want to lie down Sakura?"
She inwardly groaned, sickened at how Sasuke could loop their sensei around her finger-her benefit or not!
"I-I thought I did. I'm better now."
"That's good. Please go to your seat."
"Hai..."
She shot Sasuke a look, walking past Tenten's desk to her seat beside a...empty chair? Was Neji late too? She looked over to the doorway to see if Sasuke was still there, and by sure he was and staring at her! Sakura suddenly wanted to grow really small and shrink away from those curious and jealous glances-the fire in some girls made her skin go cold. Why? Why did she have to get so much attention! Was he waiting for something?
She glanced back to him; confused when he started to lift his hand. Kame, was he going to give her another order? IN FRONT OF EVERYONE?!
"Bye, Sakura-Chan."
Shock and screams erupted as the raven-haired boy walked away. Tenten turned around to stare at Sakura with wide eyes to match her own.
"Are you...you do know that is Uchiha Sasuke right?"
"It's nothing...there's nothing between us!"
She shouted, her face going red.
Murmurs sounded, and Kakashi shot Sakura and the rest of the class a glare-it was time to leave gossip for another time-even if that HAD been a little amusing.
Class started and notes began, still no Neji...she felt really on edge, and the ways people kept looking at her when though she didn't notice was driving her crazy!
It wasn't until she felt a note hit her forehead that it was obvious she'd zoned out. She looked up to see Tenten smiling over at her and Kakashi teaching something further with their lesson. Unfolding the note she started to read, knowing thankfully she could trust Tenten and she wasn't to bothered with notes...she'd gotten plenty at her old school. By now she was unaffected.
So are you and Sasuke going out? I can't believe...just be careful and he's a bit greedy about getting what he wants, but then look at all the girls you'll make jealous! Ha, hope it works out--I know you can take care of yourself and we just met but talk to me about it if things get weird. I heard a rumor that the last girl who liked him changed completely-like she doesn't even talk anymore. Can you believe it? Ah, probably some silly rumor though...You have to tell me all the details, plus your face is totally red! You really think you can hide things from me?
Love,
Tenten
D-Details?! Girl changing...WHAT?!
Her head a buzz she just sighed at a still smiling Tenten and dropped her head on the desk. How did she get into this, damn Sasuke had probably called her that on purpose! Poor fan girls, how could anyone love being treated like dirt? Not here and she'd though he was nice for a moment...
Beep. Beep. Beep!
"Mm..."
She lazily looked around for the soft beeping sound.
What now?
Something was lit...oh her wrist! She'd forgotten about that...She felt a great foreboding, and glanced down at the displaying message, Oh no, oh no! Her heart was in her throat...nerves so HIGH- she read it silently.
NICE TRICK. NO BREAKFAST AND NO LUNCH. TSK. LOOK UP.
The door opened and Sakura looked up to see Neji-standing there with a mocking look her way as he held her bag, a small box lunch, and his own books.
Looking away quickly she heard a murmured chatter between teacher and student and stared down at her nice lovely wooden desk, starting to shake. Damn, damn, damn.
He sat beside her with a charming smile as more jealous looks were sent her way.
"Haruno-san."
She gulped inwardly, trying to look grateful for her...stuff.
"I- thanks."
She tried to keep up a smile wanting more than anything to look away or punch him. Punching him sounded really good...well if she could hit him.
Neji placed her bag down behind her chair and handed her the lunchbox, leaning closer.
"You have to eat every bit of what I made."
"You used my kitchen!?"
She yelled back in whisper, feeling like her privacy had been invaded. He ignored her and set the box in her lap, smiling with charm that could only be marked cruel.
