Sasuke: Sucker…

RECAP
"I… want you Sakura…" he whispered into her ear, nibbling it slightly. He grasped her and began to plant kisses over her body. Sakura gasped. She didn't want to be here, she didn't want to get raped in a hostile alleyway. She started screaming. He covered her mouth with his hand and pulled a gun out of his back pocket.
"Say another word and you'll get it," he said possessively. Sakura had tears running down her cheeks and her body shook uncontrollably.
"Please… somebody…" She prayed.
"HEY! LET GO OF HER!"
END RECAP
Sakura's eyes drifted to the end of the narrow alleyway. There, stood a tall man, with onyx eyes, round with shock. He was wearing a black tshirt with plain jeans and he seemed to be passing by. Beside him stood a red haired woman with jade eyes, wearing a plaid skirt and a white cardigan.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!" The man bellowed at Nobuya. He charged at the senior, causing a brawl between them. Sakura fell to her knees, sobbing hysterically. The lady ran up to Sakura, covering her from the dangerous fight.
"ITACHI! Yamedo!" screamed the red haired woman. She had tears in her eyes and Sakura was crying in her arms.
The man named Itachi stopped and allowed Nobuya to break free and run. The stranger came up to Sakura and asked,
"You ok?" His voice seemed vaguely familiar, something that was hidden in the back of her mind for years.
"Are you… an Uchiha?" Sakura slurred. Her vision wavered, trying to focus on the lady and Itachi.
She felt him stiffen. She could feel herself swaying. Then, the last thing she saw, was the red haired person's calming smile…
-----------------------
Sakura's emerald eyes fluttered opened. She looked around the warm room. She lay in a white bed and her clothes had been changed into black shorts and a long white tshirt that reached her knees. Her eyes rested on the person sitting on a wooden chair beside her bed, fast asleep was…
"Sasuke?" she asked timidly. Sasuke woke up from his doze with a shock. He rubbed his eyes sleepily and yawned widely. Sakura stifled a giggle.
"Awake now? Pinky?" He asked standing up, stretching out his limbs. A vein popped out of Sakura's forehead.
"Don't call me that!" She said through gritted teeth, suppressing her anger. He laughed heartily. She smiled inside her mind with peace. Sasuke's laugh seemed so happy, especially when he was around her.
"Is that the way? Seeing you were unconscious when we tended to you". Sakura's mind jumped.
Then, the thoughts from last night came rushing to her. How stupid was she, to follow a senior, into a deserted alley with no one around.
"Oh… don't remind me…" Her eyes found the sheets very interesting. Sasuke looked down, pretty much ashamed of himself.
"Sorry. My brother found you. He brought you back here," Sasuke said quietly. Her head jerked up.
"YOUR brother?" she questioned. No wonder the mysterious stranger had the same looks as Sasuke.
"Yeah. He's 22 at the moment, he's got a fiancée too," Sasuke answered, looking out the window. Sakura stood up and stood beside him. Outside, it was cloudy grey, with hints that it will rain soon.
"Hey, little bro, whatcha doing?" Sakura and Sasuke turned to see Itachi, leaning on the doorway, smirking at them crazily.
"Tch, nothing. Where's Tsukemi-san?" Sasuke asked his older brother.
"Ohayoo! Hope you like miso soup!" The red haired woman came into the room, carrying a tray with 3 large bowls of steaming soup.
"Sakura-san, meet my fiancée, Akita Tsukemi, you can call her Tsuki-chan!" Itachi introduced happily, aiding his love. Tsuki smiled kindly.
"Are you alright Sakura-chan? We were walking through the park until we heard your scream," She said, placing the bowls onto the bedside table. Sakura nodded slowly. She picked up the miso soup and sipped a little. It seemed… vaguely simple. Simple, but delicious. It was like the way her older sister used to make it when she was still alive.
"Is it good? I added a bit more vegetables than normal," Tsuki added, picking up the tray and walked downstairs into the kitchen. Itachi smiled at his wife-to-be and followed her.
"Oh and Sakura-san, if you're wondering who changed your clothes, it was Tsuki-chan, she thought you didn't deserve to get sick, especially after what you've been through. Hope you didn't think Sasuke was a hentai," Itachi said politely. Sasuke sighed and grinned.
"Hm? What's up?" Sakura asked, looking at his grin curiously.
"I've never seen him smile so much… especially since our whole family died…" Sasuke whispered, looking out the window again. Sakura was thinking hard too. What did he mean by "after what you've been through"? It was like a jigsaw puzzle to her, hints and clues lay here and there for her to discover piece by piece.
-----------------------
Sakura was back at her house, where her aunt Shiikure lectured her about being around boys who you didn't really know. Her aunt acted like a mother to her, but she understood how Sakura felt at her age, seeing she was only 18 when Sakura was first born.
"Sakura, you didn't even know him properly! And there you were, allowing him to rape you so simply!" Her aunt seemed to go on FOREVER but it actually took only 5 minutes to finish.
"Tsk! I can't believe GIRLS these days! Unbelievable…" Shiikure shook her head and stormed off to make lunch. Sakura just sat there, staring at the coffee table with interest. Her aunty was right. NEVER trust guys you don't know… How much has her aunty taught her over the past 10 years alone with her as company? Even though she made plenty of friends at her old town and school, she always seemed to have a part of her heart missing… She stood up abruptly and went to go help her aunt make some ramen.
-----------------------
Sakura went to school as usual on Monday morning. Ino, Tenten, Hinata and her went shopping at Konoha Shopping mall, having to rent a taxi to carry the rest of their bags.
Sakura sighed. How fun it was to enjoy the afternoon with her new found friends who were sure to be the best friends for the rest of her life.
"Hey, Sakura". She turned to find Uchiha Sasuke closing his Jaguar door and was walking towards her.
"Remember, we still have war on…" He whispered into her ear.
His voice is so…. Sexy! Ahh! It's so kawaii!
WTF! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?
Who do you think? I'm your inner self and I know you like Sasuke-kun!
Urgh, you are so sick! I'm not going to lose this war!
Fine! But I can see into the future and I saw you chasing little mini Sakura's and mini Sasuke's!
You are the worst inner self ever! NOW GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
"Uhh Sakura?" Sasuke's voice broke her spacing off. She jumped back to reality and blushed.
Man… she looks cute when she blushes… wait, WHAT WAS I THINKING JUST NOW?
Duh, it's obvious you like her, saying she's cute and all eh? –nudge nudge-
Urgh… not you again…
Yes it is me again indeed… by the way… a message from your inner self; YOU LIKE SAKURA! YOU LIKE SAKURA! Hahaha
No shit
Ok… that wasn't the response I was expecting… -poofs/disappears-
Tch… running away again are we?
I wasn't running away! Just poofing to go to the bathroom!
Excuses, excuses!
"Uhh Sasuke? The bell just rang?" This time, it was Sakura's voice to bring him back.
"RIGHT!" He ran to his locker with enthusiasm. Sakura stared at him, obviously clueless.
"Ok… That wasn't what I was expecting…" She shrugged and headed to her locker.
-----------------------
Class went by as usual, with Kakashi-sensei being late, once again with his excuses.
"Mornin' class! Hey Sasuke, Sakura, did ya have a good weekend?" –wink wink- Kakashi said as he took the roll.
"WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?" Sakura screamed from the back, standing up, toppling her chair over. Tenten and Neji stifled their laughs.
"Hm? How 'bout you Neji and Tenten? I heard you guys had a ball over at the large Hyuuga mansion eh Tenten?" –wink wink-. Neji turned bright red while Tenten whipped out a kunai and shot it at Kakashi's head. He dodged it skilfully and said,
"Tenten, try harder next time ok?" He smiled and sat back on his chair. Tenten fell back into her seat, mumbling words like, "Lousy perverted teacher…"
"WELL! Let's get this class started! Pass this back Neji, you can keep that copy, it'll do you some good one day". Kakashi handed a pile of orange books to the male Hyuuga. He took the one off the top and Tenten took one too. She stared at the cover and shouted,
"SENSEI! IT'S MATHS CLASS, NOT HENTAI CLASS!" She threw the book, labeled, 'Icha Icha Paradise' at his head. It fell perfectly onto his giggling face and knocked him out cold.
-----------------------
Unfortunately, they had to get a replacement teacher for Kakashi while he was taken by a fuming Tenten and Neji who was happy to DRAG his TEACHER down to the sick bay. The replacement was…
"HELLO MY LITTLE FLOWERS OF YOUTH! HOW ARE YOU ALL GOING TODAY?" Gai-sensei shouted, which almost burst the ears of Shikamaru's and Ino's, even though they were sitting in the third row.
"GAI-SENSEI!" A mushroom-haircut boy with REALLY fuzzy eyebrows named Lee shouted.
"LEE!"
"GAI-SENSEI!"
"LEE!"
It was continuous until a boy shouted,
"SHUT UP AND GET THIS FRIGGIN' CLASS STARTED! IT'S ALREADY BEEN 15 MINTUES SINCE YOU FREAKS STARTED THAT!"
"YES! EAGER FOR LEARNING I SEE!" Gai-sensei bellowed. Everyone except Lee sweatdropped.
The class went on for ages, with Sasuke sleeping on his desk while Sakura gazing out the window. Shikamaru was pretending to listen but he was actually dozing off like Sasuke. Ino was dawdling over her Maths book, Hinata was trying hard to learn carefully, Naruto had somehow smuggled an instant cup of ramen into class, Tenten was sharpening her weapons with a murderous glint in her eyes and Neji was staring at the clock wistfully. Others were learning, seeing how unintelligent they were… well most of them.
MAGICALLY, the day ended, the bell ringing waking up most of the sleeping people. Sakura, Tenten, Ino and Hinata headed to their lockers.
"Man, I'm going to murder that Gai sensei with his youthful crap… and Kakashi sensei with his perverted thoughts going with him to the grave! MUAHAHAHAHA". Tenten murmured evilly. Sakura and Ino sweatdropped while Hinata was too busy rummaging through her locker.
They went out to the front gate. All four of the boys were there waiting for them. Then, Sakura saw someone she hadn't seen in a while. There was a red haired boy with aqua eyes.
"GAARA-KUN!"
