Mysterious Stranger.

A/N: Okay, since I can't be bothered searching up Sasuke's mother's name, I'm just gonna refer her as to Okasan, yea? I think I spelt it wrong…

The bell for end of the day rung and Sakura followed behind Sasuke and his group of girls, don't tell me that these are his girlfriends… Sakura kept her eye close on the blonde girl.

"Sasuke Kun! That nerd is following you!" If anything, Sakura had sharp hearing and she could tell that it was that blonde girl.

Sakura cleared her throat to confirm that she was within hearing range. The girl swung around as Sasuke's mouth twitched as if halfway towards smiling but then stopped.

"Who is she anyway Sasuke Kun!?" The girls surrounding him agreed and began to cuddle him; that discomforted face appeared again.

Sasuke shifted them off and walked towards Sakura, leaning down he lifted Sakura's chin so that she looked up at him.

"She's my girlfriend," he muttered hoarsely and pressed his lips softly against hers, reaching out and wrapping his arms around her waist, Sakura stared at his eyes, softly closed.

Sakura dropped her books and looked everywhere as her head rushed, girls are staring at me, Sasuke Kun is kissing me. Am I missing something?! Was this some sort of cheap dare? Are they all…teasing me somehow? Or humiliating me?

Sakura opened her mouth as he pulled away, but he interrupted her before she could speak.

"You shouldn't come to school tomorrow, your burning up bad," He lifted his hand and placed it on her forehead. Sakura was stunned.

"W-what?"

"What the hell was that?! She's your girlfriend?! Ohhh okay, nice joke Sasuke Kun!" The blonde girl laughed.

"Come on, let's get outta here," Sasuke grabbed Sakura's book and pulled her with him as more girls ran after him, tears in their eyes.

Sasuke broke into a run and so did Sakura, he quickly pulled her into the boys toilets and the footsteps died down with confused mutters.

"What are we doing in here?! This is the boys' toilets!"

"Calm down, no one ever comes in here except-"

"Hey Sasuke Teme! Hm? What's Sakura doing here?" Naruto entered and blinked at them.

"Don't ask about what happened, if you must know, I don't particularly like girls all over me. No hard feelings,"

"Oh, okay," Sakura touched her face, it was boiling, most likely from her fever, or so Sakura wanted to think.

"I want you to be my fake girlfriend," He looked at her with those colorless eyes.

He's so… up front.

"What?! Then that means Sakura can't date me!" Naruto yelled.

"Shut up," Sasuke snapped at him.

"Yes? No?"

"Uhhh yea,"

"Well first off, I don't want you to feel uncomfortable around me, just relax, you look tense," Sakura immediately grew anxious, the statement had just made her uncomfortable.

"We should get home, you need to rest," He shoved her books into his bag and it bulged up even more, he peeked around the corner and walked out, Sakura followed.

Sakura quickly fell to her knees as she walked inside the warm, inviting house, breathing heavily.

"Here," An onigiri was held in front of her nose and she looked up to see the bigger brother, Itachi.

"Thanks," She took it gratefully and began eating.

"Hn, you look pretty weak, you should go rest. I'll tell mother that you'll be sleeping," Itachi walked away, flicking her a little smile. Finishing the last bit, Sakura used her last strength to pull herself up the stairs and fall onto the bed in a slump, dozing off almost instantaneously.

&&

He edged closer, muttering something about his girlfriend. His arms began to stretch out as did his lips, his eyes gently closed as if what he was doing was full of feeling and emotions. He swiftly pressed onto me and I felt a zap of tingling in my lips, his lips weren't those dry and hoarse feeling type, it was soft as if he used chapstick. Now my fingers tingled as my thoughts rushed through my head, passing by so quickly, I couldn't grab one to think about.

And then, he wrapped his arms around my waist, his arms were… nice.

Pulling away, he pressed his hand on my forehead which hotter than ever-

"No!" Sakura flung herself up, her sweating forehead gave her the impression that she was having a bad dream…only it wasn't that bad.

She looked down at her shivering, pale hands, a bead of sweat rolled down her temples and she flung off her blankets that were making her boil.

She walked out of her room, it was pitch black. She began to feel the walls for guidance to the stairways, coming to the railing she placed a foot on the step beneath her. Gradually getting used to it, she stepped faster and reached the bottom. She felt her way to the kitchen, that's if she could remember the way to the kitchen.

As she kept on walking, she suddenly bumped into a wall, Sakura stepped back confused, she could swear that the kitchen was here somewhere.

"Kitchen's over here, Sakura." Sakura swiveled around, not sure whether it was Itachi or Sasuke. A hand suddenly touched Sakura's hand; it pulled her over so confidently in the dark Sakura was scared that she would fall.

"You can't sleep?" He asked her.

"Yea…"

"Hn."

"Um… Is this Sasuke Kun or Itachi?" She clenched her sweating hands.

"Guess." Sakura inhaled, deciding to skip the question.

"Where are the glasses?" Sakura began to feel around the benches, she gasped as she touched his above his torso, but did not move. He didn't say anything; she couldn't even hear him breathe.

She began to breathe faster and louder as she could feel his face's silhouette loom near hers.

"Here," He pushed a heavy glass, supposedly full of water, in her hands. Sakura screwed her eyes up as his lips pressed onto hers, it was soft like she expected it to be. He pulled away.

"Now go back to bed and rest," He hoarsely muttered. Sakura nodded dazedly and walked back obediently while trying to keep her glass in her shaking hand.

She sat down on her bed, drinking up all the water. Was she hallucinating? Was this some kind of trick everyone was playing on her? She wasn't even meant to be here!

Sakura would just have to sleep on it, she lay back down on her pillow and placed the glass on the table, closing her eyes and dozing off.

&&

"Sakura, wake up, school time," Sakura opened her eyes to see a familiar face smiling at her. She watched her as she went to wake up Sasuke who was next to her, she kissed him on the forehead.

"Actually Sakura, I think you should stay home today, your fever has gotten worse." Okasan stood in the doorway holding clothes, "oh yes, here, I bought you some clothes, I hope they're your size. Sasuke only told me now that you lost your backpack!"

"Thank you so much," Okasan placed it on the bed and smiled at her as she walked out, again she paused and turned around.

"Oh, I have to go to work soon, would you be okay by yourself? Or would you like me to stay home?"

"Oh no, I'll be fine thanks," Okasan smiled, "oh, please make sure the boys wake up and go to school!" Sakura nodded and she quickly rushed out. Sakura looked over to Sasuke who closed his eyes again, ignoring the wake up call.

Could it be Sasuke that kissed me again last night? Or was it Itachi? Or was I just hallucinating?

She touched her hand and lay back down on her bed, facing Sasuke who was snuggled deep inside his blankets.

"I'm going! See you guys later today!! Thank you Sakura!" Okasan called out from downstairs and the door was heard opening and closing. Silence filled through the house. Sakura stood up and walked next to Sasuke, she shook him gently and he blinked his eyes sleepily.

"Sasuke Kun, you have to go to school soon," She softly told him and he nodded, then lifting his wrist up he checked his watch that had a gold band.

"Oh shit!" He threw the blankets off him and hurriedly changed Sakura rushed to Itachi's room, it was closed. She knocked and opened the door, only to find Itachi topless and blinking at Sakura with a mild shocked expression.

Sakura quickly looked down at her feet.

"I'm sorry, but I think you're late for school," She peeked up who Itachi also the same checked his watch, only it was a different one.

"Oh shit!" He also quickly changed and the two boys rushed out, pushing each other to reach downstairs first, Sakura rushed after them and watched as they grabbed their pre-made lunches and sprint out the door. The house was even quieter than before.
