Next To the Fountain with Sasuke Kun!

A/N: I hope you guys are enjoying it so far, is this story too cliché?

Sakura wondered around the house, she could tell by the daylight that it was nearly home time and she had no idea what to do. When was Okasan getting back?

Between the day, Sakura had noticed a few things.

There were no clocks around the house, Itachi's room was more brighter than Sasuke's room, or hers, the living room was the largest room out of all the rooms and Sasuke's wardrobe was very messy but Itachi's was really neat.

Sakura looked at her body in the mirror, the clothes that Okasan had bought her fitted perfectly, it was a soft dress that flew freely around her knees with flat shoes. Sakura walked out the door, deciding to meet the boys and walk them home, only to remember that Itachi attended university.

Okay, I'll just get Sasuke then. If I have to live in this family, I must contribute to this family, jeez, I must sound like some… weirdo.

Sakura rushed across the road which she could remember and finally reached the school just as the doorbell went.

Sakura smiled as she saw a daggy Sasuke rush out of school with a feared look on his face, Sakura frowned as about seven girls sprinted to get him. One of them Sakura remembered as Ino.

"Sasuke Kunnnn!! We love youuuu!" Sasuke smiled as he saw Sakura, he rushed towards her and grabbed her hand in his.

"Just keep running," He told her and pulled her along.

"Fine! Go off with your dumb girlfriend!!" Sasuke slowed down and looked back, the girls still stood there, pouting and cursing.

"I thought you were resting," He let go of her hand gently.

"Yea I was, but then I was bored. I thought I might need fresh air you know?" She smiled at him and he glanced at her clothes.

"Hmm. I see that you started wearing those new clothes,"

"Yea, your mother's really nice," Sasuke smiled and looked around.

"What do you say to a walk in the city?" Sakura smiled.

"The city? I'd love to!" Sasuke took her hand and ran.

"Hop on!" He hopped on a moving tram full of other people and pulled her up, he pulled her closer until she was in his chest and could hear his heart beat seeing that it was so crowded.

Sakura leaned her head on the pole as she waited for their destination, Sasuke took her hand and looked out, as if ready to run again.

"Don't let go, otherwise you'll get lost," He tightened his grip and quickly pulled her out as the cars cleared way.

"Well, we're here!" Sasuke was practically bellowing out over the enormous crowd. "Where do you wanna go first?!"

"Over there!" Sakura pointed to where a fantastic fountain sat in the middle of the concrete.

"Hold my hand! Otherwise you'll get lost!" Sasuke looked around them, craning his neck over the crowd as if he was looking for someone. He took out a pair of tinted sun glasses and put them on, pulling her towards the magnificent fountain.

"I thought girls normally like shopping!"

"Well I wanna see this!" Sakura stood staring at the huge thing, water sprayed onto her face as Sasuke kept looking around cautiously.

Sakura closed her eyes, then her drowsiness took over, she swayed on her feet and smiled, the feeling was extraordinary, the water was so soft, like it was the wind that softly caressed her face.

"Sasuke Kun, can you do something for me?"

"What?" Sakura opened her eyes and turned to face him.

"Close your eyes," Sasuke lifted up his sunglasses and hooked them behind his ears so it rested on his head. He creased his brow.

"Now?"

"Yea,"

"Why?"

"Just close them," Sasuke looked around, still cautious. "I said…close them," Sakura stepped towards him and placed her palm on his eyes, running down his face so that his eyes closed.

He opened his eyes again.

"No, you're meant to close them!" Sakura grinned and he looked down at her. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer so that his mouth was next to her ear. In Sakura's world, everyone disappeared around her, only Sasuke and the fountain was left, with that soft spraying on her cheek.

"Play along," He muttered hoarsely in her ear and leaned down to her lips. A smile flicked on her mouth, and she pulled his head down closer as she spotted the blonde girl and her gang. She grabbed his hair and held her lips close to his, closing her eyes slightly. She pulled him into a tender, long kiss as Ino approached with her girls.

Sakura must've gotten into it, or thought of it the wrong way because she wanted more. Sasuke pulled apart and kissed her again, Sakura was then jerked away.

"Sorry if I'm interrupting anything, but maybe you would like to keep it private," Ino gave a fake smile and walked off.

"Thanks," He muttered as they walked off, Sakura readjusted her hair and abruptly fell forward with her eyes closed, Sasuke held her shoulders and pushed her back up.

"Okay, I think we need to get you home, I forgot that you were sick," Sasuke pulled her deeper into the city.

"Hold on," He led her into a sushi bar and sat Sakura down while he approached the counter.

Sakura watched wearily as Sasuke spoke to a familiar woman, she took off her apron and walked towards Sakura with Sasuke behind.

Sakura realized the woman as Sasuke's mother. Sasuke helped her up and they walked to the car at the back of the car park.

Sakura was put in the car at the back seat with Sasuke next to her, okasan hopped in the front and started the engine.

Sakura's head drooped on Sasuke's shoulder as she fell asleep, her fever burning up.

"Itachi, run some cool water in the tub," Okasan walked up the stairs with Sasuke following after, carrying Sakura.

Sasuke and Itachi exited as okasan took off Sakura's clothes and placed her in the cool water. She walked out and closed the door as Sakura just opened her eyes from feeling the cool water on her.

She sat up and blinked, rubbing her eyes, she splashed water on her face. Okasan entered again with her pajamas and a small towel. She bent down near Sakura and dipped the towel in the water, placing it on her forehead.

"Just try to rest okay?"

"Thanks," She walked out and Sakura took her hair out, dipping her head in the water and washing it with shampoo and conditioner.

&&

Sakura opened her eyes as she lay on her bed, she looked to her bedside with her left over porridge. She took it and ate the rest of it up, wiping her sweat away from her forehead. The light was on and she looked over to where Sasuke was sitting at his desk with piles of books opened up.

By his constant tapping of his pencil and shaking of his leg, Sakura could tell he was really stressed. Sakura felt her forehead, she was sweating, but there wasn't a temperature.

"Need help?" Sasuke jumped as Sakura bent down to look at his books.

"Na, it's okay," He continued tapping his pencil. Sakura looked at him smugly.

"Carry the four squared over and replace z with y, that gives you the substitute over eighty four," Sasuke looked at her with a surprised look.

"How did you learn year twelve math?" He did as he was told.

"I don't know, I taught myself I guess,"

"Hn."

"Sorry for waking you up, this is due tomorrow and I haven't done most of it yet,"

"Why don't you just go rest for a bit, I'll do it for you," Sasuke stared at her in disbelief.

"What?"

"Nothing, you don't have to do it," He stood up and walked downstairs, flicking off the lights, but didn't come back up. Sakura sat down on his chair and picked up his pencil, rubbing out most of his incorrect answers and quickly scribbling down the correct ones.

In about five minutes, Sakura had finished two exercises and before fifteen minutes was up, she had finished the whole thing.

She closed his books neatly and put his pencil back in his case, then walking downstairs, this time, she would know if it was Sasuke if anything happened to her.

"You need a drink?"

"Ummm yea, how do you walk around in here in the dark?" Sakura said as she bumped into a wall.

"I'm used to it,"

"Oh… thanks," A glass was pressed into her hands and she glugged it down.

"You did my homework didn't you?"

"Yea I did,"

"… thanks,"

"No worries, it's the least I can do."

"Are you coming to school tomorrow?"

"Yea I guess, I'm feeling fine-" Sakura felt a cool hand press on her forehead, it rested there for a few seconds.

"You're clearing up; you'll be fine by tomorrow morning,"

"Otuoto, what are you doing so late down here? And with Sakura too… you're not getting up to mischief are you?" Footsteps were heard coming downstairs.

"No, aniki."

"Good, how are you feeling Sakura?"

"I'm fine thanks,"

"Hmmm. Get an early night otuoto, I don't want to be late tomorrow."

"Yea," Itachi walked back upstairs and Sasuke turned to face her.

"We should get to sleep now,"

"Yup," They walked back upstairs and hopped in their bed, Sakura urged to say it, she opened her mouth and closed it, then opening her mouth again.

"Night Sakura," He beat me to it. Sakura blinked, unsure of what she had just heard.

"Goodnight, Sasuke Kun,"
