Hiding In Sasuke's Arms!

A/N: I hope this story isn't getting too boring…

"What's so good about Sasuke anyway?" Naruto grabbed her hand again.

"Naruto please, just go home!" She jerked her hand out of his grasp and walked on, quickly disappearing into the crowd.

"Sakura Chan!" Sakura walked faster, finally sitting down on the water fountain's ledge after some few minutes. The soft water sprayed on her cheek as she hugged her bag, maybe she would consider going with Naruto, since he did pay for her… yet again, she could always pay him back, and she did kind of wanted to go with Sasuke.

Sakura stood up and looked up at the fountain; she creased her brow as she noticed the dark ominous sky, pretty soon, thunder would be rumbling and there would be an electric storm.

Sakura peeked inside her bag, making sure that the water wasn't spraying it she smiled, now that she looked at it more, it was beautiful. It had some hints of black and green on it that looked attracting. It was a v-cut with little sequins and beads lining the 'v'. It was pretty long, some of the material trailed behind her.

Sakura stood up, now all she had to find was shoes which she had spotted before, and now she could afford it seeing that Naruto paid for her dress.

&&

Sakura shoved the shoe box in her bag and growled, it had begun to rain already after about ten minutes of walking away from the city and she didn't have any shelter, there were also some soft rumbles of thunder. Sakura looked around her for shelter, she might as well wait, and people would be crowding to get on some sort of transportation. She wouldn't be home for ages!

She stood up and hugged the bag to her chest, walking further away from the city as people shoved past her, desperate to get on the tram; someone shoved her so hard that she nearly fell over!

"I thought you were just going out for fresh air," The rain stopped falling over her head and she turned around as she was greeted by Sasuke.

"Yea, I thought I might go buy my… formal dress."

"Hn." Sakura suddenly jumped and instantly began to shiver as flashes of lightning struck before her eyes. She quickly stepped forwards into Sasuke's chest and held her fists up to her chest, quickly dropping her bag and screwing her eyes up, biting her lip. Sasuke looked down at her, eyes wide with shock. He picked up her bag and wrapped his arms around her body, resting his chin on her head.

"It's just a storm,"

"I don't like storms," Sasuke barely heard her quivering voice; she was shaking so much he could even feel it.

Sakura winced as the thunder roared and the lightning appeared in her eyes, she could still see faint flashes even though she had her eyes tightly closed.

"Come on, we better get out of here, we don't want to get struck," He pushed her forward but she stepped back and stiffened.

"Sakura, we gotta go," Sakura's breathing got heavier as she tried to calm herself down although Sasuke thought she was just making herself panic more.

"Come on," He gave her an encouraging push and she took a step, taking more as Sasuke's encouragement calmed her down.

"I-I didn't know you had a car," Sakura breathed as Sasuke unlocked the car, letting her sit down in the passenger seat.

"It's not mine, but I can drive," Sasuke said as he got in the other seat next to her. "Feel better?" He asked her.

"Yea…"

"Wanna get something to eat on the way?"

"Yea okay," Sasuke started up the car and quickly drove off.

"Do you believe in love at first sight?" Sakura sat on a seat next to Sasuke in the kitchen with darkness surrounding them while the lightning flashed and thunder roared.

"Yes. Do you?"

"I don't know."

"Heh. So you are going to the formal?"

"I guess," Sasuke stood up.

"I'm going to bed, night," He gave one quick tousle of her hair and walked upstairs.

Sakura went up after him, jumping her bed to relax, only that the storm was keeping her wide awake.

"Go to sleep Sakura," Sasuke muttered from his bed, Sakura closed her eyes tightly, trying to block out the noise.

"I can't!" Sakura's bed lowered as he came and sat next to her, sighing.

"Go to sleep," He whispered soothingly, stroking her hair reassuringly, occasionally pushing her hair out of her face. He kissed on the cheek tenderly as soon as he knew she was asleep.

&&

Sakura blinked her eyes as her mind awoke, she sat up to find Sasuke sleeping on the floor in a curled up position.

She quickly took off her blankets and placed them on top of him, she yawned and walked downstairs just to see Okasan kiss Itachi goodbye.

"Are we late to school?" Sakura rubbed her eyes and yawned, checking her watch.

"Oh Sasuke didn't tell you? You don't have to go to school on the day of the formal, and I booked you in for hair and make up, don't worry, I'll pay for it,"

"What? No, I can't!"

"Oh don't be silly Sakura,"

"But I only just started going to this school, and this formal is just… you don't have to!"

"I insist, now your hair is getting done at five and your make up at six, that'll be plenty before reaching the hall at seven okay? I got to go to work now, if you have any questions just ask Sasuke okay? He'll know everything," She quickly rushed out and Sakura was left in confusion.

She walked back upstairs into her room and spotted Sasuke's school planner, she flipped it open to check the date. The present date had writing all over it, one of them was Sasuke's.

Sakura skimmed through it, skimming turned to reading.

"Do you actually like Sakura Chan?" That was probably Naruto.

"Why do you want to know?"
"Well apart from the whole fake girlfriend boyfriend thing… I dunno, just asking, you've been hanging out with her a lot."

"What would you want me say?"
"Just answer the question!"
"Yea I do, now go away."

"OooOOOoo man, you gonna score her?"
"Wtf? No! Fuck off!"
"Jeez, jeez. Chill mannnnn "

Sakura discontinued reading, sitting back down on her bed and placing his planner back on the table.

"Hm." Sakura sat on her bed, staring at Sasuke's calm face. A gentle wind blew in from the window, pushing her hair around her face. Sakura walked over to the window and stuck her head out, the air smelt fresh from the storm last night. There was still a light drizzle outside.

She stuck out her hand to feel the rain drop on her palm, drawing her arm back she wiped her hand on her pants and closed the window.

"I wonder if Itachi is up…" Sakura got up and walked to the other bedroom, opening the door a crack make sure that he wasn't changing. She opened it fully after seeing he wasn't there, well, not up yet.

Sakura stared at Itachi, he looked just the same as Sasuke as he slept quietly.

Sakura walked back to Sasuke's room and sat on her bed, sighing, what was there to do? She walked over to her bag and lifted up the dress that she bought, along with the shoe box.

She held it up to her body, staring at it, she hadn't seen anything nicer.

"Looks pretty good," Sakura turned around just to see Sasuke prop himself up, sitting up tiredly and rubbing his eyes.

"Excited about tonight?" Sakura opened her mouth to begin answering when Sasuke cut her off.

"Yea me too," Sakura smiled grimly.

"So you're scared of thunderstorms huh?" Even the word made shivers run down her spine.

"As you guessed,"

"Hn. Well if it makes you feel any better, it's predicted there's another storm tonight," Sasuke added in nonchalantly. Sakura's stomach churned.

"That's not funny," She ran over to Sasuke and started hitting his chest, eyes closed tightly. Sasuke chuckled to himself and then held Sakura's wrist away from him, smirking.
