Chapter 6- Confused raven boy
Sakura and Sasuke have unconsciously become extremely close to each other. They talked to each other often and tease each other like friends usually do. One time when sakura made fun of sasuke, it results in him tickling her.
Sasuke have never touched a girl willingly other than sexual interaction so this was quite a change.
Everyone else other than sasuke and sakura noticed the change and fan girls are hating sakura more and more.
"Hey sakura…" naruto said as she gave him her attention.
"Are you free later?"
"Um, yeah I guess."
"Do you want to get ramen with me?" he asked shouting but only loud enough for the members of the Shinobi to hear.
Naruto was blushing furiously and rubbing the back of his head nervously. Anyone's conclusion to the behavior would be that naruto has a crush on sakura.
The members of the Shinobi raised their brow thinking about their friend's crush while sasuke unconsciously was glaring at his best friend furiously.
Sakura looked at naruto weirdly with a questioning glance.
He whispered something in her ear and she grinned.
Naruto sat back at his seat blushing as red as a tomato waiting for sakura's answer.
"Of course I'll get ramen with you naruto!" she said beaming while naruto smiled at her.
By this time sasuke was fuming inside though he kept his emotionless facade outside. Weird why he hated his best friend whom he known for 8 years just because of this.
Sakura smiled at the thought of going out with naruto later that evening. She still remembered what he whispered to her in class before.
Flashback
"I have a crush on your friend hinata, but she is neiji's cousin and if he knew I'm asking her out alone than he would kill me. Could you invite hinata with you and come with us so it doesn't really look like a date. Please sakura I'm begging you."
End of flashback
She grinned before making her way to the next class where the girls are.
"Hinata, are you free later this evening?" sakura asked and she nodded.
"Great, let get a snack later!" sakura said smiling victoriously.
"You only ask hinata to go with you? Have you forgotten about us forehead girl?" Ino said fake glaring at sakura.
She whispered something in her ear as she squealed.
"Really, he said that?!" Ino asked and sakura nodded in reply.
"Well have fun hinata!" Ino said earning a confuse look from hinata and tenten.
"Hey dobe!" sasuke addressed naruto.
"What teme?"
"Why are you going with sakura?" he asked and naruto blushed.
"It none of you business teme." He said before escaping the raging raven boy.
"Sakura, what are waiting for?" hinata asked. She had changed out of her school uniform and into a light blue tank top which was covered by a white jacket and matching denim skirt.
Sakura was wearing a Grey hoodie with a red mini skirt but not without leggings underneath.
"Hinata, what do you think of naruto?" sakura asked and hinata blushed furiously as red as a tomato.
Sakura smirked. It wasn't hard to notice hinata's crush for the knuckle head blond. She was always blushing and stuttering whenever he's around and had fainted once when naruto hugged her.
She didn't have to answer cause a Ferrari stopped in front of them and the windows were rolled down revealing the blond boy.
Hinata was wide eyed but sakura lead her to the car where they drove to the ramen stand.
The next day, sakura was at sasuke's place again finishing the last part of their project. She was happier than usual for she was smiling early in the morning when she met up with naruto.
"What's going on between you and naruto?" sasuke suddenly ask. He doesn't know what make him hate his best friend all of a sudden.
"What do you mean?" she asked clueless
"You were out on a date with him." Sasuke growled out which earned a small chuckle from sakura.
"Oh, that. Naruto asked me if I could help pair him up with hinata."
"Neiji's cousin?" sasuke asked and sakura began explaining what naruto had whispered to her.
"Who knew that dobe had a crush with the hyuuga?" sasuke said shaking his head.
His anger towards the blonde had diminished as soon as she explained.
"Don't you think they made a cute couple?" Sakura mused happy for her friend.
"Aah."
Like every other night during the past week sasuke would drop her of her house but then it started raining heavily and there were thunderstorms. The radio said that there would be a storm that night.
"Why don't you come in? It's dangerous staying for you to go back like this." She offered and he agreed.
He followed her to the elevator when they went up to the 23rd floor. She led him o her room which was opened by a white-haired man.
"Sasuke, this is watari my personal butler." Sakura said introducing him to watari who formally bowed at him.
Sasuke entered the flat and examined the room which was actually to his liking; cozy and comfortable.
A white blur was seen until sasuke was tackled to the ground and was licked furiously.
"What the-"
"Snow, come here boy." Sakura cooed and the dog jumped of sasuke and ran towards sakura greeting her happily.
Sasuke stood up wiping the sticky stuff on his face.
"I'm sorry, but it seems that snow likes you." She said petting the dog who barked in return.
"Hn."
"Do you want to stay overnight? They said the storm would clear down early tomorrow morning." She said and sasuke hesitantly nodded. She smiled and requested watari to let sasuke borrow his clothes which he gladly offered.
"Here, you can change into these. It'll keep you warm when the storm hit in." she said handing him a set of watari's pajamas.
Sasuke thanked her before going into sakura's bedroom which he examined for a minute until he head for the bathroom where he showered and changed, he also borrowed a tooth brush to brush his white teeth.
During his shower, he thought about sakura.
She was certainly different from other girls. Not once had she try to seduce him or flirt with him. She was kind to him, treats him as a person and sees him pass the image. She offered him clothes while other girls would do anything to get his clothes off. She offered him to stay because of his safety and not for pleasure.
Sasuke went out wearing a pajamas pants and a white loose shirt.
He saw sakura looked up from the place she was sitting which is her bed.
"Sasuke, you can sleep in my bed tonight. "
"Where will you sleep?"
"The couch."
"No, I'll sleep on the couch. You take the bed."
"No, how could I let the guest sleep on the couch? Mine isn't as comfortable as yours."
"I'll be fine."
"No, I'll be fine you sleep on the bed."
"Fine, I'll sleep on the bed." Sasuke said while sakura smirked happily.
"But you sleep in the bed with me." Sasuke said emotionlessly while sakura's face turned red in embarrassment, "WHAT?!!!"
"Not like that. Your bed is big enough for three people. We can actually sleep on it…" sasuke said and sakura calmed down.
"As long as you don't try anything." She said before heading for the showers.
Sasuke sat back looking around the room. It was a nice and cozy room. He half expected it to be entirely pink.
Sasuke snapped out of his thoughts when someone walks out of the bathroom. His breath caught up in his throat yet again.
Sakura emerged from the bathroom with an oversize shirt which goes down just above the knee hiding the short shorts underneath it. Her outfit revealed her slender long legs which walked around with such grace. Her hair was damp and wet but still beautiful. She wasn't wearing her glasses letting sasuke see her beautiful, mesmerizing eyes.
Onyx eyes followed the water droplet as it trailed down her exposed neck.
Sakura caught his gaze and smiled at him angelically before walking up to him and slipping under the covers of her side of the bed.
Sasuke copied her movements and made himself comfortable on her bed. It wasn't long when he fell into peaceful slumber.
Sasuke woke up the next morning feeling better than usual. He was immediately alert when he found out that he woke up in an unfamiliar place but calmed down when he remembered what happened.
He turned to his side to see sakura sleeping peacefully. One of her arms was around the white dog which she comfortable snuggled into his fur.
Sasuke felt a strange urge to replace the dog with himself. Wait…was he jealous? Of a dog no less…
He was confused with his new feeling and was brought out of his thought when he felt the bed shift.
Sakura snuggled closer to the warmth; her eyelids were closed hiding the emerald orbs hidden under it and her mouth was slightly parted.
To sasuke, it looked very inviting, almost begging him to kiss her but he controlled himself and slipped out of bed.
School should be starting in an hour so he went to the bathroom and washed himself.
He wore the school uniform he had on yesterday and walked out to be greeted by a sleepy sakura.
"Morning." She said eyeing sasuke who had his shirt unbuttoned half way revealing his well-toned chest. His tie hung loosely and neglected around his neck, in a bad boy style. His hair was messy in a cool way as sakura wondered how soft it is.
She stood up and went into the bathroom after sasuke. Slipping in the cold waters to wake her up. She washed herself before doing all her other morning necessities. She buttoned up her shirt the whole way leaving only the first one unbuttoned. She preferred to leave two of them unbuttoned but that would show her tattoo. She wore her skirt which reached above her knee instead of the thigh like most of the girls use it as. Her tie was done neatly as she combed her hair quickly and putting on her Grey socks, she exited the bathroom to find sasuke waiting for her.
Sakura grabbed her messenger bag, put on her glasses and bid watari and snow good bye before following sasuke out of the room and into the hotel's lobby.
"I'll drive you to school." He announced dragging her to the parking lot despite her soft protests.
The car he used yesterday is still in the parking lot of the hotel as he drove to school.
Sakura stared out the window looking at the grass which was wet because of yesterday's rain.
"Stop here." Sakura said earning a confused look from sasuke.
"Your fan girls will kill me if they see me coming out with you." He explained but sasuke ignored her and continued driving.
Sakura demanded that sasuke stop the car and after much coaxing he did…
In front of the school…
"Sasuke…" She growled and glared at him menacingly but he simply ignored it and step out of the car only to be greeted by fan girls.
He waited for her patiently, giving her a you-better-get-your-ass-here look.
She took a deep breath and stepped out of the car causing gasps and whispers to arouse.
"Why was she with sasuke?"
"That bitch did something to sasuke didn't she?"
"She's ugly, why would sasuke even bother?"
"Did the whore take advantage of sasuke?"
They hurled insult after insult at sakura accusing her of the things she had not even thought of doing.
She shrunk back and kept her gaze on the ground.
She was always an inferior, even in anbu no one acknowledged her except for tsunade. It isn't until she became an anbu number did she gain the recognition of some of her peers but even so, some of them still look down on her and claimed that she got the position by bribing or because she was favored by tsunade.
She hated it, not being given a chance to prove herself.
Sasuke somehow noticed her sad mood and grabbed her hand pulling her along with him.
"We'll be late for class." He said and sakura smiled at him sadly.
He's one of the few who didn't treat her like an inferior and she was grateful for that…
So how was it? I'm not sure if this one is good but i hopeit is.
