Sweet Harmony

Chapter 9

It was early in the morning; Sakura arrived early as the very first student in the classroom, and head straight to her seat while humming 'My Paper Heart'. As her usual routine, she opened her bag and took out her assignment notebook to check everything that must be done as expected to a bright and obedient student.

Her green orbs looked thoroughly on a page from up going down while the things she's reading are being registered on her mind.

'History-check, this one's done, class bulletin board done', and she flipped into the next page 'Physics project- due 3 days from now', she put down her notebook 'So, Sakura-chan, you need to talk to Sasuke-kun about it' Sakura nodded and started whistling the same song.

Sakura was surprised that made her stop whistling and jumped from her seat when the door suddenly flung open by a person in a grumpy mood. But what surprised her the most was that the person was actually chicken-haired Uchiha with his iPod, probably in volume 30-35.

He walked in such cranky mood with his hands inside the pockets of his blazer and walked passed by, not taking notice of the pink haired girl sitting just beside him.

Sakura shyly raised her hand "Hi, Sasuke-kun" she greeted but Sasuke paid no attention to her as he sit down arrogantly at his chair with his eyes closed.

Sakura looked at him and said disregarding him listening to his iPod, "Looks like you're in a bad mood" she pouted a little

'But... I need to tell him about that project..', Sakura shook her head, 'The first operation must be: Help Sasuke Uchiha with his problem', she took a quick glance of Sasuke and her imagination got the best of her and made her see a black aura surrounding Sasuke as she quickly looked away.

'Why am I having such a bad feeling about this?', she bit her lower lip and breathed heavily 'Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale', she straightened her arm just like what teams are doing after the time-out meeting and she whispered "It would be okay Sakura-chan"

She faced Sasuke and pushed her chair a little. She raised her arm and poked Sasuke's arm but much to her surprise, he pulled his arm away. Sakura's eyes were wide open by his sudden reaction, but she got over it, breathing heavily, 'You must solve a problem before it get worse'

"Ssasuke-kun, umm, d-do you want to talk about something?" She nervously asked but Sasuke didn't notice her talking to him. Sakura gulped, "I-if you don't want to talk about something...t-then I need to t-talk to you about our project"

Sasuke finally realized that a living being is talking to him and he took off his earphones telling Sakura to repeat what she said.

"Ah, o-our Physics...d-due 3 d-days from now...the p-project"

"Then do it", Sasuke quickly replied without even looking at her and he eventually, put on his earphones again.

Sakura pushed her chair closer to Sasuke, "B-but it's a g-group project..." Sakura found it useless to talk to him but still continued to try at least "We b-both need to do it..."

No response from the bastard. Now, that's it.

Sakura stood up pushing her chair back and slammed her hand on the table "..WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?!!!" her voice echoed to the classroom, then to the school halls, the school's garden then to Sasuke's ear.

Sasuke angrily took off his phone after hearing her shout even with his music's in full blast and replied irritably "Why do you need to know everything?!"

They both started a glaring contest but for Sakura, she gave him a scornful look. Everything was interrupted when the girls and 3 of Heaven's fire went in the classroom chatting but quickly stopped after seeing the scene in front of them and after some milliseconds the pink haired ran out of the room with her arms covering her teary eyes.

"S-sakura-san!" Ino tried to call her as she closed the door behind her.

The group looked at Sasuke who was again listening to his iPod with his eyes closed, sitting arrogantly at his seat.

Ten-ten was the first one to confront Sasuke. She forcefully took off his earphones and glared at him "What happened?" she asked calmly.

Sasuke blankly looked at her.

"Answer that teme" Naruto threateningly said.

"..I didn't do anything"

"Then can you explain why Sakura ran out like that?!" Ino asked

Sasuke annoyingly replied "Then ask her! She's the one who has the problem"

The girls shook their head and went to their seats to drop their bags then went out to search for Sakura closing the door behind them.

"Is it about last night?" Neji asked and sat on his seat behind Sasuke same goes with Sai and Naruto.

"Hn" Sasuke nicely replied

"You still don't know who that guy is, it might just be a close friend of hers" Sai stated after Neji told him the story last Saturday.

"What?! Sakura's with a guy?!" Naruto reacted

"That's just not right" Neji said ignoring Naruto

Naruto looked at everyone totally clueless of whatever's happening

"There's one thing that you must remember Sasuke," Sai looked at him "Sakura's not yours and what you're doing is too unreasonable for you to do"

"That's right Sasuke" Neji agreed

"I'm not asking any of your opinions" Sasuke glared at them to shut them up


Lunch Break...

It would not be surprising to see an empty hallway like what Sakura just walked by when she came to school this morning since student's are probably devouring their lunch after the school took over the recess time for the announcement of the activities to come. But for our lovely cherry blossom, food by this time, won't make her full but will make her more sick, instead she walked around the school corridors searching for the Sasuke Uchiha. Finding out that someone's actually having some problems concerning you will definitely be enough to make you not hungry for the whole day especially without you knowing the truth.

After walking for about 30 minutes, she stopped when she saw the Sasuke Uchiha walking opposite her direction but like what happened that morning, he disregarded her like he's the only one walking at the hall, but for Sakura, this time is real and she can't be the one to blame since she's not aware of anything that's happening to the Sasuke Uchiha.

When Sasuke was about to walk past her, she moved to block Sasuke. Sasuke moved on the free side but Sakura blocked him again. Sasuke turned his back but Sakura quickly moved with her arms blocking the way.

"Move" Sasuke coldly said

Sakura looked at him directly in the eye, "We need to talk"

Sasuke turned his back for the second time but Sakura quickly blocked him, "Why won't you just tell it to me?!"

"I don't have anything to talk with you...Now, move" Sasuke warned

"No"

"Move"

"No!"

"…"

"Sasuke, I have a strong feeling that it concerns me, right? So I just wanted to know-."

Sasuke tugged her arm and pulled her toward him "Then you should at least be fair right?" Sasuke whispered audibly.

"If you want me to tell you something, then you should at least tell me something" Sasuke continued glaring at the girl.

"?" Sakura's eyes were widened in fear

Sasuke gripped her arm harder "You might have said a lot of nice words... but I just have one thing to tell you"

"Stop hiding behind that mask..."

"You're nothing but a crazy fan girl just like the others"

"!" Tears stated to roll down her cheeks

"Stop trying to get closer to me" he harshly gave her arm back and turned his back to walk away.

"I'm sorry" Sakura whispered audibly while sobbing as Sasuke stopped on his tracks

"If it's about that...is that's the reason.-sob-. I think I got nothing to say to you now" Sakura turned her back and slowly walked away sobbing as Sasuke looked at her from behind his shoulder.


Dismissal time...at the lobby

"Sasuke-san got jealous? How?" Ino asked

"Sasuke-kun doesn't seem to be acting like himself" Hinata said

"It's about last Saturday night when we went home" Neji explained "He was driving and when I was about to go down to the manor, we saw a car dropped Hinata"

"Then?" Ten-ten asked

"We saw Sakura inside the car...with a guy, and it really looks like it's not just a driver or something, so Sasuke got...jealous"

The girls look at each other

"It's just wrong for him to act like that" Sai said

"But teme can't really avoid that, he's a bastard from the very beginning" Naruto said

Hinata and Ino were giggling in the background when Ten-ten asked, "Why won't he just admit his feelings to Sakura-chan?"

"You knew Sasuke and his pride won't just go down that easily" Neji replied

"And it's Sasuke's first time to be in this situation, it won't be easy for him. He might be thinking that what he saw last Saturday means that Sakura's just acting as another person in front of him" Sai explained

"But even if Sakura's with a...guy, that doesn't mean that he can just do that to Sakura"

"What do you mean do that?" Naruto asked

"This lunch break, he called Sakura a crazy fan girl hiding behind her-so-called mask, and that's just unforgivable!"

"And now, Sakura-san's doing their project alone!" Ino protested

"HE ACTUALLY DID THAT?!" Naruto shouted

"Wait guys, calm down" Hinata said calming them down

Sasuke appeared around them and decided to not show himself when he heard them talking about what happened. He leaned on the post near their area to listen to them.

"Plus, he told her to quit trying to get close to him" Ten-ten continued trying to calm down

"Sakura-san's a good friend and who you guys see everyday is the real Sakura Haruno, we've been together since we were kids, and if ever you guys will see Sasuke today, please tell him that" Ino said

The guys couldn't manage to speak

"And tell him that don't be so possessive of Sakura-chan, he doesn't own her and he needs to learn to respect people, cause what he's doing is hurting someone that actually has no clue about his feelings" Ten-ten said

"And... tell Sasuke-kun, that the guy he saw with Sakura was Sakura-chan's dad" Hinata said

"!" the three guys looked at Hinata simultaneously "What?!"

Sasuke shifted his position from the post to look at Hinata wishing to hear what she said again

"Sasuke-kun thought that the guy with Sakura-san was someone she was going out with, but actually it was only her father" Hinata repeated

"Are you sure? That guy with her looks like just our age" Neji said

"We're serious, we even thought that he's Sakura's boyfriend, but we were surprised when Sakura told us that he's her father" Ten-ten said

"And Sakura won't have any reason to lie on that case, I knew her dad for a very long time" Ino said

"And he sure is handsome" Ino and Ten-ten murmured

"Oh...shit" Sai murmured

"Poor Sasuke" Neji whispered

Naruto stood up laughing his head off as some tears rolled down his eyes "S-SASUKE-T-TEME!! B-BASTARRD!!"

Sasuke stood on his position dumbstruck by what he just heard. Now, how the hell is he going to speak with Sakura after telling her the opposite of what he's feeling that surely hurt her and after leaving her alone to do their project.

He got out his cellphone and texted Hinata

Hinata, can you tell me Sakura's address?

Hinata nodded and texted back


"103" Sasuke whispered to himself while walking on the stairs of a small apartment 'How can she live in such a small place like this'

Sasuke stopped as he saw a white door with the number 103. He stood in front of it glaring at the gold signs saying 103.

He stood anxiously, doubtful of whether he's going to knock or not but things need to be done before it gets too late. After 3 minutes, he then gathered all of his strength while thinking of a mad Sakura opening the door and at once shutting the door in front of his face.

He shook his head to erase his thoughts and knocked on the wooden door.

The door opened revealing the guy with Sakura last Saturday smiling at him with his eyes closed, but as Koichi Haruno saw the Uchiha on the doorway, he opened his eyes revealing the green orbs that the Uchiha see as the same eyes that Sakura has.

Sasuke stood at the doorstep firmly not wanting to say anything to the person in front of him. He'll not admit it that he actually felt quite tensed when Koichi's smile never left his face.

"Is Haruno Sakura living here?" Sasuke finally asked

"I guess you're Sasuke Uchiha?" Koichi replied ignoring his question

Sasuke nodded

"Sakura-chan's out for a moment to buy the materials for her project"

Sasuke looked down and gulped

"Why don't you come in first? While waiting for Sakura-chan" Koichi moved to the side for Sasuke to enter

"Sure" Sasuke said trying to be cool and entered the apartment room


A/N: Chapter 9!! So, how do you guys find it? LET ME KNOW!! AND SUBMIT YOUR REVIEWS!! And here we go again, in the manga, there's a new girl that likes Sasuke (he's really a girl magnet) and the girl's name is Karin –saying calmly with eyes in flame- ..Anyways, so, this chapter is actually comedy by just looking by the reason why Sasuke got mad, and like what I said, Sasuke will not like this chapter –shakes head- and for the next chapter.. Sai would in the next chapter, but promise, I would not let Sai ruin the story, he's only a good brother for Sakura..

Further Information:

The song Sakura was humming is a song played ny Heaven's Fire but it was originally played by The All-American Rejects. It's a cool song.

Chapter 10...

"Do you like her?" Koichi Haruno asked Sasuke seriously and for Sasuke, this is not just a question and answer portion like what his friends are doing.

He's now talking to the mighty person that raised the girl that he might actually like, and this made him think for a moment, and by this time he'll surely answer that question seriously, honestly...

'Do I like her? I don't think so...'

'But more than that... I'm sure'

Sorry it's short but guys, the GO button is waiting for you...don't make it wait
