I know, this update took longer than other chapters, but I had to because my computer won't work… I just realized that it's so frustrating for author if you have many ideas and simply can't write it on the computer just because your computer broke… Super frustrating
Oh, and you need to be warned because in some part, Sakura will swear… a lot…

Sakura's pov
Stupid, fucking fangirls.
Stupid club activity.
Fucking stupid Ino.
Fucking stupid chestnut.
And most of all, Go to hell, Itachi Uchiha.
After I was officially announced that I'm stupid Student Council's secretary, I walked down the hallway with Itachi to my left and chestnut to my right. When I was walking down the hallway, all the girls, and including some young female teachers, were glaring at me like I killed their lover or something.
Okay, so it was true, in a sense, but still glaring at me like that… It was bothering me… I guess…
Hey, you're reaction would be the same if you had all the female population in school, glaring at you because two hottest guys in the school was walking beside you. Besides, it's not only the students; it was including some of the female teachers. You know all I could say about my situation right now?
I'm fucked.
--
Ignoring all the glares that female population was sending me, we finally reached the Student Council room. Before Itachi even had a chance to show his gentleman-like-nature to me by opening the door for me, I kicked the door open, earning a chuckle from Itachi and chestnut rolling his eyes.
When I went inside, I was greeted by 10 surprised eyes, looking at me like. I saw Naruto, Gaara, Sasori-san, and some guy with long, blond hair with bangs covering his right eye, and some other dude with silver hair and violet eyes.
"Sakura-chan!"
I faced toward where the sound came from and saw Naruto, grinning and waving. I smiled, and walked toward the couch he was currently sitting on with Gaara. Gaara was glaring at me. I think I'm really loved by people in this school, especially this red hair sitting to my right and other 'female' population, don't you think?
"What's up, Naruto?"
"Nothing, just super bored, since Sasori-sempai does all the work that's need to be done. What are you doing here anyways?"
"Long story short: Itachi blackmailed me and threatened me so here I am. From now on, call me 'Miss Sakura'."
"Why would I call you that?"
"Because I'm your secretary?"
"You are?! But that's impossible; Itachi-sempai will never let a girl join the club. He thinks girls are way too-"
"Stupid? Annoying? Fucked up? Well, as much as I hate to admit, I really don't blame him because all the girls in this school are really fucked up. They were glaring at me the whole time I was coming here!"
Naruto looked at me in amazement mixed with horror. Gaara, who was looking away a moment ago, actually started to pay attention to the conversation.
"Don't tell me you walked with Itachi-sempai on your way here."
"Please, if I didn't, how would I find where the hell is Student Council? I mean, this school is freaking huge."
They looked at each other for a moment with some worry in Naruto's eyes. Okay, what the hell is going on?
"Sakura-chan, do you know what you just did?"
"Yeah, I just let Itachi threaten me and blackmail me without even putting up a fight, and I joined this Student Council as a secretary. I don't know how secretary works, Naruto."
"That's not the problem," he stood up from his couch and looked at me, his hands on my shoulder. "You walked side to side with the Uchiha Itachi. Normal girls will kill themselves for a chance for like that. I'm serious."
"Because you walked side to side by him," Gaara cut in, "all the girls will have unpleasant feelings towards you."
"I thought you hated me."
"Well," he shrugged, "that's not the subject here right now, and Naruto told me to give you a chance."
"Oh, please, come at me if you want, Gaara. I don't mind a bit."
"That's not the issue here, Sakura-chan, " Naruto looked at me with serious expression and I started to get a little confused what the hell they were talking about. It's not big deal, right?
"Like Gaara said, girls will now have an unpleasant feeling toward you and that's not a good thing."
"Unpleasant? Please, I had loads of people who felt more than just unpleasant feelings toward me. I'm used to it."
"Did those people hire gangs and street fighters to make you stay in the hospital forever? I don't think so."
Well, for your information, they didn't need to hire any gangs or street fighters because they are fucking criminals themselves! They could beat me up if they wanted to without hiring anyone, not that they could. But they didn't need to know that.
"No. Why, are those girls going to hire someone like yakuza boss and order them to kill me? Nice one, Gaara."
"Sakura-chan," turning my gaze to Naruto, I looked at him straight into eyes, my emerald eyes boring into sapphire ones. "One time, there was a girl who 'accidentally' walked side by side with Itachi-sempai. She went home that day and wasn't in the school for 3 months. There's a rumor that one fangirl sent some mafia to her and broke every bone in her body. She never came back to school."
Okay, now that was a bit too much. Walk side by side with that bastard and you go straight to hospital?
"When I was freshman," Gaara spoke, "I heard a rumor that one girl mysteriously disappeared, only to be found in the school storage, her skin burned, from what we believe, lighter. She also had scratches, bruises and at least 5 broken bones. She couldn't speak after that because of shock. The culprit was caught, and when police asked her the motive, she said that that girl was stalking my Itachi-kun."
What the hell was wrong with this school? Well, it's not like I'm afraid of those psycho fangirls, but still, don't you think it's a bit too much, especially if this kind of dangerous situation and threat is happening because of that bastard, Uchiha Itachi?
"That's not all," Naruto spoke, grabbing my attention.
"There's more?"
"A lot more. We can go on for the whole entire day. Anyway, that's what happens, so stay away from him."
"Itachi gave me a ride to school in my first day of school and nothing happened except some bitches trying to threaten me."
Now the looks on their faces were priceless. Even Gaara, who didn't change his emotion at anything, looked really surprised. Seriously, what's wrong with giving someone a ride? It's not like one ride was worth million dollars… right?
"Itachi-sempai gave you… a ride to school?"
"Yeah… is there something wrong?"
"Uh-huh, something is very wrong," he looked at me with serious expression again. "Listen, Sakrua-chan. Itachi-sempai doesn't talk to girls, at all. He ask them question when it is strictly necessary. Do you get it? Unless it was a direct order from teacher or he felt that he needed to ask them a question, which never happens," never happens, huh? Talk about cold-hearted bastard. "He doesn't even spare a glance at them. What did you do, Sakrua?"
"What the hell are you talking-"
"Oi, Sakrua!"
I turned around and saw chestnut waving at me and gesturing me to come. He was grinning like an idiot, a boy with blond hair and silver hair him next to him with Itachi behind. Sasori-san was beside Itachi with smile on his face.
"Come over here, I'll introduce them to you."
"Sure, chestnut."
"Hey, call me Tobi-san; after all I'm your sempai, right?"
"I'll think about it when you actually act like a sempai. How about that?"
"Why you little-"
"Sakrua-chan, you know Tobi-sempai?"
I turned around to face Naruto again, and was greeted by another priceless look on their faces. Geez, what's the big deal?
"Yeah, why?"
"He doesn't kill you by calling him like that?"
"Nope, even if he wants to, I don't think he can."
"Tobi-sempai is captain of kendo club in our school. He is the main reason why we win all the championship across the nation and kept winning for 3 years. He's usually pretty cool and funny sempai, except that he is very harsh when it comes to respecting him and calling him. If you don't call him Tobi-san or Tobi-sempai, you're going to get your ass kicked. Otherwise he's cool, though."
Heh, chestnut was that great? Who would have thought that my first victim of my fist was that great? And, what the hell is wrong with him, making everyone calling him Tobi-san or Tobi-sempai? People do change, huh?
"Oi, Sakrua! Hurry up!"
"Fine, fine… Naruto, I'll talk to you later. See you later, Gaara."
"Aaa."
"Oh yeah, Sakrua-chan, Neji will be there at 9 o'clock today at your house, it is okay, right?"
"Sure. He actually accepted?"
"Yep, you owe me girl."
"Hai, hai. I'll talk to you guys later, neh?"
"Go already, Tobi-sempai is about to kill you if you waste any second chatting with us."
"Okay, boss."
I didn't see Naruto rolling his eyes and Gaara looking at me curiously as I headed toward chest- I mean- Tobi-sempai. I looked at chest- I mean- Tobi-sempai and smirked.
"What's so amusing, Sakura?"
"Nothing. Just amused that you are captain of kendo club in this school, and also the main reason why this school kept winning streak all 3 years. Seriously, who knew?"
"After our little fight, my mom was really scared because I didn't explain the situation properly. She was afraid that I'll get beat up when I go to high school so she rolled me into kendo academy. It turns out I'm pretty good at it."
"Ahem," Itachi coughed, demanding our attention. I turned my gaze to him and he was wearing that cold, stoic expression.
"Sakrua, this is Deidara," he said pointing at the blond kid. I smiled but he scoffed and looked away. So gentleman-like, isn't he? "And this is Hidan. They are both older than you, and I think that you guys will see each other frequently in future, since you will be working here as secretary." I rolled my eyes and others looked like they were surprised at my behavior, their eyes wide. Okay, I just rolled my eyes, nothing big, hello?
"Did you just roll your fucking eyes at Itachi? You have to be the first fucking one to do that fuck to him, especially when you are a whore."
A whore? Did that silver haired bastard call me a fucking whore?
"What did you just say?"
"I said, 'did you just roll your fucking eyes at Itachi? You have to be the first fucking one to do that fuck to him, especially when you are a whore.' God, are you a fucking deaf, too? How are you going to be a fucking secretary when you don't evey-"
"Let me tell you something nice, you motherfucker." He was about to say something but I cut him off. He is not getting away with this, I don't give a shit if he's a fucking sempai!
" I personally do not want to be secretary, and as much as I want to shove my fist in your pitiful face and just beat you into fucking bloody pulp, because you are my senior no matter what the fuck happens, so I'm going to be very nice and warn you first. If you call me a whore again, you will regret that you were even born in this fucking world. Oh and by the way, I don't see any problem about rolling my fucking eyes at Itachi, 'cause I don't give a shit if he hates me or not. You treat me like I'm one of those brainless fangirl that Itachi has, I swear, I'll just rip that pretty mouth of yours, do I make myself clear? "
After that, some awkward silence followed. Hidan, was it? He looked at me with surprised expression, Deidara the same, Sasori-sempai a little surprised but smiling like nothing happened, Itachi just amused, and chestnut just shaking his head.
"You're probably the first fucking one to swear more than I do."
"Well, you're the first fucking one to ever call me a whore and get away with no broken bones at all. Count yourself lucky, you fucking bastard."
"Wha- hey you-"
"Hidan-sempai, principal wants to see you."
"Fuck… this is not over yet, Pinky."
"Pink… hey you!"
Ah, that fucking bastard, he actually has a nerve to call me a pinky? Let's see if you can call me Pinky next time, you fucker! Oh yeah, you'll have a lot to learn if you call me a fucking whore or Pinky again, jackass.
"Sarkua, you're secretary?" ah, a familiar voice, do you know how glad it is to know that you at least know someone in this… mess? "So you'll be seeing me everyday? That's really nice, don't you think?"
"Not really, Sasori-san," I spoke immediately at his hurt face, "It's that I don't know what secretary usually does and…you know, it's just all sudden and stuff…I am glad that I'll see you everyday."
"Thank goodness, I thought for a moment that you didn't want to see me anymore."
Of course not, I want to see you everday!
"Oh, don't worry about what you need to do. There will be some calls to either me or Itachi so you'll have to answer that, and you need to organize things that talks about school and usual things. Oh and when some girls come and say that they want to meet anyone of us, don't hesitate and just sent them back."
"Eh, it's pretty easy. But what kind of calls are you receiving?"
"It differs, but it's all usually about school festival and all the orders that we did… sometimes our parents. Don't worry, it's not weird, fan calls."
"Oh. If it was, then it would be really troublesome."
"Don't worry-"
"Sakura," Itachi cut off Sasori and I could tell he was slightly annoyed that I ignored him altogether. I was beginning to forget his existence; seriously, he just has to remind me. "I'll show you around the room."
"What do you mean, is there more to see than this?"
"Of course, this is just lounge. If you follow me, I'll show you around."
What the hell, I thought this was just a Student Council, and there is more than one room? Ah, stupid fucking rich bastards.
I was about to follow him when a bell rang, indicating that the lunch was over. I growled. I forgot to eat because I was so caught up with reunion with Tobi-sempai and all the secretary bullshit!
"Oh, I have to go… so see you later, Itachi, Sasori-san, and other sempai."
As I hurried down the hallway, I was wondering what the hell the next period was. Was it P.E? Oh yea, it was. Fuck, I didn't get changed!
I'm so screwed.

Deidara's pov
That was really... scary in a sense.
She swore in front of Itachi and rolled her eyes at him... is this new kind of fangirl approach? I've never seen a girl swearing as much as Hidan and not crying out Itachi's name for more than 1 second.
"Itachi, I needed to talk to you about the festival..."
"Okay, let's go to my office."
With Sasori and Itachi gone, I looked at Tobi for a moment and remebered something that surprised me just a minute ago.
"Tobi, why did you let her call you chestnut? You're usually sensitive about that."
"Oh, that..." He smiled and looked at the door, smile never leaving his face.
"She's different, don't you think?"
"Yeah, she is different, alot, but that doesn't answer my question."
"Well... she's really special that way."
W-what? Did he just say that she was special?
"What did you say?"
He looked at me, smiling and said that phrase again.
"She's very special to me."

Neji's pov
I am at the right place… right? If this address is wrong one or whatever, I swear I am going to kill Naruto tomorrow… if that was possible. Maybe Naruto forgot to tell her that I was coming? Maybe she doesn't need my help after all? Maybe… uhh! Fuck, forget it! I'll just go in, something will work out… right?
Let me explain what's going on. I'm currently in front of Sakura's apartment door, deciding whether I should ring the bell or not. Why? You can never trust that blond baka completely when it comes to delivering message because he tends to forget what the message was, who he was supposed to deliver it to, etc. So there is a high possibility that I am in the wrong person's house or I thought it was 8 o'clock but she heard it was 9 o'clock.…
Ding Dong
Did I just… did I just ring the bell without myself even realizing it? Oh… that is just… screw up situation… Okay, fine, I did it. No more turning back now, it's too late for that… Uh, my runners aren't tied! Fuck.
"Neji?"
As I looked up, I could feel myself blushing and having a major nose bleed right now… I'm so amazed with myself that I didn't scream like a girl and ruin my reputation…
Sakura looked like she just came out from a long shower, for she had nothing but a towel on. Her hair was still damp from the shower she took, and her towel reached only to her mid-thigh, giving me a pleasure of seeing her long, creamy legs. To add it up, her skin looked like a pearl because of the light above with exception of her face. Her face was pink due to the heat of water. Even Naruto didn't get to see this...I'm so lucky.
"I thought you were going to come at 9 o'clock."
"Ah… well," I said as I stood up. I have to snap out of this, right now. "Naruto told me that it was 8 o'clock. I knew I shouldn't have trusted that baka."
When I said that, she laughed a little and motioned me to come inside. "Come on, I don't want to be in the hallway too long when I'm wearing nothing but a towel."
And just when I thought I was beginning to forget about it…

Sakura's pov
"You… are kidding me, right?"
"Nope."
"Seriously, this is all you have?"
"Yep."
"Do you even know how to make anything?"
"Um…peanut butter sandwich?"
"…"
"Hehe…"
I thought he was told that I'm a bad cooker and my refrigerator is filled with 3-minute cooking things, but maybe he didn't think that there was almost nothing except 3-minute things… what, I really don't know how to make anything! Give me a break, will ya?
"Sakura… do you know how to make a sandwich with lettuce, tomato, ham, mayonnaise, and whatever else, not a sandwich with only peanut butter?"
"Um… I never tried it, but how hard can it be?"
"So you never tried it…"
"Neji, what's wrong?"
"… Sakura, are you a stupid?"
"What do you mea-"
"Did you even go to kitchen in your entire life? What the hell is wrong with you, not even making a simple sandwich? Do you think peanut butter sandwich is a real sandwich? What the hell is wrong with you?! Even Naruto wasn't this bad when I was teaching him how to cook!! He could at least make a freaking sandwich!!"
By now, Neji was covered with fire and his face looked like a monster, and I was shivering because he somehow reminded me of Yuki when I didn't manage to land a hit on her in training. Not that scary, but really close. Him and Yuki will make a good friend, I'm telling you. Oh, it looks like he calmed down a little.
"Haa… Neji?"
"Do you have anything that is not instant food beside juice and peanut butter?"
"Um… 2 apples, couple slices of hams, mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, butter, lettuce, and 1 jar of pickles."
"Why do you have ingredients for sandwich when you don't even know how to make it?"
"That's the ingredients for sandwich? I didn't know…"
Uh-ohh… bad move. I feel a bad aura coming from him…I just dug my own grave… hah, lucky me.
"How can you not know what ingredients are used for a freaking sandwich? Sandwich is easiest food you can make, and you don't even know what the ingredients are! Have you even used a knife entire life?"
"HIIII"
Whoa… now his body is covered with fire and he has a face of demon + devil + monster! This guy is super scary!!
"Well, since you're so idiotic that you don't even know how to make a sandwich, I'll teach you how to make the simplest food to make, and a food I could make when I was 8 years old."
"That's harsh, Neji."
"Please, I didn't know there was a 15 year-old girl who didn't know how to make a freaking sandw-"
"Okay, I get it. So now what?"
"Get all the ingredients out. I'm going to teach you how to make it by showing it to you first. Write down notes, because you need to make a sandwich for your lunch tomorrow."
"What? But, that's impossible-"
"Make it possible then. Now, I'm going to show you, okay?"
"Yes, sir."
Finished, he started getting the ingredients out and started cutting tomatoes, lettuce in incredible speed that it was very hard to follow. Than, again in super ridiculous speed, he started to spread butter and put them in the toaster for 1 minute. While waiting, he took out a bowl and in there, put the lettuce and started to mix them with mayo. When the bread was done, he put the bread on a plate. He put the lettuce first, then tomatoes, and then 5 slices of hams. After putting them in an order, he cut them in half and gave the plate to me.
"W-What?"
"Eat it and memorize the taste in your head, so you can make a sandwich like this tomorrow."
"Okay…"
I took a bite, and, wow, that was the best damn food I've ever tasted in my whole life. Hell, it was even better than the burger I ate yesterday and this is just made out of plain ingredients in my refrigerator. I looked up at Neji with disbelieving face and he… looked a little confused?
"I don't know how you picked the high-quality tomatoes, lettuce and other things, when you don't even know how to make a simple sandwich. So, how does it taste?"
"Are you kidding man? This thing rocks!! What the hell did you do?"
"I made a sandwich."
"You'll be a good housewife; I can bet you that, Neji."
"You know, telling a guy that you'll make a good housewife isn't a compliment. It's more of an insult."
I shrugged. "Guess what, I can't make this for my lunch tomorrow. How do you expect me to make this? That's like telling Naruto to stop eating ramen."
"How did you know Naruto was obsessive with ramen?"
"He told me." I shrugged. "No biggie. But dude, you can't expect me to make this kind of sandwich by tomorrow."
"And why is that?"
"I don't know how to handle knife."
Well, not for this purpose, anyways. My knife skill is for a little more… life-death situation. But he doesn't need to know this, of course not.
He put his hand on his forehead and closed his eyes. He shook his head a little and muttered someting. I only caught him saying 'impossible' and '5 years-old'.
"You're really hopeless, you know that?"
"Yes, I'm completely aware of that fact."
"Whatever," he started to head for, what I call, 'knife holder' that was actually used for a different purpose what a normal people use, and motioned me to come closer. I came close, and he gave the knife to me, motioning me to cut the lettuce that was in front of me right now.
"Neji, I told you-"
"Just try cutting it. Unless you're stupid, you'll be able to cut it, since you're 15 years-old already."
"Fine."
I took the knife and held the lettuce. When I started cutting it, a warm, big hands came from behind and took a grip on my hands. Being not used to the contact, I blushed and looked behind, only to face Neji's firm chest.
"What are you-"
"You're griping the knife in a worst way possible."
"Thanks, but seriously you could've just shown to me, you know."
"Just relax, Sakura."
I turned back, relaxing my grip and let Neji do what he wanted to do. He moved my fingers, in what I believe, right position. He gave me a light squeeze, motioning me to continue. I started cutting the knife, all the while blushing furiously. It actually was more comfortable than before.
"See, you did it." He whispered those words into my right ear, making my face turn ridiculously red.
"T-Thanks."
"Now you know how to hold a knife properly, I suggest you cut those tomatoes."
He moved away and I couldn't help but miss that warm hand on my cold ones. Wait, what the hell am I saying?
Neji passed me a tomato and I started cutting it. I was almost halfway there when I cut my finger and drew blood. Without me knowing, I guess Neji was paying attention to me the whole time because he up to me immediately.
"You okay?"
"Oh, it's nothing, just a simple scratch."
"Here, let me see that."
"What are you-"
I was cut off when Neji started to lick my fingers, cleaning the wound from what I believe. Neji's eyes were focused on my finger, and I couldn't help but to blush furiously. What can I do, I never had a chance to get a contact with any guys until today! I'm amateur when it comes to contact, and now here he was, licking my finger. What do you want me to do?
"Neji, it's okay, I think it's not a big deal." Thank goodness my voice didn't stutter, because that would've been super embarrassing.
Either he didn't hear me or he ignored me, for he didn't make any motion to stop. When he was done, he looked up and smirked.
"You're cherry red, Sakura. Suits your name just fine."
"S-Shut up!"
I took my finger away from him almost too forcefully. He smirked again and started to head out for the door.
"I'm expecting the sandwich to be done by tomorrow, Sakura. I'm looking forward to it."
With that, he took off. I stared at the door for about 10 seconds, still blushing, before I started to scream like a maniac. How dare he just say that my name is just fine? How dare he walk without any broken bones when he made me blush? I'm going to fucking kill that bastard!! But his hands were really warm... Ah, what the fuck am I thinking?
Sure, I'll make a worst sandwich ever and make you sick for the rest of your life, Neji.
Please look forward to it.
--
If you're wondering, Sakura is only blushing because she just had a major contact with a guy, and yes, that was a big deal for her. So no, it's not like she fell for Neji or anything.
I hope you enjoyed, and please, please review!!
