"Sakura, I think you're ready to leave the hospital," Lady Tsunade smiled.

"Ah... thank you Tsunade," Sakura replied, she got off the hospital bed, bowed to Tsunade, and walked away slowly.

"Wait Sakura!" Tsunade called, as Sakura just left the door.

Sakura came rushing back in, "Yes?"

"Is there anyone who can pick you up?" Tsunade asked.

"Umm yes... I'll call Sasuke now... Um, may I use the hospital phone?" Sakura asked.

"You may," Tsunade replied.

Sakura walked to the phone quickly and dialed Sasuke's number.

"Yo," Sasuke said.

"Hi Sasuke... It's Sakura," she said weakly.

"Sakura? How are you?" Sasuke replied anxiously.

"What?" Sakura asked. It was hard to hear, it sounded like he was out somewhere..

"SASUKE LOVE LETS GO ON THE FERRIS WHEEL OF LOVE!" a mysterious voice called from the other line.

"Sasuke, who was that?" Sakura whispered faintly.

"I'm Meili, Sasuke's GIRLFRIEND," Meili cackled.

"Oh, I'm Sakura nice to meet yo-" Sakura started.

Then the line went dead.

Sakura sighed with annoyance, "Lady Tsunade, I think I'll have to stay a bit longer. Sasuke's out with his... girlfriend," she spat out.

"That Sasuke..." Tsunade remarked.

"Wait! I think I know someone I can call. He's my cousin's best friend --- Daisuke. I'm sure he wont mind giving me a lift," she smiled brightly. Daisuke.. He was so sweet, charming and he would never stand anyone up.. Like Sasuke.

"Go ahead and use the phone," Tsunade chuckled.

"Hello Daisuke?" Sakura said, after she dialed his number.

"Hey there, who is this?" Daisuke replied, in his gentle yet firm voice.

"Sakura," she replied weakly.

"Oh Saku! How are you?" Daisuke grinned through the phone.

"Not so well honestly. I'm at the Konoha Hospital, do you think you could pick me up?"

"Um sure I guess. I don't have any plans. Sit tight, I'll be there soon," Daisuke assured her.

"Okay thanks Daisuke, bye," Sakura said, smiling.

"No probs. See ya," Daisuke laughed.


In a matter of minutes, Daisuke was here.

"Hey Saku, you don't look so well," Daisuke said, chuckling. "What'd you get yourself into this time?"

Sakura shifted her weight foot to foot, "I'll tell you on the car ride home."

Daisuke noticed her uncomfortable-ness, and dropped the subject.

He held open the hospital door for her, and they went out to his... Stretch limo!

"Woah Daisuke.." Sakura said, admiring the long stretch limo.

"I thought you'd know a guy like me, could afford fancy rides Saku," Daisuke grinned.

"Oh yeah! You're part of the famous Ichigo clan! Daisuke Ichigo!" Sakura laughed.

Daisuke joined her laughter.

"Saku, it's been a long time since we hung out, so tell me what's been happening in your life!" Daisuke smiled gently.

"Well it's been hectic alright," Sakura sighed.

"Hey, you know something? I heard my parents saying they would transfer me to your school," Daisuke exclaimed, snapping his fingers.

"Oh that's awesome!" Sakura smiled, as she gave him a hug.

Daisuke blushes over a million shades of red, "Um... Yeah... Well uh... I have something to confess Saku,"

"What?" Sakura asked, taken back.

"I kinda always liked you. Like like... You were there, when no one else was. I love you?" he whispered.

"Oh Daisuke, you are so sweet... I ... love you you too. You're here for me now, and I can rely on you," she smiled, snuggling into his chest.

"Saku..." Daisuke smiled slowly, looking down at the angel he was with.


Uh oh. What's gonna happen? Sorry for the short chapter.
