But, the things wont show up right on here, so just review and ask for the pics if you would like them, id be happy to give them to you. The link that is.

DISCLAMIER- I do not own Naruto

What are you doing?

Sakura sat on the side of the road, looking at the rocks and imperfections on it as she waited for Sasuke. She hadn't been there for long, she had just gotten off the phone with Sasuke, telling him exactly where she was.

The longer you wait, the more of a chance she wont take you back.

Instead of taking in the threat she looked up at the sky, the rain falling down towards her with grace and speed. The drops almost looked like spiked glass falling from the gray clouds above. Poetic for the pathetically sad day that was blessed upon her, and oh how ungrateful she was for that blessing.

She looked back on the ground, smiling slightly. But strangely, she wasn't happy at all. She wanted escape, and that's what she was searching for when she called Sasuke.

Ino shall be your only escape. Go to her. She is waiting for you. She will make you happy. Her inside whispered as if she was bribing poison. The voice was hissing and harsh off of the anger.

But Sakura didn't want to go to Ino, not yet. She wanted peace, wanted something besides the drama. She didn't want to go through the steps of making up with Ino, not yet, she wasn't ready. It was too much work, she preferred to relax.

Sakura sighed, "Maybe I should send her a text. Tell her I will talk soon, but not yet." She mumbled, compromising and planning with herself, "If I do that, she won't think I'm just dropping her and I'd have more time."

But before she could even complete her thought, Sakura heard the bass of music of someone's car. She looked up and saw Sasuke's Jeep.

Sasuke style was simple. He didn't like too many colors, and to be honest he was more of a black and white kind of clothing person. Instead of just a T, he preferred a nice button up, plain white, some jeans, usually solid black, and just some black and white Air Force shoes. Even though that was his favorite outfit, he switched up his style of course, but just the colors. He didn't stray from the button up and slacks or jeans.

His style, of course, went well with his Jeep. A nice, plain and simple Startech. It still had the sporty look even though it wasn't the jeep that everyone thinks of, the one that went off road and ventured passed anything that was in the way. Still, it was a Jeep all the same. All black, tinted back seat windows, dull gray rims, and a partial steel front. His seat's were leather, black carpet inside, and smooth black leather and polished wood controls.

Sasuke never talked much about his Jeep. He never seemed really excited to have it when his parents surprised him with it. But when Sakura visited the day after he got it, to see what it looked like, his parents laughed and smiled to themselves, boasting about how they must have done a good job if even Sasuke was so excited with it. Sakura thought they must have know Sasuke better than her and she let it go.

The beat that was bumping at the bass of his Jeep was familiar. Sakura thought about it hard as she stood up and waited for Sasuke to get out and come around to her. She heard the truck door open and saw Sasuke coming around with one hand in his pocket, the other swinging smoothly as he graced Sakura with a small smile of greeting.

"Cant stop partying by Weezer, really?" Sakura asked, it finally dawning on her.

Sasuke stopped in front of Sakura, smiling more widely, "You know how I like to party." Then he lifted both of his arms up and stepped the distance that was between them, hugging Sakura closely.

Sakura hugged him closely also before stepping back, rolling her eyes, "And how you are with girls. Yeah. I know."

Sasuke shook his head, putting one hand behind his neck and rubbing it sheepishly, a small smile on his face that looked like he had just been caught in the cookie jar, "Not as of late though Sakura. Haven't you noticed?"

Sakura nodded, crossing her arms with a smile, "Yeah, actually I have. Which means you must be crushing on someone. Who is it?"

Sasuke looked at her for a moment, not saying a word before turning around and going to the drivers side of the car, "Sorry sweet heart, but I'm not crushing on no one."

Sakura watched him suspiciously, following his lead and heading for the passenger door, opening it before starting to speak, "Seriously? I figured I known you better than that."

Sasuke put on his seatbelt, changing the gear into drive before looking over at her with a small smile, "Exactly."

Sakura put her seatbelt on also, frowning slightly as she done so, "What do you mean?"

But he just shook his head, pulling off down the road.

At Sasuke's House

They pulled up at Sasuke's place. Both of them hadn't spoken during the car ride, not very much, but they didn't need to speak, it was a comfortable silence.

Sakura walked behind Sasuke as he unlocked the door and entered his home. He held the door for Sakura and shut it as she came all the way through, passed him. Sakura looked around the quiet home, "Your mom is out?"

Sasuke nodded, walking straight for the stairs, "Yeah, with my dad. Off on some date I think."

Sakura followed, "Oh, what about Itachi?"

Sasuke slightly smiled, "That stupid older brother of mine is probably with some girl. The latest one is Thoa."

Not to his room.

But Sakura paid no attention, listening to Sasuke's humming as she walked up the steps. When she finally reached the final one she followed Sasuke to his room, which was to the left.

The room was familiar as a result of her coming here multiple times. Sasuke's room was huge, his parent's and brothers were even bigger. His bed was simple and low to the ground and sat in the middle of his room. An all white, almost clothy like a couch, material supported all around with a mattress that was as wide as a queen at the center. His sheets were black with matching black, but duller, pillows. His carpet was also black, a bit furrier and softer than normal carpet. His furniture was matching black and white wood, and his wall were solid black. At the bottom right corner of his room was a couch that was facing his wall where his flat screen hung. Between the couch and tv was a small, black, glass table. A remote sat on it, and also his fan remote sat there also.

He tossed his keys on his dresser and slipped off his shoes as he sat on the bed, "Sorry it's a bit messy in here."

Sakura looked around, not noticing anything that was extremely out of place, unlike her room that had socks and clothing everywhere.

Sasuke continued to hum as he took of his shoes, untying them patiently.

Sakura undid her shoes also, "What song are you humming?"

Sasuke looked up in surprise, before smiling slightly, "The Scientist by Coldplay."

Sakura nodded, placing her shoes by the wall and sitting at her same spot, "Oh. I've never heard of it."

"No body said it was easy, it's such a shame for us to part. No body said it was easy, no one ever said it will be this hard. I'll take you back to the start." Sasuke sang smoothly, then looked Sakura with disbelief as she continued to shake her head, "Are you serious? That's a good song. Not like it was on the radio, but everyone should know of it."

He shook his head as he continued to hum it, closing his eyes as he did so. Then he opened his eyes, the dark orbs straining as he tried to explain, "The best part is the acoustics guitar solo. When he's just strumming the keys and singing a howl. But that's his pain that he's singing. Or at least that's the stories characters' pain."

Sakura just looked at him, raising an eyebrow.

In returned Sasuke chuckled, standing up and putting his shoes in his closet, "Ah jeeze Sakura, if only you understood."

Sakura watched him, "Understood what?"

Sasuke just shook his head though, closing his closet door then standing there, looking at her. It was almost like a stare before he sighed and walked back towards his bed.

Sakura brows buried together in confusion. She stood up and walked over to him, sitting next to him, not very close, two whole hands apart, "What has been up with you lately?"

Sasuke just shook his head with a smile, looking at her, "Why do you ask?"

"Because. Earlier today," Sakura started, turning to look at her lap, "It was awkward. Then you just left."

Sasuke looked ahead, answering low, "You know why I was acting like that."

"But," Sakura began, but struggled for words. And after awhile, it was just silence.

"But what Sakura." Sasuke pressed.

Sakura looked up and looked over at Sasuke, only to see him looking the complete opposite direction, staring out of his window, "But…That was an accident. I thought we were over it."

Sasuke chuckled softly, "It was only yesterday."

Sakura just sighed, looking back down, "I don't know."

The music started to play with a soft piano with a man singing. Sakura looked up, surprised, turning her head in every which direction because of the surround sound Sasuke had. Then she looked at Sasuke, seeing that he was looking at her, amused, with a remote in his hand, "This is the song. The Scientist." He said.

Sakura smiled, looking ahead as she listened, "I like it."

"Yeah, me too." Sasuke said, smiling happily, "Sakura." He continued, calling her name softly.

It made Sakura's stomach tingle a bit to her name being called in that way, "Yeah…"

But then there was silence. And after a moment, Sakura looked over in curiosity.

Sasuke was looking down, deep in thought.

"Sasuke?"

Sasuke blinked, then looked up at her suddenly. He looked a bit lost, but in a flash he corrected him and gave her a smile, "Tell me what happened with you, Ino, and Naruto."

Sakura watched him a bit, before frowning, "No. Tell me what's wrong with you."

That caught him off guard a bit. He blinked, taken back, then quickly looked away, standing up, "There's nothing wrong with me.

Sakura looked up at him, frowning some more, "There is to"

Sasuke just shook his head with a straining smile, walking towards his dresser and opening up a drawer as he was looking for something. Or pretending to look for something.

Sakura stood up and walked up to him, standing right behind him and looking at him through the mirror, "Why won't you tell me?"

Sasuke became mute, ignoring Sakura.

Sakura placed her hand on his shoulder and suddenly he froze. Then all became silent, nothing but the song playing in the background.

xXx

Ino walked down the steps, opening the door without much enthusiasm only to be surprised to have a gray and white kitten in her face.

"Mew."

Ino stared for a moment, all quiet but the rain falling, then a ear piercing squeal, "Oh my god, aren't you the cutest thing ever!"

Naruto head poked out from behind the kitten he was holding up with one hand, raising an eyebrow, "Hello to you too Ino?"

But she paid to mind as she made baby noises at the kitten. Naruto chuckled, "Well, this is Kenji. Kenji, this miss is Ino."

After a moment, Ino looked up at Naruto and smiled at him, a true smile that was actually happy, "What's this lil guy doing over here?"

Naruto smiled, "Well, he's going to be living at Sakura's while I take care of him. You and Sasuke can help also, but yeah. Of course I haven't given him to her yet because of what's going on. I was suppose to give him to her today."

Ino nodded, frowning slightly as the subjected grazed on Sakura.

Naruto noticed and frowned, "She hasn't called you yet?"

Ino shook her head and Ino saw Naruto's anger flare slightly just before he sighed, "Well, I talked to her. She should be calling soon Ino, don't you worry."

But Ino just shook her head again, stepping aside to let Naruto in, "I don't even think I want her to call me anymore."

Naruto walked over to the living room and placed Kenji on the ground, and a small ball. But Kenji just laid on his stomach, wobbling on his legs before falling and rolling to his back. Naruto laughed at the sight, poking at Kenji's stomach, teasing him. Then he stood and looked at Ino, frowning, "Don't be like that. It won't take her long. I'm sure she's head over heels for you, she's just nervous. She doesn't like admitting her mistakes."

Ino sighed, "I've been waiting all day."

Naruto smiled slightly, "Two hours?"

Ino laughed a bit, rolling her eyes, "Whatever. Just. If she couldn't call me right after and say she didn't mean it, that she wants me back, I don't think I want to be with her."

"Don't be like that. Just give her a bit more time." Naruto pressed, frowning and walking towards Ino.

But Ino crossed her arms, watching Naruto as he came to her, "She should be able to say she wants to be with me right off the bat Naruto. It shouldn't take so long. If she is questioning or thinking about it that hard, then maybe I was wrong about her."

Naruto stopped in front of Ino, but more to the side, leaning against her wall as he spoke, "Well.. It's like. You know how you don't want anyone to know? You're a bit insecure. Well. That's how Sakura is right now. She's scared of you right now. Rejection and so on."

Ino looked at him with a expression that showed how far fetch that seemed to her, "I don't know."

"Listen. I bet you that's what it is. She knows she's screwed up. Just give her times to grab the courage and speak to you again."

Ino watched Kenji as he pounced on the ball, only to do a summersault and land on his feet again looking the other direction of the ball. He blinked, looking around a bit confused before mewing and walking towards the couch.

"Let Sakura go through the steps, I bet you she'll call you within the hour or the next."

Ino smiled slightly, watching the kitten struggle to get on the couch before giving up. He spotted the ball again, then ran towards it, pouncing, "Alright."

Naruto grinned, his fist up to his chest with a determined nod, "Great. Now, I have to go get some food for Kenji, could you watch him for me?"

Ino walked over towards Kenji, "Yea sure." Then speaking more baby-ish, "Aren't you so handsome."

Naruto chuckled before heading towards the door, calling "I'll be right back."

xXx (Sasuke's POV)

Sasuke froze, staring at his drawer as he felt the hand on his shoulder, "You can tell me anything," He heard Sakura whisper to him, "I tell you things all the time Sasuke, it's alright."

He shook his head, closing his eyes.

I need to get a hold on myself. He thought to himself helplessly.

Turning around, the movement making Sakura's hand fall from his shoulders, he smiled at her, "Thanks, really, for caring. But seriously, this is about you right now."

He studied carefully as Sakura processed what he said. He waited patiently, hoping that she would let it go.

"If I tell you about what happen, will you tell me?" Sakura asked softly, trying to compromise.

Sasuke stomach wouldn't stop turning. The compromise was sweet, but he couldn't do it. He needed to control himself. Plastering on a straining smile, struggling to keep eye contact, he mumbled a yes.

The smile that danced across Sakura's lips made it harder to keep the lie Sasuke was giving out. But he did, for the sake of himself and Sakura.

"Well…Me and Ino broke up."

Sasuke blinked, then frowned at the sudden information that was handed to him. He walked to his bed and sat down, trying to contain the words that wanted to escape so badly. 'For good?'. But he couldn't get to excited, or look happy about the fact. He needed to play it off, "What? How come?"

The words felt like it spat out of his mouth to him, as if it were to forceful and harsh even as he said it softly. Sakura walked over and sat on the bed, as she replied troubled, taking no notice to what Sasuke thought, "We had a fight. Well. First, she wanted to know what happened between me and you yesterday to make us act awkward when you came over earlier." Sakura sighed, "She asked if you knew, like that was the reason or something, and I told her yes. She thought I told you."

"You didn't though. I guessed." Sasuke spoke, thinking out loud.

"Yeah, I know." Sakura said nodding, "But I wouldn't tell her that because I was pissed she is always worried about such a thing. Then she slapped me."

"Wait, what?" Sasuke said, frowning deeply. The thought angered him, even if it was from Ino, he felt the need to drive over to her and yell.

"Ah, because I laughed in her face when she was ranting…" Sakura continued, embarrassed and looking at the floor now.

"Mm" Sasuke grunted out, his stomach not quiet agreeing with the excuse.

"When she tried to do it again, I told her to get out and for the sake of me, since we are not together anymore, don't come back." Sakura mumbled, "Then I told her to have a nice hike and slammed the door."

Sasuke stared ahead, sighing, "Well, what about Naruto?'

Sakura frowned, "I guess Ino called him or something because he came over and fussed at me. Said I need to own up and stop acting like a child, basically. Said that I shouldn't have laughed in her face, that it's her decision about not wanting to say anything so I should understand and not get so angry about it."

He wanted to laugh at what she said. It sounded just like Naruto to say all those things, just like last night when Naruto fussed him agreed though, it was her decision. But, he couldn't help that he didn't like the fact that Ino was holding Sakura to herself.

He sighed.

"Yeah, no big deal. So what about you?" Sakura pressed.

He smiled, looking down and shaking his head. He never planned on telling his side of the story. How the fact that he liked Sakura, but couldn't have her.

Why.

Because she belonged to Ino.

xXx (Regular POV)

Sakura watched as Sasuke smiled and looked down, shaking his head, "Nothing Sakura."

Sakura frowned at that, still watching him, "You said you'd tell me."

Sasuke's smiled softly in apology, "I'd tell you if I had something to say, but I don't."

Sakura crossed her arms, looking away from him, "That's bull shit."

"Sorry." Sasuke sighed out.

They sat in silence.

Sasuke was the first to move as they sat there, mute. He stood up and stood in front of Sakura, grabbing her hand and slightly tugging at it. Sakura looked up at him and saw his sad face, so decided not to struggle with him and instead obey his tugging. Once she stood Sasuke continued to tug, and Sakura obeyed and took steps forward, closing the gap that was between them. She looked at his chest, not his eyes, as she gotten closer. Soon, arms wrapped around her waist, and she was suddenly pressed close against Sasuke's tone body. She heard him whisper as her body slowly molded comfortably into him, "I'm sorry. Really. Do you forgive me?"

Sakura couldn't help but smiling softly, wrapping her arms around him as she whispered, "Yes Sasuke, of course I forgive you."

"Thank you."

They held each other for awhile. Sakura didn't mind, his body heat was comfortable. But Sakura suddenly felt a bit worried. Whatever Sasuke wasn't telling her, he was taking it hard. It was difficult to break Sasuke's out of his cool, collected self, even in the most stickiest situations. He was always the one that kept up his calm composure. Today, how he strained to smile and his pauses between his answers, that was something Sakura has only seen rarely.

"Sasuke, what is it that's bugging you so much?" Sakura asked gently, rubbing his back softly and lovingly.

But Sakura just felt Sasuke shake his head, sighing slightly and holding her tighter. Sakura knew he would be pulling away soon. She didn't want him to, not yet, "You can tell me anything. You know that." Sakura continued to whisper, holding him tightly also, "You know I won't judge, and nothing will change between us."

Sasuke continued to shake his head. Then, he breathed in her scent. She didn't quiet know how she knew that that's what he was doing, and not signing that time. But, she knew. It was, instinct?

Suddenly, he pulled away. Sakura looked up at him and saw the same straining smile,. He winked at her, an action that took much effort and Sakura took notice, and he said, his smooth voice a bit shakey, "No need to worry about me alright. I'm perfectly fine."

He turned away from her, his arms leaving her, as he headed walk towards the couch. She saw as he turned that his face completely fell from the façade. She knew Sasuke didn't think she noticed, but she did.

xXx

Ino picked up the kitten, rubbing her nose against his, "Come on Kenji, let's go upstairs and check my phone."

"Mew." Replied the cat in agreement, his wide eyes never breaking the eye contact. Ino smiled at him, holding carefully as she continued to talk to the kitten.

"My…uh…girlfriend drains me of my energy," Ino said, and smiled slightly at the fact that she was able to get out 'girlfriend', even if it was to just a kitten, that was an accomplishment, "Well, I mean ex. You will be living with her soon. You'll love her. Under that toughness, she's actually really sweet." Ino continued, scratching behind the kitten's ear, "You have to keep her in line though. And make sure that she calls me when she needs to, because obviously she does not have a sense of good timing." She laughed softly at her own joke.

Finally, reaching her room, she grabbed her phone and pressed the up button to see if she had any missed alerts. She frowned when she didn't have not a thing.

"Mew." Kenji called.

"You're right. Why am I being discouraged. She'll come around." Ino said softly, smiling at Kenji as if he was the one that needed convincing. Ino walked out of her room, with her phone and Kenji, and stepped down the steps carefully. Once she was finally at the bottom, she hummed softly to herself and the kitten. The song she was humming was strange, she hadn't heard it in awhile, but it popped in her head at the moment. It was always a good song. (1)

"Maybe, she needs motivation?" She wondered out loud, placing Kenji on the floor and going over to sit on the couch. She watched as the kitten pounced on his ball, "Maybe that will make her see that I I'm not furious or anything, and actually want her to talk to me."

"Mew." Replied Kenji.

"I think it's a good idea too," Ino nodded, "But would Naruto approve?"

That cat turned and looked at her, his emerald eyes reminded her too much of Sakura. Then he turned back around, flicking his tail.

"You're right, what does it matter, as long as it gets the job done." Ino grinned at Kenji, picking up her phone and typing in Sakura's number, "She will be relieved." Ino mumbled to herself now, smiling happily, "She will be so happy that I'm not so mad at her and I want her to talk to me. I bet she will stop worrying and everything."

She didn't realize that she was talking more about herself more than Sakura, but Ino was happy of her plan all the same.

She pressed in the buttons and pressed send. She stood up with a smile and tossed the phone on the couch where she was sitting as she walked over to play with Kenji.

The phone laid there, the message still on it's screen.

Sakura. Please talk to me.

xXx

Sasuke sat on his couch and reached for his remote, but Sakura grabbed his hand before he could, walking around the couch and standing in front of him, "Sasuke, what is it."

Sasuke looked up at her, and Sakura noticed something weird laid there, but she couldn't figure out what, "Sakura, I'm fine."

Sakura shook her head, but instead of doing it in frustration because of the fact that Sasuke was causing just a big circle over and over again, she did it lovingly, still standing before him, "No. You're not. You keep giving me your small smiles, yeah, but you think I don't notice that you are struggling to keep it up there? Or the fact you have to pause for everything you say, a bigger pause at some points."

Sasuke looked towards the right, pulling his hand away carefully, "Sakura, I think you may be looking way too much into it."

Sakura just smiled, "No, I think I haven't even put the proper enough effort in figuring out what's wrong. You're my best friend. I've known you since we were five. Seriously Sasuke, me and Naruto know you inside out, no matter how mysterious you try to be."

Sasuke chuckled, looking back up at Sakura then taking her hand and pulling her down on top of him.

Sakura fell to his lap. She didn't try to get up, but actually she tired to get comfortable, trying not to put all her weight on him, fearing she might be too heavy.

"Sakura, I could lift you over my head if I wanted to," Sasuke whispered, wrapping his arms around Sakura's waist as she sat forward, looking at the wall.

Sakura's cheeks burned with a blush, closing her eyes as she responded, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Sasuke just laughed, "She says she knows me inside out, but she forgot I knew her inside out too."

Sakura shook her head, smiling despite the embarrassment, "Shut up."

"Mm. Make me." Sasuke said softly, leaning forward so his chest pressed against Sakura's back, taking a deep breath and relaxing as he did so.

Sakura leaned her back against him, feeling comfortable, even a bit tired, as she sat there, "You don't want that."

"Sakura, you don't know what I want." Sasuke answered boredly."

Sakura shook her head in agreement, "You're right. I don't. You should tell me Sasuke."

But all Sasuke's response was the shaking of his head. He closed his eyes and leaned back, bringing Sakura with him.

"Please." Sakura begged softly.

Sasuke took in a deep breath, chuckling softly but staying mute to her

"Why are you laughing?" Sakura asked.

"Because when I'm with you, I feel like such a giddy little school girl, cuz your just sooo cool." Sasuke said, dripping with sarcasm as he teased.

Sakura rolled her eyes, smiling, "Gay."

"Your face." Sasuke answered smoothly and quietly, his eyelids dropping.

Sakura laughed, but fell silent. They sat there in silence, yet again, but not minding. Sasuke held Sakura tightly, his arms never loosening their grips.

"You don't know what you do to me." Sasuke mumbled quietly.

Sakura looked back at him, and seeing that his eyes were closed, she decided to let it go.

"I'm so comfortable with you." Sakura whispered.

"Hmm." Sasuke replied, his eyes closed as he breathed evenly, "What do you mean."

Sakura shrugged, shifting to get comfortable, "Like, we could do anything, and I will always feel so comfortable with you. So safe. Even when we kissed yesterday, I felt comfortable, not nervous at all…I stopped because I realized I was wrong. And here it is the next day after that, and people would think it would be awkward, but it isn't. We are completely comfortable. And…" Sakura paused.

Sasuke squeezed her once, breathing out softly, "And what Sakura?"

Sakura smiled slightly, answering quietly, "I like being in your arms."

Sasuke smiled also, Sakura could hear it in his voice as he spoke, "Mm'yeah? Well, I like having you in my arms. A lot. It's always the best part of my life along with other things."

"Other things." Sakura asked sadly.

"Yeah, like fruity pebbles. But nothing competes with you sweet heart." Sasuke reassured, squeezing her once.

Sakura laughed softly, "And you know…"

Sasuke pressed softly once Sakura didn't start immediately, "No, I don't. Enlighten me."

"I like being taken care of sometimes too." Sakura mumbled, hardly audible, but Sasuke heard.

"Of course, people always want that." Sasuke nodded.

"You too?" Sakura asked, almost child like, as if she were talking to some adult.

Sasuke chuckled, "Yes pinky, me too."

Sakura smiled, "That's good…I'll take care of you."

Sasuke was silent for a moment, before continuing slowly and quietly, the words coming out with a bit of a struggle, "I know. But not too much. I'll take care of you much, much more."

"Why?" Sakura asked, closing her eyes finally.

"Because, taking care of you makes me happy. I enjoy it." Sasuke mumbled.

"That is strange." Sakura said, mostly to herself.

"Not exactly. That's-" But Sasuke cut himself off, hesitating.

"What?" Sakura urged.

"Nothing pinky." Sasuke responded nervously, dismissing the issue.

"What were you going to say?"

Sasuke smiled sadly, "Nothing."

Sakura frowned slightly, but let it go.(2), "Sasuke you're like my brother." Sakura continued.

Sasuke sighed at that, "Yeah Sakura, I know."

"But…You're something more." Sakura continued, thinking out loud.

Sasuke raised an eyebrow, "Is that so?"

"Yeah." Sakura said nodding, "You are something much more complicated than that."

"You going to explain?" Sasuke urged.

"I would. But I can't. I can't explain it." Sakura said, eyebrows coming together as she spoke, her eyes still closed.

They sat in silence again. Sakura sat the with her eyes closed for so long that she was almost sleep and she figured Sasuke had fallen asleep way before her. Then he heard him whisper.

"I love you."

Sakura's heart skipped a beat, hard. As if she missed a step going down the stairs. She smiled childishly, almost like Naruto, as she felt the warmth spread through her body, "Yeah Sasuke. I loved you too."

Then she felt warm lips press against the back of her neck once, a kiss, "Good night sweet heart." He mumbled, already falling into a deep sleep.

Sakura smiled slightly, "Good afternoon. It's only like 6."

Sasuke just grumbled in response, then she heard him breathing evenly.

A few minutes later she felt her phone vibrate. She slid her phone out of her pocket and read the text she received.

Sakura. Please talk to me.

Sakura read it with a slight smile. It was from Ino. Unlike herself, Ino always seemed to have perfect timing. Sakura shifted carefully, looking back at Sasuke to see if he was really sleep. She smiled lovingly as she watched his sleeping face. Then, she moved his arms away from her carefully before standing up and quietly moving away from him. She went towards his bed where he had his book bag there. Pulling at a pen and some paper, she wrote carefully a note and placed it quietly on the black, glass table right in front of the couch. As she did so, she stopped in front of Sasuke and watched him again. Then, she bent down and kissed him softly on cheek, "Thank You." She whispered before she was out the door.

The note was scribbled on the paper on the table, laying there and waiting for Sasuke. The sun was setting, dropping lazily, and even in his dark room, it looked bright with pink and orange life. Dust danced at the rays of the sun around the note, falling ever so slowly, waiting to settle again.

If I ever needed to be taken care of, Sasuke, I would always come to you. Thank you for everything today.

Love, Sakura.

…

Later that night, Sasuke would wake up alone, with Sakura empty from his arms. His heart would ping slightly in disappoint and pain. He'd see the letter, and read it three times over, before smiling sadly at it and placing it safely in an empty drawer.

(1)- Irony, She was humming The Scientist. Which you should listen to, btw, to get the feel of that chapter, because i was writting with that playing the whole way. I like to do ironic things, because i feel as if at points and times when you start to hum randomly a song, someone close to you is probably humming or listening to it. Idk. Its a comforting thought.

(2)- He was going to say, "That's love." :)

Ah poor Sasuke. This chapter, as you can see, was more on Sakura and Sasuke realationship. It was necessary, at least I think so, for the chapters to come. I know some die hard fans probably didn't find this ALL that great, but again fans, necessary.

Would anyone want me to explain more in depth about Sasuke and Sakura? Just in case someone didn't get it, just review and I will explain to you. The reason i'm doing that is because in this chapter i was suppose to explain it completely, and if you didnt get it, then i would love to help with it.

The next chapters will be more of Ino and Sakura, dont worry. :) Hoped you like it fans.

Shycadet loves. Out.
