Chapter 4: Everything Happens For A Reason

It was a bright sunny, sunny morning. An oh-so-handsome raven-haired guy was sitting at the floor beside a rocking chair in front of the Uchiha mansion. His mind was full of rambling thoughts as he looked up sadly at the peaceful blue sky when someone pounded hardly at the gate.

His thoughts were destructed and he stood up to open the gate. He was then surprised when a pink-haired maiden with emerald eyes stood in front of him.

"Ohayou Sasuke-kun!" She shouted excitingly with a wide grin across her face as her best friend opened the gate.

"Why are you here? I thought you're angry with me…" He asked coldly with a deep scowl across his face.

Sakura frowned at what she heard.

"Uhhm…I'm sorry, Sasuke-kun. I…I didn't mean to say that 'I hate you' thing to you. You know, I felt really brokenhearted yesterday and when you fought with him I felt sadder. Now I understand that you just did that to defend me and besides, I'm the one who disturbed you last night to ask for help so I'm the one who must apologize to you. I'm sorry Sasuke-kun." She said sorrowfully before bowing her head down. "I'm sorry." She apologized again. "Gomenasai…" She bowed her head again.

Sasuke was annoyed by her repeated bowing. "Go inside." He commanded her coldly. But deep in his heart, he's just controlling the true feelings he has for her. He just can't resist the frown from the girl of his dreams and besides, He didn't sleep because of thinking about her last night, anyway.

"Arigatou Gozaimasu." She bowed and thanked him before going inside. Still, the sadness in her eyes can't be hidden, which the raven-haired guy had noticed.

Sasuke sat at the floor beside his grandmother's rocking chair in front of their house, followed by Sakura.

The wind gushed and blew their hair as Sasuke looked emotionally at Sakura's emerald eyes, which the maiden didn't notice.

"Where did you go last night?" He asked coldly while looking somewhere, trying to sound like he doesn't care at all. But deep inside, he really cares.

"Huh?" She asked curiously, showing that she didn't understand what he asked.

"I mean, when you left the hospital, where did you go?" He asked again, with a hint of annoyance on his handsome face. "Did you go to dobe Naruto again?" He asked, now looking directly to Sakura.

"No..." She replied honestly to him. Then, she explained what happened.

FLASHBACK

Sakura woke up at the hospital.

"Oh heck…where am I?" She asked to no one as she rubbed her emerald eyes which were still sleepy that time.

Suddenly, memories of what happened when Sasuke had a fight with Naruto flash backed in her mind and she immediately remembered everything.

She frowned heavily and her eyes wandered curiously at her surroundings.

Then, she remembered that she left the thermos still plugged at her house. She got worried because it might cause fire and burn her house!

"I'm in the hospital?! No Way." Was all she said.

She then removed the tubes connected in her wrist and went out running hastily through the door and down the stairs.

Without further ado, she ran quickly towards her house.

END OF FLASHBACK

"So…that's what happened?" He asked with a 'that-was-weird' look.

"Yeah." She answered while frowning. Her emerald orbs started to turn glassy.

Sasuke noticed that she bowed her head and stopped talking.

"Saku-chan…are you…crying?" He asked with full concern. His deep, cold voice a while ago was now turned into a soft, loving voice…like a chocolate melted in the sun. He then remembered when they were still children who used to play and cry because of the simplest things…so many things had changed since then.

She still didn't answer and continued weeping instead. Sasuke can't help but get hurt as she saw her tears flow from her eyes.

'A while ago, she was hyper-active and now she's crying. What's happening to her? Sakura isn't really like this.' He thought anxiously to his self. Unexpectedly, she bowed her head to his shoulder as she continued weeping. Then and there, he felt like he wanted the time to stop forever. But unfortunately, he doesn't have to power to do it. He understands that everything between them is just friendship and nothing more.

"Sakura-chan…" He called her name with his sad voice. She then looked at him with her head still lying in his shoulder. "Y-you want me to play my guitar for you?" He doubtfully asked, hoping that it would make her happy.

"N-no. Nothing can ease the pain I'm feeling right now." She replied honestly as she slightly closed her eyes, attempting to control herself from crying. "Don't worry about me; I know I can get through this…someday." She assured him as he anxiously looked at her.

They stay that way for several minutes before Sakura stopped weeping and finally broke the silence.

"I will go home now. I'm not feeling well." She said to him as she removed her head from his shoulder and stood up from the floor. "Thank you…Sasuke-kun." She said gratefully but still frowning before waving her right hand to him.

"O-okay." He approved sadly. "Take care…Sakura-chan." He said with full concern as he also returned the wave she gave him. His onyx eyes met her emerald ones before she turned her back and finally vanished from his sight.

"So early…" He said to his self alone as he bowed his head down in melancholy. "I hope she'll feel better resting in her house. I guess I'm disturbing her too much." He continued hurtfully. "Damn you, Sasuke!" He cursed himself angrily for falling in love with his best friend. Good thing that no one saw him doing that or else they might think that he's somewhat lunatic. He then finally went inside his house to clear his mind.

No days had passed that he didn't think about Sakura. Whatever he does, he always can't get her out of his mind. He stopped his self from visiting her for a while because he thought that she might move on easily when she's reflecting alone instead of him disturbing her; and to control his feelings for her at the same time. He said to his self that he will just wait for her to visit him instead.

…Until almost two weeks had passed. No visit or even phone calls he had received from Sakura.

Sasuke peacefully laid in his bed as he stared in the ceiling with Sakura in his mind. He looked at the clock and it said that it's already 6pm. "Darn it! I can't take this anymore!" He growled as he stood up from his bed. "I'd die if I don't see her for a few more days!" He snarled to his self as he got his jacket beside his bed. "I can't stay this way." He continued.

It's getting very cold outside, a signal that sunny days started to come to an end. He walked straightly towards Sakura's house to visit her. He started to pound the door again.

"Sakura-chan, are you there?!" He shouted as he continued to pound the door anxiously outside.

Sakura heard it immediately and recognized the voice. She then stood up weakly from her bed; even she could hardly move her legs. She then approached the door and opened it. "S-Sasuke-kun!" She called out exhaustedly with her unusually hoarse voice.

"S-sakura-chan…what happened to you?!" He asked worriedly with his eyes widened as he saw a very pallid and thin Sakura and heard her hoarse voice.

"I-I have a f-fever." She explained as she leaned her hand weakly on the door. "C-Come on, g-go inside." She requested Sasuke as she turned her back and sat on the sofa with Sasuke following her, but he didn't sat on the sofa and stood in front of her instead.

"Sakura-chan, look at yourself! You're very pale and thin!! Are you trying to kill yourself or what, huh?! I guess you're not eating your food!" He scolded her but with full concern.

Sakura didn't answer and laid herself on the sofa instead. She felt really weak to speak or answer to Sasuke's sermon to her.

Sasuke sighed heavily and went straightly to Sakura's medicine cabinet and got a thermometer. He then got a chair and sat beside the sofa where Sakura laid. He saw that she already fell asleep.

"Sakura…what's happening to you? What are you doing to yourself? You're being too depressed because of that dobe." He whispered sorrowfully to a sleeping Sakura as he gently caressed her lustrous pink hair and perspiring forehead. He then delicately raised her left arm and placed the thermometer in her underarm. "You're burning." He said anxiously before standing up from his seat.

He then went into the sink and got a basin and hot water from the thermos. He poured some cold water in it to make it warm enough and dropped a towel in it. As he went back to his seat, he noticed loads of unwashed dishes in the kitchen's sink and dirty clothes beside the washing machine. He shook his head as he passed and approached Sakura who was sleeping like a baby in the sofa.

He wiped Sakura's face with the warm towel delicately like she was a very fragile porcelain doll. He then let out a quasi-smile across his face as he noticed that she was a bit relieved in her fever.

"Oh, I almost forgot…" He uttered to his self as he remembered the thermometer and slowly pulled it from Sakura's armpit. "fo-forty?!" He blurted out as he read what the thermometer had said. "It's so high!" He exclaimed anxiously as he continued to wipe Sakura's face with a towel. 'Will I bring her to the hospital or what?' He asked his self at first but decided to observe her for a few days more, trusting his own 'home care'.

He took care of her for several hours, almost ignoring how tired he is from doing it. He even cooked porridge for her and fed her, which he wasn't used to do because he's living in a big mansion with lots of maids in it.

Suddenly, Sakura asked him something he didn't expect.

"S-sasuke-kun…" Sakura whispered weakly, but enough to be heard by Sasuke.

"Hmm?" He asked gently as he blew the broiling porridge in the spoon to make it warm enough for her to eat.

"Why are you doing this to me?" She asked curiously as she straightly looked at him.

"Huh?!" He asked, puzzled.

"I mean…Why are you so kind to me…like this?" She asked as she pointed to the spoon in Sasuke's hand directing towards her mouth.

Sasuke painfully looked down as he searched for answer.

'Maybe it's the right time to confess my love for her?' He asked his self in his mind. He then swallowed the lump forming in his throat. 'But…she just came from a tragic break up with the blond idiot. She's still noticeably depressed and obviously not ready to love again. Maybe I should just keep this and…let go?' He asked his self in second thought again.

"S-Sasuke-kun?" She called him out when she noticed that he's absent-minded.

He then snapped out of it and spoke. "Aah…o-of course, b-because y-you're my be-best friend." He stuttered, realizing how dumb his alibi was.

"Aah." She replied, followed with a grateful smile as she laid her head again on the pillow.

After an hour, he noticed that Sakura was almost falling asleep again. He looked at the antique clock on the wall and noticed that it was already 10:00pm.

"Sakura, I'm sorry but I need to go home now. My parents might be angry. Please, get well soon. I will be back tomorrow." He sadly declared as he turned his back and waved goodbye. He then locked the door inside before leaving to be sure that Sakura is safe. He really regretted leaving her like that but his parents might be worrying about him.

He straightly walked towards his house. There, his parents welcomed him.

"Where have you been? Did you go to Sakura's house again?!" Fugaku asked to his son angrily.

"Yes, Otou-san." Sasuke replied politely to his father as he entered the house.

"I told you not to go to her house again, didn't I?! That woman will bring you no good!" He stormed to his son without considering what his son feels for her. "And besides, there are still many beautiful and rich girls you could meet when you go to college next year. So if you ever like her, then stop your stupidity as early as possible!" He angrily continued.

"Otou-san, please, don't talk bad things about her like that. You didn't even know her!" He retorted back to his father.

Fugaku glared angrily at Sasuke as he walked straightly to his room to change clothes. Mikoto noticed it and talked to his husband without Sasuke knowing it.

"Fugaku-kun, please, just let your son. They're already friends since childhood and I think that Sakura is a kind and gentle girl. I believe there's nothing wrong with that as long as she's not causing trouble to our son." Mikoto gently pleaded to her husband as she tried to console him. He just nodded and didn't reply at all.

Meanwhile with Sasuke…

"Damn, I hate life." He blurted out with an annoyed face as he lay at his soft bed and read another novel again. "One-sided love, ill best friend, unsympathetic father, enrolled in a course I didn't like...my life is a total mess!" He mockingly uttered as he put down the book his reading and got Sakura's photo beside his bed instead. "Well…as they said, everything happens for a reason." He tried to cheer his self as he stared at the photo and smirked before sighing heavily again.

After sometime, he put her picture down on the table beside his bed and prayed for while. After that, he felt sleepy. "Maybe I should get some sleep tonight." He told himself as he laid his head on his pillow again. After a minute or two, he fell asleep with Sakura in his dreams.
