Star-Chan: Heres Chapter 3 of Happily ever after, not: Hope you enjoy reading and please comment!
I do not own Naruto. If i did, oh the things i would change. haha anyways on with the story!
Sakura woke up with the sky was rather gloomy. Sakura yawned, got up and walked into the bathroom. She brushed her teeth and combed her short pink hair leaving it flowing over her shoulders. She picked out something to wear and threw Sasuke's jacket over her clothes. When she got to school everyone was once again looking at her. Sakura didn't care what they think anymore. Sakura walked into homeroom and sat down. Ino called her name and she turned around.
"I heard all about it."
"Heard all about what?" Sakura said raising an eyebrow at her friend.
"About you and Sasuke, and what happened yesterday." Ino said softly. Everything flooded into Sakura's mind again, the girls, Sasuke's appearance, the break down.
"That was nothing." Sakura said trying to push the topic away.
"What do you mean? He is totally into you, why don't you give him a chance?"
"I have my reasons, Ino." Sakura said. Ino was about to ask Sakura why the hell won't she give a guy like Sasuke a chance, but the bell rang. Everyone was silent while the announcements were being read by the teacher. Sakura glanced over at where Sasuke usually sits, but saw that the desk was not occupied. She gave a little frown. After homeroom ended, Sakura ran up to Naruto.
"Hey Naruto, where is Sasuke?" Sakura asked.
"Oh, he's sick today, no idea how he got sick though. He seemed fine yesterday." Naruto said while walking to his locker.
"Oh, do you know where he lives?" Naruto turned around a looked at Sakura for a moment.
"Why would you want to know?" Naruto said lifting an eyebrow.
"I have his jacket you see, uh he lent it to me yesterday and I was hoping to return it."
"Oh, okay then." Naruto said still looking at Sakura strangely and scribbled down something on a piece of paper and handed it to Sakura.
"Thank you!" Sakura said and waved good bye to Naruto.
After school, Sakura went over to Sasuke's house and rang the door bell. It was answered moments later by Sasuke who was looking very pale and this usually spiked raven hair a big mess on his head. He squinted as the light shined into his eyes.
"Sakura?"
"Hey…" Was all Sakura could say while looking at Sasuke. Sasuke opened the door and welcomed Sakura in.
"I brought your homework and your jacket…"
"Thanks." Sasuke said sniffing while closing the door.
"I'm sorry, I know you got sick because you lent me your jacket and you we're only wearing a t-shirt too, in this cold weather, it's easy to get sick." Sakura said guiltily.
"Nah, it's okay. I'm not that sick anyways…" Sasuke said trying to force a smile.
"No, you look terrible did you take your medicine yet?" Sakura asked putting her backpack on the couch, taking off Sasuke jacket and handed it to him.
"Yeah I did just right now."
"Isn't anyone here to take care of you?" Sakura said looking around the huge house to find that no one else was here.
"No, they all went on a vacation or something…" Sasuke said walking up the stairs to his room, followed closely by Sakura.
"Did you eat yet?"
"No, I can't cook very good…" Sasuke said running his hand through his fairly messy hair.
"Typical…you just stay right here and I'll make you something to eat." Sakura said pointing to Sasuke's bed. Sasuke's eyes widened.
"You, would make food for a jerk like me?"
"Well, it is kind of my fault you got sick…so I'll help you get better."
"Well, thanks anyways I guess." Sasuke said crawling back into bed and turned on the TV. Sakura went downstairs to the kitchen she dung out some food and supplies and got to work. She made some simple rice balls, eggs and bowl of noodles. She put them on a tray she found lying around and brought it up to Sasuke.
"Sorry, it's the best I can do, to tell you the truth I don't cook much either." Sakura said smiling innocently.
"It's okay; I mean if it was I was to cook in this condition, I would probably put the house on fire." Sasuke said as Sakura laughed at him. Sasuke lifted the spoon and took a bite.
"How do you like it?" Sakura asked worried that she had made him sicker with her food.
"It's…it's…terrible." Sakura heard this and frowned.
"Is it really that bad?"
"Nah, I'm just playing with you, it's great!" Sasuke said eating the noodles.
"Stupid jerk." Sakura whispered beneath her breathe so Sasuke couldn't hear her. They sat in silence watching the TV until Sasuke finished.
"Well, since you're done I better get going…" Sakura said getting up from the edge of Sasuke's bed.
"It's late, will you be okay?" Sasuke looked at the clock to realize it was 8 pm.
"Yeah, I'll be fine…"
"No, wait, it's raining." Sasuke said noticing raindrops on his window.
"It's fine."
"No it's pouring out! You can't go home like that, and don't you live pretty far from here?" Sasuke said.
"Not really, but I'll be fine, don't worry…"
"No, you are to stay here tonight, if you go out there, you're going to catch a cold." Sasuke said getting up from bed and walked over to the closet to take out a bunch of blankets.
"You don't expect me to sleep in your room, with you do you?" Sakura asked Sasuke.
"Of course not, what do you take me for, come on I'm not that awful. You're sleeping in the room down the hall. Are you happy, is that far enough from me for you." Sasuke said the last part sarcastically.
"Yeah, I guess, but I can just take a cab home or something. I don't want to trouble you." Sakura said watching Sasuke exit his room and into the room she was going to sleep in.
"No, I don't want anything happening to you." Sasuke said throwing the blankets on the bed and turned around to face Sakura. "I mean it's just one night, nothing will happen. You can call your parents and tell them you went over to a friend's house."
"It's only the second day of school Sasuke, like they will believe me. Besides they aren't home."
"That makes everything even better, they wouldn't have to know."
"But, Sasuke, I only knew you for two days, why are you so nice to me?" Sakura asked as she walked over to the bed.
"Didn't I already tell you? I like you Sakura, you're not like the girls at school, you're…different, and that's what I like about you."
"Didn't I tell you I don't like you?" Sakura said trying to keep her voice from shaking. Sasuke laughed.
'So, I don't care, I like you and I want to take care of you, I don't want anything bad to happen to you. And I definitely don't care if you don't like me back. I mean if you want to be friends, then so be it. I don't want to force you to like me, that's just messed up."
"But, why are you so persistent to impress a girl that you know won't like you back?" Sakura said taking her gaze from Sasuke.
"I don't know, but I know it's the right thing to do. So try to feel like home at least." Sasuke said as he was about to walk out the door Sakura called him back.
"Do you at least have clothes for me to change into?"
"Uh, I have a pair of shorts and a long t shirt that is new if you want to wear it." Sasuke shrugged.
"I guess that will do." Sakura said lying down on the bed as Sasuke went to get her his clothes. He came back later with the clothes and gave it to Sakura who took and went into the bathroom. She undressed and went to take a nice shower. She came out of the shower, hair dripping wet and was wearing Sasuke's clothes. She walked down the hall to Sasuke's room to thank him for the clothes. She found that the door was closed. She knocked on it lightly she heard a soft "come in" and opened the door.
"Hey, you look pretty good wearing that." Sasuke said looking at Sakura grinning.
"Shut up, anyways thanks, for the clothes I mean…" Sakura said and started walking out when she heard Sasuke's voice call her name.
'Sakura, you should probably dry your hair, you're going to get sick."
"Why should I listen to you?" Sakura said annoyed.
"Fine, if you don't want to, then don't."
"Whatever." Sakura said and walked out of his room closing the door behind her. She walked over to her room and plopped down on the bed. Asking herself why didn't she just leave. But she knew the answer to that; she just refuses to believe it.
"It was about midnight, Sakura sat on the bed reading a book she had brought to school in her backpack since there was nothing else to do when she heard a knock on the door. Sakura replied "What do you want?" knowing instantly who it was since he was the only one in the house other then her.
"Who's the rude one now?" Sasuke said opening the door to see Sakura taking her eyes away from the book and looking at him.
"Well, sorry."
"I'm going to sleep now, thought I would say good night." Sasuke said leaning on the side of the door with his arms crossed across his chest.
"Uh huh, yeah good night, do you think you can come to school tomorrow?"
"Yeah, I feel better already, thanks to you." Sasuke said and smiled at Sakura who blushed a slight pink.
"Your welcome, good night Sasuke."
"Night Sakura." Sasuke said pulling himself from the door side, walked out and closed the door. Sakura yawned and looked at the time again. She put the book away in her backpack, tucked herself into bed and turned off the lamp.
"I can't believe I'm at his house…I cant believe in two days I get to know someone this well that I'm over at his house…I can't be starting to like him no way. He's a jerk, but…why is he such a nice jerk…I hate this…" Sakura thought. The clock was ticking, the rain had stopped. Sakura was not asleep; she had tried for the last hour, but no luck. She didn't know if it was because it was Sasuke's house, or if she had too much on her mind. Sakura decided to get up and go down to the kitchen to see if there was anything she could drink, that usually helps. She walked passed Sasuke's room quietly; scared she would wake the sleeping Uchiha. She walked down the stairs and into the kitchen and turned on the light. She looked in cabinets, the refrigerator, heck she even looked in the oven, but she couldn't find anything to eat. She sat down on a chair and rest her chin on her hands. She heard someone call her name.
"Sakura, what are you doing down here?" She heard the raven haired Uchiha ask her. She turned around to find Sasuke looking at her.
"I couldn't sleep, thought I should eat something that usually helps," Sakura said shrugging. "But, I couldn't find anything…don't you go grocery shopping?" Sakura asked Sasuke who shook his head. She sighed.
"Here I'll make you something," Sasuke said walking over to the counter and opened a cabinet that Sakura didn't bother checking.
"Didn't you day you can't cook?"
"Of course I can, I said I don't cook good. But I can cook. I'm always home alone, parents always gone, brother in college." Sasuke said taking out some noodles and vegetables. He searched for a pan and put it on the stove. Sakura watched this all in amazement, Sasuke took the noodles, rinsed them, and then put them in the pan and started cooking them, adding the vegetables and sauce in it a while later. After Sasuke finished her put them on and plate and put it on the table for Sakura who just stared at it.
"Here you go, not the best though." Sasuke said giving Sakura a pair of chopsticks and sat down on a chair across from Sakura. Sakura was still staring at it.
"It's not poisonous." Sasuke said noticing that Sakura was staring at it for a very long time. She blushed pink and ate the first bite. Her lips formed a smile and so did Sasuke's.
"Do you like it?"
"It's good; I can't believe you made this!" Sakura said taking another bite of the noodles.
"Yeah, well you're the only one that ate my cooking, other them me of course." Sasuke said blushing lightly that Sakura actually liked his cooking.
"Really, why don't you let other people try it, it tastes great."
"Well, I don't know…" Sasuke said.
"Ah, you don't think its 'manly' enough huh!" Sakura said teasing Sasuke.
"Yeah, sure let's go with that." Sasuke said looking away from embarrassment. Sakura finished eating her noodles quickly and put the bowl in the sink.
"Think you can sleep now?"
"Yeah, thanks Sasuke that was great." Sakura said giving Sasuke a smile before walking up the stairs followed closely by the raven haired Uchiha. They said there goodnights once more before going in there rooms, closing the door behind them. Sakura crawled into bed again, looked at the clock that read 1:55, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
