Chapter Four: Arigatou

Sakura sluggishly looked over the clock that was placed next to her relaxing bed. It read 5:30 a.m. She unwrapped herself from her cocoon position and stretched her arms, letting a yawn escape from her lips.

"Today is going to be bothersome…"

With half lighted eyes, Sakura grabbed her towel and went to her restroom to take a shower.

After she got out she put her school uniform on, brushed her short pink hair, grabbed a bag that was in a chair and left to Itachi's room.

"Itachi," Sakura knocked lightly. She knew the Uchiha was up already.

"Hn?"

"Can I come in?"

Just after she finished her question in an instant Itachi was before her, looking down at her questioningly.

Sakura smiled brightly and handed him the plastic bag she was carrying.

"Here, this is for you."

Itachi observed as the pink haired girl raised a bag and handed it to him. Then she smiled. A fake smile, he noted.

Itachi remembered the evil glint that he had seen in her eyes yesterday. He gingerly grabbed it from her petite hands.

He noticed she was waiting for him to open it, so he did. After all, what type of maniacally thing can she do? Anyways, if anything were to happened he can protect himself. He was, after all, Uchiha Itachi.

With one last glance at the girl he opened the bag to reveal… a white collar shirt? With a pair of black pants and a tie that matched?

"What is this?" he questioned the pinkette in front of him as he raised the tie to his eye level.

Her smile grew bigger if possible. "Your uniform, of course."

Itachi raised an elegant eyebrow. "Uniform?"

Sakura nodded. "Yup! You will be attending school with me."

Itachi's eyebrows furrowed. "Do you mean as an academy?"

Sakura remembered that in the video game they attended Ninja Academy, so she nodded.

"But they will teach you Math, Science, English, History… stuff like that."

Itachi returned the bag to her. "I will not attend school."

Sakura's smile disappeared. "Sorry, but you have to. You don't have a choice," she gave the bag back.

"And why is that? I can protect myself excellently. Besides, I am twenty-one."

Sakura's eyebrows rose in surprise. "Really? You look younger than what you really are."

"I do eat healthy."

"Hey! If you are talking about all the instant ramen I bought it was for when I get lazy!" she retorted.

Itachi smirked. "Oh, and that is, everyday?"

Sakura glared up at the Uchiha. "Shut it! You're still going to school with me. So hurry up and go put your uniform on!"

Itachi's smirk was still in place as Sakura stomped out of his eyesight.

It took Itachi just minutes to get ready, and of course he couldn't complain because according to Sakura cops would come if they saw him here. And he didn't want any trouble, not that he couldn't get out of it anyway. But of course it was problematic…

Both left the house really early in the morning. There would be only few cars passing by.

Sakura had suggested to go early, so there wouldn't be any fan girls. Of course Itachi agreed on that one.

Their walk to school was silent which no one was bothered by it. Soon after they had reached their destination; Nitsua High School.

"Wait here. I need to go register you." Sakura said as they entered a hallway that displayed art work from the students that attended the school.

"Don't you need a legal guardian for that?"

Sakura shook her head while searching for some documents in her backpack.

"You're eighteen… Well, according to your documents, and that makes you an adult. So it won't be a problem."

Itachi hn-ed as Sakura left to the Main Office.

~Minutes Later~

"Ok! We are all ready to go! Here is your schedule. I have a class or two with you but the rest I don't. So you better know how to handle yourself." Sakura finished, while pointing a finger at the Uchiha in front of her.

"I do."

"Well let's go see where your classes are and then we'll eat breakfast. Sounds good to you?"

"Indeed."

~Now Eating Breakfast~

Sakura tried to cover her mouth with her hand but failed to as her laughter escaped her.

"BUAHAHAHAHA! I can't believe she would do that!"

Itachi just kept glaring at her ever since… that incident.

A shiver went down his spine as he remembered what had happened and what was to come in the near future.

~Few Moments Ago~

Sakura had showed Itachi all his classes except for the last one.

"Hm… let me see… Oh! You have Hadari Sensei. I've heard of her. They say she's a real bitch. But I dunno… Her class is this one-"

She was cut off as said room's door opened revealing a sickly skinny woman, who almost seemed anorexic, and was few inches taller than Sakura. Her skin was pale and she wore red blood lipstick. She definitely was wearing fake eyelashes and probably her orange hair was fake too. She wore it in a high bun letting some of it escape while she had some of it circle her face. And let's not talk about her mustache! Oh but her outfit! She looked like she got out of a 70's show!

"Oh. Excuse me." She nearly pushed Sakura out of her way.

"Some manners she has! Oh kami! But I just have to do this!"

"Hadari sensei, this is Uchiha Itachi. He is going to attend one of your classes." The woman stopped. "New student?" She turned around and saw the man standing next to the girl that was on her way a few seconds ago.

Her eyes widened. "Oh, sorry for not seeing you there." She walked up to him and stretched her hand out to him.

Itachi took it like if it weren't nothing, but mentally he was horrified. He will have to scrub that hand for a while with lots of soap, water and disinfectants.

"It's a pleasure to meet you! I hope you like my class. I already even like you! You will get to sit near my desk for already being my favorite!"

Itachi just stared at her. "No need to be so courteous. I will sit where I have to. And please don't say such things." He meant it.

Of course she took it the wrong way. "Oh! You don't need to be so shy around me! Anyways, I will see you later! I have somewhere to go to."

She then leaned close to him and whispered, "If you need anything and I mean it, I will give it to you…" She then winked at him and left.

Itachi was horror-struck.

And Sakura couldn't hold her laughter.

~Present Time~

"Ok! Ok! I'm sorry! It's just that who would of thought a teacher would do that!"

Itachi sighed. He wasn't liking this day already. Weren't Hadari's actions illegal anyway?

Sakura kept looking at the clock that was high up in the wall. She was in her History class right now, which bored her to death. She already wanted to go to her third period class which she had with Itachi.

"Come on! Just a few more seconds…"

"Haruno. Would you like to answer the question?"

"Huh?"

The teacher sighed. "You always space out in my class. We will need to have a serious talk. I asked that if-" He was cut off by the bell.

Sakura ran to the door in a flash. Next thing you know she was in her next class already sitting in her seat at the back of the room.

It took the other students to arrive a while. It always does. She opened her text book and looked at the assignment at the board. If she started right now she would finish early and be able to read her video games magazine.

The bell rang again announcing that everyone was suppose to be in their class already.

"Listen up class, we have a new student. Please present yourself and tell us a little about yourself as well."

Sakura looked up from her work and smirked. It was Itachi.

"My name is Uchiha Itachi. I barely moved here."

Silence…

"Any sports you like? You do look like you work out…" Iwao sensei slash coach said while imaging having his team in first in everything thanks to the student next to him.

Itachi nodded. "I actually do martial arts."

"Not interested in joining any sports?"

"No."

Disappointment showed up in his face. "Well that's enough, go sit anywhere you want." He left grumbling to himself about how possible all stars don't like joining sports.

Itachi had seen Sakura the moment he entered the classroom, after all, who could actually miss the color pink? He also noticed that no one was sitting near her or would talk to her, so he decided to sit next to her. Besides it would help keep fan girls away.

He sat next to her and nodded.

"Uchiha-san," she said also with a nod.

People noticed this and already started rumors, but made sure that the Uchiha wouldn't listen. Some already thought of him as dangerous if angered, girls wanted to look nice in front of him so he would talk to them. Too bad for them the Uchiha hears well, after all he was a ninja or more likely is.

Class went fast for both Itachi and Sakura. They just needed to do work from their text book which was easy for both of them. After the bell rang they both headed to lunch.

"So have you made friends?" Sakura inquired as she sat down on a table.

Itachi sat in front of her. "I don't need friends."

Sakura lowered the spoon from her mouth. "What do you mean by that? Everyone needs friends."

Itachi quirked his eyebrow. "Then why don't I see you with anyone else?"

"Well, I'm different. No one likes me or understands me… I'm just unique I guess… Also people already know who I am. You're the new student. Everyone wants to find out about you; specially the girls."

"Hn. I could care less."

Sakura chuckled. "I don't think they will leave you alone though…" And with that said they enjoyed lunch peacefully if you don't count all the stares and glares they would get.

O/_\O

The rest of the day went smoothly, in exception of Itachi's last period class which was with Hadari sensei, and both him and Sakura walked home while the strong sun's rays lighted them.

"Do you have homework?"

"No. You?"

"Hells yeah! It totally sucks! Hey! Now that I remembered, thanks to you I have to stay tomorrow after school!"

Itachi looked at her with the corner of his eyes. "How is this my fault?"

"Remember that day we met? You had mentioned that you knew my name because you saw it on some documents. Well, those documents were my homework! You took it out of my backpack! My sensei thought that I didn't do it and that I was being lazy and stuff like that."

"I merely tried to find information about you."

"It's fine anyways, what has been done is done. Anyways sorry I can't cook anything for you today. I need to go to work."

Itachi nodded. "No problem at all. Besides I can cook and there are instant ramen if I get lazy."

Sakura glared. "Oh? At least I don't have a sensei to worry about. Next thing you know she's going to try to rape you."

"Like if I'll allow her to even touch me."

"Hai hai. Well see you tomorrow morning. I'm already late."

"Hn."

~Next Day~

"Uchiha! Let's go already!" Sakura yelled while grabbing her apartment keys. Both decided to go a little later this time. Of course, Itachi suggested this. He certainly didn't want to find a certain person.

"You don't have to yell Haruno. I can perfectly hear you well." He closed the door behind him and waited until Sakura locked it.

"Gosh! Sorry! I just wanted to give you this." She held up a key that had a weasel keychain attached to it.

Itachi looked between her and the key. "And what is this for?"

"It's another key for my apartment. You know, since you are staying here and I won't be coming home with you today."

"Ah."

"Ok then. Let's go!"

Once again both of them walked to school, but this time Sakura kept talking about how she wished to kill her sensei for making her stay after school.

The morning went fast and that is what brings us to Itachi's and Sakura's Calculus class.

"I. Do. Not. Get. This." Sakura complained.

Itachi watched her amusedly as the pink haired girl would get frustrated with herself, all the while as she bit her lower lip. "I thought this was you best subject." Itachi deadpanned.

"It is, but I get confused sometimes!" She pulled her hair with both of her hands rolled up in fists.

"If that were true, I wouldn't want to see your grades in your other classes."

"What was that Uchiha?"

Itachi was about to threatened her for talking to him like that but the bell rang that instant.

He glared up at the ceiling.

"Let's go eat lunch."

X/_\X

"So what did you get for lunch Uchiha-san?"

He spoke with his monotone voice. "A piece of bread with cheese and tomato sauce. I think it has meat as well."

"Oh, that's just a pizza." Sakura declared.

"Pizza then."

"I got a hamburger. Ya don't have things like these where you come from right?"

"It's a Shinobi world. We don't own some things that exist in this world either."

"Oh… right. Anyways, I was thinking tha-" Sakura was cut off by another voice.

"Hello! You're Uchiha Itachi, right? My name is Masayuki Fujita! But you can call me Yuki-chan!" the girl said as she stood with two of her friends besides Itachi's seat.

"Or fajita…" Sakura thought to herself.

"This is Kiyomi Ito and Sachiko Sunaga. We've been wanting to meet you! Well specially me…" The Yuki girl said while twirling one of her long golden locks of hair in her finger.

Said Yuki girl noticed that Itachi wasn't even turning her way. She then looked the way Itachi's gaze was. He was looking at Sakura. She frowned.

"Itachi-kun. Just because you are new it doesn't mean that you won't have any friends. I know you can get some real easily. It's not necessary to hang out with the dullest, loneliest, and emotionless person in the school! You can hang out with me! I can even go home with you to study. You know have fun…" She licked her lips.

Itachi the whole time kept looking at Sakura for any sign of emotion, which he didn't see. That was until she looked up from her hamburger and smiled. "You can go with them Uchiha-san. I wouldn't mind." There was hurt in her eyes.

"Of course you wouldn't! Itachi-kun wouldn't even want to be hanging out with you. I can offer him way more than you! Besides I'm experienced. Unlike you, you don't even talk to anyone, not like they want you to…"

"She's right. Itachi wouldn't even be here with me if he hadn't gotten out of the TV. Kami! Why did I get attached to him? I knew he was trouble… Now he's going to leave me and I will be alone again… just like it has to be and was suppose to be…"

"Come on Itachi-kun. Let's leave this slut alone!" She tried to pull Itachi's arm which she totally failed to do.

He then finally looked up from Sakura's form and glared a deadly glare that almost revealed his sharingan.

"You're the one offering yourself to me and you don't consider yourself a slut? Sakura wouldn't even offer herself. Those who do are just desperate. And by the looks of it, you are. I wouldn't even like to look your way. And Sakura is the best company I can have here. For your information she's interesting to talk to, she certain isn't alone, and everyone that is human has emotions. Now, how many times have you been used? Certainly many; by how your body looks. Your boobs will be hanging by next year, unlike Sakura's…" He then smirked remembering looking at Sakura in her wet shirt that had clung to her like a second layer of skin.

Masayuki gasped. "B-but I…" she then directed a glare to Sakura.

"This is all your fault!" And she left with her two friends following behind her.

Sakura was shocked. She never thought the Uchiha was going to stand up for her. She would usually stay quite and let them think what ever they wanted.

"Sakura."

Sakura blinked. "Hai?"

"Call me Itachi. You don't have to be so formal here in school."

"Oh… alright…"

He stared at her. "Why didn't you say anything to them?"

Sakura met his eyes. "I… I don't know… I usually don't tell them anything…"

Silence…

"I- Itachi?"

"Hn?"

"Arigatou," She smiled at him. A real smile.

"Anytime Sakura." He half smiled. A real one as well, which was odd for him to do so.

The bell rang and it was time for everyone to go to their next class.

"See you at night Itachi." She waved him goodbye as she left to her next class.

Sakura stretched her arms as she got out of the school building. The sun was half way down by now releasing orange and pinkish colors. "Gah! Thank Kami that's over! Now I can head home! Every morning before I leave, I will double check my backpack if I'm carrying my homewo-" she stopped talking to herself as she noticed a tall figure leaning on the school's rusty tall fence.

"Itachi? "She squinted her green eyes not sure if it was the person she thought it was.

"Hn."

She smiled and ran towards him. "What are you doing here?"

"I came to pick you up. There are dangerous people around that may hurt y-"

"I know how to take care of myself Itachi. If I could bet, I would say even more than you."

She smiled as he smirked remembering he had said the same thing three nights ago.

"Fine Haruno. Sorry for caring."

Her smile widened. "Arigatou, Itachi."

"For what?" he inquired.

"For caring, arigatou."

~Sakura's Apartment~

Sakura had gone directly to sleep after they had arrived home. She was supposedly going to be eating her ramen and be playing her videogame but she didn't. She left her warm ramen in her small kitchen table and her videogame on, in her living room.

Itachi didn't know what else to do so he decided to play, it wouldn't hurt anyone, correct?

As he played more the more experienced he got. Soon he had passed the whole game.

"Hn. Beat that Sakura."

He decided to show it off later when Sakura would wake up, so he left the game system on and left to sleep.

The whole room was dark in exception of the TV's light. Itachi had forgotten to placed Sakura's ramen in the refrigerator, and that is how it happened.

The ramen's vapory odor was bouncing off the walls. It was weird that such a little ramen would have such a strong odor and affect. It headed to the living room where Itachi was a few moments ago.

The vapor touched the flat surface of the television leaving it dim and moist.

The only thing you could hear in the apartment was Sakura's snoring until a loud hyperbole voice was heard saying, "Datte-bayo! There's ramen here!"
