A/N I have posted another poll for the other possible fanfic I may write later. I've got the start done of it and I'm stuck between which I should continue with…… hmmmm…. And the old poll about pairs has been changed to 2 choices. Weeee…..

sorry it's so late, I was out most of yesterday and all this morning. XD

Why is this font so large? ….Good question… It is because Jashin hates me.

Opening her eyes, Sakura stared up into the darkness of an unfamiliar room. Pushing herself up onto her elbows, she glanced around at her surroundings.

"Where….am…I?" She whispered.

"So you are up." Sluggishly Sakura turned her face to see better the person who spoke to her.

"…I-itachi-san."

"Rest now." He ordered curtly before leaving Sakura to herself. Exhaustion swamped her and Sakura decided to follow Itachi's advice, or order. She slept again.

A/N Who's Jashin? Nevermind…

"Oi, who's this?" A foreign voice inquired. Waking up from her rest, Sakura opened her eyes and sat up. Gazing around she remembered something about Sasuke's brother. Sakura would've shrieked had she been awake more.

Leaning on the door frame was a large man. His skin took on a blueish tint but Sakura thought it was the work of the dim lighting in the room.

Itachi entered the room from another door. "Don't bother her Kisame."

The man called Kisame raised an eyebrow. "Oh? And why not?"

"Hn." Itachi grunted and returned through the door. Kisame glared at him but didn't say anything.

Swinging her legs over the edge of the couch, Sakura smiled at him. "Hello."

Kisame, surprised by her voice, directed his glare to her. "What do you want?"

Sakura blinked. "Nothing Kisame-sama."

His eyes narrowed. "Are you making fun of me?"

"Certainly not."

"S-A-K-U-R-A- - - C-H-A-N!" A loud voice yelled. "Naruto Uzimaki is HERE!"

"Shut it idiot." Sasuke ordered. Both boys came in through the door Itachi had just used, walking over to Sakura after a momentary glance at the blue man.

"How are you doing Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked her, yelling in a whisper.

"I'm better now Naruto, thank you for asking. But…."

"But..?" Naruto prompted.

"Why are you here?"

Naruto's face became slightly ashen. "D-do you….do you not want me to be….here…"

Shocked by his reaction, Sakura quickly reassured him that she was happy he was with her. Slowly color returned to his face and he was back to his old self.

What the heck? Sakura wondered.

"He demanded to see you when you didn't come to school today." Sasuke supplied.

Dumbfounded, Sakura gaped at him. "Whaa?"

"Yep Sakura-chan. You've been out for about a day I think." Naruto said putting his hands behind his head and grinning madly at her. "But now you're all better so you can leave Sasuke's house."

Sakura never stopped to be amazed. First she missed a day of school, then she realized she was stuck in Sasuke's house. What next?

"Sakura-san…." Itachi said from the doorway. "What do you feed these beasts of yours? They've been grumbling all day and I cannot figure out what to give them." Getting up, Sakura walked over to the kitchen door.

"Nothing special." Looking thoughtful, Sakura turned to the older Uchiha. "Do you have milk and ground meat or something of the like?" Itachi grunted and waved her to the refrigerator. Opening it up, Sakura took out all she would need and began to prepare the cat's meal.

Itachi regarded Sakura for some moments, watching as she beat the meat even more and mashed it with the milk. Taking his leave, he went back into the room Sakura had just been sleeping in.

"When'll they be here, Kisame?" Itachi asked.

The blue man shrugged and smiled. "Beats me."

"Brother," Sasuke began, "What are you going to do?"

Black eyes similar to his own turned down to look at Sasuke. "You may want to go check on your friend."

Paranoid, Naruto rushed into the kitchen before backing out. "Oi, Sasuke! The cats are eating Sakura-chan!"

All three looked at the blonde. Sasuke with worry, Itachi unfazed and Kisame was amused. Just as Sasuke was about to look for himself, Sakura came behind Naruto and whacked him over the head.

"You idiot! Don't go telling stories, ya hear?!"

Naruto laughed quietly and Sasuke felt like hitting Naruto himself. Just like him to rile me.

Sakura suddenly fell forward as a weight pushed her back. "Dammit." She cursed started to fall. Closing her eyes, Sakura waited to hit the floor or Naruto, but when she didn't she opened her eyes. Someone was holding her arm.

"Oi, you're heavy, yeah." The person said and dropped her. Sakura started to fall to the floor again only to be caught once more.

"Deidara-senpai, that's not nice." Said a second person behind the blonde 'Deidara' person. Sakura looked at her savior and nearly choked.

"I-itachi-san…." She mumbled as he set her upright.

"Shut it Tobi." The evil blonde ordered. Sakura punched him in the gut as he looked over his shoulder at the orange masked boy. Deidara doubled over clutching his stomach muttering evil things.

The masked boy began laughing. "Serves you right, Deidara-senpai."

Kisame joined Tobi laughing at Deidara's expense. The blonde's face burned red.

"What was that for?!" Deidara yelled. Sakura, however, wasn't paying attention to him but to the cats. Picking them up, Sakura placed them on her shoulders.

"You silly things you," She cooed, "Pushing me down only for a jerk to catch me. Silly things…"

Said jerk glared at Sakura who only smiled at him.

"We're still missing some people…" Itachi commented.

"Un. Yeah, they might be a bit late. Tobi an' me, we barely missed a big accident down the ways…"

"Really?" Kisame said with a menacing voice.

The masked boy jumped in front of Deidara. "Yeah, yeah. It was amazing, all those people were there like it was a festival or parade!" The blonde guy glared at Tobi but did nothing to the kid.

"Anyways…" Deidara said. "Do you just want to leave without them? They might be too late anyway, yeah."

Kisame grinned, showing shark like teeth in the process. "Let's go."

In only a matter of seconds the three teens could hear the sound of multiple engines running and slowly fading into the distance.

"What was that?" Naruto asked, confused beyond anything.

"My brother….and his gang the Akatsuki," Was Sasuke's gruding reply.

An awkward silence descended upon them and Sakura tried to think of ways to break it.

"Ummm…" Both boys looked up at Sakura. "What time is it?"

Sasuke looked at his watch. "Seven. Why?"

Smiling, Sakura ignored his question. "Perfect." Grabbing her bag that was by the couch, Sakura opened the door. "C'mon!"

Both boys were dragged by Sakura outside, both uncertain of what she was doing.

"Oi, Sakura-chan, where are we going?" Naruto asked the pink haired girl.

She smiled at them over her shoulder but said nothing. "I really want to show you guys something…."

"No." Sasuke said, stopping. Naruto and Sakura both stopped too. Naruto turned to look at Sasuke better as Sakura continued to look forward. "No."

"That's fine, Sasuke-kun. You don't have to come with me if you don't want to…I just really wanted to show both of you guys a….a…."

Naruto was concerned. "Sakura-chan?"

"No, never mind, it's nothing." Sakura said, still facing forward. "I…I'll be going now. I'm sorry." Walking away from them with even steps, Sakura felt a tear trickle down her cheek. At least Sasuke-kun can't see me crying now…But still…

CHA! THAT BASTARD! NEXT TIME I'LL RIP HIM TO SHREDS BEFORE I APPOLOGIZE!

As Sakura walked away, she broke out in a run until she disappeared completely from the two boy's sight.

Naruto turned to Sasuke. "You bastard, why'd you go and do that, hunh?"

"Hn."

"Y-you…" Naruto was feeling very angry. "Sakura-chan only wanted to show you something. You could've gone and seen it!"

"Hn. Why should I waste my time, hunh?"

Naruto glared at his friend. "Is it really wasting time when it's someone you care about?" The blonde left the Ice Cube with his hands shoved into his pockets.

Sasuke glared at Naruto's back as it receded. "So what?" He mumbled. "Who says I care about her?" Walking back inside, Sasuke lays down on his bed. Instantly his mind is plagued with thoughts of what he had done wrong.

Dammit! Sasuke screamed as the image of Sakura's back played in his mind again. He felt compelled to go do something, he didn't know what. However Sasuke ignored what that other part was telling him and instead fell asleep.

A/N I am so falling behind. I only have a few more chapters prepared! Ah, no….well…I'm in the middle of the Neji scene so that's okay….I think I'll go backwards with the polls, starting with Neji and the someone else…I am not sure if it's Sasuke or Gaara or Naruto or…..or…..Lee….no

Not Lee.
