" Come Together"

Chapter 5 " This Is Halloween"

Today was October, 31st, also known as Halloween, also known as Sakura's favorite holiday. Everyone was at school in their first period class waiting for the bell to ring. Sasuke entered the classroom andlooked around and saw his favorite pink haired girl sitting in her seat, looking out the window. He smirked to himself as he casually walked to his seat.

" Hey." Sasuke said to Sakura as he sat down on his seat.

" Good mourning." Sakura told him in a soft yet sad tone of voice which Sasuke took noticed.

" What's wrong Sakura? Today is Halloween and everyone is usually happy about today." Sasuke asked then Sakura turned to him and looked into his eyes and sighed.

" Well don't get me wrong, I love Halloween, it's my favorite holiday but today after this class is over, I have to go to the doctors for my once a month check up. So today has already been ruined for me." Sakura said with disappointment in her voice.

" Well that does suck... why don't you just do something after your check up?" Sasuke asked.

" Can't because the drugs they give me to help with my body make me sick so I always have to stay at home and rest after every visit."

" Hn." Sasuke responded. He didn't know what else to say, he felt bad that she couldn't celebrate her favorite holiday but also it seemed like her doctor visits weren't all that fun. He had to think of something or do something to make her in a better mood.

" Hey Sakura, why don't I take you to the doctors? I'm passing all my classes so it's not going to hurt me missing a day then afterwards we could just hang out at your place."

" Really? Well... you don't have to it's going to be very boring for you because you have to wait in the waiting room for like 3 hours so you don't have to go." Sakura said. Inside she would had loved for him to go with her but she knew wanting him to be there would be selfish.

" That's okay, I can do homework or something while I wait." Sasuke said then he continued to speak. " Just think of it as your Halloween present okay?"

Sakura thought for a minute then agreed to him, both being very happy on the inside.

" Okay but after class can I use your phone to call Sai? I need to tell him that he doesn't have to take me now." Sakura asked so he nodded to her question. Then bell finally rung and the class started.

When class was over Sakura and Sasuke both walked out together but Sakura stopped when she saw Sai waiting for her at the door. He was wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap to disguise himself so no one would recongize him, but Sakura knew it was him. She smiled at him and walked up to him with Sasuke following her.

" What's up ugly? Are you ready to go?" Sai asked as the three of them stood out in the hallway.

" Yeah well Sai do you think Sasuke can come with us?" Sakura asked as she saw Sai who was looking at her through his sunglasses take a glance at Sasuke, then back to her.

" Sure, we can go hit on nurses while waiting." Sai chuckled as the three of them started walking down the hallway.

" Sai you play boy!" Sakura yelled out as she tried to chase him out of them school but he was too fast for her.

" Well Sasuke, are you ready for a day at the doctors?" Sakura said with a smile and he nodded as they walked out of the school and met up with Sai at his car.

During lunchtime, everyone sat at their usual spots but they all seemed to noticed Sasuke and Sakura were missing.

" Hey where are Sasuke and Sakura?" Hinata asked before taking a bite out of her sandwich.

" Well Sai had to take Sakurato the doctors today so that's why she isn't here but I'm not sure about teme." Naruto said while stirring his ramen cup.

" I saw Sakura and Sasuke in class this mourning but after class when I walked out of the room I did noticed Sakura and Sasuke walking down the hallway with some guy with a baseball cap on It seemed like they were walking towards the school's entrance." Ino said.

" The guy in the baseball hat was probably Sai, so maybe Sasuke went with them to the doctors?" Naruto asked out loud.

" Yeah he wasn't there last period so that probably explains it." Neji said.

" Well with that mystery solved here is the next question. What are we all going to do tonight since it's Halloween?" Ino asked.

" I got an idea! Since it's Sakura's first halloween let's do something special like get dressed up and go to a club or go to a scary house." Hinata sudjested.

" That's a pretty good idea honey but the only problem is that since she's at the doctor's today, she probably can't do much when she leaves." Naruto explained with a sad look on his face.

" What do you mean?" Asked Shikamaru.

" Well once a month, Sakura has to go to the hosptial for her check up and they usually give her shots and take her blood and make her drink nasty stuff for test results so whenever she leaves, she is usually out of it and gets sick for the rest of the day. But man Halloween is her favorite holiday so we should do something for her. Oh I know! How about we throw her a surprise Halloween party!" Naruto yelled out so everyone at the table could hear him.

" That's a great idea! So while they are at the hosptial, we can go to your apartment afterschool and get everything set up." Ino said with excited. She was always the one who could never say no when it came to parties.

" Do you think that will be enough time Naruto?" Asked Neji.

" Well I think it should be. So this is what we should do..." Naruto started to explain to everyone about the operation.

Sasuke and Sai we waiting for Sakura in the waiting room. It had already been an hour and Sasuke just watched the tv in the room while Sai left after Sakura went to her room to flirt with nurses so Sasuke had been by himself. A few minutes later he looked up and saw Sai walk up to him and took a seat next to him.

" Yo. " Sai said as he sat down next to the Uchiha.

" Hn." Sasuke responded as he went back to watching the tv.

" So are you doing anything for Halloween?"

Sai asked to break the silence in the room. Sai had noticed recetnly whenever Sakura was around he was more talkative but when he was just with Naruto he would stay quite most of the time.

" Sakura told me after her doctor visits she usually doesn't feel well so I told her we could hang out at her apartment when this is over." Sasuke said.

" Thats cool, that actually works out because I have a premiere they would like for me to appear at but I orignially wasn't going to go so I could stay at home and take care of Sakura but if your'egoing to be with her I guess there is no point in me hanging around so I could go tonight." Sai said.

" Hn." Sasuke said again.

" Dickless couldn't take care of a plant even if his life depended on it so there was no way I could trust him in watching over her. " Sai said as he began to laugh.

" Yeah you are right about that." Sasuke said.

" You know what? I like you I need to give you a nickname... lets see... I'll just call you hag." Sai said as he smiled to himself.

" What? hag? I'm not a hag!" Sasuke said in an angry tone of voice.

" You see hag, hag used to be Sakura's name when I first met her a long time ago then after a while I started to call her ugly instead and since you seem to like hanging out with her, I will use a name that reminds me of you and her." Sai stated.

" What the fuck? Are you on drugs?" Sasuke asked in a serious tone of voice. If it had been anyone else calling him that he would of beaten the living hell out of them but he remembered Sakura telling him Sai has weird nicknames for people so he just let it go.

" Not right now. Why do you want some?" Sai asked while raising an eyebrow towards Sasuke.

" Um... no thanks." Sasuke said not knowing if this guy was serious or not.

Then a lady entered the waiting room and looked around and noticed the two teens sitting on the chairs talking so she went up to them.

" Sai, it's good to see you again." The blonde older lady smiled as she took a seat across from the two males.

" Dr. Tsunada, it's always a pleasure talking to you. How is Sakura doing?" Sai asked the doctor as Sasuke kept looking at the doctor.

" She's fine, she's been pretty good about taking her pills I take it."

" Yes mam." Sai stated.

" Good, they are in the process of taking her blood and urine sample at the moment. So hopefully you guys won't have to wait too much longer. Oh how could I be so rude! I am Dr. Tsunada, Sakura's doctor." Tsunada extended her hand out to Sasuke and he shook her hand then put his hand back in his pocket.

" Nice to meet you. I am Sasuke Uchiha." Sasuke said as he looked at the lady infront of him

' I guess she was the reason why Sakura had to move here. I should be thankful for that.' Sasuke thought.

" I have been Sakura's doctor since she had been diagnosed his her sickness. It's not deadly as long as you take care of yourself but it still is hard on Sakura sometimes so I'm really glad she's already met some new friends here. Unfortunately I had to get transferred over here and there was no way out of it so Sai came up with the idea to move over here so she could still get her treatments." Tsunada explained.

" Dr. Tsunada is the best." Sai said.

" Okay well I should go check on Sakura. I'll let you guys know when she is ready to leave. Now if you will excuse me." Tsunada got out of the chair and walked out of the room.

" Hey Sai, do you really take Sakura to the doctors every month are does someone else take her sometimes?" Sasuke asked.

" Most of the time I take her orless something comes up that's work related that I can't get out of then I get someone else to take her. I don't mind doing this though. She's like my little sister who I love to death, I would do literally anything if she asks me to." Sai said.

" Hn." Sasuke said as they kept on waiting for her check up to be over.

Finally Sakura was done with her check up and was reunited with Sasuke and Sai in the waiting room.

" Hey ugly. How are you feeling?" Asked Sai and the two males stood up andwalked towards their friend.

" Irritable and tired. Can we go now?"

Sakura asked then Sai nodded his head and the three of them walked out of the hospital and got into Sai's car and drove off. Sai was the one driving while Sasuke and Sakura sat in the back of the car because Sai asked Sasuke to sit back there to support Sakura since he knew how drain she would always get after her visits. Sasuke had his arm wrapped around her arm as she had her eyes closed while resting on Sasuke's shoulder. When they got to the apartment, Sakura had woken up when the car stopped and Sasuke and Sakura got out of the car.

" Ugly, I have to go out tonight and Sasuke is going to take care of you. Are you going to be okay with that?" Sai asked her and she nodded.

" Alright I will call you guys later, take care of her." Sai told Sasuke and he nodded to him and they watched him drive off.

" Sasukeyou are just a great friend you know that?" Sakura said as they were walking up to the door.

" So are you." Sasuke reply causing Sakura to blush.

" Hey Sasuke, how come you don't have a girlfriend?" Sakura asked Sasuke suddenly, causing him sto stop suddenly.

' Why is she asking me that? I guess she really is out of it' Sasuke thought.

" Why don't you have a boyfriend?" Sasuke asked while raising an eyebrow.

" Um... that's personal!" Sakura yelled out as she blushed again in embarrassment.

" My answer is personal too." Sasuke said while smirking as they got to the door which was unlocked and opened up the door. The two of them walked in then suddenly all of their friends suddenly appeared from the room.

" Surprise!!!" Everyone yelled out which scared Sakura who suddenly went and hid behind Sasuke. Sasuke took noticed of her action and turned around and faced her while he put his hands on her shoulders for comfort.

" Sakura, it's okay. It's just our friends." Sasuke said. Sakura looked up at him and then her eyes shifted around him to see everyone standing there, all with concern faces.

" Sakura! Hey sorry we scared you. We planned a surprised halloween just for you since I know you aren't allowed to go out." Naruto explained as he walked up to her. She looked over at him but instead of happiness or relief in her eyes there was anger and frustration.

" Naruto... why is everyone here? You know I hate people seeing me like this after I go to the doctors!" Sakura yelled out with tears in her eyes as she ran into her room and closed her door.

" Dobe, did you forget that she doesn't feel well after her doctor visits so she probably doesn't want to hang out with everyone?" Sasuke asked his friend.

" You know what? I didn't realized that." Naruto said as he scratched the back of his head.

" So why doesn't Sakura want to hang out with us?" Ino asked in a concern voice.

" Think of it Ino, she's been at the hospital all day getting shots and having blood taking. I think after all of that I wouldn't want to hang out with a whole bunch of people especially if she get sicks. She's probably embarrassed." Neji explained.

" You are right, we were so busy thinking about what to do for Halloween, we weren't thinking about how she might had felt having us over." Shikamaru said.

" You guys wait here, I'll go talk to her." Sasuke said as he walked to her door and knocked on it.

" Hey Sasuke, her door isn't locked so you can just open it if she doesn't answer. She doesn't have a lock in case something happens to her while in her bedroom so me or Sai can get to her."

Naruto said and Sasuke nodded and opened the door and walked into the room and closed the door behind him. He saw Sakura laying in bed facing in the opposite direction and walked up to the bed and sat down on the opposite side.

" Sakura, are you feeling okay?" Sasuke was looking at her when she shifted her body and looked up to him.

" Not really... I didn't mean to yell at Naruto infront of the others it's just I wasn't expecting to see everyone here and I got kinda freaked out." Sakura said.

" Don't worry about it. They understand about your situation and all they care about is for you to get better." Sasuke said. Then there was a knock at the door and the door opened up to reveal Ino walking towards them.

" Hey Sakura, we are so sorry about this. Are you okay?" Ino asked as she walked closer to the couple.

" I will be thank Ino. I'm sorry for my little outburst out there I don't feel like myself." Sakura said.

" It's okay. If you want, we can all just get together another time." Ino said.

" No. I feel bad that you all went through this trouble but I am pretty tired." Sakura explained.

" Well why don't we just do what we originally planned? Me and Sakura were planning on just watching movies until Sai got home so that way Sakura won't feel bad for ruining the party but yet she can get plenty of rest while watching the movies." Sasuke said with the idea and Sakura smiled at the idea and nodded.

" Great idea Sasuke, let's go let everyone know okay?" Ino said as she walked out of the room with Sasuke and Sakura following her.

" Hey guys, sorry about what happened earlier." Sakura said

" Not a problem we are sorry for not thinking right especially me." Naruto said as he was sitting on the chair eating some more ramen like he always does.

" So Sasuke thought of a plan that instead of having a party we just watch movies with them." Ino explained to everyone about the idea.

" That's a great idea teme!"

Naruto yelled out as everyone else agreed with the suggestion. Everyone got situated in the room before starting the movie. Sakura layed on one of the couch's with Sasuke sitting on one of the corner, giving his legs as Sakura's pillow for her head. Shikamaru, Ino and Neji sat on the 2nd couch while Naruto and Hinata sat on the last couch. They all ended up watching 2 horror movies having Naruto and Ino scared and clinging to their significant others while Sakura slept most of the time but she had already seen the movies so she didn't really feel left out. Sakura would occasionally would wake up to throw up in the bathroom but other than that she didn't get that sick. When the 2nd movie was over, Sai had just gotten to the apartment to see everyone before they all went home. When everyone left, Sai went over to where Sasuke and Naruto were still hanging out at and took a seat.

" So how is she doing?" Sai asked Sasuke as she glanced at her sleeping form.

" She slept most of the time. Once in a while she would get sick but other than that she's been pretty good." Sasuke told Said as he looked down at her pretty face that was on his lap.

' I could have her sleep like this forever. She looks so beautiful.' Sasuke thought then lifted up his wrist to look at the time.

" I guess I should head out since we have school in the mourning." Sasuke said as he carefully moved from Sakura without waking her up and stood up.

" Alright thanks again for staying with her." Sai said as he also got up from the couch and went over to pick Sakura's body up and walked her into her room to put her down to bed.

" Alright teme I will see you in the mourning." Naruto got up andwalked his friend to the door.

" I got to ask you something though, so are you and Sakura dating yet or what?" Naruto asked.

" No but I think I can trust you but I'm in love with her Naruto." Sasuke explained to his friend.

" That's great teme! I know she likes you a lot too I can tell. You two are made for eachother! So have you asked her out yet?" Naruto asked but Sasuke shook his head.

" Do you want some advice? I would ask her out after the anniversary of her mother's death. That's coming up and I know that is a hard time for her so if you can handle her during that then like I said you two are definitely made for each other."

" Thanks dobe, I will keep it in mind, but don't tell anyone else how I feel okay. I'm not even sure myself if I'm ready for a relationship yet." Sasuke said as he opened up the door.

" Yeah but you don't sleep around or doing drugs so at least you are in the right direction." Naruto said.

" Hn." Sasuke walked outside the apartment and closed the door to walk to his car. Earlier he had texted Itachi at the end of school if he could pick up his car from school and take it to Sakura's since Itachi was the only one with a spare and he had no intrest in leaving his car at school. Now he couldn't wait until school in the mourning to see her perfect face yet once again.

Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, the next 3 or 4 chapters I'm going to write them out before posting them up since some major stuff is going to happen and I hate it when something dramatic happens and you have to wait another week to see what happens so instead I figured I'll write them up then post one a day or something.
