" Come Together"

Chapter 6 " Closer"

Naruto was sleeping comfortably on his bed dreaming about the usual, Hinata feeding him a life time supply of ramen. Naruto always loved having theses dreams. But all of the sudden as he was he was eating his ramen, he realized that his ramen didn't smell like ramen. Instead it smelled like pancakes?

" What the fuck!" Naruto yelled out as he jumped out of his bed because of his dream. He looked around and realized it was just a dream and he was back in his room.

' Thank god. pancake flavored ramen sounds nasty... but why do I still smell pancakes?'

Naruto wondered to himself as he crawled out of bed and left his bedroom to figure out where the smell was coming from. He walked into the living room and looked around the room and slowly made it into the kitchen and saw Sakura making pancakes for breakfast. She heard some noises near her and turned around and saw a very looking tired Naruto walking towards her.

" Good mourning sleepy head. What are you doing up so early?" Sakura asked.

" Early? What time is it?" Naruto asked while scratching his head.

" It is almost 5 in the mourning. Sasuke should be here any minute now and we are going to study some more for our huge test today before school." Sakura explained.

" Is that the only reason why he's coming early so early?" Naruto asked with an eyebrow raised but was smacked in the head by Sakura's hand.

" Idiot." Sakura said then all of the sudden they heard someone knocking on the door and Naruto walked over to the door and opened it up to reveal a tired looking Sasuke standing there with his book bag hanging off his back.

" Teme." Naruto greeted as he opened up the door more to let the Uchiha into the apartment.

" Dobe." Sasuke responded as he walked into the room and noticed Sakura walking out of the kitchen wearing a pink apron around her school uniform.

" Good mourning Sasuke, thanks for coming over this mourning. I'm almost done cooking breakfast then we can get started on studying."

Sakura said as she saw Sasuke nod his head and walked back into the kitchen, leaving Naruto and Sasuke to themselves.

" Well I would help you guys study but I'm going back to bed. Hinata and ramen are waiting for me." Naruto said as he waved to Sasuke and walked back to his room and closed the door behind him. Sasuke then walked over to the couch and sat down then opened up his back pack and took out the materials they were going to use to study. He placed it all on the coffee table when suddenly he heard Sakura say something that he couldn't understand what she said so he got up from the couch and went over to the kitchen and saw Sakura standing there as she looked up when she heard Sasuke coming up to her and looked at him with pain in her eyes.

" Sakura are you okay?" Sasuke asked her and she shook her head.

" I burnt my finger with the frying pan." Sakura said as she held up her pinky finger to show Sasuke where she was injured at. Sasuke couldn't help but walk closer to her and pick up her hand that was injured and held out her pinky and slowly putting the injured little finger into his mouth and closed his eyes. Sakura couldn't help but blush as she felt his mouth sucking on her finger. Thank goodness Sakura was done making pancakes and had turned off the stove when she had hurt herself. After a minute later, Sasuke pulled the finger from his mouth and opened his eyes and saw Sakura eyes beaming into his.

" Does it feel any better Sakura?" Sasuke asked in a concern voice as he slowly let go of her hand and she put her hand back to her side.

" Um... yeah... thanks." Sakura said quietly as she couldn't help but think about how close he was to her. They had grown closer to each other week by week. Sasuke was opening up a lot more while Sakura was letting her wall down that she had built around herself so she wouldn't be hurt by anyone.

" Well I guess since your'e done making breakfast, we can start studying." Sasuke said then turned away from her and walked off to sit back with his stuff.

" Yeah..." Sakura spoke softly as she picked up her hand and looked at her pinky that Sasuke had gaven attention to and blushed again.

' I wished that moment would of lasted. Oh well. Fuck, I think I'm really falling hard for him.'

Sakura thought then shook her head to get rid of her thoughts and grabbed some plates and the pancakes and took them over to where Sasuke was at. She placed down the plates and pancakes and sat beside Sasuke and started serving him some food.

" Thanks." Sasuke said as he put down his book and took her plate and began to eat.

" Your welcome." Sakura smiled happily as she began to eat her own pancakes.

" Are they any good?" Sakura asked while looking at him as he nodded his head.

" I'm glad." Sakura smiled once again then noticed Sasuke putting his plate down and shifted his body towards her.

" You look very tired Sasuke. If you rather go back to sleep, I won't be mad." Sakura said while looking at his half open eyes.

" Hn." Sasuke responded as he leaned towards Sakura and rested his head on her shoulder and closed his eyes. Sakura couldn't help but noticed how cute he is whenever he sleeps.

" Sasuke, wake up. Go sleep in my room okay? You will sleep a lot better."

Sakura moved Sasuke away from her and stood up when she saw Sasuke opening up his eyes and took a hold of his hand and walked him into her bedroom. Once they were in there, she walked Sasuke to her bed and helped him lay on one side of the bed. When she noticed that he was situated she got off from the bed but was held back from a force from her wrist. She looked down and saw Sasuke holding onto it.

" Stay."

Sasuke demanded with his eyes closed as he pulled her wrist with some force so she would lay down beside him. When he realized her body was laying beside his, he let go of her wrist and wrapped his arm around her waist and began to sleep. Sakura was still awake and she wanted to stay up and study but she also had the feeling that Sasuke wouldn't let her go no matter how hard she tried so a few minutes later she gave up and closed her eyes as she put her hand above Sasuke's that was around her waist and went to sleep.

About a hour later, Sakura's alarm went off, telling the two teens that it was time to wake up and get ready for school. Sakura slowly sat up and turned her alarm off and looked down and saw that Sasuke was still fast asleep. She didn't want to wake him, seeing as how cute he was looking but if she didn't they would be late for school.

" Sasuke, wake up. We need to get ready for school." Sakura said as she started to shake Sasuke's body. Sasuke responded by this movement by opening up his eyes and looked around and realized he was in Sakura's room.

' That's right, I got tired and she let me sleep in her bed.'

Sasuke thought as he crawled out of bed and watched Sakura do the same thing. Since they were already in their uniforms they didn't have to get dressed so they walked out of the bedroom and noticed Naruto's door was wide open with him no where to be found.

" I guess Naruto went to school already." Sakura said when she noticed Naruto was no longer in the apartment.

"Hn." Sasuke went over and gathered his things off the table and put his stuff in his book bag as Sakura grabbed her things and met him at the door and they left the apartment and went to school.

At lunchtime, Everyone met eachother at their usual table and they all sat down and began to eat.

" So Naruto, I noticed you left earlier than usual this mourning." Sakura stated as she watched her roommate eating his cup of ramen.

" Yeah I couldn't sleep so I decided to surprise Hinata this mourning, I didn't see you guys when I woke up so I figured you guys went out for coffee or something. Oh that reminds me, how did you two do on your test anyway?" Naruto asked.

" Horrible."

" Hn."

" That sucks so you guys waking up early this mourning was all for nothing." Naruto said as he continued to eat.

' Naw it was worth it.' Sasuke and Sakura thought at the same time then they both took a glance at each other and turned away.

" I'm just glad today is friday! Me and Shikamaru are going to the movies this weekend to take the stress from all theses tests this week!" Ino yelled out with excitement.

" Troublesome." Shikamaru mumbled over his girlfriend's actions.

" Yeah it's been about a week since Sai has been out of town on his tour so when he gets back on Sunday it should be nice not being the only one living with Naruto." Sakura joked while glaring at Naruto.

" I'm not that bad of a roomate!" Naruto yelled out.

" Oh yeah? All you ever want to eat is ramen and with Sai being gone, you have been so lazy and not cleaning up after yourself." Sakura explained to the group while everyone started laughing except for Sasuke who just smirked.

" Yeah yeah whatever. I can't help it. I love ramen so much." Naruto stated while hugging his little ramen cup.

" Dobe, you would fuck ramen if you could." Sasuke said.

" Shut up Teme! I know who you want to fuck." Naruto yelled out but was smacked by Sasuke's hand.

" Damn it what is with you and Sakura hitting me on the head today? I was just joking." Naruto whined as he put his hand on his head where he was injured at.

" Hn." Sasuke then crossed his arms and looked at the table while everyone else started their own conversations until lunch ended. When lunch ended, everyone got up from their seat and threw their trash away and all started walking out of the cafeteria. Sasuke was walking next to Sakura when he heard his voice being called out. He turned around and noticed it was Neji who had yelled out his name.

" Sasuke, can I talk to you alone?" Neji asked as he caught up to him and Sakura.

" Okay, well you two have fun with the rest of your classes. I'll talk to you guys later." Sakura said while waving to the two guys and walked away from them. Sasuke watched his friend walk away from him and was a little pissed off that he couldn't spend more time with her but he also knew that he would see her when school ends, but he always missed her whenever she wasn't around.

" Hey Sasuke, there is a new club that is opening tonight, you should definatly come." Neji told him as they walked down the hallway.

" Is that what you wanted to talk to me about?" Sasuke asked.

" Yeah, I didn't want the others to know." Neji explained.

" I don't know..."

" Come on man, ever since you started hanging out with Sakura you never go clubbing with me. How about you take her with us? I bet she'll love it and if she's with you, you won't have to worry about girls trying to get into your pants." Neji explained.

" Okay you convinced me. I'll ask her after school today and besides I do feel like I need a drink after that hard test we had to take." Sasuke said.

" Cool call me later." Neji said as he walked into his classroom while Sasuke kept walking to his class.

At the end of the school day, Sasuke was looking all over for Sakura and finally found her standing by her locker talking to Hinata so he walked over to his two friends.` Sakura was smiling like her usual self when she felt that some eyes were on her and looked around and saw that Sasuke was approaching the two, making her smile even more.

" Hey Sasuke." Sakura yelled out as Hinata turned and saw him stop at his locker.

" Sakura can I ask you something?" Sasuke asked her while Hinata got the hint that they needed some alone time.

" Well Sakura, I'll talk to you later okay? I need to go find Naruto. Bye Sakura, bye Sasuke." Hinata said.

" Okay bye Hinata." Sakura said as Sasuke gave her a short nod and watched her walk away from them.

" Now Sasuke, what was it that you wanted to ask me?" Sakura asked being curious.

" Well, Neji said there is a new club opening up tonight and I wanted to know if you would want to come with me?" Sasuke asked while looking into her green eyes.

" Mr. Uchiha? Are you asking me out on a date?" Sakura flirted while raising an eyebrow causing Sasuke to look the other way and blush a little bit but Sakura didn't noticed since she started to laugh.

" Um..." Sasuke said nervously because he really wasn't asking her out on a date but wait a minute, maybe he was. He never thought of it that way but before Sasuke could finished his sentence Sakura interrupted him.

" I would love to go!"

Sakura said with excitement as she went to hug Sasuke and Sasuke was too shocked from her answer and her sudden movement, it took him a minute to have everything register in his mind. When he realized that Sakura was hugging him, he slowly put his arms around her waist and hugged her back. After a minute, they let go when they realized what they were actually doing especially out in public.

" Hehe sorry about that I just got excited." Sakura said as she blushed a little bit from her sudden action.

" Not a problem."

Sasuke said while giving her a smirk. Then Sakura closed her locker and they both walked down the hallway. What they didn't know was two people were watching them the whole time and heard their conversation. The two people were non other than Karin, and her friend, Ashley who were recovering their shock from the situation that had just ocurred.

" So that pink haired bitch thinks she can get with our Sasuke? That fucking bitch! I'm going to make her pay for even thinking about hugging him." Karin said to her friend as they were by their lockers and couldn't believe what had just happened to their Sasuke.

" Karin, you look like you are planning something evil." Ashley said while looking at herself with her mini mirror in her locker.

" Oh yeah I do, we are going to that club tonight and then Sakura will know not to mess with us and trying to get with our Sasuke." Karin said.

" I bet Sasuke doesn't even like her, she isn't even that pretty and look at her disgusting forehead and pink hair."

" Don't worry after tonight, we will make sure they hate each other and we will make Sasuke fall for us instead." Karin said as she began to think of their plan for the couple tonight.
