"Come Togerther"

Chapter 9 " His Problem"

It was Monday mourning and Sakura hated Mondays, especially this Monday. She hadn't talked to Sasuke since their aim encounter on Saturday and this week was the week of her mom's death anniversary. Usually every year Sai let's Sakura skip the whole week of school but this year she at least wanted to show up to school today so no one would think, including Sasuke that he was the reason why she wasn't going to be in school for the rest of the week. Sakura was done getting her uniform on when she heard a knock on the door.

" Come in." Sakura said then she saw Sai walk into the bedroom. Sai and his band came into town yesterday, he always made sure he was with her during the week of her mom's anniversary.

" Hey Sakura, are you sure you want to go to school today?" Sai asked.

" Yeah, I need to go get my work for this week and I'm back to my old ways again so I need to show Sasuke that I don't need him at all."

Sakura said. When Sai came home yesterday, she told him all the details of what had happened between her and Sasuke. Sai was never the one to express his emotions but instead he was there to comfort her.

" Okay but I got you a little something incase you aren't able to handle the stress."

Sai walked up to her and reached something from her pocket and placed a tiny bag in her hand. She put the little bag closer to her face to take a better look at it and noticed it was a tiny bit of cocaine, enough to do one bump. She smiled at her present, as Sai knew this was the only time of year she would do something like this.

" Thanks Sai. You are the best." Sakura said as she gave him a hug.

" Not a problem, actually I have another present for you."

Sai reached his other pocket and pulled out a pink cellphone and handed it to Sakura. She took the cellphone out of his hand and examined it with a smile on her face.

" I got you a cellphone so I can keep in touch with you. It was about time you got one anyways and I already programmed my number along with the band, Naruto and his friend's that he had in his cell so you already have some numbers saved in it."

" Oh my god thank you so much Sai!" Sakura said with excitement.

" You are very welcome now if you need me to pick you up early today just send me a text message and I will come get you okay?"

" Okay... oh hey has Naruto left for school yet?" Sakura asked.

" Yeah he left right before I came in here, I told him that I was taking you to school today. So are you ready?" Sai asked and Sakura nodded her head and gathered her things and walked out of the room with him and left for school.

Sasuke walked to his locker after he arrived at school that mourning. All weekend he couldn't stop thinking about Sakura and he hated himself and everything around him for what he had done. He was so depressed he was back to his old ways which was including getting fucked out of his skull and screwing with random women at the clubs. He wanted to keep trying to talk to Sakura and ask her for his forgiveness but after the conversation he had with Naruto yesterday he was told otherwise.

Flashback

Sasuke knocked on the door of Sakura's apartment, hoping that she was home so he could apologize to her once again but instead of seeing her face when someone opened the door, it was his friend Naruto.

" What's up Teme? Are you here to see your Sakura?" Naruto asked.

" She isn't mine... is she here?" Sasuke asked as he walked into the apartment.

" Naw Sai came back into town this mourning so she is out with him and Gaara."

" Oh I see... did she tell you what happened?" Sasuke asked while they walked to the couches and took a seat.

" With what? your date? No... I actually hadn't seen her all weekend. Sai was the one that called me saying that they were going out and I had been at Hinata's all weekend since her parent's are out of town. So how did it go? Are you guys a couple yet?"

" No... I fucked up big time." Sasuke said then told Naruto the whole story that Itachi and Neji had told him what had happened Friday night. Sasuke had called Neji the day before and he was confirmed that he actually did in fact made out with Karin and Sakura saw the whole thing.

" God you are such an idiot."

" I know I am and I want to apologize to her but she hates me now." Sasuke said as he lowered his head.

" Oh my god dude, you really do like her. You never apologize to anyone and you never care about how anyone else thinks of you."

" I know. What should I do? I need to think of something."

" Well honestly? I think you should leave her alone and let her deal with whatever she is going through right now."

" What do you mean?" Asked Sasuke.

" Well I don't know if you knew this or not but this week... is the anniversary of Sakura's mother's death. She usually takes it pretty hard this time of year so I think it would be best for the both of you just stay away from each other next week while she grives but after next week, try talking to her again." Naruto explained truthfully.

" Fuck, I completely forgot about her mom's anniversary! I'm such a jerk!" Sasuke yelled out in frustration.

" Yeah you are but I think that is the best thing you could do for her right now. Just give her space."

Sasuke slammed his locker door shut after remembering what Naruto had told him and stormed off to his class which was with Sakura. When Sasuke entered the classroom, he found no sight of pink anywhere and walked to his seat.

" Hey Sasuke." Ino yelled out and wave to him as he turned to gaze at her but said nothing back and continued to his seat.

' That asshole, what happened to him? He had been a lot nicer lately but what's with the sudden mood swing?'

Ino thought to herself as she looked back towards the classroom door and saw Karin casually walking into the classroom. Karin looked around and saw Sasuke sitting by himself in his seat and ran up to him and sat in Sakura's seat and started to hug his arm.

" Sasuke I missed you so much this weekend! I can't believe your stupid friend had to interupt our moment together but since he is out of the way why don't we start again."

Karin said as she put one of her hands on his thigh but instead of him giving in to her temptation, he turned his head and gave her an evil glare and pushed her so hard she fell out of Sakura's chair and everyone in the classroom who was in there started to laugh at her, including Ino. Sasuke was about to stand up and start yelling at her but shifted his eyes and noticed Sakura was standing near the doorway, staring into his onxy colored eyes.

" Sakura."

Sasuke said in a soft tone of voice and tried to walk up to her but Karin got up too quickly and placed her lips onto his. Ino looked around and saw Sakura standing there emotionless watching the two so Ino got out of her seat and dragged Sakura out of the classroom so she wouldn't see anymore of the two. After Sasuke realized what Karin was doing, he pushed her off of him and raised his hand and slapped Karin hard on the face. She took a few steps back and began to have tears in her eyes.

" Sasuke... why?" Karin asked with fear and sadness in her eyes, watching Sasuke walk back to his seat and sat down, acting like nothing had happened.

" Karin, you are the reason why I am so misrable right now. If you ever try to do that again, I will hurt you even more."

Sasuke said in a mean tone of voice while glaring at Karin, making her afraid of her so instead of protesting, she quietly walked to her seat while still placing her hand on her cheek that he had just slapped.

Sakura was now sitting in one of the bathroom stall with the door closed. She had told Ino what had happened this weekend with Sasuke and Ino was more than pissed off at him but Sakura told her to just leave him alone and that she was fine with it. She excused herself from her friend and went to the girl's bathroom as Ino walked back into the classroom. Sakura sighed and took out the little bag that Sai gave to her this mourning and used it up within seconds and put the empty bag back into her pocket. She witnessed Sasuke pushing Karin away from him and her getting up to kiss him. She wasn't mad at him since it looked like he was more pissed but it still hurt having the flashback of him making out with her a few nights before. She thought she could handle seeing him again but she thought wrong but she knew when the drug kicked in she would be feeling a lot better. She left the bathroom and walked back to class before the class bell rang. When she got back into the classroom, she saw Karin sitting quietly in her seat and walked over to her seat which she had to be near Sasuke. She didn't even glance at him as she took her seat and took out her cell phone and began to text Sai. Sasuke looked over and saw that Sakura now had a cell phone and figured it wouldn't hurt to make small talk.

" I didn't know you had a cell phone." Sasuke said to her.

" Yeah Sai gave it to me yesterday." Sakura responded as she began to text Sai.

Sai can you come get me during lunch time? I can't take it anymore and I already did my bump

Sakura sent her text message and closed her phone and put it back into her bookbag. Sasuke knew she had texted someone but it was too far away to tell what she had typed in the message. He wanted to say more to her but Naruto's advice kept ringing in his head and he was glad when Sakura reply back to him, she wasn't as harsh as he thought she was going to be. Just then the bell rung and the teacher came in and started to teach the class.

It was now lunchtime again for the students. Everyone at the table had found out what had happened to Sasuke and Sakura from ether Naruto or Neji so everyone made sure not to mention it. Sasuke sat at one end of the table while Sakura sat at the very far end, still being a little high from the coke she had done earlier but no one noticed and everyone seemed quieter than usual. A few minutes later, a female with short brown hair and honey colored eyes went up to the table and started to speak to Sasuke and Naruto who were sitting next to each other.

" Hey Sasuke, hey Naruto... I was wondering since we were assigned for that project last period if you guys want to get together after school or something?" The girl asked.

" Sure Mina... how about we do it at my apartment?" Naruto asked.

" Oh... I guess so or we could all go over to Sasuke's house."

" No." Sasuke said in a serious tone of voice.

" Well I guess it's my apartment then. How about we all meet up in front of the school and go from there?" Naruto said.

" Sounds great okay I'll see you guys later, bye Sasuke."

Mina said and waved and walked away from the table but Sasuke didn't even look up at the girl once. He was slowly turning back into his old self. Sakura didn't even bother to look up when she heard a female calling Sasuke's name. She tried her best not to care and completely forgot the situation when she saw a familiar figure walk into the cafeteria.

" Sai!" Sakura yelled out as she got out of her chair and walked up to him.

" Yo. Got your text. Are you ready to go?" Said asked and Sakura nod her head and walked over to the table to get her things.

" Hey Sai, what are you doing here?" Asked Naruto as everyone else greeted him.

" I'm here to pick up Sakura." Sai stated as he watch her get her things and took her bookbag from her.

" Wait Sakura, your leaving?" Ino asked.

" Yeah, I don't feel so well so I asked Sai if he would come get me. Anyways we should be going now so I'll see you all later."

Sakura said with a smile and the two walked off leaving everyone behind, Sasuke didn't even look up the whole time, he tried not to care.

" That's weird, Sakura seemed fine in her last two periods. She seemed normal and happy... I wonder what happened." Ino whispered to her boyfriend.

" It's too troublesome to think of it maybe she didn't want you guys to be bothered or something. You know how she can get." Shikamaru responded.

" Hey Sasuke, are you okay?" Hinata asked because she noticed he was being very cold and quiet during lunch today. He looked up and gave her an evil glare then looked back at his food without saying a word.

" Don't mind him Hinata, he's just being an ass." Naruto said as he gave his girlfriend a hug while Sasuke ignored his friend's comment.

Sakura and Sai made it back home and was greeted by Gaara, who was at the apartment when they got there.

" Hey Gaara!" Sakura said as they walked into the room.

" Yo Sakura, I heard what happened but don't worry... since it's your special week, we got you your favorite thing." Gaara said as he got up from his seat and had a bag in his hand full of cocaine.

" Aw you guys. Thanks, how about we go to my room and celebrate?"

Sakura said as the three went into her bedroom. Sakura got out her old mirror she used to use when she did coke before. She was never an addict, it's just that one time of the year she would use it to make her self completely numb. Sakura then went over to the bed and sat down on the bed with the two other guys and all three of them began doing line after line. A few minutes later when they were done, they were completely coked out of their minds. Gaara took out his Nintendo DS and started playing with it while laying on the bed while Sai and Sakura talked.

" Are you feeling any better?" Sai asked.

" Honestly? No... I miss him so much Sai." Sakura couldn't help but have a tear come down from her eye. She missed Sasuke very much.

" I know you do." Sai moved closer to Sakura and held her in his arms.

" Hey Sai?"

" Yeah?"

" Do... you think... you could make me feel better?" Sakura asked while placing one of her small hands on one of Sai's thighs. Sai looked down at her hand then back into her eyes and knew what he meant.

" Yeah... hey Gaara."

" Yo." Gaara said as he turned his head to look at his band mate.

" Me and Sakura are going to hang out in here for a while, can you go chill in the living room until we are done?" Sai asked.

" Oh I get it... yeah I'll be moving now. Sakura I'm taking your cell phone because Temari was going to call you later."

Gaara said as he got up from the bed and walked out of the room, closing the door to leave his two friends alone.
