" Come Together"

Chapter 27

" Take Care Of Yourself"

Sakura woke up early in the next morning, hoping to see Sasuke laying right beside her but to see disappointment, he was no where to be seen. Then she remembered the night before and how he left her at her own farewell party to go hang out with his guy friends. To say she was pissed off was an understatement. She wouldn't had minded if she wasn't going to be moving today and doesn't know the next time she would see him again.

Sakura quickly picked up her cellphone and dialed Sasuke's cellphone number. She frowned when his phone went immediately straight to his voice mail and she was worried that something might had happened to him. She laid there in her bed when she heard a knock on the door.

" Come in!" Sakura yelled out as watched her bedroom door open up and Sai walked into the room.

" Good morning ugly." Sai said as he walked over to the girl's bed.

" Morning!" Sakura said as she sat up in her bed.

" So... did you have fun with Sasuke last night?" Sakura asked the male, she was really curious of what they did the night before.

" Yeah we did!" Sai said with a smile on his face.

" Did Sasuke make it back home okay?" Sakura asked.

" I don't know, I saw him leaving the club with some hot chick." Sai said jokingly but when he glanced over at his friend, he knew that she was worried.

" I'm kidding! Shikamaru was the designated driver and took him home."

" Oh okay..." Sakura trailed off while looking away.

" Why are you getting so worried anyway?" Sai asked her as he watched her get out of bed and stretched her arms.

" Well, I just tried calling his cell phone but it was turned off so I was beginning to worry." Sakura explained.

" Oh maybe he is just hung over and wanted some peace and quiet?" Sai suggested but Sakura shook her head.

" But he knows that my flight leaves this morning!" Sakura began to whine. She missed her boyfriend.

" Well maybe he is going to show up at the airport with Itachi, I know everyone is planning on meeting us there." Sai said.

" Yeah, I bet you are right, anyways Sai go away so I can get dressed then I will be ready to leave for the airport." Sakura said as she watched Sai nod his head and turned around and left the bedroom.


When she got all ready, Naruto and Hinata drove Sai and Sakura to the airport and were greeted by Shikamaru, Ino, Tenten, Neji and Itachi and to Sakura's disappointment, Sasuke was no where to be seen.

" Sakura, we are going to have to talk on the phone everyday!" Ino said while trying to cheer up her friend.

" Thanks, you will have to let me know when you finally lose that virginity of yours." Sakura giggled out while watching the blond blush.

" Good luck on trying to get her virginity." Sakura told her boyfriend while winking at him.

" Thanks Sakura, I will try my best." Shikamaru said.

" Yeah next time you are in town, we will have to go out clubbing again." Neji said.

" Okay! As long as Ashley's brother isn't the bartender." Sakura said.

" Tenten, you watch over Neji for me." Sakura told his girlfriend.

" Don't worry I will." Tenten said.

" Hinata, you have to take care of Naruto for me. Don't make him eat too much ramen. And please tell him to stop throwing surprise parties." Sakura whined to the girl.

" I will try my best. It's going to be weird without you and Sai not being there anymore." Hinata told her.

" Itachi! I'm really going to miss you!" Sakura told the older Uchiha.

" Foolish little sister, you are acting like you are never going to see me again. Don't worry about Sasuke. Have some faith in him." Itachi told her.

" Where is he? I would had figured he was going to come with you to the airport." Sakura said with a frown on her face.

" Well when I woke up this morning he was already gone and every time I tried his cellphone, it is turned off so I don't know where he is. I'm sorry that he is being a jerk." Itachi said.

" Thanks it's not your fault." Sakura said.

Sakura then walked over to her now former roommate and noticed that he wasn't his cheerful self.

" It will be okay Naruto, when you guys graduate, you will all have to come visit." Sakura said with a smile on her face.

" Sakura..." Naruto trailed off.

" What is it?"

" I'm sorry about Sasuke not showing up. But don't worry next time I see him I will kick his ass." Naruto yelled out.

" It's okay... I'm sure he has a good reason not showing up." Sakura said with a fake smile on her face. She was getting sadder by the minute.

" Take care of yourself."

Naruto told her as he gave her a tight hug. After they said all of their goodbye's, Sakura and Sai left them and went through the security. After they were done there, they walked over to where they were going to depart and took a seat, waiting for their plane to get ready. Sakura took out her phone once again and tried to call Sasuke one last time but this time he finally picked up.

" Hello?"

" Sasuke! I have finally gotten a hold of you!"

" Hey Sakura."

" So where are you? I'm at the airport now."

" Yeah about that, I can't make it."

Sakura suddenly heard a female voice in the background but wasn't able to tell who she was or what she was saying.

" Who was that?"

" No one, I gotta go. Have a safe trip. Bye."

" Sasuke wait I love-"

" You." Sakura looked down at the phone and noticed that he had hung up with her. Tears immediately started to form in her eyes and Sai took noticed of her.

" Hey ugly, what's the matter?" Sai asked the girl then she immediately embraced him, while he could feel her tears on his shirt.

" Sasuke used me." Sakura cried out, not caring that some people were starting to stare.

" No he didn't, what makes you say that?" Sai asked her.

" He told me he wasn't going to show up and then I heard a female with him and suddenly he had to get off the phone and he didn't even tell me that he loves me." Sakura said.

" You are thinking way too into this. He probably is still upset that you are leaving and maybe he was at the store and was in the middle of checking out so he had to get off the phone." Sai suggested, trying to make his friend feel better.

" How about this, why don't you try calling him again once we get back home. Until then cheer up! You never know he might show up on the airplane or something." Sai told her when they suddenly heard the intercom, letting them know they needed to board the plane.

" Yeah your right." Sakura said as she got up from her seat while wiping away her tears.

Sakura and Sai walked in line while waiting the board the plane. Once they got on the plane, they took their seats with Sai taking the seat next to the window while Sakura sat in the middle seat. All she could think about was Sasuke and was hoping that he was going to show up any minute like they do in the movies and take the seat right beside her. Sakura then glanced over at the window after spending the minute looking around, trying to get a glimpse of the raven male she loved. She then felt a presence being sitting down next to her and quickly turned around to see if it was her boyfriend but to her disappointment, it was an old bald headed male.


About three hours later, they had finally arrived at their destination and they got into the limo that was waiting for the teens. Sakura still couldn't get Sasuke out of her mind no matter how hard she tried. She tried to call him while on their way to the house but this time his phone was on but he didn't they got to Sai's mansion, it was exactly how Sakura remembered it. When they entered their home, they were immediately greeted by Sai's mother. Sakura had to hide her emotions because she didn't want his mother to see her depressed or upset.

" Well hello you two! I'm so happy that you are finally home Sakura!" Sai's mother said with excitement.

' Yeah... this is my home.' Sakura thought to herself as she smiled at her adoptive mother.

" Now I want to have a very long chat with you and to gossip of how things were while you were away but before that, you have a present from me and Sai waiting for you in your room." Sai's mother said, knowing that Sakura seemed very depressed at the moment.

" Oh okay..."

Sakura told her with a fake smile on her face as she went up the stairs and went to her room. Her room that hadn't been touched since her and Sai had moved away so many months before. When she finally reached up to her room, she noticed that he door was closed but then let the thought slip her mind as she opened her door, not caring or paying any attention to her room what so ever as she was too busy thinking about Sasuke.

" Sakura."

She knew that voice.

She must be hallucinating.

There was no way that he would be in her room.

Sakura decided to take the chance to prove to herself that she was wrong and slowly lifted up her eyes that were fixated on the floor to see none other than Sasuke Uchiha sitting on her queen sized memory foam bed, like he was waiting for her to arrive.

" S-Sasuke?" Sakura whispered out but loud enough for him to hear it. He was staring right into her emerald eyes as he got off of the bed and slowly approuched her.

" Sakura." The way he say her name always made her feel like she was heaven as she realized she was no longer in a dream but in a reality.

" SASUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sakura screamed as loud as she could.


Sai and his mother were sitting casualty in the living room when they heard a sudden scream.

" SASUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!"

" Well it seems like Sakura has found her present." Sai said with a smirk on his face.

" She sure did. I take it that she loves it." Sai's mother giggled out.

Sakura could not believe that Sasuke was in her bedroom as she ran up to him and embraced him while tears were flowing down from her face.

" What are you doing here?" Sakura choked out as she lifted her head up to meet his gaze.

" I couldn't leave my sick girlfriend when she needs me the most." Sasuke said with a smirk on his face then lifted his hand up to remove a few of her tears.

" I thought that... you didn't want me." Sakura admitted.

" What makes you think that? I love you and nothing will ever change that." Sasuke told his girlfriend.

" Well... you didn't want to spend our last night together and you didn't show up at the airport and when I called you I heard a girl in the background and you didn't tell me that you loved me." Sakura said.

" Well the reason why I hung out with the guys last night is because it was going to be the last time I see them for a while. My flight left early this morning so that is why I had my phone turned off and when you finally did get in touch with me, I was with Sai's mother. She was the one who you heard in the background and I was afraid that you might had recognized her voice so I got off the phone as soon as possible. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you that I love you but I do. Do you feel better now?"

Sasuke looked down at his girl and saw her nod her head.

" Good because we are going to be living together now so I didn't want us to start off on the wrong foot." Sasuke admitted which made Sakura's eyes go wide.

" You mean it? You are moving in with us?" Sakura asked him.

" Yep, Sai and his mother are cool with it and I'm going to be taking the same program as you so we can get our GED's together. One thing must go though before I start sleeping in your room." Sasuke told her.

" You have to get rid of that picture over there next to your bed of you and Sasori together." Sasuke said with a frown on his face.

" Of course!" Sakura told him before pulling him in for a passionate kiss.

" I love you." Sakura said.

" I love you too." Sasuke told her before kissing her on her forehead.
