Lostish: So here it is!! The chapter you all have been waiting for in xxx years!!! (7 months, anyways...) it's very short and only the first part of the chapter. Well, please enjoy. (pfft.)

"Sasuke, can I talk to you for a minute?" There, she'd said it.

"Sure." He didn't turn to look at her.

"In private. Not here." She looked nervously around. The were several people surrounding them and she didn't want this to get out. At all. In fact, she hadn't even spoken to Temari (who Sakura had told everything about Sasuke) or Ino (who was, despite everything, her best friend) about Sasuke suddenly kissing her. Mostly because she didn't know what to tell them.

"Okay." Still not bothering to look at her, he walked over to the nearest classroom and peeked in. "No one is in here," he said before walking inside. Sakura followed, biting herself nervously in her lower lip. "Please make it quick, I'm in a kind of hurry."

"I'll make it quick then, since I only have two questions for you. First, why have you been avoiding me?" She looked directly at him, hoping that he'd meet her glaze. He didn't.

"I haven't been avoiding you." He said stiffly.

"Come on, I know you have and I wanna know why! Ever since that kiss-!" Sakura slammed her hands before her mouth, realizing that she'd said too much. Sasuke stood as frozen, still not facing her. It was impossible for her to read his mood.

"Uhm, I mean..." Awkward pause. This was most certainly not how she had planned this and now, it seemed, neither of them knew what to say.

"About that," Sasuke finally said "just forget it. I wasn't fully at my senses and I wasn't thinking."

"W-what?" Her damn mind didn't seem to work properly. At least that was what she told herself.

"I didn't know what I was doing, okay? It was an accident." He said, his voice sounding more sure now.

"So... you're saying that kissing me was an accident?" She wasn't really aware of the angry tone in the words before they came out of her mouth.

"Yes."

"Fine!" She snapped. "Just leave, do what you have to do! I'm done with you!" She felt the tears burning in her eyes while turning around to march out of the classroom, leaving a dumbstruck Sasuke behind.

"Hey Ino?"

"What?" The blonde turned to look at her hyper friend who'd adressed her.

"Have you seen Sakura? She didn't show up at P.E. and I swear I saw her just five minutes before class!"

"No, I haven't." She answered. "Maybe something is wrong with her; she doesn't usually skip class..."

"That was what I thought, too! Well," He turned to look at his raven-haired friend who's mind seemed awfully absent that day. "What about you Sasuke?"

"What." Awfully absent-minded.

"Have you seen Sakura since this morning?"

"Ah. I mean, no I haven't."

"Hm. you sure? I actually thought it might have had something to do with you since you don't seem t be with us today either."

"hn."

They found her in the practicing room at the hotel. Gaara heard music coming from there when searching the north end of the hotel and had dragged Temari along with him.

She was sitting with her back to them, singing. They didn't want to disturb her, instead they just stood there, listening. Sure, Sakura has always been a good singer but what she sung there was better than any of them had heard from her before.

Suddenly, the music stopped and Sakura turned quickly around to face them, seeing their eyes grow wider at the sight of her red, swollen eyes.

"Sakura!" Temari was at her friend in the flash of a light, pulling her into a hug. "What happened?"

Sakura just hung with her head, avoiding to look at them. Not mentioning anything about them having looked after her all day or asking again, Temari placed her hands at the pinkette's shoulders and showed her up to her room.

Preview at part 2

"Sasuke Uchiha."

"It's Gaara."

"Ah."

"We found Sakura."

"Okay."

Silence. Sasuke didn't know what to say, so he kept silent.

"She's been crying."

"And so?"

"I just wondered if you might have said anything to harm her? Because if you have, I'll be sure to make you apologize to her even if I have to beat the daylights out of you."

Sasuke just sat there, staring a the phone in his hand, not knowing what to do now. This certainly had gotten more complicated than he'd ever imagined.

Thanks for reading!! I'll be sure to upload part 2 soon!
