Aishiteru
Gokudera
For Princess of wolves3
Sakura Monogatatori was thanking the high heavens that she was fast.
The reason being that if she wasn't she would most probably have been murdered by the demon prefect known as Hibari Kyoya.
So as she walked through the empty halls of Namimori middle she said a silent prayer to the lord, thanking them for her gift of speed that helped her escape unscathed.
But as the door to her homeroom came into sight, Sakura stumbled.
The white haired girl winced slightly as she suddenly felt pain in her right leg.
Mentally the girl cursed, as orange hyper will like eyes slowly looked down to see a tonfa shaped bruise starting to form on the pale skin of her leg.
Ok, so she didn't exactly come out of the battle unscathed, but at least she didn't get 'bitten to death'...
Sakura breathed a deep breath and decided to ignore the pain in her leg, so she could continue her way toward her class.
'I really need to start paying more attention to the lunch bell…' sighed the small girl as she slowly opened the sliding door to her class.
As she entered the room only 2 sets of eyes turned to look at.
The first being her childhood friend Takeshi, or Yamamoto.
The second being the soft brown eyes of Tsuna.
"I see that you've decided to join us for afternoon classes Ms. Monogatatori." The teacher drawled out not even bothering to look at the long haired girl.
It was a normal for Sakura to come into class late during lunch and the teacher had long since given up trying to get the shy girl to be on time.
"Y-yes S-sensei…" Sakura whispered as a reply as she began to fiddle with the hem of her school blouse.
"Well take your seat and pay attention." The glasses wearing man dismissed as he continued to write notes down on the board.
Sakura nodded quickly and proceeded to take her seat as an embarrassed blush came to her face.
The first thing she did was give a reassuring look towards the two boys who's eyes where glued to her.
Then after a small sigh the girl quickly, but silently, began to take out her writing material.
"Tch, stupid woman." Growled the rough voice of her neighbor.
Sakura flinched before slowly turning to the silver haired bomber.
"W-what did I do now..." The orange eyed girl asked.
Gokudera Hayato proceeded to glare at the small girl next to him.
"Stupid woman, you disgraced the Vongola name!" The olive green eyed boy snapped quietly.
Sakura flinched once again before she ducked her head down in shame.
It was the same thing everyday.
She would come into class late because she spaced out during lunch and Gokudera would insult her for embarrassing Tsuna or the family.
By now she should have been use to it by now, but every time he would glare at her it would hurt.
Every time he would spit out an insult her heart would burn.
And it had nothing to do with the fact that he was insulting her.
No.
It was the simple fact that even after the insults and threats, Sakura couldn't help but harbor a deep love for the Italian boy.
That's right, the small, shy, and generally clumsy girl known as Sakura was in love with the Hurricane Bomber.
"I-i'm sorry..." the white haired girl whispered as she tried to focus on taking class notes.
The silver haired boy said nothing as he turned his head away from the Vongola's Eclipse guardian.
XxXxX
"Sakura-chan a-are you ok?" came the soft voice of the Vongola tenth.
Sakura suddenly looked at the boy with a small blush on her face.
She was once again caught spacing out.
"W-what?" the orange eyed girl stuttered out in confusion.
"STUPID WOMAN!" Gokudera shouted causing said 'woman' to jump in fear. "HOW DARE YOU IGNORE THE JUUDAIME!" the hot tempered boy continued.
"Mah Mah, Calm down Gokudera." Smiled Yamamoto as Sakura hid behind him.
"Shut up baseball idiot." Said boy growled out as his hands twitched in hopes of being able to use his dynamite.
"G-Gokudera-kun, p-please calm down." Tsuna pleaded with his wannabe-right-hand-man.
The silver haired boy immediately turned happily towards the brown haired boss.
"Anything you say Juudaime!" Gokudera said with a smile.
And although Sakura hated it, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous of Tsuna.
"Nee, Sa-chan are you ok?" Yamamoto asked cheerfully as he turned to stare at his shorter friend.
"Yes, I'm fine Takashi..." answered the hitwoman as she stepped back to give her baseball loving friend some room to stand.
"A-are you sure? Your limping a bit..." Tsuna pointed out as the group of four continued their track towards the own boys house to study.
Sakura tried to look as innocent as possible.
"Oh! Er... I'm fine, really!" said girl tried to dismiss only to receive several looks of doubt. Then with a sigh she smiled at the three boys "Seriously guys, I just fell on my way back to class. Nothing big." She finished trying to convince the three boys.
"Tch, whatever. Like I care." Gokudera immediately dismissed and started walking ahead.
Tsuna simply nodded and quickly proceeded to follow the silver haired bomber.
The girl sighed in depression at the sight of the two boys.
She couldn't help, but wish for the boy to care about her in the same way that he cared about the Vongola Tenth...
...
Sakura was about to continue until a hand on her shoulder stopped her.
"Sakura." Said the suddenly deep voice of Yamamoto.
Surprisingly serious light brown eyes meet soft hyper will like orange eyes.
"Take...shi?" the smaller girl questioned. She always found it a little strange how her best friends personality could take such a drastic turn...
"Sakura, was it because of... you know..." The dark haired boy began making said girl look down.
Said girls face darkened at the thought of the sickness she had.
It was a disease that her grandmother, from her fathers side, had and died from.
It was an illness that caused her blood to go black and eat away at her internal organs which caused her improper sleep and problems when it came to eating.
Sakura, though, didn't have it as bad as her grandmother did so she wasn't bedridden or unable to move.
But it was what made her so small and frail looking from lack of nutrition, and she often got sick due to it eating away at her immune system.
"N-no Takeshi...it's not that..." the sickly girl stuttered.
Yamamoto stared at the girl for a moment before a smile broke out onto his face.
"Ok Sa-chan!" the swordsman cheered causing the girl to wish she could sweat drop, like in an anime.
'Takeshi...your mood swings aren't normal...'
xXxXx
...
...
...
...
And suddenly the door was kicked open.
"SA-CHAN~!" Shouted a voice causing the four teens that were previously doing their homework in silence to jump and/or scream and look at the door.
"D-Dr. Shamal w-what are you d-doing here?" asked a shaking Sakura.
Immediately said doctor pranced over to the white haired girl.
"You're parents called me! It seems you'll be spending the night with me since they'll be home late today~." the womanizing doctor squealed.
Sakura sighed, she hated spending time with the 'uncle' like family doctor.
"Um... are you sure? Can't I just go home..." the white haired girl asked as her orange orbs trailed down to the floor.
Shamal immediately swung his arm around the obviously uncomfortable girl.
"Now now Sa-chan, I'm just following your parents orders." the doctor sang before getting up. "Now hurry and pack your things, we are going to be visiting some people tonight." Shamal said cheerfully.
'Great, that means we're going to a bar. Now how the hell am I going to finish my homework.' Sakura thought with distaste.
Of course she would never say it out loud...
As Shamal left the room Sakura sighed but never the less proceeded to pick up her things.
"Oi woman! You aren't really going with that pervert, are you?" Gokudera growled out with a glare.
Sakura was a little surprised at the fact that the olive green eyed boy bothered to ask such a... caring? question.
"W-well, my parents asked him to take care of me so...yeah..." the shy girl quietly let out as her face began to burn under the gaze of the boy she admired.
"Nee, Gokudera are you worried about Sa-chan?" Yamamoto chirped causing said boy to immediately turn on him.
"IDIOT! Why would I be worried about her, I'm just wondering why she's so stupid to actually go with that damned doctor!" Gokudera yelled at the taller boy.
STUPID...
It seems that, that was all she would ever be to the olive green eyed boy.
So without even so much as a 'good bye' Sakura rushed out of the room, leaving the three boys in confusion.
'Maybe...going to the bar isn't such a bad idea...'
XxXxX
"I'm a little tea pot short and...hee hee~ I forgot the words." slurred a normally quiet and reserved voice of a certain white haired girl.
That's right.
15 year old Sakura Monogatatori, the shy, generally kind hearted, sickly girl was drunk.
Which was perfect for a group of high school boys who were looking for a good time.
"Well look what we have here." said the smirking boy as he stood in the way of the swaying girl.
"Hi there~!" chirped the drunk girl with an enthusiastic wave.
This caused the group of three boys to smirk.
"Well hello there, whats a girl like you doing out at a time like this?" the second boy asked as his eyes rolled up and down the young girls body stopping at her well developed breast (well as, well developed as a 15 year old could get...).
Sakura proceeded to give a dizzy like smile as she put a finger to her chin in thought.
"Eeeeeehhhh, I think I'm going home. Or maybe I'm not. Who knows~" she answered carelessly even giving the boys a sloppy twirl, almost tripping in the process if one of the boys hadn't caught her.
"Well since you seem a little...lost. How about you come with us? It's dangerous to be out alone at this time." said the first boy as he held the small girls arm.
"Yeah, you never know what might be out." Said the grinning third boy.
"Really, someone as cute as you might just run into trouble and get hurt." Said the smirking second boy.
Sakura frowned at the three boys.
"I don't know, you guys seem pretty shady and freaky looking." she answered bluntly, surprising the three boys.
Then they growled.
"Why you little-" the one holding Sakura's arm started as he raised his hand to slap the unaware girl.
"Oi! What the hell do you think you are doing!" Shouted a rough voice causing four pairs of eyes to snap towards the voice.
And there standing in the middle of the road, plastic bag full of convenience store bought food in hand and cigarette in mouth, was a furious looking Gokudera.
It took Sakura a few seconds to recognize the him, but it was no doubt that it was.
"Hey kid, how about you mind your own business!" Shouted the second boy of the group.
Gokudera growled and glared at the boy.
"That stupid woman is my business." the silver haired boy seethed.
"Aw! That's the nicest thing you've ever said about me Goku-kun~" Sakura squealed causing the glaring olive green eyes to turn to her.
"Shut up!" he responded before throwing his cigarette out of his mouth so he could focusing on the three high-schoolers. "I'll give you ten seconds to let her go and get out of my sight or else." the Storm guardian growled stomping on the fallen nicotine stick.
The three boys then proceeded to laugh.
"Oh please! It's three against one! What can you do?" the leader of the group growled as he roughly dropped the drunk girl on the ground.
And in what seemed to be like a blur, but looking back Sakura was sure it was because she was completely wasted, the three boy were beaten to a bloody pulp and the two teens where now on their way to Sakura's house.
"Idiot woman! Why the hell do you reek of Saki!" Gokudera shouted as he supported the drunk Sakura.
Said girl just let out a giggle.
"Shamal took me to a bar after I left Tsu-kun's place~!" Sakura proclaimed almost proud.
Gokudera almost got whiplash from how fast his head turned to stare at the smaller white haired girl.
"That idiot Doctor took you to a bar!" the taller boy wheezed. Sakura immediately nodded her head.
"Yup! Shamal said that Saki would help me drown my sorrows~ Oh look my house! HI HOUSE!" the orange eyed girl shouted as she jumped out of the shocked boys hold so that she could wave crazily at her house.
"Idiot! Stop screaming!" Gokudera hissed as he grabbed the girl and quickly ran to her front door.
After calming down the excitedly drunk girl the two proceeded to open the house to find it empty.
'Where is everyone?' The silver haired boy wondered as he explored the house while waiting for Sakura to finish her bath and changing.
"Ahhhh~ That water was soooo warm~" sighed a ditzy looking Sakura as she stumbled her way out of the bathroom.
"Dammit woman!" Gokudera shouted as he caught the white haired girl before she fell.
Sakura just giggled as the boy pulled her up straight.
"What were you so damn sad about that you had to drink so much?" The silver haired boy growled as he dragged the orange eyed boy to her bed.
"You." answered the girl nonchalant.
This made the boy freeze.
"BED TIIIIIIMMMMMMMEEEEEE~!" She sang as she jumped to her bed and proceeded to bury herself in the sheets that made up her bed. "Soooooofffffffttttttt~" She hissed as she continued to snuggle into her sheets.
"O-oi!" the bomber shouted as he proceeded to stomp towards the bed and rip the cover off of the girl.
"Cooooolllllldddddd..." She hissed as she tried to curl up into a ball to conserve her warmth.
But Gokudera wouldn't have that.
"Woman answer me!" He growled as he roughly grabbed the girl by the arm.
"Ow! Why do you have to be so mean to me Goku-kun?" The girl whinned as tear threatened to come to her eyes. This made said boy stop as he noticed the tears in the drunk girls eyes.
"What?" He stated.
Sakura sniffed softly as more tears gathered in her eyes.
"You are always being so mean to me and it hurts me so much because I really like you..." The girl slurred out as tears began to fall down her hyper will orange eyes.
Gokudera stared down at the girl in shock.
She...liked him?
Even after all the nasty things he had said to her.
"Goku-kun..." whispered the white haired haired girl.
Gokudera turned to face the girl only to suddenly find something soft and wet on his cheek.
"Thank you for taking care of me..." she whispered.
The silver haired silver haired boy stood in shock as he stared down at the now asleep girl.
xXxXx
The next morning Sakura couldn't help, but want to kill herself.
'How could I have done that...' Thought a hung over Sakura as she stared down at the warm cup of tea that had long since gone cold.
Normally the small hitwoman would have been in school, but due to the fact that she was already weak from the major hangover she had and the fact that it was heavily raining made it a very bad day for her to go to school.
'Dammit... he must hate me now...' The girl thought as she let out a small cough.
With the way things were going, she would probably have to miss the next two days of school.
'But I can't!' the sickly girl thought as her small hands tightened into fists. 'I have to do something' she decided.
So as quickly as she could the girl dressed in her uniform and threw on a thick hooded jacket, in hopes that it would shield her from the rain.
"Man, what an awful day to leave my umbrella at school..." The girl commented as she looked out the window at the rain with disdain.
But she had to do something...
XxXxX
'You are always being so mean to me and it hurts me so much because I really like you...'
Gokudera Hayato just couldn't seem to get those words out of his head as he sat in class, olive eyes fixed on the empty desk next to him.
He kinda figured that he wouldn't be seeing the white haired girl after what she went through that night.
"Gokudera, how about you read the next passage." The teacher suddenly asked with a glare.
It was obvious that the grown man knew that the silver haired bombers focus was else where today.
Which just made said boy growl, about ready to tell the grown man off if it wasn't for the sliding door of the class room to suddenly slam open.
Standing in the door way soaked to the bone was a pale faced Sakura.
Hyper will like orange eyes met surprised olive green eyes.
And then she fell to the floor.
"SAKURA!" Shouted the two voices of Yamamoto and Tsuna.
Said black haired boy immediately rushed to the fallen girls side.
"She has a fever!" the boy shouted as he felt the pale girls burning forehead.
"Hiiiiiiiiiiii! S-sensei! She needs to go to the nurse!" Tsuna shouted as he stood by the fallen Eclipse guardians shacking form.
Said teacher seemed to be in shock at the sight of the fallen student.
"I-i...I.." the grown man stuttered out making a certain Italian boy snap out of his shock as he growled loudly.
"Screw this!" He shouted as he grabbed the small girl out of the arms of the baseball obsessed boy and quickly ran out of the room ignoring the calls from his teacher and friends.
'Dammit you stupid woman!' the chain smoker growled as he quickly spotted the door to the nurses office.
He wasted no time as he kicked the door open causing the only occupant to jump out of his chair in shock.
"Oh, it's just you, I already told you I don't treat me-" the seemingly fine doctor began, obviously not noticing the small girl in the silver haired boys arms.
"SHUT UP! I don't need your damn treatment, but you need to help Sakura!" Gokudera shouted not even letting the doctor finish his sentence.
Immediately after that Doctor Shamal noticed the the girl in his arms.
"Dammit!" He cursed as he rushed towards a cabinet. "Hurry up, take off that wet jacket and put her on the bed, and make sure you cover her." the Doctor commanded as he gathered the supplies needed, and immediately began taking the girls temperature and other needed thing.
Gokudera watched as the man did a number of tests on the heavily breathing girl a small blush was present on the girls pale skin indicating just how severe her fever was.
"Well it seems that all she has is a fever, nothing more. I just don't understand why Sakura would go out in the rain." the Doctor started as he sat at his desk and began to quickly write down some notes on a medical chart.
"She's lucky that all that happened to her, considering her condition..." The man trailed off catching the silver haired smokers attention.
"Condition? What condition?" the bomber asked.
Doctor Shamal gave the boy a serious look.
"You mean you don't know?" He said before looking at the now calmer looking girl. "Of course she wouldn't say anything..." he said more to himself.
This just made the Italian teen growl as he shot out of his chair.
"DAMMIT SHAMAL! ANSWER ME!" He screamed making the room become silent.
Said Doctor stared at the olive green eyed boy.
...
...
...
Then he sighed as he stood up from his chair.
"Sakura has a disease called 'Nero Sangue', It was a disease that her grandmother, from her fathers side, had and died from." the man explained as he stared at the white haired girl.
"It's an illness that caused her blood to go black and eat away at her internal organs which caused her improper sleep and problems when it comes to eating. Sakura, though, doesn't have it as bad as her grandmother had it." The man finished as his gaze turned to the silver haired boy.
Gokudera was in shock at the information that was just presented to him.
This whole time he had thought that the girl was just weak and frail.
But the reason she was so small and frail looking from lack of nutrition, and the fact that the disease was eating away at her immune system.
The silver haired boy was in so much shock that he fell back into the chair he was once sitting in.
'Dammit!' He mentally yelled as he roughly ran his hands through his hair. 'Shit!' he growled as the hands in his head gripped at his skull.
Doctor Shamal stared down at the mess of a boy infront of him.
'Maybe now you'll understand...' the doctor thought before he decided to silently leave the room.
Maybe he would go flirt with that teacher in 3A...
Gokudera took no notice of the man leaving as he suddenly began to tremble.
'This whole time I had been calling her weak and useless when in reality she was the strongest out of us all! How could I have been so stupid!' the 14 year old thought.
Suddenly the boy thought of all the times he had ridiculed the girl.
Then he wondered if he was the only one who knew about the disease.
And finally he thought of the words from the night before.
'You are always being so mean to me and it hurts me so much because I really like you...'
The grip that his hands had on his head tightened even more as he remembered the tears in the girls orange eyes.
HE had caused them.
It was because of his words that the diseased girl was in even more pain.
But what killed him the most was after everything he did, she not even once mentioned a word about her sickness.
'Why?' He thought.
"Dammit" the boy hissed out.
"G-gokudera?" a voice suddenly whispered causing said boys head to snap up.
Once again hyper will like orange eyes connected with olive green orbs.
"I see..." Sakura said as she noticed the familiar look in the boys eyes. "You know now..." The girl finished as she looked down with a sad smile.
Gokudera stared at the girl.
And for the first time he noticed how truly frail the girl was.
"Why?" He whispered as his bangs shadowed his eyes.
Sakura refused to look at him.
"Dammit woman, WHY? Why didn't you tell me anything." Gokudera growled.
...
...
...
...
no answer
Gokudera quickly stood up causing the chair to go flying back, knocking a few things off of the side table.
Sakura flinched at the noise, but didn't say a word.
"ANSWER ME DAMMIT!"
"IT'S BECAUSE I WANTED TO BE TREATED LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!" She suddenly screamed making the silver haired boy stop.
Not once, in the time the boy had known her, did he ever hear the girl raise her voice.
A loud sob snapped the olive eyed boy out of his stupor.
"All my life people have treated me differently... all because of this fucking disease..." Sakura cried out as tears began to leak out of her shadowed eyes.
"Call me selfish or whatever you want, but when you came I was...happy..." she continued as a small smile.
Gokudera stared at the girl as his eyes softened.
"When you came, I thought that maybe, just maybe, you would be a person who would treat me like I wasn't some sick little girl who needed to be taken care of...it was selfish of me not to tell you but...but..." she continued before taking a deep breath.
And then she looked up as a look of pure determination came to her face.
"But that's why I liked you! You were the first person to treat me like a person!" she shouted only for her to go through a slight coughing fit.
"O-oi! Are you ok?" Gokudera panicked stepping closer to the girl.
"DON'T!" She suddenly shouted, stopping the boy in his tracks. "Just...stop..." she whispered.
Gokudera stared at the frail girl.
He thought about everything that had happened up to this point.
The battle with Mukuro.
The event with the Varia.
And even the mindless days.
Then Gokudera made a decision.
Hopefully it would turn out for the best.
"Sakura..." the boy said.
" Please Gokudera, I don't want your pity just-" And suddenly she was silenced by a pair of lips.
Sakura was shocked by what was happening and momentarily wondered if this was just a dream she was having.
But when something warm and wet suddenly brushed the bottom of her lip, she decided to worry about the thought later.
Slowly and hesitantly Sakura closed her eyes and parted her mouth a little.
She had never done anything like this before, in fact this was her first kiss.
So she followed the advice that her older sister like friend gave her a while ago.
'Remember Saku, as long as you relax and do what comes naturally you'll be fine. He can't ask for anymore than that.'
With that thought in mind Sakura suddenly found the urge to run her fingers through Gokudera's silver locks.
So as their appendages swirled around each other, with Gokudera doing most of the work since she had no clue what she was doing, her hands shyly played with the bombers hair.
But as the taste of nicotine invaded her mouth, the taste of strawberry invaded his the two teens realized that it was time to pull away.
And as the two of them pulled apart with heavy breath the guardian of Storm laid his forehead against the white haired girls.
"Stupid woman, why would I feel pity for someone as strong as you." Gokudera breathed.
And as his Olive eyes stared into her Orange eyes, Sakura couldn't help but feel like everything would be ok.
