She wouldn't tell him.
No.
Not today.
Not ever.
He was older than her.
And her a teacher!
Not her teacher, but a teacher!
What the hell had Ino been thinking?
"You make it way too obvious, forehead!" Ino cackled as she watched the pinket check out the older Uchiha as if no one would take notice. "You should tell him…" Ino mused innocently, "You'll never know. You're almost of age…"
Sakura sighed deeply as she made her way into class, her head clouded with a vortex of fantasies and irrational thoughts.
Of course, as cliché as it was, she would bump right into someone for not paying attention. "Gomen." She stated quickly, as she almost fell, only to have a strong hand shoot out and grasp her arm to keep her leveled. "Ah.. thank you!" She squeaked.
"Just.. be careful.. Sak-u-ra.." murmured a deep voice. Looking up, Sakura's whole face turned to the color of her very pink hair.
"My apologies, Madara-san!" She squeaked again out of embarrassment.
This caused the older Uchiha to smile, "If you wanted to touch me.. that's all you had to say.." He whispered into her ear as he passed by.
Of course, it was hard not to notice a pair of green eyes follow his every move whenever they were in your immediate proximity. To say the girl wasn't enchanting would be the biggest lie he could tell. Pink hair and green eyes, that would catch anyone's attention, but the fact that she was top of her class in every class she had (even those in which his bratty little nephew were in) was just so much more appealing. The fact that she was soon to be 18 didn't hurt at all, either.
A feral grin spread on his lips, "Come to me in two months.. and I'll take you under my wing.." he called over his shoulder, a smirk on his lips and his eyes flashing red for a moment.
