Sasuke observed the pink haired girl while she was eating – no, gobbling- the fifth pancake in three minutes. It must have been a new world record.

That girl…from the moment she woke up she was annoying him a lot. More than anyone else he had ever met. But there was something that was keeping him from throwing her out from the moment she got in the bathroom til now. Something he couldn't put his finger on. It was the same thing that made him bring her to his house when she fainted.

He rested his chin in the palm of his hand and narrowed his eyes. Her hair were short and messy, her skin was pale and creamy. The fact that was surprising him was that she didn't smell particularly bad, even if she lived in the streets.

"Thith pancaketh ae ahehome!" she almost shouted with her mouth full of pancakes. Sasuke closed his eyes and counted to ten, before taking the small piece of chewed pancake that landed on his cheek.

"Tch. Don't talk while you eat" he told her and crossed his arms on his chest.

"Okay Uchiha" she told him and smiled before taking another bite. She looked around her for a bit. "So…what did you family say when they saw me here?"

"They were just surprised" Sasuke only said. Truth was they were too surprised. While his mother wanted to help her, his father was kind of against it, saying that she could be dangerous. His brother didn't say anything in particular.

"Oh, I hope I just didn't cause any trouble" she said and looked into his eyes. Sasuke's heart started beating faster. Those eyes…it was like they were controlling him. He shook his head and took a big breath. This girl is trouble.

"Don't think about it" he stated. Sakura sat back at her chair patting her belly.

"Woah, it's been a while since the last time I've eaten so much" she told him and smiled at him. "Thanks."

Sasuke felt his cheeks starting to burn and looked at the floor trying to hide it. "Whatever" he muttered.

The girl put her elbows on the table and rested her chin on her knuckles. "Uchiha, I-"

"Call me Sasuke" the words spitted out of his mouth. He noticed her cheeks slightly turning red and mentally slapped himself. Dammit, dammit, dammit! "I mean" he tried to explain his sudden outburst "there's no reason for formalities."

"Well..okay then I guess... You can call me Sakura too" she told him kind of nervously.

"Hn" The conversation seemed to get to nowhere and that kind of bothered him, without knowing why though.

Sakura stood up and took a breath. "I guess it's time for me to go…" He saw her face darkening and a sudden pain was triggered in his stomach.

Then his face brightened. "You need clothes" he stated and walked to the stairs slowly, so she could catch up with him. What's wrong with me?, he thought as she followed him saying "Oh yeah right!" in a joyful way. Why am I acting like this?


Sasuke's steps were far wider than Sakura's, and that's why she had to run up the stairs in order to catch up with him. There's no need for formalities, his deep voice echoed in her head. This guy was something else. Damn you hot bastard with the sudden good personality outbursts, she cursed him inside her mind, although she couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in her stomach.

It's not like you are gonna meet him again anyway, she heard a small voice inside her head and Sakura dropped her head and sighed. She suddenly bumped into something and realized Sasuke had stopped walking as they had arrived in front of a door.

He turned his head and his face was emotionless. "Make sure you don't touch anything in here." Sakura raised her eyebrows in surprise. "Eh okay?" she told him and he turned around again opening the door. What the hell? Are there two different Sasukes or something? She thought and narrowed her eyebrows in confusion and annoyance. What was wrong in that guy's mind?

Sakura stepped into the room and looked around her curiously. It was a storeroom that was for sure. There were things here and there, many of them stored into boxes that had paper tape on them naming what each box was containing. One of them was saying "Sasuke's old toys" and an other one was saying "Itachi's elementary school books", as Sakura noticed.

Wow his mom must be a very organized person, she thought guessing all this had probably been done by a woman. Sakura looked at Sasuke who had opened a closet behind the boxes and was searching for something, the clothes he would give her in particular.

Sakura stared at him and crossed her arms. He looks cute, that little voice from before told her inside her mind making Sakura smirk. Even though he was kind of bastard, she had to admit it.

He sure does.


You need to stop. That was what he had been repeating on his mind after deciding that the girl was troubling him too much, and that needed to immediately stop, unless he wanted another outburst like the one in the kitchen.

He searched into the clothes at the bottom of the closet and picked up a pair of jeans. He unfolded it and looked at it. There's no way my mom can fit in these, he thought. Don't get him wrong, Mikoto Uchiha was not a fat woman, she was actually pretty fit. But there's quite a difference in the clothes she was wearing when she was in her twenties, and the ones she is wearing now, in her late forties.

His eyes searched for a T –shirt suitable for Sakura. But would a T-shirt be okay for her? It was the end of summer after all, autumn was about to start. Would she be okay? What if she caught a cold if it rained?

Sasuke shook his head and repeated inside his mind; don't get involved emotionally with the situation, just get the thing done. He let a breath and grabbed a green T-shirt he saw with the tip of his eye. Feelings meant weakness, and Sasuke was fine with the way he had been all these years, until that girl – Sakura – showed up to turn everything upside down.

He turned around and saw her looking around the room. When she saw that he had turned around, she looked at the clothes at his hands. "Are you sure it's okay if you give them to me? I mean I don't know if I will be able to return them, and even if I do, they will smell and-"

"Sakura" he interrupted her and her eyes looked at his. He felt his face burning as he realized he had said her name for the first time. "It's okay to take them" he slowly said shaking his head.

"Thanks" she said avoiding eye contact with him as she was taking the clothes from his hands. She looked around her. "Is there anywhere where I can put them on?"

"We can go to my room" he suggested and then re-thought what he had said, mentally killing himself now, because it sounded totally wrong. "You will go in, and I will be out of the door."

Sakura laughed. "Yeah, I got that don't worry. But we don't have to go back to your room, I can change here if there's no problem.". Sasuke felt like someone punched him right on the face. Her laugh...even if it was short...It felt like the most beautiful thing he had ever heard.

And that was enough to make him close his eyes and clench his fists. He gave the clothes to Sakura and walked to the door, accidentally bumping on her shoulder. "Make it quick" he briefly said and closed the door behind him.

He let out a breath he didn't realize he had been holding. His back slid slowly on the door and he put his hands on his face, rubbing his eyes with his palms. What kind of spell does she use on me, for God's sake?, he thought and tried to bring back the emotionless Sasuke who didn't care. A Sasuke who seemed to be buried under the thoughts of her since he met her last night.

Act like your usual self, he told himself , Make her hate you. Sasuke narrowed his eyes. Did he just call himself a bastard? He dropped his face, feeling hopeless.

Just wait til she finishes changing and she will be gone, a little voice in his head told him. Right. Wait until she finishes changing.

The reality slowly hit him. She is changing clothes behind this door. Various thoughts started filling his mind, which were not practically good.

Sasuke slapped his self for real this time. I am fucked up.
