Chapter Six: Unexpected

"The best love story is when you fall in love with the most unexpected person at the most unexpected time." –Unknown

.x.

Sakura let out a deep sigh as she continued down the hospital corridors. Its not that she was tied, just the fact that Sasuke was in her office was making her stressed.

Who knows what he doing in there! Yeah, why do you think I'm stressed?

Realizing that there were no more people on her roster she decided that she would finish for the day. She had probably made Sasuke wait long enough, it was getting dark outside. So she continued back to her office, let the awkwardness begin.

"Hey Sakura, wait up!" A male voice yelled from behind making her stop and turn. "Thank god I caught up with you, youthful flower of spring."

Rock Lee stumbled behind her, carrying a bouquet of flowers.

"Oh, Hi Lee." Was all she could say before he went into a ramble. She had absolutely no idea what he was saying, he looked so nervous. She resisted the urge to chuckle.

He must have noticed her confused look, stopping and taking in some deep breathes. Then slowly he mumbled out,

"Will you go to get Ramen with me?" Sakura felt slightly bad, not wanting to hurt Lee's feelings.

"Uh, let me think about it. I just need to go to my office." With that Lee nearly rocketed through the ceiling. What would he have done if we said yes? God knows…

Quickly turning she left the excited Lee in the hallway, making her way to her office. When she arrived the door was still closed, and Sasuke chakra was still inside. Good! But that didn't stop her from still being a little hesitant.

Finally pushing the door open she revealed a relaxed looking Sasuke. He was lounged across the sofa, a book in hand.

Though, the one thing that made this image strange was that Sasuke had a smirk on his face. Darting her eyes to the cover of the book she noticed why.

"Jerk." She yelled, storming across the room and snatching her diary out of his hands. The smirk remained on his face as he sat up, staring at her form.

"Well its not as if you told me not to read it." He pointed out bluntly. Man this guy pissed her off. She could practically feel the rage pouring out of her.

"Besides," He continued, "It could hold valuable information about who followed you that night." Sakura thought for a moment, she had almost forgotten about being attacked. Though thinking about it did make her angrier, not a good situation for Sasuke.

"Doesn't give you the right to go into my Diary!" She spat.

"Tch. Touchy, or should I say emotionally expressive." Dammit. He had gotten that far into it.

"Ah!" Her fist hit the desk, causing a large dent. Reminder: fix that later.

Rage blurred her vision, and next moment she was out in the hall. Somehow she had taken off her coat in the office. Sasuke followed, keeping a safe distance. She couldn't blame him though. When she got mad, she was scary.

Walking, or should she say, Stalking into the Lobby she saw Lee still jumping with joy in the corner. Creating a small mischievous smile on her lips.

"Hey Lee." She waved, getting his attention. "I would actually love to get ramen with you!"

Lee stood there in shock, taking in reality before fist pumping into the air. Sakura looked out of the corner of her eye to see a stunned Uchiha. His mouth was actually agape, showing his emotion for the first time.

Either he noticed that or her staring because he snapped it shut. Making her smile grow wider. Hell yeah Uchiha, that's karma!

And with that she ran home. Hell, she sure had a dress for this occasion.

.x.

Sasuke had no idea how long they had been at the ramen shop, but he knew it was too long.

The way Lee was all over Sakura, making her laugh with his stupid jokes was making him sick. Just sitting close to them was proving too much of a challenge. But he wouldn't give up! No way would he move first, it would be that thick eye browed weirdo who would pick up on his signals soon enough.

He could feel his own chakra turning sour at the though of him close to her. He didn't really know why but it pissed him the fuck off.

Could he count this as an attack? He was her bodyguard after all, he needed to protect her from these types of weirdoes.

Swiftly he moved closer to Sakura. Lee was on the other side, diverting her attention with his bullshit story. He looked down to see her hands on her lap. Good!

Though after staring Sasuke had a though. What would Sakura do if he held her hand? Not in a loving type of way, just in a possessive way. Then maybe Lee would back off and they could go home.

Gaining some courage Sasuke pulled one of her hands off of her lap and into his. Feeling how her tiny hand fit perfectly into his big one.

He felt her jump out of shock, but then try to pretend she didn't. Damn her and her cuteness. And he gripped her hand more tightly.

Noticing what happened Lee stuttered on his sentence, quickly cutting the story short. Which was a positive, as Sasuke didn't know how much more he could take before his head exploded.

Realizing that Lee was saying his goodbyes Sasuke gave a brief nod. On the inside though he was practically flipping. Mission accomplished. And with Lee gone it left Sasuke alone with Sakura, there hands still intertwined.

He turned to see her face bright red. And she thought she would get back at him by going out on a date with Lee. Stupid girl.

When she stood up he copied her movements, placing some money on the counter. And turning, he pulled her outside and onto the street.

They began walking home, more slowly than he normally would have. Maybe it was because he liked the feeling of holding her hand, or because it took a lot longer to pull her there. Either way he didn't seem to mind.

The streets where empty as they continued silently, not really looking at one another. Both only glancing down at their hands. But when their eyes did meet he saw her cheeks flush with embarrassment.

"Damn you Uchiha." She mumbled out.

"Looks like I win this round Sa-ku-ra." And for the first time, he actually smiled.
