...A red thread binds my heart...

It is said that...two people will be tied by this invisible red thread by fate because no matter how far apart they are, Two people will find each other. Even though some are distant, some are close, some are involved. Sometimes messy, but this red thread will never be separated..

Many people have asked the question, “Why did I meet this person?” That's because fate will lead you to meet something unreasonable like this, no matter how far apart you are. You'll find a way to meet.

*Train station....

"Sasuke, hurry up, the train will leave.."

“....Yes.” The older man called his younger brother to follow him quickly in order to catch the train in time. While the younger man responded to Yan Chin's voice, he dragged his bag after his older brother.

*On the train...

((Clap~Clap))The train line in Japan's capital has started. Two Uchiha siblings have to move suddenly to the countryside. Konoha area...

Sasuke Dubbed

I'm sitting on the train with my brother. Actually, I don't want to move house. But it's really necessary. Because Mom said that it had been there since Grandpa passed away. There was no one to take care of the house or garden, so Itachi and I moved there... I don't really like meeting people... Luckily it was quiet there....

Now the convoy has entered the Konoha village area... This place is different from the city and has a lot of nature. This place is quite far from the city….

"Sasuke, we have to walk 3 kilometers from here...Let's hurry, it'll get dark." Itachi turned to me. Then we carried our bags and walked towards our new home....

"When will you arrive? ;" I'm starting to get tired. Because of the things I brought with me Itachi turned and smiled at me. Wasn't this guy tired?

"It's almost there. Take it easy...let's go in time to greet the neighbors^ ^" Are you more worried about your neighbors than your little brother?...

“Ah~It's here! Our house is next to this house....is that right? Just a moment...well, this one is it." Itachi muttered to the map his mother gave him...our house is far from other people's houses. very other There are only 2 houses in this area, including my new house....Then we walked into the house...

"Sasuke...shall we go say hello to the neighbors? I've brought some snacks." When we finished packing our things, Itachi invited me to the house next door, but that house seemed quiet... Is there someone or not?..Me and you stood and looked into the house that was next to my house..

“Brother, I don't think there's anyone there. The house is quiet.” I invited my older brother to come back because it was almost dark but the house still hadn't turned on the lights....

"........Uh..is there something wrong?" I heard a woman's voice coming from behind me and my older brother, so I turned to look.....!! A girl, probably the same age. As for her hair, she has pink hair cut short with bangs. Bright emerald green eyes...in one word, 'beautiful'.

"...?? Is there something wrong?" She tilted her head and asked cutely..Itachi and I were startled at the same time...I accidentally looked at her for too long..

"Oh!..Well, my younger brother and I just moved to your house today, so I wanted to come say hello to the neighbors^//^" My older brother answered her..

"....Yes..uh..that is." I was listening to what she had to say...

"My name is Uchiha Itachi, and this is my younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke^ ^" I stood quietly and let my older brother tell her.

“Yes..my name is Haruno. Sakura...nice to meet you..if you have any questions, you can always ask me^ ^” My name is Sakura..it's like the color of her hair.

"Yes..this is a souvenir," Itachi said...

"Sasuke! How much longer are you going to hold this?" Ah!! I forgot that I was holding a box of snacks... so I handed it to her and she took it from my hand. Her hands are very small and delicate...

"Thank you...then I'll bring you tea later..."

“It's okay. My younger sibling and I had already planned to bring this for you...well, I don't know if Sakura's father and mother have yet to return home?" Itachi asked her. She made a sad face or.....

"My parents have passed away..." !!!My brother and I were shocked.

“Then you're living in this house far away from someone like this alone?!” My older brother looked stunned and asked her if she hoped she had an older brother or younger sister...

"....I'm alone."

"Hoy!! So aren't you afraid? You're a woman!” Normally I wouldn't say that. But this is really outstanding. If a thief came and climbed into your house and raped you, what would you do? You crazy girl.

“I'm not afraid^ ^ because I'm used to it. The people here are not more scary than I thought.” I trust people too much.

“So?...Looking at you, you might be younger than me..Just call me Itachi-senpai..and call Sasuke just regular Sasuke. Because it's probably the same model^ ^”

“Yes..Then I'll excuse myself first. We haven't prepared anything yet," Sakura said. Looking at the school uniform I'm wearing, it probably is the school uniform I'll be transferring to tomorrow...

“Uh, wait..if you don't mind, could you take Sasuke to school with her tomorrow? I just happened to have business with an old friend.” Hey!! Brother! You can't leave me to go to school with these two pink-headed, sweet-smiling ladies! I turned to look at my older brother who was standing there smiling... Sakura made a stunned expression and adjusted her expression to be the same as before..

"....Alright...I'll see you tomorrow." That's all she said to me and me, then pushed the bicycle into the house and me and you walked back to our own house as well. Our house only has a wall. That's just the barrier between them.....

·The next morning...

((Jeep Jeep)) The sound of a little bird singing. Morning fog and the smell of the sun, new day...

©Sakura©

Yesterday evening, I just returned from school and arrived in front of the house. I saw two dark-haired men standing around my house, looking around. So I picked up a stick that was the right size for my hand. Then 2 people sneaked up behind them...but when I looked at them, they couldn't be thieves.. because I heard 1 of them say it first..

So I put the stick down and asked him carefully... and found out that he was my new neighbor that the villagers had told me about before...

I'm about to walk out of the house to go to school like every day....

“Hi…” A soft voice sounded behind me as I was closing the leaky door.

“Ah!!..Wow, hello Sasuke^ ^;” Why do I have to stutter!! Since when did he stand behind me??

"I'm sorry I startled you..." Sasuke looked at me and said. He is a very good looking man.

"It's okay...Uh, how is Sasuke-kun going to school? I only have one bicycle," I said. Because I saw him carrying only a black leather bag. But I didn't see the bike..

"Well, I didn't buy it. You just ride and I'll follow you." I'm becoming selfish like that...

“If you don't hate me...uh. -//-Sasuke-kun, you can use my bicycle..Yesterday Sasuke-kun walked a long way and probably got tired." He stopped when I said that...and then adjusted his expression like old

“Then you sit in the back of the class...is that ok?”

“Uh...-///-..” Then I handed the bike to Sasuke and then he put his bag in the basket. I went up and sat on the back of the bicycle. I felt something strange. I don't know. -///-

"I'm going to go now..." he said and prepared to ride his bike...

"Yes..." I answered and Sasuke spun. I sat tensely in silence. Besides Naruto, I've never sat on the back of anyone's bike...

The front is a steep slope...I hope they don't make me hug a tree- -;

“Uh...Sasuke-kun. Be careful in front.” I warned him first. He turned around and looked at me like, "I trust him." Something like that..

"Go away!!! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!" !!! Naruto's who ran in front of me this way!!!

"Hey!!/Scream!" Sasuke and I chorused. Because the car lost control ((crash!))

Done... 2 bikes collided together and fell into a pile in an awkward manner. Naruto was lying down. As for those 2 people?-////- .....

"........." Sasuke was silent......

"......Oh~Ah!! 0/////0" Sakura cried out because she was on top of Sasuke... Their eyes met just in time. Their faces were very close before when the car lost control. Sasuke knew that he would definitely bring Sakura down so he grabbed the thin body first. To keep her body from hitting the ground...

“....(-///-; )Uh...heavy floor..."

"Ah!!!( -////-) I'm sorry," Sakura startled herself. Then he immediately got up and got away from Sasuke.

"I'm sorry Sakura-chan!!...Did it hurt anywhere? I'm sorry." Uncle Naruto came up. Then hurry and see your girlfriend. before turning to look at Sasuke

"I'm fine... You should go apologize to Sasuke-kun," Sakura said to Naruto. But Sasuke stood up and picked up his bicycle...

"Uh, sir...I'm sorry." Naruto walked over and apologized to Sasuke.

"Um...it's okay..just learn to be careful with your back, you idiot- - .."

"Hey!! Well, I'm sorry now..." Naruto was not happy that Sasuke gave him such a nickname. Then he said it in front of Sakura, the girl he secretly liked. It made him feel lost.

"Calm down Naruto...it's you." Sakura walked over to separate Naruto who was holding Sasuke by the collar but Sasuke just stood there and didn't do anything...

"Tch!...I'm so selfish of Sakura.." Naruto cursed softly while Sasuke looked at Naruto with the corner of his eye and his typical mischievous expression...

"Then let's hurry up and get to school...Oh, this is Sasuke-kun, our new neighbor who just moved here yesterday. And Sasuke-kun...this is Naruto. My friend^ ^” Sakura introduced the two of them to each other, but neither of them seemed interested...just walked away quietly pushing the cart.

Finally, the three of them walked to the school... The eyes of the school children looked towards the three of them. Keeping his eyes fixed on Sasuke. People they don't recognize...

'Oh, that man is handsome>///<'

'That's it..it looks really good'

Naruto could hear the chatter of girls looking at Sasuke. So he pursed his lips and looked at Sasuke, who had a calm face and didn't care about anyone...

Sakura and Naruto walked into the classroom and then....

((Clunk)) The sound of the door opening rang out.

"Today's student has a friend who has moved in to come study in this room as well.." The young teacher's voice spoke to the students who were talking loudly in the room. I stopped talking and immediately turned my attention to the teacher who walked in...

"Come in," Kakashi turned to the students who would be studying here....

'Scream, so handsome><' The girls' voices screamed when they saw the black-haired boy. Onyx eyes walked in.

"Take it easy, kids...introduce yourselves," Kakashi said.

“...Uchiha..Sasuke.” A cold voice spoke and his eyes fell on a figure who was silently reading a book.

“ok..

So we already know each other...but where should we sit???" Kakashi said and looked for a seat for Sasuke...

"....I'm sitting over there..." Sasuke said and pointed to an empty spot... Kakashi followed Sasuke's finger.

“J...

Good choice...Haruno! Please make a new friend^ ^" The person who was mentioned was startled and turned to look.

".....Yes." Sakura replied softly. Then Sasuke walked over and sat next to her...

They were both silent and didn't say anything. Sakura didn't understand. Why did Sasuke choose to sit next to her? Even though she tried to sit quietly and not really care...

"Hey Sasuke..my name is Ino. This part is ten and this is..Hinata. Nice to meet you." Ino turned towards Sasuke and introduced herself and the friends sitting next to her. you...

"Um..." Sasuke replied softly in his throat...

“Oh..that's so cold> < But..why do you want to sit next to this girl? Be careful, this girl already has a reservation...don't mess with her..or else you'll get hurt. I'm a woman and I'll still get attacked." Sasuke listened to Ino speak...and Sakura didn't. Interested...she was alone from the beginning......

Ino turned her attention to studying. Sasuke sat quietly staring at the little man. She hadn't spoken a word to him since he walked into the classroom.........

A pair of eyes were sitting quietly staring at Sasuke. He didn't like people messing with the girl he booked...even if it was a girl who was Sakura's friend. He was dissatisfied and this was a man......even more angry.....

*Continue

After school...

".....Let's go home," Sasuke said while Sakura was putting things in her bag. Today, she and he went to lunch together. and talked sometimes Sasuke, who just moved here, has no friends and doesn't like chaos. So he stayed with Sakura who couldn't speak much....

"Yes^ ^" Sakura answered him and they both walked out to get the bike that crashed into Naruto that morning that the uncle next to school had fixed for them...

"Here, Uncle, the cost for repairing the bicycle." ((Suddenly)) Sakura, who was handing money to the uncle who was repairing her bicycle, Sasuke suddenly hurriedly handed over his money instead.

"I'll pay for it myself..." Sasuke said and handed the money to the uncle. The uncle took the money from Sasuke and stood smiling at the pair.

“Young man really loves his girlfriend^ ^”

"!!!!Uh...that is, he's not my boyfriend." Sakura was startled and hurriedly spoke up, while Sasuke stood silently and didn't say anything. That uncle scratched his head. Smiling at the two of them

"Oh, I'm sorry. Uncle, I thought we were lovers. But the two of you are very suitable for each other^ ^” Uncle said to Sakura but stood quietly and kept her shy expression. Sasuke too..

"Haha^ ^Then I'll be back first. Thank you." After Sakura finished thanking the uncle, Sasuke was the one riding the bicycle. By having Sakura ride behind him as usual.....

"Sasuke, if you don't mind, can I stop by the shrine on the hill first?" Sakura said.

“I don't know the way. Please show me the way...." With that, Sakura pointed the way to Sasuke.

When we arrived, it was actually a shrine on a hill. As we walked up, we saw a beautiful view of the city. Sasuke followed Sakura up and up. There was a red thread tied all over one of the poles. Sasuke turned to look at it and wondered why there was a red thread tied with a stick with the names of two people attached to it......

"Let's worship together, Sasuke-kun^ ^" A clear voice called the young man to go worship at the shrine with her....

Sasuke walked over and sat next to Sakura. As she clasped her hands together in prayer and closed her eyes in prayer, he could only stare at the image the woman had made with disbelief. She seems to be very determined....

"Ah! Sasuke, why don't you make a wish? ... Here, when anyone comes to make a wish, your wish will be granted," Sakura told Sasuke. Then he tried to pay respects and make a wish. Sakura smiled at Sasuke who was such an honest person.... Then he opened his eyes and turned to look at Sakura who was sitting looking at him...

“!!! -///-I'm sorry...we'd better hurry home, it's getting late." Sakura was startled when he turned around and caught her eye and she invited him home....

The distance is not very far, but the road is winding and quite steep. But Sasuke wouldn't let Sakura come down and walk... finally reaching home.

"Oh Sasuke, Sakura...that's so nice~ We really got close quickly." As soon as they stopped in front of the house next door, Itachi, who was standing in front of the house watering the plants, greeted him.

"Hello, Itachi..." Sakura greeted him. Sasuke handed Sakura's bicycle back to her and then walked into the house without greeting his older brother who was standing in a good mood watering the plants in front of the house.

"....Sasuke is like this, always cold." Itachi said to Sakura who was standing in front of the house confused by Sasuke's attitude.

"Yes....then I'll excuse myself first^ ^" With that, Sakura walked into her own house.......

*Time 11:00 p.m.

It was very quiet here at night. All the houses several meters away had their lights turned off... Sasuke and Sakura's houses as well...

((Building, building, building, building!!!)) A loud sound came from Sakura's house. Sasuke, who was sleeping in that room, heard the sound. Made him open his eyes but not turn on the light....

He walked slowly towards the back of the house where there was no leak between his house and Sakura's...

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~" Sakura's muffled voice that Sasuke remembered well sounded like she was resisting. Sasuke was shocked and made a decision. Kicked in the door of Sakura's house.

((Bang!!!)) The picture he saw was Sakura was tied hand and mouth by a man who looked familiar, like he had seen her face before.

"You release Sakura!!!" Sasuke said to the person holding Sakura...

“Huh....This matter isn't about you. New kid...don't interfere!!”

“Probably not. When you play dirty like this! Women really don't care!!” Sasuke said to the man.

"Huh...I just came to take Miss Sakura back to her family....If you don't believe me, ask her." After the person who claimed Sakura was Miss He removed the cloth covering Sakura's mouth.

"No!! I'm not going back! I'll stay here...don't mess with me, Gaara!!" Sakura said helplessly. She was no ordinary orphan. She is the grandchild of the Haruno family, which is very powerful in this city...

"No!! You have to go back and marry me!!" Gaara said as he followed Sakura all along. and prevented her from having friends pressure her to allow Sakura to return to marry him in the big family.

"No!!! I don't love you at all! Let me go...there are many better women than me," Sakura said to Gaara. She confirmed in a harsh tone, which made Gaara very unhappy...

"Why Sakura!! Are you going to such trouble to not marry me? Haha!!!" Gaara raised his voice at Sakura and squeezed her chin until it hurt so much that she cried out. Sasuke couldn't stand looking at that picture. He then rushed forward and punched Gaara.

((Wow!! Thump, pound, pound)) They both punched each other. And in the end Gaara was defeated and he stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. As for Sasuke, he hurriedly came to untie Sakura and took her thin body to embrace her...

Gaara gritted his teeth in resentment. Looking at the heartbreaking picture in front of me

"Huh....if I can't get it...no one can!! I'll get rid of your lover." Gaara's fury He picked up his gun and aimed it at...Sasuke.

((Bang!!!)) The sound of gunfire rang out. And a body collapsed with blood....

“!!!!! Sakura!!!!/ Sakura!!!!!” The two called out the name of the person who received the bullet at the same time. Sasuke piled Sakura's blood-covered body onto him. When Gaara pointed his gun at Sasuke She saw this and quickly put herself in front of Sasuke before Gaara could pull the trigger...

“Sakura!!! I'm sorry. Ugh!...Because of you!!” Gaara couldn't accept the truth because of his anger. Make things like this...

“!!!!!Sakura!!..What happened Sasuke!!” Itachi heard the sound of the gunshot and he rushed over to take a look and what he saw made the tall man's face turn pale. Sasuke cried out. Then he firmly hugged Sakura. We really just met but had to face something like this. Sakura took her blood-covered hand. Gently caressing Sasuke's face. Then give a small smile

he.....

"Thank you for being able to come and be friends ^ ^;" Her weak voice tried to speak to Sasuke, what she said made him shed more tears... .

*Continue

After Itachi came to see the incident, he rushed to ask for help from the villagers, asking them to bring Sakura to the hospital as soon as possible....

At the hospital, Sasuke and Itachi were waiting for the doctor to come out of the emergency room. As for Gaara, he had run away home... Sasuke's white shirt was covered in Sakura's blood. Before Sakura lost consciousness, she asked Sasuke: 'Thank you for being my friend' Those words had been ringing in Sasuke's head all the way that he had taken the ambulance to get here.....

"Sasuke...Sakura will be safe, trust me," Itachi said to his younger brother who sat with his head bowed silently. ...Not long after, the doctor walked out of the emergency room. with a worried face Sasuke saw this and hurriedly walked over to ask.

“Doctor, how is my friend?!”

“....The bullet hit an important point. The patient might be Sleeping Beauty. The doctor isn't sure yet.” The doctor who performed Sakura's surgery told sasuke Because Gaara shot right into the middle of Sakura's back.

“....The patient is very strong. If you are her friend Encouragement will help her recover^ ^” the doctor told the two brothers who were listening.

Then Sasuke and Itachi He walked into the patient's room. Sakura's thin body was covered in wires. A face that looks rosy Instead, he looked pale and white from losing a lot of blood. Sasuke walked over and sat in the chair next to Sakura's bed. He took her hand and held it if she didn't shield herself from him. You don't have to be like this.

The more he thought about it, the more guilty the young man felt..... Itachi looked at the picture and understood Sasuke's feelings. So he walked over and patted his younger brother's shoulder gently....

“Don't blame yourself, little brother...if Sakura finds out. She will be disappointed in you.”

“....but that's where she got shot. It's because of me." Sasuke replied as his older brother Itachi let out a heavy sigh.

“Then I'll go back and prepare some clothes for you. Can I take care of Sakura alone tonight?" Itachi said because Sakura didn't have anyone... Sasuke nodded softly to his older brother. Itachi then walked out of the room...........

"Sakura..I want you to wake up...I made friends when I didn't want it to be like this. Please," Sasuke said to Sakura who closed her eyes tightly....and with sleepiness. Sasuke then fell asleep on Sakura's bedside. In spite of the hand Hold her hand tightly.......

It's been a full week since Sasuke came to see Sakura and she still hasn't woken up.... Itachi was the one who arranged the leave from school for his younger brother. Some friends come to visit Sakura from time to time. As for Sakura's family, No one has come to visit her...and since the incident. Gaara didn't come to school either...

"...Oh..Dad, Mommy." Sakura's voice sounded sleepy, causing Sasuke who was lying face down on the side of the bed. She looked up and saw Sakura move her hand slightly.......She was on the floor!.. ..Sasuke thought to himself, extremely happy. He immediately ran to tell the nurse and then rushed back to the room...

"Sakura..." Sasuke softly called her name and held her hand.... Sakura slowly opened her eyes. She blinked quickly against the white ceiling.. Smells cool, clean and medicinal. Let her know she's at the hospital. Sakura turned to look at the person standing next to her bed. A handsome face that at first looked cold, but this time it looked bright and happy......

"Sasuke-kun..." Sakura softly called out to Sasuke. She gave him a small smile.

(((Glitch))) Sasuke embraced the little person who made him I'm really worried. Sakura was shocked that he suddenly hugged her. It's a feeling that She had never received it from anyone before...this feeling was as warm as sunlight, knowledge and joy. like in this world It would be just him and her....Sakura reached out and embraced Sasuke as well....

((Add))) When the doctor opened the door, The two of them released their hug and the doctor walked over to check on Sakura's condition, with Sasuke standing not far away.

“The patient is conscious. There are no worrisome symptoms. The wound may take time. The doctor will have the patient do physical therapy. Because the stomach was hit in an important place, causing the muscles in the left leg to become weak... in another 2 days, we should be able to go home." The doctor explained to Sakura and Sasuke. Then the doctor walked out of the room...

"How are you Does it still hurt somewhere?..." Sasuke walked closer and asked Sakura. She shook her head at him in response.

"Could you please give me some water?" Sakura asked. Sasuke then walked over and poured water into a glass and adjusted the bed for her to sit on more comfortably. Make her drink water Sakura was a little embarrassed because she had never had anyone take care of her like this....

“Ugh! Haha.” Sakura drank too quickly. She choked, so Sasuke quickly took his handkerchief and gently dabbed at her mouth.

"You can drink it slowly...it's all messed up." He gently chided her. Sakura didn't say anything. But her heart was pounding too fast. ....This feeling was.... She looked at Sasuke's face, who was silently wiping up water that had spilled onto her shirt when the young man felt that he was being watched. He raised his head to meet the eyes of that pair who were looking at him....

Onyx eyes looked deep into bright green eyes, a handsome face moved closer to Sakura's beautiful, well-shaped face. The warm breath you could feel at the tip of your nose. Before the young man's thin lips gently touched her thin lips. His warm tongue slipped into her mouth to taste the sweetness of the woman's mouth. Sakura closed her eyes to absorb the sensation. given by a young man...

(((add)))

"Sasuke, I brought some apples..." Itachi opened the door, holding a fruit basket in his hand. He almost dropped it when he saw the scene where his younger brother was kissing the cute little girl next door....

“Ah!! Brother Itachi -///////-..” Sakura broke the kiss and greeted the new arrival. Sasuke quickly got up from the bed and turned to face away from his brother....

">///< I just got here and I didn't see anything. Haha^///^" Itachi pretended not to notice. Because he knows now His younger brother, Sasuke, blushed even more. The red apple he brought...

"How are you, Sakura?...What day did the doctor tell you to go home?" Itachi put down the fruit basket and walked nearby to ask Sakura.

"Two more days^ ^ Thank you very much, Brother Itachi," Sakura said, but Itachi smiled at the corner of his mouth and turned to look at his brother. Sitting in the chair across from him, he picked up a book and read it, covering his red face....

"You have to give that word to Sasuke, Sakura...Did you know that my younger brother misses school every day to watch over you^ ^" Itachi said. Sakura turned her head to look at the person next to her who refused. Put the book down for a moment. So she put her hand down and slid the book down. Let's see Sasuke's face...

“!!!! (-////- ) W-What's the matter...” Sasuke looked away from Sakura and spoke up. It made Itachi almost unable to hold back his laughter at his younger brother's condition.....

“^ ^ Thank you very much Sasuke-kun. You're here to take care of me," Sakura said.

"Ummm -///- Well, you shielded me from the bullets. I must repay you." Sasuke said, but those words made Sakura feel guilty in her heart...

....If Sasuke-kun hadn't come that day, I would have been dragged back to the big family by Gaara, and I would have been the one causing him all the trouble because of me..... Sakura thought and looked sad. Sasuke then turned to look at Sakura, who had tears in her eyes and the tip of her nose was starting to turn red. Because I was holding back tears...

"!!Don't cry. It's not your fault...that guy," Sasuke said because he could understand Sakura's thoughts.

“I'm sorry...sorry~

T.T” 

Sakura said to Sasuke Finally she cried. Itachi sighed before standing up. Then he gently rubbed Sakura's head.

“Sigh~ Don't think too much, little one^ ^...Then I'll take care of this for you....Get some rest and I'll come and visit again...Sasuke, you brought us some clothes. Please take good care of Sakura^^” Itachi finished speaking and walked out of the room.

When the older brother walked out Sasuke then walked over and sat on Sakura's bed and reached out his hand to gently wipe away her tears. He smiled at her. To keep her from thinking too much... His heart was shaking right now when he got close to Sakura. He wants to be the one to protect her, doesn't want her to be alone again.....

2 days have passed. Today the doctor gave permission. Sakura was able to come home 2 days ago. Sakura did physical therapy. With Sasuke helping her walk even though there was actually a nurse taking care of her. But he wouldn't give in. He will rule her himself....

"Sakura, are you finished yet..." Sasuke asked Sakura as he was waiting for Sakura in front of the bathroom. Let the young woman go in and change clothes to go home.

"Yes..." Sakura answered and opened the door from the bathroom. She was wearing Sasuke's t-shirt. The one Itachi had brought was so much bigger than her that it could turn into a nightgown. Underneath, she wore her own shorts because she couldn't fit Sasuke's pants. It's very loose....

"Does it look funny?" Sakura asked Sasuke. Because he stood and looked at her for 2 long periods.

“No...I didn't expect her to be this small...”

“.....No. Sasuke-kun is bigger^ ^”

“......Um...let's go. My older brother paid all the medical bills," Sasuke told Sakura. and carried the things for her

"Then I'll get it back for you later," Sakura said. Sasuke shook his head at her softly.

"No need....I don't need the money."

“Huh? You can't. I'm really worried-"

"I said no need to!! As long as you're okay, that's enough...." Sasuke said helplessly, not knowing why he had to be so angry. Sakura didn't understand his emotions much. So it was better for her to walk quietly....

"Sorry...for raising my voice to you...I was just worried..." Sasuke decided to speak his mind and Sakura turned to look at him and smiled at him. until the young man's face turned red

....That smile is too dangerous for me-////-..... Sasuke thought.

At Sakura's house The house was scattered with the things Sakura had thrown at Gaara when he broke in. Then the stains of her blood all over the floor, Sakura saw, thus the picture. events that occurred It appeared that she was afraid that she would have to face a situation like this again....

"Put up your clothes..." Sasuke's voice sounded from behind Sakura, snapping her out of her reverie.

“...???Pack up my clothes??...” Sakura repeated again. Sasuke sighed softly and stubbornly walked into Sakura's room and scooped up her clothes along with her school uniform. Come out... Sakura stood still, not understanding that action....

.....What will he do?.... Her head was all dizzy...

"I'm going to take you to my house with Itachi...come." No matter what, he used his other hand to drag Sakura, who was standing in shock, to follow him.

“I can't!! I can't live in the same house as you." Sakura stopped walking and spoke.

“Why....why can't I stay?!”

“W-Well, I'm a woman. And besides, our houses are just next to each other,” Sakura reasoned.

"So what?...Do you want to experience that again? Aren't you afraid?" Sasuke's words made Sakura flinch.

"Huh....no need to say too much." Then he dragged Sakura to continue walking.

(((Add))) Sasuke opened the door to the house. Sakura followed closely behind.

"Oh, you're here...welcome Sakura^ ^" Itachi who was preparing dinner said when he saw Sakura.

“Yes^ ^; I'm sorry to bother you...but-..."

“Don't be afraid..I also want to have a younger sister. Having a cold younger brother is boring. It's good to have a younger sister^ ^" Itachi said.

"yes..."

"I'll let Sakura sleep in my room," Sasuke suddenly put Sakura's things away. said Sakura startled and her eyes widened.

...0.0!!!Sh-Do I have to sleep in Sasuke-kun's room....((Tuk Tak Tuk Tak)) The sound of Sakura's heart pounding loudly when she thought like that.

“Ah~Sorry Sakura. This house only has 2 bedrooms...let's eat first^ ^" Itachi said. Sakura didn't answer because she thought Sasuke might definitely go sleep with Itaj.. ..

The three of them finished eating and Sakura walked over and washed the dishes and overturned them properly. Before going to take a shower and change into her pajamas....

(((Jingkong)) The doorbell rang as Itachi sat reading a book. I went to see...

“Hey Aiji...there's an exam tomorrow. Tonight we agreed to come tutor at your house.” Pen Itachi's friend spoke up.

"uncle ; So come in first. And what did you bring with you so much?” After Itachi brought his 8 male friends into the house and asked his friends who each brought a large bag.

“They said I would come and stay at your house too. Please help^[ ]^” Sasori said and smiled at Itachi who had his mouth open and hadn't said a word yet. His friends had already reserved space in front of the house......

Sasori walked into the kitchen to get something to eat..

“Ah!!! Who are you?” Sasori turned to see Sakura and she was shocked too…

"Uh…" Sakura said, stunned. Sasori narrowed his eyes at the smaller man who had a shocked expression on his face.

"Are you Itachi's girlfriend???...." Sasori asked.

“No! I'm your neighbor."

“Hmmm?? So..^ ^Umm..she's cute. Do you have a boyfriend yet?” Sasori walked closer to Sakura and asked directly.

...What a cute girl..I can't let her slip away like this...<< Sasori thought and walked towards Sakura until she was close to the wall. Sasori raised his hand to stop Sakura from escaping. he...

"Let go of her...." A cold voice said as he walked in and pushed Sasori away. Sasuke looked at Sasori's face seriously.

"Your girlfriend, Sasuke?..." Sasori asked. Sasuke didn't say anything. He walked over and took Sakura's hand out of there. Leave it to Sasori. standing with a smile on the corner of the mouth

“Where have you been, Iso...” Pain asked his male friend who walked over in a quiet voice.

“Little smile, big smile like that. What do you mean? Hmmm?” Dei asked as Sasori walked over to sit with her friends. This caused everyone including Itachi who was reading the book to pay attention as well...

"The pink-haired girl in your kitchen...is cute. I like it," Sasori told Itachi, causing his friends to turn and stare at Itachi.

“What do you mean, Itachi? Are you a woman?..." Pain turned to speak to Itachi.

“No, that's the kid next door. She had just had a bad encounter with me and my younger brother, so I brought her to live with me. It's for safety," Itachi explained to his friends.

"Oh...was that the one that was shot the other day?" Hidan spoke up because the news was quite popular.

"yes"

"Hoy!! A descendant of the Haruno family who ran away from home to escape marriage. With the Sabakuno family's son!.." Hidan spoke again. This made Itachi look suspicious.

"Then what is the matter? I want to know," Itachi said.

“Sigh!..Haruno Sakura, the only granddaughter of the Haruno family. She lost her parents last year after that. She was forced to marry Gaara. The 3rd son of the Sabakuno family, but Sakura refused. Because she doesn't love him Gara has a personality that doesn't fit into society and likes to use power to oppress. So she ran away and was alone.

I didn't expect you to be here. The clan was looking for you!! But Gaara wanted to take you back himself. So I don't think that doctor To do something like this..." Hidan told Itachi about Sakura.

"So the story is like this?...Well, I kind of understand that kid," Itachi said. Then they all continued studying until late at night.

"Hey, I'm going to sleep in your room tonight," Pen said to Itachi timidly.

"Me too/Me too" Sasori and Deidara said at the same time and walked into Itachi's room.

"Tonight, we'll all reserve a sofa. Good night." Hidan, Kakuzu, and Zetsu each reserved a long sofa.

“Tobi, please.

TwT

Where do you want Tobi to sleep~” The forgotten Tobi spoke up.

“Sleep on the floor!!!!” My lovely friends said in unison... Then Tobi graciously agreed and Sasuke suddenly walked Sakura into the house.

“......Uh...Sasuke. Tonight, my room is full. Can I sleep with Sakura? ^ ^;” The elder said to his younger brother.

".....Then I'd rather go home and sleep tonight!" Sakura said and was about to walk out.

((Hold!)) Sasuke grabbed her hand. causing Sakura to turn around as usual

"You're sleeping here..." Sasuke said and led Sakura into the room. He didn't know that Sakura's heart was racing.

...I have to sleep in the same room as Sasuke-kun>///

In Sasuke's bedroom

Some bodies were lying rigid next to the young man who was now falling asleep His breath and the rhythm of his breathing Listen and look normal. I'm not excited about anything.

Unlike Sakura, right now she was afraid that the sound of her own heartbeat would wake Sasuke up.

" >.<; " [We can't sleep like this!] She gripped the blanket tightly. before lying on his side with his back turned to Sasuke who was lying on his back.

(((Hold)))

"Ah!! 0[]0" Sakura was startled by Sasuke suddenly grabbing her and hugging her tightly. It was as if she were a pillow.

"Ngue, ngue, ngue (0//~//0), are you sleepwalking?" Sakura drowsed alone before gently trying to remove his hand that was hugging her waist. without waking Sasuke

">///< Ngh~ So tight." She couldn't remove his hand so she was forced to let it continue like this. So she had to close her eyes to sleep........and finally she did..

The next morning....

(((Jeep Jeep))) The sound of birds singing in the morning. This made the tall, black-haired figure slowly open his eyes to adjust to the light shining through the window.

"....Sakura, what about you?" When Sasuke walked into the living room, he saw Itachi. who was sitting together with his friends

"I woke up and asked ^ ^ I went out to buy things and saw that there was still something missing. I don't know. And I saw her face turn red too. I don't know if I'm sick or not. I asked and they said no at all." Itachi said.

"!!! where!! How could you let her go? It's dangerous. She just recovered herself!”

“Calm down, you're not far away. I estimated that if it was another 15 minutes. Sakura hasn't returned yet. I'll go out with my friends. "Wait! Where are you going!?" Itachi asked as Sasuke stormed out.

"I'll come!! Go after Sakura!!!" He shouted to his older brother who was sitting with his friend in a gaping position.

(((Building Building Building ))) Sasuke ran out to follow..

"Hey! Itachi, this is your younger brother. Looks like you really like that sweet girl." Pain said, causing Sasori, who was sitting with him, to pout. Until friends can clearly see

"Probably... Sasuke seemed to like Sakura from the first time he met him ^ ^ I'm his older brother, I can tell," Itachi said.

"And this is I-Hia So. What does that mean with a face like spoiled rice?" Hidan asked Sasori. Until his friends turned to look at him with glaring eyes.

"Shit! Don't bother me!" Sasori said and turned away.

"Hey! Hey! Don't tell me you like that pink-haired girl too?" Pen said, then they all narrowed their eyes at Sasori, avenging the truth.

"..Yes!! And why?! ( -///-)" Since Sasori was cornered He said it directly.

"Hoy!! What is it, Mr. So! Normally, you never look at girls...so why did you fall in love with that sweet-haired girl? Hmmm?" Deidara asked, hugging his neck in shock.

"That girl is so cute! -3 Shit!"

"Ah~ It's going to turn into love 4-5, isn't it sad? I really feel sorry for that Sakura girl," Pen said before shoving all the rice balls into her mouth. Itachi let out a soft sigh.

[It's a little difficult, Sakura. Sigh~] Itachi thought to himself before picking up tea and drinking it to relieve his stress on Sakura's behalf.

Konoha Bridge 1

Sakura's thin body Walking around humming a song... This bridge is not far from her and Sasuke's house. The little figure was walking towards the market in the city.

"Hmm~Huh~Hmm~~ ^ ^ " (( Building~Building~Building~)) The sound of Sakura's footsteps walking up the wooden bridge. crossing the canal to the other side It's the route that goes into the city. which she will go to the market

(((Building, building, building, building!!))) ((Huh!))

"Ah!!!" She was startled when someone's hand suddenly grabbed her arm. When you turn around I met a young man who was looking at her with wide eyes.

"S-Sasuke-kun~ ^ ^; What's wrong?" She asked him in a trembling voice. Because he knew what she had done wrong. Why does he have to look at her like this? It's because you came out without telling him a word...

"Why didn't you come out and tell me?!" ( -"- )" Sasuke shouted at Sakura. She made a face of remorse and then dropped her head...just went out to buy something on her own. I don't think it has to be this fierce... Sakura thought to herself.

Sasuke saw that Sakura was repentant. He let her arms go free and let out a soft sigh.

“So where is this going? "Itachi said you came out this morning," Sasuke asked quietly. Sakura looked up and gave him a wry smile.

"Uh...that is. This morning, I stopped by the shrine. Actually, I planned to go to the market. Go buy some supplies.."

"...So..."

"Ah! However, I must apologize to Sasuke-kun once again. That's what makes me worried. I didn't tell you," Sakura said softly.

"Um...you're going to the market, aren't you..go," Sasuke said and he walked Sakura towards the market.

The little body hasn't gone anywhere yet. Because he was standing there confused as to why Sasuke would follow her even though he had already told him where he was going.

((Gulk!)) The tall figure stopped walking when he saw that Sakura had not yet followed him.

"Are you going to stand here for a long time? Or do you want me to drag you home?" Instead of going to the market." Sasuke turned and said. Sakura was startled and walked over immediately.

The two walked side by side until they reached the market. There are many people walking around. Most of them are people in the area. who are both sellers and buyers, and they know Sakura very well As for Sasuke, who just moved here recently Plus he rarely leaves the house, so it's not strange that everyone turns to look at him. Walking with Sakura A cute little girl with a good personality who has a smile and her kindness.

Beloved by the people here...

'Look! Is it that young man? He said he was Sakura's boyfriend. The granddaughter of the Haruno family.

'Yes, this is the person. I saw that they said they moved from the capital. They look appropriate.'

'Oh, I see you live in the same house too. Definitely got pregnant before getting married...such a shame. Still really innocent'

gossip Make Sakura hear So he could only walk with his head bowed. As for Sasuke, he turned to look and hammer at those people who dared to say something bad. Of course, the person who was damaged was not him, but the young woman. A small figure walked beside him.

"Don't think too much...I won't let anyone gossip about you badly...I'll take responsibility myself," Sasuke said and rubbed Sakura's head gently. Let her stop thinking too much.

" ^ ^ Yes." Sakura smiled at Sasuke. before going out to buy all the things she intended to buy

"Here's water." Sasuke handed a bottle of water to Sakura as they sat by a large tree to rest. Sasuke sat down next to Sakura. who is opening a water bottle And I'm drinking...

"Thank you very much Sasuke-kun..^ ^" Someone turned around and smiled at the young man who was looking at her. When Sasuke saw Sakura's smile, He felt his heart beat faster. ((Tuk Tak Tuk Tak))

!!... (-///-;; ) ( 0 . 0 ?) ..... Sasuke turned his head away from Sakura to the other side. But he didn't move anywhere. ....I'll let you see that he can't be shy!.....

Sakura made a confused expression. Seeing Sasuke avoiding her

...Sakura saw Sasuke's ears turn red and took it upon herself to reach out her small hand. Paste it on his face. Whether he is sick or not...

"!!! W-What are you doing to her, you idiot! -//-" Sasuke was startled and spoke up. Until Sakura immediately removed her hand from his face.

"Ah! I'm sorry! I saw Sasuke-kun's ears and face turn red. So I checked to see if he was sick.. because Sasuke-kun didn't get to leave the house often. And then came across the hot sun like this I'm worried. I'm going to get sick soon." Someone quickly said the reason. Even if it's true That you did that But it's not that She won't be embarrassed...

"Uh..I'm not saying anything..I'm fine...then let's hurry home. Itachi will be worried." Sasuke adjusted his expression back to normal. before standing up and extending his hand to Sakura

(((Shock!!))) She grabbed Sasuke's hand that was extended to help herself up. Sasuke took the bags of food that Sakura had bought and carried them all himself. Then we walked home together.

Sakura walked beside Sasuke. I couldn't help but smile a little at the cuteness. In his feelings he couldn't.

" (~ v ~)  "   <----

Sakura smiles brightly~

" (-_- )...." Sasuke looked at Sakura who was smiling beside him.

"What's with your smile?..."

"Eh!! Pa-No!~Yes ^ ^; Haha..." someone said and hurriedly walked in front of the curious young man. ((Tuk Tak Tuk Tak)) Sakura's heart raced and she walked faster. Afraid he'll catch that you're shy...

When Sasuke saw that the girl's face was red. It indicates that she is shy. He smiled softly at the corners of his mouth. It's not that he doesn't know. That Sakura secretly looked at him as she walked next to him. Because Sasuke secretly glanced at her as well...

It's not finished yet. There's still 40% left. Read it until you're full!! This isn't a short story, haha.
