Cookie Monster Lover Club

A/N: Hi guys! Thank you so much for the follows, favs, and reviews. Means a lot! Also to reply to the AnnoyedReader, I totally get what you mean now! Your reviews really helped with my development in my story. Without further ado, let's start this chapter! :-)

Start Of Chapter Five

Sakura and Sasuke opened their eyes. Sasuke was only inches from her nose. He could smell her sweet cherry blossom sent. Her body suddenly felt hot. His attractive black eyes met her pretty green ones. Their breathing were both hitched. A blush engulfed Sakura's fair skin. They were...on top of each other.

Sakura didn't know what to do, either scream or daze off into his dreamy eyes. Her skin started to heat up, of embarrassment. Before she knew it her whole face was red. All Sasuke could think of was her getting off of him, and finding a way to get out of class.

On the other side of the field stood the angry Karin Uzumaki. Her face was as red as Sakura's, but with a different emotion, anger. After a few seconds, she remember what happened to Sasuke, before Sakura fell on top of him, he fell. Her anger slowly faded, to affection, and rushed towards the two.

"OH SASUKE-KUUNN~" The red-rimmed glasses wearing girl whined. Karin kneeled down to the two, and pushed Sakura off without hesitation. Sakura's attention which was currently on Sasuke, quickly changed to the sudden jolt, causing her to fall of of Sasuke.

"Whoa!" Kiba said in surprise.

"That was unnecessary. Why? Because…" Shino droned on.

"That bitch!" Ino piped loud enough for Hinata, Gaara, and Temari to hear, but not Guy-Sensei.

"Someone had to do it." Temari shrugged, "Or they would be on top of each other all day. I personally would have volunteered to tear those lovers apart."

Hinata looked at Temari confusingly for a few seconds, Lovers? The young heiress thought.

"SAKURA-CHHANNN!" Wept the loud Rock Lee, who sped towards his love like no man's business. He knelt down besides her trying to sit her up, and then hugged her.

At the same time, Karin hugged Sasuke, who was still on the ground. "Oh, Sasuke! Are you all right! Aww sweetheart!" He practically laid on the soccer field as she sat there hugging him. He would have naturally shrugged her off of him, but he didn't give a rat's ass at that moment. He had to think quickly on how to get out of the class.

In less than a few minutes, the whole class surrounded them, including their teacher.

"Sasuke-kun, Sakura-chan? Are you okay?" He knelt down between them.

Sakura slowly nodded, however at that moment an idea struck the Uchiha's mind. He quickly sat up, surprising Karin who was embracing him, and he looked at the class with a blank expression. Everyone gazed at him confusingly.

All of a sudden Sasuke screamed in pain. Holding his left knee, rocking side by side slowly.

"Oww!" He fake cried.

Everyone looked at him, and sweat dropped. They all wouldn't of thought that a seemed to be tough guy like him, could act like that.

"What a woos…" Suigetsu murmured to himself.

Sasuke, who heard him, stopped yelling for a few seconds, gave him a deadly stare, then continued. Suigetsu just looked at him both a little confused, and feeling a bit awkward.

"Ohhh! Sasuke-kun!" Karin cried, putting her arms around him again, "Too bad that evil girl hurt you!" Karin stared as Sakura for a few moments, causing the pinkette to feel as awkward at Suigetsu.

"Young man, can you walk?" The enthusiastic gym teacher, believed his act.

Sasuke nodded, "I think so."

Karin then quickly stood up, "I'll take Sasuke-kun to the nurse."

Sasuke then smirked. This went exactly as he planned.

"Wait sensei! Look at Sakura's knee." TenTen mentioned, then the whole class examined the girls bloody knee.

Sakura looked down to her knee in surprised. She didn't even feel herself get injured, until TenTen mentioned it. Before she knew it, she started to feel the sting of pain.

Ino then smirked, she also had an idea, "Sakura-chan should go to the nurse with Uchiha-san, Karin shouldn't be missing class taking Sasuke to the nurse. It's like killing two birds with one stone." Karin gave Ino, her own death glare, but Ino just smiled at her, causing the redhead to grimace in anger.

The bushy-browed teacher nodded in agreement, "Sakura-chan can you stand?

Sakura nodded.

Rock Lee hugged Sakura, "I'll wait for you on the other side." He whispered to her.

"It's not like I'm dying Lee, anyway please get off of me." She lightly pushed Lee off with a smile.

In just moments, the two stood up and started heading towards the nurse's office, followed by Karin's menacing stare, and Lee's worried look from afar. Sasuke walked with ease, causing the rest to wonder if he really was hurt. The two walked a few feet apart, Sasuke not caring much, but for Sakura was the only thing she could think about. She hated how she couldn't keep a conversation with a person, and always tried to engage in one, but this time it was different. Her heart beated fast, what was happening to her? She never had this feeling before. She was usually so comfortable with people. It was just that Sasuke had this aura, around him that made him look distant, and cold.

A few minutes passed, as Sakura was about to take a left, and Sasuke went straight on.

"Uchiha-san, where are you going?" She asked in curiosity, "The nurse's office is over here."

The Uchiha turned to look at her, to see that she was correct. It was his first day at school, and he still didn't know the school as well as others. He did go to nurse's office only once, just to drop Naruto off. "Hn." With that he followed her.

The two walked in silence again, until finally Sasuke decided to say something, "Don't call me Uchiha-san."

"Huh?" Sakura looked at him."

"I'm not into formalities, besides people call my brother that, just call me Sasuke." He then walked ahead of her.

"Oh...okay." She then rushed to catch up to him. At that moment Sakura smiled.

Call him Sasuke. She thought. Just by those words, she felt relax. It was as if the barrier of distance was broken a bit. It wasn't much, but she felt relieved.

For the rest of the walk Sakura started talking to him, asking him simply questions, like how he liked the school so far, and what he thought about it. He answered both questions with one word, interesting.

They made it to the door of the nurse's office, and Sakura was about to open it. Suddenly Sasuke's hand held her forearm, stopping her. She looked up at him, with a slight blush caused from his sudden touch..

"Can you wait here for a second; I would like to talk to Naruto for a few minute in private."

"Oh…" She forgot that Naruto was in the nurse's office. She cringe in disgust remember all the things he did today, she really didn't want to interact with him anymore today. "Okay sure."

Sasuke let go of her and knocked on the door, then opened it slightly, "May I come in?"

In a few seconds Sasuke entered the room. Sakura sighed then leaned on the wall, and wondered what he had to say to Naruto. Just as she was doing so, the nurse exited the room, and then noticed Sakura.

"Oh Sakura-chan! I didn't see you there, why are you just standing here?"

Sakura explained why, with a sweet smile.

"Oh! I'll treat your injury in no time! Let me just get some coffee at the teachers' lounge, it will only take a few minute. I really need the caffeine after staying with that blonde-haired demon all day. " The nurse joked, "You really did a number on him, huh?"

Sakura blushed, and giggled at the statement, and the nurse left for her much needed coffee. As she left she wondered, how Sasuke would get treated without a nurse, but shrugged it off.

A few minutes passed, the bell rang signaling the end of the period. Sakura whistled a familiar tune to herself, to pass time. Then the raven-haired man, walked out the room. Sakura stopped whistling, and looked up at him. He was smiling, his smile all of a surprising made her smile. His smile was contagious in some strange way.

Quickly his face changed to his usual blank expression, which made Sakura frown on the inside, "You can go in now."

"Okay." She said as she headed towards the door as Sasuke went the other direction. "Wait! Are you okay now? You should wait for the nurse to treat you."

"Hn?" Sasuke turned to her, "Oh I'm fine."

"Wait what how?" The young woman turned to face him.

With that he left towards the boy's changing room, to change back into his uniform.

Sakura looked at his back as he walked, she had no idea what he was as a person, but something inside her wanted to find out who he was.

She entered the room, and was greeted by a smiling Uzumaki, in a weird fist-pumping pose. She looked at him awkwardly, and he did the same with her. The two looked at each other for a few minutes, not sure what to say to each other.

"This is embarrassing…" Sakura and Naruto said in unison.

The looked at each other surprised.

"Whoa we said that the same thing at the same time" The two said together again, Sakura quickly covered her mouth in surprise, and Naruto did the same.

"Wait stop saying what I'm saying." They said simultaneously again.

This is so weird the two thought. How the hell could they say the same thing at the same time? Then the two finally thought of a spontaneous thing to say, that they thought no one would ever think of saying.

"WATCHING COOKIE MONSTER WHEN I WAS LITTLE WAS MY LIFE!" The two piped up at the same time. They gasped. They looked at each other in surprise, and then they did the unexpected. They laughed.

They laughed so hard their stomachs hurt, tears started forming in their eyes, and they couldn't feel the pain from their injuries.

Sakura couldn't take it anymore, and decided to sit down next to where Sasuke was sitting previously to rest from laughing to hard.

"That was sooo weird!" Naruto chuckled.

"I know right! What are the chances of two people saying the same thing four whole times?" Sakura giggled.

"I mean who thinks of saying "Watching Cookie Monster was my life when I was little"?" The blonde lay back on the coat to relax from the hardcore laughing.

"Cookie Monster was amazing back in preschool though!" Sakura wiped the tears from her beautiful eyes.

"True that! My mom would always turn on the TV just so I could watch him."

"Oh my gosh same!"

The two then spent fifteen minutes talking about how great Cookie Monster was, and how it was like in preschool. It was like they completely forgot about the tension they had towards each other.

"So what are you in for?" Naruto asked the pinkette, after admitting to her that he still had a Cookie Monster toy in his teenage bedroom.

"Oh I fell down, and scraped my knee." She lifted up her knee a bit to show him.

"Oh that sucks, how did it happen?"

The moment he said those words Sakura flushed, thinking about it. The image of her on top of Sasuke almost made her mind drift to other places, almost making her nose bleed.

"You okay there?" Naruto noticed her blushing face.

"Oh! Umm, well it's a long story." Sakura scratched the back of her head laughing.

"Oh okay!" Naruto smiled towards her, about to scratch the back of his head himself, but stopped due to his hurt arm. "Owww" He sighed in pain.

"Are you okay?" Sakura looked up to face him.

"Yeah I'm cool, my arm just hurts that's all."

Once he said those words, Sakura was soon full with remorse. With the little time she got to talk to him, he didn't seem as scary and stupid as she thought he was. He actually seemed like a normal person.

"Sorry about earlier." Sakura looked down to her folded hands on her lap, "It was really rude of me to start a fight like that."

Naruto smiled faded, and looked at her. This was a first time he knew someone truly apologized to him. Sure there was times when his guardian, Jiraiya, and Sasuke would apologize to him, but it was either an apology forced by the Uzumaki or a loose one. He felt strangely happy, as if his goal that he had towards his new school life was partly met. That he had another friend. In his expectation of high school life was to find new friends to bond with, maybe fight a bit, but then apologize to each other. Like in manga and anime he usually watches and read. He then remembered the words Sasuke said to him before Sakura came in.

I have friends, huh? Naruto smirked at his thought. It wasn't official that Sakura and he were friends yet, but it felt nice to see her as one.

Then he smiled again, "Heehee! It's nothing; I get hurt all the time anyway!"

Sakura looked at him and smiled in relief. She was scared he wouldn't accept her apology. "And I'm sure Hinata was sorry too." Sakura remember what her best friend did to him, "She's a really nice girl, I'm sure it was an accident." Even though Naruto should have put his hands to himself, the Haruno wanted to say, but decided not to.

"Hinata…?" Naruto looked at her confusingly.

"Oh yeah, you must not know her name, since it's the first day." Sakura smiled sweetly, "She was the girl that pushed you."

Suddenly Naruto's confused face was fully red like a tomato. His heart fluttered for some strange reason, he didn't know why. "O-oh so her names Hinata, huh?"

Sakura nodded.

A few seconds passed in silence as Naruto scratched his red cheeks.

"U-um sooo…" Naruto started to say.

"Hmm?" Sakura inwardly thought he seemed different, but shrugged it off.

"S-so, u-umm."

"Yes?"

"D-does your friend...admire me?"

Sakura's facial expression quickly changed to unbelievable confusion, "WAIT WHAT!"
