Ch 5: Rest is Needed

Start from the beginning
                                        

With that said she shut the door and locked it with a sealing jutsu for good measure. It was meant to block germs and other microbes. She bet it would block Sasuke's dad out no problem.

Naruto burst out laughing. On screen Sakura just called Sasuke's dad a germ. He was dying, oh my god, it was too funny. He couldn't keep it together. He was rolling on the floor between Itachi and Shisui who both sweat dropped. It wasn't that funny.

Sakura got another kiss from Sasuke this one discreetly placed on her cheek. She blushed, smiling lightly. She felt a slight chuckle rumble from Sasuke's chest. It seemed he was just as amused as Naruto by her thought pattern.

Fugaku merely raised a brow at the screen. He did not find it humorous. This girl's disrespect was astounding. It was actually starting to piss him off.

A few minutes passed along with some curses and grumbling before she saw shadowed feet move away. She paused as there was a hesitant knock not coming from the door but the window across the room. Sakura glowered, there was Sasuke's older brother perched in a tree.

"Sasuke's brother sure is smart. He must have figured out the door wouldn't be an option real quick."  Tenten commented.

"Perhaps, however I don't believe Sakura will be more inclined to open the window and let him in." Neji shook his head.

"Yes, I agree! Just look at her face. Sakura is packed with the righteous fury of her youth! Send him packing Sakura! You can do it!" Lee cheered her on.

Itachi hoped he didn't get smacked out of the window. Even if he could make the landing it was most likely going to hurt. Lee's cheers weren't giving him much hope.

If he thought the no visiting rule didn't apply to him too she was going to tear him a new one. Sasuke. Needed. Rest. How was he supposed to be relaxed when he was being watched all the time? His family really was the worst. Emotionless when he needed support, and clingy when he absolutely didn't need them and wanted to be alone. She opened the window and was about to give Itachi a piece of her mind but he put his hands up in a placating gesture.

"Good move," Naruto nodded sagely. "She would have punched you out of that tree if you hadn't put those hands up."

"I gathered." Itachi sweat dropped. "She seems very violent..."

"She is very violent." Sasuke corrected, arm resting over Sakura's shoulders. "But we love that about her."

Naruto nodded furiously in agreement. When they weren't on the receiving end anyways.

Itachi didn't comment on anything more, but he was left to wonder if Sasuke really felt the way that Sakura's animosity was depicting him to. They weren't the worst family out there were they? What did she mean none of them were ever there for him? They were at the hospital in the middle of the night.

"You can't see him either." Sakura glared.

Itachi was hurt by that. Truly he was. Recalling earlier how Naruto and Sakura had also stopped him from checking on his brother in the audience. He felt an arm around his back and he looked at Shisui. He was giving him a look that could only mean there was nothing that could be done. He knew he was right but still, he wanted his brother's significant others to come to him if Sasuke was injured or hurting. Not keep him away. He was his big brother. How could they feel such a need to shield Sasuke from him?

"I just wanted to thank you for saving him. I heard from the Yamanaka girl that you were supposed to be off duty."

"Guess Ino must have seen that whole thing too." Shikamaru frowned.
