Recap:

I walk away, sign in, and then walk behind the counter. I hear the bell on the front door go off. Hello welcome to. Hey Sakura.

It's Him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My hands immediately started to shake. "What's wrong Sa-ku-ra?" every word banged against my ear drums. "You are supposed to ask me what I'd like to order." He smirked. "Y-yes I'm sorry what would you like, sir?" I watched his moves carefully, he placed his right pointer finger to his chin while carefully browsing. "Umm I'll take espresso." I type in his order, "Will that be everything?" He goes over our menu once again, but more focused on our pastries. "I'll take a blueberry scone and that will be it unless you are on that menu." I roll my eyes and type in the rest of his creepy order. "That will be $3.75." he handed me exact change. "You can go ahead and pick a seat and I'll bring you your order."

To my surprise, he happily walked away. I'm still feeling uneasy, the aura this man gives off is not pleasant. Shaking off the uneasy feeling I complete his order and carefully take it to him. I place it neatly infront of him. "Enjoy!" He took a sip of the espresso with his eyes closed. "Mmhm, its really good. Thank you." I bowed in respect, as it is customary, and walk back to the register. I quickly look over at Sasuke and his mom and they seem to be deep in conversation. I sigh and look down at the counter. 'What am I going to do about this guy?'

Beep-Beep

'My phone?' I carefully take my phone out of my pocket and see a notification from my email account. 'The WIFI company? What do they want?' I open the email and quickly scan over its contents, my eyes slowly widen, and I quickly look over at Sasori and see him staring at me. I quickly look down to re-read.

Dear Miss Haruno,

We received your call this morning and us at Konaha would like to properly apologize for the missed call! Can we schedule an appointment early in the morning? Sorry for all the inconveniences.

Sincerely, Konaha Wi-Fi

'No freaking way! How is that possible? ...So the police werent lying he doesnt work there.'

His stares became even heavier, it felt like I couldnt breathe. "Sakura?" 'I-Im being suffocated.' "I wont call your name again." I shook myself out of my thoughts and look up to see Sasuke standing infront of the counter, I put on a fake smile. "I'm sorry, how may I help you?" He looks at me stern, "What's wrong?" 'He is asking whats wrong?' "N-nothing I was just lost in thought, Im sorry." Sasuke quickly shrugs it off, "Black coffee." "Umm yes right away!" I quickly type in his order and turned to start on his cup of coffee. I finish and gave him his to-go cup. He places a 20 on the counter, "Keep the rest as a tip." My eyes widened at his generosity. "Wow, thank you!" he nodded and walked back over to his mom.

Not long after Sasuke walked away Sasori walked over. "Here." He handed me a 20. "What is this for?" "I forgot to leave you a tip." He winked at me. "O-oh thank you." He leaned in and I just look down at the register. "Anything for you." All I could do was look down. "look me in the eyes when Im talking to you." His sternness shocked me. I slowly looked up at him. "That's a good girl." He reaches his hand up and he grazes my cheek with his fingertips. "I'll see you later Sa-ku-ra." 

He left, he actually left. I fell to the floor, "SAKURA!" I blacked out.

Sasukes POV:

"Mom, Im serious. I dont want to talk about this right now. We can talk about this when we get home. We are in public, I dont feel like having an argument in front of strangers." Mikoto sighs in response. "Okay, but when I get done here and get home, you better be ready for a discussion." I roll my eyes and turn to walk out of the café and to my surprise I hear a thump followed by my mother screaming Sakura's name. I quickly run over behind the counter and lay her head on my lap.

"Sasuke, hurry and take her to the back and lay her on the Table!" I nod and carefully pick her up and take her to the back where I place her gently on the table. Soon after my mom runs in after me, placing her wrist on Sakura's forehead. "She's burning up..." without any instructions I grab a rag and dampen it with cool water and wring out the excess. I bring the rag over to Sakura and place it on her forehead. "Um what do we do... what do we do?!" "Mom, calm down. Lets get her phone and call her parents." She nods. I feel around and finally find her phone. Surprisingly she doesnt have a lock on it, so it was easy to access. 'Only three contacts? Dad, Mom, and Naruto. I'll try her mom first.' Went straight to voicemail. 'Ok then, I'll try her dad. Again, voicemail. Like hell am I calling the yellow haired idiot.'

"Mom, no one is answering." "That's ok, we can take care of her until she comes to. Sasuke, did you notice anything different about her?" I nod, "She was spacing out more than usual." Mikoto places her hand on my shoulder. "Please watch over her while I watch the shop." I only nodded in response. Mother walked out of the back and went into the main part of the store. 'This girl is more than a handful, so annoying.' A single tear streams down her face. "What happened to you?"
