ItaSaku: You're No good For Me

Finally...

Sakura's POV:

"I'm home..." I softly called into the house and to my surprise my mother greeted me back. I took off my shoes and walked into the living room where she was reading a book, most likely a romance. My mind flashed to the talk I had with Itachi and I needed advice badly. Before I opened my mouth, mother closed her book and asked me to sit on the couch. Instantly my suspicion rose and I raised my eyebrow at her. She just smiled and set her book down beside her.

"Sakura, I've noticed you've been quite down lately. Do you wanna tell me what's wrong?" She asked, the sickly-sweet mother tone she was using made me feel bad. I know I've been down and probably distant in their eyes but sometimes it just happens. With the suspension and now this whole ordeal with Itachi, I was exhausted. I nodded and she waited for me to explain.

"Me and Itachi are... having problems. I'm just not sure what to do." I felt my eyes water and instantly wiped any stray tears, I was done crying.

"I won't know what problem to help you with if you don't tell me dear..." She said softly to me, prompting me to go on. I took a deep breath and forced myself to keep a steady breath.

"His father wants to send him away to a basically better school, you know so he could have a better future! So since I didn't want to hold him back, I mean I know he's a freaking genius and all. I... I cut it off. Maybe when he leaves he can find a better, smarter girl for him. I mean I'm just me! I know I have good grades, practically the best in my grade but... is that really good enough for him?" At the end I was sort of rambling to myself mostly, but despite that she gave me a kind smile and laughed at me.

"Oh honey... you're looking far too much into this. Here let me ask you this, do you still want to be with him?"

"Of course..."

"And does he want to be with you?"

My head shot up at the question, the sudden realization of how stupid I've been. My insecurities getting in the way of something that made me truly happy. My eyes watered again as a sad smile came onto my face.

"Yes... he does."

Another soft giggle.

"I guess you have your answer then huh?" She gave me another motherly smile and shooed me off to do my homework. I knew I wasn't going to do that until later, for now I had to plan. My mind was going hundred miles a minute thinking of things I could do. I know the simplest would be to just text him but then there would be other problems. Like the fact I cussed out his father that still really got to me. I wanted to fix things first, between me and Fugaku and just in general. I didn't want this relationship to start again on a bad note. I laid my home work on my desk and dramatically fell on my bed. I paused a moment as I remembered a certain small voice wasn't giving me her remarks. I suppose she wasn't talking to me at the moment and I really couldn't blame her. I knew I was in the wrong this time and I was determined to fix it dammit! I grabbed my phone and looked through my recent calls and waited until someone picked up.

...

"Fugaku speaking."

My heart raced and I took another deep breath. It's now or never.

"Fugaku sir, this is Sakura, I was wondering if I could meet you say... tomorrow?"

"Sakura... ah yes that would be fine I suppose. Would around 5:30pm do for you?"

He was as collected as ever and I mentally did a fist pump to myself, so far so good.
