I don't know why, but Sakura is extremely irritable during the first half of the study session. I think it's because her head hurts but after an hour passes I know that the Advil has had to of taken effect.
I sit at the coffee table in Sakura's living room with my feet warming by the fire. Sakura is trying to explain something about science to Choji who, quite honestly, is completely lost.
Sakura takes a deep shaky breath and I look up startled. "I need to take a break." She says getting up and going upstairs.
I cast a look over at Hinata, who just shakes her head at me. Damn it, I really want to go see if she's okay. I look down at the Algebra problems I'm supposed to be solving. After I finish these if Sakura isn't back I'm going to go check on her.
I race through my problems and of course by the time I'm done Sakura isn't back. I hop to my feet and head upstairs, not letting Hinata try and stop me.
Sakura has left her bedroom door open thank God, so I peek in. She's lying on the bed with a pillow over her face. She must be in a pretty bad mood to be trying to suffocate herself. "Sakura, you okay?" I ask quietly entering the room.
Sakura groans. "Go away Kiba, I'm not in the mood." She grumbles loudly from under the pillow.
She really isn't in the mood to talk, is she? I sit down on the bed and lift the pillow, peeking under it. "Come back downstairs, without you we are all going to fail," I say lightly, hoping I may get a smile out of her.
Wrong, completely wrong. Sakura swats at me, smacking me hard on my arm. "Go away." She says firmly.
I sigh heavily, now I'm actually worried. I pick her pillow up and toss it across the room, but I'm not prepared to see her slightly red eyes. What the hell, has she been crying? "Sakura..." I start to say.
I'm interrupted by Sakura sitting up and trying to push me off her bed. She looks upset but I have no idea why. I do the only thing I can think of and wrap my arms around her.
"Go away." She demands, trying to push me away, but her struggles soon waver. "Please..." She pleads quietly into my chest.
I sigh, it must have been earlier when I had gotten here. "Hey, I'm sorry for being a pain," I say quietly as I hold her. I start to feel Sakura relax in my arms and in return I relax slightly.
"Today is just a bad day, not your fault." She mumbles into my chest.
Yea, tell me about it, I think to myself. She hasn't been her normal cheerful self. "It's cool. We all have those days." I smile.
She laughs weakly but says nothing. She makes no move to leave my embrace, making me glad that she willingly accepts my comfort now. "You good to go back down?" I ask her.
She sighs. "I didn't even want to do this today, to be honest." She mumbles.
I laugh softly, I kind of figured that was the case. "Okay, I can go down and tell them that you don't feel good and we will study the day after tomorrow if you want." I offer with a smile.
