x. Teach me, Sakura-sensei! .x

Summary: Sakura had originally thought that tutoring a bunch of boys after school would be an easy and simple way to earn extra credits for university. But she soon realized that, being constantly molested and harassed wasn't exactly what she would describe as fun. All the more when she discovered there was a teacher and a tensai student hot on her trail too. Well, isn't her life just exciting?

Pairings: Various Sakura pairings.

NOTICE! PLEASE READ.

WARNING: Unfortunately, this update is not a new chapter of the story, so if that is your concern, you may want to refrain from reading this in its entirety.

So.

If you're still reading, here are some updates and musings from me before I reveal the content of this chapter.

It has been quite some time since I first started writing this fic, and a lot has changed since then.

To be quite honest, I was quite impressed with myself for being able to still squeeze out updates little by little over the years. I am not a writer by profession, but because I've developed a love for writing at a young age, I find myself coming back to this fic whenever I get the urge to dab in some prose again. I think this fic records the changes in my writing style over all these years, and I hold it dear to my heart because these changes reflect the different stages of my life; it's all very bittersweet to me. But that's enough about me, more about this fic!

Ever since I started this fic, I've had the plot twists and endings all planned out in my head. The problem is just the execution: the character developments, the number of chapters, down to the specific sentences I use ― it has been difficult to keep it up. I wish I can see this fic to its end, but its proving to be a challenge. I trust that just like how I slowly grew apart from updating, a lot of this fic's original readers have also slowly stopped reading after so long.

I am not saying that I'm going to discontinue this story.

However, updates are going to be rather fickle. I will write what I can, but we will see how that goes. It's some of the recent reviews that pulled me back here, and you know who you are — all props to you! ;)

In the spirit of the Christmas/holiday season, I present to you this:

The original Chapter 28! (well, the beginning of it anyway)

So I found this document lying around when I was cleaning my harddrive, and when I clicked it, lo and behold! This was written right after I posted Chapter 27 back in 2014.

As you can see, the actual Chapter 28 (Weekend 2 Part II) was written and updated in August of 2015.

But THIS. This was written in August of 2014. (I forgot about its existence.)

It's funny to see what Chapter 28 could have been like. Take a look!

*Note: you might want to go back and review Chapter 27 quickly to get the gist of what stage the story was in.

Written in: August 2014

Thank you for all your support!

To show my appreciation, I would like to take some time to answer some of the concerns that some of you have brought up, from the previous chapter as well as the chapters before that. If you do not wish to read any of the authoress's ramblings, feel free to skip them and proceed on to the story. Otherwise, HI! Thanks for sticking with me! Let's go!

1. Is this all leading up to a sort of revenge plot twist? (i.e. Will Sakura kill everyone?)

Well, for the sake of not handing out spoilers, I shouldn't answer this question. But I suppose I can drop hints. The answer is yes, and no. Yes, I'm definitely hoping to throw out plot twists. But plot twists are difficult to write, so they may not be twists at all. OTL (cries) Oh, and no, Sakura is definitely not going to kill everyone. No deaths, let's all love each other.

2. Is Sakura still a virgin? (i.e. WTF how is this still possible)

Ahahahaha yes! Yes, she is! (Not for long though...)

(2016 Edit: Well... she's not anymore...)

3. Will Sakura stop tutoring?

Nope! (insert evil laughs) Because she needs to comply with the authoress's needs to keep this story running. The almighty Authoress is the absolute authority! (Authoritarianism?)

4. WHEN WILL YOU UPDATE RAWR/ WHY YOU NO UPDATE

I... I really try to (sniff sniff). My writing skills really deteriorated; my vocabulary bank shrank, I think (laughs) and I'm not as good at phrasing sentences as before. Simply put, I'm bad at this whole writing thing now. (So I'm desperately trying to salvage it) And besides, I be busy with mah life. OTL

5. I thought you had to consume/eat aphrodisiac in order for it to work? (Let's get technical!)

Yes, I suppose that would be the case normally (I'm by no means an expert on this topic *coughcough*) but that was what Kabuto was experimenting with during those days. And yes, Kabuto being Kabuto, he found a way to make it work through body lotions. XD

6. Will you be adding more characters into the story? (i.e. WHERE IS THE REST OF AKATSUKI AND SAI IN ALL THEIR SEXINESS)

Yes, I actually think I will be adding more characters, BUT! Don't get too excited, by "adding characters" I do not necessarily mean the rest of Akatsuki in all their sexiness, but rather more characters in whatever fashion that serves to further the story. (i.e. If the story needs a Harry Potter to perform Expelliarmus then there will be a Harry Potter added into the story.) If you didn't really get that, that's okay, I don't either.

7. Can't wait to see what happens next chapter! (i.e. OMG Kabuto is going to mess Sakura up THINGS ARE GONNA GO DOWN BABY)

YES, YES THEY ARE. THIS IS THE CHAPTER YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR. (or is it? Kufufu *trollface*)

(2016 Edit: Oh yes. Things went down all right. Things went down, baby.)

.x.x.x.x.x.

Thud.

That was the sound of Sakura's satchel hitting the floor.

"No, don't come near me," Sakura's voice came out in a whisper, which wasn't really her intention, as she edged away from Kabuto, while dragging the blanket over her chest. Her body was now burning, but she firmly believed that she could distract herself enough until the effects of the aphrodisiac wear away. Because the effects do wear away, right? Sakura added, a little horrified, as an afterthought.

"Shh," Kabuto smiled softly, pulling himself onto the bed, "Let me heal you up, my little cherry blossom."

"You lowlife creature," Sakura hissed, "Resorting to such underhanded tactics."

"A plan is successful when it works."

Sakura slapped a hand over her mouth before she could retort, for she feared that if she hadn't done so, misleadingly sensual noises would tumble from her throat, and she did not wish to edge the silver-haired man on. She then drew in a short, rapid gasp. She could feel—it was so wet—the liquids—oh, she knew something was seeping out from her womanhood, and she squeezed her eyes shut in horror. Oh no... I, I can't! This feeling... it's so intoxicating...

Kabuto touched her shoulder gently with his fingertips—it was but a graze—and yet it sent shivers of anticipation throughout Sakura's entire body. She recoiled, hugging herself tighter in an attempt to make herself as small as possible. Kabuto noticed this effect he had on her. And he was amused. He knew how to take advantage of her, he knew when the effects would wear off: he knew absolutely everything. It was almost up to a terrifying level of information asymmetry. Especially for Sakura in this situation, she did not need to understand how much Kabuto was in control to feel scared. Like the director behind the stage, Kabuto had set the scene for the very play that he had long been constructing.

.x.x.x.x.x.

...yep.

Man, it feels so different from the actual Chapter 28. I wish I had finished writing this back then so I can compare the two.

I wish I could have given you guys a new chapter as a Christmas gift, but I simply didn't have enough time.

Anyhow.

Merry Christmas!

I shall talk to you again in the next chapter. (hopefully)
