Fall For Me
Chapter 1- A Usual Day
Sakura groaned as the sunlight pierced her eyes through the bedroom window. She rolled over and squinted her eyes to look at her alarm clock. Two minutes before she had to get up for work. Well she didn't have to but she needed to. How else would she pay the bills? She rolled over anyways; closing her eyes and trying to shift back into her dream world. Sakura got nothing. Then her chicken alarm blared off; she plugged her ears and ran to it. It was too loud; she remembered setting it on low when she fell asleep last night. What the hell happened? She slammed her fist on the alarm; breaking it. Then she sighed. That was the third alarm clock this week. Sakura knew that she would have to buy cheap ones from now on.
She flung the covers off of her body; exposing her skin to the cold room. Her body reacted accordingly though she was wearing blue sweatpants and a matching t-shirt. She sprinted to her robe and rushed her way to the kitchen. Sakura needed her drug of choice: Coffee. She washed her hands and was getting ready to plug in the coffee maker when she heard a thud behind her. Sakura wheeled around and found her precious coffee container on the floor. She almost had a panic attack; her heart was relieved when she picked it up and it turned out to be fine. Sakura scooped three scoops into her filter. It was going to be a long day at work. The woman sighed; she hadn't be up for ten minutes yet and she was already dreading the start of her day. She just woke up with a weird feeling in her gut; Sakura just couldn't explain it. Then she heard her usual ring on her cell phone and she raced to the bedroom to answer it. She looked back when a slight chill ran up her back. Sakura shook her head; nothing was there and she continued on her mission to get the phone in time.
The woman snatched her phone off of her dresser and looked at the caller id. Then she smiled; it was the person she had been waiting to hear from. Sakura flipped open her phone, "Hi Neji. What's up?" Neji was her boyfriend of two months. Everything was perfect until last night. Now their relationship was odd. That was a good way to describe it. On their date at the movie theater last night; Neji had whispered he loved her during the movie. Sakura was too shocked to respond back to him and she was silent for the rest of the night. She felt horrible when he apologized to her when he dropped her off at her apartment. Sakura had given him an peck on the mouth and quickly jumped out of his car. As she was fast walking to her apartment; Neji called out after her that he would call her in the morning to talk to her. Sakura breathed in and out. It was showtime.
"Sakura I want to apologize about last night," trailed Neji's voice. Sakura's nervous feeling came back into her stomach. "but I'm not taking those words back when I meant them. So to make us better; I want to take you out to a fancy restaurant tonight. Is that okay?" Sakura was beaming on the other side of the line. Nervous feeling was gone and happy cloud nine feeling settled in. "Sakura? Are you still there?" Sakura shook her head; she was off day dreaming, "Yeah, dinner tonight is great."
"I'll pick you up at seven then?" asked Neji. Sakura beamed again and nodded, "That sounds great. I'll see you at seven," chirped Sakura.
Sakura was about to hang up the phone when she heard Neji say her name, "Sorry Neji I missed that." She heard the man sigh, "I said I loved you Sakura." It was Sakura's turn to sigh.
"Neji, it's not that I don't care about you but," trailed off Sakura. She didn't want to tell him that something didn't feel right; Sakura didn't want to hurt his feelings. "I need more time before I say the words back. Do you understand?" There. That was the nicest way she could put it; hopefully he'll understand. Sakura frowned as she heard the man sigh again, " I understand. I'll see you at seven." Then there was a click and Sakura realized just what had happened. She hurt his feelings anyways and he hung up on her. Sakura decided there was only one way to solve this. She would lie.
Lying wasn't the best thing to do. Especially when it came to her relationships. After her first boyfriend broke her heart and her virginity; she swore she would never say the words without meaning them again. It's not like she didn't mean them at the time but she was young and stupid. She had thought she was in love and said the words. The next thing she knew; she was on her back, naked with her boyfriend on top of her. She had regretted saying that ever since and four years was a long ass time to be holding onto regrets. She carefully slammed her phone shut with all the luck that she had been having with electronics lately. She didn't want to break her phone.
She sighed then her ears perked up as her coffee maker beeped at her. She happily skipped to the kitchen and opened her old style cabinet to grab a coffee mug on the top shelf. Why did she have the mugs on the top shelf? Her logic even confused her sometimes. She reached on tip toe to snag a mug then she stopped when her eyes landed on her dark blue mug right in front of her nose. She smiled. It was one of her favorites. Sakura snatched it and poured coffee to the top. She blew on it before sipping; black straight coffee was delicious. Her best friend thought she was a nut because of it. She didn't like all the fancy stuff that came with coffee; like flavored creams, sugars or even ice. The one time Sakura tried an iced coffee; she couldn't stand it. She needed pure black coffee to jump start her heart in the morning. Her preferences either made her weird or absolute normal. She shrugged; to each there own. She happily sipped as she walked to the bathroom to run herself a bath. Sakura was proud of herself; she was running ahead of schedule for once. So she decided she'll reward herself with a bath.
While the water was beating the bottom of the tub; Sakura added her favorite bubble mix to the water. Green tea. She happily sat on the edge; watching and waiting for the tub to be filled. She hated just sitting in an empty tub waiting for the water. It made her feel weird. She just couldn't explain it. Once the tub was full; Sakura stripped her bedtime clothes and jumped in. She shifted in the tub so she could reach her mug that was sitting on the edge. A girl needed her priorities.
After twenty minutes of being the tub; Sakura pulled the plug. She had spent ten minutes to relax and ten minutes to actually bathe. Besides it was time to get out; she was out of coffee. Sakura was one happy camper until she got up and grabbed her blue towel. She cringed as she heard a crash on the floor. Sakura knew just what happened; she didn't want to look at the damage but she did anyways. Her favorite mug laid in ruins on her wooden floor. Her head dropped. Out of all the mugs she owned; her favorite had to be the one to break. She sighed and stepped over the mess; still a little too upset to deal with it.
Sakura walked through her small apartment; streaking to the bedroom while towel drying her shoulder length hair. She ruffled through her closet and ripped a pair of jeans off of a hanger. Then she went to her dresser; pulled out the first drawer and grab her undergarments. All matching of course. She slipped her lacy blue underwear up her legs and quickly hooked the bra on. Sakura smiled when she looked down in her hand; dark blue socks. She shook her head and grabbed her work shirt; pulling it over her head. With ten minutes to spare; it was just enough time for Sakura to bike to her job. Yes, bike. Why should she waste money for gas when she only lives a few blocks away. Hell, she could walk if she really wanted to.
She zipped up her light weight red jacket and snatched her purse off of her coffee table. Her keys were in her hand; ready to lock her apartment door behind her when she heard another thump. She arched her eyebrow and peeked into her small storage closet by the door. Her helmet had fallen off of the shelve. She sighed. She knew she should but she didn't want to. Against her will; Sakura grabbed the helmet in her hands and locked her apartment door. Sakura looked down at the helmet in her hands; it was better safe then sorry. She smiled as the wind blew on her face. It was a beautiful day. Her keys jiggled in her hand as she fiddled with her bike lock.
The lock was an evil requirement for the neighborhood she lived in. Her apartment wasn't in the best place in town. She kicked the kick stand and watched her surroundings. Something kept bugging her; she was paranoid for some reason today. The weird feeling still lingered in her gut. Her bike clicked as she walked up hill. There was no way she would bike herself up the hill. She had enough sense to know that she would have rolled backwards. Once her feet landed on straight land; Sakura climbed aboard. The wind blew on her as she fought with it; her eyes watered due to the morning cold. She hated when they did that; that was many of the reasons why she never wore makeup. That and she didn't really have to; her mother always said she was a natural beauty. There was no needed to make herself ugly with makeup. Sakura took the compliment to heart.
Then she stopped and climbed down off of her bike. She finally approached the big problem when she traveled on her bike; the crosswalk. No cars would stop even though the people in the crosswalk had the right of way. So Sakura had to play either daredevil or frogger; depending on the drivers. Neither option wasn't very fun at all. Sakura was pretty sure she would get hit someday. It was a good thing that she was wearing her helmet today; hopefully today wasn't the day. Then she sighed.
Sakura looked both ways like her mother taught her as a child. Each way was clear; she smiled. Today was a good day after all. She started crossing quickly; unsure on how long each way would stay clear. Suddenly she had the same shivers crawl up her spine again. Sakura stopped crossing in the left turn lane. She was safe standing there for now. Sakura looked over her shoulder; no one was there. Suddenly a car blazed passed her; her hair smacked her in the face with the force of the wind. She furiously brushed it out of her way and her eyes narrowed at the stupid red mustang flying down the road. Every time that she had tried walking across the road; that mustang had nearly killed her. If she ever got the chance to find the person driving the car; Sakura already decided she would beat some sense into their head.
She stood there. Frozen to the spot; she was very happy to be alive. Her heart pounded from surprise. This time she was almost a road pancake. Sakura quickly finished walking across the road; her eyes were wide open for anymore surprises. Sakura climbed back onto her bike once she was safely across the road. The wind danced on her face again for another ten minutes. Then Sakura slowed down when her eyes spotted the bike rack. She slowed her roll and gentle slammed into the bike rack; the metal against metal echoed around her. Oops.
Her hands fumbled with the lock again and clicked it into place. Sakura's legs carried her into her work. She worked at the only coffee shop around. It was her job that started her love for coffee; before she started working there, she absolutely hated coffee. Now, she couldn't live or operate without it. She walked to the back door and shoved her body against it. The door swiveled open and the smell of coffee grounds attacked her senses.
"Morning Sakura-Chan!"
Sakura cringed at the cheerful greeting and plastered a fake smile on her face before she turned around. No use in being mean to someone so cheerful at eight in the morning.
"Good Morning Lee-San," stated Sakura. "What are you doing here?"
The man with the bushy eyebrows with a matching bowl hair cut smiled at her. He tilted his head in a funny way; his bowl cut didn't move. Sakura wondered just how much hair gel it took for his hair to stay that way. She knew that she would never ask; it was too mean. Just like she would never ask about his fetish for green. The man wore green something every day. The last time Sakura worked with him; he told her that he was wearing green underwear. Sakura told him that was too much information. He apologized. Many many times. Sakura just smiled and shook her head; Lee was something else. "I was just about to ask you the same thing Sakura-Chan. Didn't Ms. Tsunade give you the week off?"
Sakura blinked her eyes a few times to get her brain working then it finally clicked. Lee was right. Tsunade did give her the week off because of all the shift changes. The clinic was going through a slow business runt; her boss had to cut many nurses, technicians, and file keepers. Luckily Sakura and Lee were some of the few that made it. Tsunade told Sakura that she was to be one week on duty and one week off duty since she was the only other doctor working. Sakura stood there staring and finally jumped out of her daze from the waving of Lee's hand in her face. "Bye Lee-San," smiled Sakura. Then she left before the man could utter a single word of goodbye. Sakura smiled as the sun rays hit her face. She knew exactly what she wanted to do when she got home. Sleep in.
She passed the crosswalk with no problem and she glided down the hill. Sakura locked up her bike and unlocked her apartment door. She hit the lock after she walked inside then she peeled off her work clothes. Then she stopped and looked at heaven before her. She smiled and dove into her bed. After laying in bed for five minutes; Sakura was out like a light. The man sighed and snapped his fingers. Her newly fixed alarm was now set for five pm; just in time for her to get ready for her date with her boyfriend. He shook his head; Sasuke didn't like the guy but he did things that made her happy anyways. What would his charm do without him?
"Your new charm is making you weak." The dark haired man whirled around seeking the owner of the voice. Then he smirked at a gray haired man, "What are you talking about Kakashi? You're the one that gave me this charm." Sasuke watched the man sigh and float over to where he was lounging on a cloud. Heaven was wonderful this time of year. Actually it was nice and great all year around but it something about the clouds being nice and fluffy today. Sasuke sighed. Heaven was perfect as a painted picture. Mixtures of blues and purples with yellows decorated the sky. Laughter was a usual noise in heaven; people were in the perfect world. Too bad the had to be dead to make it here. A gentle breeze crossed his face. Then Kakashi plopped down beside him and itched his wings. Sasuke watched him with envy. Sasuke wanted his wings; sooner rather than later. Then he sighed; impatience made him unhappy.
"Do you need something Kakashi?" asked Sasuke. He wanted the company but the older man was so odd. Which was the nicest way to put it. The gray haired man looked at him. "I was wondering how you're coping with your new charm," replied Kakashi. Kakashi was worried for the young man. He was new. Really new and inexperienced; Kakashi knew the young man could learn a lot from him if Sasuke learned to swallow his pride. He was tempting fate with failing to watch charms. There was only so many times an guardian angel could screw up before the higher power caught wind of it. Kakashi was just worried. Then the man looked at orb floating around Sasuke's cloud; he could see a sleeping pink haired woman in the reflection. Maybe this experience with this woman would teach him. Kakashi smiled when Sasuke sighed.
"Kakashi, you know it's awkward. I only got this woman because there wasn't enough male charms to go around," snapped Sasuke as he looked at Kakashi. The man wasn't paying him any attention and only staring at his charm. Sasuke was annoyed and he angrily snatched orb from Kakashi's eyesight and continued to speak, "How long am I stuck with her?"
Kakashi gave him a look but answered Sasuke's question anyways,"The higher power decided that you're stuck with her until you get your wings or you fail taking care of her," muttered Kakashi. He hated giving Sasuke bad news and there was more. "They also said this is your last chance to have a charm. Since you failed on saving your last one." Kakashi carefully watched the man; Sasuke folded himself together. This was going to be his last chance? He had a stupid woman for a charm which made things complicated beyond belief. Male guardian angels are usually assigned to males; easier to understand in all ways. With him, being assigned to a woman requires him to think like a woman. There would be no way in hell that Sasuke would do that. His male pride got in the way every time. Besides it was getting harder and harder not to look at her when she's changing. Alive or dead; he was still male after all.
"Well shit," declared Sasuke. Kakashi started laughing. "No kidding. You better take care of this one Sasuke; no telling what the higher power would do to you," warned Kakashi. Then Kakashi peeled himself out of a cloud and floated on the spot. Waiting for the young man to say something.
Sasuke nodded in understanding,"I hear you Kakashi. I learn from my mistakes; nothing is going to happen to her besides, she's different somehow," rambled Sasuke. Kakashi chuckled at the man and shook his head before he left; Kakashi said some parting words,
"Sasuke, remember rule number one." Then he flew away. Sasuke watched Kakashi's back shrink in the distance. Once Kakashi was gone; Sasuke opened his hand. His orb floated gently out of his hands. Sasuke saw a glance of Sakura sprawled across her bed. Sasuke chuckled. Rule number one: Don't fall in love with your charm. Sasuke shook his head. Kakashi was worried for nothing. Sasuke looked at the orb floating around his eyesight. His eyes landed on her face and his heart thudded against his ribcage. He had nothing to worry about. He would use this woman to get his wings; not to fall in love. Sasuke smirked. There would be no way he would fall for her. Besides, he was dead; so it kind of put a tamper to any relationship. As long as he didn't screw this one up. Sasuke was safe and she was safe while he watched over her. It would remain that way until he his got wings.
Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Slam! Sakura groaned again and looked at the remains of her alarm clock. Again. She was so confused; didn't she break it this morning? Or maybe she was just imaging it. It's not like she hadn't done it before. Lack of sleep played tricks on her mind. Suddenly she remembered her date. Sakura scrambled to grab her cell phone; once she had it, she pushed a button. It was five pm; Sakura smiled. She had plenty of time to get ready. Her mind was too excited about her date with Neji; her brain didn't even question about how the alarm got set to began with.
She sprain out of her bed and quickly jumped into the shower. Sakura washed her hair and her body; then shaved her legs. If Neji was taking her out to a nice place; she didn't want to have hairy legs. Once she was done with washing herself. Sakura turned off the water and snatched her towel off of the towel rack. She wrapped the dark blue towel around her body before she walked across the hallway to her bedroom. Now she had a major problem. What would she wear?
Another hour went by and Sakura was frustrated. She had nothing to wear in her closet. Sakura sent Ino a text about clothes but hadn't replied. Sakura sighed. She started to rummage through her closet again. Then there was a thud. Sakura looked down; her favorite dress was on the ground. Her dark blue sparkly spaghetti strap dress. Sakura smiled and slipped the dress onto her body. The dress fit onto her body like a second skin. Well, at least she didn't need Ino's wardrobe anymore. Her best friend loved buying the 'slut clothes' as Sakura called them. She only used Ino's closet as a back up. A major back up. Right now, she didn't want to give Neji the wrong idea.
Sakura grabbed a simple pair of black heels from the bottom of her closet and put them on her feet. Then she suddenly sprang up to go put make up on. Sakura smudge her black eyeliner to make her lashes have a thicker look to them then she sprinkled glittery eyeshadow to the top of her eyelids. To finish off the look; Sakura grabbed her favorite mascara. It gave her green eyes a really big pow. Once she was all dolled up; she ran to check the clock. It was almost seven. She shook her head. Sakura took an hour shower. No wonder she felt so good. Showers relaxed her but an hour shower? Sakura should feel like she's in heaven but she was nervous again. Hopefully, her jitters would leave when Neji arrived. Sakura looked at the clock again. It was a couple minutes until seven. Sakura had been on enough dates with Neji to know that he would be exactly on time; right on the nose. She sat on her couch; waiting.
Then there was a knock on her door. Sakura sprung up off the couch with a smile. He was here. Sakura walked over to her door and looked through the peek hole. It was him. Her fingers fumbled at the lock while she was shell shocked. Neji looked very handsome tonight; too handsome. He pulled his long hair back to frame his face. His white dress shirt brought out his pale eyes. Sakura couldn't pin point what color his eyes were; it she would pick a color. It would be light ivory. She let her eye through the peek hole wonder; his black dress pants frame his lower half. They hugged and curved were it needed to; so the pants would lure woman's eyes to that certain part of the anatomy. Sakura blushed and stopped looking at him. She might have to rethink her no sex policy with him. Once she opened the door; Neji smirked at her. She watched as his eyes roamed over her body. Sakura mentally rolled her eyes with Neji's obvious roaming. He could have better manners than that. No, the no sex policy was just fine the way it was. Yes, he was good looking, but that wasn't going to get her to remove her clothes. She ignored the smirk of his and smiled at him. He smiled at her and pulled the flowers from behind his back.
"Hello," greeted Neji as he handed her the flowers while he pecked her on the cheek. Sakura smiled. "Hi yourself," replied Sakura and she smelled the red roses. She walked into the kitchen; she was going to take of them before they went out. Sakura started the faucet water and tried to get room temperature water. She grabbed a pair of scissors and was getting ready to cut the bottoms of the stems when Neji's voice broke the silence.
"Sakura, let's go," snapped Neji. She had her back turned and he couldn't see the face that she was wearing. This was another reason why she didn't want to sleep with him. He was an asshole sometimes. Sakura realized on the third date that he could nice half of the night and be a huge prick the next. That night he took her out dancing but he didn't want to dance. Sakura couldn't understand the point in asking her to go out dancing if he wasn't going to do it. He ended up dragging her out of the place because too many guys were hitting on her. Neji had bitched her out on the way home; blaming her for all the guys asking her. Sakura ended up snapping at him. That incident almost ended their relationship but Neji made up for it by a home cooked dinner and a movie night. Right now; standing in her kitchen, Sakura thought she had forgiven him too easily that night. If he was going to have his man power trip tonight; Sakura knew she would end up hurting him. "Fine," snapped Sakura. She threw the flowers in the sink with a vicious force and turned around with her arms crossed.
At that point, Sakura watched as his brain cranked the thinking wheel then the light came on. He finally realized that she was pissed. Her eyes narrowed as he approached her; trying to take her small frame into his arms. Sakura stepped out of his reach. His arms fell to his sides. They stood in her kitchen having a staring contest. Sakura was stubborn and refused to give in. He needed to chill out; Sakura was more than willingly to give him a dose of his own medicine. Her eyes would flicker to clock to check the time every couple of minutes or so. Twenty minutes passed by. Sakura continued to give him the silent treatment.
She sighed as another ten minutes broke. Then finally he spoke, "Sakura, I'm sorry. I know I can be a jerk sometimes," started Neji.
"Sometimes?" questioned Sakura. That got a smile out of the man and Neji continued, "Alright, most of the time but the only reason why I want to get going is just I have been looking forward to this all day." Then Neji moved closer in Sakura's personal space. He took her into his arms and she looked up at him. She smiled when Neji tilted her head back and kissed her. He kissed her sweetly; it was nice but something was missing. Sakura kissed him back for awhile. Then Neji tried to get things more hot and heavy. Sakura felt his hands wonder on her body. One hand abandoning her chin to move to her breast. Another hand was hugging Sakura's body so close to his; she could feel his was happy to be there. Cold touched her body as Neji hitched up her dress and picked her up to place her on the kitchen counter. She inhaled a sudden breath when Neji's mouth fixed on her neck then back to her mouth. Then she froze when she felt fingers creeping their way up her thighs. She stopped kissing him back and he stopped his actions. "What's wrong?" Sakura looked into his pale eyes and pushed him back. She jumped off the counter and her dress fell back into place.
Her body shivered with many different emotions. Her body wanted one thing but her mind. Her mind wanted another. "Neji, you know how I feel about sex. I don't want to rush into it." Sakura hoped that Neji would let it go like all the other times but it was his turn to crossed his arms with a scowl on his face. Sakura knew in that moment, he wouldn't let this pass. She was about to get bitched at. Sakura didn't want this conversation to happen. With her temper, she knew something would go down.
"Sakura! Just how long are you going to make me wait?" shouted Neji. His voice echoed around her. Making her feel like shit more and more. Once his voice disappeared from around her; the silence engulfment the room and Sakura's temper set in.
"What the fuck do you expect Neji?" snapped Sakura. "It's my body and I can chose what the hell I want to do with it! If you're going to force me into a ultimatum; you won't like the outcome." Sakura watched as the man digested her words. His scowl turned deeper into his face; Sakura wouldn't be surprise if his face froze that way. It would be funny as hell. He started pacing back and forth, then he stopped and scowled again. Sakura watched as his words come out of his mouth.
"Are you threatening me bitch?" asked Neji. "I can have ten whores tonight if I wanted to. I thought if I fed you the line of 'I love you,' you would fucking put out some pussy. You're just like all the other cock teases out there. If you want to keep me around, it's either; fuck me tonight or we're over." The room was silent again for awhile at least. Then Sakura started laughing and her face turned to a sour hatred. Sakura had to laugh; she had liked him so much and now this. Her soul burned in hatred for guys like him. It made her feel better about herself that she didn't sleep with him. For that; Sakura deserved a cookie.
Sakura smiled sweetly and said, "We're over. Get the fuck out of my apartment before I call the cops on your ass." She usually never threatened to get the cops involved but Neji just struck a chord. He could have as many girls as he wanted now; it made her think just how many girls he had while they were together. Sakura made a mentally note to herself of getting a check up. She never thought about where Neji had been before her. With whores no doubt but she didn't want to take the chances of him passing something her way. She would kill him. After she would kill him; she would find a way to bring him back to life so she could kill him again. Sakura smirked as the man stomped out of her apartment in a rage. He slammed her door on the way out; leaving a very pissed Sakura standing in her kitchen alone.
She sighed and walked across the room to lock the door. Once the deadbolt was locked; Sakura plopped down onto her couch. She flung her shoes off with a violent force and listen for the shoes crashing into the opposite wall. Sakura tilted her head to check out the damage. Nothing but a black mark on the wall. Nothing a little paint can't take care of. Sakura sighed again. Her anger was melting away and loneliness started to set in. She sat there for a couple minutes feeling sorry for herself then she decided. She needed to drink away her sorrows; that sounded like a great plan. Sakura got up off the couch and walked over to her liquor cabinet. She grabbed the first bottle she saw. Rum. She popped off the top and slammed back a mouthful. Her throat burned but she felt a hell of a lot better. Sakura took the bottle with her when she settled herself onto her couch.
An hour later and several liquor bottles empty; Sakura knew she was drunk enough to know nothing and feel nothing. She grabbed her phone and started to text Ino. The words weren't making sense. Besides hitting the buttons was a lot harder since the words wouldn't stop moving around. It wasn't her fault; the words just needed to hold still for once. After a couple minutes of frustration, Sakura got vicious. She threw her phone in the trash can; declaring that it was a piece of trash. Sakura skipped to the liquor cabinet and snatched blueberry vodka down. She took a swig and smiled. She had thought her and Ino used all of it for jello shots from the last time they wanted to get trashed together. She took another swig; Sakura was pretty damn happy that they didn't. Sakura plopped back onto her couch with the remote in her hand. She settled on the news; which was exciting at first. The news people were talking about shooting something then commercials started to play. Her head was feeling heavy and her eyelids were slacking. She took the last swig; finishing off another bottle of alcohol. Then she passed out. The bottle slipped from her hands; hitting the carpet with a thud.
She bunched up in ball with no cover. She was hot from all the booze that she had thrown into her body. Sakura turned over; her face to the couch and mumbled. "I wish my perfect guy could fall out of the sky." Then she was silent for the rest of the night except her light drunken snoring floating around the room. Sasuke looked at the trashed woman from his orb. He just shook his head. Free will was a bitch and another rule to follow by. He knew that her boyfriend was a prick and he couldn't say or do anything. Sasuke was glad her heart wasn't breaking as bad as he thought it would be. He sighed and looked around in heaven. It was empty for right now; everyone retired back to there assigned clouds to sleep on. Speaking of sleeping; Sasuke yawned. It was bedtime. He laid his head down and closed his eyes. Sasuke was down for the count after five minutes.
Sakura's nose twitched. The smell of coffee was teasing her mind. She knew that she was imaging it; the coffee maker can't just start by itself. Sakura started to nestle into her blankets but her stomach growled. For coffee. She sighed and threw her covers off of her. Sakura staggered down the hallway with an extreme headache. Sakura blindly fished for a mug out of her cabinet and poured herself coffee. She didn't care how it was made; only if her body got some else besides liquor running through her veins. To show just how out of it Sakura was; she didn't notice the naked dark haired man watching her every move. He smirked; mentally counting the seconds until she noticed him. So far, he was at thirty seconds but he was an impatient man. Sasuke decided to say something.
"Morning."
Then he took a sip from his green coffee had to hold back his laughter as the pink haired woman jumped ten feet high and splashed coffee onto her floor. Then the woman turned her head to him; her eyes grew huge and her face broke out into a blush. Sasuke smirked when her jaw dropped. It's been a while since he had a woman react to him like that. Everyone was perfect in heaven but here on earth, it was a different story. When he died; he knew he was good looking. It just made his day to know that his looks on women haven't changed. Speaking of earth, just how the hell did he get here? Falling asleep on his cloud was the last thing he remembered. Then, when he woke up; he was naked in the middle of her apartment. He would never admit it but he was slightly worried with a side dose of confused. Would he ever make it back to heaven now? Sasuke had a whole bunch of questions with no answers. The man that he usually turned to for advice was up in heaven; looking down at earth. Which didn't help him any. Not. At. All.
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU? WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU COME FROM?" screamed Sakura as she broke her staring contest with his body. She remembered going to bed alone and locking the door. Nothing that she remembered would explain why there was a very naked man standing in her kitchen. Besides, Sakura knew she would remember an extremely sexy man any day of the week. Drunk or not. Everything about him just oozed sex appeal. His dark black eyes that stood out with the light complexion of his skin. He had black hair to match his eyes that framed his high cheekbones and his strong jaw. Her eyes roamed over his body again. His muscles were indescribable; she licked her lips. She had never seen a man so sexy. His abs moved with every small twitch he made and his arms looked amazing. Like she decided before; if she had slept with him, she was bound to remember it. Sakura knew that she wouldn't forget it; he was outstandingly handsome. Nothing like the usual men running around her small town. Her brain cranked though her whole night. She got flashes of fighting with Neji, many different liquor bottles; she even has some flashes of the news when her television was on. Her brain had nothing about this strange man in her apartment. She looked down; she was still dress in her outfit from last night. Sakura was debating to run to her bathroom to see if she was still wearing underwear but there was no need. She had a major wedgie from hell; she was happy though. At least she was wearing underwear. It was a good day. "Look here, hottie, you still haven't answered my questions," reminded Sakura.
Sasuke smirked. She called him hottie; his ego liked that his charm found him attractive. He wanted to be a pain in the ass before he answered any of her questions, "Before I answer anything; What would it take to get a pair of underwear and some clothes? It's getting a bit chilly," smiled Sasuke as he pointed to his body. He had to hold a smirk as her eyes followed his hands. Then he saw her hands twitched and she placed her coffee mug down on her counter. Then she took off down the hallway but stopped suddenly. She quickly turned around and said, "Stay here." She did not want a stranger to follow her to the bedroom. Paranoia at best; better safe than sorry.
Apparently Sasuke understood her weird demand. He nodded his head, "Will do. Don't worry, I'm not going to molest you. You're not my type."
His answer to her demand made a frown on her face while she was in her bedroom ruffling through her clothes. He didn't find her attractive? The tension that she had been feeling has been just one sided; she felt suddenly pitiful. She grabbed a pair of boy boxers and dark blue sweatpants then she left the bedroom. "Here," snapped Sakura as she tossed him the clothes. He caught the pants but not the underwear. The underwear landed on the floor with a soft plop onto her plain light brown carpet. She received a smile from him that made her knees weak. Sasuke set his mug on the floor as he slipped the clothes on right there. It's not like she hadn't seen the whole show anyways. What's left to hide?
"Boxers? An ex boyfriend's?" teased Sasuke as he watched her walk back to her coffee mug. She took a sip before answering him. "No smart ass. Mine. Believe it or not but they are very comfortable." Her answer made Sasuke smirk. "I believe it. After all, I prefer boxers over briefs. More room," smiled Sasuke. He watched her face twitch with his little over share. Then the kitchen was quiet for about a minute or two and then Sakura broke the silence.
"Are you ever going to answer my questions?"
Sasuke sighed. "My name is Sasuke Uchiha. With your second question; you wouldn't believe me if I told you." Then he downed the rest of his coffee and looked at her. Waiting for her. Sakura crossed her arms again,
"Try me Sasuke Uchiha," challenged Sakura. She watched as a smirk bloomed across his face.
"Don't say I didn't warn you," stated Sasuke. Then he took a breath, "I'm your guardian angel from heaven."
The first thought that went through Sakura's mind was, 'he's got to be shitting me.' One look at his face said different. Today is not a good day.
