Summary: He was the devil and she was an angel, their love forbidden but for some reason they just didn't care. They only needed one thing and that was each other. Sasu/Sak
Chapter 1: Back Together
He stood there in silence, watching her intently. She was there sitting with her best friends he remembered her calling her. What was her name? Angel? Yeah that was it, Angel. He had been watching them for a little over an hour now, waiting for his chance. It was dark out, around ten o'clock; the wind was whipping at his red cheeks as he stood there.
He was in a large oak tree outside of her house, watching her and her best friend threw the open window. The trees branched lightly swayed back and forth, making leaves fall in every direction. It was the middle of Fall, winter was approaching fast. Soon he would have to return to where he had escaped from. The place that he thought he would dearly miss if he was ever to leave it but he was wrong.
The moment his eyes laid upon her, he knew he wouldn't want to go back anymore but now he had to. He was gone to her, she said it herself, breaking the one thing he had never thought he had. He never thought her kind could be so cruel, so heartless but he was wrong. If they wanted they could, they usually weren't though, that was where his kind came in.
She was suppose to be the exact opposite of him and she had been up until that point in time. The worst day in his entire life. He had yet to forget it and he probably never would until the day he…well never. His life was now as dark as it had been before he came here, maybe even worst. But that mattered not to him, he didn't care, he had to watch her to make sure she was safe.
He cared not if she wanted him there, for he would always be there to watch over her and protect her. Even if he returned to his home, he would not let that stop him from seeing her at least once in a while. It had to be below forty degrees out side right now, his breath was clearly visible as he breathed. He had never seen his own breath where he came from, for it was always hot there, never once had the temperature gone down below ninety.
He wasn't used to the coldness that enveloped him but he could take it, if it meant watching her longer. He was pathetic in his both his opinion and his father's. He was willing to do anything for a woman that alone shamed him. But to make thing worst he was willing to do anything for a woman that had left him without a reason to do so, leaving him by himself.
Not to mention she was his opposite, it was forbidden for their kinds to mingle with each other but he couldn't help it. She intrigued him to no end like a puzzle and he enjoyed figuring out puzzles. His father had been ready to well do some not so pleasurable things to him when he found out, if it had not been for his brother he would not be standing here today. He chuckled at the memory. He had angered his father to no end when he said that, not to mention he dishonored him by it. But what could you do?
You don't know when things like this are going to happen they just come unexpectedly. He had been here over a year now; it had been too long since he had last been home. He dreaded what awaited him the moment he came back, knowing his father was more than angry with him. The punishment would be a heavy and painful one but he should be used to it, he always got punished for things but never had he got a punishment for something like this.
Anyway he watched her and her best friend threw the opened window yearning to enter and be with her once again but he could not, if he did he would never be able to leave again. Not that he wanted to in the first place but if he did go and see her again it would be ten times more difficult for him
He sighed in frustration at the predicament he had gotten himself into. He was a traitor in everyone's eyes even his own. He had been with the opposite of his own kind. It was unacceptable. The moment he got back he had no doubt he would be either punished or banished from his homeland. But as people say everything has its price.
"Still watching her?" A deep male voice said from behind the man.
"Of course, Itachi." The man replied not bothering to turn to face the man. Itachi smirked and walked next to the man on the wide branch of the oak tree.
"You must stop this before you anger father more. He was not too pleased when you last visited to tell him. And I will not help you out this time Sasuke." Itachi told him.
"I know brother, I know." Sasuke said and sighed once again.
Sasuke was about six foot six; he had onyx colored eyes with dark blood red tints and black raven hair. He had dark black dungarees on that rode low on his hips having to be supported by a black leather belt. He wore a black silk tank top and a sword hung loosely on his left hip held by his belt. He looked about the age of eighteen in human years.
Itachi was six foot five; he had blood red eyes and onyx tints, the opposite of what his brother had, and he had the same hair, only a little longer. He had on black dungarees and a black t-shirt. His dungarees hugged tightly to his body. A sword hung on his left hip supported a clasp. He looked about the age of twenty in human years.
"I know how you feel about her brother but you can not let her get in the way of what you are to do." Itachi told him.
"Why should I care? I may be the future King but I still have my own happiness to attend to you know. I can't do everything for our world. I can't just stop feeling what I feel for her. It's hard to get over especially when you don't want to." Sasuke replied, his voice showing both anger and sadness.
Angered for always being the one to take care of his world even though he is only a Prince and saddened because she let him go. He was always the one to get blamed when something was to go wrong and he was always the one everyone looked up to, to solve all the problems.
What ever happened to his father? Wasn't he the King? Why should he get punished if it is his father's job? Why should he be looked to solve all the problems? He hated all the responsibility he received from his people, all the expectations from his father and the council.
He wanted it to all go away. Like it had when he was with her. When they talked or walked together or basically do anything with her he would immediately forget all his problems, all his worries, all his fears. She was the only one other than his mother who could do that to him.
He glanced at her not caring that his brother was watching. She was smiling and he could only guess that she was saying goodnight to Angel. She got up quickly but soon sat right back down gripping her stomach as if it were in some kind of pain. Angel was at her side in an instant. His eyes narrowed at the sudden movement and they soon after filled with worry and concern.
He closed his hands, digging his clawed hands into his palm, creating tiny slits in his flesh where blood soon seeped threw.
"You're bleeding." Itachi pointed out to him.
"I know and I don't care." He snapped with a scowl on his face. Itachi looked at where his eyes were and saw how the girl seemed to be in some kind of pain. Judging by the way she was holding her stomach he could only guess that was the cause of her pain.
"Her stomach?" Itachi mumbled, in confusion
'Why would her stomach be in…? Oh, no. Don't tell me he… Damn it. His life is so over if father finds this out.' Itachi thought as he glanced at his concerned and worried brother.
'He never looked this concern and worried since mother was alive. Don't tell me he…no he can't or can he? …He must. He loves her.' Itachi thought, shaking his head.
Never had he thought that his brother would actually love someone. His cold, heartless brother whom had never taken interested in anything but killing and torturing people. He should be mad at him for loving someone of her kind but he just couldn't. He was too proud of him at the moment. He knew that Sasuke would never admit it but he did love this girl, this angel of his.
"Brother do you know why she's holding her stomach of all places?" Itachi asked his worried brother with a small smirk upon his face.
Sasuke glanced at his brother for no more than a second before turning his attention back to the woman. She had stopped clutching her stomach and seemed to be reassuring her friend that she was okay.
"No, why?" Sasuke asked him, he had no time to talk about why she way she was clutching that place of all spots he just wanted to know the cause of pain. That way he could fix it.
"Brother can you be that blind and stupid?" Itachi asked him, sounding as if he were disappointed.
"If you have something to say, say it and don't insult me." Sasuke snapped, he did not dare turn around just incase the woman's stomach bothered her again.
"Well I'm just going to say that father won't be pleased to know that his first grandson will come from her." Itachi said, innocently to him and before he knew it he was against the tree, held by his neck by his younger brother, about three feet in the air. This sudden motion startled him.
"What the hell do you mean?" Sasuke growled, his eyes had turned to be fully blood red and they were narrowed, sending him many dangerous and threatening glares.
He had no idea what made him react like this but as soon as he heard his brother say something about her having a child he snapped.
"I- I can-can't te-tell you I-if I can-can't br-breath." Itachi chocked out, he had no more oxygen filling his lungs nor was carbon dioxide leaving his lungs, his esophagus was being blocked by his brother's tightening hand. Sasuke growled before loosening his grip on his elder brother's neck allowing him to breath.
Itachi took many deep breaths to make up for his lost oxygen and a after a moment he was okay even thought he was still being held three feet in the air by his neck.
"She's having father's grandchild. Father is not going to be pleased since he does not like her and is mad at the father of the child." Itachi told him, hoping he got what he was saying.
"Whose the father?" Sasuke asked, his eyes narrowed even more than he thought was possible. He had a feeling he knew who it was but before he got his hopes up, he just wanted to make sure he was correct and if he was than damn did that woman have some explaining to do.
Itachi slapped himself on his forehead and ran his hand down his face. Can his brother be this dense? Apparently he could considering his answer… well question to what he had just said. Itachi sighed and calmed himself.
"Ok, let me say something simpler. Father is not going to be pleased that the heir to the throne has a son. Do you catch my drift?" Itachi asked, hoping he did. He apparently didn't because Sasuke tightened his hand around his neck once again.
"If you did anything to her I'm going to…"
"It's your child stupid." Itachi shouted angrily at his brother.
Did he think that he would ever betray him by taking his woman? No he would never take something that brought so much joy to his brother's life. Did he think that low of him? Did he not trust him? Why would he dare accuse him of that? Sasuke immediately let go of his brother's neck, his red eyes disappeared and he backed up so he was near the edge of the tree branch.
So he was right, the child was his own. And he had hurt his own brother; the one who had did nothing but stood up for him and cared for him thinking that he had done something to her at first.
"I'm sorry." He mumbled to him, quickly but slow enough so he could understand it. Itachi just smirked and shook his head.
"No need. I guess I would have come to the same assumption as you."
'I just wouldn't have used the same method.' He thought, rubbing his sore and aching neck.
"Still I'm sorry. I should have known that you'd never do that." Sasuke said to him.
"Don't worry. Just take care of her. I'll cover for you." Itachi said to his brother.
"Thanks. I don't know how to ever repay you brother."
"No need to. Just take care of her. I'll be coming back to check on you soon so you better have things straight." Itachi said and pulled his brother into a one handed bear hug.
"Cut it out. You're crushing me." Sasuke protested. Itachi let go of him.
"See you later bro." He said before disappearing in a spark of smoke.
"Thanks again bro." Sasuke whispered into the air before turning his attention back to the woman and her friend. He turned around and looked thought the window to see… nothing. They were gone.
"Where'd they go now?" He mumbled. He could sense that they were somewhere near but he did not know where.
"It's not nice to spy on people." A feminine voice said from behind him and he whirled around, only to come face to face with angry silver eyes. He narrowed his eyes at her and his eyes once again turned to a blood red but this time they were not as dark.
"It's not nice to disrespect a Prince either, Angel." He retorted angrily and she stepped back a bit upon seeing his eyes.
"Are you ok?" Angel asked him, not liking the way his eyes were narrowed or the fact that they were red.
"My own child was kept from me should I be ok?" He growled. Angel's eyes widened.
'He knows.' She thought.
"Indeed I do. Why did she not tell me? It is mine after all if I am correct?"
"She didn't want to ruin your life anymore." Angel answered and Sasuke growled at her.
"Ruin my life more? My life is not ruined. It is perfectly fine." Sasuke snarled.
"Perfectly fine? So you don't miss her? Do you not care for her like you said you did? Did you forget about her so easily?" Angel exclaimed.
Sasuke was more than angered at the questions she was asking. Did he miss her? Of course he did why else would he come here just to watch her? Did he care for her like he said? Once again he was here for a reason.
Yes he cared for her, yes he missed her. Hell he missed her more than he missed his mother and she was the only person ever to get close to him. She was everything to him and this girl dared to ask him these ridiculous questions? Did he forget about her? What kind of damn question was that? She was all he ever thought about, morning, noon and night. She never left his mind, not once. What right did this woman have to ask him such questions?
"Woman cease these question if you wish to still have your damn tongue." He snapped when he saw her open her mouth to speak.
Her mouth instantly shut again. Her eyes narrowed as her anger towards him grew. Woman he dare call her? She was already pissed that he had forgotten about her best friend but now he couldn't even call her by her name? This was not going to last long.
"Woman you dare to call me?" She asked him with a threatening tone.
Sasuke looked her straight in the eye, gaining a gasp from the woman as she saw what filled them. Loneliness? Anger? Sadness? Longing? Dare she say it… Love? No he couldn't possibly love their kind, or could he? He did not seem like the type who showed his emotions much; he seemed like a cold-hearted demon who cared for nobody but himself.
Apparently looks can be deceiving in this case.
"What?" Sasuke snapped once he saw that she had been looking at him for the last two minutes. She quickly looked away. He preferred only to be seen by his family and those he actually cared for. Everyone else could just go and be tortured in his Realm for all he cared.
He was only seen in public when absolutely necessary or when he was on earth with her. She was the only one who actually got him to get out.
"You really love her don't you?" Angel asked him, and waited for an answer. When none came she looked up at him.
"Are you not going to answer?" She asked staring at him once again.
"I need not tell you, woman." was his reply.
"Yes you do need to tell me. I am her best friend. I will not have a cold-hearted demon like you hurt her so if she was just a toy to you, leave and never come back because by you not answering that is what you are telling me." Angel told him, her anger was rising as each second he said nothing passed by.
While Sasuke's anger had reached its limits. Before she knew what was happening she was frozen in place with a rough, clawed hand digging into her neck slicing her flesh. He held her by the neck, but he did not lift her off the ground.
His face was no more than an inch away from hers. "You will shut up. And you will not say anything more about the relationship between her and I. It is for us only to know so leave it alone. Got it?" Sasuke asked her, smirking a bit when he felt fear radiating off her.
Sharp fangs were now visible to see. Once Angel saw them, she became even more frightened. She knew he wouldn't harm her in any way because her best friends would never forgive him if he did. He was only warning her right now.
Angel nodded stiffly and felt him release her neck as he stepped back.
"Good now leave. I wish to talk with her." Sasuke ordered.
"What? And leave her alone with you? No way in Hell am I going to do that." Angel protested and Sasuke once again narrowed his eyes at her. They darkened lightly.
"You will do what I say. I am a Prince, show me respect woman." Sasuke snarled. He had already warned her, the next step was to well rid the world of her but if he did that, she would surely never speak or go near him again so only for her did he not kill Angel.
"Show me respect, devil boy." Angel replied quickly.
After a moment she realized what she had said and covered her mouth with both of her hands. She had made a mistake by calling him a devil out in the open. She knew he didn't like it even if it was true. He hated to be called what his father was. His father was the devil. He may be the Prince but he refused to be called a devil, not until he was King and until than he wanted everyone to call him a demon.
Whoever dared to call him devil in any way at any time would… well let's say they were tortured for all eternity.
"Devil Boy?" He asked calmly but you could clearly hear the threat behind it. Angel gulped loudly before backing up until she was against the tree.
"Never mind." She said quickly to him.
"Hn." was the only thing he said before jumping down to the ground.
"Where are you going?" Angel asked him, as she neared the end of the tree branch he had just been on.
"Going to see her." He mumbled before walking towards the house.
"No, you can't." Angel shouted and was about to go after him when a pair of arms wrapped around her waist.
"Leave them be." A male voice said from behind her. She turned around in his arms to come face to face with Itachi.
"Why should I devil?" Angel spat at him.
"Because I said so Angel." Itachi replied.
"How'd you know my name?" Itachi raise an eyebrow at the statement.
"I'm not stupid you are an Angel and so is the woman my brother loves." Itachi told her. Angel laughed at him for a moment.
"What is so funny, Angel?"
"You thought I was talking about my species when I was indeed talking about my name." Angel said to him and he nodded understanding what she was saying.
"So your name is Angel? Weird." Itachi muttered but she heard it anyway.
"How is it weird?" Angel demanded.
"An angel with the name Angel. It's just weird. I'm a devil and I'm not named devil." Itachi retorted.
"Whatever. Now if you remove your clawed hands from my waist I can leave to go stop your damn brother." Angel said and tried to remove his hands form her waist but was unsuccessful.
"Now, now, my dear why would I allow you to sabotage my brother's life? Especially when that is my job as an older brother?" Itachi asked tightening the hold he had on her.
"They can not be together it is forbidden. Now let me go, you damn devil." Angel said and struggling to get out of his grip.
"Since when do the sons of the Devil himself listen to the rules?" Itachi asked her, with a smirk upon his face.
"I do not care if you listen to the rules. I just make sure Sakura does."
"Why would she need to be looked after? She is far wiser than most." Itachi asked her, and Angel just glared at him.
She stomped on his foot really, really hard but it did nothing. He didn't even seem to notice it.
"Cease you're struggling, woman. You are annoying me." Itachi demanded, his grip tightening even more.
"Damn you to Hell devil spawn." Angel spat at him before sending her fist flying into his gut, which ended up in her getting hurt for his stomach was rock hard.
Her fist was bruised and he didn't seem to be fazed at all.
"Damn you and your metal body." Angel screamed at him and he raised an eyebrow.
"Metal body? I assure you my dear there is nothing but muscle in my body." Itachi told her, a smirk on his face. Angel ignored him as she tried to break free of his hold.
"You'll never get loosed my dear Angel." Itachi told her but she wasn't listening. She was thinking of a way to get free. An idea came to her and she soon put it into action.
She kneed him right in between his legs receiving a groan of pain from the Devil as he released his hold on her.
"Haha. I told you I'd get free." Angel said before jumping off the tree branch and running towards the house.
"Damn…..that…..woman." Itachi muttered, leaning against the tree for support.
With Sasuke
Sasuke had ran to the house and opened the door, which had been left unlocked. He quickly made his way up the wooden stairs to her bedroom. He took a deep breath before opening the door. He looked in it to see that she was lying on her bed with her eyes shut as if she were sleeping. As soon as she heard the door open her eyes snapped open and widened as they landed on his stilled figure.
"Sakura." Sasuke murmured, taking a step towards the woman.
She was about five foot eight; she had jade green eyes and long pink hair that went down to the middle of her back. She had it tied up, loosely. She had a huge white t-shirt and white short shorts on. She looked about eighteen in human years.
She quickly moved off the bed and stood. "What are you doing here?" She asked him, shocked by his presence.
"Why?" He asked her, and she looked at him in confusion.
"Why was it kept a secret from me? My own child, why?" Sasuke asked her calmly, not wanting to upset her in her condition even though he was extremely pissed off.
"I-I did-didn't…" She trailed off, tears were making there way down her cheeks now.
'Damn. I tried not to upset her and I did it anyway.' Sasuke thought as he walked over to Sakura.
"Don't cry, ok?" He told her and she nodded stiffly.
"I'm sorry. It's just that I thought your life would be ruined if I were to tell you that I was pregnant. Especially since you and your father have been fighting." Sakura told him.
"That doesn't matter to me. The only ones that matter are you, our child and my brother. I don't care if I am disinherited from my family over this. I really don't." He told her softly, standing no more than an inch from her.
"Bu-but.."
"Shhh…no buts." He said to her, placing a finger on her lips. She nodded, a small smile on her face.
"How far along are you?" Sasuke asked her, removing his finger from her mouth and placing his hand on her stomach which, for now, was still somewhat flat. He could see, however, that it had gotten bigger than the last time he felt it.
"Two months." Sakura replied.
"So seven months to go," he paused and thought for a moment, "We have to keep this a secret though. You know that right? If my father were to find out he would target you."
"I know. That's why I broke up with you." Sakura said to him, placing her hand on his over her belly.
"I figured that." He replied with a grin as he took her other hand in his and intertwined their fingers.
"Get your filthy devil hands off her." An angry voice said from the bedroom doorway. The two turned to see Angel, her eyes narrowed and glaring at Sasuke. Sakura took a step forward, towards her, only to have Sasuke pull her back behind him.
"Get off her and let her go." Angel snapped at him and his eyes narrowed as they turned blood red once more.
"You have no business here, Angel. This is between me and Sakura."
"Like hell is doesn't concern me. I'm her best friend. I will not have her heart ripped out by a devil like yourself." She snarled, her hand gripping tightly on something in her hand. It was concealed though, for her hand was behind her back. Sasuke's eyes narrowed even more and he began to growl.
"Leave now, Angel. I have no more patience nor tolerance for you."
"Make me, devil boy." Angel taunted.
Sasuke's eyes flashed and he took a step forward, only to be held back by two soft hands that were placed on his chest. He turned his head slightly towards their owner, to see Sakura shaking her head, her eyes filled with unshed tears. His red eyes instantly disappeared and his features soften.
"Please, don't hurt her." She whimpered and he sighed, but nodded. He flung herself into his arms and he almost fell back in surprise. He smiled once he regained his balance and stared at the angel in his arms.
"Thank you." He heard her whisper against his chest and he smirked.
"SAKURA! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" Angel yelled at her and Sakura let go of Sasuke, turning towards Angel.
"Angel, you know I love him. I need him here, with me. I don't want to be separated anymore. I can't take it." Sakura said to her, tears silently making their way down her cheeks. Sasuke came up behind her and wrapped his arms loosely around her waist, holding her to him.
Angel looked between the two, back and forth, for a minute before sighing.
"Alright, Sakura, you win but if he hurts you once, even if it's not intended, he's gone, ok?" Angel told her and Sakura nodded, happily.
"Gone?" Sasuke asked, his eyes tinted red. He would never leave her. She was his and he was hers. He would be there to provide and protect her and their child. Leaving was out of the question.
"Don't worry Sasuke, your not going anywhere." Sakura murmured to him as she twisted around in his arms to rest her head on his chest. Sasuke sighed, closing his eyes and placing his head on top of hers, lightly stroking her scalp.
"Awwww…..how sweet. My little brother is going soft." Sasuke's eyes snapped open and he looked to the left, next to the bedroom doorway to see his brother.
"Hn."
"Haha…it's nice to see you happy bro," Itachi said before turning towards Angel who looked at him with a nervous smile, " You, Ms. Angel, however, are in some trouble."
"Hehe, well, what can I say? I'm a little overprotective of Sakura."
"You call kicking me in the…well you kno, being a little overprotective? Do you have any idea how much that hurts, woman?" Itachi growled at her and she shook her head.
"No and I don't plan on finding out."
"Who are you?" Sakura asked, turning around in Sasuke's arms to look at Itachi, who looked right back at her.
Both their eyes widened as they saw each other.
"YOU!!!" They both screamed at each other.
