Chapter 2 (NOTE: when writing is done in this style: It means flashbacks)
Shocked faces met her as Ino and Hinata stared at her through wide eyes.
"He was your what!" Ino shouted. Hinata had gone completely pale whilst Ino seemed to of exploded with anger.
"Why the fuck did you not tell us this? What else you hiding Sakura? You secretly working for him huh? You a mole?"
Sakura had to roll her eyes at that one; there was no point in being angry of course they both had a right to be.
"I'm sorry I never told you I…."
"You fucking better be sorry wait until Naruto hears," Ino interrupted and ran towards the phone. Sakura's mind was going at a million miles a second.
"Wait! Ino hear me out for God's sake! Please, calm down! Listen please just let me explain!" She shouted her hand reached for the phone that was now in Ino's grasp.
"It's been 2 years; if I was mole don't you think I would have done something by now to out you guys? Have I not carried out all operations with the utmost efficiency and tact? If I was mole don't you think we would have had a lot more trouble from the organization?" She said trying to reason with the blond haired girl who right now looked wild and emanated anger from her.
"But why Sakura why not tell us straight away?" Hinata asked. Her voice small but perfectly calm and collected. At this, this was the moment when it dawned on Sakura that she would have to tell them everything, all her secrets all her sins and all those painful memories. Tears welled up in her eyes as she slumped down onto the sofa.
"Because I just couldn't bring myself to remember, to say out loud that the person I loved most in the world was the person who had done…," She took a deep breath.
"How would you feel if your worst enemy was also the love of your life?" She asked and the two girls went silent.
"I will tell you everything I promise, I will start from the very beginning, when I first met him,"
And with that the memories came thick and fast and terribly vivid.
(Flashback)
It was one of those perfect spring days, the weather was warm but not hot the air had a light breeze the flowers were in full bloom and the stream at the bottom of the garden looked aluminous as the sun's rays reflected off the water. There was a little girl no more than 9 years old her hair bright pink.
"Miss Haruno your parents have requested that you come inside"The maid said. The girl turned to towards her, her eyes curious and stunningly emerald. She followed the maid towards the house.
This house was big; it was a classic house, with beautiful detailing on each ceiling and the fire places that had the most wonderful tiles around them, all different colors and pictures that told its own story. She walked through into the main living room. It had huge double doors that opened onto the garden; the room was large and lavishly furnished. There she found her parents sitting down on the sofa, opposite them were two other grownups and a little boy that stood right next to his mother looking very stern.
"Ah Sakura there you are, come and meet Fugaku, Mikoto and Sasuke," Her mother said to her. Sakura looked at the three strangers in her home.
"Oh my, what a pretty little thing she is," the woman said, she had long black hair and dark brown eyes; she was very pretty Sakura thought. Her mother nodded in agreement.
"She is blessed with a rather striking look," Her mother replied and smiled fondly at her daughter.
"You're going to have your work cut out when she's older," The man said to her father, to that her father looked rather grim and nodded knowingly.
"Her hair's pink," The little boy with the shaggy black hair and deep coal black eyes said his gaze scrutinizing her.
"So what?" Sakura retorted eyeing him right back. Who was this indigent boy?
"So it's a stupid color, who has pink hair?" He said again his face turned upwards indicating he wanted to stop talking to her but she wouldn't let him. How dare he!
"Oh yeah? Well your hair looks like chickens butt," His eyes shot back to her with a fierce gaze. She was only too happy to return the favor.
"Pinkie!"
"Chicken Butt!"
"That's enough! Sakura do not insult your guest," Her Father shouted and gave her a very stern look. This was all very unfair Sakura thought, he had started it and yet she was being told off.
"He started it!"
"I don't care young lady that is no way to behave,"
"I'm afraid Sasuke does play a part in this also," The woman called Mikoto interrupted Sakura's father. She gave the boy a withering glare to which he pouted.
"I'm very sorry about this Sakura please apologies to our guests," Her mother told her and pushed her towards the three of them. She was seething inside, if he thought she was going to apologies to him he had another thing coming she didn't care how much trouble she would be in afterwards. She walked to them and bowed and gave her sweetest smile.
"Mr. and Mrs. Unciha I'm very sorry for the way I acted just now, please forgive me," She then turned to Sasuke, " You can go find a ditch and lie in it," And with that she turned on her heels and stormed out of the room.
(end)
Sakura stopped and waited for the girls to completely digest the memory she just played out.
"You knew him from that early on," Ino muttered as Sakura nodded.
"We were childhood friends, after that encounter we were pushed together more and more, we fought we laughed and we became the closest of friends. I was the only one who ever stood up to him," I said remembering all those times at school we spent together, her house was his house and vice versa. She remembered the first few months of their friendship, insults turned into funny remarks and their competitions against each other became games they played for hours and hours. As they got older she remembered those long weekends by the beach or in the garden drinking lemonade and listening to music, just being completely content with each other's presence, no need for words, they could communicate by looks and body language.
"But why were your family acquainted with his in the first place? He is part of the most prestigious and powerful family, you would have had to of come from a socialite family," Hinata stated. That's when both Ino and Hinata both looked at her dubiously.
"Oh my God! Seriously you're one of them!" Ino cried.
"No no! Don't get the wrong idea; my family was never involved in any of the dirty business, simply politics, my family …. Are … were the direct descendants of the first family of Kohona, we hid our name though to protect ourselves from the Organization and my father tried to gain control from the inside," I told them.
"Holy …. Geeze Sakura your full of surprises aren't you?" Ino posed it more as a statement than an actual question.
"Why then, did you get involved with him? Why didn't you run away from him?" Hinata asked quietly. That was the ultimate question Sakura thought, it was a long story to tell and one that hurt and was still fresh in her mind.
"I never knew any of this, not even my own heritage until long after they died. And Sasuke Unciha, were do I start, he is the light and dark, charismatic, ruthless, beautiful, intelligent, powerful and dangerous, as we grew up I fell in love with him more every day, he is the only man who has ever challenged me ever," She said her words small and her eyes glazed remembering the their first ever kiss.
(Flashback)
It was a cool summers evening, the sun was slowly setting and the sky was decorated with golden tones of red and orange all swirling together in abstract patterns. She was there lost in thought looking out over the impressive gardens of the Unciha main household. Inside she heard music and the sounds of people talking and laughing, the flow of the wine being poured into glasses. Outside it was still and soft the air was becoming less heavy as the darkness of night slowly began creeping its way across the sky. She had been inside for a good three hours dancing and listening to speeches that honored the son of the Organizations leader, Sasuke Unciha. It was his 17th birthday and soon within a couple of years he would be the most powerful man in the whole world. Ha, and what a leader he would be she thought quietly to herself. She heard her name being uttered somewhere in the distance and she sighed sweetly closing her eyes just relishing in the feeling that the voice gave her. It was deep and smooth, she had always likened it to black coffee, a necessity to hear it and utterly addictive.
"Sakura," he said again looking upon the pink haired girl who was staring out into the distance her eyes glazed over and looked utterly serene. He loved those eyes how vividly emerald they were and big with a perfect set of long lashes. Her hair now which had darkened over the years was now the color of the cherry blossoms on the trees, her cheeks a natural soft rosy color matching her lips. She was a picture of absolute beauty he thought and it had not gone unnoticed from him, he had watched her grow up into a stunningly beautiful woman with brains to match.
"Sakura," He said again and watched as a sigh came from her lips and her eyes close, she looked like she was in pleasure and that only made him want her more.
He dropped his jacket onto her shoulders and she opened her eyes in shock at the sudden disturbance of the peaceful silence. She looked up into his eyes and relaxed again smiling at his gesture.
"Well if you're going to refuse to answer me I might as well make sure you won't get cold doing so," He answered giving her a smirk. Honestly he was the most beautiful man alive; she was almost breathless as she watched his lips turn upwards into a smirk.
"It's rude to stare Sakura," At this she blushed but also hit his arm and rolled her eyes.
"Don't get so cocky now,"
They both looked to each other their eyes connected and the spark between them was undeniable. His fingers ran down her face playing with loose pieces of pink hair that fell softly down her face framing it.
"Soon I will be leader of the Organization I will have the whole world at my feet," He whispered softly his eyes scanning his face.
"You will be an excellent leader," She replied. He simply chuckled and leaned in closer towards her ears.
"How so?" His voice so deep it vibrated inside her and made her shiver, her hair stand on edge her whole body go rigid in anticipation, her breath caught as her senses became very aware that he was right next to her. Of course this wasn't the first time that they are toyed around the line of friendship and something more, they had flirted, things had gotten pretty heated at one time to the point they had almost kissed before they had been interrupted.
"Now, now Unciha who do you think I am? I'm not going to caress your ego it's big enough already," She stated looking him straight in the eye. Oh she loved to do this, she never gave him what he wanted from her she held back she teased him, drove him crazy, she fought with him, and she could make him laugh. Her body was the only thing that was giving her away.
"Oh? You want to caress something else that is big Sa-kur-a?" As he whispered those words to her, his body pressure against hers his hands went down to her hips as he grinded them against hers. She gasped out as she left his hard length pressed up against her core. Her head went tilted back as she let out a quiet moan.
"Does it feel good?" he rasped out bringing her face down to meet his. Her fingers did trails and circles on his arms coming across his body to his shirts buttons toying with them, unbuttoning slowly and very deliberately. Her cool hands met hot skin and her nails trailed down his naked stomach, he groaned deeply and closed his eyes. His hips pushed up against hers harsher and a moan of approval tumbled out of her mouth her hips grinding in slow movements up and down, her clothed core rubbing against his strained length. He let out a low rumble and their eyes locked together.
Both drawing ragged breaths, both with fire and passion in their eyes. His lips went to her jaw and moved along to her ear where he nipped and sucked causing her to whimper and mewl. His lips ghosted over her skin, lips just touching breath together both hot before pressure was added and two lips moved together slowly and deeply his tongue running along the edge of her lips. His hands came up and tangled in her hair deepening the kiss into something which held all his desire for her, her hands were now around his neck, her legs wrapped around his hips her dressed hiked up above her just below her waist as one of his hands came to support her, cupping her ass.
Before long they broke apart staring at each other breathing hard.
"I think that's our friendship ruined," she joked weakly, his eyes sparked something she had only seen on occasion, possessiveness.
"I don't want a friendship with you, you are so much more," He rasped out and she felt happiness sore out of her as her lips curled into the most breathtaking smile he had ever seen.
"You're mine, forever and always there is no escaping it, I'll never let you go, you're my prisoner," He told her with absolute conviction in his eyes. She smiled up at him.
"I'll never leave your side," She told him, eyes fierce with her promise. His fingers wrapped around her wrists as he brought her fingers to his face and kissed her palms.
"Promise me,"
"I promise,"
(End)
Sakura finished telling them, leaving out the more explicit details of the memory.
"I don't get it, this only makes me question why the hell you left him," Ino moaned out her face the perfect picture of confusion.
"You need to understand that bit because what I'm about to tell you will shock you," Her voice shook and she took a deep breath to steady herself, she had never ever said this next bit out loud except to one person.
"There was a reason he made me promise to stay with him that night,"
"Go on," Hinata prompted softly as she saw Sakura struggle to get the next sentence out.
"I didn't know this at the time; I didn't know this for years in fact … but that night … God!" She sighed out in frustration, tears spilled out of her eyes as she remembered as she brought up all the memories, so painful because she loved him so much.
"Little did I know that, that night he and his father were planning an assassination on my family," Her voice broke as her body shook with anger, Ino walked over and placed an arm on her shoulder ad rubbed slow circles which soothed her a little.
"He what!" Hinata whispered out in shock.
"God you don't mean…" Ino started, but Sakura was already nodding in confirmation to their question.
"That's right Unciha Sasuke killed my parents,"
"Sir our intelligence has detected rebel activity around the outskirts of the city, a residential area," A boy no older than 17 reported in his missions work to the leader of the Organization. He watched as an evil grin crept over his masters' face.
"Good work, I want a special opts team to be deployed immediately," He ordered and the boy nodded and took his leave.
He had to hand it to the rebels, they sure were crafty little fuckers but he owned the world there was no way they could escape him. His body shook with anticipation, she was there, of course she was there, her hate and anger towards him was great he wasn't surprised by the fact that she had joined a rebel force against him. Soon though, soon he would be reunited with her finally after all this time. He had waited for so long the distance the not knowing where she was the fact that he only had his memories and pictures of her to satisfy his love was agonizing. He picked up the phone.
"Prepare my raid gear, I want to be ready before the opt team gets here,"
"Sir Do you mean that..?
"Yes I'm going on this mission with them,"
Soon cherry blossom soon I will be with you again.
