Bloody Valentine Part Two
"Thank you for the wonderful day Sasuke-kun." Sakura said with a blush.
"Thank you for making my day wonderful Sakura." Sasuke said very seductively before he leaned in and kissed her passionately on the lips. Sakura gasped after they separated for much needed air. Even after being with Sasuke for over a month she was still not used to his sudden rough displays of affection.
"Sakura… I have a favor to ask." Sasuke asked abruptly.
"What is it?" she questioned.
"Will you be my valentine?"
Sakura's mind went blank. Did he really just say that? Ok, where were the hidden cameras? This was too good to be true. First Sasuke comes back to the village after killing Itachi (who is SO much better then Sasu'gay') then he asks her to go out with him, later announces they are boyfriend and girlfriend, and now he wanted her to be his valentine?
Sure, when you were kids it didn't mean anything to be someone's valentine but now? At there age you asked your lover to be your valentine. You asked someone you were planning on spending you whole life with.
So did that mean if Sasuke was asking her this he was planning a future with her? Was that it? Sakura was still unsure. Were there really no hidden cameras?
Seeing her doubt and confusion Sasuke touched her cheek lightly and smiled at her. "Please Sakura. I swear this is not a joke. I'm serious. I really want you to be my valentine. Please?"
What could she say? No? I don't think so! This was her life-long crush, the young man she had dreamed about being with for as long as she could remember. Of course she was going to say yes!
"Oh Sasuke, you have no idea how long I've wanted you to ask me that." She said.
Sasuke grinned at her. "Does that mean you accept?" he teased.
"Yes, I would love to be your valentine tomorrow." Sakura clarified.
"Good. I'll be here at nine to pick you up, then we can spend the whole day together, my treat."
"Ok."
"Goodbye my Cherry Blossom. I love you. And stay warm tonight. It looks like it's going to rain."
"I love you to." Sakura said, standing on tip toes to be able to receive her good night kiss. "And I'll stay warm." And so Sasuke left her on the porch of her little apartment. Sakura looked up at the black sky coated with heavy rain clouds. He was right. It was going to rain.
The pink hair konoichi shut the door behind her and leaned against it, letting out a sigh. Life was just so perfect.
Sakura walked towards the small kitchen gazing at the pictures scattered on the walls and about the end tables. They were all of her and her friends. Everyone of the originally nine rookies had earned a place on the wall somewhere accompanied by new friends as well.
There was one of her and Ino, Another with Sakura, Shikamaru, and Choji, hanging out after training. And of course she had numerous pictures of her and her brotherly figure, Naruto.
She passed the many old ones of them and focused on the new. The first was a picture of her, Sai, standing in front of Ichiraku Ramen, supporting a very sick looking Naruto while he held his first place ramen eating contest trophy up high.
The next picture was one her favorite in the room. It was taken shortly after she had saved Gaara. He and his siblings had come to Kohana for the first time since the incident and Temari had insisted upon taking it. Temari was on one side while Kankuro stood on the other. Sakura stood next to Temari and Naruto took his place by Kankuro. Then, right in the middle, standing between Sakura and Naruto was Gaara.
Sakura's eyes scanned over him. He had finally hit his growth spurt and he, Naruto, and Kankuro all stood at least a touring five to six inches taller then her small five foot four frame. Temari was only slightly taller then her, but you could still see the difference between the wind mistress and her brothers.
Gaara's redder then red (Hot, sexy) hair had shown bright that day in the sun, but what made her eyes linger on Gaara, what made this picture one of her favorites was the fact that on Gaara's lips was a smile. A genuine smile. Not a psychotic smirk or a fake grin, but a real smile. (Scary thought hu? But don't you think he would look just as gorgeous?!)
Sakura's eyes drifted over to the other three pictures that matched the one with all of them together. Her other favorite pictures.
First there was her and Temari laughing their heads off, clutching their sides. They had been doing sexy poses in front of the camera and Kankuro, who had been taking the pictures, turned bright red and got a nosebleed. It was priceless. Come to think about it she wondered what ever happened to those sexy-pose pictures. (cough cough Kankuro you hot perv!)
The second was the three guys. Gaara was trapped in the middle of Naruto and Kankuro, both leaning on him, one hand held out towards the camera flashing the thumbs-up sine while the other made a twin set of bunny ears on Gaara's head. The poor red head looked so bewildered it was hilariously funny.
Then there was the third picture. It had been taken by chance at the end of the day after training. Gaara was leaning up against the back of a Sakura tree, his gourd resting in a place that was out of the frame. Sakura was resting next to him, her head cocked off to the side so that it almost fell on his shoulder. Her eyes were half open, a smile on her pink lips. Gaara's head was positioned leaning back against the tree, his eyes closed. And there, on his face, was that oh so calm and peaceful (and super SEKUSHI –which mean SEXY-) look, complimented with his small, genuine smile.
Sakura found herself smiling at the picture. After the camera had flashed both her and Gaara chased after the one who had taken the picture, Temari, demanding that she rip it up. Now she was glad they hadn't caught her so they could have done so. It was, after all, a lovely picture.
Then Sakura's eyes shifted to the side to rest upon the most recent picture to join her wall. It was of her and Sasuke, ironically standing under the same Sakura tree she was under when the picture of her and Gaara was taken.
She felt the sides of her mouth pull downward. Sakura could not put her finger on it but there was something not quite right about that picture. Sasuke, though he looked just as handsome as ever, had something wrong with the way he looked. His smile was… well there was no way to describe it.
It looked happy, but not happy in a good way. Happy as in the thing he had been thinking was good for him yet horrible for everyone else. And his eyes, they were as cold as ever, no nameable emotion shining trough their dark gloom.
Now that she though about it, Sakura noticed there was also something off about her as well. Her smile there looked fake, plastered on by force rather then just because and her body looked out of place, nervous.
She compared it to the picture she had taken with just her and Gaara. The differences were extreme. She was genuinely happy in the one with Gaara, but it didn't appear as though she was in the one with Sasuke.
Oh well, she was probably just imagining things. After all, she and Sasuke had only been dating for a week when the picture was taken. She must have just been nervous.
But still…
Sakura sighed. She was just being paranoid. Then she strolled over to the kitchen and opened the bag containing all of the items Sasuke had bought for her. There was some of her favorite tea, a small pink bracelet, a new picture frame, a new dress (ha! She dragged that gay chicken-butt hair dude into the cloths store! Serves him right!), new shoes (AND the shoe store!), shampoo, body wash, and a new bag of hair ties.
Sakura paused in shock at what lay at the bottom of the bag. The finale item she had purchased while Sasuke had been talking to her friends. She hadn't even realized what it was she had bought until now.
There, at the bottom of her bag, lay a little stuffed anime raccoon, its big jade eyes wide with childish excitement and rimed with a mask of black rings. Sakura held it up, shakily then quickly shoved it back into the bag.
What's wrong with me? What's going on? Why is it that all of a sudden I can't get Gaara out of my head?!
Maybe you like him. Sneered her inner voice from the back of her mind.
What? Hey, where did you come from?
Don't tell me you thought you got ride of me that easily. I was just taking a nap is all. And have you become hard at hearing since I took a break? I said that maybe you like Gaara.
What?!
De sha vu much?
Why would I like Gaara? He is just a friend! Besides, I'm in love with Sasuke! How could I like Gaara at the same time?
True, you love Sasuke now but think about it. What if he hadn't come back? You think Gaara is attractive (Attractive? He is SUPER SEXY!!) and it's not as if you have put the whole chunin exams thing behind you. So just think. Don't you suppose that maybe something could have developed between you two if Sasuke hadn't returned?
No! Never! I have always loved Sasuke! What makes you think I could have betrayed him in the years since he had been gone? I would never! I love him and that is final so shut your trap and go back to sleep!
Fine. Just keep denying it. It's not my fault if we end up miserable for the rest of our life.
I said shut it!!
…
Inner Sakura had already disappeared.
Besides, Sakura thought quietly, Gaara has feelings for no one. Even if I did like him, which I don't, he would never have the capacity to feel anything towards me in return. AWW! Stop thinking like this Sakura! You love Sasuke, remember? It's as plain and simple as that.
And with her last mental outburst ended Sakura took a long, hot shower, and curled up on her bed wearing the new P.J. she had bought that afternoon. Because Sasuke had carried them for her they smelled just like him. Unknowingly Sakura went to bed with nightmares just by inhaling his sent. Some were about her love getting hurt and others, the ones she would not remember in the morning, were about her love hurting her.
&X&X&XGAARA#IS#A#SEXY#BEAST#X&X& X&
Gaara swiftly hopped from tree top to tree top, secretly following Sasuke. Unknown to the Uchiha he had been tailing him since he left Sakura's apartment, staying close on his heals with the stealth and secrecy that could only be obtained by a demon.
Shukaku's thoughts drowned out his own. What little knowledge he had of right and wrong disappeared into nothingness as the demon inside him took over.
Uchiha! You're going to pay! How dare you insult our Cherry Blossom! How dare you try to hurt her! I'm going to rip you to shreds until all that is left is unrecognizable!! Both Gaara and Shukaku thought, their minds one.
Finally Gaara reached Sasuke's apartment building. He watched with intense jade eyes as the Uchiha climbed the stairs and ascended up to his apartment, shutting and locking the door behind him.
Just as he did so the rain started to poor from the sky, coming down much harder then Gaara had ever witnessed it do before.
Sasuke striped of his shirt and pants until he wore (The whore! Hey! We made a rhyme!) nothing but his boxers, then sprawled out onto his bed tucking his hands behind his head and sighed.
"Sakura… Soon you will be mine." He said in a sick, happy kind of voice.
Gaara watched from outside the raven haired boy's bedroom window, his fists clenching at Sasuke's words but despite his longing to jump in the window and kill him right then and there Gaara wait, his instincts telling him to first make sure his prey had let down its defenses.
Sasuke wasn't sure what was going on. One minute he was dreaming about what exactly he was going to do to Sakura the following evening, imagining what it would be like to hear her scream his name out in pain over and over again when abruptly the dream changed.
Instead he was lying in bed with a strange figure standing over him.
At first he figured it was just a dream about what had happened to him while with Orochimaru.
"Please My Lord," he mumbled, still half asleep. "Not to night. I'm tired. Tomorrow. I promise. Just let me sleep tonight and tomorrow I'll give you everything. The whole shi-bang; I'll scream nice and loud like you like it, I'll give you a hand job… oral se… What the Fu-"
Right in the middle of detailing to, what he assumed to be Orochimaru, what their amual sex session would consist of a flash of lightning illuminated the room for a brief second. In that short span of time Sasuke suddenly recognized the person standing over his bed and was cut of by a grainy substance covering his mouth and nose.
Sasuke couldn't breath. He could feel his lungs begin to burn for the oxygen they craved but he was helpless. He could do nothing. His hands and feet as well as his waist (He has a very feminine waist because he is so gay.) were all strapped down to the bed by the same grainy substance that covered his mouth.
"Who is the animal now Uchiha? Personally I don't think it's me considering you're the one tied up." Gaara said as he emerged from the shadows. Sasuke instantly froze up. That voice, it was not Gaara's. It was different, more malevolent. And his crazed eyes, one minute they were jade and the next they flashed topaz for a second.
Sasuke tried to speak but couldn't because of the sand. That and he was running out of oxygen fast. But it was as if Gaara could read his mind.
"What am I doing here? Well what does it look like? I'm going to kill you." Gaara sneered. Sasuke's eyes widened.
"You insulted my Cherry Blossom. You were going to hurt her. Now you're going to pay. Pay with your life!"
And with that, despite the pleading look in Sasuke's eyes begging him not to do it, Gaara reached downward with his clawed fingers and punctured Sasuke's jugular. The Uchiha let out an agonizing scream that was quickly muffled and drowned out by the sand covering his airways.
Gaara snickered evilly as he eagerly shoved his hand into Sasuke's exposed neck, grabbed a hold of the tissue inside and yanked it upward, ripping all that was once lodged inside his throat outward to expose it to the outside.
Blood stained the sheets and smeared its way over Gaara's fingers and down the side of his Kasekage robes. He looked down upon his dead victim, not with delight but with a strange mixture of satisfaction and regret.
Gaara walked back to his apartment through the empty streets as the rain continued to pour from the sky. It washed away the blood from his fingers and robes but he could steel since its presence. Could still see the crimson color staining his flesh and could feel its nonexistent weight weighing him down.
Cheer up kid. We killed that son-of-a-bitch. Now our cherry Blossom is safe. He can no longer harm her. Why are you so depressed?
What will Sakura think of me now? I just killed the person she loved. How will I ever face her?!
Listen kid, she will be glad that baka is gone. After she hears what he was planning to do to her she will come running strait into our arms, thanking us for what we have done.
No. You're wrong. Even if she was glad Uchiha is dead she would never trust me again. A murderer does not deserve an angel's mercy especially when he has taken the life of someone close to her.
Well, let's not jump to conclusions. Let us call her first and tell her what has happened.
Alright.
&X&X&XGAARA#IS#A#SEXY#BEAST#X&X& X&
Gaara entered his hotel room soaking wet and walked strait over to the bed side table and reached for the phone.
One ring.
Two rings.
Three rings.
Perhaps she wouldn't wake up. Maybe she would sleep though the phone dial and find out the truth when the Uchiha's body was discovered.
No. Gaara had always done the wrong thing. It was time for him to do the right thing for once and tell her the truth. It was time for him to take off his disguise, to show her who he truly was despite his great efforts to change.
Then again maybe… Oh. Never mind.
"Hello?" came the voice of a very sleepy Sakura.
"Hello?" she said again, tired and annoyed that someone had the nerve to wake her up in the dead of night from a sound, if not nightmare-less, sleep.
"Sakura…" Gaara breathed out, his sadness and his shame showing through in his tone.
"Gaara?" she questioned. "What- Do you know what time it is?!"
"Sorry…" he said in the same shameful tone.
This time Sakura noticed it. "Gaara, is everything alright? What's wrong?"
"…"
"Gaara?" She heard the Kasekage exhale in a long sigh.
"Sakura… I- I…" he tried to say.
"What?"
Gaara sighed again before continuing. There was no point in prolonging the inevitable. "Sakura, Sasuke is dead."
No sound came through the phone line to the other side.
"Sakura?" he questioned.
"You're lying. You… You have to be lying. Sasuke can't be dead. He- he was just here a few hours ago."
"Sakura. I'm not lying." Gaara said sadly. He heard the konoichi inhaled a sharp intake of breath. When she spoke next he could hear the pain in her voice that came from holding back tears.
"Wh- How do you know? How can you be so sure?" she asked, distressed, still hoping beyond hope what he was saying was not true.
Here it was the moment of truth. There was no backing down now. Gaara had to tell her.
"Sakura. I know because… I was the one who killed him."
There was nothing but silence from the other line so Gaara took this time to get out as much as possible. "I followed him home from your house tonight and waited till he was asleep and then-"
"No." She stated firmly.
"Sakura-"
"No, I- it's not true. You… you would never do something like that Gaara, not to me."
Though she could not see it Gaara's eyes shut in pain, his hand clenching the place where his heart supposedly rested.
"I did. If you think I didn't… then you don't know me very well. I've tried to change since the chunin exams but… Sakura I'm still… I did it for you!" he cried, desperate to get her to understand. "I-"
She cut him off. "You sick twisted bastard! How could you?!" Gaara could hear the tears coming now as she wept through her words. "You- You freak! You're insane! How could you say you killed the man I love for me? Where is you logic in that?!"
"Sakura!"
"No! I never want to here from you again Sabaku no Gaara! Go burn in hell with all the other demons! That is were you belong."
The line went dead. The phone Gaara clenched in his hand broke under the pressure.
"I did it for you." He whispered to himself. "So he couldn't hurt you. So you could be happy."
I killed him so you could be free. So he would not chain you to himself. Please forgive me Sakura but I had to because… Because I love you. And even though I know now that you will never choose me, not that you would have in the first place, I do not regret what I have done. At least this way a very lucky young man who deserves you might have a chance to make you happy in life…
&X&X&XGAARA#IS#A#SEXY#BEAST#X&X& X&
Sakura tore the pictures of Sabaku no Gaara off her wall as soon as the phone hit the receiver. The ones with him and Naruto. The one where he was coroneted as Kazekage. The one with him and the other sand siblings, and the one of them under the Sakura tree. They were thrown in a waist basket and set on the back porch to burn in the damp corner somewhat untouched by the rain.
Then she cried, cried for who knows how long before she called the Hokage.
"Tsunade-sama, I know it's late but… I didn't know who else to call!"
"What is it Sakura?" the Hokage asked.
"Sasuke, he is dead!" Sakura spit out before bursting out into tears again.
"What? How?!" Tsunade demanded.
"He was killed." Sakura forced out through her sobs.
"By whom?"
"Sabaku no Gaara."
&X&X&XGAARA#IS#A#SEXY#BEAST#X&X& X&
