Chapter 2: Blood and Patience
Sasuke and Sakura spent the rest of the morning locked up in their apartment.
Well, almost locked up. Considering the fact that the front door was gradually falling back. The chakra that was currently binding the door to its hinges was slowly loosing its hold.
Sasuke must have been very busy with whatever he was doing with Sakura.
The loud banging behind the bedroom's door followed by her loud voice laced with pleasure-filled euphoria were enough evidence that he was extremely busy at the moment.
Even their neighbors were distracted by the not so innocent words radiating through the apartment's walls. And the door was not exactly helping out in soundproofing the apartment. Although, he might have infused some of his chakra to keep it in place, somehow the supposedly Uchiha genius forgot to seal up the hole created by Naruto.
So… The whole apartment complex was treated to a very special glimpse in the life of the utterly stoic and emotionless Sasuke Uchiha.
Later that day, the Uchiha couple was yet again disturbed by someone. Although, this time around it was for something important.
Outside the almost dismantled front door was a 12 year old girl.
The young genin was blushing furiously. Guess, she was also given a special treatment. Although, she should be grateful. After all, she was at the front seat of the best movie ever created. And it was a live-action too.
She was contemplating on how was she supposed to deliver her message. Interrupt them or leave them be. Hhhmmm…
Curiously, she leaned against the door and stood on her toes to "investigate" some more.
Unfortunately, the door ultimately gave up and plunged forward. The girl lost her balance and fell down as well.
CRASH…
Followed by a high-pitched shriek…
The loud sound alerted the Uchiha couple who was currently in the bathroom.
Sasuke rushed out towards the front door.
When the dust finally settled, he raised his eyebrow at what he saw.
Amongst the file of crumpled mess was the little girl.
"Owwwiieee…" She was trying so hard to keep her tears at bay.
"Ehem…" Sasuke annoyingly stared at her.
She raised her head when she heard him cleared his throat.
Bad idea. The girl almost fainted at the sight of a wet and succulent Uchiha.
He was almost naked. Standing in front of her, armed cross over his chest, in nothing but a small towel across his waist.
This 6'3'' tall man who could easily turn a naïve girl to a hot temptress with his sinful body was looking down at her.
To her, Sasuke's body screamed "MAIN COURSE!"
His glistening body was covered with soap suds. Apparently, he was in the middle of a relaxing bubble bath with his fiancé.
The girl slowly eyed him, in very slow motion mind you, from his foot, to his sculpted 8-pack abs, broad chest, and finally his handsome face.
If this was a blessing in disguise or a sign of miracle, the girl couldn't care less for she could die right then and there. And it wouldn't matter because she had just seen one of the best body in the whole universe. A body seemingly built for pleasure and promised a hot, wild, and erotic sexual satisfaction.
"Close your mouth and wipe that drool" Sasuke voice snapped her out of her dreamland.
Totally embarrassed, she wipe the corner of her mouth and hurriedly stood up.
"Sasuke-kun, is everything alright." His fiancé's worried voiced echoed from across the bedroom door.
Sakura came out of their bedroom dressed in one of his black shirts and pink short shorts.
She side-stepped Sasuke and inspected the area. She looked at the little girl and upon closer inspection Sakura saw drops of blood on the little girl's white shirt.
She quickly rushed to the girl's side and dragged her towards the living room, at the same time, ordering Sasuke to get her first-aid kit.
"Hn."
Great… The incident would surely get out in public no later than this afternoon. Konoha's citizen was so obsessed with his life. At this rate, he probably would need to strategically plan an escape route in every street of Konoha AGAIN, just to escape his mentally unstable fangirls. (Ey, no offense to Sasuke's fangirls. I'm one of 'em too. Wink. Wink. … ) Also, he would never hear the end of it from Naruto.
He gloomily sighed.
Sasuke being his usual self was about to ignore her orders and just continue his bubble bath. But he decided against it. He would never admit it out in the open that the Great and Almighty Sasuke Uchiha was intimidated by one sweet and charming Sakura Haruno.
"Che! Intimidated? Hardly! And she is far from being sweet and charming. Annoying." His thoughts were cut off by Sakura telling him to hurry his slow-ass up.
Grunting, he walked to the bathroom and quickly showered.
Within five minutes, he emerged out of his hot shower, got dressed, and checked the medicine cabinet for her first-aid kit.
He don't understand why she would need it when she could just use her healing jutsu to fix the girl.
Meanwhile, in the living room…
Sakura was fussing over the young girl.
"Now, lemme see your face." Sakura carefully grasped her face and closely examined for any damage created by the fall.
The girl couldn't help but stare at Sakura. She was mesmerized by her beauty and gentleness. Long strands of her waist-length hair was coming out of Sakura's loose bun and was cascading down her face. Flawless skin, pink lips, and dazzling emerald eyes.
The girl was wondering how someone could look so beautiful without even trying. And this woman just came out of the shower. She was simply glowing under the radiant sun. Or in their case, under the florescent light. She could probably command thousands of men to abide by her wishes just because of her natural beauty.
Sakura held on to the girl's face and gently shook her.
"Hey, Are you ok? I just asked you what's your name?" Sakura was smiling at her.
"Umm, Ka… Kana. I'm Kana."
"Well, Kana-chan, it looks like nothing's wrong with you. You look perfectly fine to me. And it seems like the blood on your shirt was not from any cut." Sakura mischievously smiled knowing well enough where the blood was really from.
It seems like Sasuke's body was too much for little Kana.
Sakura couldn't blame her. After all, she, herself, used to experience sporadic nosebleeds whenever Sasuke would take off his shirt.
Kana faced a smirking Sakura.
She just wished that the floor would open, swallow her up, and pull her away from this awfully embarrassing situation.
"You little perv. Don't worry, your secret is safe with me." Sakura winked at the furiously blushing girl.
And that's how Sasuke found them.
He casually walked to the sofa and handed Sakura her first-aid kit.
"Oh no, Sasuke-kun, I don't need it anymore. But, thanks though."
She grinned sheepishly at his annoyed face.
He instantly glared at her.
"You could've told me you don't need it anymore." He darkly stated. Sasuke was emitting a very disturbing aura coupled with suffering and destruction. A dreadfully ominous feeling. But, as usual, she was unaffected by his silent threats. And she just continued smiling like crazy.
"Well, I was busy checking up on Kana-chan that I kinda uummm forgot?"
His gaze turned to the girl who was sitting beside Sakura. He immediately noticed how jumpy she was getting.
The said girl was looking down. Clearly trying to avoid looking at him.
Poor girl thought Sasuke was still naked. She was afraid that she might not make it through the second time she sees him without clothes. Please, no more repeat for this girl. She thought that his body would somehow constrict her major arteries thus resulting to a heart attack. A seemingly strange cause of death. Such a devastating reason for her to experience at a very young age. The girl sweatdropped.
"You! What do you want?" He darkly questioned her. Typical Sasuke attitude.
Kana jerked up and looked straight at him.
"Ummmm… I… Ummm… Yeah…"
At the moment, Sasuke would prefer Hinata's stuttering for this girl was majorly stumbling over her own words.
"Sasuke-kun! Stop it. You're scaring her!…" Sakura stood up and pushed Sasuke away from the shaking girl.
"Hn. Whatever."
"Sorry, Kana-chan. But seriously, you must have something important to tell us, right?" Sakura gently looked at her.
Kana swallowed her nervousness before speaking.
"Umm, Yes, Haruno-san. Ummm… Hokage-sama wants Uchiha-san to report to her to discuss an unclear statement in his mission report."
"Hn." And just like that, he turned around and walked out of the living room.
"Sasuke-kun, wait!" Sakura rushed to catch up with him.
"What now?" He snapped at her.
Sasuke's patience reservoir for the day was critically drained due to Naruto's antics earlier that morning.
Sakura cutely pouted at him.
"You forgot something."
"Hn." Sasuke exasperatedly sighed.
He leaned forward and gave her a chaste kiss.
They quickly ended the kiss before it leads to something else. That wouldn't be good especially since Kana was still sitting in the living room. Sakura wouldn't want to scare the little girl. She had enough Sasuke-goodness in one day.
"I love you." Sakura said sweetly while caressing his face.
"I know."
She knew that he was still having a hard time saying those three words. Especially in front of other people. Not that he hasn't said it before. In fact, he already told her a couple of times. Its just that Sasuke was not really used to vocally expressing his feelings. The Uchiha strongly believed that actions speak louder that words. So, he doesn't feel the need to tell her every moment. He was more of a doer anyway. And that was another impressive trait he possessed. Besides, he was well-known for his irrational actions not his words. And Sakura was content with him.
With that final word, he was about to walk out of his apartment when a thought struck him.
Fangirls.
Sasuke changed his mind, performed the necessary hand signs, and poofed out of the apartment.
Wimp.
Sakura shook her head at how silly he looked before he disappeared.
It seemed like he was shivering. His face was graced with horror like he just saw a ghost or something.
She was startled when Kana popped out of nowhere next to her.
"Ano… Haruno-san, Thank you for your hospitality. I should get going now." She bowed down and smiled at Sakura.
"No worries. I'll see you around Kana-chan." Sakura waved at Kana's retreating form.
"Well Sakura, you're all alone now. Time to get back to that bubble bath. Then maybe hang out with Ino-pig and the girls. Eat tons of ice cream. Chillax and be lazy all day long" Planned an overly excited Sakura. It was her day off anyways. She would do as she please.
She was ready to face the bright and joyful day. Life was just too damn good. That was, until she turned around and surveyed her apartment.
Her face crunched up and suddenly her optimistic attitude flew out the window.
The apartment was a disaster.
Pieces of her one of a kind, hand-made porcelain flower vase given to her by Gaara were scattered across the hallway. Gaara had it especially made for her 20th birthday two months ago. She couldn't bring it back to Konoha with her because she was currently on a mission. And she just received it from the mail a few days ago. It was useless now. She started whimpering. Then, she just began wailing like a little girl who lost her balloon.
The door must've have knocked it off when it crashed to the floor.
She gazed dejectedly at what was left of her front door.
Her door. Two words. Kill Naruto. It was beyond repair now.
She continued examining her surroundings.
Her kitchen. Damn. No words could probably describe its current state.
Again. Kill Naruto. And maybe punish Sasuke by depriving him of his current addiction.
SEX.
Obviously, she forgot the chaos created by the two dimwits.
At the moment, she really wanted to scream and cry her heart out. She couldn't believe she had to clean everything up. BY HERSELF.
"Woah… That was some food fight huh?"
Ok, she was not totally alone.
"Not you again!"
Sakura started banging her head against the kitchen wall in hopes that somehow it could injure her inner self.
"Why? Why is this happening to me? Did I offend the Gods or something? Was I such a bad person in my past life? Cuz I'm 100 percent sure that I am the nicest person in this lifetime. Well, except to Naruto. BUT, he doesn't count! ARRRGGGHHH!!…" She dramatically exclaimed.
"Awww… Don't worry I'll try to feel and look sorry for you… Tehehehe…" Inner Sakura was having the time of her life. This morning was getting better and better by the minute. At least for her.
"NOOO!!" Sakura cried out in vain.
"You are such a drama queen! And would you freaking stop banging your head against the wall… In case you forgot, your wedding is in two days, Dumbass! You don't want Sasuke backing out now, do you?"
As if she got shocked by Sasuke's chidori, Sakura jolted straight up and ran towards the closest mirror. She started inspecting the damage she inflicted upon herself. Good thing she had such a wide and strong forehead for it endured the impact pretty well. Not even a scratch or a bruise present.
With renewed enthusiasm, she vigorously commenced her mission objective: Operation Squeaky Clean…
