PART TWO
=.=.=.=.=.=.=At the night of the party=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=
Why the hell am I here again? Oh, right, Sai forced me to since he wants to go with someone he knows and also to meet some 'friends'. I never told Sasuke about this though. I know that if he knew, he will be mad at Sai again and most likely to prevent me from coming here. Luckily, three days before the party, Sasuke was back to his quiet self though it confused me, I never ask him about it.
"_-chan? Isn't that Sasuke over there?" Sai points to where Karin's family is.
And yes, indeed he is there…with Karin. Itachi is there, too, but he is talking with Karin's father, probably about business. But the big question is: Why is Sasuke with Karin? Didn't he tell me that she is the most annoying out of his fan girls since she's the most obsessed?
"I only want to show our differences that's all."
Karin's words ring inside my head. Differences? I already know that she is the daughter of a rich businessman unlike me. But is she talking about what we are to Sasuke? Is she saying that she's Sasuke's girlfriend?
For some reason, my heart feels heavy as if it is ready to fall out and shatter. What's this immense pain? Why am I sad about the fact that they are together? Shouldn't I be happy that at last my friend has found someone he cares for?
"_-chan?" Sai calls up beside me as he notices my silence.
I mentally shake my head and turn my attention to him. "They look good together, don't they?" I ask him with a smile—fake one. What am I saying?
"Hn…I don't think so," Sai looks at their direction and frowns. "She seems too clingy to him and he looks annoyed. And aren't you and him a couple?"
My face reddens at that. "W-what are you saying?"
He frowns at me. "Don't you and he always walk home together and you also walk to school together. At lunch, he's always by your side and would sometimes walk you to your classes. In the book I read a few days ago, that's how couples act."
"No, Sai. You got it all wrong," I smile at him sadly. "We're just…" what are we? "Friends."
Then after the evening greetings, the dance comes. The music is a mild one, not romantic and not too slow, just right. Sai asks me to dance and I gladly accept. And that's when Sasuke becomes aware of my presence at the party. He is dancing with Karin of course. But his eyes are on me. He is quite astounded to see me but then that shock disappears and out with his glare as he notices that I'm dancing with Sai. I just shrug his glare off. He can glare all he wants. He is in no place to be possessive of me as his friend now he has his girlfriend. If he is to be possessive, it should be about his girl.
Then a pair of dancing persons waltzes near us.
"Hey, _," Naruto greets with a grin. He is dancing with my friend, Hinata.
"Hey."
Sai smiles at them.
"So you and Sai, huh?" Naruto eyes us knowingly.
"We're just dancing," I reply trying to not blush at what he's implying.
"_-chan, you and Sai look good together," Hinata utters with a smile.
That's when I blush, as well as Sai.
=.=.=.=.=.=SASUKE'S POV=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=
"Ne, Sasuke," Karin sweetly calls her partner's attention.
He flickers his eyes on her with a stoic expression. "What?" he asks annoyingly.
"Can't we just make it official? We're a couple now, right?" Karin withdraws her hand from his and puts both arms around his neck and presses herself closer.
Timidly, Sasuke puts his hand on her hips like the other one. He can't misbehave now. Her parents are watching them. If only if Karin's father didn't force him to be Karin's date for the night for the sake of being business partner of his brother, he wouldn't have gone here. But seeing that _ is also here, he can't help thinking that maybe Karin has somehow planned this all.
"Sasuke?"
"Karin, don't get your hopes too high," he grunts as he glares at her. "I was forced to do this and if only I had a say on this, I would've yelled at your father that you are nothing but an annoying and the most irritable fan girl."
"What is the real reason, Sasuke? Why you can't just be mine, huh?" Karin huffs as she leans her face closer to his. "Is it because of her?" her eyes then glance at _.
Sasuke, too, looks at _. There she is, dancing with Sai with a smile on her face as they talk. It seems that she is enjoying the night with Sai…not with him.
"She's the reason, isn't she?" Karin looks back at him.
He contemplates for a second what he'll answer her. But before he can even answer, his eyes go wide as Karin has already pressed her lips to his in a fiery kiss, shamelessly flicking her tongue over his lips, trying to part them.
=.=.=.=.=.=.=NORMAL POV=.=.=.=.=.=.=
All people gasp and some cheer and some clap. But I? I stand there frozen as I watch how Karin kisses Sasuke. I don't think that he's against it. Though his eyes are wide, his hands are on her hips and he's not pushing her away. So they really are a couple. When they pull away, Karin's eyes look at me and she smirks and kisses him again. Sasuke's eyes flicker to me but I can handle the sight no more so, I withdraw myself from Sai's arms and run away without anyone noticing, except of course from Sai and Sasuke.
=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=SASUKE'S POV=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=
He roughly pushes the girl away as she kisses him again and she lands on the floor, shocked by his actions. He just glares at her and wipes his lips with his sleeve, his eyes tell her of one word: disgust.
"How dare you push me off?" Karin snaps at him.
"Let me restate that," Sasuke growls at her. "How dare you kiss me?! Isn't it enough already that you threaten your father to force me to be your date tonight?! I am not in the least attracted to you, Karin! In fact all I feel towards you is hate and disgust! I don't care anymore if your father won't be my brother's business partner!"
All people are stunned at what they have just witnessed. Karin's parents are shocked and speechless while Itachi watches his younger brother quietly. Sasuke then turns around and starts walking away to leave.
"It's all because of her, isn't it?!" Karin shrieks before he can even walk far. "She's the sole reason why you can't even try to accept me, isn't it?!"
He then turns back to her with a death glare. "Yes. And if ever you threaten her at any way at all, remember, you are not the only one good with threats; I am good at, too. And I can't promise to anyone here that I won't hurt you physically once you harm _!"
With that he leaves and run off. '_...I hope you'll listen to me after what you saw…Please listen to me…'
=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=NORMAL POV=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=
I stop running when I'm near to my home. My chest…why does it hurt so much? He's just a friend to me, right? But why?! Just then, I realize that I'm already crying. I shouldn't have gone to that party! I shouldn't have let him near me again! I shouldn't have…hoped too much.
I like him, I know and I am very aware of that but if I really like him, it shouldn't be this painful. It shouldn't be this unbearable! It shouldn't be this excruciating!
"_!"
It can't be! No, that's not him! I'm just imagining things. I then wipe my tears in a huff and start to walk away. It's just because of this pain that makes me delusional.
"_!"
I close my eyes shut. Stop it! It's not him!
But I am wrong when I feel a hand around my wrist and I am turned around to face the person.
"Sa-Sasuke?"
"_,what you saw isn't what it was!" he pants.
I bit my lips to prevent anymore tears. I shouldn't cry in front of him. Never in front of him. "What do you mean?"
"_, she kissed me but I pushed her away," he explains not letting go of her hand.
"Sasuke you don't have to explain anything to me…you…you look good together by the way…" It's a lie and my shaking voice is the proof.
He growls. "Do you really not care at all?! Is it really alright for you for me to be stolen away from you?!"
"You're not even mine in the first place," I speak without thought. Somehow I wish I just bit my tongue to keep quiet.
His eyes widen but it softens as he looks down to the ground. His grip around my wrist tightens then loosens. I know that I can just break free from his grasp right now and run away but I never did it. I just stay there, staring at his form and downcast face. And there is the moment of silence.
"I love you."
My eyes widen. My cheeks flushed. What did he just say?
He then looks up to me, looking directly to my eyes and repeats. "I love you, _."
Shocked…stunned…astonished…astounded…and the likes are all that I feel at the moment.
"I love you and only you," with that, the hand around my wrist pulls and his other hand on the back of my head as he place his lips on mine in a passionate kiss.
My brain seems to lose oxygen for it has stopped thinking, my body becomes numb, and all I can feel is…him and his lips. But then he pulls away before I can even think of any response.
"I'm sorry, _," he breathes against my lips as his hands make sure to keep me close. "I was forced to be Karin's date at that party for the sake of my brother's business but she took it too far. I'm sorry if I didn't tell you earlier. I just don't want you to be…upset or something. But I guess I should've just told you. Maybe if I did, you wouldn't have gone there with…" he grits his teeth, "THAT guy."
I just simply bury my face on his chest in attempt to hide my blush. "I-I think I still would've gone…I—I couldn't just leave Sai alone…He's still new here and he hasn't got any friends except from me."
"But still, I don't like seeing you with him," Sasuke places his chin on my shoulder as he embraces me. "Unless you tell me how you feel about me, _"
He then pulls away and lifts my chin to him so I have no choice but to look at him.
"Tell me, _," he breathes. "What do you feel about me? What am I to you?" then he smirks faintly. "Don't try to lie. I know you too well to know if you're lying or not."
"I…" what do I really feel about Sasuke. I like him, yes. But it's not just that. It's so…much more. I close my eyes and calm myself. Then I open them again and stare back to him. "You were my childhood friend…You were my friend…"
Sasuke frown at the past tense that I'm emphasizing.
"But after coming back to me…I…" I smile at him slightly. "I woke up realizing that I…I love you…I love you, Sasuke Uchiha."
=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.After several weeks=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=
"Why are you here?" Sasuke growls as Sai sits on the chair across us.
It's lunch time and after the night Sasuke and I confessed to each other, we are officially a couple now and Sasuke made sure that the whole school knows of it.
"I'm sorry, Sasuke-san, but I have nowhere to go at lunch time, remember?" Sai just smiles at him.
"You already have other friends so why not sit with them?" Sasuke glares as he takes hold of my hand under the table as if saying: '_ is mine.'
"They have their lovers with them and based from what I read from a book, one should not disturb couples when they are together," Sai states as he starts eating.
I chuckle at his antics while Sasuke only get more annoyed.
"We are a couple and you're disturbing us!" he hisses.
"Oh shush, Sasuke!" I smile at my boyfriend. "It's not like this is a date. We're just eating lunch so why not let Sai?"
Sasuke just grunts at me.
"Come on, stop being a jerk already," I smile as I shove some food in his mouth.
His cheeks then flush pink at my action but nevertheless, he lets me feed him.
"Don't worry, I'll make up for dinner," I cheekily say, "I'm making spicy ramen for the main dish and chocolate fondue for dessert."
"Can I join you at dinner, _-chan?" Sai asks.
And a big 'NO!' immediately comes out from Sasuke's lips. I just laugh at them. I always know that Sai is just testing Sasuke's patience with him but he is aware that he shouldn't meddle.
But I wish that Sasuke will really stop being a jerk and cut off his possessiveness a bit. Well, not that I mind. But as long as we are together, I am happy. We are happy.
As for Karin, she instantly transferred to another school after the party and is never seen since.

((A/N: Seriously…I don't know what came over me again. I really am a weird one. My brain is weirder. It's active at night but half asleep during the day. Anyways, I don't like Sasuke that much but it's quite interesting to write a fanfic for him so here it is! Please review! Also I'm so sorry if this sucks and most characters are OOC! I don't own Naruto or any of its characters for that matter! Thank you for reading))
