Chapter Two: Confused
Sun shined through the closed curtains, almost as if it was calling for the sleeping pair to awake. Sakura opened her eyes and flexed her arms, "Mmmmnnnhhh," Sakura yawned.
Something next to her moved, turning to its side. "Mmmhhnn, Miyuki?" Sakura asked as she put her arm around it, "How's my favorite kitty?"
"You have a MALE cat named Miyuki?" The thing said.
Sakura's eyes shot open as she remembered what happened the previous night. "S-Sasuke-kun?"
"Yes?" Said Sasuke replied.
"Wh-what are you doing here?!" Sakura asked, saying the first thing that came to her mind.
"I. Live. Here." Sasuke replied.
Sakura's face turned red, "Oh, um right, got it." Sakura said as she sat up on her knees and yawned, her short pink hair messy.
"Hmp," Sasuke grinned as he sat up, kissed her cheek, and walked to the bathroom, "I'm going to get dressed now. Your clothes are on the table over there," The Uchiha stated before entering his bathroom.
All Sakura could do was stare. 'What's wrong with him?' Sakura thought, 'Is he trying to tease me or something? He's probably just mocking me after I took my sweet, valuable time to confess to him! Yeah, that's right! But what if he did change? Damn it, why am I thinking so much?'
Sasuke stepped out of the bathroom only to be tackled by Sakura, "Okay Sasuke-kun, what's your deal?! Why are you kissing me like I'm the love of your life! Something's up and I DEMAND to know!" Sakura shouted in Sasuke's face.
Sasuke just stared at Sakura, completely emotionless, "Sakura, I-hope...you k-know that your knee is-is on-my crotch," Sasuke mumbled with a pained face, "Get-off now."
Sakura only pushed her knee harder in, "Gaaahhh, DAMN IT! Sakura, get off!" Sasuke cried out in pain.
"No! I want to know why you're so nice to me all of a sudden!"
"I'm nice to you because I don't hate you!"
"Oh really? So I'm guessing you go around and kiss Naruto and Kakashi too?"
"What? No, of course not! Why does every woman have to assume the worst of things? What, are you on your period or something?"
"That's not the problem!"
"Then what is?"
"You're kissing me all of a sudden!"
"I'm giving you what you want."
"Oh so you secretly hate me, is that it?"
"Where the hell did THAT come from?"
Sakura's eyes lowered, "I'm tired okay? I'm just worn out from the mission...I'm sorry."
"I shouldn't have let this happen..." Sasuke said as he stood up.
"What do you mean, Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked, worried.
"Forget that anything happened yesterday and today, okay?" Sasuke said.
"Why...?" Sakura questioned.
"Forget it, forget it. All of this shouldn't have happened anyway. Get dressed and leave, my head hurts." Sasuke said.
"Wh-what do you mean? After we spent a whole day together, you wanna forget it all?!" Sakura questioned.
"So you insist on starting this bullshit again then, huh?"
"What? Now you're the one being unreasonable!"
Sasuke looked down "My head hurts, Sakura. Don't shout. Just leave okay?"
"No! What is it with you-"
"MY HEAD HURTS, SAKURA!" Sasuke shouted as he held his head.
It was true, his head was starting to hurt. There was a throbbing pain in the middle of his brain that he just couldn't rid of. Sasuke head felt like it was spinning, hallucinating, sweat dripping from his forehead.
"Sasuke...kun?" Sakura asked in worry.
"Just-just leave..." Sasuke mumbled as he fell forward, only to be caught by Sakura, right before he passed out.
"M-mother, FATHER!"
"When your father and I are alone, all he ever talks about is you!"
"Itachi did this all just to protect his little brother."
"Itachi had to endure this pain, so he could let you kill him!"
"I'm sorry Sasuke, but there won't be a next time..."
"Bring back my mother, my father, Itachi, my clan, THEN I'LL STOP!"
"No matter what decisions you make. I will always love you."
Sasuke shot up in bed in a cold sweat, panting, trying to catch his breath, "What, what the hell?" Sasuke mumbled.
A reassuring hand stroked his back and lay him back down on his mattress. "Everything's fine, Sasuke-kun." Sakura said as she embraced him.
"Why is this always happening?" Sasuke mumbled, "This can't happen again. I can't experience the same thing for the third time, I've already lost too much..."
"What are you talking about?" Sakura asked.
"I can't fall in love, Sakura. I can't, I just CAN'T! I've experienced too much trauma in the past years. I can't afford to lose more." Sasuke explained.
"Sasuke-kun, how do you know that you'll lose me if we fall in love...? You'll never know unless you try." Sakura stated.
"I don't fall for someone easily. Why am I getting so attached to you?" The Uchiha buried his face in his curle fists, "I can't take this chance."
"But you can, Sasuke-kun. Your heart will be no good if you don't use it."
Sasuke let out a heavy sigh, "I don't know. I just don't know this." Just as he finished his sentence, Sasuke's stomach made a sound. There was a long silence before Sakura spoke, "Um, what was that?"
"I'm hungry," Sasuke sighed.
