The moment froze. It was like a candle not shivering. Like a cold windless winter. That was when her senses turned sharp and with a glare, she stepped on his shoe. Hard.
"Uhh.." Sasuke dropped to his feet and rubbed his right foot, biting his lip then asked her, "What the hell was that for?"
"What do you think I am? Your whore?" Sakura questioned him, she was scowling and smirked. "I just gave you what you deserve." She added, crossing her arm and wearing a proud look. One that Ino always had on.
He stood up, straight and towered over her. It was probably the first time Sakura had ever noticed the differences in the height. Sasuke smirked, and brushed a few bangs of his face then said, "I'll get my chances soon." Then, his face soften just a smidge. "What is it about you that you don't want me to know?" He asked her.
Sakura turned and said to him, "It's nothing you should know about." Then sighed, before looking at him one more time. "It's something you don't want to know."
That left him standing there, not really dumbstruck but confused and interested. But, instead of showing it he raised an eyebrow and replied, "I can do a lot of things that a normal person can't do, Haruno." He paused for a time before adding, "Including finding information about a particular person."
She froze. Maybe the last line she had said just created the problem. The problem that she didn't know yet. But will. As she left the bookstore in a rush, stumbling at little noises Sasuke's last words made her worried.
"What was gonna happen?"
Sasuke watched Sakura flee from the bookstore. He smirked then took out his cellphone. "Hey, mom? Can you ready the address book? There's someone I wanna find.."
The dark smirk was there and he muttered silently, "Haruno Sakura..I will find out what you are hiding."
During that time, Sakura had flung herself on the bed. She sighed and murmured to the picture of her dead mother, "Mom..What will I do now?" She had the hottest celebrity idol on her trail, and he was trying to find out the past she had hidden all her life. And, all her life she was the average girl - not the so popular one, or the so nerdy one. She was just Sakura, standing there.
So, all that time she was chewing on her dinner Sakura was thinking of why Uchiha Sasuke had taken a peculiar interest in her. Did her parents do something wrong to his parents a while back? Before Sakura could figure it out, her brain turned to her father who murdered her mother. Sakura was told by her last living relatives that her father wanted something from her mother. That want resulted in him killing Sakura's mom.
What had happened? Was he also after me? Before Sakura knew it, her last living relatives from her mother's side was found dead. She knew nothing. And Sakura hated that feeling. Now that Sasuke was after her, wouldn't that make two people trying to get to where she is?
Sakura shivered and began phoning Ino. "Hello?" She asked the line nervously.
"Hey." That voice was familiar...But, it wasn't Ino. It was deep and was a male voice. The first thought she had was it was her father. Before she came to her senses and recognized Sasuke from the other line.
"Hell to you, Uchiha. What've you done to Ino?" Sakura asked him accusingly.
"Huh..? I did nothing to her," Sasuke's innocent voice came back, "I was just trying to figure what you were hiding."
Sakura rolled her eyes was being nervous at the same time. "Stalking is illegal, Sasuke. Even for a celebrity."
"It's all your fault." He answered pointedly, "Why won't you just tell me? It'll be easier."
Sakura scowled and the last words she told him before hanging up was, "I'm coming over there NOW."
Grabbing a warm coat, she locked the door and began walking towards her best friend's house. She didn't mind walking late at night, but she did mind if it means accusing her best friend about selling her out to a thing named Sasuke Uchiha.
She rang the doorbell, ten minutes later and Ino came at the door with both a sheepish and apologetic smile. Sasuke was sitting on the couch like he'd lived there forever.
"Alright. Cards on the table, Uchiha. Either you fess up why you want to know about me so badly or you're landing to a cell." Sakura said, a hand on the table in front of him, while laying down her purse.
His eyebrows were raised and he smirked. "Oi, it's not my fault your friend's one of my biggest fans."
Sakura began to answer before a tap came to her shoulder. "Um..Sakura?" Ino whispered to her. The roseate twirled and made a face screaming WHAT?
Ino bit her lip and said, "Sasuke's parents own the police force."
"GOODNESS GRACIOUS!" Sakura thundered, "What the heck can you not do?"
Sasuke looked at her in a way that told her that he was going to point out the obvious. "Infatuate you." He replied, his mouth was curled only a bit.
The roseate rolled her eyes and sat down on one of the armchairs and sighed. Her hands were spread around her face before she looked up and said, "Getting back to the point. Why won't you just leave me alone?"
The curled smile changed instantly to the mocking smirk she hated. "I can't.." Sasuke told her silently, "You're interesting." He began tracing the patterns on her purse.
Sakura raised an eyebrow and turned her eyes to Ino, who was standing frozen. She laid her eyes finally on her hands and said, "Look. I'm too tired to do anything right now. Listen, Uchiha - this isn't Hollywood where everyone's just gonna agree to whatever you say. But, this time around I'll let you off."
She stood up, and grabbed her bag. "Stalk me all you want. Just don't be way to pesky." With that she headed through the door and gave a silent wave to her best friend. Ino crossed her arms and looked at Sasuke who stared back at her. The second he did, he stood up and followed Sakura through the door.
"Need a ride home?" He asked the flouncing girl who looked as if she just wanted to run all the way home.
Sakura gave a glare. "No, thank you." Came the stiff answer.
But, her brain wasn't agreeing with her words. The night was dark, and it was sprinkling for a bit. There was a moment of silence between the secret-keeper girl and the well-known celebrity.
"It's about to rain." Sasuke answered her, though it sounded much more like he was talking to himself.
Sakura looked at him as if he was some idiot. "I know that." She replied.
He looked at her as if waiting for her just to say, "Fine I'll go with you."
A second later, a scowl came upon her face and said the exact same sentence he had thought of.
Sasuke opened the car door while Sakura, uncomfortably looked around his convertible. It's weird how she always ends up in places she never wants to end up in.
Then a thought struck her. If, she let him see where she lives - He's gonna find out everything.
"On the other hand, no I really don't want nor need a ride." Sakura told the surprised Sasuke. She opened the door and began to step out. His hand grabbed hers.
"What are you talking about, Haruno? There's no way I'll let you go off into that rain." He gestured to the streaming drops of water that seemed endless.
She shook his hand off of hers. "I can manage myself, Sasuke." She had almost sdded that evidence was she lived alone.
Hn.
Now, where did the pinkette heard that sound before..
"Don't make that trashy noise," Sakura told him off, "Anyways - it's not like you care." She closed the door and began running towards her home, her clothes getting wet by each second.
Now, he made a "tch" noise and slammed his car door, running after her. All of us know - that Sasuke, famous celebrity and singer has to go undergo special muscle practices and laps. Sakura, average schoolgirl was one who could never really finish a mile in 6 minutes as the school requires.
He caught up to her, quickly and grabbed her by the waist. Sakura bit her lip, but before she knew it she was being carried back to his car flung over his shoulder.
"LET ME GO!! UCHIHA!!" She yelled at the top of her lungs, banging her fists on his wet back.
"No way.." Sasuke answered in a teasing tone, "You already made me wet. I'm not chasing after you again."
Sakura stopped. "Seriously?!" That means he'll quit stalking her. Mentally, her brain was making a party out of his words.
"NO." He ended the party as soon as it had came. Throwing her down to the car seat, he began driving using her guilty directions. Sasuke was surprised to see that Sakura just lived in a one-bedroom apartment in a cheap lot. He was about to comment on this when she saw that her hair was covering her face and she walking out.
"Thanks.." Her voice trailed off as she slammed the car door again and began walking towards her "house".
Sasuke followed the "depressed" girl and said, "What's wrong?"
"You were about to make fun of this..this place, weren't you?" Sakura asked him rudely. Water was all over her face, and he wasn't sure whether they were tears or the rain.
"I..No, no I wasn't going to." He lied smoothly.
"Just shut up." The roseatte told him.
Sasuke strode up to her and grabbed her by the shoulders, to face him. She held her face down, her hair covering the water or..tears, going down on her face.
"You honestly think I care if you live here?" Sasuke asked her, trying to make her hold her chin up.
Sakura blinked and answered, "You're a celebrity Sasuke. If normal people would find this place a rathole and they have average homes, what would you celebrities think? You've got mansions with pools. And this place...this place...it's.." She couldn't bring herself to say what she wanted to say. Her apartment had been her real home. Back when her parents were living, they were always arguing about something or another. So, she could never find a moment of peace in there.
"Heh. Come to think of it, I'd rather live here than back at my mansion with girl putting signs everywhere saying lies." Sasuke replied.
The pink haired sniffed and asked him, "You've got lucky lives, you people. There's always millions loving what you do. But, when you're a normal person...it feels, lonely."
"Hey, Sakura. Trust me. I was lonely when I saw those fans screaming helpless comments of "I love you" or "Go out with me". I don't need those "love"," Sasuke told her, "I'd rather want one girl hating me than a billion telling me that they love me."
Sakura's tears stopped. Did he just say..
"I'd rather want you than the billion out there." Sasuke stated it simply.
