`Chapter three`

Slow footsteps echoed throughout the room . In fact they were restless footsteps , pounding the floor constantly . Sakura opened the door and in front of her appeared an angry Sasuke who happened to glare at her.

" You're- " she started , but she got cut off by him.

" Where have you been? " was the question that came out of his mouth ,harshly . Sakura blinked. He was alive and more Sasuke than ever. Annoying. He wore his burning glare and it was directed to her.

" Home? " Sakura replied to him with the intonation of a question and raised one eyebrow. Wasn't she allowed to go home? She wasn't his servant even if he was ill.

" May I know why? " Sasuke, how everyone knew him , wasn't one of lots of words , but now Sakura was totally amazed by the fact that he managed a 4 words question . Screw that , she was amazed that he managed a question. He usually wouldn't care about anything or he'd know everything so he wouldn't ask.

" Um , it was my house , I needed to be there to clean it since I was here for some serious time and I had to bring some spare clothes in case you wouldn't have woken up … and other things. " her shoulders shrugged carelessly and she fought her urge to smack him right across his face and break that pretty nose of his.

" Hn , " he gave her his oh-so-famous monosyllabic reply to everything that annoyed him. The rosette rose an eyebrow instantly upon hearing what he had uttered and after that she turned her back to him and gripped the knob , but before she could push the door open she could hear his teeth grit. And she mentally laughed at that. Was Sasuke having an internal fight with himself for asking her to stay or not?

" Just get in your bed , I am going to bring something for you to eat. " she muttered , grinning to herself that she'd just anticipated his next move. Sasuke's eyebrow rose in astonishment, but he wouldn't admit that, instead he just got under the covers and watched the pinkette leave.

Minutes later , she was back with a plate of fruits, especially apples. His eyes were now diverted to the wall in front , he was like… counting the black dots on it ,she thought. His eyes showed boredom. And that's how the whole week passed by. Sasuke would do nothing while Sakura did everything for him : feed him , change him if necessary , clean for him , even read for him he want to hear something , bring him down to living to watch TV , prepare his bath and bring him there . And today was the first time in years for Sakura to wake up later than 7 o'clock.

She opened her eyes slowly , gazing at the ceiling and turning to her side. Her hand stretched to grab the clock and she started at it for a while like denying the fact that she woke up late. Quickly, she pushed away the sheets and dressed herself and after she washed her face and teeth. Descending the stairs in a hurry , she cursed her clock alarm and hit her forehead several times until her eyes met no other than the threatening eyes of the younger Uchiha. His back was propped against the stairs' railing and his arms where crossed over his chest.

Sakura sweat dropped at his glare and diverted her gaze straight to the kitchen and after she swallowed the lump formed in her throat , she went past him , to the place where she was needed. As expected , Sasuke followed her and stood down at the table , on the chair at the end of it.

Minutes later, Sakura placed a plate of food on the table and the black haired male started at it , no real emotion showing on his face. The pinkette let out and almost inaudible sigh and stood on the opposite chair, grabbing the chopsticks to feed him. Between the chopsticks got to be a piece of food that was directed to the male's mouth. As it reached the nearest place to its target , the chopsticks flew away , snapped by Sasuke's hand.

Sakura's eyes widened in terror , her left hand rubbing her right one, the one that got slapped away. Her face wasn't able to show every single emotion she felt at that moment , because there were too much of them.

Sasuke watched her emotionlessly, and hn-ed. Her hands fell to her sides and on her face embedded a blank stare as she stood up. Turning her back to him she murmured some words about how she excused herself and that she wasn't needed here and then started to walk away to the main door taking to outside the mansion. Before she could get ten steps away from the table , she got pressed between the nearest wall and Sasuke. And for a moment she thought she was seeing things. But the warmth of his body against hers was telling her otherwise. And his breath spreading all over her face was strengthening the second opinion.

Her lower lip had never been chewed so much for as far as she knew and she couldn't stop her heart from exaggerating with its racing. The lump in her throat had not been swallowed long ago and it started to form back . Okay, this was awkward. All he was doing was trying to maintain an eye-contact , which , by the way she tried to avoid as much as she was able to.

Minutes passed from the starting moment of this, if you asked her , annoying moment. It really annoyed her to no end ; he because he initiated it and her own self because it fell into his trap.

And when she thought he wasn't really going to do anything but to stare , his head moved further and now his nose and his lips were on her neck , taking inside all of her scent. His hands pressed on her hips , pushing her more to the wall behind her. By the time he did it , Sakura gasped lightly and after that she felt his half smirk against her skin. At that , she cursed him mentally and slapped him few times in her head but in reality she wasn't able to do anything but to try to look as passive as ever. But she just felt dizzier and dizzier with every moment passed ; she felt like she was about to faint soon. The oxygen around was getting thick , everything smelt like him and his scent flooded her nostrils; in fact , all her being was wrapped in his scent, his unmistakable scent that she's always wanted to feel mixed with her own.

When he released her hips and his lips ripped away the contact with her neck , she wanted to scream in frustration so badly but she tried not to . Sasuke's face came right in front of hers , slight smirk on . Sakura had no idea what kind of expression she had on but she wasn't going to learn and she didn't even want to know. His face was so close, his breath was fanning over her face and she thought she was going insane, and when he approached even more , in a kiss-suggestive move all she thought of at the moment was to slap him right across his face. That was what she did. She didn't want to show any weakness . But the next thing she knew, she was breathless, she struggled to catch some oxygen ; he pressed her again against the wall even further but now , the cold lips of his where pressed on hers as well ,tasting their every single corner , every single taste.

A/N : I wanna thank the people who read it and reviewed. I am sorry for being such a lame writer , I am trying hard. So , um , Sakura is been confused in this chapter, and confusing as well , don't you think? She had an own inside fight with herself. Sorry for lateness, please R&R 3
