A/N: Hello again! Bleu here to deliver the third chapter of VelvetBlack! I don't know if you guys are enjoying it or not but I am! Although that could be because I wrote it haha I love writing fanfiction! It's one of my favorite pass times. To be honest I'm not very good at it although I've been writing them for years. I'm more adept at writing ITA/SAKU pairings but I do the occasional Sasu/Saku.
Itachi: Bleu…shut up and let the readers do what they do best..read.
Me: Oh shut up you. You're just jealous cause your brother is getting all the action.
Itachi: Uhhh..no. Anyway, since Bleu isn't going to do it I will. Enjoy reading the third chapter.
Sasuke was led down the corridor and into a small interrogation room with a window panel that served as one of the walls to the room. He was surprised to find that Sakura was leaning against the wall next to the black haired Anbu. Sasuke threw Tsunade a confused look.
"You're having her interrogate me? What is this? A joke?" He demanded. Tsunade sneered.
"No joke. She may look like a weak little girl to you, Uchicha-san, but you have no idea of the strength that she holds within that tiny body of hers. Plus she requested to do so from Ibiki-san. Personally I'd have left you at the mercy of that sick fuck but I couldn't exactly deny Sakura what she personally requested to do. However, don't underestimate her. I'm not sure if she's going to go easy on you. We've had her do interrogations before and she has been anything but nice to anyone who happens to step through this door. Oh and…she has a bit of a temper if you recall. I'd watch out for that." Tsunade replied cheerfully. Sasuke raised an eyebrow and then slowly nodded in response to what he had been told. Though he didn't exactly believe that his ex-teammate was as ruthless as they said she was.
Ibiki, who had been silent throughout the whole thing glanced to his right and nodded at one of the Anbu ninja that had been standing just behind him. The nin stepped forward and took hold of the Uchiha's arm and escorted him into the room where the girl and the dark haired Anbu were waiting. He quickly patted him down as a precautionary measure and then led him to the table sitting in the middle of the room, pushing him to sit in the chair at the far end of the table, furthest from the door. The ninja turned to send a quick nod at the pink haired kunoichi and promptly exited the room to stand with the rest on the other side of the glass wall. Sakura pushed away from the wall, handing a clipboard she had been holding to the ninja beside her and sat opposite of Sasuke.
"Sai-kun, I want you to record everything he says for me. I may need to use force with this one." She said her voice cold and emotionless. Sasuke could sense nothing of what the girl was feeling and that disturbed him. He was used to always knowing exactly what she was feeling or thinking. He glanced at the one she had referred to as 'Sai-kun' and watched him as he gave Sakura a quick nod of understanding and then shot a glare at Sasuke as he took the clipboard from her hands and stood ready to write. Sakura looked at a sheet of paper in front of her before saying anything.
"Let's get started then." She said. "First question, what is your name, age and affiliation?"
"Uchiha Sasuke. Nineteen and chuunin." He replied in his emotionless voice. Sakura shot a glance at Sai to make sure that he was doing as she had asked before continuing on with her questions.
"Kay…so when did you leave the village, Uchiha-san." She asked.
"You already know that, Sakura." He said in a slightly irritated tone. Sakura slammed her hand down on the metal table in obvious anger.
"Answer the damn question, Uchiha." She snarled. Sasuke blinked in surprise at the reaction from the small woman. Tsunade had not been joking when she had said that the pinkette had a temper. He had always known she had one of course, but to this extent he had no knowledge of. Sakura pinned him with a fiery glare that all but demanded that he answer her question. An exasperated sigh could be heard from the man behind Sakura. Sasuke shifted his gaze from the pinkette to Sai who was shaking his head.
"Just answer the question, Uchiha-san. It's quite scary being in the same room with Ugly when she's angry." Sai said quietly. Sasuke raised an eyebrow at the other male's name for the pinkette. His gaze shifted back to Sakura who had turned her head slightly to shoot the other man an amused grin before turning back to her prisoner.
"Five years ago." He said simply. Sakura relaxed slightly, the tension from before leaving her.
"Arigato. And why did you leave here in the first place?" She asked. Sasuke was about to say that again, she knew the answer to that question but the look that Sai shot him made him rethink the retort.
"You already know that as well, however I will tell you again for the record. I left Konoha in search of the power that would help me kill my older brother and Orochimaru." He explained. Sakura looked at Sai.
"Did you kill them, Uchiha-san?" Sai asked in an even voice. Sasuke glanced up in surprise at the other man asking the question.
"Maybe." He said, smirking. Sakura growling threateningly.
"Answer the question, Sasuke." She said her voice low. Sasuke looked at her.
"I killed them, yes. But I failed to get rid of Kisame Hoshigaki. He's Itachi's partner within the Akatsuki. He will no doubt be after my head now." He responded. Sakura nodded slowly.
"You will be punished I hope that you understand this. Your punishment might be lightened with the deaths of Orochimaru and Itachi-san but don't bet on it." She told him, standing from her chair. He closed his eyes and sighed.
"Hai." He said. Sakura stood straight and turned away from him. Sasuke took the opportunity to shift his gaze down her back side, taking in just how much she had filled out in the years that he had been away.
"Good. That's all the questions that I have at this moment. If you will excuse me, please." She said and walked out of the room leaving Sai behind. Sai looked over his notes quickly before shooting Sasuke a glare.
"I understand that you were part of team seven. Were you close to Sakura-sama?" Sai questioned. Sasuke sent him a fiery glare that could have torched the room. This man was going down a path that he did not want to go down.
"Why do you want to know?" Sasuke demanded.
"I advise you to answer, Uchiha-san." Sai snapped and stepped away from the wall that he had been leaning against. Sasuke sneered at the stoic man.
"Closer than you will ever be. You are nothing but my replacement for the team."
"We will see. Now were you aware that before you left, Sakura-sama was in love with you?" Sai asked.
"What the fuck does this have to do with anything? Of course I knew that she was in love with me! Who the hell didn't?" He snapped angrily. Sai smirked triumphantly.
"Let's just say that she doesn't love you anymore. Everyone in Konoha wishes that she had never fallen in love with you. Did you know that she tried to off herself? She would have been better off falling for someone else." Sai told him in a voice that closely resembled death and Sasuke narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"Someone like you perhaps? I can tell that you like her." Sasuke said with his famous Uchiha smirk. Sai blushed.
"Even so, it's still not healthy for her to be in love with you." The door burst open just then and both males turned in the direction of said door to find a very furious pinkette.
"Sai-kun! Shut the hell up! It's none of your damn business who I fall in love with. And you! Sasuke, stop eggin him on. At least he has the balls to like a woman like me." She snarled.
"Now look what you did, Uchiha-san? You went and pissed her off." Sai said. Sakura curled her fist and the next moment it connected with side of Sai's face sending him flying through the glass window in the room.
"Don't you dare try to pin the blame on him, Sai! You are the one who started this." She snapped. She turned around, walked up to Sasuke and pulled him out of the chair. She pulled him forcefully out of the room to Lady Tsunade who stood looking amused by the entire situation.
"You got what you wanted, Shishou. What do you want me to do with him?" She asked her voice as cold as ice.
"Take him to the tower. I'm going to go see the elders with his interrogation papers." The blonde woman said picking up the clip board from the fallen Sai and giving it a once over before glancing up from the pages at Sakura with a mischievous glint in her eye. "Oh. And Sakura?" Don't be too rough on the boy please." Tsunade said. Sakura huffed, nodded reluctantly and led the surprised Uchiha out of the interrogation center, up the stairs and to the Hokage's office.
