Chapter 2: Possessions

They say to never ask a question if you know you can't handle the answer.

My question, how can something so deadly with so many secrets, be so beautiful?

I laid in my bed waiting, as patiently as I could, for her to show up. What was taking her so long? She said noon. It was 45 minutes after noon. I sighed and picked up my phone to call her when my door opened and I saw her walk in. She looked even worse than yesterday. Not worse in a sense that she looked bad just tired. She could never look bad, not with the way those tight black jeans hugged her hips, and the black top that showed off her belly ring, and a small tattoo on her hip…when did she get that? It was her eyes again…the dark circles and the dim look in her eyes, her hair pulled up in a lose bun like she just didn't want to deal with it. And yet she still looked beautiful. She shrugged out of her jacket and laid down on the bed next to me and hugged me. God why did she have to smell so good…?

"It's been so long since I've been here. Your mom was happy to see me."

"That's because she thinks of you as her only daughter. She's been wanting you and your parents to come over soon for dinner.."

"There still out on business…I don't really know when they'll be back."

"Well I'll let her know then. So how was your sleepover at Ino's?" I don't know why I bother asking when I knew it was a lie. Just she could tell me more lies?

"It was fun. Ino wants to go shopping this weekend. We might go tomorrow. We spent most of the night watching movies and talking about her recent fights and make-ups with Shikamaru…"

I listened to her go on about her "sleepover", but with each word I felt myself cracking slowly, I'd never felt like this before but the more I heard her talk about stuff that didn't happen the more I wanted to know what she'd really been up to. And with that thought I said something I wish I hadn't.

"What's happened to you…?" It just came out…there was no stopping it.

"….what do mean..?"

"You're lying to me….you've never lied to me…"

"What are you talking about Sasuke.."

I could hear the tone in her voice. She was nervous and angry.

"Shikamaru was here last night until he went on his date…with Ino. Yet you were with her? What did you tag along like a third wheel? I know you Sakura you hate hanging around them! It's too romantic for you!" When did I start raising my voice at her? "I can't take this anymore Sakura! Why do you keep lying to me! What on earth is so god damn important that you can't tell me?!" I felt her get off the bed and start to leave. No, she couldn't leave. Not till I got the answers I deserved! I stood up and grabbed her by the shoulders.

"GOD DAMNIT SAKURA ANSWER ME! I'm your best friend! Since when did you decide to make decisions without me?!"

She looked at me with cold eyes. "When I grew up Sasuke, maybe you should try it. You know I don't need your permission to do what I want to! You may be my best friend but I have my own life! And right now you're acting like a jealous boyfriend more than a friend! Get over yourself my life doesn't revolve around you!" I could hear the venom in her voice. I snapped and threw her against the wall my arms pinning her shoulders. I could see a spark of fear and anger in her eyes.

"It used to…" Before I knew it my lips were on hers. They were just as soft as they looked, and tasted of strawberries and…was that blood? I felt the sharp pain in lower lip. She bit me… I pulled away from her and she ran to the door.

Before she walked out she left with these words. "You are my world Sasuke….but right now there are more important matters at hand. I'm sorry." I watched her walk out of my room and punched my wall. Great now there's a hole. I don't understand. What important matters? Why couldn't I know? I hated these secrets! She can't just not tell me! She's mine! She couldn't avoid me forever! She would tell me! I needed her and whether she liked it or not she needed me! I would make her the Sakura she was before. I would bring that light back in her eyes. She was my light. I laid back down in my bed and daydreamed about the taste of strawberries, the smell of cherry blossoms, and the feel of those full soft lips on mine…

Sakura POV

I was crying…I hadn't cried since that night. Damn him for doing this to me! I drove all the way home in tears and when I got in I fell to the floor and cried. I didn't know how long I'd been there for. I already hated lying to him, why did he have to make it worse?!

Maybe you should just tell him.

No! If I do it could put him in danger. They kill anyone who knows…

But he'll have us to protect him. No one will get near him.

I…I can't risk it. Not now…not yet.

Well then at least get off the floor and stop moping. You look like someone killed your puppy.

I don't have a puppy.

Oh…well go buy a puppy.

The fuck…? I'm not buying a puppy I can barely take care of myself let alone a puppy!

Well Miss Crankypants. If you're not gonna listen to me about getting a puppy maybe you should call Gaara. You need someone to talk to after that.

I'm talking to you aren't I?

Talking to yourself doesn't count…

Well go away then.

As I felt my inner slide into her corner I picked up the phone to call Gaara. Yet when iheard the voice pick up I knew it wasn't Gaara I had just called. "Come over?"

"…On my way…"

"Thank you"

Minutes had passed, yet it felt like hours. I heard the front door open and the steps walk down the hallway. It must have been raining because when he crawled in the bed he was soaking wet. I turned around and took off his shirt. He took off his jeans and removed my shirt. I slipped out of my pants and cuddled up to him, his musky scent overcoming all my senses. "I'm sorry Sakura." I heard him say so quietly I almost didn't hear him. " I am too. I will tell you…just give me time. Please?" "I'll wait as long as you need." I felt his arms wrap around me and I felt safe for the first time in a long time. It seemed like only yesterday his arms were so thin and small. We'd both grown up so much in such a short time. I would tell him. If only to preserve everything we'd been through. There was also no denying it though, he was mine, and I his. That would never change. After all he promised me. I fell asleep and dreamt of him, of us, of all we'd been through and the promises we had made…

"Someday Sakura me and you are gonna live in a big old house with 6 kids!"

"6! That's so many!"

I started picking flowers while he pulled up grass under the tree we lay under.

"I want us to have a big family to carry out the Uchiha name! And who better to have a family with than my bestest friend ever! And you're cute too so I know my kids won't be ugly!"

"Well I'm glad I can be such help to your clan!" I got up and stomped off.

"Hey wait what's wrong?"

"I was hoping you'd wanna marry me and have a family because you loved me stupid!"

"I do love you Saki! That's why your mine! And I'll beat up any boy that says otherwise!"

He wrapped his small arms around me and a returned the hug. He was so tall.

"Ok kids time for lunch! You're only 10 there will be enough time for love later on."

I heard my mom giggle and speak with Sasuke's mom. He put something in my hand then we ran inside to eat and I couldn't help the big smile that spread across my face. He really loved me! I was his and he was all mine! I couldn't wait to grow up! I looked down in my hand to see a necklace with a small diamond heart. It was the prettiest thing I'd ever seen. I turned it over in my small hands and engraved on the back it read: "Uchiha property." I giggled, he was so sweet…

*Well that's it for tonight! I hope you enjoy! :3 Rate and Review 3
