I need to practice the violin and piano today, but...
The update is late, I knew. Please forgive me (again) and enjoy the chapter!
Disclaimer: Not today, fellas.
The war was disastrous, destroying ten villages and taking many lives. This wasn't as bad as the wars before, actually. Back then, warriors died alone, villages were burnt to the ground, and little girls were raped brutally.
I tried not to think of Sakura being one of those in the war in her past life. Keyword: tried. No matter what, I kept fighting, but not for my own bloodlust.
No.
It was for Sakura this time, even though she wasn't even involved in this. Instead of heading back up to my home, I decided to rest on earth, under a tree. The smell of blood still clung to my robes, and my sword was completely crimson.
My guard was completely down, and I wouldn't trade the world for this relaxed feeling.
I could feel myself drifting off to sleep...
"Wh...Why? Sasuke..."
Normally, I would have loved waking up like this. Hearing Sakura's voice...
Except she sounds sad, depressed this time. I jolted up and saw the most horrible sight in the world: a naked woman on top of me who wasn't Sakura.
Sakura was standing off to the side, tears filling up her eyes. The look was horrible, like she was ready to run away at any moment. The naked woman (nymph...?) stared at me with orange lustful eyes. The eyes weren't comforting and caring like Sakura's; they were hot and sexy, but not loving.
I quickly pushed the woman away and grabbed Sakura, the both of us disappearing to my room. At the moment, I couldn't care less for the naked woman on earth.
Pulling her down to my bed, I hovered above her and carressed her cheeks softly.
"Sakura, you will not cry. I'm innocent, and that woman pushed herself onto me when my guard was down. I will only take you as my bride, and no one else."
Her hands flew up to her eyes in an attempt to hide her tears from me, but I wouldn't allow it. I held her wrists together and pulled them down, then sat her up and kneeled in front of her.
It's time.
I pulled her hads into mine and kissed them.
"Our relationship will face more problems like this one, but we'll have to stand strong together. You've already passed the tests that we originally planned out for you, and for me to see your reaction in a situation like that makes me feel..."
I nuzzled into her lap, but I was sure to not muffle my words.
"...Now, I can't think of being with anyone but you. What have you done to me?...Marry me, Sakura. Become my wife and bear my children."
Imagine my surprise when she lifted my head and kissed me. At first, it was just a peck on the lips, but I, being the god of war, turned it into a heated, passionate kiss/make-out session. Sakura pulled away from me after a few mintues and shook her head in the negative.
"Sasuke-kun, it's nice to know that you would marry me without passing the last three tests, but I want to know you more. You know, I've always wanted to go on a date on earth..."
"Hn."
Dammit!
"If it's a date you want, it's a date you'll get! Tomorrow at sundown, wear your most exquisite gown and meet me here."
"Hehe, thanks Sasuke-kun."
She leaned over to give me a hug, and I did all I could to cherish the moment.
"Alright, but be ready to be surprised when you see me."
With a wink, she left the room and left me alone.
So what do you think? Was it okay? Yeah, this was rushed, but expect more. Visit my profile to see whn the soonest update date is for my stories!
