Chapter 4: Least expected
After the slam of the door, Sasuke could not stop pacing. He didn't know where to start, he wanted to open himself up to Sakura.
"Sakura...you have to stay away from Itachi."
"He looks like a gentle man. I see no threat whatsoever." Sakura knew where this was going, apparently her future husband was a jealous freak.
"What you see is not always what it seems...I think it's time I tell you my entire story. After all, you will be my wife soon and I don't want to lie to you." Slowly he walked up to Sakura, grabbing her hand he placed a light kiss on it.
"Itachi...he is my half-brother. Our father knocked up a modest, humble housemaid. That housemaid happened to be my mother. Fugaku, a man who easily slept with an innocent woman by force as if he had drank a glass of whiskey. I can only feel pain and anger toward that man. When I first arrived, Karin, one of the accountants received me with opened arms. She was the one that told me the news about Fugaku accepting me as his legitimate son."
"I-I..." Sakura stretched her hand to place it on his face, but Sasuke stepped away leaving her hanging.
"Don't...I'm not done yet. I don't remember my mother, she left me in the care of the ass of my father. All the time Fugaku, my father would beat me, day after day after day. When I began to grow up, Fugaku grew interest in me when Itachi failed him as a son. That is how I came to be an heir of the Uchiha, and for that reason Itachi despises me." Sasuke was feeling a tight knot in his throat, he was afraid that after what he was about to tell Sakura, she would turn away from him.
"Sakura...I'm a bastard." Sakura could not believe it, she would never have guessed that Sasuke was that kind of person. With such a high profile, and then him being rich just added to the shock. She didn't feel anger or even pity, she develop another feeling for the man in front of her...respect.
"That does not make you less of a person. Sasuke, I don't care what you are, you should feel accomplished for what you have worked for and everything you have done." Sakura with as much honesty as she could she smiled at Sasuke.
Sakura had to forget about Naruto, because of her social standing her relationship with Naruto would never be allowed. Maybe, perhaps she could grow to care for Sasuke...someday.
Wedding Day...
The banquet hall was filled with the noises of conversations, people smiling and admiring the new married couple.
Sakura had to fake her smile every time someone approached her, Sasuke would not leave her alone for a single second. Today she looked gorgeous, with her white and ivory gown, her arms were covered with satin see-through lace. Her vail was of the same texture, her trail was long and flowing, her hair was in a messy bun, with a few strands of her strawberry pink hair coming out to frame her delicate features.
Meanwhile Sasuke stood tall and proud with his tux, black and with a blood red dress shirt, decorated with a beautiful tainted red rose.
"I'm so happy today Sakura, you have made me the luckiest man on earth." Sasuke grabbed Sakura by the waist, pulled her to the dance floor to have their first husband and wife dance. Twirling to the beat of the music, slow and peaceful.
Two hours later...
"SAKURA!SAKURA!" Sakura turned around to find her childhood friend approaching her with unnatural haste.
"INO! Where have you been all afternoon?" Sakura stopped and looked at her friend's complexion.
"Well Sakura, I am very happy for you, but there is something that you need to know." Ino was hesitating, she wasn't sure if it was a good idea to let Sakura know, but she would feel guilty if she lied to her.
"Well tell me, what are you waiting for?!"
"...Well- Naruto is back and he told me that he wants to speak to you. He's outside, at the kiosk. Sakura I think-"
She was cut short, Sakura was already out the door before Ino could stop her. Running to the garden until she reached the Kiosk, that was when she saw him, Standing looking right at her.
"Y-you...it's a wedding dress..." Naruto could barely speak, he saw Sakura dressed as a bride and he didn't understand why.
"Yes...Naruto I'm married." She was already in tears, her heart was breaking in two. Seeing Naruto again affected her greatly and she didn't know how to explain it.
"How? How could you do this to me? Sakura I love you!" He rushed to her side, framing her face tightly, forcing Sakura to look at him.
"I couldn't stop it, my mother arranged everything! I had to save my family Naruto and you had left, so..." She was stuttering, her voice was breaking and she couldn't take it anymore.
"Let's fix everything Sakura...Come with me! Leave everything, let's be happy together. Don't let your mother take over your life, the life that WE can have." Sakura was thinking, she was married, the debt was paid, she could leave but her parents. On the other hand Naruto was right, she needed to think about herself for once.
"Okay, I'll go with you! I'll go get my luggage, wait for me here."
"I knew that you would understand." Both kissed, embracing each other's bodies, they had not seen each other for three months, Naruto wanted Sakura, and he had not stopped thinking about her since his departure.
Unwillingly Sakura and Naruto broke apart. Sakura rushed back to the banquet hall hoping that no one had seen her. Running to the upstairs room she took out her bags and began filling them with her dresses, and other garments.
"SAKURA! YOU THINK THAT JUST BECAUSE I PAID YOUR FAMILY'S DEBT YOU CAN LEAVE WITH THAT LOVER OF YOURS! YOU'RE VERY WRONG." Sasuke had rushed in, grabbed hold of her and tossed her back to the ground with a force that made all of Sakura's pins fall off.
"SASUKE STOP!" Sakura yelled at him, but Sasuke would not listen, he was filled with rage.
"I can't believe I was so stupid! I trusted you Sakura, I thought that you were growing to accept me. I was willing to give you everything!" pacing aggressively Sasuke was trying to hold his anger. "Sakura...I won't let you go, I bought you and you are mine!"
"Please...Sasuke. Don't do this to me!" Sakura was begging him, tears filling her eyes. She was sobbing uncontrollably, she had never seen this side of Sasuke before.
Sasuke went to Sakura, hoisted her up by the elbow and with a hissing sound he told her,
"I won't let you manipulate me anymore Sakura. I actually thought you were innocent, in reality you're... just another slut."
"Don't talk about me like that!" Sakura slapped Sasuke across the face. Everything went silent, Sasuke returned his murdering gaze back at her.
"Get your luggage, we are leaving tonight back to Konoha."
"I-I thought we were going to stay for another week, I-" she cut off by Sasuke.
"And let you run away with that man. No, Sakura I won't be that stupid again." with that Sasuke left Sakura, crying on the floor, looking like a wreck. Her life was officially going to be hell, now that Sasuke knew that Naruto was in town.
The following day...
Slowly the carriage halted to a stop, making Sakura realize that they were back in Konoha. All throughout the ride back Sasuke had not spoken a word to her, his anger had subsided and he was calmer, but that did not stop him from thinking about the previous events. Getting off first Sasuke like a gentlemen helped Sakura get down. Awaiting for them were the house staff and a woman that Sakura had not seen there before.
"Karin, this is my wife Sakura." Sasuke spoke with a blunt expression on his face.
" Madam, it's a pleasure to finally meet you." the woman had a deep red colored hair that flowed down to her lower back, and matched her intense looking eyes.
With that Sasuke harshly grabbed Sakura by the arm and pulled her inside the house. Sasuke led her to their room and let go of her when they were situated there.
"Please Sasuke, for the love of God, let me go home back to my family. If you no longer want to be married to me, than you can always divorce me." Pleading Sakura spoke to Sasuke, who was still pacing around their bedroom.
"No! The moment I let you go, you'll run back to that son of a bitch!" Rapidly Sasuke began to raise his voice, the rage was starting to crawl back up in him, and he couldn't stop it.
"I won't, I promise."
"LIES! I don't trust you anymore Sakura." Sasuke cut in, then quickly he trapped Sakura in front of a piece of furniture. Placing his face closely to hers. "One way or another you were sold by your mother, and I bought you! That gives me rights to have you!" Without further warning Sasuke began to ravish Sakura, kissing her neck, and then he began to undress her. Sakura was pushing him back with her hands, but had no luck in succeeding.
Pushing to the bed Sasuke did the most repulsive action that a man could do to a woman...he raped his own wife.
Laying on the bed like a lost puppy, Sakura could not stop shaking. She could not believe what had just happened between Sasuke and her, he had been her first and he forced her to sleep with him.
Sasuke felt loathsome, he had never wanted to hurt Sakura, but his anger overpowered his soul. He wanted to embrace her and tell her how sorry he truly was, kiss her and make it all better. He knew better than to touch her at that moment. Sasuke did not want to see her the way she was and so he decided to leave her alone. Gently he got up from the bed and walked to the room that was connected to the matrimonial suite where he had just been at.
Sakura noticed when Sasuke left, she didn't have the courage to even yell at him for what he had done. All she wanted was to go home, have her life back, she would have done anything to be back in Suna.
Later that day...
Unwillingly Sakura had gotten dressed and decided to take a walk to the garden. Now that Sasuke had gotten what he had wanted, maybe...just maybe Sakura could convince Sasuke to let her go. Divorce her and go back to her parents. It was decided, she was going to talk to him.
Sakura looked for Sasuke all around the house, it took her a while since the house was extensive and had a lot of rooms. Until, finally she found him in his studio checking some accounting books.
The moment she walked in, she had his full attention. Sasuke stood up from where he was sitting and walked up to her, grabbed her arm and gently pulled her inside the room.
"What do you want Sakura?" as he said this he let go of Sakura walking away from her.
"...all I want is to go home. You got what you wanted, and there is no use for me now." she spoke quickly, no wanting any interruptions from Sasuke.
"That's what you want, but I can't do that. Besides you parents would notice your return and will become suspicious. In the case that you do go back and we get divorce, then you family would have to pay me back, and I don't think you want to cause your father that pain." Sasuke was not mad, he spoke with logic and grace never diverting his gaze from Sakura.
"I understand that. We could lie, say that we just don't understand each other, and cannot be together any longer." Sakura pleaded.
"They are not that naive Sakura, they will find out. To get a divorce you need a reason. I would well comprehend abuse, adultery even incompetence but divorcing because the woman wants to go back to her lover. I don't think that is proper Sakura."
"T-then...what is your idea?" Sakura stuttered, she was afraid.
Sasuke walked to Sakura grabbed both of her shoulders and without hesitating he spoke.
"I will let you go Sakura." Sakura's heart was beating a mile a minute, she couldn't believe that Sasuke was letting her go, just like that.
"In return... I want you to bare me a child."
