What's up guys !
So I'm trying to update every week with a new chapter. Special shout out to those who decided to follow this story. I promise I won't let you guys down. So here's chapter three. Enjoy !
A sense of dread had settled uncomfortably in the pit of my stomach as the silence hung in the air. It was deafening and stiff you could drag a knife through it. I needed to say something, to fill this silence with words, or sounds, but I bit my lip knowing I would only make it worse. The silence seem to cling to us like a poisonous snake, slowly wrapping itself around the little ray of hope of breaking through, an escape.
"I thought you could handle it"
Tenten words seem to echo throughout the room, becoming louder than they were spoken.
"I let you go knowing how much you wanted to be like a normal teenage girl"
Guilt started gnawing at my insides and I clench my hands trying to at least stop myself from completely shutting down.
"Ten...I-I'm S-sorry"
She started to laugh, taking a step closer. Neji was on guard, ready to step in if anything were to happen. Although I wish he would, his input would be so much better than this.
"Sorry? Can your sorry save you from the Head House if that wolf ratted you out?!" She yelled.
She never yelled at me. I felt my eyes starting to sting and knew tears were going to start running when my vision begin to blur.
"B-but he let me g-" I was starting to stutter when she caught me off.
"It 0doesn't matter. You know the council have it out for you. You're not a pure blood. You could've been kill!"
I flinched as the words left her mouth. Tears finally made their way down my cheeks. She stared at me for a few seconds before closing her eyes, taking a breath.
"Sakura, I didn't me-" She started saying looking at me but I caught her off.
"I-I'm sorry. You're right, I should've been more careful. I'm sorry."
With one last look at her, I ran out the house.
I pulled my black hood over my soaked form as I slowly walked in the rain. It started out as small drops but became chaotic as they hit the ground with a large thud. I clench my arms tightly to my sides as the coldness began to seep through my hoodie. My legs were getting a bit wet since my sweats absorb most of the water but it was making it harder to move.
But I walked on, taking slow steps, as the rain wash away my old tears as new ones came. A sob wrenched itself from my lips as my arms hug me tightly.
Tenten...
Why did I do that? Why did I upset the one person who made me who I was today? I was nothing without her. Just an orphan with amnesia and people who didn't want me around. She was the only one who stop to ask if I was ok. The only one to stick by me and allow me in her home. I shouldn't have drank that boy blood, I shouldn't have trusted that wolf. What if he did tell the Head House?
It'll be like last time.
Last time when they trailed me. If Tenten wasn't there I'll be-
Dead.
My legs numbly gave out underneath me and I began to drop, letting my body hit the ground as I cried. Only that didn't happen. Before I hit the ground strong arms wrapped themselves around my waist, holding me upright.
"You okay?" The stranger that help me asked, his voice sending goosebumps across my neck as he whispered in my ear.
I took a deep breath before gaining back my strength and pushing myself away from him.
"You should take it easy, yeah." He said coming around and standing in front me. I held my breath and watched as his eyes dance over my form, trying to find an injury.
His eyes were blue, sapphire blue. Different shades of blue seem to swirl together making a whirlpool.
What the hell is up with these exotic drowning pools of colors?
All I could do was stare into them and had to force myself to take him all in. Which was another heart stopping event all on its own. His blonde hair was matted against his face from the rain and the cold made his lips look pouty. I trailed my eyes down his broad shoulders, which a leather black jacket draped over them. He had on a dark navy shirt which clung to his body letting me see the outline of his muscles as he breathed. I bit the inside of my cheek and look back up to him.
God damn.
"Hellooo? You there?, yeah." He said suddenly. My eyes instantly snapped to his lips.
"You're not ok then?" He asked. We stared at each other as he drew my eyes to his. The rain seem to be forgotten and the drops that hit the ground sounded so far away.
What was happening? Why did I feel a urge to nuzzle my head in his neck?
"What are you doing out here in the rain, yeah?" He asked again. I stood there for a few seconds, suddenly feeling like an idiot, and back away slowly.
He looked at me and press his lips together, stuffing his hands in his pockets.
I turned around running back the way I came.
Whats wrong with me?
I don't know but meeting two fuckable guys, one after the other, you should count that as a blessing.
With my heart pounding against my chest I made my way back home.
Maybe Tenten knows whats up.
