Part four for you
Sakura knocked on Sasuke's door once before she let herself in. "Hey, Sasuke, I'm here."
The brunet raised his head, and gave her a short wave, then continued on with his task.
Sakura approached and kneeled beside him. "What are you doing?" She asked, then felt quite dumb for asking, he was packing up his three guitars, she recalled the amplifiers that she found in the drive way earlier. "Why are you packing your stuff up?"
"I am giving them away." He tilted his head to the side, then qualified, "I am giving them up."
Sakura's eyes went as wide as saucers. "Giving them away? Up? Are you buying new ones?"
"No." He answered bluntly. "I am not buying any more guitars, or pianos, violins, nothing."
She glanced at the waste bin and saw several of his musical notebooks torn there, as well as the one that he kept his songs. "Sasuke, what's the matter? Are you ok?"
"Yes." He answered forcefully. "I am ok, you and Kakashi need to stop asking me that, I am alright, I am just…giving up music."
Sakura drew back on her haunches and started at him, in stupor. "What about KIA?"
"To hell and gone." He answered, his tone indifferent. "But," Sakura protested. "You were going to attend this fall. You were accepted."
"I am done with that. This fall," He paused, then looked away from her, "This fall I am attending OU, and majoring in business."
Sakura exhaled, the breath was knocked out of her, she stared at him, shocked and heartbroken, and a million things more, none of them felt good. "OU?" She whispered. "That's all the way in Oto, right?" She couldn't find the guts to speak any louder. "You're moving?"
Sasuke paused, his head bowed, and then nodded briskly. "Yes, to my famil-" He cut himself off, "To the house, in Oto, with Kakashi."
Sakura shook her head, in denial. "But, you could go to school here, if you don't want music, fine, what's wrong with majoring in business here,"
Her boyfriend shook his head. "No, dad, he went there, he met my mother there, my brother was studying there, Oto is where they belong, it's where I belonged, but I stayed here, for music, and they were coming here to see me, and then-" He stopped, abruptly. "I am going there."
Sakura's eyes widened and she realized what this was about. "Sasuke, you feel guilty, you're bargaining." She placed her hand on his shoulder, "But this, it's not bringing them back." She stated softly.
Sasuke shrugged her hand off of his shoulder. "Don't." He said icily. "Don't, Sakura."
Nothing, not even the knowledge that he was grieving, could erase the feeling of betrayal and hurt that washed over her, so, without a word in protest, Sakura stood and left.
Kakashi intercepted her in the hall. He gave her a pitying look. "I am sorry, Sakura. I tried to talk him out of it, he wou-"
Sakura forced a smile to her lips. "I-It's f-fine, Kakashi." She croaked, it sounded lame even to her own ears, she was most definitely not fine, she was hurt and in pain. "H-he, he's just, I have to go."
She skidded past the man and hurriedly left. Kakashi stared after her, then started to climb the stairs, Sasuke was just coming out of his room.
"You know, you broke her heart, Sasuke." He chided. "She doesn't deserve that from you, not her."
Sasuke stared at him for a few heartbeats. "Did she leave?"
"You just missed her, you could still cat-"
Sasuke shook his head. "That's good, it's good is she leaves me, I don't want to leave her."
Kakashi was startled. "You want her to leave you? Sasuke, this is Sakura we're talking about, you love her more than…I don't even know, she's been here for you all this time, what's wrong with you?"
"Everything." Sasuke muttered. "Dad, he wanted me to study business, not music. I am studying business, now, I am taking over the company, and, Sakura, I don't want her to wait, I am trying to…she shouldn't wait. Did you clear up the admission in OU?"
Kakashi nodded. "The Uchiha had been making generous donations per year to the faculty, they had better accept you, even if it's on such short notice."
"When can we leave?" Sasuke asked.
"As soon as you want, Sasuke, but are you sure-"
"I am sure, a week's fine. I'll take these to the youth center," He gestured to the guitars that he had lined up against the wall. "Did you send the piano?"
"I did. Sasuke-"
"Kakashi." Sasuke cut him off, sternly. "I am leaving." I'm changing.
