His eyes took in the new, but familiar and old livingroom. Seeing the couches and chairs as they were time ago, and the same old wallpaper, but a more modern t.v in place of the ancient one that had once occupied the same spot. Her body he noticed had changed little as well, perhaps a little more weight in the stomach area. Her hips swung in front of him, leading him to the couch.
"So, anything to eat?"
"No." Ami frowned, but went into the kitched anyway, Sasuke kept his hands folded into each other, thinking over what had happened in the last thirty minutes. Making Sakura happy, making Sakura want to kill him. He knew he'd be dead tomorrow, whether from Sakura, her friends, or his friends, or even worse, all three of them put together. He sighed and leaned into his hands, spreading out like eagle wings and letting his forehead rest against them.
Ami came back out with a mug in her hands, also noticed her face seemed to have more make-up on all of a sudden. He dismissed it and figured she was planning to go out before he came, and just finished her final touches.
"So, why are you here?"
"It's raining to hard for me to drive all the way home."Sasuke's eyes didn`t stray from the t.v, watching as it lit up and came to life, giving the dull a room a faint glow.
"Well, you are more then welcomed to stay here." His body felt something brush against an arm, but figured she was getting more comfortable and merely brushed it. The silence ate him up, it felt like it was trying to make him feel even more guilty then what he already does about Sakura. Something, another sound caught his ears, moving, rustling of clothes. He turned his only for his lips to be blocked.
Ami had pushed his body onto the couch, her lips locked tight onto his, but Sasuke no move to support or end it. She had caught him completely off guard, he knew she had feelings for him, but shouldn`t they have gone away by now? His hands came up to her hips, trying to pry her body off of his. Her hands at the same time locking onto his still wet shirt, Sasuke biting on her lip to make her let go.
Her body moved off his a little, a hand holding the slightly bleeding lip. Her eyes widening when she moved her finger into her eye view and saw the red on her hand. Sasuke watched as she did it all, almost as if she's innocent of not kissing him. His heart sunk deeper than his stomach, willingly or not he had practically cheated on Sakura. He should've just gone home.
"Why, why did you kiss me Ami? You know I have a girlfriend!" His voice came out harsh and bitter, a tone he had never really used with her before.
"I-I-I. I know. I just, couldn't stop myself. You never actually gave me a chance." Her eyes fell down and starred at his stomach, little tears forming in her eyes, but not wanting to flow down her skin. Sasuke shook his head, he really should've gone home.
"And you definitely won't get on now, I'm going. I hope you don't plan on talking to me again." Ami's eyes widened as he pushed her off him, lifting himself up and finding his own way out. It was like a video stuck on reply for her, just repeating over and over, never ending. It happened all those years, both had agreed, but this time, she did it. All by herself. Her body shook as the door shut, an engine starting up loud, and dimmering as her tears fell.
I felt the rain becoming lighter, my back only being hit in certain spots and in a lighter sense. The puddle under me still. All the water drained out of my body, sitting on the surface of everything, the ground, my clothes, my skin, my face, all just sitting there. I don't even know why I'm still out here, by now I'll probably get sick, and my father will be yelling at me for stupididity, ready to kill Sasuke at the same time.
I kept my head down, even as my neck became stiff and feelingless. I looked up when I heard an engine, hoping it would be Sasuke, but no luck. I saw the mercedes make the turn towards me. The vehicle only slowed down for parking, not for Sakura. My eyes widened as the monster vehicle from my point on the ground came towards me. It all seemed to go in slow motion, my wide eyes watching, the car squeaking, my okay life flashing before my eyes! The sound of yelling brought me out of it. Looking up to find my father red faced yelling at me, his hands going which ever way.
"Are you stupid Sakura? What the hell are you doing out here? Look at you you`re gonna get sick! Why are-" And the yelling went on and on, finally he seemed ot stop, his face still beating red, and I could imagine how high his heart rate must be right now.
"Dad, I, can we go inside?"
"Yes, but you are not off the hook young lady!" I meekly nodded and grabbed his hand as he helped me up. My feet slipping and sliding in the big mud puddle, a Sakura shape knees dent printed in it. I turned away and looked towards the house, the door still open. Oh, shit.
"Sakura? Why is the door open?"
"The wind?" I gave a cheesy smile and watched my father shake his head, opening the other door and walking in that way, trying to avoid walking through the puddle that had formed on our corridor floor.
"I'll get a towel, you go take a hot bath."
"Yes father." I walked farther down hall, reaching the steps and heading up them, getting halfway before I took my phone out, or tried to . Both my pockets empty. I had it earlier, and I would have seen it on the ground downstairs.
"Oh shit."
"Sakura, language."
"Yes dad." I did not drop it outside, when it was pouring rain, and there is no dry land? I so did. I sighed and headed back up the steps.
The water steamed the room, mirrors fogging up from the heat. I thought I caught some sickness earlier when I sneezed, but I have yet to sneeze again, it must have been a loop-hole sneeze. The bubbles began too visible over the porcelain tub, my hand turning the shining silver knobs to turn the water off. My towel fell down to the ground, blending in with the other white tiles.
My body sank in, a slight too hotness to the water, but nothing I couldn't shimy into. I let my muscles relax and leaned back against a bath pillow, feeling the bubbles move and morph to me. The feeling of pure bliss reached my mind, everything seemed to not matter, almost a fake high off of a hot, soothing bath. I sighed and lifted a leg up, as they do in movies, you know when the dasmel is in the bath and lifts her leg up and starts singing. Only I can't sing, so no song to go with the leg lift.
I let the anger and confused feelings towards Sasuke disappear as I focused on the bubbles, my mind drifting off. When he had left the rain started to pelt down hard, beyond blinding, I would know. I hope he got somewhere safe, home. His mom was so nice, and pretty, I wish I could have met his dad though. The weirdest thing I thought though, well, only weird thing, was the picture of Sasuke and some other boy, both looking younger. When I first found it in his room, I had no idea who it could be, an old friend, maybe?
But now? Most likey his brother. The one he had been yelling at me about. I didn`t even now he had a brother! I didn't know his mom had attended KCU! I didn't know his dad has good and bad days! Why the hell had he started yelling at me? My body slumped against the porcelain tub, making a splash, and sending the water and bubbles around the area.
Everything seemed to be hanging on a line, something would be hanging up perfectly, all fine and wrinkle free, but than something comes and blows them down. Or ripping them down, the once wrinkle free items becoming wrinlked, the pins finally giving away, dirting. Sasuke's the one pulling them down though, or something in him.
My body started to shiver as the water temperature began to drop, the once eighty-ninety water becoming sixty fast, and still dropping!
The water turned and churned as it went down, forming a little mini water-tornado. The mud from earlier, following it down, I didn't even realize that I had mud on me. But it washed away too, all just going down and down. Maybe I should event a bath and shower that the water goes up! Maybe, that would make everyone happier, all their troubles would go up, and not sinkingly down.
My feet made slight sounds on the wettened tile, the mirror fogged up. My hand wiped it and I laughed at how my hair had become, my turning and dunking making the locks go into one another, but the humidity from the steam in the room making it all fuzz up a little. I gave a small smile, wishing that it could be bigger and more alive, especially not a small smile because my hair become awkward.
My mood slightly lightened when I found that the maids had washed my favorite sweats and Sasuke`s hoodie, allowing me to bask in the feeling off soft clothes, and Sasuke. His scent seems to be rootted into the fabric. I tried to call him, but no signal, although in an odd way, that raised my hopes. It means that he might not be ignoring me. Weird. Confusing. Yes.
Nothing new.
The rain had steadied out since I was soaking in my own misery, and lightning only flashing every so often. I'm in a way, glad we don't have a dog; I remember hearing and reading about how dogs get so scared from storms. Hiding in weird places, breaking things, and possibly dying if something bad happens and they're to scared to move. That would be the worse, loosing your dog because of a storm. Mother nature on her period.
The lightning striked in the window, lighting my sillhouette onto the wall. A tree branch creaking around my body, a gust of wind picking up and blowing the limbs around, the windows shaking. I paused to look out, and around, creeped out by what seemed to be unnatural silence? I finally listened and notice, nothing, not one little tap, even the rain seems to be silent.
My body shivered, those little nagging thoughts swirling around. Go back up? Or, go down?
Maybe, he went to bed?
The air became cold, colder, as if I am the only living thing in the house. My common sense told me to go back up to my room, stay in their, and wait; but that little nagging voice told me somewhere inside me told me that I should go down, see.
See, see what?
The steps for once in their life seemed to echo creakily, every step watched, and heard. I felt more chills as I entered downstairs, listening for anything. My feet made the last two steps, coming into the livingroom. I opened my eyes fully, coming away from the ground, into the darkness of the house, barely lit.
The lightning striked, illuminating the luxurious room, all the furnishings coming to life, their arms and cushions looking like monsters, ready to take any victims. I saw it, the lightning, striking it perfectly.
His head stayed unmobile in his hands, their palms pressed into his cheeks. His eyes starring out into the darkness, the wet, cold, blissless place no one would want to be uncovered. He remembered Sakura, her body falling to the wetening ground as he pulled out. Surely the foolish girl would have been wise and gone inside soon. Wouldn't she?
He had left Ami's area as fast as he could, the car going way too fast for the weather that had been out, is, out, although in a strange way, it seems calmer than earlier. He could hear the faint ring of telephone, one surely that needed to be replaced sooner than later. All the wires too probably. He could hear his mother picking it up and speaking into it, her voice light as a feather with the other noises.
He kept going over thing in his head, what to do next? He had feelings for Sakura, strong ones, nothing he's ever felt before; but he felt as if she does deserve better, she would support him, the guy. It sounds sexist, but that's just how he feels it should be. Sure, he knows Sakura wouldn't want to be up on a pedestial every second 24/7, but he would like to buy her nice things, and take her out to fancy restaurants that women want to go, and can brag to their friends about.
The soft voice of his mother's ended, leaving an empty space in the house. He had gone straight into his room once he had gotten home, parking his mother's car in the garage and shutting it before everything could get wet. He had blown right by his mother, not even acknowleding her concerned face. He felt another guilt mark added to his soul. How many did that make? And just in one day?
"Sasuke?" Sasuke raised his head out of his hands, his mother standing in his open doorway, nothing on her face. Had something, gone wrong?
"Yes, mother?"
"I just wanted to tell you that Naruto and his parents will probably be coming over soon, their house lost power, and they need somewhere to stay, so I invited them over? That's okay right?" Truthfully, he didn't mind them coming over, Naruto's his best friend, and his parents have always been fond of them, he thought of them as second parents. And, if he even said it wasn't okay his mother would just ignore him and still have them come over.
"Of course mother." He got off his depressed ass and walked to her, giving her a light kiss on her forehead.
"Good, I'll be in the livingroom." He nodded, and proceeded back to his sulking self. The clock seemed to echo, every litltle tick.
Tick.
Tick.
Tick.
Something came over him. A cold, haunting feeling, making his spine shiver. He opened his eyes to look for something, someone in the window, but nothing. The wind had picked up, yet as he sat there, he could feel it. Something wrong. Bad. Something that shouldn't be happening.
The phone rang.
Her eyes saw the glint of the handle. The stainless steel shining in the pure light. Her eyes stayed on the handle, and missed the shooter in the time she starred at it. She saw the barrel focused on someone, a person, her dad! She could barely make out his shape, his hands held up in a surrender, body slumped into a chair, his favorite. The gun holder payed no mind to Sakura, that or not seeing her in the darken house, Sakura couldn't make out their shape.
Her eyes widened as it all happened in slow motion, another flash of lightning coming down, the room becoming darker even as the bright light came in through the windows. It all happened.
Slow.
Slow.
Nothing.
Sorry this has come out sooo late! I started, then I lost all my motivation! So, blah nothing came out, and now I got it back. Yes, it is kinda short, but that is because I had to build up to the next chapter, that will take a while to come out.
And, and, I have a new one-shot idea coming out in the mean-time! A high school/college mix, as you voted for. And, I'm hoping to start a early 1900s fic once B. comes to an end shortly. Okay.
Oh, and I plan to take on day and go through all my stories, fixing all my mistakes, if you see one feel free to tell me so I can fix it. I hope this Friday I can do this.
You guys have reached the review goal I set! You actually went over it, but with me being on hiatus for a while I couldn't tell you reached it, but you did! So, I have set the new one on my profile if you wish to look, you can start reviewing on the story you wish to update. It can be any story, a one shot, chapter story, complete or incompleted, except Pool Boy/Clash of Histories because it would wreck the story. Sorry guys. So please start reviewing for that. End not decided yet, but review for it please!
P.S Read other stories, fav, sub, and all that please and thank you!
~Chao!
