I don't know.
I really don't.
It was really stupid to 'drink my sorrows away' with an ecstatic Ino who was finally happy that I'd agreed. I should've known she'd meet someone persuasive and leave my drunken ass alone.
It was even stupider to lose my virginity to someone I couldn't remember.
Wrong...
The man, who stumbled when he couldn't unlock his door fast enough, made me feelso much in such little time and be so gentle at the same time.
It was still wrong.
My eyes fluttered open, sighing when I checked the time. How very typical.
I felt something shift beside me, as strong arms pulled me closer and a nose pressed onto my back.
Why hadn't he left? Wasn't that part of a one-night-stand?
He kissed my shoulder gently, and muttered a tired "Morning beautiful."
My eyes widened.
The voice was eerily familiar.
I gasped once I was brave enough to turn, wishing dreadfully that I shouldn't have accompanied Ino.
His dark eyes bore into mine, longing in all sorts of ways, before he dipped his head and trailed kisses down my spine.
I jumped out of what I noticed now was a four poster, dark wood bed, crediting myself over not being able to sleep naked and hurriedly gathered the articles of clothing that was not ripped.
"Kushina?"
An eyebrow rose as I finished dressing and searched for my phone.
"It's rude to-"
"How dareyou." I bit out harshly. "How dare you take advantage of me?!"
"Can it be called that, if you were enjoying it?"
I stared shocked at his words. Not the enjoying part no, the fact that he was so relaxed.
"Well Sasuke, tell me how you felt when you were cheating on Sakura hmm?"
He only smirked, which did nothing but send cold shivers down my spine.
"You were part of it, and I can honestly say it was worth it."
"You disgusting little pig! I-"
Oh why didn't I notice he had gotten up, and we were face to face challenging each other?
"What? At loss of words?"
"How can you be so-"
My breath hitched when he grabbed my wrist and forced my fingers to slide down his torso in a snail's pace. Lingering on his well toned abs, he smirked at my flustered face and held my hand firmly on the hem of his sweat pants.
"We both like it, so why not?" He leaned in and brushed his lips against my neck.
"S-sakura.."
"Is not important."
"Stop it!" I roughly pushed him away glaring. "I was inebriated, drunk, and I'm never doing this," I flailed my arms meaningfully between us. "Is never happening again."
"No. You're mine Kushina, mine." he forcefully pulled me towards him and caught my lips in a searing kiss, always one to prove himself.
"What the heck is going on here?!" Sakura shrieked.
Sasuke stared wide eyed at me, apparently not at all expecting his pink haired girlfriend to come so early, as he gingerly let go of me.
"What are you doing?!" she shrieked again, her shopping bags dropped to the floor, a deafening buzz in my ears. "to my boyfriend!"
My jaw dropped. He was holding my face, in only boxers by the way, and supported a guilty expression and I, fully clothed with my hands trying to wrench him off with determination, and she thinks I was the one coming on to him?!
But I wasn't going to point fingers and kiss up to her, I was never that type of person. Even if my pride was lit in a blazing flame and incinerated due to Sakura's oblivious faith in him, I had far better things to do then to save a baseless friendship. So I successfully got Sasuke away and made way to leave, catching her wrist before her palm connected with my face.
"Don't even try." I dropped her hand and disappeared silently, my thoughts drifting to where Ino would be at a time like this, since I was in dire need of emotional help.
I wasn't invincible.
I was a girl.
A very, very stupid one at that, for letting someone like Uchiha Sasuke invade me and play me all the same. For being a puppet, and for not fessing up.
I should've pointed fingers.
I should've kissed up to her.
But I am Uzumaki Kushina...
Taking a sharp turn after I bathed and contemplated the purpose of life, I quickly threw on cuffed sweat pants, a hoodie and flip flops before driving to Hinata's.
Hinata wouldn't judge me.
She instead let me scream into her pillow, promising that it wasn't worth my efforts anymore, and one day Sakura will realize her mistake. And then I could walk away with my head held high.
Evil and sinisterous she was that day, making me wonder if dating Naruto was making her this way.
6 months later
I wasn't oblivious. I heard the rumors as soon as the first person decided to reveal them. Sasuke was searching for me relentless of the awful fact that I was the one he cheated on his girl friend with. Most deemed it forbidden lust, which put me off since they still thought I would stoop that low, but none spoke of it in my or his presence, since we were both equally fearsome.
He had broken up with Sakura the moment I stormed out that gruesome morning, Ino told me with a knowing smile. But I guess the Romeo and Juliet thing with the father having odd pink hair was getting in her head.
So I got in the elevator, pushing the button that would take me to Naruto's office and boredly skimmed through the folders I carried. The contraption shook before halting as I cursed not at all scared by the fact the elevator stopped between the twelfth and thirteenth floors. I sighed and tapped the emergency button before leaning on the wall to wait for someone.
"Kushina." I jumped wide-eyed, staring at the man who was behind my current reputation and couldn't help nut wonder how I hadn't noticed him before, or if the elevator stopping was his doing.
"W-what are you doing here?"
"Not for small talk obviously." he took a step forward, and I took a step back. "Stop pushing me away."
"Pushing you away? I have every freaking right to burn you right now! How dare you!"
"I told Sakura I took advantage of you." that made me retract my colorful swearing. "I'm sorry."
The fact that he apologized was crazy all by itself.
"I didn't technically come here to apologize though." he sighed, dropping his gaze and mumbled.
"What?"
"I said I'm in love with you."
Would anyone have been able to respond to that?
"Marry me."
"Sasuke I-"
"Will you marry me?" Why was he always so impulsive?
"You can't just go around and ask for...like it's that easy!"
"Isn't it? I don't like to unnecessarily complicate things; I love you and am of age to marry so why not?"
"Because."
"Because is not an answer."
My shoulders slumped.
"I believe the answer you are looking for is yes." he whispered, pulling up my chin and kissing me gently, something I thought him incapable of long ago. A circular object was pushed onto my left ring finger smoothly before he pulled me into a warm hug.
I lifted my hand and caught site of an arrogant black diamond glinting on a golden ring, smaller sized imitations encrusted in a fancy pattern.
It was funny how I use to call myself stupid.
I went off and married Uchiha Sasuke.
Can I get anymore idiotic?
"Stupid woman." I muttered.
"is something that you'll never be." he said, smirking.
Maybe he was the stupid woman. After all, he spray painted SASUKE+KUSHINA 4 EVA! on Sakura's car.
And he was twenty-seven.
God help the future children we'd have together.
