Hello Lovelies,

Here is yet another update. Sorry if it took a while, I've been working on another story that I mentioned in the last chapter of PS.I Love You. It's something that I've been working on a while now and I kind of hope to have it up sometime this week. It deals with a much more darker, psychotic Sasuke: like crazy, I'm going to kill anyone for love type of Sasuke.

Here's a little preview….

"You're forgetting again Sakura. It's Sasuke-kun" he recited to her making sure to put extra emphasis on the suffix. Tears only continued to roll down her lovely heart shaped face,

"Please" she pleaded

"No, how are you supposed to remember your love for me if I let you go? Silly Sakura" He smiled as he placed a gentle kiss on her forhead, "Now who do you love?"

Sakura cried harder as she struggled against her bonds "Pleaseplease just let me go"

Bound to Death

Chapter 7: Her Sentence


Sakura panicked as she stood in front of her father whose eyes looked at hers for an explanation, "I-I-I can explain Otousan, Sasuke came in one night and I said yes, but I didn't mean to hide it from you, I just thought that as long as he was hidden that you wouldn't mind…oh god I'm so sorry!" She exclaimed as she grasp onto his leg begging forgiveness. He pinched the bridge of his nose, stressed out at what his daughter had done, and taking a long deep breath he sighed

"Sakura-hime, what are you talking about, Daddy doesn't see anyone in here but you."

Sakura's snapped open and she slowly let go of her father's leg and surveyed her room. Although the elder Haruno was goofy he did have a point, upon surveying her room the raven haired teen that pestered her nonstop during the day was nowhere in sight.

"W-where did h-he go?" she asked throwing the pillows almost turning over her room in search of him.

"Where did who go, my god Sakura what did you do to your room?" The older Haruno said as he noticed the sheets out the window, her clothes were scattered all over the floor and stuffed animals tossed everywhere, it literally looked as though a storm ripped through the place, "It's no wonder why you didn't want me up here, this place is a mess!"

"B-but Sasuke, didn't you just see him?" her eyes looked around her room wildly, they stopped when they landed on a familiar teen who was smirking, "There, Otou, he's right there!" she pointed behind him, the elder man looked behind him and then looked at her incredulously, "What boy Sakura? "

"Yea, what boy Sakura?" Sasuke purred still enjoying his obvious amusement.

Then it all clicked, of course her father couldn't see or hear him because he was in his Shinigami form. She sighed, she was made a fool of yet again, her father was probably going to put her in a loony bin. Hideki Haruno felt her head ,"Is my darling daughter getting sick?" he wrapped her up in her comforter that was tossed on the floor,

"Otou—" he put a finger to her lips, ""Don't worry hime Otousan will take care of this, I'll be right back" he said as he ran downstairs and proceeded to make soup as Sakura predicted.

"YOU A-HOLE WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU, NOW MY DAD THINKS I'M CRAZY" she yelled as she threw off the covers and tried to strangle Sasuke, who only laughed at her attempts, "I never thought being in the mortal realm would be this interesting, good job my pet for keeping me entertained" he patted her head. She shrugged him off and counted backwards from ten. She knew that if she were to look, she could probably spot a few wrinkles.

"Where were you all the rest of the day?"

He smirked with interest, "Are you starting to fall for me pet?"

"Uh yea Ok…NO YOU IDIOT, AND STOP CALLING ME THAT" she took deep breaths calming herself, "You pulled me away from Kiba, made me almost punch an old lady, and made my Dad think I have insanity issues, the least you can do is give me an explanation as to where you were." Sakura's emerald orbs observed Sasuke and she noticed that he seemed to be in deep thought, almost as if he was debating with himself on what to tell her

'he can't be hiding something from me right?'

"I went back to the Shinigami realm" he drawled out, something didn't feel right to Sakura, he was beating around the bush, a tactic that she knew too well.

"And?"

"I discussed with my parents about my choice in a bride, and I must say they are impressed"

"Oh, well at least they like me" she joked trying to liven the mood. He was amused at her naivety, but that still didn't hide the fact that as he looked at her green eyes he noticed that they showed a variety of emotions. Confusion, Fear, trust, Anticipation. Sasuke was conflicted it was true he did go back to the Shinigami realm to check in with his parents and upon discussing with them one thing they made sure to hammer in his head was simple: Sakura needed to die. He didn't know why but he was torn in telling her. It wasn't like he could go up to her and causally say, "hey well you know I said you were going to become my bride well it turns out you kinda have to die" he couldn't do that to her. He didn't know why but she wasn't supposed to make him think twice on anything.

"Sasuke"

He snapped out of his thoughts, Sakura giggled and his mind warped, it was that feeling again. He if he was going to become powerful this was going to need to stop.

"Sakura, we need to talk."

She gulped shit was about to go down.


"So what did you want to talk about anyway" she asked nudging Sasuke.

"Our wedding" he replied monotone.

For someone who was aching for marriage he didn't seem to like it much, and that angered Sakura. She was forced to do this, for a jerk who she had never met, a person who found pleasure in her pain, she needed to know why,

"Before we go into logistics about this I need to know something"

"Hn" he said passively as he studied her, wondering what question would further provide entertainment to him.

Sakura took a deep breath "Why did you pick me to be your fiancée anyway? Why not someone from your world?" she asked the moody boy. Both teens upon Sakura's request were sitting on top of the hill that looked over the city. It wasn't until he appeared in her life that she started to think about his true motives. Sasuke was quite the questionable figure, an enigma, a puzzle that she so desperately aimed to solve, but due to his cold exterior it was easier said than done.

"I already told you, you're what your kind calls 'easy on the eyes'"

"I'm not buying that, what's your real motive?"

He sighed, "Because I want to live the rest of eternity without you" in truth that wasn't all a lie, in fact many nights as he watched the pink haired girl sleep, he would catch himself thinking about the future and how bad it wouldn't be to have her by his side. He wasn't falling for her, because after all he was an Uchiha, more specifically he was a prince and royalty didn't fall for commoners, they used them.

"Bullshit, Sasuke there are 6 billion people in this world, yet you chose me, Sakura Haruno, a girl with no talent, no beauty, I'm nothing special" she narrowed her eyes at him, "There's a reason why isn't there? You need me for something right? I bet you need me for something huh"

He remained silent

"I knew it! So what's the deal?"

"Why are you so annoying? Look you want the truth then listen well human" he sneered making sure he had her full attention, "For Shinigami its required that we marry a human to keep the natural balance between your world and mine" he lied through his teeth but from her expression he knew she bought it. He knew that if he told her the real reason she wouldn't consented however lie or not she was still going to die, it was just easier letting her know that her death was going to be 'the valiant thing to do' so that other would be saved; others [unbeknownst to her] being his own self.

"So I become your bride and I live my life normally, thus creating balance and harmony to both worlds?" she asked making sure she understood the point.

He nodded full well knowing that her reasoning was flawed, "Correct, a life for a life"

Sakura paused "Excuse me?" she asked as she raised an eyebrow, "A life for a life?"

"Yes" he noticed the color draining from her face, "You honestly didn't think you would live here did you? In order for a life to be created here in your world, one must give up theirs. By becoming my bride you have consented to this agreement"

"w-w-what?" she stood loss of words as she stared intently at Sasuke not wanting to believe anything that came out of his beautiful mouth.

"Let me put it simply, In order for you to venture to my world and become my bride you have to die"

"No" she whispered not wanting to hear him anymore

"What?"

"You heard me I refuse to give up my life" Sakura stated a bit more defiantly, Sasuke only scoffed at her pathetic attempt to be strong,

"There's nothing you can do about it, its already been decided, the day I chose you was the day that your death became set…and believe me Sakura I intend on keeping it that way"

Not a moment after he said that did he feel his face burn, "what the…"

"You pompous jerk, if I had known dying was written in the job description then I would not have accepted…not that I had any choice anyway, but point being I refuse to give up my life for you!" tears poured from her eyes, "I refuse…I refuse" she hugged her knees closer in comfort as she cried. Sasuke sighed full well knowing her reaction to his news. In an odd sense seeing her cry didn't put him at ease in fact it was almost painful. Deep within is body he could feel the small pang of anger and pain growing, but it couldn't have been for her he was sure of it…At least he thought he was.

"How long do I have?" her voice snapped him out of thought, he noticed how cold her voice sounded he assumed by now her mind had gone to a point where attempting to 'hope for the best' was useless and instead it was already starting to deteriorate.

"Till the end of this month, specifically your death occurs on March 28 , 2011.." Sakura gasped

"…M-my Birthday"

"Precisely"


Another cliffy, le gasp! What will Sakura going to do now? Will she defy Sasuke or will she follow him? Hmmmm oh the possibilities. Be sure to stay tuned to Bound to Death, and I hope you like the preview for my newest creation Hopefully its out sometime this week.

xoxo
