Chapter 9: He wasn't bluffing!
Previously:
"Nothing just…you were busted-again I suggest you try to avoid the third time, cause my patience has it's own limits" Sakura sneered at him and continued walking towards Starbucks parking lot. When they finally come there their eyes widened in shock.
"No freaking way?!?!" Sakura said as she took in the unbelievable sight before her emerald eyes.
All of the gang gathered just in time to catch Naruto and Hinata making out. Wait what? 0_0
"Come on people it's nothing, leave them al-OH MY FUCKING GOD NARUTO YOU'RE DEAD!!!" Neji turned to walk away but when he realized what was actually happening he lunged himself at Naruto. Shikamaru and Sasuke stopped him just in time, keeping him away from Naruto who looked dead scared by now.
"Nii-san p-please c-c-calm down" Hinata stuttered out. She blushed so much that she put the tomatoes to shame. Neji was fuming and saying profanities at Naruto while struggling to get free from Shikamaru's and Sasuke's grip.
"Neji that's enough. Calm you fucking ass down." Sasuke growled.
"Don't fucking tell me to calm down. I don't want that dobe near Hinata" Neji growled in response.
"I know it's twisted but calm down."
"Sasuke is right. You have to calm down. And if the dobe wants to be with Hinata then let him be" Neji stopped and glared at Shikamaru "That way if he does anything to Hinata we can decapitate him" Shikamaru continued and smirked at the idea. Neji and Sasuke smirked as well and turned to glare at Naruto who was hiding behind Hinata. Naruto shuddered when he felt three cold glares pointed towards him.
"You're right, you're right. I will kill you in the most painful way, then I'm gonna cut you into little pieces and feed them to the dogs if a single hair from Hinata is missing. Now let's go home." Neji said as he moved towards his car but soon stopped when Tenten wasn't behind him.
"Tenten let's go" Neji said when he spotted her. She was talking to Sakura and Ino.
"Do you mind using simpler words? I'm too stupid to understand" Tenten said sarcastically.
"Come on Tenten I already said I'm sorry"
"What did he do?" Ino asked.
"He called me stupid." Tenten and Ino folded their arms and Sakura well she was still drunk to actually care about anything.
"Tenten I'm so sorry I was angry at you"
"The train had passed Neji. Come Ino let's go home" She turned on her heel and walked into Ino's car. Neji groaned loudly and kicked a can that was standing near his foot.
"What's up Neji?"Shikamaru asked the obviously angered Neji.
"I messed up, that's what. Ugh how could I be so stupid?"
"Neji, man what did you do now?" Sasuke asked.
"Nothing" Neji said shyly "I called Tenten stupid" he muttered the last part and lowered his gaze down.
"Um…What did you do? I didn't hear you"
"I called her stupid, Ok? I know I messed up but I was angry at this drunk over there" He pointed towards were Sakura once was. "By the way, where is Sakura?" Sasuke's head jerked to the side and when he saw that Sakura was gone his eyes narrowed to slits.
"I'm gonna kill her for sure" Sasuke growled as he went looking for her. Neji and Shikamaru mouthed an "Uh oh" and left towards their dorms along with Naruto and Hinata. Sasuke was running towards the park where they were seating minutes ago. 'Shit where could she be?!'Sasuke thought angrily as he ran towards the bench where they were seating. He spotted the pink haired girl lying on the bench and fastened his pace.
"Where the hell-" he stopped when he saw that Sakura had fallen asleep on the bench. Sasuke sat down on the bench beside Sakura and pushed a stray pink strand out of her face. His eyes softened when he saw the peaceful expression she had. 'She's so beautiful-What the hell am I thinking, I should probably wake her up.'
"Sakura, wake up. We have to go home. Sakura…" Sasuke whispered softly as he shook her shoulders lightly.
Sakura mumbled. "Sasuke-kun don't leave me…Don't leave me with Gaara. He's mean…" Sasuke's eyes widened and his mouth gaped open. 'Did she just say…Gaara?' He shook her shoulder again, this time her emerald eyes fluttered open and met with onyx.
"What did you do to Monkeybrains? Where did he go?" Sakura stood up from the bench and probably went looking for Monkeybrains (whoever that was) but Sasuke stood up with her and stopped her.
"You'll look for him later. Now let's go we have to get going." And they left towards the parking lot.
"You're really mean you know that?" Sakura said as she was being dragged towards the parking lot.
Sasuke grunted "Hn"
"Yes you are and I'm happy to inform you that I'll have Slinky, kidnap you and probably chop you into pieces. If I may add-"
"Sakura shut the hell up. And no you may not add anything because you're currently drunk despite all of my efforts to sober you up and if you don't hurry it up, I'll have your pink haired ass dragged over to Tsunade's and get you punished for the rest of eternity. I will personally make sure that your emerald eyes never see the broad of daylight." Well that was certainly a choice of words uncommon for an Uchiha. Sakura sent him an incredulous look as if he was the drunken one, not her.
"See that's why I have friends like Slinky."
"Who the hell is Slinky?"
"My friend...Duh!" She said in a childish manner.
Sasuke rolled his eyes "Ugh I give up".
"Yeah you better, because you know that I always win." Sasuke decided to drop the matter and continued to rush forward the parking lot. He found the three teens leaning over the cars that were parked and chatting casually.
"Hey Sakura-chan, are you sober?" The chirpy voice of Naruto was heard.
"Slinky will have his revenge" She yelled as she pointed her balled fists up in the air. "He shall, believe it." Everyone sweat dropped. Sasuke sighed and pushed her fists down.
"I…guess not" Naruto said.
"So did you find out anything?" Sasuke asked the three boys, who looked at Sakura incredulously as she tried to fight back with the flies that simply…weren't there. "Uhhum " Sasuke coughed so he could get their attention.
"I just found out that she did everything that she did, for us, especially you and me, Uchiha. But that's about everything Tenten told me." Neji said, never averting his gaze off of Sakura.
"How about you two?"
"Well Ino told me the same thing, though nothing more." Shikamaru shrugged and went back to his cloud gazing.
"Hinata didn't tell me anything."
"What? Why?" Sasuke said.
"Well…I um… I don't know she didn't want to talk." This statement earned him a smack from Sasuke.
"Even a dobe like you could get Hinata to spill out her deepest secret, let alone a stupid thing as Sakura's whereabouts."
"Well if it was that easy why didn't you ask her yourself? Heck maybe you would have heard about her darkest secret." Now this earned him another smack on the head.
"Because she's your sweetheart not mine." Sasuke said and muttered a low 'dobe'.
"O...Kay, you're talking about my cousin here."
"I wanna go home" Sakura butted in.
"Yeah I agree, you should take her home Teme. Being in the drunken state that she is, she might tell you something. Heck you could do whatever you want to her" Naruto earned himself two growls and two smacks on his head from Neji and Sasuke.
"Ouch, that fucking hurt" Naruto was rubbing his now sore head. "Do I have a note on my head saying 'Hit me it's free'?!" Sasuke smacked him on the head once again.
"I wouldn't pay even if it wasn't free. Dobe" Sasuke muttered and turned his attention towards Sakura. "Sakura come on, I'm taking you home"
"Hold on, you're with your bike. She's not able to ride on the bike with you." Neji said.
"Yeah I guess you're right. Well okay then you take her home. " Neji cocked an eyebrow. 'How come the Uchiha backed away so easily?'Neji thought but decided not to dwell on that.
"Come on Imouto-san, let's go home" He took Sakura's hand in his and led her towards his red Ferrari Spider. He opened the door and the pink haired girl happily slumped inside. After he sat behind the steering wheel he stepped on the gas pedal and zoomed out of everyone's view. Sakura tilted her head sideways, cracked her knuckles and supported her head by propping her elbow on the window and cupping her face with her palm. Then she saw something funny through the window and hurried to stretch her head out of the window. Neji pulled her inside the car.
"What are you doing Sakura?"
"I'm stretching what does it look like I'm doing? Milking a cow?" Sakura snorted and turned to stare out of the window. Neji opened his mouth to speak but Sakura cut him off.
"You know, there are these green cows. I'm not sure how they're called but they don't give ordinary milk."
"And what do they give?" Neji felt a little stupid, well actually very stupid for asking that but he felt somewhat intrigued about what was the next thing that Sakura would say.
"They give milktonium"
"Milktonium? Sakura?" She gave off a small 'mhm' "Shut up" Neji told Sakura, as she pouted with her arms folded in front of her.
"Are we there yet? This is taking forever" Sakura sighed.
"Well I'm sorry, but this isn't too fast to furious" Neji said.
Sakura scoffed and said "Yeah, I've noticed. Judging by your fucking granny driving, I'd say this is Driving miss Daisy."
"Gee Sakura, do you eat with that mouth?" Neji said sarcastically, but he slapped himself inwardly because fighting with a drunken person was indeed pointless. Finally after half an hour they arrived at "Konoha boarding school". You're probably wondering why it took them half an hour to get there. Well Neji didn't want to meet with Tenten because of what happened earlier that day.
Neji dropped Sakura off to her dorm and left reluctantly towards his. Sakura put her hand hesitantly on the doorknob and opened the door. She slid into the dark room and headed towards the bathroom. She stumbled on few things, while in the room.
"Ouch…for fuck sake who put that thing there?" Sakura muttered to herself as she rubbed her sore knee. She proceeded towards her bed, but she knocked a vase over and caused it to crash on the floor. Sakura cursed inwardly. She stood up and walked towards what she thought was her night table. She opened the drawer and she took out something from it. Before she could make another step, she found herself pinned on the floor, with her hands caught in someone's firm grasp. Sakura gasped as her eyes landed on a pair of crimson eyes that were flashing in the dark.
"S-s-Sasuke?" Sakura asked unsure.
"Sakura what were you doing?" Sasuke asked angrily. He refused to release Sakura.
"Well I was trying to get into the room, but it was too dark and I couldn't find the light switch on, and then I tripped over something and me knee hurts and..." She broke down in tears, mid sentence. Sasuke watched her incredulously.
"Karin, switch the lights on and leave" Sakura's eyes widened. 'K-Karin was here?'
"Ahh but Sasuke-kuuun…" Karin whined but Sasuke cut her off. (A/N: Ok before you hang me for this there's an explanation. Yeah Sasuke and Karin had something, and so will Neji and Ami, etc. I will explain everything to you in the next chapters.)
"Leave, Karin. Now!" Sasuke growled.
"Ok, but call me. So we can have fun, you know" She winked at Sasuke, switched the lights on and went over to where Sasuke had Sakura pinned on the ground. Karin kissed Sasuke's cheek and murmured in his ear. "Bye, bye Sasuke-kun, call me when you want a little more…fun!" then she turned towards Sakura and made a sneer "Pathetic little drunk girl. You must be drinking because you're too ugly. So sad" with that statement she earned herself a glare from Sasuke, but she shrugged it off and left. Sakura was left with nothing but stare at the Uchiha. She might be drunk (not as much as before tipsy at the very least.) but she wasn't stupid. Sasuke had something with Karin and it certainly ticked off Sakura. Sasuke's eyes landed on the wallet she held in her hands.
"What the hell are you doing with my wallet?" Sasuke tightened his grasp on her wrists.
"I thought that was my nightstand. All I wanted to do was get my wallet, I never intended taking yours. Sorry." Sakura said. She was really looking for a pill; she never intended to go through his night stand little less take his wallet.
"Why were you trying to get your wallet in the first place? Oh, maybe you needed money to buy something to drink. Seeing as you didn't have enough tonight" Sasuke said the last part sarcastically. His face was stoic and it held no expression.
She wriggled under him, but he held her in place. "Just…let me go" She whispered and averted his eyes. Sasuke's eyes softened when he saw her pained expression but only for a second. His face returned to its former stoic form.
Sasuke grunted. "Hn" and he let go of her wrists. He quickly walked into the bathroom and slammed the door behind him. Sakura started crying as she lifted her self up from the floor. She threw Sasuke's wallet on his bed and she slumped on her own bed. 'Why is he so cruel? What did he even do with that slut? She kissed him on the cheek and he let her! He didn't even grunt. Maybe it's for the best to finally forget about him and move on. Just move on…' she trailed off, as she fell into deep slumber. Sasuke on the other hand heard that the sobs coming from the room had finally stopped, so he decided to get out of the bathroom.
The first thing his eyes rested on when he got out of the bathroom was the sleeping figure of Sakura. The usually peaceful expression she had while she rested was now replaced by anxiety and restlessness. Though her face held anxiety and restlessness, her body defied all that by the peaceful position she had nested herself in. While Sasuke was observing her thoroughly, Sakura stirred and changed positions. Sasuke almost lost his cool, when he saw the light red mark on her pale white neck. 'S-she has a…hickey?' He felt a pang of jealousy, hit in his heart, but it left as quickly as it came. Deciding not to dwell too much on that, he slipped in his sleeping boxers and went to sleep as well.
-Time skip: Monday morning, 7:00-
Sakura felt awful. Her whole body ached as if she was an over by a truck, and her head was pounding as if she had a small orchestra inside it. Her mouth was dry and her vision was blurry. The alarm clock had already sounded, meaning that it was 7 o'clock and that she had school in half an hour, thus she had only half an hour to get ready. Before Sakura got up from bed she took her hand and pulled the skin up a little only to find that it didn't go back quickly (1). 'Great, I dehydrated. No wonder why my mouth is so dry, stupid alcohol.' Sakura thought to herself as she tried to stand up from the bed which ended with a loud groan. Her head was hurting too much and it kinda reminded her of Friday night.
Sakura lifted herself of the bed slowly. She sat at the edge of the bed and cupped her head in her palms. "Why oh why does my head have to hurt so freaking much?" Sakura groaned again.
"Because you're drinking too much" She jerked her head up, towards the source of the noise. Sakura felt mesmerized by the sight before her. Sasuke Uchiha was standing beside her in all his glory clad in black skinny jeans, gray converse shoes, black t-shirt and a gray hoodie. He had two pierces on the sides of his mouth and one on his eyebrow. He had a hood on his head and his hands were jammed deep in his pockets. Sakura had a hard time trying not to drool, but she reminded herself of what she had said the night before and she was determined to stay on her word.
"What exactly happened last night?" Sasuke smirked at this, which caused Sakura to furrow her brows.
"Get ready we have home room with Kakashi, and then a test with Kurenai." He turned on his heel and walked towards the door.
"That didn't answer my question" Sakura yelled. Sasuke stopped and glanced towards her over his shoulder.
"You got wasted." And with that said he left the room, leaving an utterly infuriated Sakura fuming in her room.
Sakura forced herself to get up. She took a quick shower, got dressed, packed her books and left towards the class room. Sakura wore a black t-shirt with pink writing 'I'm with stupid' with a pink arrow pointing to the side, black skinny jeans with a pink belt and pink high tops. She had her hair tied up in a messy bun. She dragged herself towards the class room, clutching her head all the time.
Sakura had her doubts about going to classes today. 'Why should I go to class when my head hurts like hell?! Ugh, maybe I got ran over by a truck last night, cause I sure feel like it.' Sakura thought to herself as she walked through the long corridors. First she went to her locker, to take something out and then she headed towards Kakashi's classroom.
She was already late and yet she didn't care. She had her I-pod in hand, with the headphones in her ears listening to Dark Nebula. Sakura opened the door and entered the classroom. All eyes were on her, when she nonchalantly marched into the room. Kakashi was saying something to her but she didn't understand what due to the head phones. The pink haired girl found her way towards Sasuke's desk and sat down. Sasuke's obsidian eyes were glaring at Sakura, but she was too deep into shaking her head in the beat of the song, to actually care what the Uchiha did. Sasuke took her headphones out of her ears.
"Hey what the fuck?!" Sakura exclaimed.
"Sakura, do you have something to share with the rest of the class? We would be happy to hear it" Kakashi said.
"No I do not, Kakashi-sensei." Sakura said sweetly and turned to glare at Sasuke."What the hell is the matter with you?" Sakura's whisper was hoarse and audible enough only for Sasuke to hear.
"You can't be listening to music while you're on class" Sasuke said as he took her I-pod and shoved it into his pocket. Sakura's eyes narrowed to slits. She huffed in annoyance.
"Sorry daddy, I won't do it again. I swear I'll be a good girl" the sarcasm was dripping from her words and it angered Sasuke that she became so irresponsible.
"Good girls don't drink and smoke Sakura." Sasuke stated.
"Well then I guess I'm a bad girl. Fine with me" Sakura started playing with her pencil, tapping it on her notebook. Sasuke's eyes held a red tint in them which meant that he was getting angry.
"How can you be fine with that? Do you even care about your reputation?"
"No" Sakura answered shortly. 'What the hell happened to her? She's so…different. What happened to her?' Sasuke thought.
"What about school?"
"Less"
"What the hell happened to you?" Sakura stopped tapping her pencil. Everything she did was to save his sorry ass, and he's here casually asking what happened to her? Sakura was infuriated.
"I know that you don't give a damn about what happened to me, so don't act all nosy all of a sudden because I know that even if I told you what happened to me you would just grunt and return to your normal icy self. I've lived through more these past few days than you have in your whole life, so leave me the fuck alone and go back to your girlfriend Karin." Sakura snapped and continued tapping her pencil furiously. Luckily for her Kakashi was so deeply engulfed in his book 'Icha, icha paradise' that he didn't even hear her.
"She's not my girlfriend." Sasuke stated.
"I don't give a fuck" Sakura growled and threw the pencil. The wooden writing utensil jabbed into Kakashi's book. Everyone gasped and Sasuke's eyes widened in shock.
"Who. Threw. This?" Kakashi said through clenched teeth. Sakura stood up.
"I did." Everyone turned towards her.
"Got to the principals office. Now. And later I would like to have a chat with you."
Sakura scoffed "Whatever". Sasuke then stood up too.
"Kakashi-sensei why don't you give Sakura a detention instead of sending her to Tsunade's? We have a test second period and she must take it." By the time Sasuke finished his sentence everyone started laughing hysterically. Sasuke was oblivious as to why everyone was laughing so he turned to seek the answer with Sakura. It was then when he realized that they were laughing because of Sakura's t-shirt that said 'I'm with stupid'. The arrow was pointing towards him, meaning that he was the stupid one. Sasuke gave Sakura the infamous Uchiha glare, but that didn't faze her in the least.
"I guess now people finally know who I'm with" Sakura said as she walked out of the class room, after muttering 'I'll see the principal'. She slammed the door behind her and left. Sasuke gave everyone the same Uchiha glare and soon everyone shut up. Kakashi continued blabbing something which Sasuke didn't bother to hear since he was too deep in thought. 'What the FUCK happened with her? Girls are so troublesome. Gah…now I sound like that lazy bum.'
The bell rung and everyone headed towards Kurenai's classroom. When all of the kids took their seats, the class was ready to begin. The door creaked open and Kurenai entered the classroom. After they all greeted her, she gave out the tests and sat at her desk.
Sasuke of course knew the answers, so he quickly finished the test. A malicious idea popped on his head. 'Why don't I screw up Gaara's grade? I could have a little fun, while on this test. ' Gaara had a piece of paper underneath his desk. Gaara wasn't trying to copy off of it, so Sasuke presumed that probably someone who had class there before them left it behind.
"Yo, Gaara" Sasuke said. Gaara slowly turned his head towards the Uchiha and gave him a hateful glare. "Look under the table." Gaara knew that the Uchiha was up to something but he looked anyway. "Kurenai sensei, Gaara is cheating." Sasuke said and caused everyone to turn their gaze away from their tests. Kurenai lifted her head up from all of the tests she had to grade.
"Is he now?" She said and walked towards Gaara.
"I was set up, sensei. Honest, I didn't cheat on the test." Gaara started defending himself. He always played so innocent and cute and every single one of the teacher's fell for the same thing. That's what irritated Sasuke; Gaara would play the cute, innocent boy and the teachers would overlook everything he did. That's why Sasuke thought of this little revenge. Kurenai took the piece of paper and looked at it. It had everything that was needed for the test, from A-Z, practically the whole text book.
"My, my Gaara. I didn't know you were this handy when it came to cheating. You've failed the test. Collect your things. Please leave the classroom and see the principal Tsunade, immediately." Kurenai said. Gaara not wanting to argue with the teacher stood up, sent a deadly glare at Sasuke and left towards the principal's office. He slammed the door behind him and stormed off through the halls. When he finally reached the principals office he knocked and entered.
"Gaara I heard what happened and I must say I'm very disappointed in you." Tsunade said.
"But Tsunade-sama I didn't…" Tsunade raised her hand to silence him.
"They all say that Gaara, they all say that. Now I should probably suspend you from school for three days, because you know the rules here are strict, however I'm considering the fact that this is the first time that anything of the sort has happened so I am going to fail you on English" Gaara's eyes widened in shock.
"What? You can't be serious. That stupid fucking Uchiha set me up"
Tsunade raised a long slender finger."Watch your language young man." She said with a stern voice.
"I'm sorry Tsunade-sama but I was wrongly accused."
"I'm sorry Gaara, but Kurenai-sense caught you on the act. Uchiha Sasuke had nothing to do with that." Gaara had a 'wtf' expression on his face. "You may go back to your classes now." Tsunade said and buried her head in the piles of documents that were placed neatly on her desk. Gaara sent a glare in her direction and left the office with a big groan.
"Sasuke, you will pay for that. I swear!" Gaara clenched his fists in anger. As he was walking out of the school murmuring profanities at Sasuke, he stumbled upon a certain pink haired teen.
"My, my look what we have here." Sakura said from the bench she was occupying. "What happened Gaara? Your mommy grounded you for drinking?" The pinkette said sarcastically. Gaara huffed in annoyance and sat on the bench next to her.
"I'd rather not talk about my problems." Gaara said as he smirked when a sinister plan came on his mind. Sakura raised a fine pink eyebrow at him, but dropped the subject nevertheless.
"What were you listening to?" Gaara asked.
"What?"
"What were you listening to when the Uchiha took your I-pod away?"
"Oh, Dark Nebula"
"Let me guess, Orbital elevator" Gaara said and smirked.
"Yeah, how did you know?"
"Well, everybody seems to listen to it now." Gaara said casually and stood up. Sakura observed him as he took out a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket. Gaara took one of the cigarettes and skillfully twirled it between his slender fingers. Then he put it in his mouth and lit it up. Sakura watched him with a childish glint in her eyes. Her mouth began watering and she felt the big need to light a cigarette too. (2)
Gaara noticed the look Sakura was giving him and the way she licked her plump lips. He smirked and turned towards Sakura handing her the cigarette pack.
"Want one?" A mischievous smirk played on his lips. Sakura hesitated, but then she smiled and gladly took a cigarette. Gaara lit it up for her and he watched as she inhaled.
"Oh god this feels good. I haven't had a cigarette since…I don't know when." Sakura said as she exhaled the large amount of smoke she had taken from the cigarette. Gaara laughed.
"What's so funny?" Sakura said through a smile.
"Well I never thought that you'd be the one who would start smoking from our class."
"Yeah, well I never thought that you'd be the one who would corrupt me." They started laughing together. After a while of laughing they stopped and just looked at each other. Gaara tucked a strand of pink hair behind her ear. A light blush appeared on Sakura's cheek but it left as quickly as it came. The two teens were totally oblivious that a pair of angry crimson eyes was watching them through the windows of "Konoha boarding school".
-Time skip: Sometime around 8 am-
The rest of the day went uneventful. Sakura avoided Sasuke, who wanted to talk to her about the thing that happened between her and Gaara. Gaara on the other hand was contemplating what to do next. The sinister plan he got earlier that day would come into action later that night. Gaara was currently following Sasuke, who was going towards the dorm after spending the afternoon with his brother at the Akatsuki Corp.
"Zaku, the Uchiha is coming back. Trap him in the alley and Hurry." Gaara closed his phone and waited until the plan started working. Within 5 minutes the alley was infiltrated with Gaara's gang. Sasuke was passing right in front of the alley but he had no intention in going in. Zaku saw that so he decided to make him go in. He threw a kunai towards him, but Sasuke dodged it. He was furious.
"Who the fuck threw this?" Sasuke growled.
"Why don't you come and see for your self?" Zaku answered. Sasuke entered the dark alley in search for the guy who threw a kunai towards him. Everything was black and Zaku didn't know where Sasuke was but then Sasuke opened his lidded eyes and revealed a pair of crimson eyes. Zaku and the others shuddered when they saw the menacing, red eyes glowing in the dark. They knew that Sasuke was a though guy and the only way to probably inflict him any damage was if they outnumbered him, which is exactly what they did. They were ten against Sasuke alone.
"Where the hell are you?"
"I'm here" Zaku said and punched Sasuke in the jaw. He fell on the ground from not expecting the hit.
"Come on give me your best shot" Sasuke stood up and Zaku landed another hit on his jaw. Sasuke started laughing.
"That's your best hit? You barely touched my cheek. I'd say you were caressing my cheek. Wanna see my best shot?" Sasuke landed a blow Zaku's jaw and a loud CRACK was heard. Zaku fell on the ground and yelped in pain. Everyone gasped when a light was turned on and they could see the scenery before them.
Sasuke was standing up straight with his hands in his pockets, looking totally unaffected, uninterested and unharmed, while Zaku was on the ground crying out in pain with his jaw looking awfully displaced. Sasuke on the other hand could see ten men with masks over their heads, half of them armed with bats and the other half with brass knuckles.
"Look what that idiot did! He broke Zaku's jaw with only one hit." One of them whispered to the others.
"Yeah, he did. And now he's gonna pay for that." Another one yelled and lunged himself forward. He swung the bat, but Sasuke caught the other end of it with ease and pushed it forward, casing the other end to hit the unlucky boy in his stomach.
At that point every single one of the masked guys lunged forward at Sasuke. He was putting up a good fight, but he couldn't last any longer seeing as they were 10 and he was alone. One of them hit him in the stomach and he fell down on the ground.
"Tie him up" a voice commanded and they all turned towards the source of the voice. Gaara was standing there in all his glory, smirking at the fallen Uchiha. The minions did as they were told. Soon enough they had Sasuke's hands tied up behind his back.
"Who the hell are you? What the fuck do you want?" Sasuke growled at the man, struggling to free himself from the binds. Gaara kicked him in the stomach.
"You better chose who you fucking mess with, because I have no qualms of killing you"
"Oooh, the little baby is going to cry because he's failing English? Pathetic." Gaara kicked him again and he spit out blood.
"You know what's pathetic? It's you. Lying here on the ground, with your hands tied behind your back spitting out blood. Now that's a pathetic sight. I thought that you Uchihas were so great and powerful. Where's your power now? You're a disgrace to your clan"
"You son of a bitch."
"Let me tell you an interesting fact. Last night I had fun with the cherry blossom" Sasuke's eyes widened. "Yeah we did. We were drinking and smoking, and what's best is that Sakura actually tried Marijuana. Yeah she wanted some Heroine too, but I think we should let her try that next Friday. Don't you think that's better?" Of course none of that was true but Sasuke didn't know that. He was angry and he started trashing around, trying to break free from the binds.
"You son of a bitch. I'm gonna kill you if you touch her. How could you do that to a girl? Don't you dare give her Heroine or else-"
"Or else what? Or else WHAT? What are you going to do? Kill me? I doubt that your clan wants to stain their name. Now since I have nothing more to tell you, I'm gonna let my boys have fun with you. Plus I have to meet with Sakura to give her the heroine she wanted. Better sooner than later right?" Gaara smirked evilly. Sasuke began trashing eve more, trying once again to free himself from the bindings.
"Leave Sakura alone. I swear I'll kill you if you give her heroine. I'LL KILL YOU! I SWEAR I WILL" Gaara had enough of it and kicked Sasuke so hard that the sound of a rib breaking could be heard through whole Konoha. Sasuke cried out in pain, as he felt the pain that shot through his entire body. He felt the momentary loss of breath and he started choking. When his breathing returned to normal, at least as normal as it could be, he started taking smaller breaths to reduce the pain.
The other guys didn't wait that long before they lunged themselves at Sasuke. They started hitting him with bats and brass knuckles, bruising and ripping apart along their way. After 15 minutes of indescribable beating, they freed Sasuke hands and left him lying in his own puddle of blood. He lost consciousness for a while. When he woke up, parts of his body felt numb, other parts ached though nothing serious, but particular parts like his ribs, collar bone, shoulder and cheek bones…well let's just say that he would have rather cut them off. Yup, that's how much it hurt. Slowly Sasuke got up and even though his whole body ached, he managed to drag himself towards the street. People looked at his bloodied face and his ripped clothes though everyone was terrified and nobody did anything to help him.
After having a hard time getting there, Sasuke arrived at Konoha boarding school. He went straight towards his dorm. He knocked on the door and waited for someone (Sakura) to open. He leaned on the door frame, gripping the dark wood. His breaths came out in uneven parts, and his heart was beating in an uneven rhythm. The searing pain continued to rush throughout his whole body and he could only last few minutes longer. His head jerked up when he heard the door creak open. His onyx eyes met with frightened emerald eyes.
"S-s-Sasuke what h-happened to you?" He looked at her with his bloodied face, his bangs covering his eyes and he was feebly staying upright. He began loosing breath and he felt the unconsciousness coming, but before he fell he had to ask her.
"W-why…Sa-ku-ra?" And with that he collapsed on the floor.
(1): When taken in bigger quantities the alcohol is known to cause dehydration to the system. The drunken person usually throws up until the system is alcohol-free, in other words until they start throwing up nothing but water. The drunken person has a great need of water which is due to the dehydration. The aforementioned act with the skin going back slowly is just a way to see if you're dehydrated, if you're not the skin should go back quickly. He-he just so you know what happens when you drink :D
(2): The cigarettes are known for causing an addiction. This is due to the nicotine they contain which is highly addictive. Like other addictive substances the nicotine is easy to get used to. The mind and the body quickly become used to the nicotine in cigarettes that a person has to smoke a cigarette just to feel normal. :)
Well, I just wanted to say HAPPY NEW YEAR! And I'm so sorry that I have been away for so long but school troubles you know? Well anyway I won't give you a sneak peak today, because I'm sad that you don't review. :'( :'( :'( :'(
