...
It had been almost 2 weeks after the whole thing went down at the club.
Sakura hadn't heard a peep from Sasuke, no calls, emails, visits, nothing. It was pure silence in her apartment and she couldn't help but think back to when she didn't know Sasuke and how peaceful things had been for her. No drama. Just how she liked it.
In that week of pure bliss she had gotten started on the Art project their had teacher had left them, it was supposed to be a done with two people, she had been paired but with Sasuke or more like he had told the teacher that he wasn't going to do the project with anyone other than her. But given how they weren't talking to each other, Sakura decided to get started and had drawn up sketches on her sketchbook, looking up images on the internet and on magazines. To come up with a drawing that would represent both Sasuke's personality and hers together.
That was easier said then done.
It was the beginning of the 2nd week since either party had talked to each other when she saw Itachi running through the front doors of the restaurant she worked in.
...
That night just about two weeks ago had destroyed Sasuke more so than anything Itachi had ever seen. After he had drank the vodka, Sasuke had thrown up everything in his stomach until he was just dry heaving. Then he had gone down to the bar again to grab another drink, to throw that up an hour later. It was just a huge fucking mess. After managing to take him back home, the young Uchiha had opened up the bag of colorful pills and swallowed about five of them, then half out of him mind he had managed to light up a cig and had sat on one of the couches he had in his room.
This routine had gone on for days, he woke up drank the pills, smoked two packs of cigs, and drank whatever he could find in his mini bar.
Itach had burst into tears when he had found this baby brother on his bed with dark circles under his eyes, looking up at the ceiling in a daze. It was like he was awake but not really. When the effects of whatever he had taken wore off Itach had pleaded with Sasuke to stop with the drugs, he had tried to take away the bags and the bottles but failed. In the end both brothers had cuts on their face, Itachi had a busted lip and Sasuke had a red angry cheek with a cut on it.
Their group of friends, Naruto, Kakashi, Neji, Shikamaru, Sai, Kiba, along with Hinata, and Ino Yamanaka had paid a visit and each had tried to make him stop, only to get yelled at.
No amount of words, no amount of pleading, nothing had reached the man and Itachi didn't know what to do any more. He himself was losing it and the need to have a drink was more than he could bare. Stress was getting to him and had to thank Neji for talking some sense to him, if he couldn't help himself how on earth would he be able to help his brother?
It was on Monday that broke Itachi upon entering his brother's room.
Sasuke had crashed on the floor and when he had run to his side, there in his brother's hand was a needle with the remains of a light yellow-ish liquid inside. His brother had injected himself with god knows what and was now unconscious.
"Sasuke you stupid asshole, what the fuck did you do?!" Itachi had screamed to his brother, hearing the shouts everyone one had raced up the stairs to see what had happened and were greeted with an unforgettable sight of Itachi crying holding his brother tightly against his chest.
Kakashi had quickly done a once over the fallen boy and then looked at the yellow-ish liquid shaking in fear of what could it could be he had barked at Shikamaru to call a doctor. Everyone had helped moved Sasuke body to his bed, with shikamaru barking at the doctor to get his ass over right before he sued him.
The doctor had arrived no more than 15 minutes after getting his orders and what his patient had. He had checked Sasuke and had managed to clean out sasuke's system by pumping everything out, to which Sasuke had then fallen right back to sleep, the doctor had turned to tell them that his body had shut down due to the treatment. The doctor had also told them that he would wake up in an hour with a headache and would most likely be vomiting again, he advised them to keep him away from anything that may have any alcohol and that some soup would help him along with loads of water. The doctor had then bid them goodbye and left the mansion.
There had been a deathly silence in the whole house with Itachi sitting on sasuke bed with his hands on his head.
Naruto had by then sat on the floor with his back against the wall and his hair covering his eyes, Kiba and Sai had done the same. Kakashi had shut his eyes so tightly he saw white not baring to look at the sight in front of him, Shikamaru was standing with a hand covering his face, while Neji stared at sasuke.
Later that day when Sasuke had woken up and was fed some can soup that Kakashi nearly forced down his throat, Itachi had said that someone would be staying with his brother every night to watch him. This earned him protest by sasuke himself but Itachi had ignored him.
...
It was the next day that had made Itachi search for Sakura.
Sasuke had screamed at all of them to give him back his pills and to bring him a bottle of vodka and when no one did, he began breaking everything he could find. Naruto had gone head to head with him to end up with a busted lip, Kakashi and Neji had tried to calm him down but nothing worked, so Shikamaru decided to lock him in his room. All the men excluding Itachi had helped push him back and managed to lock him in, Itachi could only watch as his brother spiraled out of control and he had burst into tears again, Ino and Hinata on his side trying to comfort him.
The door pounded with him screaming at the top of his lungs to let him out, Naruto had pleaded with him to calm down, that it was for his own good.
"TEME! calm down, please"
"GET ME THE FUCK OUTTA HERE ASSHOLE!" the door vibrated as sasuke hit the door from the inside.
"Sasuke this is for your own good man! Your going insane, calm down!"
It suddenly went very quiet when sasuke spoke again, "And you think locking me away is doing me a favor? After everything I went through for you?" They were all hit with pain and guilt in their stomach, Hinata falling to the floor in tears.
After taking a deep breath Naruto spoke again, "Sasuke, You know that we are forever in your debt but we're trying to keep you from hurting yourself, please understand that!"
Inside Sasuke had walked away from the door and had found an empty bottle that he threw at his door shattering it to tiny pieces before crashing into his bed, as he closed his eyes his mind was yet again filled with pink and green flashes. Words echoed around,
Where is she? How was she? Did her wounds get better? Has she eaten anything?
But then they took a more depressing turn,
Why hasn't she called? Does she hate me now? Is she angry at me?
His mind answered back at him that she didn't need him, that she never liked him in the first place.
He tossed and turned in his bed, pushing his face into the pillows whispering, "shut up shut up shut up" His mind laughed and whispered he was pathetic, a useless piece of trash that Sakura would never look at, that if anything she must pity him. Sasuke whimpered into the pillows, his chest burning and he could hardly breathe. He felt hands squeezing his heart and chest, it hurt so bad. His dark mind flashed an image of Sakura turning around and walking away from him.
"No no don't leave" he whispered into the darkness of his room.
The disappointed look she had given him went by in his mind again before she had turned to walk away.
"No come back...Sakura!" he squeezed his eyes tight and fisted the sheets around him.
...
Downstairs in the living room, everyone was sitting around not knowing what to do or how to handle the situation. Until Itachi had stood up and ran out the door, yelling that he was going to be back soon. He jumped into his red and black viper and sped to Sakura's apartment.
He knew she was part of why Sasuke was like this. Perhaps if he brought her to sasuke she could try to help him, though given what had happened he didn't know if she was willing to even speak to sasuke again. Arriving at the apartment he sprinted to the elevators when one of the older women told him that Sakura wasn't back from work. People at the building had come to know the Uchiha brothers and thankfully none of them were crazy fans.
"She's not back?" he asked in a hurry.
The women nodded, "She gets off late today, poor dear, having to work so much so young."
He was running out of time and it was only a matter of minutes before his brother started up another tantrum.
"Do you know where I can find her? it's really urgent." he said.
The lady frowned, "She works at a restaurant called Leaf." Itachi had nodded in thanks before bolting out again. It was easy to say that Itachi had broken all the traffic rules in getting to the restaurant. He would deal with that later. After driving like a mad man he had reached the place and parked right in front of the restaurant with the tires screeching as he braked, he sprinted out.
The air was nice, it had nice dimmed lights giving the place a nice relaxing area, the walls were a nice brown wood color. The place was empty with just 2 people in the corner having a quiet lunch. Itachi had looked around the place hoping to spot some pink and thank god he did.
Sitting on the stool looking at her laptop with notes and sketches around the table was Sakura looking very at easy. He really hated to bother her but his brother needed help and she looked like the type of person to give tough love.
Sakura had gotten off work a few minutes early since there wasn't much work so she had changed clothes in the bath room and decided to look through her notes and pictures again for the art project. She was dressed in black waist-high shorts that stuck to her like second skin with a white tucked in shirt, a tiny jacket that had black and white patterns on the sleeves that stopped just below her chest. With black ankle boots, a bracelet on her left wrist, a necklace of a butterfly, a pair of small green leafs for earrings with her hair was tied into a ponytail in front of her shoulder.
Itachi took quick steps towards her and as gently as he could in his state, called out to her, "Sakura-san!"
Looking up from her laptop she saw Itachi standing infront of her looking stressed out, "Itachi-san hello" she said, "What brings you here?"
Itachi ran a hand through his hair, "Sakura-san forgive me but I need you to come with me right this second." Itachi rubbed his forehead as sakura looked at him.
"Is it important?" He nodded and sensing his distress she nodded and began putting all her papers in her notebook and closed her computer, Itachi took her bags and quickly left the restaurant. There was no time to lose. As they drove back to the mansion, Itachi had no idea how to explain the situation with sasuke or how to explain that he was at the end of his sanity. Sakura stayed quiet throughout the ride, she wanted to ask what was wrong but Itachi look deep in thought so she decided to wait until he said something.
But he never did and soon she saw the huge gates to the Uchiha mansion and while normally she would just nod, she couldn't help but be awe struck at how big it was. It had looked big on TV but it was just ridiculous in person. Who lived here? The gods? Zesu?
Itachi parked the car right in front of the mansion and got out to open Sakura's door because he was gentlemen, dammit. He gently took her wrist and pulled her inside.
"Itachi-san, whats going on? Why am I here?" she asked looking around but she had no time to stop and stare for Itachi was dragging her in to the Living room, where she saw the men she had met back at the club with two more girls.
"Itachi-san, Whats going on here?" At her voice everyone looked up to see the pink haired beauty walk in with Itachi.
"Sakura!" Naruto looked shocked, "what are you doing here?"
Sakura pointed at Itachi, "I still don't know." She said shaking her head.
Kakashi looked at Itachi for answers, "Whats going on Itachi?"
While everyone waited for an answer, Itachi turned to sakura, "Sakura-san, I brought you here because I don't know who else to turn to. He's out of control and he wont listen to me or anyone else here, I don't know what to do anymore and I'm..." his voice cracked while sakura frown and gently touched his shoulder,
"Itachi-san Whose going out of control?" she asked and Itachi was going to answer when Kakashi interrupted.
"Itachi What are you thinking bringing her here, It's not the best thing right now with how he is!"
Itachi looked at Kakashi and hissed out, "She's the only one he response to. I've seen it myself." Sakura had never seen Itachi hiss at anyone so if he had the situation really was bad.
Ino stepped beside Kakashi and glared, "Are you telling me that this... girl, Can help him? Are you joking right now?" Her tone of voice made Sakura narrow her eyes at the blond. Naruto having caught the movement moved to apologize for the blond girl, "Ino you idiot shut it, No one wants to hear you bitching right now." He turned to face Sakura, "I'm sorry about that, it's just that things are... "
Sakura nodded in understanding, "Itachi-san, I have very little patience so if you could please tell me what im doing here..."
Itachi was going to explain when shouting was heard from the second floor, "ASSHOLES LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT!" Sakura looked up at the ceiling where the noise was coming from and turned to look at Itachi, who looked like defeated. She turned to naruto for an explanation.
"Sakura, Sasuke he..." he ran a hand down his hair before going on, "he's been drink pills and nearly overdosed on some shit we found in his room. Through a needle. He's lost it sakura." he whispered.
Sakura stood there shocked. Pills? He drank pills? It couldn't be right...
"Drugs..." she whispered to herself and Naruto nodded.
"We,... I was hoping that maybe you could talk to him and make him stop." came Itachi's quiet voice from the couch he was sitting on.
"Are you insane? You want to sent her in there?!" came Kakashi's pissed off voice.
From there an argument was formed going back and forth whether they were really going to sent her to face Sasuke. But while they fought, inside sakura there was a volcano exploding.
That stupid idiot was taking drugs?! And then nearly overdose?! HE'S AN IMBECILE.
It was like a match had been thrown into a lake of gasoline and she was ready to unleash her fury on the dumbass.
"Naruto, can you take me to his room, I'd like to speak with him." She said to Naruto looking up at the ceiling, his ass better be ready for the scolding of a life time.
"Sakura I don't think it would be a good idea if you go in there right now, he's going through withdrawal. He's pretty violent and screaming shit."
Sakura glanced at him and what he saw scared and froze his insides. Her green eyes were forest dark and cold. Her aura had changed and she looked ready to skin anyone alive right now. Gulping he said no more and nodded leading her up the stairs. The others had seen the pair and began protest but they weren't heard, Itachi decided to go up with them incase anything happened and the others followed behind.
Ino was glaring at the girl with Hinata beside her looking very worried.
After finally going up the stairs of no return and turning to the hallway that lead to Sasuke's room, They stood infront of his door in pure silence. Kakashi tried again to stop her.
"Haruno-san this is danger_"
She raised her hand to stop him, "Enough." her voice was firm and Kakashi had to back down. "Is the door locked?" she asked.
Itachi took out a key and handed it to her, "I had to keep him locked in his room... I had no chose." He said quietly. Sakura looked at the beaten man beside her and she couldn't believe sasuke would something like this to his brother.
"I need a few things." she said, "You said he nearly overdosed? Get some things to make chicken soup, he must be tired from the scream and fighting. A bowl of water and a towel. And candy, chocolate if you can."
"Chocolate?" asked Naruto looking worried.
Sakura nodded, "Its going to help give him that sugar boost he needs, while he might not feel that he is tired, he's mostly pushing his body to its limits and then he's going to collapse." At the back of the group a small 'tch' was heard coming from Ino.
Sakura unlocked the door and went inside with the others following behind except Sai who went to tell the maids to get the things needed to make the chicken soup.
The room was a mess, everything was broken and in pieces, the floor was covered in bottles, shards of broken the bottles, empty packs of cigarette, and buds of cigs everywhere as well. Clothes were thrown carelessly all over the place, the windows had black curtains preventing the sun from coming through. It was dark, dirty and messy, depressing as hell, and Sakura had to wonder how the hell could he possibly sleep here.
She saw him laying on the bed on his stomach.
She took a step closer to him and spoke, "This place is a fucking mess Uchiha, you should be ashamed." Her voice cold.
Sasuke had heard the door being open and heard the crunching of the glasses as they stepped on them, he was going to surprise them in order to leave his room. That was the plan until he heard her voice, his body tensed, his mind went blank. He couldn't move an inch. It was lie, she wasnt here. How could she be here?
"So you're so ashamed you can't even face me? Real manly of you." She taunted.
No, no no no no no no no no! Fucking NO! she shouldnt be here! Not now, not when she could see the mess he really was. This was a nightmare. A really bad nightmare.
He heard her heels click on the floor and felt her as she came closer to his bed.
"Get up Sasuke, we need to have a chat."
He wasn't going to believe that it was her until he saw her so he rose from where he was until he was sitting on his knees and stared at his headboard before slowly turning his head. She looked so very pretty. Her skin was as pale as he remembered, her pink hair was the same, looking as shiny as ever. His dark side rumbled with pleasure at her attention, her eyes locked on him only. He could see it in her eyes, she wasn't about to leave without answers. He bit his lip when he felt pleasure and pride hit him in waves, she was beautiful, and her legs looked so delicious and perfect in her black heels.
He bit his lip harder and his cheek were stained a light pink. Bloody Hell.
"I heard you were misbehaving and I was dragged over here. Tell me, what the fuck are you thinking?" she demanded.
He closed his eyes at the sound of her voice, so long that he hadn't heard it that it sounded so sweet even when she wasn't trying to sound sweet. He opened them again to her standing in front of him, staring right into his eyes. She needed to look away.
Please look away.
He whispered out, "Stop staring at me." and shrinked back.
Sakura rose an eyebrow and crossed her arms, she would unleash her hell on him soon enough.
"I can stare all I want. Now answer my question dumbass, What the fuck are you doing? and don't play dumb with me."
He took a quick glance at the people standing by the door and then back at her, staying quiet. Sakura took a deep breath, "You guys can leave I want to talk with him alone."
Kakashi was going to protest when Naruto pulled him away and soon the two of them were the only ones inside. Good, now she could yell at him, so she did.
"Their gone, now talk asshole. Why the fuck are you taking pills for? Are you trying to kill yourself!" She yelled at him. Sasuke looked down at his sheets. She walked up to him and grabbed the front of his shirt, making his eyes go wide and look into her eyes, while shaking him back and forth, "Answer me! What happened to you!?" She was furious.
He couldn't answer her. He had no answer for her.
How could he explain that her being angry at him made him insane? That their fight had shaken him down to his core? That he had feared her leaving him and never returning? That he drinked to forget her disappointment in him?
"You worried everyone and almost overdosed. Have you no consideration for your poor brother?! HUH PUNK?!" she said. Sakura pushed him away from her but sasuke quickly reached out to grab her arm. He hugged it like some toy.
"Let go you dumbass! I'm angry at you, so very pissed off that I feel like I'm going to choke on it!" He whimpered, he had never heard her speak to him in such a way, it hurt him. More so than he thought it would.
"Tell me something dammit don't just sit there! Where is that violence that Naruto was talking about, the anger that made you break everything in this room!" she gestured to the room.
Sakura was lost her cool. She felt like choking him and punching him until he saw reason, that the pills and drinks weren't going to make anything better for him. She was angry, pissed off, and so very worried about him. To think that he could have almost died from an overdose, Did he not care about what all of his friends would feel? Not being able to get her cool back at the moment she smacked his head.
"Imbecile! How could you want to throw everything you have away?!" she smacked him again but he never let her arm go and kept his glaze down.
"Answer me!" she ordered.
Sasuke let her hit him, he would let her do anything she wanted to him. He didn't care.
Quietly though he said, "I'm sorry... " Sakura tried to take her arm back but his wasn't having it and quickly reacted, "NO! Don't leave!" he panicked.
She narrowed her eyes at him, "Let go of me, It's obvious that you don't want to talk to me so I'm leaving!"
Sasuke felt as if someone had stabbed in the chest. She couldn't leave, not when she was finally here, not when she came to see him. His mind told him to keep her close, that she was his saving grace.
"I.. I don't know what to say to you Sakura, bbbut don't leave!" he looked up at her with pleading eyes.
"You can tell me what drove you into stabbing yourself with a fricking needle. Don't you know that you could have died!" Her cheeks were red from anger and Sasuke thought she looked very pretty like that.
Talking though seemed like the only way she was staying, and he was thinking about how to word what he wanted to say but when he opened his mouth, everything just came out, "I wanted to sleep, there's just so many things running in my mind, It's too much for me, Sakura. I don't know how to handle them all!" His body started to shake, "I can't deal with things normally, I drink until I pass out and I have been doing it for so long. Same thing with the pills. They're my fix, It's what keeps me from flipping out more than I usually do. But that fight we had," clenched his eyes tight, "It was my breaking point. You were so angry at me and you were right to be, but I just thought that some thing had happened to you and I freaked. I never meant to..." he stopped when he felt her suddenly hug him.
Sakura now saw his reason for doing what he did, it may not have been the right thing to so but it was the only way he knew how to deal with it. Her eyes had soften and watery when she saw how vulnerable he looked. Sakura had climbed into the bed and hugged him around the waist and spoke softly by his ear, "Idiot. That's no reason to get like this but... I guess given how you've been using them for awhile it was natural, you shouldn't have freaked at the club, you think I can't handle myself?"
Getting over his shock he wrapped his arms her tightly, burying his face into her neck.
"You had gotten attack by the fangirls and I still haven't gotten over at how banged up you were and..."
"They just cut me off guard that's all. I can take care of myself Sasuke, I have for years." She gently ran her hands down his back to ease his tension and it worked. His shoulders relaxed.
"I'm not leaving if that's what worrying you. Remember you picked me to be your friend?" she said gently.
She sat on her knees between his leg with his knees upward, trying to calm him and sooth his worries. He bit his lip and held her closer as a tear left him. Sakura held him closer to her and hummed while running a hand through his hair. His frame shook as he let everything out, all the tears he had held back since he was a child. He let them go. He had too, it was time to let shit go and start anew.
It was a long wait and the men outside were getting worried about Sakura but there had been not sound of things breaking or sasuke going insane again so they let them be. But Itachi still paced the hallway up and down.
He composed himself and when sakura felt that he could talk again she spoke softly yet firm, "I don't want you to ever to this to your brother again, you hear?" she pulled back to look at his face and held his chin.
"He doesn't deserve something like this." Sasuke with his wet lashes looked at her, "I owe him nothing."
Sakura let out a sigh, "If you wont take care of yourself for him, then for who?"
Sasuke, with tear stains on his cheek and wet lashes, took hold of her chin with one hand and with the other brought her closer to him, "For You."
Sakura's eyes snapped to his own in surprise, "What. "
"I'd be more careful for you."
Sakura couldn't really responses but managed to squeak out, "Why?" very quietly.
"I don't know. Because you're the first person who doesn't want anything from me." He let her chin go and wrapped it around her waist, bumping his forehead with her own, "Because your unique-ness and crazy pink hair caught my attention the moment I saw you. These days that I haven't seen you made everything worse for me. My mind kept going back to you. Its insane and I wanted it to stop but I couldn't, no matter how hard I tried to." Sakura was speechless.
How could she answer to this? Did she feel the same way?
"Sasuke... I..."
Sasuke was just pleased that he had her in his arms and he never wanted to let go. He didn't know if it was an obession, or if it was love, but whatever it was it made him lose his mind when he was with her. She was really tiny compared to his bigger frame, yet she had fire inside her.
"I'm not sure if...?" Sasuke cut her off.
"You don't have to answer now. I know that I'm a mess right now. I'm not the greatest person, I know."
Sakura frowned slightly and thought real hard. She wanted to help Sasuke in anyway she could and she hadn't let herself fall for him knowing that he had many women that were million of times better than she was. That there were real beauty's out there, models, actress, singers. She had blocked any type of romantic feelings for him and now here he was telling her that he would take care of himself for her, it's the same thing as saying he would change for her. To try and be better. She couldn't help but laugh quietly.
"What's so funny?" he asked squeezing her waist for her attention.
"Out of all the beautiful women you could have at the snap of your fingers, You want a girl with pink freak-ish hair trying to be an Artist?" She leaned back to have a good look at him.
Sasuke had glared lightly, "who the hell said you are a freak?" she shook her head, "I've been called many things because of my hair."
He frowned, "Your hair is unique, I don't want to hear you saying its ugly or some shit like that, Got it?" She nodded at him.
"And all those girls you talk about, they're after my money and looks. So yea, I want the petal pink artist."
Sakura looked down as she asked, "Do you think we could work? You live and have lived very differently from me"
Sasuke let a tiny smirk grace his face, "I would make us work." He lightly touched her cheek, his eyes turning darker, "If you gave me a chance." he finished quietly.
She needed time to think about this so she gave him a hug before pulling away and getting off the bed, Sasuke panicked and reached over to grabbed her hand, "Wait where are you going?!"
"Your body is weak right now so you need rest, I'm going down to your kitchen to make you some soup. I'll be right back."
The weight he felt in his chest went away but he still didn't want to be apart from her, "Wait I want to go with you." He swung over his legs to get up when his knees failed him and was going to crash on the floor when Sakura managed to grab him. They were chest to chest with Sasuke's weight on her and there was an awkward silence on both ends, since their faces were mere inches away. Sasuke could hear his heart-beat in his ears. Sakura gently sat him down on the bed and looked away with a blush on her cheeks.
"Your not in the best condition to be walking around, I'll be back soon so just_" She stopped when she saw him getting back up.
"Woman when I say I'm going with you, I mean it. Now help me to the kitchen." His grin made her stop and just stare at him. There was a shift in the air now. Now that she knew he had feelings for her, it was going to be hard to ignore him. His grin had always made her smile but now it made her feel a little weird, her stomach now felt funny. She needed to leave, so she walked to his side and helped him to walk to the door.
When the door to Sasuke's door opened everyone jumped up from where they were sitting on the floor. What they saw on the other hand left them almost speechless. Tiny Sakura was helping the giant Sasuke to walk. Itachi was going to help his brother but sakura had shook her head at him.
"Haruno-san?" he said slightly frowning in concern.
"It's ok Itachi-san, umm could you lead me to the kitchen please, I would like to start on the soup." Itachi had nodded and kept glancing back behind him at the two, the others had noticed the shift in the air. Sasuke was ignoring them for now but it was clear to everyone not to get near them at the moment. They were still in dangerous grounds and needed to keep their distance. When they got the kitchen, Sai was talking the maids and was giving out orders, and when he turned to stop and stared. Sakura being the polite girl she was raised to be gave him a small bow, to which Sasuke let a small growl at.
Sure he wasn't feeling great but that didn't mean he was going to let things that bothered him just go by.
"Umm, the maids are going to make the soup Haruno-san, if you like you can wait in the_"
He was cut off by Sasuke who turned to Sakura, "If you're not making it, I'm not eatting." With the way he spoke you'd never think he was feeling weak.
"I told you I was making, didn't I? Now shut it, I'm still pissed." Sasuke nodded and didn't say anything after wards. True Sakura was still feeling pissed not as much as when she first arrived but it was still there like a small burning candle, she was just toning it down since Sasuke needed to be taken care of.
"Forgive me Sai-san but I will be making it if you don't mind_"
"Its my house, he has no say in it." cut off Sasuke again.
Sakura pinched his side to which he winced at, "I believe I said to shut it"
Sai was looking back and forth between them and then smiled at Sakura, "No problems Haruno-san, he is right anyways."
Sakura helped Sasuke to sit on one of the stools before beginning to start on chopping the veggies. Sasuke had laid his head down on the table, just watching her move about with the other men standing there like idiots not knowing what to do. The crazy guy that had been screaming at the top of his lungs was gone replaced with this mellow guy watching the girl cook. They were all curious about what had happened but none dared to ask.
"So what the hell happened?"
Okay so maybe the men were all scared to ask but Ino was not. Could this woman not read the tension in the air?
Sasuke didn't even glance at her much less talked to her and Ino wasn't talking to sakura when she asked the question so she just kept on chopping the veggies.
"Hello! I asked a question!"
"Shut up Ino." Came sasuke's firm voice.
Ino stomped her foot, "I will not be quiet, I want to know what happened!"
Sakura was jamming the veggies into the boiling water and then slightly jumped when she heard something slam on the table. She turned to see that it was the blond girl who had slammed her hand on the table and was glaring at sasuke. She rose a brow but didn't say thing. She didn't know these people and she wasn't about to stick her nose where it didnt really belong.
"Ino do that again and the guards will be showing you the way out." Sasuke didn't even blink at the noise but was annoyed at how sakura had jumped at it.
"Oh so this is the thanks I get for being here for two days straight?! Really?!"
"I didn't ask you to come, as a matter of fact all of you people are annoying me, so leave."
Sakura had turned around and lightly hit him on the head with one of the spoons, "Don't be so mean, they were just worried about you." She looked towards Itachi for a moment, "Where can I find the tomatoes?"
He was going to answer when sasuke said, "In the fridge bottom right." She nodded in thanks.
Sakura took out the tomatoes and chopped a bunch when she asked if they had managed to buy the chocolate, "Yes there you go Haruno-san." Sai handed her a bag that had at least 7 bars of the sweet treat when sasuke has asked why she needed the candy, "It's for you. Your body needs some sweet." She opened up a bar and snapped it in half taking one for herself and took a big bite out of it, leaving a smile mark on the bar. Sasuke with his habit of eating whatever it was that she had taken a bit of, had taken her half and ate it.
"..."
"Hn?"
"That was my half."
"Hn."
Her eye twitched, she had wanted to come to the kitchen in order to breathe and not think so much about what had happened upstairs but with him here, it was nearly impossible. She then felt something poke her lip and saw it was a piece of the candy sasuke was feeding her.
He was biting his lip, "You should have some." She inwardly giggled and took the piece going back to stir the pot of soup. Sasuke watched her as he nibbled on the candy he has taken from her. Inwardly though his inner chibi was blushing with rainbows and a nice breeze going around. Sunshine and all that other shit.
Behind him there were 5 people who were staring unbelieving of the change and softness they were seeing in the man, 1 understanding stare, 1 confused stare, and 1 that burned with jealousy.

Far away from the mansion, in a hotel from where two men dressed in black suites.
"My dear friend, Did you find out where she lives?"
"Yes sir, I did. Quite easy really. She is much too kind-hearted."
"Excellent."

Le Preview:
"What are you doing?"
"Cleaning this shit up?"
She picked up a shirt and stared at it, "This is going in the trash"
He opened his mouth to say something, "No wait, don't throw that out!"
"Wait wait! no no!"
Everything was going in the trash as far as she was concerned.
