Chapter 9: Fatal Kiss
Sakura collapsed on her bed. Her arms and legs ached horribly from the training with Sasuke earlier. She was also red faced from what happened during the training. She couldn't say enough apologies.
Flashback
Sasuke and Sakura were both in the center of the Uchiha training field. It was filled with punching dummies, extra kunai, and senbon sticking out of the wooden posts. There was also a lot of dirt patches and burnt wood. Sakura guessed it was from the Katon jutsus all Uchihas are supposed to learn, as told by Sasuke, and from Kakashi's earth jutsus, which Sasuke told her that he was trained by him for a while. The rest of the field was surrounded by brush and trees.
"So, Sasuke-kun, what's the jutsu that we just have to get started on?" Sakura didn't want to use energy at the moment. It was 5:40 and she had a butt-load of homework to do.
"It's Chidori."
"NANI?!"
"Yea, told you we needed to work on it."
"…Hmph."
Sasuke smirked, "Anyway, you need to do this with precise chakra control, which you already have. Concentrate a slow, steady amount of your chakra in your palm. You're definitely not going to get it the first time so we don't want to waste your chakra on one blow so fast."
Sakura bent her knees slightly and held out her right arm. She looked as though she was playing American football. She closed her eyes and felt her chakra flow to her palm.
'This is too easy,' Inner Sakura stated, 'we are gonna get this done in a month max!'
'I don't know, if Sasuke knows that I'm good in chakra control, why would we start so soon in training since this is a chakra control based jutsu?'
She felt it reach her hand then she was lost. Where should she place the chakra?? Sakura wasn't sure where in her palm. She needed an exact point to get it. She couldn't decide where to place it, and felt her heart race and panic. Her palm felt extremely stiff and she felt it start to swell up. Then she started to feel as though her arm was about to explode.
'What the—Shit!' Sakura thought, 'Was too busy trying to figure out where to place the chakra that I forgot about the flow coming in!'
If Sakura didn't let go of the chakra soon, then the chakra points in her arm were going to explode! This has never happened to her before. Since when did her chakra become so unstable? Thinking quickly, Sakura led the flow to the tips of her fingers. She could hear the crackle of lightning and birds. Her arm was still getting stiff; Sakura felt she was about to lose control and indeed explode her arm off!
"S-Sasuke-KUN!" She needed help; she wanted the pain to go away.
Sakura couldn't see anything, but she felt Sasuke wrap something around her elbow. She felt it suction and stop the out-of-control chakra flow then she felt hands wrap around her forearm tightly but gently. Sakura screamed.
She was definitely out of control now. Sasuke was painfully pushing out the chakra through his tight grip. The crackling got louder because of the faster pace.
"BRACE YOURSELF!"
Sakura didn't know what he meant by that, but she gripped his pant leg tightly as he wrapped his other arm around her waist.
CRACK.
Both Sasuke and Sakura went flying and landed twenty feet away from where they were originally standing. When they landed, Sakura slammed onto her back and felt a heavy mass land on her.
"Sasu— MMPH!"
Her eyes widened. Her whole body froze. Time stopped.
She.
Sasuke.
…
…
…
KISSING?!
Sasuke's eyes widened, too.
'This couldn't get any worse. This couldn't get any worse. This couldn't get any worse…'
'SHANNARO! WE FINALLY KISSED SASU-KUN!!! CHYA!!!'
Inner Sakura was jumping around doing flips and what not.
'You're not much of a help.' Yet Sakura couldn't help but enjoy the heat and softness of Sasuke's lips.
"Ahem." Insert screech of record player.
'It just got worse.'
Standing right there was a man. The man Sakura saw in the picture. Tall, strong, and prideful.
Sasuke's father.
Where's a knife?
"Well, Sasuke, I thought you bringing over a friend was highly unlikely, but kissing her in the middle of training was something I never thought an Uchiha would do. Get up. Now."
Sasuke scrambled up in the most un-Uchiha-like manor and bowed his head in respect, "Gomenasai, Otou-sama."
Sakura was surprised of the formality Sasuke showed to his father.
Sasuke's father showed more displeasure, "Help the girl up, Sasuke."
'Oh, now I'm referred to as "the girl"? HE'S THE ONE THAT NEEDS A LESSON IN COMMON CURTOSY!' raged Inner Sakura.
Sasuke pulled her up swiftly. Sakura quickly turned back to the head of the Uchiha clan.
"Gomen, Uchiha-sama. Sasuke-kun didn't mean to do that! He was trying to teach me Chidori for a school project, and my chakra got out of control and exploded which made us… well, you know…" She quickly explained.
The father looked down. Sakura flinched under his harsh gaze. She glanced over at Sasuke and saw he had his head bowed and turned the other way.
"Fugaku! It was just an accident!" A hustling Mikoto was coming over. Relief washed over Sakura's and Sasuke's faces.
"Mikoto, I—"
Fugaku's wife gave a very stern look. He stared back. Sakura thought that they were speaking through each other's eyes.
After a minute of eye-contact, Fugaku sighed, "Sasuke, a few more tries then we must send your friend home. It's already very late, and I must discuss something with you"
Another look was given to Sasuke, the secret language.
Fugaku faced Sakura again, "And to formally introduce myself, I'm Uchiha Fugaku, Sasuke's father."
Sakura quickly bowed, "I'm Sakura, Uchiha-sama."
"Hn," She looked back up to see Sasuke's father walking away. An embarrassed chuckle was heard.
"Gomen, gomen, Sakura-chan! Sasuke-chan's father is not the social type," Mikoto's cheeks were flushed.
"Ne, it's alright, Mikoto. Anti-social people are actually the most interesting people."
The mother giggled, "So, Sakura-chan, was that… your first kiss?"
Sakura blushed.
"Kaa-san!" Sasuke's face slightly turned pink.
"Oh, gomen, Sasuke-chan! Young love is just so adorable! You are going to ask her on a date soon, right?"
Sakura was in the background choking on her own spit. Poor Sasuke was mentally hitting himself with a wooden board.
End of Flashback
The cherry blossom sighed. It was indeed a strange day.
'I wonder why I got so out of control so easily during that jutsu.'
'I think it was a bad day. After all, you were pretty excited after seeing Dei-kun and Sas-kun, along with meeting Ita-sempai and Mikoto. Not to mention the almost kiss in Sasuke-kun's room!'
'That's true, I probably underestimated the jutsu as well.'
'Speaking of kissing, DIDN'T YOU JUST LOVE THAT KISS WITH SASU-KUUUUNNNN! I'm gonna make sure you have dreams about that WONDERFUL kiss tonight!!!! SQUEE!'
Sakura shook her head of any in appropriate thoughts.
"Sasuke-kun is not a piece of meat. I should be honored that he'd want to be called by a suffix by me," She told herself.
Her fingers touched her lips gently.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"That was disgraceful behavior, Sasuke, absolutely dishonorable."
"I know, Otou-sama."
BANG.
Papers go flying off the desk.
"You do NOT know, Sasuke. I saw every bit of it Sasuke; you should be glad that that slow, stupid—"
"SAKURA-CHAN IS NOT STUPID!" Sasuke screamed, he would not stand for his friend to be insulted by anyone.
"DO NOT INTERUPT ME!" Sasuke quickly sat back in the chair, shameful.
Fugaku continued, "You should be glad she didn't notice that that kiss was on PURPOSE!" Sasuke squeezed his fists.
Flashback
Sasuke slammed into Sakura once they hit the ground. He was the first to open his eyes, to see a sight that left him speechless.
She looked so beautiful. Her hair was fanned around her heart-shaped face.
Her eyes were cutely squeezed shut.
Her nose wrinkled.
Her lips kissable.
So very kissable.
The next thing Sasuke knew was the feeling of Sakura's luscious lips being pressed on by his cold ones. For a split second, he was on cloud nine. This feeling. Amazing.
But reality set in and Sasuke's eyes were wide open, knowing that he was seen.
End of Flashback
"Why do you do this? Why do you do this to your family? To ME?!" Fugaku slammed his fist on the fine cherry oak desk.
Sasuke snapped.
"Why does this matter so much?! IT WAS ONLY A KISS—"
"It matters because when you turn eighteen, you are to be a part of an arranged marriage."
He froze.
"…What?" Sasuke's voice cracked.
He watched his father take a deep breath, "You are to be wed to Tsunabi Kira."
Outside those office doors, stood a shocked Mikoto choking on tears and an all-knowing Itachi, shaking his head in sorrow for Sasuke.
Because he knew…
Sasuke had fallen in love.
