Stopping by a beautiful street, they've parked through the drive thru and into Sasuke's luxurious house. Even Kaori was amazed by the estates of the Uchiha family. She never has seen anywhere more beautiful than this. Widening her eyes at every view, even the garage looks good! Whipping her head at the Uchiha in the driver seat, she asked. "Why are we doing this exactly?"

Directing his cold eyes straight to her brown ones, he simply parked his humming machine and sighed once the garage door began to close on its own. He gave another calm stare at her. "Is it okay for you to company me?" She blinked twice, feeling her heart pumping in a speed limit as she almost choked in her saliva.

"Um y-yes but...," she paused, catching his beautiful eyes are making eye contact with her again, mistakenly made her mesmerized in his pools. Sasuke closed his eyes, clicking his belt to release him from his chair. "You're not doing anything after, are you? Besides, it's a Friday."

Removing her eyes else where, she shook her head as the Raven gotten out of the car. Sighing deeply, she reached her bag from the backseat, feeling a large wind brushed pass her from her right. Sasuke obliged to open the door for her.

A sincere smirk appeared on his lips, almost making her head over heels for. Luckily, she catches herself before anything starts to break.

For being quite the gentleman, the casual Raven offered many things to his visitor. Drinks, food, bathroom, television, putting away her messenger bag else where; Kaori almost felt like a princess. She kindly refuses all of those offers and made herself comfortable around the house.

Sasuke laid his hawk eyes on her, watching her every move and walking towards many objects and views. He wouldn't expect her to be snooping around in the bookshelves. Smirking at this, he made his way right next to her. "I like this one the best." Staggered, Kaori faced him and then back at the book. She watches him reaching for the crimson book cover and tucks a finger through a random page.

Twitching a smile, the brunette moved on. Again, Sasuke gave a puzzled expression, putting away his book and followed the guest. By this action, Kaori looked back to see the curious Uchiha gaining on her tail as they both approached to a hallway.

It only made Kaori even more nervous about her friend's strange demeanor. Talk about mood swings. All of a sudden, Sasuke became a different man. A boy who is utterly gorgeous, intelligent, and strong, chasing her around as if he's a lost puppy. They have no idea how many ladies will like to take Kaori's place. Her heart beating rapidly, palm sweating, dizziness, that fluttery feeling when you're about to throw up.

Sasuke finally caught up to her, her pace slowing down as she stopped by a series of stairs. Her chocolate eyes laid on the ground, spotting the Uchiha's black shoes in her view. At this sudden behavior Kaori held, he arched a fine brow. "Everything okay?"

A long silence appeared and it nearly scared him. He can't manage to have a worried visage spreading through his expression, it drawn him to the brunette even more. Mentally rubbing his orbs, he swore he found her eyes overwhelmed with sadness.

The brave Kaori only shrugged, letting a small smile cracked to her lips and traveled up the stairs.

Sasuke didn't stop there, of course he would follow her up a different hall. He certainly has no idea what's going on with her. Did yesterday became a big hit to her? Was it about today during lunch? He has no clue what's gotten Kaori upset all of a sudden. It seems like her light is fading away, dying to burn out anytime soon. Even by the thought of that, there's no way he's going to let that happen.

He found her gazing her bright eyes at particular things, stuff that touched Sasuke's personal life. Kaori stared hard at the picture frame with full concentration and focus; it almost made her blank out. Scanning her view quickly at each person in the photograph, Sasuke appeared behind her.

This is the first that anyone can know about his family. So different and lonely, Sasuke's solitude is miserable. Running her finger tips across the dusty frame, she spotted a younger looking boy standing in the middle.

"My family," began the Raven," are all too serious with life." It just came out of no where. But Sasuke feels like he shouldn't be holding his tongue, not now, not with her. Trusting his instincts, he let his mouth move on its own. "Too serious that it made one of us gone insane. My brother became a horrible influence when he found out that our parents were about to make an end in their marriage. But until this one day when our mom gotten sick, she became too ill that she can't walk on two feet anymore. It killed all of us. Not only me, but my dad and my older brother. Ever since she's gone, both of them done many things that they shouldn't be doing. My brother found ways to cure his depression."

"Breathe! Doctor! There are too many drugs in him! We have to send him in the emergency room quick!"

"As for my dad," biting his lips to leave a purple sore, Sasuke almost choked preventing himself to be saddened, "he wasn't much as a father now. It's like he doesn't care if I'm in the house or out to be going somewhere. He... expresses his anger a lot and takes it out."

A temporary bruise darkened into the Raven's skin, reddening by the impact. Sasuke ignored the extraordinary pain found on his cheekbone, his finger tips tickling the sting beating for blood. "Madara blames everything on you! Not me! If there should be someone to be guilty, it should be you!"

"It still continues now," he stopped. For a moment of thinking, he added. "My brother left to be on his own. I barely see my father returning home. All I get is sticky notes with his writings and money clipped into my wallet."

His whole childhood was ruined. His mother passed away, everything is now out of place. In the looks in the picture, Sasuke looked so jovial and kind. It's very heart-warming when you see a child like that with a great personality. "Please tell me you don't have this kind of life."

She wished she can, but she couldn't deny it and lying just makes it even worse. Without hearing his plea, Kaori started with hers. "I do actually, but not as extreme as yours."

Her voice, so mellow and cheerful. Is that a way to cover up her whimpers? Her sad tone? She took this rather... well. "I don't have a family. I was too young to know how my parents were. But sooner or later, I've heard that they were burned in a building. I figured to do things on my own and taught myself how everything works. Until I've met Tenten, I stayed with her a few times but I can't be a burden. So... I lived without experiencing to know what it's like to have a family."

Sasuke frowned. A life with no parents, not anybody. By the idea of it, Naruto pops into his head. Of course Naruto did have family issues, but he manages to find his parents. She's like him in a way, actually exactly alike. He wasn't quite sure if she's fully sad about it. Kaori did say that she was too young to remember them. Is she too gloomy about not experiencing parental love?

So she's been alone all this time and no one taking care of her. She must live on her own without anybody helping her. So how did she manage to get money?

And it hits him. She must have worked part time at least. If it's full time, she wouldn't be here at school. But she's so focus on school and her work. Is that what everyone heard? No family?

A pang was stroked across his heart. He can feel the pain stretching its way to filled up his chest but yet to feel relief and... a connection. It made the Uchiha feel good about him, knowing the girl he's interested in is going through the same situations in a way. He just can't help it but have this sudden urge to catch her when she falls.

He wishes to stroke that soft cheek of hers and pull back her messy brown hair behind. She's so fragile that Sasuke must have the needs to keep her in one piece at all times.

This phenomenal emotion bursting inside of him, it caused him to make reactions. His nose was colored in bright pinks, the nerves through his body are all shaking, and his sweat glands are constantly pouring. He has never felt this way before towards another.

Maybe there's something more to this feeling, a word. Getting close behind her, Sasuke smoothly touched her shoulders as he can feel her light bones relaxing by his hands. Kaori, who has no clue what's going on through his head, blushing madly at the sudden close up between them, feeling the gap in between their faces are closing in as he gently backed her up against the wall.

Her hand went to his chest to feel his strong heartbeat pumping blood faster. The heat between each others nose began to rise. Sasuke made his move softly and slow, sliding his hand to her thin forearm while his other one resting on the wall beside Kaori's head. With an escaped breath, the two collided their lips together into a passionate kiss.

An explosive emotion erupted in both of their chests; the sounds of their sighs broke out after a pause of breaking the kiss but then went for another. It was sweeter this time which made Sasuke building up more confidence to move in more. It encouraged him to keep going when a pair of soft hands crept around his neck with satisfaction.

He didn't care what he's doing right now. His dusty world faded from his mind and created a new one, one with bright lights and joy. There's no need to be denying his feelings now. He knows for sure that this is the proof, proof that he likes her.

He truly likes Kaori.

For a minute or two, their lips were moving into a quicker pace. But once the vulnerable Uchiha was getting too comfortable with their lip-lock action, Kaori was the one who ends it. Turning her head to cut off the kiss with a massive blush dusting her cheeks, nervously she hopes Sasuke didn't see it. He was too focused on what they just did, getting his mind together to figure out which is reality and not. She is.

Her brown eyes up to his dark ones, a dim light glistened in her orbs. So let's ask again, what can Sasuke do to make her happy?

With a touch of his finger, feathering her cheek as that same pink shade heated her nose. His onyx eyes softened by the reaction of his girlfriend, amused by her embarrassment of his romantic touches. Holding her small jaw line with a thumb pressing against her chin, the Uchiha have a generous smile as his face approached again to hers.

"You don't have to be alone anymore, Kaori," he muttered lowly, letting his pale lips hover over the brunette's and closing his eyes. "I'll always be here for you…"

Another kiss was made. Sasuke's right. She became his world now.
