Chapter 9.

Please review.

Karin's POV.

"Away, to wash my mouth out from that stupid kiss, and don't you go thinking it meant anything because it didn't, it was only to distract you."

Sasuke's words rang in my ears, even after 3 days after our little incident. It hurt, more than ever, she didn't know why she'd care but just does. I couldn't stop thinking about it. There was a hole punched into my stomach, and I realized that I actually liked him. I liked him way too much for my own good.

I laid in our room, alone listening to music. I looked down at my hands gently resting over my grey jeans, and my dark blue shirt held no comfort as it was freezing in this damn room.

I sighed loudly, then jumped nearly falling off the bed as Sasuke came storming into the room, looking more livid the ever.

"What?" I asked, annoyed.

He glared at me and didn't speak as he lunged at me and grabbed me by the hair, pulling me off the bed. I tried to fight him off him but he was really strong. I noticed he had his sharingan instead of his charcoal eyes. He must be hungry, he tends to get more agitated and agressive when he hasn't eaten for a while.

I gasped as he pinned me down on the floor and pushed my long hair from the right side of my neck. I tried to struggle to get out of his grip but I couldn't budge not even a inch.

"Get off of me!" I yelled, still struggling.

He didn't listen to what I said. Just as he slid my hair off my right shoulder and away from my neck, he pinned me down before leaning his head down to the right side of my neck. I felt tears forming in my eyes and I tried to push him away.

I groaned in pain as his grip tightened.

Not again, she thought. Not again.

"Don't. Move." he spoke with so much authority and force, but he didn't scare me not one bit.

"What makes you think I'm going to do what you-" I said angrily but was cut off.

He looked down at me hard in the eyes, I was stuck looking at his sharingan. I felt myself begin to shake with fear as my body trembled under his force. It was silent in the room, only heavy breathing could be heard. I thought my heart was going to break through my chest as it beated rapidly.

He waited for a while and when I tried to inch away from him, he raised a hand and I almost flinched, staying still. I looked up up into his sharingan, a few stray tears tried to escaping my own eyes. I couldn't look at him anymore. I looked to the side.

I let out a sob as his right hand roughly moved my chin to force me to look at him.

"I was testing you." he spoke softly, his eyes turning charcoal black again.

I looked at him in utter confusion. "W-what?" My voice trembled...

He looked down and gently stroked my tear stained cheeks.

"I was testing you, I wanted to see if you let me." he sighed, caressing my right cheek.

"Look what you did to me." he whispered.

"Huh?" I asked shakily.

He smirked released his grip, leaving his right hand to gently rub soothing circles onto my right cheek.

"I'm sorry for hurting and frightening you." he apologized.

I just gently nodded, not sure what to do.

Stray tears still rolled down my cheeks and another cry escaped my lips, I curled up into a ball and let myself weep my eyes out. How could I help it? I was upset. He was treating me wrong then right. One moment he hates me because I'm a human, the next moment he is caressing my cheeks and leading me on. Why this mess of emotions, I was just a 17 year old girl. How much more did he think I can take?!

He sighed softly, and felt his cold hand on my back, he gently rubbed it trying to soothe me. When it didn't work, he stood up. I figured he would leave, I knew he would. I knew he had no heart. Suddenly I gasped as I was being picked up bridal style. He walked over to the bed and laid me down. I laid flat on my back and watched him cautiously.

Before more tears can fall from my face, he laid down next to me and held me close to him. My face was buried in his chest and I gripped his shirt as he held my waist.

"What's wrong my cute tomato?" he asked softly.

I shook my head against him, I wasn't ready to say anything. He chuckled and I kinda like the way it sounds.

"I want to help you, but you have to tell me what's on your mind, first?" he replied.

His cute tomato? He didn't want me? So I could be his? Even if I wanted to be. I tried to ignore my feelings for him, I really did. But after a month of being with him, I couldn't help but like him.

"What are your intentions?" I asked a little bravely.

So much thinking, I forgot I didn't want to speak with.

"What do you mean?" he asked gently.

I turned to look into his eyes. He met my glass covered ones and watched me intently.

"I... uh..." I stuttered.

He was extremely attractive. It was hard to stare into those eyes, but it made me feel like he was reading my soul, like he could see everything I hide.

"Do you hate me?" I asked suddenly.

He looked taken back.

"I'm sorry!" I quickly added.

"No, I don't hate you." he responded gently once again.

He doesn't hate me?

"But you don't like me?" I asked, stated hesitantly.

"Wrong again tomato, I do like you, and I'm not proud that I do." he explained to me.

I thought about it. So he did began to have feelings for me.

"I like you, I tried not to. Because I know you hate me, but I couldn't. I'm sorry." I said nervously.

I felt vulnerable.

He smiled, and gently rubbed my right cheek.

"Do not be sorry, I glad you found a cold hearted vampire likable, don't force yourself not to, because I'm finally starting to like you." Sasuke said.

I was stunned. Joyful, astounded, but stunned.

"So... where does this leave us?" I said, looking at him.

Sasuke smirked. "Right about... here?"

Then he crashed his lips against mine, making my eyes widened and my cheeks blush pink.

Me and Sasuke's lips infused together, strongly and lustfully. I melted into his touch. I couldn't hide my feelings. I felt safe and complete. Afraid and happy. We broke away panting heavily.

"I like you too much." Sasuke whispered, looking into my eyes strongly.

"I feel the same way." I responded.

He looked at me, I took this as my chance to check him out. First I noticed his black shoes, then his black pants, they fitted him perfectly. His shirt was white, it his muscles and a little bit of his abs. And I noticed his stunning charcoal black eyes. They were darker than usual.

"Checking me out, my cute tomato?" he teased.

I felt my heart soar and as if my stomach is filled with butterflies.

"You wish." I teased back, a little flustered.

He smiled warmly at me for the first time.

"Let's go on a real date.' he said suddenly.

It broke me from my thoughts. I stared at him curiously.

"Really?" I asked.

He nodded, "Yes. It will give us a proper chance to know each other and start over."

It sounded good to her.

"Okay." I said, smiling sweetly.

"Be ready by 8:10." he smirked, before kissing me on the lips, then left the room.

I blushed a little, putting my left hand to my lips.

I looked at the time, it was around 6 at night. I decided to take a shower since they usually last quite a bit of time. Once I was done, I decided on on a pair of dark grey skinny jeans, a brown shirt, and brown flat shoes. I started brushing my hair neatly.

Once done, I stepped out of the room and went to the center hall.

"You look beautiful." Sasuke said softly, staring at me.

I looked at his appearance. He had on the same pants and shoes, but he wore a cobalt blue shirt. His hair was amazing, still in his usual style and wonderful smile.

I smiled at him and blushed lightly. He was really gorgeous.

"I thought a nice dinner in the form of a picnic in the garden would be great."

I nodded and he held out his right hand out to me. I smiled and placed my left hand on his hand. He walked us outside and to the garden. I gasped as we reached the small secluded area.

Small white light lit up the garden, and a purple blanket laid on the ground, holding our dinner on it. I smiled more and I got a little nervous. It was my first date.

"This is beautiful." I said, amazed as we sat down on the blanket beside each other.

"I'm glad you like it." he smiled back.

It was weird. Sasuke was never this nice to me, ever. I wasn't quite sure how to react to his intentions of fixing things between us but I knew it would made me happy none the less. I sighed once we started eating, and soon we laid beside each other on the blanket and watched the stars.

"Have you always been so fierce but also shy?" Sasuke asked quietly.

I looked at him from the corner of my eye and realized he was watching me.

I blushed. "What do you mean?" looking at him confused.

He now smirked. "You look like you could beat many people in a human fight, you don't let people boss you around, and seem to hide your real emotions. But you do seem to your softer side to others." Sasuke explained.

I thought about for a while. I did want to tell him, so I tried to answer the question in some kind of way. I closed my eyes.

"Because I don't want people walking all over me because I am too nice. Some will do that."

"I think it would be better if you showed your softer side more often."

I quickly opened her eyes and looked at him, then groaned. I started ask him a question.

"Why do you hate me so much... and why now did you decided to give me a chance?"

He looked at me in the eyes then he looked at the stars. "I wasn't happy that I was getting arranged to marry a human, who I don't even know and despised." he explained.

I nodded.

"Has it always been you and your mother?" he asked me suddenly.

I froze.

"Y-yes." I responded cautiously.

"Did your father leave?" he asked suddenly again.

"Uhh... he passed away when I was little." I explained.

He flinched, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked." He looked down at me with apologetic eyes.

I sat up and took his left hand with my right hand. "Don't be, I never got to know my father. So I don't really miss him." I explained looking down.

He nodded and watched me curiously.

"Thanks for... taking me on an official date." I said, looking at him.

He smiled warmly before saying, "Your welcome."

As we looked into each other's eyes, we grew closer. We closed our eyes, soon our lips met once again and I was in pure bliss. I smiled against his lips. He pulled away and wrapped his arms around me, pulling down against the blanket. I kissed him again passionately. I cuddled into his side and he held me to him, under the stars. I couldn't help but to smile once again. This date was everything I could ever ask for.

I pulled away for a second.

"Sasuke?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you think... you could ever love me?" I asked.

He stiffened and pulled away.

"Just great, can't believe I drove him away with that question."
