10: Mixed Emotions
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I woke up with the sun beaming on my face. I smiled, reliving last night's kiss with Sasuke. Ahhh! He's such a good kisser! Oh my god, he's not only good, he's amazing. Mmm, I'm so glad that he took my first kiss. Who would have thought that I, miss I hate all players, would give my first kiss to a player? And who would have thought that I would fall for one?
…
I can't believe that I love Sasuke. I mean I denied it so many times, but it's the truth.
I sighed, slowly slipping off the small blue ring off my pinky. I held it in my hand as I scrutinized it sadly. I guess it was about time for goodbye. This little boy was the reason why I kept my first kiss as secret, so that he could take it, but sometimes things don't go as planned. I placed the ring in a small jewelry box on top of my desk. As I closed the lid of the box, I closed my eyes, placing the little boy far away from my mind as possible.
Sasuke, I'm in love with you.
Please don't let me regret this decision. But wait, Sasuke finally got my first kiss. Well my first kiss was taken in a weird place, but the timing was perfect. Anyhow back to the topic. Sasuke finally got my first kiss. He finally kissed me. So what does that mean?
…
I'm such an idiot! It means that Sasuke no longer has anything to do with me. He finally kissed me so he can go frolic with other girls and all those sluts that I'm going to be jealous of now. If that is the truth, then I'm nothing now to him and my first kiss was a waste. I'm such an idiot. Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! I was so happy about it, too, and admitting that I was in love with him.
My heart dropped as I slowly sat down on the floor, my eyes slowly tearing. So is this how it feels to be heartbroken? To have my heart feel as if were ripped apart and taken out of my body? To feel so numb that I want to feel again, but can't? To feel like nothing else matters except for the one that I love?
I didn't think I would have to say goodbye to two people in one day forever. Goodbye little boy, whoever you are, and goodbye Uchiha Sasuke, my first love.
I sighed, finally getting up from the floor. I couldn't dwell on the facts anymore. I have a life to live, but I don't want to live it without Sasuke by my side. Damn it. I wish I never fell in love with that stupid player. I shook my head before getting dressed. Apparently there was going to be another meeting between the Lights and the DBC Plaza. Wow another meeting with Mikoto-san. I wonder how that will go? I can just imagine it now:
"Oh Sana, we have to have Sakura and Sasuke get married! They will be the most darling couple ever!" Mikoto-san chanted excitedly.
"Oh my god, I know Mikoto. We will have such gorgeous grandchildren, also." my mom squealed in delight. "Sakura, Sasuke, we decided that you two will marry today! We planned out your honeymoon in Hawaii so that Sakura's first time will be especially romantic!" Mikoto-san winked naughtily. Sasuke smirked sexily at me. "Don't worry Mom. I'll make sure it's very special and I'll secure a grandchild from our romantic night together. Isn't that right Sakura?" He touched me gently, but it was enough for me to remember our special kiss from the night before. He pulled me closer and slowly nibbled my ear. I closed my eyes, enchanted by his methods, but he interrupted it. "Just don't mind the other girls I bring back into the hotel. I'll make sure I'll use condoms with them."
Sasuke whispered, turning towards our mothers, smiling sweetly.
Oh no! It's going to be a disaster! First off, I'm too young to get married. I mean I know I admitted that I love Sasuke and everything, but I'm not ready for that kind of commitment. Second, I don't want a honeymoon baby. I want to spend a couple of months with my husband so he won't think I'm a total bitch. And finally, I want Sasuke all for myself. I don't want to share with those other women.
Damn, I'm so jealous. I am and I can't deny it anymore. I don't want to see Sasuke clinging onto some other girl or vice versa. He doesn't deserve to be with those other girls. He deserves better. He might even deserve someone better than me. After all, I always thought about Itachi and not about Sasuke. I don't deserve Sasuke, but I still want him. He's special to me, so I want to be the only girl in his arms, kissing him with my all.
I glided down the steps, skipping breakfast as I walked towards my car. I drove towards a small, yet elegant restaurant. Our meeting was more like a breakfast gathering. Gah, it's going to be torture to have breakfast with my parents and Sasuke's parents. Not only that, but Ino and Sai are going to be there as well as Sasuke. But the worst part is that Itachi is going to be there. I don't know how to face him after I gave Sasuke my first kiss.
I'm sorry Itachi. I can't even date him after kissing Sasuke, right? Isn't it wrong to date the brother of someone I absolutely thought I hated, but I'm deeply in love with now? Goodbye Itachi. I guess I'll be saying that a lot from now on. I sighed, parking into the small lot near the restaurant. I got out, not minding the real world. I was still stuck in my thoughts that it took me a couple of seconds to realize that someone was pulling me back into my car.
I turned, ready to slap the person in the face, but I felt his lips brush gently against mine. Instantly, I melted against his touch. It was Sasuke. He hugged me tightly, deepening the kiss with an electrifying effect. He pulled away, smirking his usual smirk at me. He pecked my lips, holding my hands.
"Morning Sakura." Sasuke kissed my hand, looking at me as he did.
Oh my god, he is so hot!
Control yourself, Sakura, I quickly scolded myself.
"Good morning." I kissed his cheek.
So much for controlling myself.
"Mmm, someone's in a good mood this morning." Sasuke kissed me again, starting the entire melting feeling all over again.
"Okay, okay, I get it." I said, pulling away unwilling. "We have a meeting to get to."
Sasuke smiled slyly at me before getting out of the passenger side and opening the door for me. I smiled at him and he pulled me into a small alley near the parking lot.
"What are you doing?" I asked, my eyes twinkling.
What was this naughty boy doing?
"Reliving our kiss from last night, honey." Sasuke's eyes twinkled, teasingly, and before I knew it he was already kissing me full on the lips. He pulled me closer towards him and his hands slipped towards my butt. He pulled away a little and snuggled his head next to my ear. "I can't wait to get you into bed after this meeting."
I kneed him in the balls before running away.
"In your dreams. You won't get me into bed." I yelled, my head turned towards him.
I ran into something soft and fell onto the ground, my butt slamming down against the hard, cold concrete. I looked up to quickly apologize when I lost my voice for a mere second. Itachi stood in front of me, his hand stretched towards me. I took his hand as he helped me up. Oh my god, what am I doing? Why am I feeling so giddy inside again? I mean I love Sasuke, not Itachi, right?
"I'm sorry Sakura, I didn't see you coming out of the alley." Itachi apologized politely. "What were you doing in there anyhow?"
"Taking care of some business." I smiled evilly.
Oh my, I'm glad that I'm not marrying Sasuke because he won't be making babies anytime soon if I keep kicking him in the same spot.
Itachi laughed. "In an alley? I won't ask about that, but would you like me to escort you to breakfast?"
I bit my lip, smiling. Oh no, it's that feeling again. The feeling I always get around Itachi. I must look like a fool to him. Idiot! Why am I such a clueless idiot around guys like him? It's not fair!
"Hands off my girl." Sasuke pulled me away from Itachi.
"Not today, little brother." Itachi grabbed my waist and pulled me back towards him.
"Yeah, he's going to be my escort to the meeting." I quickly said, hiding behind Itachi. Sorry Sasuke, there's something about Itachi that I can't resist.
Sasuke gave me a glare while Itachi smiled at me. Towards Sasuke I stuck out my tongue, shaking my head. Take that you dirty player, which reminds me why is he still around me? I mean he greeted me this morning with such dazzling kisses that I forgot that Sasuke should be with another girl.
"You're mine." Sasuke growled.
"In your dreams." I retorted.
"Which makes me sleep peacefully since I know that you and I are going to end up in bed later tonight." Sasuke blew me a kiss.
My eyes lit up with fire. "If you want to sleep with girls, then you better watch out because I'm ready to kick your crotch again."
Sasuke covered his crotch, whimpering. "Okay, girl I'm just stating the truth."
"Like I said, in your dreams. Come on Itachi." I smiled sweetly at Itachi before facing Sasuke to give the coldest look.
Itachi held out his elbow as I slipped my hand through the space, gliding with him towards the restaurant. Ah, Itachi is so romantic. I could actually marry Itachi. No, I can see myself married to Itachi. I love Sasuke and all, but he's a player for life and Itachi is second in line for me. Hehe. Okay, so I wanted to make Sasuke jealous. It's harmless, right? Maybe it's not only that I want to make Sasuke jealous because this feeling inside me when I'm with Itachi is not normal.
Itachi smile slyly to me. This smile is different. That smile looks a lot like the one that Sasuke usually gives. Oh my god, I need to get away from Sasuke. Even Itachi's actions are starting to look a lot like Sasuke's, which isn't possible. I smiled sweetly at Itachi as we began walking towards the restaurant.
On the way there, a lot of girls stopped and stared at Sasuke, who nodded his head at them. I bet he was smirking at them, too. Sasuke stopped one of the girls and talked to her for a couple of seconds before taking out his cell phone. I saw them exchange numbers, glaring evilly at the girl. She finally parted from Sasuke after placing a kiss on his lips, which caused an explosion inside me. My nose flared as I felt fire in my eyes. Jealously took control of me as she finally turned around. I became even madder when I saw how gorgeous she was. As she passed Itachi and me, I tripped her, sending her flying in her too short mini skirt. I smirked as I heard her curse.
"Sorry, I didn't see you there. I hope you're okay." I said sweet as sugar.
According to my brother, the sweeter I talk to people, the madder I was. Since I was talking especially sweetly to this whore, I must have been pissed.
"At least your pretty face didn't get ruined." I whipped around towards the voice.
It was Sasuke.
He reached out towards the girl and helped her up. When she got up, he pulled her close to his body, smirking at me. He quickly turned towards the girl, his smirk growing bigger as he wrapped his hands around her waist. He kissed her lips, and I wanted to rip them apart and throw the girl in the middle of the street while kicking Sasuke in the balls, but I didn't. I turned away, pulling Itachi towards the restaurant as I walked calmly. Okay, so I sort of stomped in there, but I kept my composure.
That stupid player. I hate him. Forget it. I don't love him. I hate him. I absolutely hate him. That stupid dirty thing. He can die in his lust while I cry my eyes out. Okay, don't cry Sakura. He's not worth any tear. Don't think of anything good. Think of all the bad times with him. Actually, don't think about him. He's disgusting and filled with STD's. The girl that he's kissing can get his STD's and carry his baby. It's all good.
"Hello Mom, Dad, Mikoto-san and Fugaku-san." I bowed politely to the parents in the room, who beamed at me. I turned towards Sai, who nodded his head slightly, "Hey Nii-chan. How are you?"
He tilted his head towards Itachi before narrowing his eyes at me. I smiled weakly, telling him with my eyes that Itachi's better than Sasuke at least. Sai shook his head and continued to glare at Itachi, sending that glare to me occasionally.
Sasuke finally walked in, wiping off the lipstick off his mouth, gently placing the napkin in the waste basket. I moved closer towards Itachi as Sasuke passed by me. Itachi's grip on me tightened and I smiled angrily at Sasuke who narrowed his eyes on Itachi's arms around my waist. It was silent for a couple of moments before he turned towards the parents.
"Good Morning." Sasuke bowed ninety-degrees politely towards them.
"Aww, my baby boy is all grown up and so polite." Mikoto-san kissed Sasuke's nose.
Ew, Mikoto-san please that nose has probably been up that slut's boobs or something.
"So why was this meeting called?" I said, interrupting Mikoto-san's little moment with that jerk of a player.
"We're going to announce that the Lights and DBC Plaza were finally going to be one." my mom smiled brightly at me.
Sai, Itachi, Sasuke and I all widened our eyes in surprise. Sai and I looked towards each other, surprised that we were not notified earlier about this information. I didn't think that Mom and Dad wanted the Lights to merge with others.
"Why?" Sasuke raised his eye.
"Aw, Sasuke, we just think that since your Dad and I already friends with the owner of the Lights, we figure that it would be the best to merge, so that we don't need to borrow some of their cooks and other employees." Mikoto-san smiled brightly.
"I think that make Sakura a perfect match for me. I'm an heir and she's an heiress, and since the Lights and DBC Plaza were now merging, in the future we could manage it together." Itachi smiled, his eyes shrinking as he smiled happily at me.
"Yes, I think Sakura is a very perfect match for our handsome Itachi," Mikoto-san smiled mysteriously at us.
"I think so, too," I smiled sweetly towards Sasuke who narrowed his eyes at me.
"Itachi, Sakura would you like some coffee? Maybe some tea?" my mother said to us, smiling at how close we were.
I looked at Itachi, biting my lip while smiling. He smiled back before telling my mother, "Certainly Sana-san."
"Then in that case, you two have a date tonight at the DBC Plaza. We will give you a special room filled with romance and gorgeous meals." Mikoto-san sighed dreamily.
"That's not necessary Mom. Itachi and Sakura shouldn't be having a romantic dinner together. There's nothing special about today." Sasuke protested.
"No problem. They look adorable together." my mother quickly said.
Sasuke eyed Itachi and me up and down. "No they don't. I bet Sakura would look much better with me."
"It doesn't matter right now, honey. You're not the one with Sakura right now." Mikoto-san shot back.
Mom, Mikoto-san, I love you guys right now. Hehe, but you hooked me up with Itachi. I would rather be alone right now, but if you insist, I guess Itachi will do. He's a lot better than that flipping player over there.
"Please Mom, don't let Itachi and Sakura have that romantic dinner together." Sasuke begged his mom.
"Honey, I don't see why there is a problem." Mikoto-san looked dumbfounded.
"Remember? Sakura's my girlfriend." Sasuke practically pleaded with his mom.
Mikoto-san looked at Itachi and then at Sasuke. "But Itachi told us that you were only joking around with us about the whole girlfriend thing."
Sasuke shot Itachi a glare, who sheepishly shrugged his shoulders. Ah, I love you Itachi. Man, today is my lucky day. Yay for me! Okay so I'm touched that Sasuke is trying so hard to get me out of a dinner with Itachi. I was even more touched and even more in love with Sasuke when he went down on his knees in front of our mothers.
"Mom, Sana-san, please I'm begging you. Don't let Itachi and Sakura go on this date." Sasuke bowed down, his arms and hands on the floor.
"Enough." Sai kicked Sasuke over, who quickly got up and hid his fists behind his back. "Look Mom, Mikoto-san, sorry but I hate to say this, but I agree with Sasuke."
"WHAT?" I screamed, surprised.
My brother hates Sasuke with a passion, so why would he agree with Sasuke? You are my enemy right now Nii-chan.
"There is no way I will let my baby sister go on a date with Itachi unless I have eating at the same table as them. Also, I will never allow Sasuke and Sakura to go on a date or be near each other so keep him away from her." Sai said, sternly.
"Saaaiiiiiiii." I tripped as I walked towards Sai.
Instantly Itachi broke my fall and our lips touched, my eyes wide open.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Oh my god, am I kissing Itachi?
My eyes widened even more as I registered the fact that I'm kissing Itachi in front of everyone, including Sasuke. Itachi's eyes flung open, just as surprised and almost dropped me, but caught me, making sure that he didn't kiss me again. He helped settle me on the ground before straightening out, smiling awkwardly at the parents. My face grew hot as I stared at everyone in the room.
"Wow." Mikoto-san simply said, astonished.
Sasuke stomped over to Itachi, his fists tightening. His jaw hardened as he stood in front of his brother. Oh god, are they going to fight? I closed my eyes, waiting for the sound of a fist to go flying, but I didn't hear it. Instead, I heard footsteps coming closer to me. I opened my eyes, almost jumping into the ceiling when I saw Sasuke in front of me. He gently cupped my chin, bringing his lips closer to mine and kissed me.
He slowly pulled away, letting his gentle kiss linger on my lips. He smiled at me. "Your pure lips were soiled."
"Oh my!" My mom squealed from excitement. "My daughter is being chased by two good looking guys for the first time!"
"Honey, please calm down. I think we have a dilemma on our hands right now, remember?" my dad reminded my mom.
"Oh, yeah." she looked at the ground, sadly, like a little girl, "They really do look cute together. Such a shame."
What dilemma? Mom, Dad, you two have some serious explaining to do when we get home.
"Sorry I'm so la-a-a-ate." Ino stopped when she saw Sasuke and I so close to each other. "Did I miss something here?"
"Who are you? Oh, you're so gorgeous. Are you single?" Mikoto-san asked, suddenly curious in Ino.
I guess Mikoto-san's trying to set Ino up with one of her sons, but no chance with that. Ino already has her boy, who is unfortunately my dorky older brother. Ino gave Mikoto-san a look, probably thinking that Mikoto-san was a lesbian or something.
"Oh, I'm Ino. I'm Sai's fiancé." Ino smiled, flashing her diamond engagement ring as she held out her hand to Mikoto-san.
"Oh, this young lady is the lovely Ino that you were raving about Sana. She is quite the catch. Sai must be thrilled to be marrying her." Mikoto-san exclaimed excitedly.
"Of course I am! I would give the whole world just to be with Ino." Sai kissed Ino's cheek, who blushed cutely. She softly punched Sai's stomach while telling him to stop.
I smiled at the two. Their wedding was only two weeks away and all Ino could think about was her wedding. Ino also comes from a very wealthy family so everything at the wedding was going to be expensive. Ino spent almost 100,000 dollars on her wedding dress just because she wanted to look amazing in front of Sai at the wedding. My parents even offered to pay for the entire wedding, but Ino said she couldn't accept all that money.
"Could you excuse us for a couple of moments?" Fugaku said, pointing towards all the parents.
"Yes, I think that would be a very good idea. Go start breakfast. Waiters!" my dad quickly said as he huddled the parents into a smaller, exclusive room in the restaurant.
We all looked at each other with the same confused expressions. Sai forced me down next to window. He helped Ino settle down beside me before he sat in front of me, watching Sasuke and Itachi like a hawk. Just to make Sai a little pissed, Sasuke sat down next to him, placing his arm around Sai's shoulders while Itachi sat down next to Sasuke.
"Man, you need to chill." Sasuke smirked, laughing a little.
Sai gave him a look while he took Sasuke's arm off his shoulder. "So you pissed that Itachi stole my sister's first kiss? At least he's somewhat better than you."
"Nah, I'm not pissed because I took your sister's first kiss." Sasuke smirked at me, knowingly.
"WHAT?" Sai kicked me hard in the shin.
"OW!" I cried out in pain. Oh my god, that kick hurt. I kicked him back, twice as hard and I enjoyed hearing him groan.
"You two seriously kissed before today? When was this?" Sai interrogated me, glaring.
Whatever I say, I'll be dead so I might as well tell him the truth.
"We kissed yesterday night," I bit my lip a little. "I couldn't sleep after what I said to Sasuke earlier, so I decided to go work at the Lights. When I got there, I had to park a little far so while I was walking this pervert grabbed me and tried to rape me, but Sasuke saved me and well, then we kissed."
"Someone tried to rape you?" Sai's eyes popped out of his skull and his nose flared. "That fucker is going down. Do you know him? How did he look like? I'll punch that sucker down into the dirt until he has no face."
"I don't know who he is. He was-" but I never finished because Sasuke cut me off.
"It was Kankuro." Sasuke said curtly.
"What? That mother fucker? Damn that guy always tried to fuck us over back in the da-" Sai looked over at me before stopping. "That fucker is going down. Where is he? I'll fucking send him to his fucking grave right now. I should have dealt with him when I had the chance."
What did Sai mean? Kankuro? Who is he and what was Sai going to say before he stopped? Kankuro tried to ruin something for Sai and Sasuke? When were they ever friends? Nii-chan, you better answer my questions or I'll make you cry like a little girl when I expose to everyone that you wear Barney and Teletubbies boxers.
"Sasuke and I already dealt with him." Itachi said softly, his face stiff. "That fucker won't be getting out of the hospital for a while or his little buddies."
WHAT? Itachi curses and fights, too? Ah, he was too perfect to be true. But aww, Sasuke and Itachi were sweet enough to take care of that pervert. For the first time ever since we met Sasuke and Itachi, Sai smiled at them, even if it was for a moment. Sasuke and Itachi smiled back, nodding their heads. Wow, this is definitely a moment to remember. Sai's not pissed at these guys for once.
"I'll pay a visit to that fag sometime this evening." Sai smiled evilly.
"Sai, you are not getting into any fights before our wedding." Ino scolded him.
"But sweetie, this guy tried to rape your best friend, my younger sister. I think this one time can be an exception." Sai pleaded with Ino.
I sighed, knowing that Sai was inching to get into a fight. Ino rolled her eyes before looking at me. We both knew that the Uchiha brothers already took care of that pervert Kankuro, but Sai still wanted to do something to him.
"Lay off it. Don't ruin your face before the wedding." I finally said, trying to help Ino.
Okay, I wanted that scumbag to learn a lesson, which he probably did because of Sasuke and Itachi, so there's no need for Sai's help.
"I promise I won't punch him or anything. I just need to speak to him. Please Ino." Sai begged from Ino and me.
"Fine. I'll give you two minutes when we get to the hospital." Ino finally gave in. She quickly added, "Only if Sakura goes in there with you."
"My pleasure. He'll think twice before he messes with you again," Sai gave his evil smile, which scares me sometimes.
"Then it's settled. So let's eat. I'm so hungry." Itachi said out of the blue. He grabbed his menu and quickly figured out what to eat.
Haha, I remember when we first went on our valentine date, Itachi and I ordered so much food. We ate all of it, but Itachi ate most of it. I'm so jealous, though. Itachi's skinny, but he eats so much. I wish I could do that. After I eat a lot of food, I have to run like six miles just not to get fat. Boys are so lucky sometimes. I mean they don't have to worry about their weight as much, to get their periods or even to give birth. Lucky bastards.
"Aniki, don't eat so much in public," Sasuke shook his head at his brother.
"Hey, shut up. I like eating." Itachi's face lit up like a child's.
Sai muttered something and Sasuke quickly laughed. I didn't catch what Sai said, but I saw him hide a smile. Itachi must have heard, also because he quickly gave Sai a glare. I stared at the three for a moment and remembered the picture at Sasuke's house.
I saw three little boys smiling at the camera, each holding an ice cream bar. The boy on the left looks so familiar. It's like I've seen the boy before, but I can't seem to remember.
If only Sai sat in the middle then maybe it might trigger something. If Sai really was friends with the Uchiha brothers, then something big must have happened. And if they were all friends before, then how come I don't remember meeting Sasuke or Itachi? I mean I should have seen Sai hanging out with them somewhere if Sai never brought them home. It just doesn't seem to make sense. If the Uchiha's have a couple of the picture, then we must have one too. Mission for Sakura: find the picture of the three little boys and find out everything about Sai's past with the brothers and find out who that little boy on the left is.
I don't understand. What happened between them for Sai to hate them so much? They seem to joke around a lot right now. Hmmm, I wonder if I say something.
"Wow, it's just like old times." I slyly said.
"Yo you have no idea. Man I sort of missed this thing." Sai laughed, smiling brightly.
"I know what you mean. It seems like it's been forever." Sasuke laughed happily.
Itachi smiled brightly. "Yo we were like inseparable. And I was never a fat pig! Look at me, I'm still skinny."
"Yeah you're still the fat pig. You ate more than Sasuke and I combined." Sai teased Itachi, who sent him a glare.
Wow this is the first time I heard Sai call Sasuke with his name. Oh, so that's what Sai muttered earlier. He probably said that Itachi was still a fat pig. Hmm, I'll wait a little longer before I expose these three.
"Whatever, man. At least I'm taller than you, still." Itachi laughed before adding, "Midget."
"Man, what you talking about? I'm two centimeters shorter than you bubble gum. Well at least my younger sibling isn't taller than me." Sai smirked.
"Whatever, man. It doesn't matter because you'll always be the midget in our group." Itachi laughed.
"Yo, shut up! Man, I knew we were missing some people: Naruto, Kiba, Deidara and Shikamaru. Damn, it seems like ages since I've seen those fools." Sai laughed like a little kid. "You guys still chill with them?"
"Yeah, you should come chill with us like old times." Sasuke smiled genuinely at Sai.
"Aha! I knew there was something about you three. What happened that made Sai pissed at you guys." Haha, I finally caught them. So they were friends before and how come I didn't know. "And why didn't I know about your friendship?"
Sai's face returned to its normal pissed expression. Sasuke and Itachi looked away as I stared each of them down. Ino looked at Sai, apparently she didn't know about this either. Sai glared at me, while I glared back. I knew if I let the conversation go on, they would forget that Ino and I existed. Muahaha. I can be sneaky sometimes, especially with my idiotic brother.
"Sakura." Sai's face darkened.
Uh oh, that's the face that indicates that he's ready to kill someone. Mom, Dad, hurry up in there. Sai is going to kill me!
"Uh, I didn't say anything." I tried to look innocent.
"That was dirty." Sasuke stared me down with his evil look.
"The worst trick in the world." Even Itachi stared me down.
"Ino?" I whimpered.
"Sai you better stop or I'll make sure this ring goes down the toilet." Ino threatened Sai.
Sai looked out the window, ignoring me. "You want answers? Figure it out on your own."
"You children didn't even order yet? I knew we couldn't trust them with anything. They're going to starve themselves one day." Mikoto-san came back all happy.
I looked over at my mom and smiled happily at us, but she was still sad about something. My dad hugged her and the sadness faded. Fugaku hugged his wife's waist as he rested his head against her shoulder.
"So we have a proposal." My dad finally said.
"Since Sai seems to object to any dinner with either Uchiha brothers, we've decided that Sakura should choose what to do." Fugaku explained.
"What? Me?" I looked at them shocked. How about no dinner and say we had one?
"Yes. Only you can choose who you want to have a dinner with." Mikoto-san smiled brightly.
A romantic dinner with one of these guys? Who would I even choose? I admit I'm in love with Sasuke, but I'm scared. What if I get my heart broken in the process? I mean he already kissed that slut in front of me and what if it continues? I don't want to get hurt. And I still have that giddy feeling with Itachi. I can't completely be in love with Sasuke if I still get that feeling around Itachi. I don't know what to do. I told Ino everything last night before I went to sleep, but she only smiled at me before going back to sleep. I don't know what to do. Ah I'm such an idiot.
"I pick neither." I simply said.
"Honey, you have to pick one." My mom said sweetly to me.
"Hey, how about we set her up with air? Since it's the only guy she'll marry." Sai smirked at me.
"That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard in my entire life." I glared at him.
"I think that maybe Sakura should have dinner with both of them." Ino said, politely.
All the parents quickly turned towards her, surprised. Fugaku quickly asked her a question. "But she would look like a player with both boys with her at dinner."
"No, she should have a dinner with them separately. She can have one dinner with Itachi and another with Sasuke. Don't worry about Sai. I'll keep him away." Ino smiled.
"Then it's settled. Itachi, my daughter will have dinner with you later this evening and Sasuke you can have dinner with her in two nights." My dad said curtly before the parents said their goodbyes to us and left.
We all stared at each other. Sasuke had that smirk on his face while Itachi smiled politely. Sai gave death glares to Sasuke and Itachi. Ino and I stared at each other, nervous. I guess the happy moment between Sai, Sasuke and Itachi was over. It was nice while it lasted. They were actually pretty funny together. And the whole gang used to hang out together: Sasuke, Sai, Itachi, Kiba, Naruto, and those other two. I think they were Deidara and Shikamaru. Hmm, I wonder if I'll ever meet them.
"Well we should get going. I have to pay a visit to Kankuro." Sai stood up and pushed Sasuke and Itachi's seats away from him so that he could have space to walk.
I rolled my eyes at my brother as Ino and I got up. He was showing off and acting immature. Yet it's quite impressive that he can push both Sasuke and Itachi in one shove. Sasuke and Itachi got up, also, blocking Sai's path.
"Move."
"We're going, too. We didn't finish one thing." Itachi's face darkened, his lips pursed.
Who knew that Itachi could be such a scary gangster? I'm glad that I'm not on Itachi's bad side.
"Fine. Don't get in my way." Sai coldly said before shoving the two aside.
This was going to be one interesting hospital meeting.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Sai slammed open the door to Kankuro's hospital room. We all shuffled in and Itachi locked the door behind us. Sai grabbed my wrist and dragged me over to Kankuro's bed. His eyes were closed and he was badly beat up. Both his legs were in casts and he had a broken arm. He had a cut on his lip and forehead. I could see bruises all over his entire face and arm. He slowly opened his eyes and quickly shut them when he saw Sai.
"Open your damn eyes Kankuro." Sai yelled in a scary tone that sent shivers down my spine.
Obediently, Kankuro slowly opened his eyes, whimpering. I could see fear in those eyes. Immediately, I hardened. I recognized him even though his face was somewhat deformed. It was the guy from the alley just like Sasuke said. He should be scared. For once, I was actually proud that Sai was a great fighter and could make any guy quiver in his presence.
Sai smirked evilly. "So you wanted to rape this girl next to me?"
"I-I-I" Kankuro stuttered.
'ANSWER ME!" Sai grabbed Kankuro's shirt.
"YES!" Kankuro whimpered in fear.
"You messed with the wrong girl then." Sai let go of Kankuro's shirt as Kankuro sighed in relief.
Sai grabbed Kankuro's stomach and began twisting it which caused Kankuro to scream in agony. I turned away, not wanting to see, but Sai turned me around.
"You fucker. This girl is my sister. You mess with her, you mess with me, Haruno Sai. You understand you mother fucker?" Sai yelled, still holding onto to Kankuro's stomach.
"Yes. I'm sorry. I didn't know." Tears came out of Kankuro's eyes as he tried to speak. He screamed in pain as Sai tightened his grip.
"If you ever touch my baby sister again, I'll send you to hell and I'll bring the entire gang to help give you a slow and painful death." Sai did a final twist, which sent Kankuro's screaming to the next level, before finally letting go.
I actually felt pretty bad for Kankuro. I mean he did try to rape me, but the pain that Sai just put him through sounded like he was dying. I shuddered at the thought, especially since Sai just sent Kankuro a death threat. Sasuke came close to me and pulled me into his arms. He hugged me tightly, making me feel warm and safe, again. I didn't care what Sai thought right now because I needed this hug. Sasuke let go and grabbed Kankuro from the shirt collar, pulling Kankuro half a foot of his bed.
"Fucker, I hope you learned your lesson because if you mess with her again, I'll personally give the final blow to kill you." Sasuke threatened Kankuro, who immediately nodded his head and Sasuke dropped him, which made Kankuro scream in pain once again.
Itachi glared down at Kankuro before we all walked towards the door, but Kankuro's voice stopped us.
"Haha Aya begged me not to hurt you before she died."
Itachi turned around, suddenly looking as if he grew ten feet taller. Itachi grabbed Kankuro and threw him out of the hospital bed and into the window. I gasped, in fear and surprise. Kankuro's body made a crack in the window before he slid down to the floor. Itachi kicked Kankuro hard in the stomach and picked him up from his head. Itachi punched him in the stomach again and Kankuro spat out blood.
"Don't you ever fucking mention Aya again." Itachi's voice scared me.
"She had a beautiful body." Kankuro laughed.
Itachi threw Kankuro towards the wall and kicked him over and over again, yelling curses. Sasuke and Sai pulled Itachi away since Kankuro was bleeding heavily now. Itachi tried pulling away, but Sasuke and Itachi held on tightly.
"Not now. He's time's not up yet." Sai said, pulling Itachi away.
"That fucker deserves to die. He doesn't deserve life." Itachi tried even harder to shake both guys off of him.
"Aniki, we'll get him later when everyone's together. You know if Suigetsu comes into the picture, we're gonna need everyone." Sasuke begged his brother.
Itachi finally stopped and stared down at Kankuro, who stopped taunting Itachi and was almost lifeless.
"Sasuke won't be the one to kill you when your time comes. I will in the same way as you did before." Itachi walked away, unlocking the door and walking out.
Everyone followed, silenced. Sai held Ino's hand as he walked out the door. Sasuke held my hand, looking at my eyes. I smiled slightly at him and he spat at Kankuro before escorting me out the door. As we walked down the hospital corridor, I couldn't help, but wonder about these boys. They were all fighters and they fought for a reason, either pride or for the ones they cared about. I looked at Itachi as we walked. He was the scariest out of all of them, especially when the girl Aya was mentioned. I wonder who Aya was and what happened to trigger the events between everyone.
"Itachi, stop!"
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
AN: I'm sorry I didn't updateyesterday (since I update everyday) but our family go to an amusement park…and it was really exhausting afterwards (but I had fun) so I don't have the power to write anymore…so yeah. My bf and friends wanted to come tomorrow, but don't worry I already have two chapters advance. Anyways, I saw some reviews saying that the kiss reminds them of their first kiss, omg me too! (At lease the feeling) But my first kiss is more like Ino's, but I couldn't say it is an accident because it is not. My relationship starts from the best-friends-love-each-other-but-can't-tell type of love story. He's teasing me and saying that I will ruin my first kiss with my "current" boyfriend (because like Ino I will planned to gave him mine that day) and then he started to tickle me so I run then I tripped with him and we landed on the couch (the side of it) but we didn't kiss like the usual cliché story, but instead he just suddenly kiss me. Okay enough of my story…I also wanted to thank those who said that the kiss is good. You guys really made me so happy. Thank you =)
This is some of the sentiments that one of the reader said:
"a girl getting nearly raped and then saved by someone who she'll magically fall in love with is very played out"
I know the whole girl almost raped then saved by the main guy is too much cliché, but I wanted you to know that the whole raped scene was not just been put there so she can "magically fall in love" or for Sakura to finally to have her first kiss, but because of two important thing in this fic. First, so that Sakura would finally realize her feelings for Sasuke after she continue to deny her feelings for him. So Sakura realize her feelings for him because he save her? NO that's not it. Sakura finally realize that she fall in love with Sasuke because if you remember, she call him out of the people she knows…I mean why would you call someone you loathed so much right? The fact that she called Sasuke not Itachi (or even her family) is one prove that she love Sasuke and believe that she is safe with him, and he is her knight in shining armor…I know it's cheesy, but that's my point when I wrote that scene. Also if you still remember, when he started to lean and kiss her…out of all his attempt to kiss her…this time she lean forward to kiss him too meaning she WANTED to kiss him that's why she said that "I gave my first kiss to a player". Second, I used the scene so that it would finally unfold some secrets and the drama and twist that will finally start because this fic is not about Sasuke getting Sakura's first kiss or Sasuke finally have her as a girlfriend, it is much more than that. I hope you see what I wanted the readers to see, but I want you to know that I'm not mad by writing this…I just wanted to explain what I want the readers to see when I wrote that scene =) Oh and your comment about how Sakura call every guy "cute"…well it's just a habit that me and my friends have…like calling every handsome guy, "cute"…like 'oh he is such a cutie' or 'omg that guy is pretty cute' instead of 'what a handsome man' because it felt like an old woman….and we call guys with a great body, "hot" and usually those were when you see them half naked (like in a beach)…the reason why sakura only call the guy hot when he shows too much skin… and so yeah I guess my habits were being put as Sakura's haha sorry if it's kinda annoying.
Questions that might pop out:
Why is Sakura acting/feeling that way towards Itachi? Didn't she say she love Sasuke? Is she having two hearts?
Sakura LOVE Sasuke okay? Why would she call him instead when she almost get raped right? Sakura is acting she still hate Sasuke because Sasuke still look like a playboy and she thought that Sasuke only want her because he sees her as a challenge and when he got what he wants he will leave her, but that's only her assumptions. On the other hand, Sakura being/feeling giddy with Itachi is because her crush on Itachi was still there. Does anyone here experience that though you love someone, you still feel giddy when you see/talk to your crush? I do experience that…Though I love my best friend I still feel giddy when my crush is talking to me, but as you spend time with him you would realize that you have no feelings beyond just a crush, and that what Sakura would experience in next chapter (since she have dinner date Itachi). I explain this already so that you readers know that Sakura is not two timing Itachi and Sasuke. She's going through some confusions in her feelings, and she's still having doubts to give her whole heart to Sasuke because she's afraid that Sasuke will do the same just like he did with other girls.
Why is Sasuke kiss the slut?
Sasuke kiss the slut just to make Sakura jealous. Don't worry…he is not going back to his old habits. Guys love that especially when they wanted you to tell them that you don't like to see them with other girls, and if they want you to confess to them or if they wanted to see if you feel the same way as they do or payback time. Trust me I know since I experience that. And that were exactly what Sasuke's purpose for kissing that girl.
