Ch10. I guess it is

I woke stiff as a rock and found it somewhat hard to move and that my throat was on fire. I was thirsty, so much so it was as if I had never had a drop of water. I looked around frantically finding no source or quench my thirst. I climbed out of the bed I had been lying on, my feet hit the ground and I felt as though I was walking on ice. I stood up carefully understanding that moving too fast would result in another mental, emotional, and physical breakdown. I looked around carefully, I was alone and still no water. There was a conjoined bathroom so I went there fully determined to get water down my throat and cool the dry fire.

I turned on the faucet expecting cool clean water to flow, but nothing came. I could hear the pipes rattle but that did not help at all.

"Here," a small clear cup of water was handed to me and I yelled in shock. Staring into the mirror over the sink I saw Sasuke's reflection. He held in his hand my savior, water, h2o. I took it and gulped greedily not even pausing to consider the water could be drugged.

I gasped for breath as the water soon drained to my stomach. "Thank you," I muttered softly knowing he could hear me. "How long have you been here," I asked. It was annoying me that he was here and yet I thought I was alone.

"You were talking in your sleep about needing water so I left to get some. When the pipes rattled I knew you were awake. I've only been here for a few seconds."

I nodded and continued to stare at him, he stared back. It was intense our stares, either one of us could have burned through a wall. I broke our contact when I started reliving that night in my head. The night where he left, I did not realize I was crying again on till Sasuke brushed away the tears. I was shocked even more so now, Sasuke never showed affection, not to me at least. That just made me cry more. I saw his brow furl slightly in confusion.

"Why do you cry, Sakura," I heard his voice ask me. By now my entire body was shaking even though my tears where steady. My heart was pounding like humming birds wings.

"It's because of you Sasuke."

He still looked slightly confused, "What?"

"Ever since that night," I watched him tense; he knew what I was talking about, "I can't seem to get my mind away from you. I always fought so hard so one day when I saw you again I could bring you back. But look at me, I'm crying just like I always do. I'm weak and useless. I can't even bare to be away from you for too long because then I remember all of it."

"All of it," he asked.

"Yes all! Me running after you, saying I would scream if you left. You teleporting behind me, you said thank you and that caught me off guard and then you took that chance to knock me out leave me on the bench and walk away from Konoha." I was hysterical but at least I was looking him in the eye throughout my rant.

His eyes lowered, "You don't remember anything else," he asked.

"Well if you are talking about me waking up the next morning and screaming your name, then yes I remember that too."

"Nothing else," he asked.

"What else is there to remember," I shouted.

"This," he answer right before his lips met mine. He kissed me right there in the bathroom with no working water. He pushed me against the sink and I felt his hand on my cheek as though he was trying to guide me into kissing him, which was too much in a state of shock to do at the moment. Gradually though I did kiss him back. I leaned into him wanting just a little bit more, and he seemed to take the hint. His kiss got rougher, it was mind blowing, even more so when his tongue lightly touched my lips, a silent question. I had wanted this to happen for so long, I wanted his kiss to be mine. Without warning I pulled away from him, not giving him what he had asked me for.

"We can't, not here, and not now," I stated sadly. We were pressed extremely close together gasping for breath. His eyes where smoky and I knew exactly why but my common sense would not let me go that far.

He nodded, "I know," he kissed me one last time soft and gentle. I smiled and kissed back until my vision bled black and Sasuke slipped like a shadow through my hands. "What's happening," I asked my voice echoed making me sit up suddenly in bed. The room was dark I was alone, this was déjà vu. "It was a dream," I asked aloud. I shook my head but could not erase the feeling, there was a bathroom still there in the room was calling to me. I climbed out of bed and walked to the little room, turned on the light and looked into the mirror. Instantly I was scared, my lips where red and slightly bruised, just like someone had kissed me roughly.

"It wasn't a dream, it was real," I smiled at my reflection. I looked down at the sink and there sat a cup full of water that confirmed it. "It was defiantly real."
