Recap:
"This sucks!" Sasuke shouted, slamming his fist on the ground.
"And mom doesn't even believe us!" Itachi added in.
"I know, she thinks were smoking again!"
"I know, what a bitch." Itachi replied, quickly covering his mouth, regretting what he said.
"I'm not going to tell her you called her a bitch, Itachi." Sasuke said, pulling his hands away from his mouth.
"Good."
Sasuke glanced over at Sakura from the corner of his eye. "Why is she shaking?" he thought to himself, as he smoothly draped an arm around her shoulders, feeling her jump a bit from his touch.
He smirked. Pulling her closer he intertwined his fingers from his other hand with hers, trying to calm her nerves down. The roar from outside had only gotten much louder, as they all sat, in the middle of the hallway, just waiting, for the worst to come.
Monster in the Basement
Chapter 11
Feelings
--
-Sasuke's POV-
I glanced towards the female sitting next to me. Bundles of pink hair engulfed my vision. Her head quickly turned towards my direction, her green eyes catching my onyx ones in a death grip. She caught me. She tilted her head in confusion, expecting an explanation as to why I was staring at her. I gulped and hesitantly smirked, causing her eyes to grow dark.
"What?" I asked, seeing her cheeks turn a light hew of pink.
"What do you mean what?" She replied, taking control of the argument.
"You were staring at me."
Ooo, bang. I got her. I had quickly turned the whole situation around and now I was in control. After all what an Uchiha wants, an Uchiha gets. She wasn't going to win this little conversation so easily.
"I w-was not!" She stuttered, face now matching her cute locks.
"Yes you were." I added in, hearing Itachi chuckle with delight from behind me.
I inwardly rolled my eyes and began to ponder about the latest events. Something didn't add up to me and I'm beginning to suspect something. How does this monster get around the house so quietly and cunningly if its so big. And yet, it claimed 9 souls in one night, nobody even seeing what was coming.
It was a predicament, that nobody could grasp. It was just too confusing. Let alone it could also grab people through the walls and the floor. Deidara and Sasori were taken through the wall, and Hinata through the floor. It was strange. My stomach churned again, and I was becoming nauseous from the stench of blood. After all, my room was right down the hall were 3 people were killed. I shuddered at the thought. If we made it out alive and we continued to live in this house, my room would be haunted. Sakura noticed my face grow pale from the corner of her eye and then she turned to me and said, "Are you alright, Sasuke?"
I looked at her, completely surprised that she noticed the color of my complexion change. Shifting my position so I was now facing her I answered, "Yes, I'm fine."
She nodded her head and turned away again, looking towards the wall. My eyes drifted along her gaze and I found myself boring holes in the wall, my glare so intense. I actually sort of felt bad for the wall because of the killing intent inside my orbs, but I shrugged it off, considering that it had no feelings what so ever. Also, for some strange reason, my gaze kept swinging from the wall to Sakura. I couldn't put a finger on it but somehow, I kept getting this feeling that theres more to the feelings I already have for Sakura. Theres something inside my chest that hurts every time I see her cry. Every time she was hurt, I would get so nervous and hectic that I would constantly make a fool out of myself just to be by her side.
I hadn't noticed it before but when I talked to Itachi a couple of weeks ago about this feeling he told me that I was in love with her. I laughed. Sasuke Uchiha doesn't fall in love, especially with the most annoying girl out there. But then again, every time she would smile, no matter what mood I was in, I would suddenly feel better, and every time she laughed, my blood would race. I liked this feeling. It makes me feel alive. But whenever shes not at my side, I worry constantly if shes okay. Okay so maybe I do have more feelings for her than I expected. A little?That brings me to another subject, I hate my inner. Whenever I think something, he always has something to say. It gets on my nerves, especially when hes right all along.
My grip tightened on her hand and she looked over at me. A warm feeling began to flood into my body, a tingling sensation. It was so warm, it made my blood boil. Somehow, I felt like everything was going to be okay, as I looked into her big green eyes and muttered in a low tone, so low nobody could here it, not even god himself. "I love you."
-Sakura's POV-
I was just looking around the hallway, trying to get my mind off of my dead friends when I looked out of the corner of my eye to catch Sasuke staring at me. It felt a little awkward so I just looked at him. His lips tugged upwards into a smirk and I felt my eyes grow cold.
"What?" He asked, seeing my cheeks turn a light hew of pink.
"What do you mean what?" I replied, taking control of the argument.
"You were staring at me."
My insides burned as he cunningly turned the situation around making it seem like I was the culprit the whole time. Stupid Sasuke, he thinks hes soo smart. I know right! My inner was raging with fury, but I managed to suppress her, because after all, I was in control.
"I w-was not!" I stuttered, my face now matched my pink locks. I wish I didn't stutter but I happened.
"Yes you were." He added in, glancing behind himself for a second to glare at his chuckling brother.
I quickly set my gaze towards the wall in front of me. Somehow I found it quite interesting, it seemed to put an end to my guilty conscious. As I watched the wall intently, as if it were about to do a trick, I noticed Sasuke's gaze upon me again. I felt butterflies flutter in my stomach and became a bit light headed. I didn't know why, but every time he would look at me, I felt nervous. Whenever I looked at him, something would pang against my rib cage, swelling bigger and bigger. So big no ice or cold water could sooth it. Every time I looked him in the eyes, my mind would become lost in the dark waters of his onyx orbs, only coming back to reality when I snapped back to my senses. My inner would laugh at me, but then tell me that I love this boy. This cold-hearted arrogant, spiky-haired Uchiha.
Somehow, I agreed with her, eventually. My mind kept drifting to the kiss we had shared earlier. I could feel a blush creep onto my face from the scene. He had kissed me unexpectedly, and frankly, I enjoyed every minute of it. Even though I was slightly confused, I was happy. I hadn't realized what I had been missing for 4 years when I met him. I've liked him since then but I didn't have the guts to come clean with my darkest secret. It was embarrassing at the time because I thought he just thought I was some annoying fangirl like the rest. He was wrong.
I really did or should I say still do care for him. Most of the time my friends would get mad at me because all I thought about was him. I eventually put those feelings aside and I tried to move on with my life. It didn't work, however, and soon my mind was preoccupied with him again. Something that part of me regretted, but the other have didn't. I glanced at him again, he looked pale, so I asked him if he was okay. He said he was fine, so I just focused on the wall in front of me again. The silence had long been situated in the hall so now the air wasn't so heavy as before. I felt some weight being lifted as the silence grew quite soothing instead of nerve wrecking. I then felt pressure on my hand. I had noticed Sasuke's grip tightened on my hand. I didn't flinch though, it made me feel safe, knowing he was there, holding me tight.
I then noticed he said something, although I couldn't hear him, his lips said everything, "I love you."
-Itachi's POV-
I sat on the ground with Ayama in my lap just observing the surroundings. I felt warm with her body so close to mine. My mind began to wander on the things I so eagerly wanted to do with her, but I quickly chased those fantasy's away so I could focus on what was going on. I glanced towards my brother who was staring at that Sakura girl next to him. He seems to like her. I thought evilly as she caught him and now questioned him. He of course, denied it and turned everything around on her. Her face flushed and I began to laugh. Sasuke turned around towards me and glared a glare that would have been intimidating to most. But not me, his glare was weak compared to mine.
I felt something stir inside me when the girl on me rested her head between my neck and shoulder. I wrapped my arms around her stomach and held her close, seeking warmth I couldn't produce on my own. Her scent filled my nose, a pleasant aroma of a minty tea leaf that smelt so good. I felt her warm, soft lips place kisses on my neck and I smirked. I placed a tender kiss on her cheek. I noticed the silence grew comfortable, and that the winds had died down some outside. A good sign. I thought, looking out of the window. The breathing of the teenager on my lap had steadied, signaling to me that she had fallen asleep. I rocked slowly back and forth, to keep the nightmares from coming to her while she was in a slumber.
I unzipped my pocket on the side of my pants and fiddled with the ring inside. At first I wasn't sure if I should propose or not, because I wasn't sure how she felt. But now, after the events that occurred, I knew that my choice was a wise decision. I knew how she felt towards me and I knew that she trusted me with all of her heart. I felt relief wash over me as I zipped my pocket back up and resumed holding my love, my girl. Her even breathing tickled my neck as I gazed at her lovingly. Despite most people calling me cold and uncaring, they never took the time to actually get to know me. Thats why I tripped and fell in love with this girl. Never in my days did I actually think a mere girl could break down my defenses, the walls around my heart and get inside. She was the only one who took the time to get to know me, that was about 6 years ago.
I grew the nerve to ask her out in my Sophomore year and we've been together ever since. Thats how I came to be best friends with Sasori and Deidara. Kisame and I hadn't known who they were until I met her brother Sasori. He had threatened me when he discovered I dated his younger sister. I felt no intimidation but I acknowledged his protective manner for his sister and I envied it. I envied that protectiveness because it made me feel guilty that I couldn't be there for my younger brother. He hates me, sort of, now, and I wish I had been there to help him when he was jumped about 3 years ago by a group of kids from his middle school. Now that I think about it, next time I see them, I should return the favor. I thought, inwardly laughing.
I then looked at my younger brother, how was gripping onto the pink-headed girl beside him. How foolish was his little brother anyways? Didn't he see the feelings this girl held for him? I see it and I met her about a few years ago. Even Naruto saw it, and he hadn't even noticed Hinata's feelings for him until yesterday at their little indoor camp fire. I smiled inwardly, so nobody could see and continued admiring the girl resting peacefully that captured my heart, the love of my life and hopefully my wife, Ayama.
-Ayama's POV-
I sat on my boyfriends lap, my conscious fading from reality to dream world. I was tired yes, but I didn't want to fall asleep. I knew if I did, there was a possibility I wouldn't wake up. I began to get a strange feeling inside me, after I recalled the events that had happened a few days ago with Itachi. He had been acting so weird lately, it worried me. The feeling inside had bothered me as I thought of thousands of things that could be bothering him. Did I do something wrong? I thought, being self conscious, trying to remember all the things I did.
I began to feel drowsy again, and I rested my head in between his neck and shoulder. I felt him tense at my touch, but then relax, I just smiled and closed my eyes, placing warms kisses on his neck. He smirked and kissed me passionately on my cheek before looking out of the window. My eyelids slowly fell shut and I felt my body being rocked back and forth. I wanted to go to sleep, but my mind was concentrating on too many things, thus forcing me to stay awake.
I felt Itachi shift and hear a zip. I quietly opened an eye and peering at his hand in his pocket. He seemed to be playing with something. I wanted to know what it was and my curiosity got the best of me. It was nearly eating at my conscious. At any rate, he pulled his hand out and zipped it back up, wrapping his arm around me again, the warmth racing back to my cold body. I felt safe in his arms, all I wanted to do was remain with him forever. I want to wake up every morning and see him sleeping soundly next to me. I want to be able to spend every night with him, make him feel better when he was down and chase away his nightmares in the middle of the night.
Soon I found myself actually falling asleep in his strong arms. They constricted tightly around me, but not tight enough to kill me. His scent was soothing, he smelt like Axe Phoenix. I smiled at the thought of watching him spray himself with the joyful scent. But then, other visions came to my mind as I thought of him washing himself with the soap. A blush crept onto my face as I nuzzled into his neck to try and force it back down into the depths of myself. With my last moment awake I glanced at him and smiled, before advancing into a more drowsy state. My sleep was always dreamless, everything was black, no color, no images floated to me.
I lay in his arms, almost asleep. The only thing that kept me company in my dreams was my annoying inner. She never left me alone when I was dreaming. She constantly told me all of the feelings I had towards the man I slept upon that I didn't know were there or even exsisted. It surprised me to the max, and I somehow was okay with it. And for some reason, Itachi's little brother Sasuke and that girl Sakura reminded me of Itachi and I when we were young like that. I tried to understand him, and he slowly warmed up to me. I smiled again and this time finally succeeded in falling into another dreamless slumber, hoping I'll wake up to see Itachi's face.
