"Damn it!" Kakashi hissed as he watched her run out the door.
"What's wrong?" Shizune asked, her eyes closed and head on his shoulder, completely ready to pass out.
Kakashi looked down at her and cursed himself, pissed that this whole thing happened.
"Hey what the hell happened…………Oh" Genma stood in shock behind Kakashi.
Kakashi turned and upon seeing Genma he quickly handed Shizune to him. Without saying a word he disappeared into the crowd and out the door. "Where the hell did she go?"
Just after the words left his mouth a kunai flew passed his head, he barely had enough time to dodge it. Turning on his heel he wasn't surprised to see Sakura standing there. Any sign of previous tears almost unnoticeable, now a look of anger and pure hatred shown in her emerald eyes.
"Sakura you have to……" Quickly he had to dodge another kunai.
"I don't have to do anything" She hissed. How could she have been so stupid? That was question she kept asking herself. Just minutes ago she got her hopes up thinking that what he had to say was he wanted to be with her, but apparently she was wrong. She clenched her fists trying to control her anger. "I want nothing to do with you" Her voice shaky.
Kakashi's heart was racing. This was not how it was suppose to turn out. But what could he do to make her listen. He grunted at the thought, there would be snow in July the day a man made Sakura do anything, that much was certain. He also wanted to know how many more weapons she was hiding under that dress.
"Please" He began slowly, testing the waters. "Let me explain."
Her eyes narrowed piercing right through him. They stood there holding the others gaze. The music from the pub was the only sound that could be heard. It was tearing him apart, the silence was almost worse then saying a word. Suddenly a crash sounded from the inside drawing Kakashi's attention. Next thing he knew he was sliding on his back down the street, his abdomen burning with pain from the force of her punch.
He rolled to the side avoiding another attack and scrambled to his feet. She kept after him throwing punch after punch. As much as he didn't want to fight her she was leaving him no choice. She throw another punch, this time he dodged grabbed her arm and swung her around trapping her hand behind her back. "Enough" he scowled.
He could feel her body trembling with anger. "Get your filthy hands of me." Her voice held venom.
"Not until you calm down."
After a moment she finally spoke "Why?" Her voice low and her head hung. "What gives you the right? Why should I listen to any lie you have to tell me? I'm done. I don't want anything to do with you or your excuses."
His grip on her loosened and she pulled away as if is very touch burned her skin. A pain struck, he didn't know why her words hurt so much. Then his conversation with Asuma earlier that day came back to him. 'Sounds like your in love' could he really love Sakura? He closed his eyes gathering his thoughts and emotions. In the short time they've spent together could his feelings have grown so deep. It had to be true the desire he felt to have her near him was something stronger then he ever felt before. He couldn't lose her. "Sakura" His voice almost a whisper. "I'm sorry won't even begin to make up for the way I've made you feel. But please believe me when I tell you I would never intentionally hurt you." He opened his eyes, her back still to him he could tell she was crying now. Taking a deep breath he continued. "I want to be with you Sakura, so please give me another chance."
His stomach was in knots when she didn't answer him. Her body was trembling and he wanted nothing more then to put his arms around her. But he knew deep down he couldn't break the barrier that stood between them right now. She wiped her tears, and struggling to calm her shaky voice, she said two words that crumbled his world.
"I can't"
His heart felt crushed as he looked away. Just then he heard there names being called out. "What did you do to her?" Ino demanded as she embraced Sakura. "I knew this would happen. You were……."
"Ino!" Genma broke in sternly, sending her a look that silenced her. Ino narrowed her eyes as she walked off with Sakura. He looked over at his friend and the painful expression he saw on his masked covered face was enough to tell him things had turned for the worse. "Kakashi give it some time." He said setting his hand on his shoulder.
Kakashi shrugged off his hand. "Leave me alone" Was all he said as he walked away down the dimly lit street.
It was official, Sakura decided that this was the lowest point she'd reached in her life. The dim light she used to be able see had completely burnt out. It had to have been the alcohol that made the words come out when she told Ino everything, from the night she first spent with him to now.
"Why did you tell him you can't?" Ino suddenly asked.
Sakura snapped away from her thoughts and looked at her friend through blurred vision. "Why does it matter?"
"Because you love him, right. I mean he pretty much told he loved you so why didn't you grab at the opportunity."
Sakura averted her gaze and stared blankly at the floor. "I can't trust him"
"Hmm, I agree. I don't think you can trust him. He was after all holding Shizune in his arms tonight."
Sakura clenched her eyes shut, the image flashing in her mind. How could he do something so stupid? How could he hold her one minute then tell me that he wanted to be with me? Who gave him the right to play with my heart this heart this way? She pondered the thought for a moment and couldn't help but give a little laugh. She was the one that gave him the right. The moment she started to have feelings for him she gave him complete access.
"But maybe he has a good excuse" Ino continued.
Another small laugh came from Sakura. "Here I thought you would tell me that it's good I found out now rather then later."
Ino sighed as she stood retrieving the coffee pot from the counter. "I can't do anything about who you fell in love with Sakura."
"Why do you keep saying I love him, I never said I did."
This time it was Ino's turn to laugh. "You have got to kidding me. You are so in love with that man you don't even know what to do with yourself." She poured them another cup and sat back down. "Besides if you didn't love him, would you be sitting in my kitchen crying over him right now?"
Kakashi shrugged his vest on as he made his way down the dimly lit hallway of the house. It had been two weeks since they last spoke to one another, two weeks since the that night. And it's been a week and a half since he began leaving before dawn and not coming back till it was dark. As much has she didn't want to be near him, he couldn't stand being around her. Not when he loved her so much, not when he wanted nothing more then to hold.
Stepping out into the misty morning he sighed. He was glad their rooms were at separate ends of the house. Being under the same roof was proving to be hard enough, but having to sleep in the room next to her would be far worse.
He made his way first to the memorial stone. When he stood in front of it, he thought this is the most he visited since this mess started, his time was always occupied with Sakura. "One month" He thought out loud. That's how long they've been married. In one month he gained something he never knew he was really missing and within fifteen minutes he lost it. He closed his eyes as the night at the pub played over and over in his mind.
How they were going to get through the next eleven months he had no idea. He couldn't build a bridge he already burned. Even with all is Shinobi training he couldn't find a way to reach the other side, the side where Sakura and a happy life were. He gave a silent pray just as the raindrops began to fall. He shook his head as he thought it was funny even the weather matched is mood today.
