Chapter 12: The Photograph
Last time on "Promise":
"Mmm… Sasuke…. Don't go…. " Sakura clutched Sasuke's shirt. Sasuke turned back and tried to pry Sakura's hands open, but no avail. Sighing, Sasuke laid along side with Sakura. Eventually, Sakura released Sasuke's shirt from her grasp, but Sasuke made no movement as to get up.
"Arigatou… Sasuke….." Sakura snuggled closer to Sasuke, the top of her head resting just below Sasuke's chin.
'Aa…. She's so warm…. It's so… comfortable….. Might as well…. Enjoy it….'
Sasuke's eyes dropped down, and his breathing regulated. That moment, Sasuke had fallen asleep, alongside with the one he cared so much about…. Sakura Haruno.
Normal POV
"Kyaa!! PERVERT!!" Sakura threw the closest object near her, a clock, at the "pervert". The said "pervert" fell to the ground, clutching his head due to the inanimate object that just smacked him.
"SAKURA! I swear I didn't mean to grope your ass!" The pervert... ahem… Sasuke, got up from the ground, still clutching his damaged head. Sasuke tried to get near Sakura to explain his side of the story, but was hit with a pillow over and over again.
"LIAR!! You WERE groping my butt and trying to be innocent when you're not!" Sakura slammed the pillow countless times on Sasuke, trying to render him unconscious (if it was even possible). "How the hell did you even get in this bed?!"
Sakura continued to hit Sasuke with the pillow, only to have it ripped to from her hands and thrown onto the floor. Seeing that she was defenseless, Sakura tried to make a dash towards the fallen pillow, but was pinned down onto the bed by Sasuke.
"You know that hurt right?" Sasuke breathed down Sakura's neck, making Sakura feel uncomfortable with the closeness.
"Let... me... GO!"
"Now, now Sakura I don't think you need to... leave right now. I believe I owe you an explanation don't I?" Sasuke leaned upwards, his head hovering above Sakura's right ear. "Last night, I believe it was YOU who made me stay. I recall that a certain someone grabbed my shirt, and told me to 'not go'. I believe that was you, Sakura."
"What?! That's absurd I would nev—" Sakura stopped midsentence for the memory of her clutching Sasuke's shirt and making him stay flooded back to her. A rosy pink blush crept up to Sakura's face, making Sasuke smirk at her.
" So you remember don't you?"
"... Hmph... but that still doesn't explain why you were GROPING my BUTT."
"I TOLD you, I wasn't groping your butt. It just so happened that your ass was where by hand was. And when you woke up, it was still there. I can ASSURE you that I was not groping your butt... though I may have been touching it..."
"HA! You admit it! You DID touch my butt!"
"You were accusing me of GROPING... then it turns to touching. Why couldn't you just start out with touching instead of groping? Then this wouldn't be so difficult!"
"Tsk... you are just trying to mess with me now aren't ya?! You're trying to divert it to another topic subtly so that you can escape! But I guess it's not working, 'cause I am smart! You WERE groping my ass and you can't go back on what you said!"
Sakura slipped out from Sasuke's hold and got up from the bed. All of a sudden, a grin broke out across her face, and Sakura started to dance around singing outloud. "Sasuke ad-mitted! Groping my buuu-utt! I'm gonna te-ell eve-ry-oooone! Then he'll get beat up, by Na-ru-to. And I'm gonna laugh at him a looooot!"
Sasuke got up from the bed and ran towards Sakura, murder emitting from him. Sakura's eyes widened and she squealed as she dashed out of the bedroom door. Sasuke quickly followed her out and chased her down the hallway.
"Saaaa-kuuuuuuuuur-raaaaaaaaaaaa!" Sasuke soon caught up to Sakura downstairs and grabbed her around the waist. Sakura gasped, surprised that Sasuke had caught her already.
"LET ME GO SASUKE!!"
"I don't think so Sakura. I am NOT going to let you get away this time." Sakura squirmed in Sasuke's grip, trying to break through, but Sasuke only tightened his hold. Sakura thrashed and thrashed, until a thought came to mind.
"Sniffles... sniffles... S-S-S-Sasuke... why are you so mean to me?" Sakura hung her down and covered her eyes with her bangs. Sasuke stared at the sniffling Sakura.
"... You know, pretend crying isn't going to make me release you, you know that right Sakura?" Sakura's head shot up, surprised that Sasuke had seen through her plan.
"Hmph… you are smarter than I thought. I guess I will just have to try another method." Sakura swung her foot back as hard as she could, kicking Sasuke at the family jewels. Just like any guy, Sasuke fell down to the ground, wincing in pain, and releasing his hold on Sakura. Sakura took that moment to try and escape, but was suddenly brought down to the ground by some other weight.
"Sasuke! I thought you were down for the count."
"...unh... I am tougher than... ah... most guys..." Sasuke had Sakura on the ground, his arms around Sakura's waist. Sakura tried to squirm free, kicking and flailing her arms about. The flailing caused her to hit a nearby bookshelf, which knocked some books down onto the two.
"OW! Why do you have such heavy books Sasuke?" Sakura rubbed her head, trying to ease the pain from the impact of the thick book. The book opened up and revealed a picture of Konoha years before. The background was the nearby park that stood near Konoha High. In the picture were two kids yelling at each other, a boy and a girl. Looking at it closer, she saw the little boy had raven locks, and the little girl had rosette hair.
Sakura picked up the open album, and stared the photograph in front of her. Sasuke sat back up, but kept his hold on Sakura.
"Sasuke... why do you have this?" Sakura pointed at the picture in front of her, a quizzical look upon her face. Sasuke looked down at where Sakura pointed to and his eyes hardened.
"That is none of your business." Sasuke abruptly grabbed the album away from Sakura, his eyes cold. The album was closed, but something fell out of it. As Sasuke walked to the bookshelf to put away the album, Sakura crawled over to the fallen object. Gently, Sakura picked up the fallen object... the fallen letter.
Sakura opened the letter and stared at its contents.
Sa-kun,
I'm sowwie that I ha to go... but I pwahmise that I will be bak! wemember we have a pwahmise to keep! Tat is what will emind me to com bak! Don't be sad ok Sa-kun? Even though I am not really there, I will be in your heart!! Remember not to fa—
"What are you doing Sakura?" Sasuke finished up putting away the books and turned around to see Sakura reading... THE letter. Walking briskly over to her, Sasuke grabbed the letter from her hand and made it disappear from her sight.
"Sasuke... where did you get that letter?"
"Hn… It's none of your business Sakura." Sasuke stomped away from Sakura trying to avoid the question. Sakura got up and followed Sasuke into the kitchen.
"I believe it IS my business Sasuke." Sakura stood in front of mounting her feet into place, and eyes hardening at Sasuke. Sasuke just glared back at Sakura, and suddenly pinned her between his arms.
"It is NONE of your business. Everything in this house relates to me, which means it's my business and no one else's." Sasuke neared Sakura, their noses barely touching.
"Sasuke... tell me why you have that picture of me and... him?"
"What are you talking about? This can't be you... it can't be you... and besides that boy is me."
"No it isn't Sasuke… that boy is not you. I am sure of it." Sakura's head dropped down, her eyes cast on the floor.
"Sakura what are you talking about? I am pretty sure I can tell if it is myself or not. I am myself for one thing." Sasuke took Sakura by the chin and lifted it up to face him. "This is me... okay? That is all you need to know Sakura."
"No, Sasuke... you are wrong. This guy in the picture... is the younger version of my ex-boyfriend Sai."
Author's Note: OMG! I can't believe what happened!! OMG OMG OMG!! I didn't expect that to happen and I am the writer of this story!! wow.. who would have thought Sai would come into this story now. Well... I am sorry for another twist... but I just had to since I need to go back to the topic of promise. I hope that this story was okay. I tried my best! Anyways, the next chapter will reveal Sakura's relationship with Sai and clear up all the thoughts she had in the beginning. Also it will show some more parts of the Promise. Hope to see you in the next chapter!
p.s. please vote for my poll!! I need your help!!
Thanks,
