(Sakura's POV)
Sasuke stood infront of me still pinning me to the wall. He looked a bit upset.
"I scare you?" he asked slowly.
I nodded.
"Hn." he said backing away.
"Sasuke?" I said staring at him.
He didn't say anything. He just stood there looking at the floor. His eyes were no longer rad and scary but black and somewhat sad or was I just imagining things. Maybe his eyes had never been red in the first place.
"Sasuke?" I said again.
"Why?" he said clenching his fist. "Why do I scare you?"
I shrugged. "You...just do."
Sasuke took a deep breath. "There has to be a reason." he said closing his eyes.
"You're distant and you're always snapping at me and screaming. You act like you don't like anyone or anything and...I don't know it just scares me."
He nodded. "You're afraid of me...but not death."
He didn't exactly say it as a question just a statement. I didn't know what to say. I closed my eyes and sank to the floor. "You know...maybe if you talked to me more I wouldn't feel this way."
"What should I say?"
"I don't know. Anything."
There was a long silence. Once again he wasn't going to speak. I never really expected him to anyway. He sat down on the floor against the wall and stared ahead of him.
"I hate cookie dough." he said breaking the silence.
I laughed. "I like it."
Sasuke sort of smiled. I crawled across the floor and sat beside him. "So what do you like?" I asked.
"I don't particualry like anything." he replied.
"There must me something you like." I said. I couldn't believe he didn't like anything. No one hated everything. There was always something.
Sasuke was silent. I stared at him. He seemed to be in deep thought.
"I like..."
The last word Sasuke said I wasn't quite able to hear.

(Sasuke's POV)
From the look on her face I could tell she hadn't heard what I had said. I myself didn't hear either. It was if I hadn't even said it because I had no idea what it was.
"Huh?" Sakura asked.
"I don't like anything." I repeated.
"But you just said you liked something. What was it?"
"I don't like anything." I repeated.
Sakura sighed. "Well...what about people? There must be someone you like."
I shook my head.
"What about your parents? What are they like?"
I didn't say anything.
"Are they nice, mean, loving, caring, worry warts..." Sakura went on and on asking about what type of parents I had. I took the time to think. Nothing came up. It was always blank whenever I tried. I couldn't rememeber them.
"...funny,sympathetic, do they-mmph
I clasped my hand over Sakura's mouth. "No."
She sat there for awhile staring at me before peeling my hand from her mouth. "They have to be atleast like one of those traits. I named everything and-
"I don't know." I said cutting her off.
"You don't know? What do you mean?"
"I don't remember."
"Oh..." Sakura said looking down. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have pressed things. Sometimes I don't know when to be quiet. It's a really serious problem but I..."
Sakura countinued to go on about how she didn't know when to be queit. She was kinda right. I sighed and closed my eyes again leaning my head against the wall.
"...I don't know what it is but-
She paused and blushed. "O.k I'm shutting up." she said.
There was silence between us. Sakura folded her legs and looked at the floor. Her black hair fell into her face so I couldn't see her expression.
"Sakura." I said breaking the silnce.
"Yeah." she replied without looking up.
I took my hand and turned her head so that she was facing me. "Now...do you trust me?" I asked looking her in the eyes.
She didn't say anything.
"Do you?" I asked.
"I-I uh...I...you know-
"Anwser the question!" I said trying my best not to shout.
"What do you mean by trust?" she asked.
I exhaled and closed my eyes. "Would you trust me with your life or the lives of anyone you love?"
She didn't say anything.
I sighed. "You don't do you?"
Sakura took a deep breath and bit her lip. "Sasuke...trust is something is something you have to build up. Sometimes it takes awhile."
"I see." I said standing up.
"Sasuke?"
I reached out my hand and pulled her up. "Get some rest." I whispered.
"I'm not really tired." Sakura whispered back.
"It dosen't matter you should sleep." I said turning my back to her and walking towards the stairs.
"Sasuke." Sakura called after me.
I paused.
"Why do you want me to trust you so badly?" she asked.
"What gives you the idea I want you to trust me?" I asked turning my head a bit so I could see her from the corner of my eye.
"You keep asking about it and you're trying and-
"I couldn't care less if you trusted me or not. It would just be better for your sake if you did."
"Oh." Sakura mumbled.

(Sakura's POV)
I watched Sasuke walk downstairs leaving me in the dim hallway. I couldn't believe we had just had a talk. We had just had a talk but I had really found out nothing about him. He said he didn't care if I trusted him or not but I couldn't help but think otherwise.
Sure he had saved me...two times but still he scared me. I wanted to trust him but I couldn't. Not until he gave me something worth my trust.
I yawned and walked downstairs.
Sasuke sat in the chair. His eyes were open but he didn't look awake. Another thing about him that frightened me.
"Do you mind if I turn on the radio?" I asked.
Sasuke shook his head.
I dashed acroos the room and flicked the stereo on. Then I placed my mix cd. I turned it down low and walked back over to the couch.
"Does the music bother you?" I asked Sasuke as I pulled my covers up.
He didn't say anything.
"I guess not then." I said closing my eyes.
