To my readers: I wanted you to have a sense of anger twords Sakura so you could correspond with her friends in this setting. You'll understand why I set it up the way I did once you finish this chapter. And Thank you for the reviews. Much appreciated. Enjoy...
Sasuke woke up around 3:00am. More like he stayed awake the whole time. He flipped the sheets over him, picked up his boxer's off the floor, and made his way downstairs. He grabbed his clothes by the couch and put them on. Walking over to the table, he grabbed Sakura's empty water-glass and put it in the dishwasher. He walked over to the front door, unlocking it, and made his way to his car.
Sasuke slammed his head on the roof of his Charger. "Damn it…damn it…damn it! Uah!" He bent down grabbing a rock and threw it as far as he could down the driveway.
"Calm yourself Sasuke."
He looked over his shoulder and saw a man in a suit, leaning against a black Mercedes.
"Were you successful?"
Sasuke stormed over to where the man was, raising his fist in the air , he attempted to hit him as hard as he could but the man pulled out a gun, shoving it in his chest.
"Don't get carried away now. You forget we have something of yours that can easily die with a snap of two fingers. Now, were you successful?"
Sasuke slouched to the ground, feeling powerless. "I did what you want. Now let Mitsune go."
"Did she drink all of it?"
"Yes." Sasuke gripped his hair.
"Good. Kabuto will be pleased. That substance you put in her drink was a very strong hallucinogen. She probably saw Itachi instead of you. No matter, She won't remember a thing when she wakes up but body aches and a searing headache. Which are common side effects. The last thing she'll remember was easing her sons tension. Oh I forgot you kissed her before that…too bad." He smirked down at him.
"You were watching?!"
"Not only that but we recorded it as well. Here is your copy." He tossed a CD at his feet. "I want you to show her friends. I cut out the unnecessary parts. Making it look like she was seducing you."
"You bastard! Because of you I have NO family LEFT! Give me Mitsune!"
"Tsk tsk… I destroyed it. Sasuke YOU did. Besides, your job isn't finished yet. I want you to go around and tell Sakura's friends that you slept with her, and reveal a sinister secret."
"What?"
"Tell them that she was so in love with you, she could no longer hold in her desires. She wanted to forget Itachi's touch and wanted to remember yours. Tell them that if you didn't sleep with her, she was going to turn all your friends against you saying you tried to rape her. Also, let them know she couldn't bring herself to tell Itachi, not wanting to break his poor little heart. She fell out of love with him, and in love with you. You should also put in she used Itachi for his money somewhere in there too. Just to spice it up a bit."
He walked over to the driver's side opening the door. "I'm sure you can fit that in your schedule, please do exaggerate the story. Sasuke."
He looked up at him with a glare that could kill. The man smirked. "Once you make sure everyone turns against her, tell your brother. Don't disappoint me Sasuke, or I'll kill her." He looked up at the night sky. "A brother that drugged his wife and fucked, to save the woman he loved. And everybody would put hatred and anger on poor Sakura's shoulders. But most of all, the love of her life would feel betrayal, and he would resent her for it. He'll gain custody of his son and send her away to the streets where she was born. What a lovely story." He slammed the door shut and sped down the drive way, leaving tire marks at the end.
Sasuke put his forehead to the cement, letting tears of frustration and hurt drip off his nose. He pulled out his cell phone and dialed Shikamaru's house phone.
"Hello?" It was Ino's voice, it sounded quiet and rough from being woken up.
"It's me."
"Sasuke? Why are you calling so late. Is it Sakura?" She spoke an octave higher feeling panic rise in her chest.
Sasuke tightened his grip on his phone. "Yeah. Something bad happened."
"What?"
"I slept with her."
Ino was quiet on the other end. "What?!"
"I need you to pick me up. She cut the wires in my car."
"Sasuke, what the hell is going on?" Shikamaru rose up hearing Ino's anger.
"She's been persistent lately. I had no choice. She hasn't been leaving me alone since Mitsune passed. Ino, she said she loved me. I couldn't bring myself to tell anybody. I didn't want my brother to get hurt. I wanted to tell him But he wouldn't believe me no matter what, so I did the one thing that would convince everyone."
"This is a bunch of bullshit Sasuke. Sakura wouldn't do that. I know her."
"I have evidence. I recorded it so you all wouldn't turn…against me. You have to hurry before she wakes up."
"I'll be there in 10 minutes." Sasuke looked at his phone. Smashing it on the concrete. He walked back inside the house, grabbed a pair of scissors, and cut the wires to his car.
He put them back in the knife holder, closed the door, and waited for Ino and Shikamaru outside.
Sasuke saw head lights come up the drive way. Ino left her ignition on and walked over to Sasuke. Before she opened her mouth to speak, he shoved the disk in her face. "Don't say anything until you see this first. Forgive me for doing this, but I couldn't think of anything else."
Ino grabbed the disk hesitantly. She looked at it in her hands. She saw Sasuke put his hand on his face, pinching the top of his nose. Ino knew Sasuke, He recently just got done crying and didn't want anyone to see his face.
"How could this happen? It doesn't add up?"
Sasuke swallowed the lump in his throat. "I know. But it's the truth. I guess…we didn't really know Sakura that well after all. She used my brother. And I couldn't sit by and watch her use him for his money when he was so in love with her. If I had the guts I'd…"
"Wait. She was using him for his money?"
"Come on Ino think about it. She was born into poverty and once she got a hold of the millions, she changed into a fake, untrustworthy person. Then she came after me. That's when I drew the line. I'm so sorry for not telling you sooner."
Shikamaru grabbed Sasuke by the elbow. "Come on man. Lets get you home." He helped Sasuke in the car waiting for Ino.
"Ino let's go." She stood there glaring at the front door. She reached in her pocket grabbing her cell phone, she speed dialed Itachi As she walked back to the car.
….
The house phone rang in Sakura's ear, waking her up. She turned over but all her muscles were stiff and sore. She forced herself up and reached for the phone, loosing some of her balance as she gripped her head. She didn't reach it in time as she heard her's and Itachi's answering machine come on.
"Fuck. What the hell is going on with me this morning?" She sat on the floor gripping her head. It hurt so bad that she had tears sting the back of her eyes. Her whole body ached, making it nearly impossible for her to stand up. She looked down and saw that she was naked. "What the hell? Why am I naked? Ugh…" She got up and put on some underwear and a long T-Shirt.
She jumped when she heard Kian crying. She looked over at the clock and it read 5:30am Using the bed for support, she forced herself to walk over to her son.
"Hey, it's ok. Shhh." She picked him up, slowly making her way down the stairs. She saw spots of light blind her vision, as she opened the fridge. She put a bottle in the microwave heating it up. When the microwave chimed she walked over and took the bottle. Her legs felt wobbly, so she sat at the kitchen table feeding Kian instead of taking the risk walking down the stairs.
Another burst of pain shot throughout her body. She twitched and hunched over. Her stomach was flipping and she thought she was going to heave.
"Did I catch something? What happened last night? Sasuke came over and…" Her head hurt trying to remember. Then it dawned on her. Sasuke voiced out he loved her and forcefully kissed her.
"That fucking bastard!" Kian jumped from her sudden out burst. She looked down at him apologetically. "Sorry." She rubbed the top of his head.
Why can't I remember anything after that? I didn't know what to do when he kissed me. I was shocked and angry. I pushed him away then Kian started crying and I can't remember what happened after that. "Why can't I remember?"
"What did you drink too much last night? You fucking whore."
She jumped on hearing Ino's voice. She looked at her shocked. She had her arms crossed. Standing behind her was Tenten, and Hinata.
"Excuse me? And how the hell did you get in."
"Through the front door dumb ass. You left it unlocked."
No. she was positive she locked it once she let Sasuke in, unless when he left he forgot to lock it back up. Which reminded her, She had unfinished business with that jack ass.
"Where's Sasuke? I need to speak with him."
"Oh of course you do. Since when did you start loving Sasuke? In fact since when did you start using us? Was it from the beginning?"
"Ino I don't know what you're talking about." Her head throbbed harder trying to understand the situation. Now wasn't the time to be having a fight. And what started this in the first place?
"You know damn well what I'm talking about you bitch." She through her discarded clothing at her from last night.
"What the fuck Ino. What's with you being so pissed off and slandering my name all of a sudden. I never did anything to you."
"Bullshit. I saw the fucking disk. And just to let you know I notified Itachi and sent him a copy."
"Copy? Copy of what?"
"You fucking Sasuke."
Sakura stood up and put Kian in his swing. She turned around, still seeing flashes of light blur her vision. "Alright. I've had enough of this. Get to the freakin point."
"Stop acting like you don't know! You know what you did, and since all of us found out, your freaking out, acting like nothing ever happened."
Sakura braced herself on the table. "I've had enough. Get out of my house."
"Sorry sweetie but you're the one getting kicked out."
"What?"
"Itachi wanted us to tell you because now he can't stand to look at you. He said the next time he see's you It'll be in court."
"What are you…"
Ino pulled out the disk from her purse. "On this disk is you having sex with Sasuke. And by the looks of it you enjoyed yourself a little too much. Here let me refresh your memory." She walked over to the TV. Turning it on, she fed the disc through the blue ray player.
Sakura looked over the railing to the TV. Seeing images that she couldn't explain. Seeing things that made her heart drop to her stomach.
What? No this…this isn't true.
Ino turned and looked up at her. "Mind explaining this? Hard isn't it."
"N..no I didn't do that with him. He only kissed me but then I pushed…"
Ino marched up the stairs and slapped her hard on the cheek. Ino was crying with the hurt of betrayal. She grabbed Sakura by her shirt and shook her violently. "You fucking bitch! We loved you and trusted you! How could you do this?!"
Tenten came up to Ino and grabbed her arms. "Ino that's enough. She got what she deserved already." Tenten grabbed Ino, guiding her away from Sakura, she turned around and spat in her face.
Sakura was too confused and shock to wipe it away. She starred horrified at the ground. "No it didn't happen. It didn't."
"It did Sakura." Sasuke stood there at the entrance.
Sakura ran to him. "Please Sasuke tell them I didn't do this? This is a lie! Tell them that somebody created this to set me up. Somebody is trying to hurt me! Please tell them!" She was on her knees begging him.
Sasuke looked away from her. "Quit faking it. Your only doing more damage. We know that you faked everything from the beginning. Saying those sad stories of yours, then paying somebody to kidnap you, not returning till 5 years later. Just so you could be famous. I added truth serum to your water and you confessed everything to me."
"What?…No! you said you loved me, you were the one who forced yourself on me! Tell them the truth Sasuke! Please, please tell them!" Her whole face was wet from sweat and tears.
Shikamaru came up and grabbed Sakura away from him. "That's enough. I'm sick of watching you act like this." She shook her head, she looked behind him and saw the police that were guarding the gate come up to her.
"You have 24 hours to move. We also have a warrant to apprehend the child. He will be taken care of by Ino Nara until you prove your stabilized to support you and your child." He handed her the paperwork of evidence. But she didn't take it, she ran to Kian which by now was screaming because of the yelling. "No! please don't take my son away from me! I…I want to talk to Itachi."
"Itachi Uchiha was the one who issued the order Sakura." The police guard came up closer to her.
"What? He wouldn't do that? He loves me. He loves US!" She took a step back each time he took a step forward.
"Please hand over your son to Mrs. Nara. Your making this more difficult."
"No please! Don't take my baby away. Ino…Ino please don't let them do this." She looked over to Ino which turned her head away. "Hinata please! Teneten. Shikamaru? Sasuke?" Everyone just looked at her with disgust.
The Guard gave her the element of surprise and grabbed her arms. The other forcefully pulled Kian from her arms. His screams got louder as he was ripped away from his mother.
Sakura thrashed in his arms, still dizzy and aching from unknown reasons. "No! Kian! Kian! My Baby!"
Ino was crying as the police gave the child to her. She turned her back and jogged out of the house with Sakura's son.
"Ino! Ino! Please! Don't take my Baby!"
Hinata couldn't take it any longer as she ran out of the house. Tenten followed after her and the only person that was left standing was Sasuke.
She looked at him with blood shot eyes. "Sasuke please tell them the truth! My baby Sasuke!" He winced under her gaze and roughly turned around walking fast out the door. I'm so sorry Sakura.
"No!" She saw one by one as the cars sped away from her sight. She no longer fought the police as she let her body fall to the floor.
"No….haahahhaaah…ugha ha." Her spit made a puddle on the floor as she was left crying in defeat. The guard walked to the front door.
"Sakura. You have 24 hours to move. I'm sorry." Then he closed the door behind her. Leaving her alone in her misery.
She stayed like that sobbing and shaking. She turned her head and saw the images on the screen. She got up with anger and stomped down the stairs.
She press eject, grabbed the disc and broke it in half. Throwing the pieces in different directions. She stormed over to the house phone and punched in Itachi's cell. She heard ring after ring.
"Please leave your message for…Itachi…after the beep." BEEP
"Itachi it's me. They took Kian away from me and want me out of the house in 24 hours. Please you have to believe me I didn't do that Itachi. I would never cheat on you. I love you with all my heart. Sasuke forced himself on me but I pushed him away. Please, please Itachi you have to believe me. I would never throw away what I have with you. I want everything to go back to the way it was. Just the three of us. I love you Itachi. Please call me back. please. Don't…don't leave me." Her voice was squeaky. Not able to control her emotions. "I need you and so does Kian. Please help me. I love you." She pressed the end button. Sliding down the wall, hugging her knees.
What did I do? Why am I being punished for it. Please…
"Poor poor Sakura."
Her breath got hitched in her throat. "Who's there?" She stood on her feet, Putting her hand on the wall behind her.
"My…don't tell me you've forgotten me?"
She saw a dark figure round the corner. Her body was shaking from not just the pain but from fear now.
"No…" She dropped the phone on the ground. This couldn't be happening. This isn't possible.
"Yes…" The person walked closer to her, caressing her cheek.
"They said 24 hours right? Well, that's all I Need."
"Mitsune…"
