Frozen Time!
Chapter 21: Is this the beginning of something new or the ending of something old? Or maybe even both?
Last time: Sakura had a flashback and got back her money her parents had left behind from Tsunade-sama, the hokage from the Konoha village. Kakashi also told her he thought their dream was stupid and that they should be friends, although he all lied it, Sakura ran off to Sasuke and kissed him.
When bad things happen the first thing anybody asks himself is why? 'Why does this happen to me?' 'Why doesn't this happen to anybody else?' Self-pity takes over rational thinking and controls the mind. Life can be such a bitch, but we humans should learn to live with it, or even more bad things might happen, things we may all regret…
His pupils increased about 3 times their normal size. She nibbled a bit more and stuck her tongue in his ear tickling him with every move the worm-like thing made.
She pulled it out again whispering with the same voice"So, what do you think about it? I know you want this" she continued her munching
Sasuke finally landed back in reality and pulled the young women off him a bit.
"As much as I like to give in to this, I think you will regret it tomorrow, so lets just talk okay" it was more of an order than a question, but she didn't ran away
He closed the door and walked her to his living room
"Just sit down… you want something to drink" he gestured to the sofa in the middle of the room, she just nodded and sat down
"I'll get you some tea" he walked out the room and she tried as hard as she could to make the tears stop flowing, although it didn't help at all.
After a little while he came back, holding two cups of tea.
"Here…" he gave her one cup and sat next to his friend
"So… now tell me what happened" he said carefully
"H-He-he… he-e… sa-sa-said th-that… he-e-ee… d-d-ddd-din-n-'t…" she managed to get out between her sobs
"Calm down first, it's going to be alright" he pulled a consulting arm around her, which she pushed off her furious
"IT'S NOT GOING TO BE ALRIGHT! HE SAID HE DIDN'T LOVED ME, HE SAID THAT HE THOUGHT THE DREAM WAS JUST SOMETHING SILLY THAT WE BOTH SHOULD JUST FORGET" at this point she had let her tea have fallen to the ground and had begun an attack of rapid strikes against Sasuke's chest who was surprised by these actions and had therefor also let his tea fallen to the ground
"IT'S NOT FAIR! HE DOESN'T LOVE ME! HE DOESN'T LOVE ME! HE DOESN'T LOVE ME" she was still hitting Sasuke's chest
"Sakura, please get a hold of yourself" he yelled in desperation as he caught both her hands in his own
"Please…" he whispered as she hung forth onto his just beaten chest sniffing and sobbing like no tomorrow
He held and there was a comforting silence filled with sniffs and sobs
"It's okay Sakura" he said while stroking her back with one arm holding her tied with the other, as Sakura's own arms were holding him tied now too, not hitting him, not punching him, Sasuke thought it felt good. He already figured out the person she was talking about was Kakashi: How could you? How could someone even say no to her? How could someone ever deny themselves this pleasure? The pleasure this young woman brings? Has he finally gone mad? Sasuke felt a strong emotion emerge; anger. How could he!
Without his own knowledge his eyes formed into his sharingan What is he thinking?
The three dots in his eyes were spinning like crazy, but then he saw the green soaked eyes of Sakura looking shocked at him
"…S-Sasuke-k-kun…" she whispered in a gasp. His eyes were formed in sharingan, his hear was hovering a bit in the gusts of his chakra that was now flushing furious through his veins, overflowing at the surface of his skin which created a sort blue burning flame around him and every muscle in his body had tensed up.
"…P-Please… D-d-don't h-hurt hi-im…" she managed to squeak out
"…I…" his sharingan turned black and the blue flame around him turned slowly smaller until it was gone
"…Please Sasuke, promise me you won't hurt him cause of this…"
"…I…I…promise…" he looked down defeated
"Thank you…"she hugged him
After a little while, when Sakura still hadn't moved Sasuke was too curious to just let her lie
"Sakura" he whispered, no response
"Sakura" he whispered a bit louder, still no response and then he lifted her head a little and looked at her
She had her eyes closed and her tears were dried up she looks so peaceful, not like she was just a little while ago anger flamed up in him again no, I promised
He pulled her in his arm and stood up, in a poof he stood in her bedroom.
He laid her down in her bed, pulled the blankets over her and placed a little kiss on her forehead.
After that he disappeared again and began his quest for Kakashi.
He first searched for Kakashi at his apartment, but he found it only to be empty.
He then ran through the village, people looking up from what they were doing when he ran by. When the sun started to set and the twilight overcame the bright day, he had looked through the whole village, without any progress, though.
The dark blue night came fast and the birds stopped their singing and got ready to sleep the night away.
The only place Sasuke hadn't been was the training grounds so that was were he went next.
After an hour of searching he dropped down against a tree, Damn that Kakashi! Where the hell is he!
After a minute or so he began to feel the exhaustion from all what had happened and of from course his quest for Kakashi, soon he began to feel drowsy guess I better go home to sleep some and continue my search tomorrow he thought
He got up and began to walk home, but when he walked over the red bridge, their former meeting place, he saw a familiar looking shadow up upon the stakes above the bridge.
"Kakashi…" he said as his anger started raising again
"What is it Sasuke, I don't feel like talking right now" he said quiet
"DON'T FEEL LIKE TALKING! WELL IF IT WAS UP TO ME YOU'D ALREADY BE LYING IN A HOSPITAL BED RIGHT NOW" he shouted
Kakashi turned around confused "What the hell are you talking about"
"I'M TALKING ABOUT REFUSING THE MOST GORGEOUS AND GENTLE WOMAN THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN" he yelled with anger flaming in his eyes
"What do you mean? I don't get it, if this is about Saku…" he was cut off
"DAMN RIGHT IT'S ABOUT SAKURA! SHE LOVES YOU SO MUCH AND THAN YOU JUST DUMP HER LIKE SHE MEANS NOTHING TO YOU! YOU COULD HAVE AT LEAST SAID THAT YOU LIKED THE DREAM, BUT DIDN'T WANT IT TO CONTINUE AND…
"WAIT" Kakashi cut him off and looked oddly desperate "What do you mean 'she loves you so much'? I saw the both of you yesterday! That's why I said I didn't wanted anything with her, I thought the two of you were together"
"No, no I'm not together with Sakura, I kissed her since I hadn't seen you and Sakura much together so I thought that she had turned you down. But you mean to tell me you do still love her"
"Of course, as you said how could I refuse the most gorgeous and gentle woman the world has known" he smiled and jumped down next to his friend
Sasuke looked away and walked up to the fence of the bridge
"I'm sorry…"
"No I'm the one who should be sorry, you deserve her more than I do"
"Your a bad liar, you've always been, you know that" they laughed "I don't think anyone could tell us who's better, but she wants you"
"You sure you're okay with that"
"Of course, I always wish you both the best, so for you two to be together is one of the best things I could wish, but hey, were are you waiting for? Do you rather listen to me than to make up with Sakura" Kakashi smiled "Your right" and with that he left in a poof
The doorbell rang. Sakura had just wakened up to find herself in her own bed and she decided she could stay in it for a little while more. I'm not home! She thought
She absolutely didn't wanted company right now, she just wanted to drown in her own self-pity, but she didn't got he chance, not without disturbance at least.
"Sakura I know your home" a voice called, Kakashi's voice
"Sakura, open the door or I'll force it open" he demanded, but with softness in his voice
Seconds later she furious pulled the door open
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WA…" she didn't got the chance to finish her sentence cause a strong mouth was pressed on hers, carefully kissing her
"Kakashi…" she whispered, closed her eyes and leaned in the kiss
When Kakashi finally broke free, he laid his forehead on hers, pulled his hands up to her face, stroke some lost locks of hair away and looked sweetly at her.
"Kakashi why…" she looked confused as he laid a finger on her soft lips
"Shhh… Sasuke explained to me the kiss you both shared was not something you both wanted. I first thought it was, that's why I lied… I really treasure the dream we shared and I don't want to lose you over something as a stupid misunderstanding, cause… I love you…" they had locked eyes, although Kakashi's left eye was still covered
"…" Sakura wanted to say something but nothing came out her mouth
Her hands reached up to Kakashi's cheeks and they stoke them softy, exploring every inch of his face
Slowly her face crawled closer up to his and only inches away she stopped "I love you too" and they kissed; long, gentle, sweet and hungry, but still tenderly and sensitive
Sakura walked back still kissing while Kakashi followed her and he closed the front door with a kick.
A shadow stood on a roof of the Konoha village as he had just watched the making up of two people he really cared about, Guess this was the best thing to do, now they're both happy. I probably have a little trouble seeing them like that all the time, but there is no other way. I think I'm not meant to have a mate…. It's obvious fate wants the Uchiha clan to disappear and without any heir it certainly will… the figure smiled
"You've fought so hard against fate already, so why stop fighting now… Sasuke? You may have lost Sakura, but there are millions of women more you know" a voice behind him said wisely and comforting
It surprised him a bit, he didn't knew he had talked aloud "I know, thanks…Naruto…"
