Love In Konoha High School
Chapter 21 Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?
Sasuke woke up and walked to the kitchen. Itachi was drinking coffee when Sasuke caught his eye.
"Good Morning Sasuke." Itachi said yawning.
"Good Morning."
"How's Sai?"
"He doesn't want to get up out of bed. It's our graduation day, how could Madara leave before his big day?"
Itachi just sighed. "I love Madara but sometimes I just don't understand him."
Then they heard Sai screaming. Sasuke and Itachi ran to the room and saw Sai panting heavily.
"Sai, are you ok?" Sasuke said running to his aid.
"It's ok. I just had a nightmare."
"Do you want me to get you some water?"
Sai shook his head and Sasuke went to the kitchen. Sasuke opened the fridge and found that there was no water. He got his sweater and his keys.
"Itachi, I'll be back. I have to go the store." Sasuke said and left the apartment.
Itachi sat next to Sai on the bed.
"Are you planning to go to your graduation today?" Itachi asked.
Sai shook his head.
"Why not? This is your life and you're going to sit on your ass!"
"What did I do to Madara? Does he really hate me that much to leave?"
Itachi shook his head. "No, he doesn't. He really loves you from the bottom of his heart."
Madara looked around at the lit up Times Square.
"I made it and it's only….11:00." He said sighing. Madara started to walk when a girl bumped into him.
"Sorry." She said and continued to walk.
Madara picked up her wallet that she dropped.
"Miss-"He said before realizing that she was already gone.
Madara opened the wallet and took out her driver's license.
"Emily Graham." He said to himself.
She was a nurse at New York Presbyterian Hospital. The girl then passed by him again and Madara stopped her.
"Excuse me, Emily is it? You dropped your wallet." Madara said giving it back to her.
"Thank you Mr….."
"You can call me Madara." He said.
"Madara, what a nice name. Thank you." She turned around but before she could walk away she went back to Madara.
"Hey, do you have anything to do now?"
Madara looked at his watch. "Actually I don't."
"Great would you like to go to dinner, if it's ok with you."
"Dinner? Isn't it a little late to be eating?"
Emily laughed. "Madara this is the city that never sleeps. You could go shopping at 3 a.m. if you could."
Madara shook his head. "Fine, let's go eat dinner."
Emily and Madara arrived at the restaurant and got a table. Since it was a little later not much people were at the restaurant.
"So where did you come from?" Emily said taking a sip from her water.
"I just came from Japan."
"Ooo, Japan. What made you come here to the heart of the city."
"I…actually I just left a lover of mine. It was hard because I didn't tell him where I was headed."
"So, you're gay?" she asked.
"No, I'm actually bisexual."
"I see. So why did you decide to leave him behind?"
"He has to find himself first and I have to get out of the picture to make it easier on him."
"Do you want to hear my honest opinion?" Emily asked.
Madara nodded his head.
"I think you made a huge mistake. You just left a guy who you really liked so he could find himself. Who knows what he's thinking."
Madara looked at her. He leaned over to her and kissed her on the lips.
Emily just looked at him and he smiled.
"Thank you for the great advice but I think I'll stay here for a while."
Tenten started to straighten her hair when Neji walked into the room.
"Hey Neji, are you ready for our graduation?" she said.
"Yeah. I can't wait, can you believe it? In a couple of hours you and me are going to become a family."
Tenten smiled as Neji kissed her on her head.
"So are you going to get your hair done today?" Tenten asked.
"I don't know. Should I get it done because I need to wash it."
"Go to the salon, I'll pay for it if you really want me to."
Neji laughed. "No, it's ok. I guess I should get going by now."
"Hey." Tenten said to him. Neji turned around and Tenten kissed him on the lips. "Don't stay out for too long." She said with a smile. Neji smiled back and exited the room.
Tenten sat back down in front of her vanity and continued to fix her hair.
"I should go pay Sai a visit." She said to herself.
"Come on Sai, you have to get out of bed." Sasuke said pulling Sai's wrist.
Sai just groaned as Sasuke continued to pull him. Tenten then entered the room.
"Sai, what's going on? Why are you still in bed?"
"Tenten? How did you get in here?" Sai asked.
"Itachi let me in." Tenten sat next to Sai and put her hand on his shoulder. "What's going on Sai? You're graduating today and you still haven't gotten ready."
"What's the point of graduating if Madara's not going to be there?"
"Come on, don't say that. I'm sure Madara can make it."
"How? He left half-way across the world this morning." Sai then cried into his pillow.
Tenten looked at Sasuke in shock. "Is it true? Did Madara leave?" she asked.
Sasuke nodded his head and Tenten sighed.
"Listen Sai, I know what Madara did was VERY SHITTY, but what can you do? You can't just stay here all day feeling sorry for yourself."
"Yes I can." Sai said into the pillow.
"Sai! I know it's hard but you can't change the past. Madara's gone what else can you do? You can't bring him back."
Sai lifted his head from his pillow and looked at Tenten.
"How about this. Why don't you take your mind off of Madara by joining me, Neji Temari and Shikamaru by going to Hawaii."
"I don't know Tenten, a lot is on my mind to be thinking about vacation."
Tenten just grabbed Sai's wrist and got him out of bed
"Get ready. Me you and Neji are going to eat lunch before our graduation."
Sai just looked at her.
"Chop! Chop!" Tenten said clapping her hands.
Sai picked up his towel and went to the bathroom.
"Thank you Tenten." Sasuke said to her.
Tenten nodded her head. "It's no problem. Sai's my friend too and to see him in this condition breaks my heart." Tenten stood up from the bed and walked out of the room.
"Please tell Sai to meet me at the BBQ Restaurant. I'd appreciate it if he came but if he decides to not go, I'll understand."
Tenten bid her farewell to Itachi and left the apartment. Tenten exited the building and looked up to the sky.
"Please Madara, don't hurt him" she said to herself.
Sai exited the bathroom and went into his room.
"Where did Tenten go?" he asked.
"She had to do something but she said that she would appreciate it if you met her at BBQ Restaurant."
"Ok." Sai said.
Sai turned around and Sasuke put his head and hands on Sai's back.
"Please Sai, don't hurt yourself. I still love you."
Sai just stayed where he was and smiled. Sai turned around and Sasuke hugged him.
A tear rolled down Sai's face as he hugged Sasuke back. "I'll be fine Sasuke, because I have friends who love me."
Itachi just stood at the doorway and looked down.
Emily woke up and saw herself naked in a hotel room.
"I wonder where Madara went?" she asked herself. She got up and put the quilt around herself. She looked on the desk and found a note.
"Went to the supermarket." It said
"Must be from Madara." She said to herself. She pressed the note to her chest. Then Madara's cell phone rang.
"Madara left his phone?" she said. She went to the side table and saw that the caller ID said 'Sai'
Meanwhile, Sai was biting his nails awaiting Madara to pick up the phone. Emily picked up the phone and Sai answered in excitement.
"Madara!" he said.
"I'm sorry but who is this?" Emily said.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm looking for Madara Uchiha, and who might you be?"
"I'm a friend of Madara's, Emily."
"Ok, just please tell him to call me back because I have something really important to tell him.
"Whatever you have to say to him you can say to me." Emily said with an attitude.
"Excuse me?" Sai said.
"You heard me. What do you have to tell him? You can say it to me so I can spare him the collect calls."
Sai scoffed.
"What are you laughing about?" Emily asked in rage.
"I don't need to tell you anything what me and Madara have is none of your business!"
Then it came back to her.
"I….actually I just left a lover of mine. It's hard because I didn't tell him I was leaving."
"So you must be that lover that Madara told me about." Emily said.
"Madara told you about me?"
"Yea, he did. I'm sorry but Madara's not going back."
Sai was shocked at what he heard.
"He wants to stay in New York and he wants to stay with me so you can't say anything to bring him back." Emily was about to hang up.
"Just you wait!" Sai yelled.
Emily put the phone back to her ear.
"I don't give a damn who the fuck you are but Madara's coming back to Japan because he promised me that he was going to marry me!"
Emily scoffed. "Don't tell me you actually believed him? Don't make me laugh! Madara doesn't love you and you don't love him back!"
Each and every word tore through Sai.
"Promises…..are meant to be broken." She said and then dropped the phone in a glass of water.
Tears rolled down Sai's face as the connection broke. Neji came over to and put his hand on Sai's shoulder.
"Hey Sai, are you ok?" He asked.
Sai just turned around and hugged Neji and cried into his chest.
"Shh, it's ok. I'm here for you, we're all here for you." Neji said whispering and petting Sai's hair.
Sai just continued to cry.
Madara was outside of the door and heard everything. He slid down and put his hands in his hair.
"Is she right? Do we not love each other? No, that can't be true." He said in his mind.
Emily then came out and saw Madara.
"Oh Madara, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you come in?" she said with a smile.
Madara stood up and entered the room. He sat on the desk as Emily began to unpack the groceries.
"Sai called. I wish you could call him back but I accidentally dropped your phone in water."
"I'll call him."
Madara went to the hotel phone and dialed Sai's number. Emily then walked over to Madara.
"Why are you calling him? Don't you want to get your mind off of him?"
"Hello?" Sai said as his voice cracked.
"Sai."
Sai stayed silent. "Madara?" he said slowly.
"Yea, it's me. Why did you call?"
Sasuke walked over and took the phone from Sai. "You just missed our graduation! How does it feel to be the biggest douchebag?"
Madara widened his eyes in shock.
"How could you do this to Sai? He's a mess without you!"
"I'm….so sorry."
Sasuke began to cry. "Fuck you Madara." Sasuke then hung up.
Madara just held on the phone and heard the dial tone.
"What have I done?" he said.
"You haven't done anything. You're just enjoying your life that's all.
"I just missed Sai's graduation from High School!"
"It's just high school Madara." Emily said putting her hand on Madara's shoulder.
He just pushed it away and covered his face with his hands.
"Are you crying?" she asked.
"I promised Sai that I would be there. I promised him that all the memories he wanted I was going to be there and I fucked it up!"
Emily hugged Madara. "Please Madara, don't beat yourself up like this. It killing me."
Madara continued to cry.
Sasuke wiped the tears from his eyes.
"Are you ok Sasuke?" Itachi asked.
Sasuke sighed deeply. "I'm fine. It's just a lot to take in that's all."
Sasuke looked over and saw Sai still crying on Neji's shoulder.
"Somehow I feel like it's my fault." Sasuke said to Itachi.
"How could it be your fault? Both of us didn't know that Madara was just going to leave us."
"It just kills me to see Sai so broken up like this."
"I know it does. I feel the same way."
Sai separated from Neji and thanked him. Then he walked over to Sasuke and Itachi.
"We can leave now guys." Sai said to them.
"Are you sure? Don't you want to hang out more?" Itachi asked.
Sai just shook his head.
When they arrived at the apartment Sai went straight to his room and closed the door.
"I think you should go talk to him." Itachi said to Sasuke.
Sasuke nodded and went to the room. Sasuke knocked and slowly opened the door.
"Sai are you ok?"
"I'm fine Sasuke, don't worry about it."
Sasuke entered the room and sat down on Sai's bed.
"I wish I could bring Madara back, but I can't." Sasuke said.
"Even if you wanted to, Emily said that Madara's going to stay in New York"
"Emily? Who the hell is that?"
"It's a girl that Madara's having an affair with."
Sasuke then was struck by shock. "You can't be serious."
Sai just nodded his head. "I didn't think that he would do something like that but apparently he did. I just don't know what to do anymore."
Sasuke leaned into Sai and kissed him. Sai separated from him and looked at him.
"Sai…." Sasuke said and kissed him again.
Sai kissed him back and Sasuke laid him on the bed. Sasuke removed Sai's shirt and Sai unbuttoned Sasuke's. Then Sasuke began to kiss Sai's neck.
"Ahh." Sai moaned. Sasuke continued to kiss and bite Sai's neck. Then he slowly licked Sai's neck.
"Madara!" Sai moaned. Sasuke stopped in shock as Sai covered his mouth.
"Sasuke, I'm so sorry." Sai said.
Sasuke just got off of Sai and smiled. "It's ok. I shouldn't have forced you to do that."
Sasuke left the room and Sai just touched his neck.
Sasuke entered the kitchen and saw Itachi sipping on some tea.
"Well, what happened?" Itachi asked.
"I tried to have sex with Sai and he called me Madara."
Itachi looked at him. "Do you think this is a sign?" he asked.
"I think so. Sai said that he wasn't sure if he loved Madara but I think his heart gave him an answer."
"I'm going to call Madara." Itachi said putting the cup down.
To Be Continued…..
Summer's here and everyone is getting prepared. Tenten gives birth. Itachi calls Madara. Sai makes a life changing decision.
