Chapter 21.

Broken Toy.

'Right.'-he produced, pushed himself up and rolled to the side.

I had to count to ten to suppress the urge to strangle him and only when I was sure that I wouldn't emit fire did I speak to him.

'Right? What's right?'

He smiled in an all knowing, holier than thou way that pissed me off so much.

'Just right.'

'I feel mentally raped and that's all you have to say?!'-I screamed, voice breaking with hysterical notes. This only induced laughter and somehow didn't calm me at all. I glared at him, no point in arguing with insanity. He laughed again, obviously pleased at his seemingly new found ability to torment and reached over, pulling me into his embrace.

'We could always change that to physically.'-he purred into my ear, causing me to shiver and curse the existence that is Hatake Kakashi for being so schizophrenic.

'I think you killed the sex mood only seconds ago…'-I pointed out, still angry at the intrusive, albeit correct deduction of the older man. He sighed heavily and buried his face in my hair, inhaling my scent.

'Nicotine…'-he whispered. It wasn't as though the word represented anything special, only one of the worst killers of man but despite the horrid association with the millions of deaths linked to the much favoured pass times of millions of others but to him it represented a storm of emotions.

Nostalgia and safety, something feral, almost sexual, something so indescribable and intoxicating.

'You dated Umino…'

He pulled away from me, an expression of mock hurt.

'Now you've defiantly killed the sex mood.'-he said while pouting.

I laughed. The tension was gone; ease rolling through my body as I finally relaxed into the softness of the bed.

'Well I was young and naïve.'-he retorted.-'In my defence, he is pretty good looking.'

I rolled my eyes.

'I didn't say he was disgusting-'

'Yes you did! You said ew!'-he bounced back, exited like a kid.

'It's called joking, you know what that is?'-I teased back.-'It just didn't seem like…I just didn't figure him to be your type.'

'And what would be my type?'-he challenged.

I pretended to think it over.

'Underage.'

His expression was priceless. I jumped up and avoided him as he plunged at me, laughing. He grabbed one of my feet and pulled causing me to loose balance and fall, hands flailing about as I tried to grab on to safety.

'That your revenge for my kid remarks?'

He stood up and scooped me into his hold without giving me a chance to regain my breath, grinning at me like a loon.

'What?'-I asked, unsure of his intentions.

His expression broke. For a split second it seemed like he was lost, out of his element, standing there like a child holding a broken toy, not knowing what to do.

'I don't know what to do.'

'How about this one?'-I asked while putting down the remote control.

'I don't like this, it became repetitive and commercial after series five…'-he whined. By this he was of course talking about the show on the channel, the acclaimed 24, acclaimed for what I have no idea. I rolled my eyes and pressed on forward again. The next channel turned out to be CNN, he screwed up his face as an indication and I pressed the button, hoping to God that it would just brake.

Now I'm not a firm believer in God, despite my background and little gift but miracles are all go in my little society and this was a situation that called and received and answer.

The remote wouldn't budge channels and we were stuck with a cartoon channel that was probably only aired in England, hence this being the given location and the fact that it was for kids below the age of three seemed to drive the point home with my companion who roared in agitation and swept me away to the movies, telling me along the way that the cost of repair for the remote would be billed to the Uchiha mansion.

That was when I told him that the Uchiha's didn't own a mansion. Not in Europe anyway.

'Our therapy s moving along too slowly.'

I looked up at him, unable to answer due to all the popcorn stuffed in my mouth. He rolled his eyes and mimicked for me to hurry up. I pretended like I had no idea what he was talking about and peacefully chewed on my speech obstructing food.

'Hm, Sasuke?'

'What?'-I asked, having finally swallowed and taken a sip of coke.

'What are you to me?'

I nearly spat out my drink as one would in an anime show.

'The million dollar question…'

He laughed.

'I'm serious.'

My turn to laugh.

'I don't know…'-I extended.

'Then…'

My ears were burning, I suddenly felt nervous.

Then what?

'Then I think-'

An interruption. A loud booming sound from the screen and the dimming of lights. He looked at me apologetically but didn't offer to finish his sentence.

Then what?

TBC

I think Sasuke is the only one who doesn't realise 'then what?' but at the same time you guys will understand why he wants the confirmation, right? Like when you want to believe it but then with all the crap around you, you don't want to be burned again if it's something else…I think the title is kind of a hint...

So I have my A Level mocks in two days, thank God it's only two, me having already done my Art mock and requiring no mock for Russian, fluent!

But yeah, I think I might do well…I am spurred on by the hope of showing up the guy who I like and he is in both my classes, taking 2 out of 3 subjects that I do.

Today he finally admitted my genius so I made up a new victory dance in my head while smiling from ear to ear. I am a freak, shoot me for it.

But that is why I am slightly happy, he's too dense for any progress beyond smiling at me so this is like…over the moon!

But I apologise for the short chapter, I just thought I'd update something reasonably cute and progressive in order to support the fact that I won't be updating till at least Wednesday next week because of the needed revision and other things.

I feel degraded somehow haha, I was describing this story to someone today, trying to explain Sasuke's character and the person, after I explained up to around this chapter in the progress within his persona said 'I guess all writers do base their main characters on themselves. Apart from being very open, you are exactly like the character.'

Personally I think Sasuke's personality is largely made up of the fact that he stays closed but maybe I'm wrong?

Omg, THANK YOU GUYS FOR WONDERFUL REVIEWS! Review again!

You don't understand how happy it makes me what you review and tell me what you liked and thought and la and maybe something about your life…that's a little stalker…ish lol but I like it when I get long reviews telling me stuff like 'omg that part was cool and I know what you mean by hard, blah blah in my life and lol I think you should update soon!'

Or something like that!

The worst part is, I think my authors note is longer than the chapter itself haha…
