All right, it's been a while. Haha. Wohoo! This is the end! For the sake of the last chapter please review so that for you all know that this is the end! I was planning on updating sooner but I never really found the time, plus I was reading the book called 'Vampire Academy' and oh my goodness gracious. I am so hooked.
But Naruto will always be my number one. Haha! Okay, I feel that I should tell you that during the WHOLE MONTH OF MARCH I am not going to be in the United Stated because I'm taking a trip to the Philippines and so yeah. I'm planning on making another story which is a bad idea. I can't help it though!
Okay, let's get this on chapter on its way!
It looked like it hurt a lot to say the least. Dylan's fist was clenched tightly as his arm was brought back from Sakura's cheek. Her hand gripped her slightly swollen cheek as small tears slowly dropped down. Sasuke quickly ran over to Sakura, having her sit down on the couch once again he turned to face the man who punched her, "Are you insane?! Get the fuck out of here!"
"She brainwashed you! Damn, Sasuke I love you!"
Sasuke glared at him intensely, "Leave." When Dylan finally gave up he turned his back sharply and started marching his way out the door, "Hey Dylan." Sasuke was suddenly face to face with Dylan and gave a sharp punch towards his gut, then he took him by his costume shirt and threw him out the door. As much as Sakura wanted to laugh at the man, she continued to cry.
The pain was intense and it hurt terribly. Sure she was punched before but at the time she kept her gaurd up and Sakura thought that Dylan was a weak asshole who could not punch for shit. It was a bad idea to underestimate someone, that was for sure. The raven haired man quickly took her in his arms and hugged her tightly, "Are you all right?" he whispered.
All she did was shake her head. Honestly, it wasn't that pain that was making her cry although it was a majority of it. It was the fact that Sakura actually thought of Dylan's words. Sakura should have left him a while back, right? All those ditching and cursing and fights would be all gone but that wasn't the tight friendship they had, their bond was tighter then anything in the world.
More then friends,
Yet, at the moment they were less than lovers. As much as she despised that fact. Sakura was tough but getting hit and saying hurtful words towards her well, it'll get to her and then you'll have a sobbing Sakura Haruno. Haruno women were always strong emotionally but that special gene didn't really transfer to Sakura.
"Sakura, talk to me." his hand ran through her pink locks lovingly showing affection. She refused and although her sobs lessened she felt to ashamed and embarrassed to actually mutter a word. She sat there just staring at the fabric of the carpet Sasuke had under the coffee table. Sasuke's strong hand laid itself on her shoulder and he pulled slowly away from her figure, "I'm going to call Naruto and them to come back."
Her head shook and refused to let him move away, "It's late." she whispered. In fact it was it was turning twelve and shock consumed him as he noticed how much time had passed. Nevertheless, Sasuke sat down next to her and hugged her silently until she finally fell asleep. Soon after, he fell asleep as well sitting right next to her.
The next morning wasn't all that pleasant either. Sakura's neck and back were all cramped up and it was - to say the least - uncomfortable. Although, there was also a plus side to the situation, she woke with Sasuke's head on her shoulder. Looking down, she noticed that she still wore her costume.
Her little outfit did not really help at the moment since her bright white underwear was practically flashing itself to the world. Blushing, she fixed her outfit and went to the bathroom to use that mouthwash Sasuke always had around the house. Since the fact that she wasn't really intended on sleeping over, she might as well help lessen the morning breath.
After gurgling - several times - she walked across the hall to Sasuke's room to snatch a pair of clean sweats, a shirt, and a nice warm hoodie. Anything was better then being in a short seductive outfit. Looking at herself in the bathroom mirror she noticed a big purple bruise starting to form on the cheek Dylan punched her. After changing, she walked down the stairway to find that Sasuke changed his position, his head was thrown back against the couch while his body was sitting up straight. His eyes were closed and his breaths were still shallow giving away that he was still in a deep sleep.
"It isn't worth the risk, Sakura. Stop!" she scolded herself for the thoughts and ideas running through her mind. Her green gems stared at his relaxed face and stepped closer, closer until she was about two inches from his face. "Maybe it couldn't hurt..." she said to herself as she leaned down. Sakura pressed her lips against his for a second.
But instantly pulled back as he started to stirr. "Now you've done it!" she said harshly. Thinking quickly, she began poking his cheek only to wake him up further.
"Sakura?" he asked tiredly, yesterdays events came and flooded his mind, "Sakura! Are you all right?"
"I'm fine! I'm just dandy!" she gave him a smile. Sakura hoped that he didn't even think about that stolen kiss. Cause if Sasuke did then it would be so awkward just to be in the same room with him.
"I see you've taken some of my belongings," he said passing her a plate of pancakes with strawberries since Sasuke knew that it was her absolute favorite fruit. Next to kiwi's of course.
Cutting a fork full of the pancakes that were drenched in syrup Sakura smiled at him kindly, "Well of course! I don't really wanna go walking around wearing my Halloween costume! I mean what would the neighbors think, hmm?"
"Just so you know, you're really lucky we've known each other for a long time or else you would have to be walking home in that vampire outfit of yours." he smirked at the thought, "How're you feeling? You know, from what happened the other night." Sakura's chewing began to slow as she placed her fork down and looked up into Sasuke's eyes.
Thinking deeply the woman finally answered honestly, "At first, it really hurt. But now, after this good breakfast it's getting better and better! Thank you by the way, for comforting me and stuff. For a second there I though you were going to go back to Dylan like all those times before. So it just surprised me."
Quickly glancing at the clock it was nearing twelve thirty. Sighing, she stood up slowly, "I should get going.."
"I'll walk you," he offered standing up.
Sakura shook her pink locks refusing his offer, "Thanks for everything but I just wanna walk alone for a while. Get my head cleared." Sakura headed out towards the door and Sasuke walked with her out, "I'll give you your clothes back like in two hours. I'm coming back to finish that breakfast so don't throw it away!" she joked.
"Sure thing, tubby." he called out to her.
"You're talking about Ino!!" she screamed before disappearing off into the morning sun.
The pink haired woman hoped desperately that Sasuke didn't notice or had a clue about her kissing him while he was asleep. She paced around her house going from the hallway, to her room, the living room, and all around the kitchen. Without a second thought she picked up her cell phone and dialed 'tubbies' number.
By tubby she means Ino Yamanaka.
"Hello, Ino."
"What up Forehead? You sound stressed and tired. Did you just get home? Oh my! Do not tell me that you and Sasuke did the naughty last night!! Wow! But I guess it was bound to happen you guys have known each other since forever. How was it when we all left anyway?"
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about... Uhm.." Sakura had a hard time coming clean so she nibbled on her bottom lip after a few seconds she shut her eyes and let it out. "I stole a kiss from Sasuke this morning!"
"No friggin' way!!! Okay, first things first! I need the 3 W's please! When, where, and why!"
"This morning, I just said that at his house and because I couldn't help myself! He was sleeping on the couch with me after Dylan punched me - "
"Hold on! Punched you!??!" Sakura had to pull the electric device from her ear since it was way to loud when she screamed, "He is so going to get a little visit from me and the rest of the girls. Sorry, continue."
"Anyway, he punched me on the cheek - which by the way I have a bruise on - and Sasuke comforted me. Nothing big at first but then I changed into something other then that costume of mine. Shit! God, I forgot I left it at his house. Damn maybe I should get it right now.."
"Sakura! Focus! You're telling me a story right now forget the outfit!"
"Oops, anyway he looked so cute and so peaceful so I kissed him. Sasuke stared to wake up so I just poked him on his cheek so he wouldn't think that I actually kissed him. It was such a mistake and well! A little help here please!"
"I'm on my way over to your house, we'll go get some ice cream take a walk and then we'll just hang out and you'll get to rant your heart out. That way I could buy you a super sexy outfit for the next time you see him!"
"Uhm. C'mon Ino! I'm not in the mood to go shopping although the ice cream does sound good right now.. Nevermind, I just want to lie down and hope that Sasuke never realizes that I actually stole a kiss from him."
"Goody, it's settled. Go and get dressed in that one white floral dress you have."
"Are you insane? It is November and it is freezing outside!"
"Nice point. You know what? Just get changed in a pair of jeans and a shirt. I'm around the corner, oh and please hurry up. See ya soon. Muah."
"All right.."
"Don't know man, I could swear that she kissed me..." said Sasuke into the receiver of his phone. He knew that Sakura kissed her because well just because he had felt something warm upon his lips. It wouldn't be her finger that she was trying to wake him up with because well, who does that?! So here is Sasuke at the moment discussing this matter with Neji. He knew that if he went to the dope well everything will just get out of control. And with Shikamaru... The Nara would probably just fall asleep while Sasuke was explaining everthing.
And he wouldn't even dare to think about calling one of the girls. All were to close to Sakura and they would probably tell her the second he hung up. Although, Neji wasn't really helping with the fact either. He just replied with a yes or no at the appropriate times and didn't really give any advice.
"Sorry Sasuke, I have to go. Hinata's father is making me drive Hinata to Sakura's house. I have no idea why but I'll ask Hinata about it later."
"All right then."
After they both hung up Sasuke went to go take a shower.
"And how do you feel about that?" asked Ino while she was seated on Sakura's comfortable couch in her living room. She had come five minutes ago and now every girl that was part of the gang was going to come over Sakura's house to do what they do best, give advice, comfort, and eat all of her food.
"What're you some kind of therapst now?" asked Sakura with a smile stretching upon her lips.
"Sorta, maybe I should stick with the flower business instead."
"I think you should," said Sakura laughing, "I kind of feel guilty about it all. Some part of me wants to tell him that I kissed him and that I love him a lot but I am such a little wimp that I can not find myself to do so."
"How much do you love him?"
"Like you don't know! You've seen me cry over him and everything and when I'm with him I feel complete and like nothing bad is happening in the world. Even though there is."
"Hun, that is true love."
"You think so?"
"I know so, just wait until the rest of the girls come over."
Sasuke stepped out of the shadow and looked at his phone. There was one new voice message. Oddly, it was also from Ino. You have one new message. November 1. One - thirty pm. the reciever fed him information before he heard Ino and Sakura's voice on the other line. "I should stick with the flower business instead." he heard Ino's voice followed by Sakura's.
"I think you should, I kind of feel guily about it all. Some part of me wants to tell him that I ksised him and that I love him a lot but I am such a wimp that I can't find myself to do so.."
That was all that he needed to know so he hung up and sent Ino a little text message.
"Maybe you should go talk to him about it." advised Temari. Tenten and Hinata nodded while they saw Ino texting on her phone, "What the hell Ino, you're texting and Sakura dear, is having a love crisis! Insane in the membrane!"
The blond laughed joyfully, "Don't worry about it this is purely business and it will help with the situation in no time. Expect to hear the doorbell in about ten minutes."
"How're you texting?" asked Hinata chewing on a licorice.
"You'll find out." winked Ino.
"Spit it out, what game are you playing, Pig?"
Smirking she replied, "My favorite game, Forehead." The four looked at each other with a confused look in her eye until realization dawn to them about ten minutes later.
"Hey! You Pig you better not be playing matchmaker! I won't ever forgive you!" yelled out Sakura. "Did you tell him that I kissed him?!"
"Actually, you told him yourself."
"Ino!!!" exclaimed Sakura stressfully. "When I get my hands on you!" The knock on the door pulled her back from beating Ino to a pulp. Walking up to her white door while rubbing her slightly large forehead. "I'm not in a good mood right now, sorry but why are you - Sasuke? What in the world are you doing here?"
Sasuke coughed while holding out her vampire costume, "You left it at my house."
Jade orbs widen when a small smile plastered on her lips, "Thank you." Her hands grabbed the neatly folded outfit and placed it within her hands, "Would you like to come in or just stand outside? The girls are here we were just chilling."
"Usually I would say yeah but right now I just need to talk to you.. privately."
"Uhm, this isn't really the right time.." whispered Sakura.
"Look, I know you kissed me this morning while I was sleeping. All I'm asking for is for you and I to talk this out."
"So you could just crush me again? Why should I even give you that chance?" she asked sadly.
"Because you love me."
The four girls were peeking one by one against the wall. They all gasped when Sasuke used that one line against her, that was totally a bad move. Using her love just to get to talk to her would might as well earn himself a slap in the face but it was surprising how Sakura just nodded and let him in her house. Once they spotted that they were going into the living room the four scrambled to their original spots. On their way however Tenten tripped and knocked right into Ino who knocked into Temari who slightly pushed Hinata.
By the end of it all they were tangled like a bunch of pretzels when Sakura arrived with Sasuke was trailing behind her. "I would ask but I'm afraid of the answer." glared Sakura it was painfully obvious that she knew that they were peeking either they gave it away by the noise or the fact that Sakura knew all her friends so well, "We're going up to my room to talk. If I hear any of you eavesdropping then well let's just say it won't end well. That means you Ino!!"
"Hey! Why do you always assume it's me?"
"Cause I know you so well. We'll be right back."
"Fine, but please don't have any sex with us here!" called Ino. Ignoring the comment Ino had given the couple walked up the stairs and walked into Sakura's room.
"All right, spit it out." said Sakura.
"Should we go check to see if they're all right?" asked Temari mischievously. "I mean, I honestly want to know if they're actually going at it right now. Ha! Then we could take pictures and post it all over the Internet! We'll be rich in no time, or we could use it for blackmail. Then we would always get our way. Although karma's a bitch."
"Temari-chan, that is an invasion of privacy. Maybe we should leave this to them." suggested the shy one.
"As much as I hate to admit it - and I really, really hate to admit it considering it's something I would do - I honestly do not want my ass kicked by a very angry Sakura anyway." sadly admitted Ino who was sipping orange juice.
"So what are we going to do?" asked Tenten.
"Hold up, maybe we should watch Avatar."
"The thing with those blue people?"
"Hell no, Ino. It isn't just blue people. It is like one of the best movies in the world."
"Sorry, Tema, I think we should watch that movie with that fourteen year old girl who gets killed and her father has to like solve her mystery. That shit looks down."
"Don't you guys think it's weird how right when we come over Sasuke comes over too?" absentmindedly Tenten scratched her chin in a thinking matter. From the corner of her chocolate brown eyes Ino was smirking, "What the hell did you do, Ino?"
"I said I was playing my favorite game, didn't I?" If it wasn't for the situation at hand Ino had almost looked innocent. Almost. "If you guys knew me as well as you think you do then you would already know that my favorite game in the whole world is matchmaker."
Her limbs froze and became more rigid then stone as she was comprehending what was happening. Was this possible? This must be a dream, she kept repeating in her head. Shutting her eyes tightly and re-opening them she still saw Sasuke's face against hers. His lips pressed against her own in a loving matter. Sasuke's masculine hands cupped her cheeks.
After a while - a wonderfully long while - Sakura started to kiss him back. Although realizing what she was doing, she pulled back as if she had been stung by a bunch of bees. It was killing her softly to be so close to him and Sasuke not even loving her in the way she loved him. His next words seemed to prove her wrong though, oh so wrong, "I love you, Sakura. It took me a while to realize it, but I did."
From those fights they had when they were drunk, from the time they met Carolyn who owned that big ass mansion back at the party, to those times when he ditched her constantly and she still managed to love him. Finally, finally Sasuke had admitted that he loved her. Yet, as much as Sakura wanted to scream at him the only thing she was able to do was to tear up and tackle him down on her bed smiling brightly, genuinely.
In her heart, she knew that no matter what they would face... They would face it together, as a couple. Pecking his lips lightly she looked up into those onyx eyes that trapped her time and time again.
Everything was going to be all right.
All righty! I figured that I would like the readers to have them do what the hell they wanted in your head so I left it at that! I was going to add a lemon but then I was like nahh! Okay here is the answer I know that all of you guys would asked surely, "Are you going to make a sequal?" Sorry no, I would rather much work on other plots and such. But who knows if I do get a lot of requests of it maybe I will!
Now for the coolness of lists that reads every single reviewers name that reviewed more then two times! Yes, that endless list. Which is going to take a long ass while so you could just scroll down and look your your name because you know you want to feel special! ;)
