"Miss Haruno you should try this dress on, it's beautiful!"
"Miss Haruno, do you like these flowers?...they match your lovely hair!"
"Harino miss…..try cake, flavor taco"
"Oh god, someday get maid Flow out of here"
What's going on you ask?...well. I was abducted on my way to school by the Uchiha maids. It's somewhat of a blurr on how they did it…all I remember was walking down the street, minding my own business. Then suddenly I was here, getting forced into wedding gowns and having cake stuffed down my throat. Not that I'm complaining about the cake part, it was delicious. However, everything else was seriously irritating me.
"Uhm, is all of this really necessary? the weddings not until next month…and… ..I'm missing school"
"Oh don't worry about that Miss Haruno, we wrote you a note then sent it to all your teachers." Maid number one grinned, adjusting things on my rather uncomfortable dress.
Well that's real nice, ..aren't notes supposed to be written by parents?
"Oh..but I have this test coming up in a couple days, I really shouldn't miss any classes…I don't want to fail"
"Hehe your test won't matter since you'll be out of school after the wedding, don't worry about it. Just relax and be happy you're marrying Itachi Uchiha, he's going to be taking over after Mister Uchiha you know?"
Blah, blah, blah. I've already heard this about a million times. Marriage shouldn't stop me from going to school. UGH.
"Though I'm a bit surprised, Itachi had more than ten different potential brides…he rejected them all stating he had feelings for someone else. Then suddenly asked for your hand…he must have loved you for a very long time." Maid number two awed.
"Oh, really?...when did he start meeting these girls?" I wasn't sure why, but that sounded rather odd to me.
"Hm, let me see….I guess…it was about three years ago"
"Three years?...but I only met Itachi this year….how could he have feelings for me for that long?"
"Eh?...maybe it was love at first sight?"
"But he said he had feelings for someone" I guess that could have been a lie, maybe he disliked those girls and needed an excuse to reject them….
"Miss Haruno, please don't over think things…that was in the past …just focus on the now?...DO YOU LIKE THESE LILLYS?"
Looks like these girls were done talking about it….oh well..at least I knew a tiny bit more about Itachi….but it's not all that surprising that he had girls interested in marrying him. He was attractive and rich. For a lot of girls that was a dream come true.
"Harino, cake…flavor…mousey"
"I SAID GET MIAD FLOW OUT OF HERE"
Oi vay, these girls were annoying as heck. I needed to leave before I started killing people just for the sake of having some peace and quiet.
"You know who's also very handsome?...Sasuke…hey Haruno..since you're with Itachi you don't mind if I snag Sasuke hmm?"
…..Oh no she didn't… how dare she say that about MY-…..my…friend.
"BOY FRIEND"
INNER…..get out of here, I have no time for you.
"YOU'RE JUST GONNA LET THOSE HUSSYS TALK ABOUT YOUR MAN?"
Woah, WOAH …he's not my man…okay?
"THEN WHY ARE YOU GETTING PISSED OFF, IF HE WAS A FRIEND YOU WOULDN'T REALLY CARE WHAT THEY SAID RIGHT?"
That's not true…
"SO IS, speaking of which…where has Sasuke been anyway?."
School stuff, I guess.
"YOU HAVEN'T BEEN DOING MUCH SLAVE STUFF HUH?"
I guess he grew tired of it, finally.
"YOU MISS IT"
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?...of course I don't why would I miss being a SLAVE?
"I DON'T KNOW, YOU TELL ME. I'M YOU"
Touche inner…..TOUCHE.
"Miss Haruno, are you alright?"
"Huh?..oh yes I'm fine….what were we talking about?"
"Sasuke Uchiha's sexiness"
"Oh…yeah"
"You can't be with Sasuke..he's engaged to Karin..DUH"
"But that Karin is such a whore"
"Yeah…but she's still his fiancé"
"Hmph, whatever"
"Anyways ….hey…. Miss Haruno…you excited for the wedding night?...you're a virgin right?" Maid number one giggled, winking at me.
GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE, NOW.
"Uhm..guys, thanks for everything but…I really need to go now, okay?"
The maids stared at me for a moment with concerned expressions.
"But we still have twenty other flavors of cake for you to try"
"And eight other dresses"
"I'll have to do that next time"
Next time meaning NEVER..never… never …never.
"NEVER SAY NEVER"
Shut up.
After changing back into my uniform I exited the shop, praying I'd never have to return there again. There was still some time left, I could catch the ending of the school day. Maybe I'd be able to chat with some friends…..I wonder if Sasuke had heard the news….he never texted me or anything…so maybe not? I'd know when I talked to him….I could call him or something, but…something like this seemed like it had to be said it person.
Crack
Okay…..what did I just step on?... I glanced down noticing I had crushed an old ring. ….Must have been thrown out or something…looks like it was kinda junky…anyway I didn't have time to worry about that..I needed to get to school
"THE RING I GOT GAI SENSEI ….IT'S RUINED NOOOOO HOW AM I GONNA PROPOSE NOW?" a voice from behind me bellowed. Oops….my bad.
….
When I got to school, classes were already over and pretty much everyone was gone. Though I went to class anyway…I had a feeling a certain someone was still there. As I reached for the doorknob …the door swung open, nearly hitting me in the face.
"H-Hey watch it"
"Sakura?" the Uchiha I actually wanted to see frowned.
"Yeah, hey what's with the face?"
"Hn…what are you doing here?..classes are already over for the day"
"I know, but..I wanted to tell you something"
Sasuke stared at me for a moment then with a sigh went back into the class room. I followed, him sitting at my desk.
"So what is it you want to tell me?" he asked, leaning back in his chair.
"Uh..first…have you heard the news?"
"What news?"
"Uhm" I fidgeted.
"….."
"…..About the wedding?"
"What wedding?" Sasukes brow rose, seemingly more interested in what I had to say.
"Itachis…and mine…." I lowered my head shamefully…why did It feel like I was cheating on him..when we weren't even together?
He didn't reply, his eyes simply scanned me…probably to see if I was being serious or not.
"I don't want to…but I HAVE to. ….no one's letting me have a choice…my mom won't even listen.
"…."
"Don't just sit there with that emotionless face of yours say something"
"Hn.."
"SASUKE"
"What do you want me to say?"
"Huh?"
"How does this have anything to do with me?"
What did he mean by that?...I thought he was mad that I was engaged to Itachi….now I was officially marrying him and all he could say was that. ASSHOLE.
"You're not mad?"
"No"
"Why were you so mad when you found out I was engaged to him then?..do you even care?"
No answer, why was he acting so weird… he was colder than usual. He didn't even look me in the eyes for long. ….Did he really not care out all about this?...was I being an idiot for thinking he'd give a damn?
"I thought you said you…liked me?"
"….."
"Do you hate me now or something?"
"…"
"Am I just a nuisance?"
"Shut up"
Did he just tell me to shut up? THAT BASTARD.
"NO"
"What do you want me to do?"
"I want you to help me get out of this, DUH"
"What's in it for me?"
"In it for you?...uh…you can't just help me"
"Haven't I helped you a lot lately, though I've got nothing in return"
I repeat ..ASSHOLE…where is this coming from?...sure…he's helped me …a few times but…I'm his SLAVE…or was …
"….FINE… what do you want?"
Sasuke quickly smirked at my questioned.
"Tell me how you feel about me"
"WHAT?"
"I'm waiting"
That sly fox…what was I supposed to say?...ugh. I guess I just had to suck it up….forget about my pride….and just say it.
"You really wanna know?"
"…."
"You're a jerk, emotionless….sadistic ….mean….rude…..cruel…perverted. ...BUT you're also…someone I trust….and…I ugh.. care….about you…."
This is the most difficult thing I've ever had to do.
"AND….I might even…kinda….like-like you…don't let it go to your head you hear me?"
I said it…oh god.
"FINALLY"
Sasuke looked more than pleased, thank goodness.
"Is that right?"
"YES…okay?..so are you going to-" I was interrupted by Sasukes lips pressing against mine. I slowly kissed him back but then pulled away, I could feel my cheeks burning.
"Why'd you do that?"
"I've already got a plan"
"Huh, you do?...what is it?"
"Listen carefully"
