Sakura's POV
I walk up the stairs of the apartment complex with the landlord following behind me. Now that the bullying issue at Sarada's school has died down, I am back at looking for a new home. The first place I am looking at is the tiny apartment with a balcony. After one more flight of stairs, we enter a narrow hallway, and stop by one of the closer doors to the stairs. "This is it," he says and unlocks the door.
When you enter, you are in the kitchen. in the middle is a small table and two chairs and the counter, stove, sink, and fridge are all along the wall to the left. On the right is a door leading to the bathroom. The landlord opens it for me and I walk into it. The walls, just like outside, are a pleasant tan/very light brown color. The marble pattern sink and toilet are to my right and the shower/bathtub is in the far left corner.
Both the landlord and I exit out of the bathroom, and he then leads me farther into the apartment where the flooring turns from hardwood to carpet. To my right is where a bed is. There are also two closets that are next to the bathroom.
To the left is what would be the living room. A small loveseat and coffee sit on the same wall that the kitchen counters are, and to the right of that is the balcony. I waste no time in walking over to the sliding glass doors and opening it. Stepping out of the apartment I am welcomed with a cool breeze and a more peaceful view of the city.
The landlord walks next to me and continues to pitch the apartment to me, but I don't listen intently. I don't need him to try to sell it to me. I love it. It's small and cozy just for me. Also, who knows how long I will be living here. Maybe sometime in the far future Sasuke will ask me to move in with him and Sarada.
I lean on the balcony a little longer and take in the fresh air before going back inside. While inside, I examine where all the outlets are, the oven and fridge, and the tub and sinks to make sure everything is working.
Once I am done, the landlord and I sit down and talk about the utilities, the rent cost, when the apartment was updated. "So how do you feel? Are you interested in the apartment?"
"Very much," I say with a smile.
Third Person's POV
sits quietly in his office chair, having his back to the desk as he stares through the windows that are letting out the most light. He then uses his foot to turn it back around to face the small girl sitting in one of the seats across from him.
After her week-long suspension, Aimi was told to go to the principal's office after school instead of detention like she planned. Sitting in the chairs with her right arm resting on the armrest, and her hand holding up her face. She looks even more bored to be there than she was the first time with her mother and the Uchihas.
"I know you weren't expecting to come here so I won't keep you hear too long." Aimi looks off in the distance again, looking even more uninterested in the conversation. "Why did you do it?" pauses hoping that Aimi will look at him, but she doesn't, so he continues. "Why did you bully Sarada? And Cho Cho? All the other girls?"
Before answering, Aimi takes a deep breath and sighs. "I don't know," she says, still not looking at him.
"That's not gonna cut it."
"...They were just annoying. Cho Cho would always talk and be so loud. And Sarada always acted like she was better than all of us."
"So you thought that because they were annoying, it gave you the right to bully them?"
"...I guess."
looks at her with a bit of shock. "You had no right to do that. You don't have to like them, but that doesn't give you any right to hurt them."
Instead of listening to him, Aimi sighs in boredom again and rests her head on the back of her chair. From her posture, and the amount of attention she is putting in, realizes that he isn't getting anywhere with her, so he decides to take a different approach.
"I heard your father's business hasn't been doing well recently. Your parents must be stressed about that." Aimi doesn't move, but her eyes open again. "Must not be easy for you too." Once again, Aimi doesn't look at him, but squirms in her seat. "I saw the way your mother acted throughout that meeting. Is she always like that?"
Aimi anxiously taps her foot. "What about your dad?"
"They're fine," Aimi finally speaks.
"You seem to be uncomfortable, Aimi." Aimi's foot taps faster as she moves her head in a different direction.
"I'm fine."
"Then look at me when I'm talking to you." Aimi glances towards , to be caught in the stare he did at the last meeting to get to break. "I'm trying to help you Aimi." Aimi's face now shows discomfort and tension. "The time you started bullying kids is around the same time your father's business started to fail."
Aimi's face turns to pain. "What's going on?"
"Nothing is going on!" she shouts. "I don't know what you are trying to imply, but nothing is happening! They have just been a little more stricter! Why do you care?!"
"I care because I am worried about you. I don't believe you started bullying people because they annoyed you. You were a good kid who followed rules and worked hard to get good grades. Why did that change?"
Aimi bites her lip to avoid saying anything bad. "If you don't feel comfortable telling me, would you rather talk to the guidance counselor.
"Leave me alone!" she screams.
"Aimi, please calm down. I won't force you to talk if you don't want to. You can leave now if you want. Please come talk to me or the guidance counselor if there is something troubling you.
Aimi wastes no time in leaving. After jumping from her seat, she aggressively stomps to the door and leaves without turning back. Once the door closes fully, turns back to the windows with contemplation. Not even a minute goes by before a knock is heard on his office door. "Yes?"
The door opens slowly showing one of the office ladies holding some paper work. "Sir?"
"What is it?"
"I was just wondering if everything is alright with that girl. She ran out of the office with watery eyes."
Mr Yamato covers his mouth with his hand thinking of a response to say. "...I think something is going on with her and her parents."
The shy which was bright blue earlier are now dark filled with white dots known as stars. In the small room filled with books and stuffed animals, Sakura sits on the small twin size bed along with the dark eyed girl named Sarada. While Sarada holds the stuffed elephant Sakura gave her, Sakura runs a brush gently through the girl's dark hair. "Your hair has gotten longer Sarada," she says, grabbing the bottom of it and twirling it. It's true. When Sakura met her, her hair was shoulder length, but now it goes past her shoulders almost past the shoulder blades.
"I think I'm going to grow it out," Sarada says.
Sakura goes back to brush, and once her hair is knot free, she grabs a small amount of hair at the top of her head to start a french braid. "Maybe I will too."
"Yeah, you should Sakura! I bet you look beautiful with long hair... Not that you don't look beautiful now!" Sarada explains nervously, hoping to not have angered the woman braiding her hair.
Sakura only chuckles. "Thank you."
"Are you staying for the night or are you leaving?"
"I'm staying." Sakura gets to the end of the braid and ties it. Once she is done, Sarada turns to face her, still holding the elephant and sitting with her legs crossed.
"Would you be able to make pancakes tomorrow for breakfast?" she asks shyly. "Every time Papa tries, he ends up making a mess and burning the pancakes, or himself."
Sakura again laughs at what Sarada says. "Sure." Once she stops, Sakura caresses Sarada's small cheek. When Sakura looks at her, she finds herself being reminded of the time they spent outside the school office, and how Sakura wasn't able to stand up for her, causing the smile that was on her face to turn into a frown.
"What's wrong?"
Her hand drops from Sarada's face to her own lap. "Sarada, I'm sorry I wasn't able to stand up to Aimi's mother. She was saying horrible things about you and Sasuke, and I didn't stop her."
"That's okay," Sarada tries to reassure her.
"No, it's not. I should have said something. I should have-"
Sarada interrupts her before Sakura can continue. "Sakura stop! I'm okay. I don't blame you for it. That woman was crazy! It doesn't bother me, okay?"
The smile that was on Sakura's face before returns after being reassured by Sarada. "Okay." With their conversation ending, Sakura gets off the bed so Sarada can climb under the covers with her stuffed animal. Once under them, Sakura covers her even more and Sarada takes off her glasses and places them on her nightstand. "Goodnight Sarada." Without much thought, Sakura kisses Sarada's forehead.
"Goodnight Sakura," she mumbles in the sheets. As Sarada closes her eyes and clutches the animal, Sakura turns off the lamp and walks to the door. Before leaving, Sakura looks back at the child with joy, then closes the door slowly.
Sakura walks down the narrow hallway and finds herself looking at the man on the couch, reading. His hair spiky hair falling on his face, and showing off the strong neck that is normally hiding. As quietly as possible, Sakura walks over to the couch to sit next to him.
Sasuke notices a moving figure in the corner of his eye, making him turn to see his girlfriend sit down next to him with a sweet smile. "Hey." Sasuke closes up the book and places it on the coffee table before turning his body towards her, and placing an arm over the couch, making his body more open. "How is Sarada?"
"She's asleep." Sakura leans her face onto the arm that's over the couch, causing her cheek to bunch up at her eye, making look even cuter to Sasuke.
"Can I say something?" he asks.
"Sure."
"I just want to tell you how thankful I am to you."
Sakura lifts her face a little off of Sasuke's arm. "What?"
"I mean it. You have been so helpful and great. Making me see my parents, helping me with my money issues, helping Sarada get through the bullying, and those are just some of the things you have done. I'm so grateful to have you in my life."
"You're being cheesy, Sasuke," Sakura giggles.
"I'm being serious. I don't know where I would be without you. I've never felt like this for someone before." While talking, Sasuke brings his other arm to Sakura's cheek to caress it. "I love you Sakura. So much."
Sakura's face turns from cute smiling, to more serious. "What did you say?"
"I said I love you." Sakura stares into his dark eyes. They show honesty and a lot of love. She can feel her own eyes on the verge of having tears spill out, but instead, she grins widely.
"I love you too." Hearing that made Sasuke smile even more. Without throwing away any more time, Sasuke and Sakura lean into each other and close the gap between them.
Both of them kiss passionately, trying to convey their feelings in that kiss, causing it to get deeper. Sakura leans in even more and wraps her arms around his neck to pull him closer. Sasuke's arms go on her thighs, running his hands up them to her hips.
Sasuke then forces his tongue in Sakura's mouth, which she happily obliges. Sasuke takes his time exploring everywhere, from her teeth, all the way to the back of her throat, trying to push his tongue as far as he can. Sakura lets out a soft moan, and decides to end Sasuke's fun by wrapping her tongue around his and pushing it out so she can get to his mouth. Both fight for a long time, but Sakura wins this time. She enters his mouth and explores anywhere she can.
In order to speed things up and get back in control, Sasuke moves his hands to Sakura's butt, giving it an aggressive squeeze. Sakura gasps, letting Sasuke back in her mouth.
As they continue to make out, Sakura notices the weird position they're in. Since they are still both sitting on the couch, it's hard for them to hold each other. Without breaking contact, Sakura changes it by moving over and sitting on Sasuke's lap, having her knees hugging his hips.
Excitement fills Sasuke because of Sakura being bold and more controlling. Sasuke puts his hands back on her butt as Sakura grips his hair with one hand and the other rest of his chest.
"Sasuke," Sakura whispers once they break apart. A bit of blood shoots down to Sasuke's crotch when she says his name. Sasuke then moves his kiss to Sakura's neck.
He leaves butterfly kisses all over her next, then starts to lick and nibble in certain areas. Sakura feels herself starting to pant like she just finished running a 5k and arching her neck to give him more access.
On the side of her neck, Sasuke bites down hard, making Sakura let out another moan and giving her a red mark. He moves lower down to the end of her neck and her shoulders. Sasuke uses one arm to move her shirt off her shoulder so he can nibble on the skin there. Both of Sakura's hands are now in his hair, pulling and gripping.
After spending some time by her shoulder, Sasuke moves back to the middle and tries to kiss down her chest, but the collar of the shirt she wears doesn't let him go that far. "Sasuke," Sakura whispers again to get his attention. Sasuke looks back into her green eyes clouded with lust, making them look darker. Sakura slides her hands down his chest til they get to the end of his shirt, then she grabs it and runs it up. Sasuke raises his arms a bit to let her slide off his shirt, which she does, exposing his slim and toned chest to the warm air.
This time it's Sakura's turn to leave kisses on him. She starts at his neck again, while letting her hands run along his bare chest. Sasuke leans his head back as Sakura keeps kissing and biting him everywhere she could. As her hands slide down, Sakura rubs her thumbs over his nipples, and drags her nails softly up. Sasuke tries to hold in his moan, but when Sakura's hands reach near his pants, her nails glide up, and can't hold it.
Sakura moves her hands to Sasuke's shoulders and grips them as she kisses him on the lips again. Sasuke moves his hands to the end of Sakura's shirt, and lifts it up, showing her stomach, but stopping right before her chest. He then grips her bare waist.
"Sakura," he moans.
"Sa-su-ke." When they once again kiss, Sasuke lifts the shirt even more, exposing her chest covered with a lace bra. At this point, Sakura can feel Sasuke losing himself a bit. Her exposed skin makes his bulge bigger as Sakura can feel it on her thigh.
"Sakura, I want... I need-"
"Me too," she says looking into his eyes again.
With no hesitation, Sasuke cups Sakura's covered breasts, making her arch her back and moan. her arms go back to his neck as Sasuke squeezes her breast and kisses the skin around it.
"Sas-Sas-Sasuke," Sakura struggles to speak. While Sasuke continues to kiss her breasts, both of his hands go over to the back of the bra where the clasp is. However, just as he is about to free her chest from the bra, a knock is heard. Sasuke and Sakura let go of each other quickly and look over to the door to see if someone actually knocked.
Sakura moves her attention from the door to the window next to it. From what she can see, there is a tall woman with long blonde hair at the door. "Oh my god," Sasuke says shockingly.
"What, who is it?" Sakura asks, looking at Sasuke, but his eyes are still glued to the person standing outside.
"That's Ino... Sarada's mother."
