FanFiction Story: Backstabbing Love
Summary: Sakura and Sasuke are having an all-out war with each other that could end their relationship immediately! With Naruto, Hinata, Ino, Shikamaru, and Kakashi in the next room… Rated for Angst, Drama, and Joke-Cracking
AN: The dramatic chapter of Lovers' Spat: 10:09 pm was supposed to be composed of so many emotions that could split a reader's way of thinking in half and I tried to create Sasuke's way of dealing of things. Though it may be a bit messed up and crazy, I have to say you can't find a good love story that doesn't repeat the same things other authors have written up. I would think we need more romantic stories that consist of insane twists instead of those numerous boring stories that always start with this so-called lovey-dovey plots and predictable ends! I hate those kinds of stories!
And because I was so pissed off and frustrated, it drove me into writing this story! In which plots would include insanity and compose of heart-tearing extravaganzas! MUHAHAHAHA!
It brought a slight amusement in me when I read that a few of you had almost cried or just became emotional through the chapters, I was just thinking whoa I didn't think this story was that intense when I was going over some your reviews, haha.
Requiem Mass: 12:17 am
"You knew along and you never told us!" Ino screeched at Naruto, with hot narrowed eyes and snarling lip-stick smudged mouth.
It had been over two hours when Sasuke was telling Sakura everything from the time he and Sakura got together to the start of his affairs with Ami then ending depressingly when his pink-haired beauty found the pictures. The four apprehensive occupants within the Hyuuga heiress' secluded bed room overheard the entire conversation, since it wasn't hard not to when Sakura kept cutting Sasuke off with desperate questions and wails.
But those agonizing two hours were what Satan had in mind to torture them in the afterlife. The waiting, the temptation to crash into the living room to kill the Uchiha bastard, the more of those annoying waiting, and the hunger…
Hinata's stomach growled unpleasantly when she dug into her desk drawers to search for left over chocolate candy bars and her hidden stash of juice boxes. Luckily Naruto bought in the last grocery bag of bread loaf that was supposedly saved for breakfast the next morning. Ino grabbed two slices of white bread and ate it like it was her precious oasis. Shikamaru snapped off a small piece of milk chocolate crumbles (While scowling) and let it swim around in his saliva to savor the bittersweet taste.
The fox boy was busily avoiding Ino's nasty glares and continued to listen into his very best friends talking.
It was so long ago when he found out about Sasuke-teme's affairs with that scarlet bitch of a woman, but what can he say? He already could figure out that Sakura would not believe him and Sasuke could easily reject it and could've later on hid it better.
Naruto took it into his own actions and took his fourteenth birthday camera, which Iruka-sensei had generously bought, with him and followed Sasuke and Ami to that woman's small apartment in the dark corners of Konoha. He remembered the growing stench of alcohol that the fucking idiot had bought with him when he climbed up the pipes in the back alley.
He remembered when the two went inside the apartment, when Ami planted a sick, dark kiss on his best friend's lips when her long disgusting tongue swept into his mouth. When she let go, that bastard's unfocused hazy eyes and drunken expressions enhanced, forcefully attacked her in the result of ripping apart her skimpy dress and took her like a demon.
And the blonde knew Sasuke kept picturing that brunette as Sakura, the real love of his life that he couldn't bear to touch.
And oh how sickening it was when all Ami had on her face was a huge devilish grin. Naruto took quick snapshots every night when Sasuke went out and took a 'walk'. It broke his heart every night when his sister-like friend knew nothing of the next day when she smiled sumptuously at that jerk.
Had he done the right thing though?
Hinata unconsciously kept pressing her ear against the door, blinking away the few tears that flowed down her silvery-white eyes and on to her turtleneck. Her friend was hurting…she really wanted to do something…but she knew she couldn't.
Nara Shikamaru scowled for the hundredth time that night, irritated that his girlfriend kept running towards the door when the two idiots outside broke into another cat-and-mouse chase around the living room, or whenever they heard Sakura crying. He didn't want to waste all his damn chakra on trapping her into his shadow.
This was so troublesome!
The Yamanaka blonde slowly stopped eating so fast and hugged herself in her slender arms, with downcast blue eyes and a small frown that took away the fiery personality of her's. She quickly wiped her lips free of the pasty pink lipstick with a napkin and flattened her flimsy purple dress around her like a circle. Ino really did want to run out of this room and save Sakura before she hurt herself. But her stupid fiancé of her's kept pulling that one-trick jutsu on her!
She was completely upset, she was so angry at herself and her foolish wedding planning that she had noticed that Sakura was suffering little by little by Sasuke's muteness, leaving her best friend in the dust, leaving her so alone—and now! She finds out everything!
Ino wanted to slap Naruto so bad for not telling her, for not stopping this before it got worst, for not consulting Sakura his best friend, and for ever letting this get out of hand! HE DESERVED IT! HE DESERVED FOR EVER LETTING THIS HAPPEN ANY FURTHER!
The eighteen year old woman trend over to the demon vessel and land a strong punch across his peach face—SMACK!—shaking up the entire room with Hinata crying more and Shikamaru instantly restraining her.
"You idiot! You FOOL!" Ino wept loudly, struggling to punch him, to hurt him again, anything, "If you told us none of this would have happened! Because of your idiocy, Sakura is hurting more than ever and that AMI BITCH got what she wanted! FOUR MONTHS WE KNEW NOTHING OF THIS! You deserved my entire wrath! You deserve to burn in hell for not straightening this out even if you knew!"
Naruto was wide eyed and just incidentally frozen in time. His red cheeked face was still faced sideways towards the three others with his blond bangs callously fell off the secured forehead protector and covered his electric eyes that had dulled of all pure color. He could only hear the soft sound soft Hinata's pleads and he could imagine her tears pouring from her beautiful marble eyes and onto the polished floor. He could hear Shikamaru's muttered remarks while he held Ino down while she screamed whisperingly through his clasped fingers over her mouth.
He could hear the small kisses Shikamaru was planting on her cheek and jaws while Ino was crying and breaking down but still able to move in all directions to escape from her fiancé's clutches. Ino wanted to hit Naruto again and again to let out her anger that controlled her red mind.
Her words were thrown at him like rocks from thousands of catapults, first knocking him down and then torturing him more and more, he cannot stop it when he tried to whisper sorry…
The small quiet calming tones…the muffled screams…the nervous choking noises his beloved was making while she begged everyone to stop…the violence…the torment…
Everything…
Haruno Sakura brushed away her salty tears from the bottom lids of her red tinted eyes and pulling away the salt-crusted bangs that flown in her face when she kept shaking her head in disbelief.
This was so messed up…in a completely retarded way she could not explain what was happening.
She only half-listened to the things Sasuke was hesitantly murmuring to her. Sakura could see his eyes dwell sadness and regrets, full of depression and turmoil. He was pale white and shaking so bad she thought he was going to collapse.
When he told her of him not wanting to taint her with his darkness…it made her cry…
It made her cry so badly that she almost launched herself on him and hold him with her trembling arms, to smolder his shirt with her wet pearls and feel his warmth with her's. It almost…it almost…
It almost made her want to forgive him…
Inner Sakura angrily shut that thought down, screaming at her outside self for her stupidity and ranting on and on about what she wanted and he did to her—WATANABE AMI! HE SLEPT WITH AMI DESPITE THE LOVE SHE GIVEN SO WILLINGLY TO HIM! HOW CAN SHE FORGIVE HIM EVEN AFTER THAT STUPID TALK!
Damn it, she gave everything for him!
She gave him her entire devotion in life! She gave him her friendship, her time, her soul, her being, her love. And she expected nothing in return except perhaps his mere appearance. Then…then they shared their first kiss…
The kiss was soft, chaste…breathtakingly beautiful…his taste still lingered on her lips before she fell asleep that night…
Sakura didn't what came over her to make such a drastic move. Was it because it was too painful to continue to find love in other men who didn't seem to be right for her in any way? Was it because she believed her stupid mother's words of old maids who died alone and unwanted? Was it because he was alone and she pitied him? Was it because she still loved him even though she made it clear to herself they were only friends and nothing more…?
Or was she still that naïve weak-minded twelve-year-old girl who followed him around like some sick puppy?
Whatever the reason, Sasuke pressed his form against her's lightly with half-lidded eyes and whispered in a voice that would make any girl faint:
"I want to be with you…"
And eventually Sasuke and Sakura got together, becoming the center of gossip that elder women would stand in the street corners with their babies nuzzled in their bosoms telling each other nasty remarks about the dangerous ex-missing-nin and the pathetic sweetheart of Konoha that their love was doomed.
Were they right all along?
She could just imagine it now, that smirking face of Watanabe's with her long luscious black hair and teasing dark eyes that caught many young men's attentions. Somehow, Ami always got them into her bed, drinking off their miseries whether or not they were single or in committed relationship with their girlfriends and wives. She would smirk outside her lover's home, listening into the screams and breaking glass.
Sasuke and Ami…Ami and Sasuke…Ami…Watanabe Ami…Uchiha Ami…
Sakura shed more tears just thinking of them together in her bed, naked under the sheets…sharing a few soft kisses, maybe even his hand gliding up her thigh, she whispering into his ear, maybe laughing…then maybe Sasuke telling her he loved her—
NO! NO STOP THAT! The very idea of it made her want to scream and rip off her lovely strands of pink rosy hair.
"Get out! I need you to get out!" Sakura exclaimed grabbing full of her head and shaking it frantically from the awful thoughts, standing up instantly from her seat on the couch whose cushions didn't seem to be comfortable anymore. Sasuke stared at her for a moment and bent his head down in utmost shame.
"Oh God tell me that this isn't true! Tell me that you didn't betray me for four months!" Sakura wailed, shaking her head that scrambled up her vision and messed up with her mind even more.
Sasuke could not lie any longer. He cannot tell her any more lies. He bent his neck so low as if waiting for the axe to come down on his pale neck.
"I need you to tell me you didn't really want me! That you didn't love me! You can't trust me! I can't trust you! THAT ALL OF THIS WAS A LIE!" the pink haired girl screamed at him, glaring at him with all her might.
Uchiha Sasuke moved his head up until his black eyes stared up into her deep emerald ones. Sakura gasped when she saw that a layer of glowing wet tears lined on each the reddish bottoms of his bottomless emotional onyx eyes, his parted mouth that was slowly trembling and his shivering right hand was slowly making it to her arm.
"I…" the young man she loved all her life was slowly making his way towards her, "…I-I need that light…I need y-your trust again…I need you to l-love me as I-I will l-love you…I-I need to k-know there would always be s-s-someone there for m-me in my l-life…" The small space was closing up between them, "…Sakura…"
The four occupants within the Hyuuga heiress' room gasped and ran to the door, listening to every word.
"She can't do this! She just can't!" Ino murmured, pleadingly at Shikamaru who just stood still and took her hand into his.
The raven-haired man slowly slipped his hands on her hips, gradually feeling the curves she possessed.
"…Sakura…" he said again in that tempting voice that was killing her to touch him, "…Sakura…I…"
Sasuke held her close to his chest, pressing his lips gently on her shoulder up to her neck. There she left his warmth, his need, and his trembling form…the small drops of his bitter tears falling and creating tiny moist spots on her blouse. Slowly he moved his hands around the small of her back, never minding that she wasn't touching him back that her arms laid limp at her sides.
"…I'm so sorry…" Sasuke quivered, his throat scorched like a burning sun on the hot desert ground. Sakura gasped when his lips pushed sensuously on her shoulder blade. "…I'm so sorry for cheating on you…I'm sorry for ever lying to you…for betraying you…for never showing you how much I love you…"
He said it. Those three words. Those three beautiful words that caught her soul and stirred her heart.
No one was more beautiful than Sasuke…no one…
"…I need you…so much…I love you…so very much that I cannot imagine life without you…God, Sakura, I'll make it up for all the fucking mistakes I made over the years…"
Now both of them were weeping.
"No! No! Don't do it Sakura!" Ino cried, holding a killer grip on her lover's hand.
Sasuke placed a well-positioned kiss on her neck.
She whimpered weakly when her voice was coarse.
"…I can't bear to be without you…I don't want to hurt you again…" Sasuke continued on, kissing her neck to her collarbone.
"…I'm so fucking stupid…" he murmured, Sakura could only feel his kisses.
"…I love you…" he whispered, moving his lips above her's, closing his eyes slowly.
"No!" Ino cried harder, struggling not burst outside. Naruto sobbed while holding on to Hinata's breaking body.
Sakura felt his hot breath against her soft lips and she could only feel that his arms constricted around her possessively and the tears rolled from his eyes so slowly.
"…I love you…" Sasuke repeated emotionally, killing off the last centimeters between them.
She closed her eyes to squeeze out her very last tears for him.
She can't feel sorry for herself anymore.
She just can't…
"…no…" Sakura whispered tensely, shutting away her emerald eyes and leisurely pushing him off her, "…no, Sasuke…" She couldn't bear to see his shocked face and his watery eyes.
"…you're too late, damn it…too late…" she murmured, holding herself up with strength she thought she would never possess. Sasuke gaped, like his entire world falling apart. The building blocks around his world was slowly crumbling.
His eyes pleaded why.
"I can't but imagine her with you…" Sakura mumbled, sensing the stinging pain around her eyes, "I can't deal with it…even if we get back together…I can't…I can't let something like this slip through…"
Sasuke shook his head begging her to stop.
Sakura let her last tear roll down her pink cheeks, "We have to move on…I have to move on…we can't be together…"
"NO! NO! STOP SAYING THAT! SHUT UP!" Sasuke screamed, clasping his hands on her arm, shaking some sense into her, "I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU! I LOVE YOU SAKURA! I DO!"
But his attempts were worthless.
"We can't just—" Sakura gulped the lump in her throat determinedly, "We just can't be together anymore…"
And with that, she walked back to her room locking the door for the first time.
And everyone knew...
It was over.
To be continued…
What would you have done…?
