Well on to the story!
Chapter 2
After plenty of food was served, Kay said her goodbye and exited. It wasn't at all what Sakura was expecting. She robbed the Uchihas and still she got this much. It was all too overwhelming. She was expecting something along the lines of, endless tortures in the basement; tied to an electric chair, beaten up multiple times with needled clubs, or thrown in jail for life, plus at least thousands of hours doing community service. There was always the possibility that they found out that she was a thief and just acted this way so she can suffer inside out.
What am I going to do? A series of questions ran through her mind, as she tried to stay calm. She needed to get the money out of here and fast. Wait………the money! Where is it? What if they got it? What if…………I'm doomed!
She jumped off the bed in a hurried manner, she panted as she reached the door and peered outside. Nobody was around. If she wanted to get out, this was her only chance. With silence steps, she quietly got out of the hall. What lost her was that at the end of that hallway there were multiple doors along the two hallways leading who the hell knows where. Looking at them, she can tell they were endless. She was completely lost. Right or left?
There was no time to fool around. Just then she heard footsteps approaching the area from the left side, so she had no choice but to choose the right (side) hallway. She hurried through it. There was endless amount of golden, beige wallpaper. The feeling that she'll get caught and she'll defiantly be dead by the end of this stay grew with every step she took. Her pants rose in her lungs and she was feeling a bit dizzy. Maybe getting out of bed was not such a good idea. But I need to get the money!
She still ran, breathlessly and…bang! She hit into something hard. She couldn't she what or rather who she bumped into. She was about to fall backwards when two strong arms brought her back up to her feet, then laid her down against the wall. Panting, she opened her eyes only to stare straight into dark, rather gloomy eyes.
It was him again. This time his eyes were focused more on her then before, "Where do you think your going?" He questioned.
"Um…. well. I was just…." She tried to explain, but he cut her off.
Sigh. "Look you're in no condition to move. Take my advise, stay in bed," with that he stood up and held out a hand to help her up. She gladly took it and thanked him. He put an arm around her waist, while she put her hand around his shoulder so she can move.
There was a long silence between them and they were still nowhere near her bedroom, "I'm sorry for being a burden to you. I-I promise just as soon as I'm healed, I'll leave," she said quietly.
He turned to face her and said, "You're no burden but I can tell right away that," he turned away and said, "you're annoying."
"Hey! That's not very nice," Sakura glared at him.
"I never said I'm an easy person to get along with," he smirked at her. That shut her up, "Well since you're here, I might as well get to know you better."
Sakura nodded in response. So much for getting the money. I can't believe this, "Thanks."
"For what?" he questioned.
"You know for saving me yesterday and today," she said in a low tone.
"Hn," he didn't say much.
"Umm I wanted to ask you something," she said softly.
"Go ahead," he replied.
"Sorry, I know this is kindda personal, but do you live here alone? Where are your parents?" she said looking at him.
He stopped in his tracks. Sigh. Me and my big mouth.
"My parents are dead," he said and then continued after a brief pause, "My brother's in charge of this household and whatnot, but he could careless. He's off somewhere. Who knows where? This means I'm the next heir of this house and my father's wealth," he tilted his head a bit so it faced the floor, "whether I like it or not."
"Do you think it's wise to tell someone like this something so big?" Sakura said.
"Why not?"
Good question. Well, now I understand the reason why nobody's still figured out the money's missing. This is so cool, but if he does find out, I'm dead!
"Here we are," Sasuke informed her.
Finally. He laid her on the bed and told her to rest and went off to get Kay. What a strange guy. First he says I'm annoying then he says he wants to be friends. She liked his attitude, not very straight forward yet very kept together. She likes that in man.

After he had sent Kay to Sakura, Sasuke headed for his room. When he got there, he realized something; he'd forgotten to give her back her bag that she was carrying. It was sitting on Sasuke's desk. He approached it and decided he'd give it back to her.
He lifted it, but he found it heavy. It felt like there were massive rocks stored in it. He decided to juts sneak a peek at it. No harm done. Also he was kindda curious to what the girl was doing in front of her house yesterday night.

Damn it! I've got to find it before he gets hold of it. Sakura strolled back and forth in her room. Thinking of ideas on how she might be able to get out here, but then there's the fact that he's been kind to her even though he doesn't seem like the one to show it.
She quickly decided that she should go ask Sasuke if he'd found a bag where she was lying last night, "Kay."
"Yes, Miss Sakura," she replied quickly.
"Do you know where Sasuke's room is located?"
"Yes. Would ye like me to escort ye there? Yer in no condition to run about," she asked smiling.
"Yes," with that Sakura left with Kay to find Sasuke's room.
It was after 3 minutes that they reached his bedroom. It seemed to be open a bit. Sakura thanked Kay and entered the room. She saw Sasuke sitting on his desk thinking. Sakura knocked on the door softly to get his attention. He snapped out of his thoughts to face her.
"Sorry to bother like this, but did you happen to find a black bag when I was lying on the ground last night?" she asked.
He pointed at the bag sitting on his desk and motioned for her to take it. He had his elbows placed on either side of the armrest and his fingers intertwined in front of his face. Sakura grabbed the bag and was about to leave when she saw that Sasuke had gotten himself there before her.
He locked the door and faced her, with a strange danger in his eyes that Sakura didn't notice before. This aroused fear inside of her. He approached her slowly, until they were two feet apart. He spoke in a voice just above a whisper, "We need to talk."
TBC.
A/N: So how was it? Please forgive of any grammar/spelling mistakes. Hope you enjoyed it. I had so many different endings for this chapter but then as I kept on typing a new idea popped into my head so there it is. So what do you think? Will Sakura get in trouble? Well anyway, please review and tell me what you though of it.
