Maybe (Hopefully not) all of you will hate me after this, the very last chapter, because it ends in a way that you would not expect. Very surprising. Even David was surprised when I wrote it. The end will explain some of the things that some not-so-nice people were biting my head off for.

Anyways…

Sasuke dragged Sakura out of the bathroom, and threw her on the bed.

"Sakura, if I were you, I'd pay attention," Sasuke growled to her. He hated when someone, especially women, ignored him. If only the stupid girl knew what he did to the women that ignored him.

Sakura continued staring at the ceiling blankly, her mouth forming inaudible words. Every now and then, she'd twitch, but either than that, Sakura looked as though she had no clue Sasuke was laying on top of her, and slowly cutting the circulation off from her arms.

Finally, the light came back into Sakura's eyes.

"Uchiha, Sasuke, what the hell do you want from me?" Sakura yelled into his face. She really had tried ignoring him, but slowly, bit by bit, he got to her, and eventually, she snapped.

"That didn't take long," Sasuke said, squeezing Sakura's arms harder.

"What are you…?" Sakura looked at her arms. They were purple, and she couldn't move them. "Sasuke! STOP!"

"Stop… What? Oh, this?" Sasuke asked, looking sarcastically surprised as he looked where she was looking. "Then don't ignore me."

He released her arms, and gradually, Sakura's blood changed the purple tinted skin back to a healthy peach.

"What was that for?" Sakura said, rubbing her arms gingerly as she watched Sasuke look out the window, towards the early morning sunrise.

"I also hate repeating myself," Sasuke snarled at her. "But I'll do it once, if you don't catch it, sucks to be you. I said, 'Do not ignore me.' Got it?"

Sakura nodded. Sasuke's tone was scaring her more than anything.

Sakura stood up, and walked beside Sasuke. She looked up into his face. He was staring intently out the window, as though staring at the sun would make it rise faster. Sakura didn't know why, but she quickly hugged him.

"Stop this Sasuke. Stop this and come back with me, please!" Sakura pleaded, still hugging him, as though she could sway his answer.

"No," He pushed her away. "I won't. We've already had this conversation. I don't want to die at the hands of the weakest village there is."

"Then can you please let me go? Please, I need to get back before they report me as missing, or worse dead. Then you really will get executed."

"For what?" Sasuke asked, turning towards Sakura.

"Kidnap," Sakura answered. In all truth, she had no clue if the village would kill him for kidnapping her.

"I didn't kidnap you, Sakura," He leaned down so he was looking directly into her eyes. "You followed me here."

Sakura opened her mouth to argue, but couldn't find anything to defend herself with.

It's true, Sakura thought, looking down. I did follow him here, so I technically didn't get kidnapped.

"I… You… But…" Sakura stuttered. "Fine… You're right, I guess…"

"I always am," Sasuke said, standing straight and turning back towards the window.

"Fine, I won't tell anyone if you let me go," Sakura said. "Please, Sasuke, I'll do… I'll do anything…"

"I told you, you're not going to leave unless I permit you to," Sasuke took Sakura's waist again, and pushed her against the wall, taking precaution in not pushing too hard, or being insensitive and rough. He gently pressed his lips against hers, but quickly pulled away as though he was just asking for permission. "Do you realize what you just said to me? Do you know what runs through my mind when you say 'anything?'"

"N-No," Sakura gasped. Stupid! Stupidstupidstupid! How could I have been so careless? She yelled at herself.

"Y-Yes," Sasuke imitated her in a high-pitched voice. His voice went back to normal, and he growled, "I won't let you go though."

Sakura joined her lips with Sasuke's and kissed him deeply and passionately. Playfully, Sakura bit his lip and held his back, feeling his hard body against hers.

"Shut up," Sakura said.

"Don't tell me to shut up," Sasuke said. He joined their lips again. Sasuke bit Sakura's lip back, as though he was answering. A little harder than he meant, but all was fine. He slowly moved his mouth down, kissing her neck and shoulder, he slowly started pulling her strap down.

"No, Sasuke, please don't," Sakura pushed his hand away. "I'm begging you, let me go!"

"Sakura," Sasuke slowly said her name. "I won't let you go," He purposely changed the subject. "You know, romance happens more at night than in the day. But murders, they happen usually early in the morning." He slowly turned to her, his Sharingan activated.

"What do you...? Why are you...? No... No, Sasuke-kun... Please... No..." She moaned.

"I'm not going to do anything, I just felt like telling you that for... Future use..." Sasuke smiled evilly. "I think you should get some real rest."

He took Sakura's arm and led her back to the bed. He pushed her so she was laying down, and he covered her with the thin black silk blanket.

"Now, sleep," Sasuke's blood red eyes looked deeply into Sakura's bright green. Sakura's eyes rolled back into her head, and she slumped into the pillows.

"God, how many times must I do this to you, Sakura?" Sasuke sighed. Sakura shivered in her sleep, and Sasuke left the room.

Sasuke walked back down the empty staircase, and turned right, walking towards his rarely used kitchen.

"Might as well make her some food. Make sure she doesn't starve or anything," He whispered to himself as he opened the fridge.

Hmm, what to make, he thought.

The voice came back, sounding a bit disappointed. What, you haven't killed her yet?

No, he said back. Not yet. Maybe never. I don't know, when I look into her green eyes, something's there that I just can't explain...

I'd say someone's in love, the voice laughed.

In love? No, I can't love, Sasuke said, almost laughing out loud.

You... Can't... Love... The voice repeated.

That's all I've got to say on the matter, Sasuke pushed the voice away.

He looked around the fridge. There was nothing edible in the whole thing. Everything was either rotten or poisoned.

Great, Sasuke rolled his eyes. What am I going to do now?

He took out the ring of keys on his belt, and walked to the basement door.

I really hope there's something down here, he thought, trying to remember the last time he was down there.

He walked down, not expecting to actually find food. It doesn't matter to me if she doesn't eat, no big deal, Sasuke shrugged. I could honestly care less if she dies, but I'll have to have fun before she does... He shivered. I can't believe I said that...

"Ahh," Sasuke picked up a can of baby corn. "This'll do for now. Let's see," He checked the expiration date. "Only a few more days. She'll live, I guess."

He slowly walked back up the stairs, somewhat disappointed because he had actually found food.

As he dug through a drawer to find a can opener, he thought about how he would let Sakura go without anyone suspecting him, or her telling everyone.

"I dunno, maybe I'll knock her out and leave her in the forest by the village," He contemplated as he opened the can and placed the food in a small bowl. "Maybe when she wakes up, she will have either forgotten the whole thing, which is unlikely, or she might even think that she imagined it, which is just as unlikely."

He sighed.

"I've made this so hard for myself," He walked up the stairs, and quickly slipped into the room.

Sakura was still asleep, and as Sasuke looked at her, he imagined white wings spouting from her back. She looked so peaceful and happy. He wondered why.

"How can someone, such as you Sakura, who's in such a predicament be so calm about it? Most other women would scream or fuss, but you seem so... So... Relaxed... Tell me how? It's almost as though you've accepted your fate..." He pushed a few strays strands of hair away from Sakura's eyes as he sat beside her. "You act like an angel bringing peace to a dangerous beast. You almost make me feel happy, and confident. I almost do want to go back with you Sakura, but I mustn't... You don't understand."

He shook her slightly, and, minutes later, her eyes opened.

"Wha...?" Sakura mumbled. "Sasuke?"

"It's okay," He almost... Purred...? "I brought you some food."

"Mmkay..." Sakura sat up, holding her pounding head in her hands. "Wait..." She looked at the corn. "What did you do to it?"

Sasuke looked genuinely surprised. "What? Nothing! I didn't do anything to them. I just didn't want you to starve or anything."

Sakura snorted. "Okay," She took one. She was so hungry, she didn't care at the moment. If she wasn't as hungry, she would have thought it over. "Is this it?" She asked, after a few minutes of eating.

"Is that...? Oh... Yeah," For some reason Sasuke started feeling like he did when he was younger. Why was he feeling this way?

"Sasuke?" Sakura stopped eating and looked into his eyes, concerned. The Sharingan was gone, and something familiar was coming out of him. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," Sasuke stood up. He walked back to the window, trying to hide his face, cursing himself. "Do you want any water or something like that? I don't think I have anymore food... Sorry..." He grunted the last word as though he hadn't said it in forever.

"No, I'm fine, but you seem... Sick... Are you sure you're okay?" Sakura asked, getting up. He feet touched the cold floor, and she winced as she walked to him. She was honestly very surprised he hadn't tried anything horrible since she arrived. Yeah, sure he talked about it, threatened her and stuff, but he hadn't tried anything except to kiss her.

"Look, I'm fine alright? Just forget about me," This sounded like the Sasuke to Sakura.

"Sasuke..."

"Sakura, you know what? I've changed! I'll admit it for the millionth time. I've changed, got it?" Sasuke turned to her, pushing her approaching arm away. "Stop worrying about me, and start worrying about yourself! You don't even know when I'm going to do ANYTHING to you. I could kill you right now! Why do you trust me like this when you could die within the next five minutes? Why?"

"Because I know you won't," Sakura said calmly. She lifted her hand, and put it on the side of Sasuke's face. She felt rough skin, as though Sasuke hadn't shaved in a while. "I know Sasuke. There's a difference between me thinking that you're not going to, and knowing that you're not going to."

"I could," Sasuke warned. "You don't know how many people I've killed. You don't know how many women I've killed..."

"Women you didn't know," Sakura said sternly.

"Yeah... Just... Shut up! Okay? Shut up!" Sasuke pushed her hand away, looking away from her haunting eyes.

"Sasuke..."

"SAKURA!" Sasuke pushed her onto the bed. He hated it when she said his name. It hurt... So much...

Sakura jumped back up and clung to Sasuke's arm.

"You can change! And I know you will!" Sakura cried out as Sasuke attempted to pry Sakura off his arm. "You've been put into a spot that you can get out of! I'll help you! I'll help you escape even if it means ending my own life! Please come back to me! Please! I'm begging you!"

Sasuke looked down at the crying girl. If any other person had begged him to do anything, they would have died. If any other person had clung to him as she did, they would have died. But he couldn't kill her, no matter how many times he said 'I'm going to kill you,' He couldn't do it. He just couldn't.

Sakura looked up into Sasuke's eyes and gasped.

"Sasuke, please, don't..." She moaned as his Sharingan was activated once again. Those damn eyes... So many horrible memories connected with them... So many deaths and memories... Those Goddamned eyes that haunted Sakura for many, many years...

"Sakura," Sasuke sat down on the bed, looking truly stressed. He ran his hands through his hair, stopping halfway. He closed his eyes and slumped so he looked like a business man just home from work.

Sakura walked to Sasuke. She sat awkwardly beside him, not knowing what to do. She only had ever comforted one boy when he had lost his mother. She thought maybe she should do the same thing to Sasuke.

She took him in a tight embrace and held him. She didn't know why this felt so awkward. Possibly because someone so small was hugging someone so big.

"Oh, Sakura," Sasuke sighed. "I can't..."

"Can't? Can't what?" Sakura asked, letting Sasuke go and looking into his eyes as a mother would do to her son.

"Go back..." Sasuke said. His eyes were sad. This was the most emotion Sakura had even seen from Sasuke. Ever.

"Okay," Sakura took him back into her hug. Sasuke laid them down so they were looking in each others eyes.

They stayed like that 'til the sun was bright and high. The room was lit up, and so was the house. It was warm too, as though the black that was spread throughout the mansion was heating it up.

"Sakura, I will allow you to leave," Sasuke's hoarse voice broke through the silence. "I've decided that I can't keep you here any longer. I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry."

"No..." Sakura began.

Three loud knocks issued from Sakura's front door and she jumped. She lifted her head to look at her alarm clock. It was 4 in the morning. She grunted as she stood up and walked to the door.

She slowly undid the latch and opened it. No one stood in front of Sakura, instead, a note that was stuck under the doormat flapped in the early morning air. She picked it up, and turned, closing the door on the cold night air.

"That dream was strange," Sakura mumbled as she opened the little brown note in the envelope. "Oh, something about a meeting tomorrow. I thought it was something important."

Sakura crawled back into her bed and immediately fell asleep. When she awoke the next morning, she got ready for this 'urgent' medical meeting, but for the next several days, all she could think about was the mysterious man from her past.

I'm sorry if the ending was too horrible for you to encounter, but I remember watching a show that ended like that, and I liked the idea so I kinda transferred it to this. Sorry!

Ahem...

Sorry if it was bad. Apologies to all! Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry!

Review!
