A/N: Shout out to LB Cat and Lamjung. Thanks for the consistent reviews. 3
Sakura felt her heart flutter dangerously as Sasuke touched her face. He was trying to seduce her. And honestly, he couldn't be any more obvious that he wasn't ACTUALLY interested in her. But even knowing that he was acting still made her knees feel weak and her heart all gooey.
But She wasn't stupid.
If Sakura had one hobby, it was watching Sasuke. And she knew for a fact by all that Sasuke watching, that Sasuke liked to watch Hinata. And lately, it seemed Sasuke had become more and more interested in capturing Hinata's attention. Sakura knew how this game worked. She had been playing it herself for basically her whole life. Sasuke wanted to make Hinata jealous.
But one thing Sakura has learned playing the game was that trying to make someone who wasn't interested in you jealous was a really dumb plan.
Sasuke was talking and honestly she couldn't focus on what he was saying. Her mind and heart were racing with the thought of what she was about to do. She was a bit scared, excited, but mostly...calm. But, she had had this idea in her head about her future with this man for so long.
And somewhere down the line, she had become so twisted.
But she...didn't care...maybe a long time ago she would've. Sure, she was a bit worried about what Sasuke would think of her. But once she killed off Hinata and could finally perform the love spell none of it would matter. Only she would matter to him.
A shiver went down her spine at the thought of that. Tonight she would make Sasuke love her. Whether he wanted to or not.
"Sakura?"
She blinked, snapping herself back into the moment. He was looking at her with one brow raised. A blush instinctively coated her face. "Yes! I'll be your girlfriend!"
Sasuke nodded his head slowly. He got this far and now... He really didn't know what to do. How exactly did one segway from seducing a girl, to getting her to reveal her secret witch hideout? And honestly, he was even more surprised by how quickly he won her over. Sure he knew she had a crush on him but he didn't expect it to be...so easy?
He was hella suspicious. Like crazy suspicious.
"Sasuke. I want to show you something…" Sakura muttered, her face was bright pink and she was fidgeting a bit in her seat.
"...What do you want to show me?" Sasuke asked. He fidgeted a little, was she about to try and seduce him or something? Sakura was pretty but honestly, he wasn't into that. He never really liked her before but now, the overly sweet scent of her blood was throwing him off. He didn't like sweet things.
Sakura sighed, twisting her hands together in nervousness. "Look...I… well if I show you this you can't freak out ok?"
...No fucking way. Was she about to tell him her 'secret'? Sasuke furrowed his brows. This, couldn't be going that perfectly right?
"What is it?" He asked. She looked a bit nervous, so he decided to give her a push.
"We're together now you can tell me anything, Sakura." He threw his arm over her shoulder, trying his best to give her a reassuring smile. She nodded her head slowly in agreement.
"Ok...I think it's best I just show you."
Sasuke was beyond skeptical. But he had to see where this would go. Sakura stood up leading the way. She took him into the kitchen, stopping in front of the fridge.
"You want anything to eat?" She asked pulling it open and rummaging through its contents. He raised his brow. Before he could even answer she pulled out three onigiris wrapped in saran wrap on a plate.
"Alright come on." She giggled, handing him the plate and opening a door he assumed was a pantry.
It wasn't, actually, and a very innocent carpeted set of stairs was revealed leading down into some unlit basement.
Sasuke could hear her heart rocketing in her chest but Sakura was a master at deception, her face perfectly trained, a cutesy smile and rosy cheeks still masking her true intentions.
Hesitantly he looked down at the plate of onigiri. Perfectly rounded triangles with a sheet of seaweed at the bottom. They were very simple, very cute.
Sakura smiled, tilting her head a bit to the side. "They're tomato filled."
Sasuke smiled back. His instincts screaming at him to get the hell out of there.
"If she finds out you're helping me, I doubt she'll kill, you but it won't be pleasant." Sasuke frowned thinking back on Hinata's words. Had Sakura figured out what was going on?
Sakura motioned for him to go down the stairs first.
"No light?"
"There's one at the bottom." Sakura laughed, patting his back. "Don't tell me the big bad Sasuke Uchiha is afraid of the dark?" She squeezed his arm.
Sasuke looked at her from the corner of his eye. She stared back. Waiting for his next move.
If she did catch on and was planning on trying something, he would just kill her right then and there. Hinata would just have to be mad at him but she was a smart girl, she probably already had a plan b, c,d, and e. With that resolved he steeled his nerves.
He took a step, careful to make sure Sakura was still right behind him
The deeper they walked Sasuke felt his senses become more and more… dull. It was like everything was wrapped in 30 layers of tissue paper. Everything he could smell or hear came out muffled and mute as if it had gone through some sort of filter. The darkness unsettled him the most. He had assumed with his awakening his eyesight would've made the darkness a little more discernible. But it was as if all the light had been sucked out.
He stopped, fear itching its way up to his chest.
"Sakura?" He questioned, turning around.
She was a few steps behind him. The light from the kitchen seemed like a small circle far off in the distance, casting her in an ominous glow behind her head. She was smiling but her teeth and apple green eyes seemed to be too bright as they shined like beacons across the dark shadows of her face. Her pupils were shaking almost as if she were on drugs as she shook silently.
She was laughing.
"Don't be so scared, it's just deeper than it looks!"
He nodded. But made no move to continue down the steps.
"What's down there?"
She stepped forward, the shadows caused by the light consuming her face completely. He could make out her outlines as she stopped at the step above his, and leaned in close to his ear.
"It's my favorite spot in the whoooole house." She then took his earlobe in between her teeth. Sasuke tried to stay still, his nerves going crazy as she slowly slid her tongue over his ear.
"I like to have lots of fun down here…."
Sasuke gulped. Was she trying to insinuate this was her sex dungeon?! He was not going to pimp himself out over the sake of a book.
She placed her hands on his shoulder, urging him on.
With a deep breath, Sasuke willed himself to move. The staircase made a turn and the glimmer of light from the kitchen door was lost.
With a steady hand Sakura guided him through the darkness, they had entered what he assumed was the basement, and she was leading the way. Her hand left his shoulder, and he felt lost and cold without it guiding him through the unnatural darkness. His hand instinctively went out, trying to catch her wrist before she could completely leave him. But she had already disappeared.
"Sakura!?"
"Just hold up a second! I'm turning on the lights!" He heard her giggle somewhere to the left. He put his free hand out, gently feeling for the walls or any objects in his way as he tried walking in the same direction he heard her voice in. His hand touched what felt like was brick so he leaned in, using the wall as a guide.
He jerked to a stop when he felt something wet along the wall.
The lights flickered on with a snap and a heavy hum.
The plate of onigiri fell, shattering against the floor.
Hinata snuggled deeper into her pillow, making a mental note to get better pillow covers as the fabric was a little stiff and itchy.
The girl shot up ramrod straight, her eyes confused and shocked as she looked around, trying to take in her surroundings.
"Hey! Your finally up!" Naruto laughed, he pointed at her face with a smirk, "Slept good didn't you."
He had glasses on and a creased up manga was sitting next to him.
She reached up feeling her face, she could feel the imprints of the hemline of his jeans scrawled all over her face. She looked down at his lap where a small dark spot laid near his inner thigh.
"Yea I know, you drool."
A blush so red engulfed her face as she tried to sputter out some type of apology.
"Hey! It's fine." A small smile on his face as his eyes grew a little distant. "An old friend once told me I drooled in my sleep too." He laughed again, this time his smile reached his eyes.
Silence spilled between them as Naruto looked like he zoned out.
"W-what...um-" She cleared her throat. Hinata always hated when she stuttered. "What are you doing?"
Naruto looked up, a confused look on his face before realization kicked in. "OH!" he laughed, picking up the manga. "You were knocked out so I was just catching up on some reading!"
He held the book up to eye level. It was Maruto Appuden volume 37. A red-haired Maruto with his signature fiery red hair and blue eyes smiled at her from the cover, he had one arm high in the sky with his thumb up and another wrapped around his blushing green-haired teammate.
"That's my favorite manga!"
Naruto raised a brow. "Really? Maruto isn't all that well known."
"Oh my gosh yes! It's so underrated! My favorite character is Miyumi!" She reached over, pointing at the green-haired girl on the cover. "She's so sweet but a total badass! Her hand to hand combat skills are super overlooked!"
Naruto's eyes widened in shock. Eagerly he turned to face her on the couch, pulling on leg up to sit on as he gave her his full attention.
"But I absolutely ADORE Maruto, he's so kind and loud and energetic! I love his never give up attitude!" She seemed excited leaning in after her confession.
"My favorite has gotta be that old man Jambuka! He was too cool, and his control over salamanders?! I wish I could do that! When he summoned that giant salamander to fight Discomfort I was too pumped!"
Hinata almost jumped in excitement. "Yes! And those panels omg! They were drawn so brilliantly! It's like I could feel the power and significance of the moment in real life! Let me tell you when I thought Jambuka was dead but they revived him in the Akatshii arc I was so pumped!"
"Don't even get me started on the Akatshii! When I thought they killed Kabashu Sensei I nearly lost my mind!" Naruto growled with mock anger
"Same! But I knew there was no way! Kabashu is just too elite to die!"
As they laughed together, Naruto didn't even realize how close she had gotten to him till her hands were on his face. With a jerk, he pulled back.
His glasses were now in her hands though as she curiously studied them in her hands.
"Hey give those back!" He reached out to grab them but she stood up away from him.
"You… need glasses?" She muttered, dancing away from Naruto as he got up to try and chase her down. Naruto huffed, she kept running in circles around the couch and he was honestly getting irritated.
"Hey! Come on! Those are expensive you know!"
He jumped over the back of the couch, pulling her into a heap on the carpeted floor. She laughed, tucking the glasses onto her face as she rolled over on her back. Her eyes started to water looking through the surprisingly powerful prescription glasses
Naruto was on top of her, face red and surprisingly he was… squinting.
"I thought demons had perfect..well everything?"
With a roll of his striking blue eyes, Naruto snatched the glasses off her face, rolling to the left and flopping on his back next to her. Inquisitively Hinata turned on her side, resting her chin in her hand as she looked at the demon beside her.
"You are a demon... right?" Hinata asked. Every book, every class with her father, every ancient spell, they all spoke of how demons were the pinnacle of health. Their strength, stamina, and regenerative capabilities were so elite most creatures couldn't even keep up. Why was his eyesight so bad if he was a demon?
Naruto glanced at her through his peripherals. Her face was still flushed a little pink but her eyes meant business. Unblinking and calculating as she observed him from her spot by his side. The milky depths of her eyes seemed to swirl and churn like a white rocky ocean. He gulped, feeling a little unnerved.
Sometimes Hinata wasn't all there…more so it wasn't all her...it made sense considering her circumstances. In a way, he guessed he could relate to her.
"My father… he was a-"
Her eyes widened
The sound of his phone ringing went off and he looked down at his pocket. Sitting up he grabbed it, taking a peek at the caller ID.
Naruto turned to her, his fingers to his lips signaling her to be quiet before answering the facetime call
"Hey Baby!"
"You can cut the shit."
Hinata noticed as Naruto's eye twitched just a tad, the smile still plastered on his face.
"Guess who's in my basement right now!"
Hinata stood up, a scowl on her face.
"Who might that be?"
"SASUKE FUCKING UCHIHA! Naruto he's so fucking hot I just can't right now! I mean I'm a little pissed, he obviously came over here to try and make that Hyuuga bitch jealous but still, he's here! I've got him trapped in my basement right now! Once you kill Hinata it's game time!"
Naruto glanced at her, one eyebrow raised.
"Anyways I gotta go! Sasuke's calling for me. But you can text her and get her to come to the spot. I'm on the way now so I can set up a bit before she gets there."
With that the phone beeped, signaling she'd just hung up on him.
"Can I ask, is this your big plan?" Naruto laughed, covering his face with his hand
Hinata huffed, a scowl on her face. "Not at all."
