Chapter 3: First kiss and Sunsets (Part I)

The sun is going down fast. It looked like a painting, surreal and beautiful. Back then I would have never noticed something as trivial as the way the sky looked. Really, the sun set and rose everyday, it was literally clockwork. But she managed to make everything different. Now when I see the sun set, I see that one streak of pink that looks almost identical to her hair. She loves sunsets.

Flashback (reminder that non-italics means not part of flashback..sorry if it gets confusing!)

Three days had passed from the night she left for her date. I still hadn't figured out who the hell he was and needless to say everything was getting on my nerves. There were so many things I wanted to know but I couldn't just ask. The most frequent question that kept coming to mind was: why the hell did I care what she did and whom she did it with? I've been asking myself that for longer than I'd like to admit.

I let out a frustrated grumble and ran my hand through my hair. Whatever, I have to just forget about it. 'Just pull yourself together when she gets here.' I told myself.

"Sasuke? It's me, Sakura."

That same damned line! Every time she gets here-- why the fuck can't she say something else! …well so much for pulling myself together.

She walked in with a casual summer dress and a smile. She screamed happiness in every way...it was damned annoying.

"How are feeling today?" she asked cheerfully.

"Not any differently than three days ago."

"Oh well..did you learn to eat any of the food I bought?" she was clearly trying to make some sort of happy conversation but I was not taking the bait.

She walked over to my fridge and opened it. She looked inside and laughed, "Really Sasuke, cooking is not that scary. If you can do the chuunin exams, you can cook too," she said mockingly.

"Whatever," I mumbled. In truth, I honestly had no idea what to do with that stuff but who was she to judge me? What ifI wasn't hungry?

She started pulling stuff out "Here I'll show you how to make a sandwich..its' pretty easy"

She was washing the vegetables in the sink and cutting things with knives thatI didn't even know existed in this house. She looked really content humming to herself and giving me some instructions here and there. Why was she so damned happy? Did she enjoy herself THAT much with that asshole. I couldn't take it. She was suffocating me with her cheerful humming, and her cheerfulsmile, and her cheerful dress. She was happy with something and what was worse, she looked ...ugh...pretty doing it. I just couldn't take it.

"Did you have fun?" Innocent question right?… not when I added a sneer.

She looked at me with her eyebrow raised, "With wh- Oh...It was alright" her cheerfulness seemed to seep out of her slowly as she sighed in a defeated sort of way.

I must admit, it made me a littlehappy to hear that pretty boy was less than fun.

"Hn"

"He was nice but he looked more at his own reflection in his spoon than at me." She stuck her tongue out in disgust.

I smirked. She had given me the perfect opportunity to blow some steam.For some reason, I hated the fact that she was going out with other guys andI didn't care about hiding it.I'm not very good at controlling my anger (If that wasn't obvious) and whateverI say to her now..shedeserved it for being so happy in my house."Serves you right."

"What does that mean?"

"It means you shouldn't just go out with random guys. You shouldn't be desperate about these things."

Her jaw dropped.She was definitely notcheerful anymoreand I smirked again…but not for long

"What exactly do you know about 'these things'? When was the last time the great Uchiha prodigy had an actual girlfriend?"

She was insulting me…AGAIN!.. What is with this woman?

"I've been with lots of girls!" I stated outraged

"I said girlfriends not whores!"

I was caught. I never thought that Sakura would say that and I certainly never anticipated what my answer would be for that so I said what first came to mind in my very irritated state, "You would know a thing or two about being a whore wouldn't you?"

As soon as the words slipped out of my mouth, I knew that I had crossed a line. Even though we were both fuming to the point of spitting fire, it was almost in a humoured way. But I had never been in a fight like that. A fight where I wasn't supposed to kill and we weren't using violence. In the past years, I had never been in a fight where I wanted to come out still friends with the enemy.

I didn't care when I was making her angry, anger I could deal with. Somehow, however, I knew that I had hurt her…and that was something I didn't know how to deal with.

I couldn't take it back. That was against everything that I was. Why should I care anyway? She deserved everything I said to her! It was her fucking fault that I was pissed off. If she weren't here, I wouldn't have spent three sleepless nights thinking about hurting that guy. For Christ's sake, I didn't even know who the hell he was!

"Why the hell do you care?" Her voice was quiet and calm in a lethal kind of way.

"Care about what? I never said that I cared!"

"Why bother asking if I had fun? What's your problem anyway? You've been acting even more like an asshole recently. And what gives you the goddamn right to call me a whore! He was a nice, good-looking guy that I met in the hospital who asked me out! Why can't I go out with him without being a whore?"

By the end of her rant, she was back to screaming at the top of her lungs and she had already given me ample time to re-establish my anger at her. I was ready to drop the whole topic but then she just had to bring up that piece of shit of a guy.

"I don't care what you do! Go out with your stupid guys from the hospital! I just find it irresponsible of you to be making plans when you have a job to do!"

"Don't you dare give me that bullshit! You know this is a joke of a job! If you weren't stupid and you didn't leave, I would not be wasting my time here babysitting you every three days when I could be helping people who might actually need me! Not to mention the fact that I finished looking you over before I left!"

I stepped up to her slowly and angrily and she started to back away. "Let's get this straight," I said, dragging out every word, seething with anger as I advanced. She was really pissing me off now.

"Whatever I decided to do before was something I had to do and it had nothing to do with betraying the village. Just because this stupid village can't trust me doesn't mean I want you here."

She continued stumbling backwards. She was breathing hard and even though I was mad as hell I couldn't help but notice the way her chest heaved as she breathed in and out erratically. I couldn't help but notice how her green eyes were burning with an angry passion and even while she was livid beyond belief, she managed to look gorgeous.

I stepped closer until she was trapped between my door and me. I towered over her and trapped her. I leaned in and breathed out inher ear and felt the shiver run through her body. "Listen to me closely, I am not the one who decided that I needed you here."

She contorted her face in anger again, ready to scream something else at me but I couldn't take it. She was just plain hot when she was pissed off and somehow, through all that anger that was still undoubtedly there, I leaned down and closed the distance between us.

I crushed my lips onto hers and pushed every inch of her body against the wall with every inch of my body. She let out a low moan. Oh how I loved women who gave in. Even though she was a well-trained kunoichi, her body was soft and ready to be moulded.

I moved my lips against hers using my tongue to sweep across her lower lip. She shivered again at the contact, this time against my body and I couldn't help but groan. She pushed her hands into my hair and I reveled in the feeling of her pulling me in as if she needed me more than anything. I tilted her head back even more trying to gain more access to her mouth. She tasted like vanilla and she smelled like cherry blossoms.

She was luring me in and I was already drowning. I wanted more and I tried to slant her head so that she was part her lips for mebut instead of opening her mouth for my entry, she slid her hands back down to my shoulders and pushed against me.

I didn't want to move, she was just teasing me. I pushed harder against her but she persisted. I pulled away and looked down at her with angry and confused,lust-filled eyes and was surprised to seethat the anger in her eyes had faded away…and so had the passion. It was all replaced by hurt so I backed away slightly but still trapping her.

"I can't….what are you doing?" she whispered.

Before I could reply, her hand left my shoulders and found the doorknob. She opened the door, turned around and ran.

I stood there completely stunned. I couldn't even register what had happened let alone run after her so I just stood there, staring at the spot where she had been just moments ago. Once again, I was left thinking 'what the hell is wrong with me?'

A few minutes later, I realized that I was still staring at that same spot with my door wide open. I swore under my breath and shut the door. I walked into my bathroom and turned the shower on at its coldest temperature. I needed it.

That was the first time we kissed. It wasn't romantic and it wasn't perfect. It was just one fuming idiot attacking a fuming but beautiful girl. Although I had hurt her, it was a moment that neither of us would have traded; it was a moment that only we could call our first kiss and that was what was important. Sometimes, I wish I wasn't such a jackass to her. Sometimes, I regretted a lot of the things I said to her but she always told me that she loved me and then I would stop regretting because I knew that no matter what I said, I loved her too

But now, that regret wouldn't go away.
