"It didn't mean anything to me anyway. It was just a fun fuck for me."
Sakura sighed as those words played over and over in her head. It has been a week since things went sour with her and Sasuke. The first few days Sasuke called and texted her constantly asking to see her, but then the text and calls stopped coming. She stared at her phone, her eyes shooting daggers straight at it. Sakura hated the fact that she was upset he had stopped. Deep down she missed the secret meetings, the hidden looks he'd send her that would make her knees go weak, and the way way he made her feel so alive.
"Sakura, come down here now young lady." Sakura heard her mother yell, she looked at her phone for a second longer, then ran down the stairs to the sitting room where she knew her mother and father would be. When she arrived, her mother was sitting perfectly in a chair next to her father. By looking at them Sakura couldn't help but think how perfect they were as a couple. But she knew otherwise, they were only together because they were told to be. An arranged marriage, to say the least, there was no love between the two just the need the to be superior in the eyes of their peers. They were the perfect couple physically, financially, and status wise and they expected her to be the exact same way. It was all that mattered anyway.
"Yes?" Sakura asked.
"Such an informal way to address your superior. Have your teachers taught you nothing? That grammar of yours needs to change immediately!" her father scolded her. Sakura looked down in embarrassment. Her head bowed in respect, but deep down she wanted to be shriveled into nothing, disappear from this hell.
"Forgive me father and mother, it will not happen again." Sakura responded. Her parents were always looking for mistakes, from the smallest thing like grammar to the large size of her forehead. They demanded that she be the pinnacle of good breeding. As the only child of the Harunos, she was destined to be her family's prodigy. However, a part of her wanted something else.
"Make sure that this doesn't happen again at the reception, Sakura." her mother stated sternly. "Which brings me to the reason your father and I called you down from your room. We will be going to a gala hosted by the Hyuga family at the end of this month. The Uda family will be there, as well as other high class families. You will be on your upmost behavior and you will not be a disappointment to us Sakura. You will dress with what we deem fit and wear your hair in a way that will not make you look like disgusting trash. Do we make ourselves clear? As our daughter, from such a high ranking family, you are no ordinary girl. I suggest you start acting like it."
"Yes mother, I understand perfectly." Sakura said robotically.
"Also Sakura" her father said "Wear some form of makeup when we go."
"Good, now go to your room and complete your homework." her mother said. Sakura bowed to her mother and father before walking up the stairs to her room.
When Sakura finally got to her room she let out a breathe that she didn't know she had been holding in the entire time. Her parents always had a way of making her feel inadequate, as if she was a stain on their expensive satin clothes they couldn't get rid of. Why couldn't they understand that they were tearing her apart, day by day? Will they be able to look at her with love and pride instead of disappointment?
Sakura sat on her bed and looked at her phone checking to see if she got any messages from a certain raven haired bad boy. She sighed when she saw that she hadn't gotten any. Her whole life all she'd ever wanted to do was make them proud of her just once. She finally got what she wanted when she and Gyōgi started dating, but instead of wanting her parent's approval, now all she wanted was a boy her parents would never approve of.
"It didn't mean anything to me anyway. It was just a fun fuck for me."
She hated herself for wanting this boy so badly, even after he had spoken such cruel words to her. Why did she want him so badly, even when she was finally free of him, the guilt that surrounded her when she was with him never dissipated. The excitement of rebellion, the desire that awoke inside her when she was with Sasuke. Sakura had alway felt drawn to him, ever since the first day they met.
Sakura fell to her bed and reached for the hole hidden in her mattress. She pulled out a small silver lighter with the initial S and U written on it. Sakura held the lighter in her hands as it brought back memories.
(Flashback)
She had just gotten her class schedule and wanted to compare it with her boyfriend's, Gyōgi. She couldn't be more excited for this year and even though her parent had sent her to with words of belittlement, she still had this feeling that this was the year of something big. Suddenly the sound of giggling caught her attention. She looked into the room where it came from and what she saw broke her heart. There was her boyfriend in the arms of a half naked Ami. Ami had her leg around Gyōgi waist and her lips were locked with the lips of her boyfriend. Sakura felt like she was going to vomit at the sight. Not being able to stand the sight she ran away from the door.
'Why did he do that to her? Did what they have mean nothing to him?' Sakura thought. Tears poured from her eyes as she walked through the halls of the abandoned school. Sakura couldn't believe what she saw. When she found an empty looking classroom, she went in and cried her eyes out. She didn't know how long she was crying when she heard someone clear their throat. She turned around and found herself looking at the shadow of a boy sitting on the teacher's desk smoking a cigarette.
"Um...sorry" she said trying to dry her eyes. "I thought I was alone."
"So did I until I wasn't" he said taking a long drag of his cigarette.
"You're not suppose to be smoking that in here." Sakura stated. The boy looked up at her and chuckled.
"And your not suppose to be here at all, but here you are" he mocked.
"Oh." Sakura said, the boy was right, she wasn't supposed to be here. She heard the boy chuckle.
"Don't be scared little kohitsuji, I won't tell." he stopped in the middle of his sentence and took another inhale of his cigarette "But, in exchange why don't you tell me what's got you down."
Sakura froze, she didn't understand why this strange boy was so curious. He didn't seem like the type to really care if a girl was crying. In fact he seemed more like the type to be the cause of a girl's crying. This boy, he gave out a vibe that both scared and yet drew her in. She couldn't help but feel the need to pour her heart out.
So she told him everything from her life, walking on eggshells with her parents to seeing her boyfriend have a hot makeout session with Ami. Not once during her rant did the boy speak, he just stared at her in a way she couldn't describe. By the end of the her tale she was drowned in tears.
"And now I don't know what to do. I don't know if I should break up with him or pretend like it never happened. I'm just so angry and confused. I mean, why would Gyōgi do this. I've been such a good girlfriend." Sakura said. Once her tears had cleared, she could finally see what was behind the dark silhouette. The outline of broad shoulders, an aristocratic chin and those eyes. Eyes that could see through your very soul.
Suddenly he began to move. Like a predator he began to approach her, she froze. Whether it was out of fear or fascination she didn't know.
"Why don't you get even kohitsuji?" step by step he got closer.
"Wha-What do you mean?" she asked. Her voice shook, stuttering the words from her mouth. Sakura was starting to get nervous as the looming figure came to a halt. He had a look in his eyes that both excited and scared Sakura. Frightened by his actions she closed her eyes in fear. A gush of wind grazed her cheeks, when she opened her eyes his arms were on either side, trapping her.
"I mean, since he took it upon himself to have a makeout session with someone who isn't his girlfriend why shouldn't you do the same?" he leaned forward and whispered this last part into her ear. "I for one would be all to happy to help you with this."
His hot breath sent chills down Sakura's spine. His voice was so alluring and dangerous. Every inch of her brain told her to run as fast as she could away from this boy. Yet, it was too tempting to accept the promises that lay underneath his pleasing words, her heart wanted nothing more than to pull this boy's lips to hers. The boy chuckled at her nervousness. He pulled out a silver lighter and lit it. It was a small flame and it flickered, alluring, trapping Sakura's gaze.
"Did you know everyone has a fire inside them kohitsuji. Some are big bright flames that burn with rebellious passion, while others are small barely even noticeable. Because of so many years of being suppressed. Yours kohitsuji has become so small and dimmed. But I can see that your flame wants to grow and thrive. I can help you with that kohitsuji if you let me."
"I-I don't even know your name. "
"It's Sasuke."
"Sasuke..." she whispered letting the words rolled off her tongue " my name is Sakura."
He chuckled, then looked at her with eyes so intense she felt captivated. "Well kohitsuji, what's your answer?"
Sakura didn't know what to say. His words awoke something up in her that she didn't know she had. He gave her the lighter and as she stared at the flame the image of Gyōgi with Ami appeared in her head. An anger bloomed inside her. Sakura needed to think for herself, for once in her life she needed to be something other than the good girl everyone wanted her to be.
"Show me what my fire should be."
Before she could do anything else the boy crashed his lips. His lips moved against her as her tongue slide into her mouth. It was as if every cell in her body had awoken. Waves of electricity shot throughout her body. Sakura never felt this before this growing heat inside her. This feeling was to new and foreign. It excited her but also it scared her. She pushed Sasuke away as she tried to catch her breathe.
"Sakura." he said his eyes had an animalistic look in it. The way he said her name made her want to go back to kissing him.
"I can't, this feeling it's too much." she said backing away. She needed to get away from here. She ran out the room all the while hearing Sasuke call out her name.
(End of Flashback)
Sakura gave a quiet laugh remembering how it wasn't till she was home that she realized the she had his lighter. Half of her had been distraught because she knew that she was going to have to return the lighter. But, this new other half that had been awakened was excited at the idea of seeing Sasuke and what could unfold. She had spent days avoiding the boy at all cost until she had gotten the courage to go back up to that classroom. She could remember how her legs shook at each step she took towards the room. She had a hope that Sasuke might not be there but the scent of a cigarette told her otherwise.
