A/N: The names which are unfamiliar in this story are all made up. They are not characters in Naruto. They are probably those whom I hated in all the mangas I've read up to now. LOL.
Warning: This chapter may contain violence, rape and somewhat crazy, unreasonable characters. If you are under the age of 18 or are easily offended, please proceed with caution if you still wish to read further. Thank you.
CHAPTER 10: Stay
"N-no. Please. Nooo!" Sakura squirmed as she fought desperately to push Hyousuke off her. She couldn't believe this was happening! This was the very reason why she ran away from Sasuke.
'Sasuke. Oh god.' She sobbed as she remembered what happened to her earlier that night.
If she knew that this was going to happen to her, she'd rather have Sasuke do this to her than any other man, but there was no room for that now because of what was happening before her eyes.
She felt Hyousuke's rough hands claw under her dress, tugging at her flimsy underwear which he badly wanted to tear while he lavished her neck and her still clothed breasts like a mad man by planting forceful kisses on her skin.
"Help! Help me! Help!" Sakura screamed because she still couldn't release herself from the man's single handed grip.
"You can scream all you want but no one's going to hear you. This room's sound proof, so by all means scream because it really turns me on."
A wave of doom flashed before her eyes the moment she heard what the man said. Her fear suddenly tripled upon realizing that she had no escape.
Why? Why was this happening to her? If only she hadn't stepped foot in Konoha then none of these would have happened. If only she went home straight that day, then she wouldn't have met Sasuke!
Uncontrollable tears now escaped her eyes as Hyousuke continued to drag his hands around her body.
"Perfect! Perfect!" He grinned as he tore her dress apart, revealing her perky breasts and porcelain skin.
"I'll be taking the money you make from prostitution. You're going to make me rich! But first, let me train you." The man exclaimed as he released her hands from his grip only to use them to cup her breasts as he sucked on her skin.
"No! Stop! Stop this!" Sakura struggled as she involuntarily arched her back when she felt the man's filthy mouth on her skin.
This allowed her to inch her way up the sofa until she successfully grabbed a hold of the vase which was on top of a small table right beside the sofa. She then used all her strength to smash the medium sized porcelain vase on the man's head which resulted to him, screaming in his pain as the shattered pieces rained on them.
Hyousuke's hands immediately let go of her body to cradle his wounded head. That's when Sakura used such opportunity to deliver a powerful kick on his mid-section until she was able to scramble her way out from under him.
"You, bitch! Get back here!" The man bellowed as he ran after Sakura who was scrambling her way towards the door. Fortunately for him, he was able to grab the hem of her tattered dress, successfully tripping her until he was once again on top of her.
"Get off me!" Sakura screamed as she clawed at his face, refusing to be trapped by him once again. However, her feisty nature pissed the man off that he no longer held himself back when he slapped Sakura's face with the back of his hand.
That's when the door slammed open and multiple men clad in black suits filled the room in mere seconds as Hyousuke's heart temporarily stopped beating.
There by the door stood one of Konoha's most powerful man, Uchiha Sasuke—and the cold piercing glare he had in his eyes could not be denied.
Hyousuke immediately scrambled to his feet as he faced the man in the charcoal suit.
He couldn't deny the trembling feeling that coursed through his body as he tried to maintain eye contact with the head of the Kyodaija.
"U-Uchiha-sama!" He gulped while he tried to straighten his disheveled clothes.
"What services could my lowly shop do for you?"
By this time, one of Sasuke's men entered the room, dragging behind him one of Hyousuke's women, Yuzuya.
"Hyousuke! Hyousuke! Help me!" Yuzuya screamed, but she was shoved in front and was kicked in the back of her knees, forcing her to kneel before everyone inside the room.
The woman screamed in pain while Hyousuke nervously chuckled.
"I...I don't think...uhh... I apologize if she isn't to your liking, Uchiha-sama but! Haha! My humble shop had just received a really good woman!" He enticed Sasuke as he glanced towards Sakura who was crouched in one corner, hiding her body from the rest.
Hyousuke was about to take a step towards Sakura when he heard the click of a gun and saw that Sasuke really had one pointed at him.
"What's the meaning of this? What's wrong my Lord? I'll...I'll give that woman to you for free! Just don't..."
But Sasuke's glare intensified as few simple words left his mouth, sealing Hyousuke's immediate death.
"That's my woman."
"Wha?!"
Sakura covered her ears and cowered from the sight but the sound of the gun shot still penetrated her to her very core.
When she found the courage to look at the scene, she saw Hyousuke's lifeless body on the ground, while his blood seeped through the carpeted floor.
The next thing Sakura heard was the scream of the woman who brought her to the shop as she clawed her way towards Hyousuke's dead body. But even before she could reach him, another gunshot reverberated through the air as another lifeless body fell on the floor.
Sasuke had just shot the woman whose body fell a few inches away from Hyousuke, and Sakura watched how the blood of the two dead bodies co-mingled until it became like a one big puddle at the center of the room.
Sakura then felt something warm cover her shoulders and realized that a coat had just been placed over her body. But when she turned to look, Sasuke was already a few steps away with his back turned on her.
"Make sure to clean this mess up." He ordered before he stepped out of the door and walked away.
Sakura was still trembling from what she had just witnessed, but the warmth of the coat that enveloped her gave her strength to run after Sasuke.
"Sasuke! Wait! Sasuke!"
Sasuke stopped in his tracks as he heard Sakura call his name. However, instead of turning around to face her, Sasuke suddenly punched the rough wall which startled the woman behind him.
"Why?" He whispered under his breath.
"I—I..."
"Were you really that desperate to leave for you to sell your body like this?!"
"What?! No! You're mistaken!"
"I could give you anything, Sakura. Anything. Money, power, fame. Just name it. Just...don't do this…don't leave. Stay."
Sakura was a little taken aback by what she heard. She had not expected to hear such a thing from a man who holds so much power in his hands, he could practically get everything he wanted.
But here he was, begging for something he could obviously take by force.
Sakura had never felt something like this before. For someone who spent her waking life working and living for another, no one had ever made her feel so important.
So her heart couldn't help but ache when she saw the sincerity in Sasuke's eyes when he faced her as he said those words.
Her heart suddenly screamed his name notwithstanding the fact of what he just did before her eyes.
Yes, she was scared. So scared of the reality that her heart was beating for a man who was so dangerous. One who had no second thoughts on pulling the trigger. One who could probably dump her like a trash if he wanted to.
But all those things vanished when he asked her one question.
"Tell me…how can I win over your heart?"
Surprised by his words, Sakura lost all the things she wanted to ask as her heart took over her actions, ran towards Sasuke, cupped his face, and kissed him without any reservations.
"I don't know what's happening anymore. But if there was one thing I'm sure of...it's that, I want your warmth and nothing more." She whispered on Sasuke's lips as the latter held him close like he never wanted to let her go.
Kakashi stepped inside the room where the two dead bodies lay.
He went near Sai when he saw his brother studying the corpse of the man Sasuke just shot.
There was a clean bullet right in the middle of his forehead, but aside from that, there was also an evident head wound and multiple scratches on the man's face.
"Looks to me like the woman put up a fight." Sai calmly stated as he nudged the corpse with his shoe after standing up.
"Whether the woman put up a fight or not, this man's dead anyway. What? With all the fraudulent accounts on their records? This shop owes the mafia thousands! It was only a matter of time before we found out about this." Genma exclaimed as he sat himself behind the dead owner's desk, shutting the accounting books as he looked at all the uniformed men who began to 'clean' the mess away.
"Well maybe, if you weren't so lazy on collecting mafia money, it wouldn't have escalated to this extent." Naruto pointed out as he too, entered the office.
"Let's not blame one another." Kakashi suddenly spoke. "Let this be a lesson to all those who conduct business in our territory to observe our rules strictly or else."
"Agreed." The other three responded in unison.
After a while…
"Now where did Sasuke bring that little lady? He's selling her right? One plane ticket for a night of fun?" Genma snickered as he played the unlit cigarette with his fingers…when Naruto spoke again.
"I wouldn't joke that way if I were you."
"Huh? Why not?"
"Let it go, Naruto. I also wanna see him get shot in the head." Kakashi quipped before exiting the room with a smirk.
