Chapter 38 – Sakura's Chapter (Part 6)

Prom was so much fun. I felt bad that I had to reject Lee again but I think he took it pretty well. When I got home, my parents were already a sleep and the Uchihas were back at their house. I went up to my room and started to get out of my prom dress and out of my rather uncomfortable shoes. I wiped off my make-up and washed my hair. I got into one of my night gowns and went to my window just to look outside. It was a beautiful night. The sky was clear, the moon was big and the stars were twinkling just right. I glanced over to the Uchiha house. I saw through the tree branches Sasuke-kun's room window. The light was off which was understandable since he had probably gone to sleep once he got back from his visit at the university.

I was so glad Sasuke-kun was home. I was afraid he would stay away from his parents forever, I mean almost didn't go see his mother on our birthday. I had to practically force him to go.

"Are you going to see her?" I asked him once he read his letter and told me what it said.

"No," He put the letter down.

"Why not?"

"I don't want to see her."

"That's terrible, Sasuke-kun. She's your mother. She's going crazy without you at home."

"Hn."

He made me so mad. I loved him but sometimes he was a butthole.

"Sasuke-kun, I know you had a fight but it is really worth ruining your relationship with your parents?"

He didn't answer me.

"Are you trying to prove a point to them? Are you trying to prove that you're immature?"

"I'm not immature," He reacted.

"Then go see your mother. You don't have to go home or anything. You can prove you're right later but just see your mom. She misses you so much."

He just scowled at me. I hated how he was being such a jerk. I hated that he was avoiding his parents and was not home where he belonged. I hated that he only scowled at me and did not listen to what I was advising him to do.

"Be a man not an asshole," I left him alone. When I came back to apologize to him, he was gone. I learned later that Sasuke-kun had gone to see his mother. I was very pleased. I was even happier when he came home. I was so very happy. He was even a little nicer to me then but after I accepted Rock Lee's prom proposal he became a jerk again. I only accepted Rock Lee because I knew Sasuke-kun had that meeting on prom. I wished he had gone with me…

When I woke up the morning after prom, I went downstairs to see Mikoto and my mom with breakfast and anxiously waiting for every details about prom. Even though I didn't go with Sasuke-kun, Mikoto was very excited. I told them what I could earning squeals of delight and anecdotes about their own proms. I turned the question on to Mikoto so I could find out about Sasuke-kun.

"His coach brought him last night about an hour after you left for prom. He had a good time, I think. I wished it had been a different day. I wanted him to go to prom with you!" Mikoto pouted.

"That would have been nice but I had a great time with Lee," I made sure to mention my great date.

"He seemed like a sweet boy," Mom nodded.

"Well, I'm going to get dressed and go to Ino's," I left the table. I got dressed in my most comfortable shoes, not too tight jeans and t-shirt. It was nice to be all dolled up for prom but doing that was kind of stifling and painful. I wished my motherly figures goodbye and walked out the door. I saw Sasuke-kun leaving his house.

"Sasuke-kun!" I waved to him and ran up to him despite my feet hurting. He looked at me and kept walking. I walked by him.

"How was the university?" I asked.

"Fine. How was your prom?"

"Great," I smiled. He didn't look at me.

"So are you and Rock Lee dating now?" he asked.

Was Sasuke-kun…jealous? I smirked a little at the thought.

"Well…he is a lot of fun and he did ask me to be his girlfriend. He's very polite and sweet and really likes me," I pretended to ponder if I should date Lee.

"What did you tell him?"

"What?"

"What did you tell him when he asked you to be his girlfriend? Yes? No?"

"Oh…well, I said-wait why do you care what I said?"

"I don't."

I giggled, "Are jealous, Sasuke-kun?"

"Jealous? Me? Of Fuzzy Brows?" He laughed harshly.

It wasn't that funny.

"I just wanted to know whether or not I would have to see that stupid guy around here a lot," He gave his reason.

"Oh..." I looked down, "I said 'no' to him."

"Aa."

"I told him I couldn't date him because I love you, Sasuke-kun. My feelings are not easily changed," I reminded him.

"You're annoying," He groaned.

"Why am I annoying? Because I tell you that I love you? I'm just being honest and upfront about my feelings, Sasuke-kun," I got in front of him and made him stop. He glared down at me.

"Get out of my way," He ordered.

"Not until you tell me why you think I'm so annoying?"

He pushed me out of the way and walked surprisingly quickly toward the park.

"Sasuke-kun, you better tell me!" I ran after him. He ignored me and kept walking but I stayed at him. I would not let just ignore me.

"Sasuke Uchiha, you tell me right now!" I smacked his back. He turned to me with the most murderous glare I have ever seen. He began stepping close to me making me back up until I ran into a bench. I fell down into the seat. He was glaring and breathing a little heavy. I didn't know what he was going to do. He grabbed my shoulders roughly and he -
