Chapter 9 - Winning her heart back

Sasuke still stood on the bridge not knowing what to do, he suddenly thinksI know I don't deserve her, but I'm going to try and win her back he spots Naruto up ahead and runs up to him and then as he goes closer he walks casually "Naruto" he calls plainly.

Naruto frowns "What do you want Sasuke?" Sasuke smirks and dismisses the question,

"Nothing like a big welcome home from your team mate, but that's not why I here, you have training with Sakura tomorrow right?" he looks at Naruto and Naruto looks at him suspiciously,

"yeah…why?"

Sasuke shrugs "I need you to switch with me"

"What?! Why should I?!" Naruto yelled annoyed.

Sasuke laughs "Look Naruto, I'm against Kakashi and I've already faced him lots of times before…" Sasuke smirks "…maybe I'm always being put against him because I can actually do him some damage" Naruto shakes his fist at Sasuke,

"Oh yea! Well that's not true! I could do him more damage than you!" he yells. Sasuke laughs,

"whatever"

"It's true! I'll prove it when I'm training with him, you can switch and face Sakura, but Kakashi sensei is mine!" Naruto yells fire flaming in his eyes. Sasuke smirks and walks off,

"hmm..loser" Naruto hears and yells,

"SASUKE!!" but Sasuke ignores him.

The next morning Sakura is waiting at the training grounds looking ahead "Of course he's late, It's Naruto" she frowns pulling her gloves on tighter and she sees a shadow behind her "Finally it's about…" she turns around and stops seeing Sasuke "…time" she looks at him "Sasuke! What are you doing here?" she glares.

"Look me and Naruto switched so he's facing Kakashi now" Sasuke states.

"Well he forgot to mention that little detail to me" she grits her teeth and turns starting to walk away, Sasuke grabs her wrist,

"Sakura wait!" he tries.

"Get your hands off me!" she glares, yanking her hand away from him. Sasuke steps back a little,

"Sakura I'm sorry, look I wish I could turn back time and…" he starts,

"And I wish you'd fall on your head and drown in your own barf so I guess we're both disappointed" she interrupts bitterly. Sasuke looks at her,

"Sakura" he looks annoyed and without warning she slaps him hard across his right cheek,

"Don't talk to me like we're friends! We're not friends, we never were! You've lost that privilege if at all remotely" she glares. Sasuke holds his cheek,

"I deserved that I know but Sakura…" he steps towards her and she steps back,

"JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" she yells upset and quickly runs off. Sasuke sighs and slumps to the ground,

"What's it gonna take?" he frowns.

Sakura angrily paces across the bridge muttering "the nerve of him!" she kicks a leaf out the way of her path and sighs leaning over the bridge railing, looking into the water her reflection looking back at her, she sharply moves her head to look away and a tear falls "he was the only way…he owns my heart no matter what" suddenly two hands hold her arms from behind and spins her around, she looks up startled and sees Sasuke.

"Sakura?" his strong voice starts "have you been crying?" he looks concerned. She looks down,

"Why?"

Sasuke looks confused "hmm? Why what?" She takes a deep breath,

"Why…wont u go?" Sasuke steps closer,

"You know why…" Sakura looks up confused. Sasuke smiles "…Sakura I…I love you" he looks into her eyes. Sakura has a hint of gleam in her eyes but quickly shakes her head,

"No, no you don't" she says. Sasuke nods and caresses her cheek,

"yes I do" Sakura smiles as his warm hand touches her cheek but she steps away from him quickly shaking her head,

"no you don't, all my life Sasuke I have wished that you would notice me even love me, but you always ignored me, I felt no affection, I looked into your eyes and saw your soul and it blinded me with nothingness and that scared me more than you can imagine" she looks at him. Sasuke looks shocked,

"Sakura…I've changed, I'm not the person I was before I…I know I cant say anything to make up for how I treated you, but I was trying to resist temptation" he says warmly. Sakura frowns,

"Temptation?! Is that what I am to you?" she runs a hand through her hair in frustration "God! I never asked for this! Any of this!" she turns away from him "I just wanted you to love me for me, I have done nothing but show you my affection and you couldn't even return any and now you turn round and tell me I'm temptation, something for you to use and discard like I'm nothing?" Sasuke walks over to her and wraps his arms around her waist and she turns around looking up into his onyx eyes,

"I'm sorry I really am, but it's nothing like that, I meant as in being around you just made me want you so much and I had to control my urges, I just didn't want you to get hurt" he says. Sakura feels her defences weakening,

"why did this have to be so hard? All my efforts to hate you failed, I just cant" she sighs.

"Then don't and allow me to make up for lost times" he places a hand on her cheek and leans in kissing her softly on the lips, Sakura returns the kiss wrapping her arms around his neck deepening the kiss. Sasuke grips round her waist tighter bringing her closer and kisses her with a fiery hunger massaging her tongue with his dominating the kiss. Sakura plays with his tongue and playfully sucks his lower lip, he smirks letting out a growl backing her up against the bridge railing kissing down her jaw line to her neck and sucks it while his hands roam down her body rubbing a finger up and down her inner thigh. Sakura gasps and smiles "I love you Sasuke Kun" Sasuke stops and looks at her moving a strand of hair out of her eyes and smiles,

"and I love you Sakura Chan" he kisses her on the lips and moves to whispers in her ear "you taste like strawberries" Sakura giggles,

"why thank you" she looks at him and smiles "well this has been great really but it's getting late I must be going" she pouts and pecks him on the lips "but I shall see you tomorrow" Sasuke laughs,

"well you better, group training you best be there to keep me sane…besides you're the one I really want to be around when things get rough" he winks. Sakura blushes hard,

"Sasuke kun!" she gasps playfully pushing him back, he steps back smirking,

"I know you'd love it anyways would you like me to walk you home?" he asks. Sakura smiles and shakes her head,

"no I'm fine thank you" she waves bye and walks home and he watches her go and when she's out of sight turns to do more training. Sakura skips happily down the street thinking I am the happiest girl in the world no one can ruin my mood suddenly someone grabs her from behind and she struggles but they're too strong, she tries to scream but the person puts their hand over her mouth to stop her and a low cruel voice says "evening my dear" then she is slowly dragged away.

:O poor Sakura! She's being kidnapped! Sasuke save her:( poor Sakura just when she was all happy and this has to happen to her! Damn u person who did this! 'curses person' lol
