I'm sorry. Well, this one is extra long. I urge you to reply. And please check out my poll. It's for my story!
Lot's of love,
Anna
P.S This chapter is dedicated to Nandy :)
You really know what love is…
When you lose it…
There was an awkward silence among the table that night at dinner, but they were used to it by now. The brother's didn't even glance at each other and their father would pay no attention to the younger one.
"So how was school today, Itachi?" his father asked, breaking the silence. Itachi looked up from his plate and let out a small mumble. He looked over at Sasuke who was staring intently at him and then looked back at his food.
"I got an 88 on my English paper, dad." Sasuke said, putting a potato in his mouth. His eyes shifted towards his father who paid no heed and looked out to the window. Sasuke rolled his eyes and noticed how Itachi frowned at his father's response.
It was still all Itachi's fault as to why his father wouldn't talk to him.
"Did you rid yourself of that girl?"
"Is that all you care about?" Sasuke asked sternly, turning to his dad. His dad kept his eyes to the window and stayed silent. Slowly, he got up and picked up his plate.
"Goodnight, Itachi." He smiled, walking off, completely ignoring Sasuke.
"It's all your fucking fault dad doesn't even look at me."
"You didn't have to put the blame on yourself." Itachi mumbled, rolling his food around with his fork.
Sasuke let out a chuckle at his foolishness. "You still don't understand, do you?" Angrily, he slammed his hand on the table.
"Sasuke!" his dad yelled from the kitchen. "Don't bother your brother."
Sasuke angrily got up and knocked the plate to the ground. "You don't deserve to be called my brother." He whispered through clenched teeth.
Itachi stared angrily as his father ran out and observed the mess on the floor. He walked up to the 15 year old and grabbed him by the arm, squeezing it tightly.
"You clean up this god damned mess you understand?" his eyes flared angrily. He looked out the window to the setting sun. "This had better be cleaned by the morning." He warned, pushing Sasuke aside and stepping into his bedroom.
Itachi slowly rose and walked passed him with frustrating even-paced steps. He sighed and stopped, turning to his brother. He held out his hand to Sasuke, who was still on the floor, and looked to the ceiling. Itachi felt a small slap and when he looked down, Sasuke was getting up himself.
"I don't need you." Sasuke said, walking to his own room.
Porcelain
Irascible
You're really starting to get to me…
Naruto glared at Sasuke angrily as they stepped into the forest. Sasuke stood beside the cherry haired girl, his leg searing with pain. He was greatly frustrated and he just wanted it all to end. Everything in his life had been so hectic.
"Is everyone ready?" Sakura asked, energetically. She was really excited to be finally leaving. Sitting in that waiting room was very tedious.
Sasuke shoved his hands in his pockets and gazed out at the sun. Neji smiled at Sakura and Naruto looked ahead at the trees, a look of irritation all over his face. Sakura rolled her eyes and turned towards their path.
"So we have to travel to Chaisoon?" Neji pondered, his head cocking to the side. "Good, I need to meet someone there anyway."
"So I assume you know where it is?" Naruto asked plainly, his mood irritating and dull. "Why didn't we leave earlier? It'll be nightfall in a few hours."
"Because you healed only a few hours ago, Naruto." Sakura said exasperated.
"Yep. I've traveled there many times before." He placed his hand under his chin. "We should reach there in two days, including being in our vampire form."
Sakura's stomach grumbled, a sudden rush of hunger flowing through her. She had the great urge to suck human blood last night but withstood it with all her power. Luckily, Sasuke was there to help her through as well. She smiled at him and he gave her a skeptical look.
She walked along behind Neji as he led them through some thick forestry. "Chaisoon is this little village. Not many know of it."
"Hn." Sasuke mumbled; his eyes on the back of the blonde's head. Naruto had this slow limp and it began to frustrate Sasuke as he began to fall behind in the group.
"Hurry up." Sasuke said, turning to him. Naruto swore under his breath and looked at the black-haired boy.
"Does it fucking look like I can go any faster?!"
"Well why don't you try?" Sasuke triggered, his eyes flaring.
"Shut up, Sasuke." Naruto mumbled. "You piece of shit."
Sasuke stopped and turned to him, grabbing his collar. "What?" he demanded.
"I called you a piece of shit." Naruto said sternly, grabbing Sasuke's collar as well.
"Guys." Sakura said, rolling her eyes and stepping between them. "Can we just go?"
"No, it hurts when I walk." Naruto's voice changed from fierce to kind when he talked to Sakura. She smiled at him and nodded her head.
"Yes, you both are going quite slowly." Neji informed, now walking back to them. "You guys are probably still weak from the operation."
"Should we stop here then?" Sakura said, a bit unimpressed. They had only been walking for forty-five minutes and had basically gotten no where.
Neji sighed, agreeing. "Yes. We can wait till the sun sets fully and then go. As long as we're on the run, Itachi won't be able to find us."
"I wonder what's taking him so long." Sakura pondered, sitting on a nearby rock. "Shouldn't he be able to find us right away?"
"Who cares?" Sasuke said, sitting down away from her. She frowned at his unaffectionate actions. "We should be happy."
Naruto spit on the ground, turning away from the group.
"Well, hopefully, he won't find us." Sakura smiled, setting her bag down. "Let's set up camp?"
Neji walked over and helped her pull out the tent. He turned to her and couldn't help but gaze. Sasuke set his backpack down forcefully.
"Neji, come help me."
I want to say thank you.
"So will you show me?" Sakura laughed, looking confused. "I don't understand."
Neji chuckled and pulled out a paper. "You're pretty stupid for a human girl."
"Hey!" she yelled. "I'm not human anymore."
Neji quieted, locking eyes with her. "Yeah, I know."
She felt a bit awkward and handed him the pen. He blinked and began drawing the way to Chaisoon.
Sasuke was observing from not too far away. They saw him, but paid no attention. Sakura wanted to know exactly how to get there, just incase of an emergency. It didn't hurt to be completely prepared. The way they interacted seemed to be bothering the Uchiha.
Neji laughed, and Sakura punched him in the arm. Sasuke's nose tingled in fury. He barely noticed Naruto, who was approaching him.
The cerulean-eyed male quickly limped by, a water bottle in his hand, and stepped into the tent.
Sasuke nearly got up when he saw Neji reach over and push a piece of Sakura's hair behind her ear. He clenched his teeth angrily. What the hell did he think he was doing? Sakura looked up and began waving to the onyx-eyed man. Sasuke looked to the floor, his face glowing with rage.
Why was he being like this? Angrily, he got up and went to his own tent.
"Oh, that's how!" She giggled, folding the paper and putting it in her backpack. Neji continued to gaze at her. He had this look in his eyes. Sakura began to feel quite uncomfortable but smiled nonetheless. He smiled back, his face tinting a pinkish color.
"Sakura…." He mumbled, nervously.
"What?" she asked, completely oblivious to what was going on. He smirked, his eyes becoming soft.
"Your eyes…" she said absent-mindedly. She gazed in wonder at how clear they were. "I can see myself in them."
"Yeah…" he whispered, his voice becoming a bit high pitched.
"I wish I had eyes like that." She sighed, closing her own as if wishing they would change immediately.
"No." he answered quickly; almost too quickly. "Your eyes are…amazing."
Sakura blushed, wishing Sasuke could talk to her like that. "Thank you."
"Sakura…"
"Where did Sasuke go?" she asked, looking over to the spot he was at. Neji sighed and looked to the floor.
"He's in his tent."
She smiled and started to get up. Out of instinct, he grabbed her arm.
"Wait…" he said sternly. She looked over at him and widened her eyes when she saw the nervous look on his face. She held her breath hoping he thought there was nothing between them. He cleared his throat and then let go. "Nevermind." He said quickly, getting up also.
"Okay…" Sakura beamed, going over to see Sasuke.
Thank you for your hands…
So I could hold them when I needed them most.
"Sasuke?" she grinned, stepping inside. He was lying on his sleeping bag, his eyes up towards the top of the tent.
"Hn," he said, not giving a care.
She smiled and sat down beside him. "What are you doing?"
"Thinking." He said plainly, his eyes shifting to her.
"About?"
"Stuff." He said quickly, sitting up.
There was a silence. The quietness really calmed Sakura and she felt at ease.
"Sometimes… I think about my dad or even Ino. My life was very different before I met you."
Sasuke took this as a bad thing and looked away from her.
"It was so hectic and it was like my life was so boring. After I met you, things started to finally get interesting. I just really miss everyone." She sighed sadly, her eyes beginning to sting. A sudden image of her father appeared.
"We can go visit them, sometime." Sasuke suggested, hearing the crack in her voice.
"I guess. But I won't be able to see them."
"Well, me and Neji are here for you." He put emphasis on the word Neji, and the moment that name rolled off his tongue he felt a swish of frustration.
Sakura turned to him at the sound of the name too. Then she smiled. "Yeah, and same with Naruto."
Sasuke nodded absent-mindedly. He was thinking of ways he could torture the pure white-eyed boy.
"What were you really thinking about, Sasuke?" she inquired.
"Why do you care?" he snapped, raising an eyebrow.
"I just want to know." She smiled.
"Well I don't want to tell you." How could she be so touchy with Neji? Didn't she like him?
"Oh…" she paused. "Alrigh-"
"Go ask Neji. Maybe he'll tell you my story." He said sarcastically, his anger getting the best of him.
"I'd rather you tell me." She said confused at how he was acting.
"Sure." Sasuke pointed, turning to her. She flinched away from him in surprise.
"Are you alright?" her eyes began to wander. Maybe he saw the way Neji grabbed her arm.
He quieted down.
"Maybe, I should just go-"
"Fine, go to Neji." Sasuke said, thinking irrationally.
"I never said that!" Sakura stood up, looking down at him. "What is up with you and Neji?!"
"I should be asking you that question." Sasuke said calmly, glaring at the girl.
"What are you talking about?" Sakura asked, her voice distressed. Did he see?
"You think I don't see you two flirting all the time?" his voice was rising and it was beginning to irritate Sakura. He was acting as if there was actually something serious going on between them. As if he would give her the chance!
"What are you trying to say?" she bellowed, walking away from him.
"Why don't you go and ask Neji!" Sasuke yelled.
Sakura's mouth opened. She was flustered by his behavior. He was acting so…so….childish!
"Why are you so jealous all of a sudden?!"
He froze, the words hurting him more than his recovering wound. "I'm not jealous!"
"Well it certainly seems like you are!" she screamed. "You're jealous!
"I'm not jealous." His anger was rising.
"Then why don't you mind your own business."
"Then stay away from me." He stood up to show he was staid.
"I will!" she screamed, being as serious as he was. She couldn't care less what he thought. He was being so bothersome.
"Fine."
"You impassive bastard!"
"Shut up!" He crunched his fist. "Just go to Neji."
"I will!" she paced to the exit of the tent.
"Go!"
"I'm going!" she screamed. "And maybe I'll go with Naruto too since you think I'm such a whore!"
Angrily, he grabbed her arm and turned her to him. Onyx met jade and they gazed at each other for endless seconds. They felt the tension between them and she stared with fury into his eyes. They spoke not one word, only staring with irritation and resentment. All that could be heard was the rustling of the leaves outside and the two boys' soft voices from the other tent. Sasuke tightened his grip on her arm, his mouth curling into a snarl. Sakura furrowed her eyebrows, her face reddening with rage. She was like a fragile doll, and he just wanted to break her.
Abruptly, his eyes began to shift towards her mouth. Her pink lips were damp and her green orbs were vibrant and exuberant. Without noticing, he ran his hand slowly, but firmly, down her arm; making sure as to feel every part of it. She automatically closed her eyes, a new tension filling her body, and ran her free hand up his neck. His hands began to explore the sides of her torso, the anger and tension still within them both, but it seemed so right to be handling her the way he was at the time. He rapidly pulled her closer, and when she opened her eyes he was millimeters away. They looked intently at each other for merely a second before he forced his lips upon hers. He broke away, letting the feeling entice him and then pushed back, letting his mouth capture the sweetness of hers.
She tightened her grip on his neck, as if she had been waiting for this sensation, and tweaked courteously when she felt his teeth clamp on to her upper lip. She was still angry but she didn't have the strength and reason to pull him off. It, oddly, felt right and she was surprisingly enjoying every second of it.
With the same momentum, Sasuke pulled away from her mouth and began placing kisses at her cheek and jaw line. It was as if someone had taken control of his body. It was as if her delicate body was calling to him. He was really getting pleasure from this feeling and felt nothing could stop him. At the same time, he still felt that irritation against her but it just made him want her even more. He pushed her neck aside and began running his mouth across it, catching the familiar scent of a fresh summer field.
His hands pushed down to her lower back and he gripped the sides of her small waist firmly. She pushed herself closer to him, her other arm having a strong grip at his shirt and let her eyes close on its own will due to the sensual feeling at her neck. Her head moved opposing his so he could get more room.
It all seemed so natural.
He bit into her skin and couldn't help but smirk when he felt Sakura pull on his back. She made a small grunting noise which sent Sasuke deeper into his new craze. This was a perfect moment.
Both didn't notice how the sun was slowly setting and how the tent was getting darker by the second. Sakura suddenly jolted up as the force of her transformation hit her. Sasuke made his grip on her so tight, it was as if she couldn't breathe anymore. Using his strength, he pushed his lips again to hers and both began rampaging into one another. Sakura felt the tips of his canines grow on the inside of her lip and shut her eyes tighter at the feeling of hers. He let out a soft growl as he slid his tongue into her mouth and began to explore.
She stood stationary as the effects of her transformation took place. She wasn't as experienced and didn't have the strength to do anything while it took place. Sasuke walked her back to the end of the tent and forced a hand to her hair. She dug her nails into him as he pushed the free hand up her shirt; the feeling of his cold, pale skin making her jump.
She didn't want to stop.
She couldn't.
"You guys coming?" Neji yelled, in a husky voice.
Sasuke momentarily, froze, his hands still up her shirt and turned to the exit of the tent. Luckily, Neji was no where to be seen and he could barely smell him anywhere near.
The sudden realization of what he was doing hit him and he let go of Sakura, his hands moving to his sides. Sakura stood up straight and looked him in the eyes, trying to feel the anger that she felt before. It was hopeless. She cleared her throat, as if trying to make the situation less awkward. Though it was a great sensation, the timing could have been better.
Sasuke shoved his hands in his pockets and moved to the side to let her pass; he was still millimeters from her.
"Sakura?!" Naruto called, his voice sounding tense.
She had two options: one was to walk passed and act as if nothing happened or to actually react to what happened and show that she enjoyed it and that she'd probably like to experience it again. She looked over at him, his eyes gazing up to the top of the tent and sighed. There was no point telling him she liked it, he would barely even listen.
She began to walk forward, scratching the side of her head and suddenly stopped in front of him. Her green orbs shifted to his hands, which were very tight, as if he was holding something back. She took in a deep breath. She wanted to take the chance. She didn't want this to mean nothing at all, God, she wanted to feel his lips on hers again. Her stomach turned at the thought.
"Sasuke…" she whispered.
He looked down at her, a bit anxious that she was still standing in front of him. He began to subconsciously crack his knuckles.
"Um…" she began to redden. This was so unusual. "That was…"
Sasuke smirked, appearing in front of her again. "Shut up." He whispered, blowing lightly on her face. Before she could say anything, he leaned in and softly kissed her, letting it linger. Her cheeks were a rosy color when he released and he wasn't sure if that was a good thing but he didn't really care.
"Sas-" She started, but he was already gone and the only thing left was that tingling feeling in her stomach.
Thank you for your smile…
"Shit, hold on." Naruto cried, getting on his knees. His breathing picked up, the sun shining on his blonde hair.
"We're almost there." Sakura smiled benevolently, walking to him and helping him up.
"Why are you helping him?" Sasuke spat, glaring at him. "Leave him."
"Sasuke…" Sakura sighed, Naruto gripping her tight. Neji went over and helped him up also.
"Asshole." Naruto croaked, squinting in pain. "Die."
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "How far is it, Neji?" He was still heated at the Hyuuga.
Neji noticed his sarcastic tone but paid no attention to it. "It should be just down over there." He pointed, letting Sasuke carry on.
"Lemme take him, Sakura." Neji suggested, smiling widely. Sakura laughed, thankfully releasing herself from the boy and walking a bit ahead.
Sasuke pushed away a tall branch, the city finally coming to view. "Who do we have to see here anyway?"
Sakura stepped beside him. "Well, Lady Hyuuga said we have to find your father and-"
Sasuke turned sharply to her and glared. "What?"
"Your fath-"
"Oh." He said quickly, gazing towards Chaisoon. He barely noticed Naruto and Neji walk up behind him.
"Is something wrong, Sasuke?" she asked, her eyebrows down.
He shook his head, and led the way, leaving the three of them behind.
Thank you for your vibrant eyes…
And your touch...
Sasuke slowly trudged up the stairs, but stopped short when he heard some whispers coming from behind Itachi's door.
Knowing it was wrong, he crept up to it and pushed his ear against the cold wood.
"Itachi?" Came a small cry.
"Shh…" Sasuke heard. "Listen, I love you with all my heart and I would do anything for you."
Sasuke frowned at his stupid words.
"But why do you have to-"
"Because." He said sternly and there was a long awkward pause. Sasuke wondered what they were doing in there.
"Okay baby." She said oddly, like she was relieved. "It will be fun."
"We'll move out to somewhere far and-"
Frustrated, Sasuke slowly opened the door and peaked inside. Itachi was gripping hands with "Cocoa", and both were intently staring into each others' eyes.
"I love you so much, Itachi." She smiled, a tear rolling down her cheek. He brought her into a tight hug which made even Sasuke's heart clench. He slowly crept back, running down the stairs. He had to get out of there.
Thank you for your ears…
Which always listened…
"How are we ever going to find your father in such a huge city?!" Sakura exclaimed. "It's going to be impossible!"
Sasuke stayed silent, looking up at the clouds.
Naruto was walking again and looked at Neji, in hopes that he would know what to do. Neji shrugged.
Sakura rolled her eyes at their lack of co-operation. "Let's ask someone." She approached a stranger. "Excuse me, do you know where I can find Mr. Uchiha?" She sounded completely foolish and they looked at her as if she was crazy. Neji chuckled, getting Sasuke fumed.
Sakura sighed, continuing to ask random people as they passed. None seemed to know who Mr. Uchiha was.
"It's hopeless!" she squealed, breathing a heavy sigh. Naruto smirked, wobbling over and patting her on the back.
She looked over at Sasuke and the moment she did, he slowly walked forward, looking back at the gang. It was as if he knew where to go. Each one of them glanced at each other before following the black-haired boy and decided that he seemed confident enough.
After an hour of pointless traveling, Sakura finally decided to ask Sasuke where he was going.
"Where are we going, Sasuke?" she smiled. He whipped his head at her.
"I was following you." He muttered angrily. Her eyes widened.
"What?!" she gasped. "But you're in front!"
He sighed, rolling his eyes and looking up at a big house.
"You're an idiot." Naruto scoffed, sitting down on the pavement. He was extremely tired. "I'm starving."
"Shut up." Sasuke ordered, but Naruto paid no heed.
"There's a restaurant. Let's go and eat there." He laughed, getting up and sauntering over. "Come on, Sketch!"
"Stop calling me that." Neji said coolly, following the blonde. Sakura sighed and tagged along.
Naruto offered them fries but they shook their heads. They never understood how Naruto enjoyed the taste of regular food in his mouth. After becoming a vampire, their tastes changed greatly and the only thing that satisfied them was the taste of blood.
"How are we going to find him?" Neji shrugged, watching Naruto grab another piece of potato.
"This city is too big, maybe we should split up and search the houses at night." Sakura whispered.
"Don't be silly Sak-" Sasuke froze at a familiar voice behind him.
"I'll just have the soup please."
He dared not turn. Neji recognized it also and got out of his seat.
"Fugaku!" Neji yelled, excited.
The man's eyes widened as the long haired vampire sat down in front of him. "N-neji?" he stuttered. "What are you doing-"
"We have come to find you!" he smiled, taking his hand. "Come, we're all sitting over there." He took his arm and dragged him over to the table.
He was a tall man, looking about nineteen years of age. His dark black hair and eyes resembled those of Sasuke's and right away Sakura knew who he was.
"Guys, meet Fugaku. He is Sasuke's father."
Fugaku looked around the table, finally coming into view of Sasuke. He smiled softly but Sasuke whipped his head away, his face showing no emotion at all. His father sighed, sitting down beside Sakura.
"Hello Sasuke." He said, hoping for an answer. He got none. Sakura looked over at Sasuke in confusion. What was going on?
Naruto couldn't seem to accept that Sasuke's father looked the same age as he did. It was amazing.
"Meet everyone. This is Sakura and this is Naruto. They are also vampires."
"Hello." He greeted, holding out his hand to Sakura. "How are your families?"
"Fine." Sakura smiled nervously. Naruto nodded.
"Our clan must meet each of yours sometime." He smirked. It was alike to Sasuke's.
"Oh, no." Neji replied. "They have been converted."
"Oh, my apologies." Fugaku said, his eyes looking worried. "Was it Neji who converted you?"
"No." Naruto finally alleged. "It was Sasuke."
Sasuke looked down at his glass of water, resisting meeting eyes with his dad.
"When?" he asked, faking a smile.
"Well, I was converted in '92." Naruto smirked. "And she was converted only a week or two ago."
Fugaku met eyes with Sakura's emerald green ones. He nodded his head peculiarly before turning to Neji.
"Would you rather we talk privately, Neji?"
"Yes. We all need to speak to you, sir." Neji got up, leaving some money on the table.
"You may come to my house, then."
"We're very lucky to have found you, Fugaku." Naruto smirked. "Thank you."
Fugaku gave him a wistful smile and then again gazed over to his son. "Sasuke-"
Sasuke got up, pushing the chair and quickly walking out of the restaurant. Sakura ran behind him and his father shook his head, following behind.
The smell of your hair…
Is in my mind now…
Sasuke entered the living room last, sitting down beside Sakura. Neji had already explained the situation to Fugaku and he seemed shocked.
"Itachi?" he mouthed before bringing himself together.
"Do you know why he might be doing this?" Sakura asked, cocking her head. Fugaku looked to the floor and shrugged.
"He has his reasons."
Sasuke scoffed, leaning back into the couch.
"What do you think we should do? Lady Hyuuga asked us to come here." Naruto informed, looking over at Sketch.
"Well, because he's a Volusk, you know he's much stronger than all of you combined."
They all nodded.
"But, you also know their weakness is sunlight so you can use that to your advantage. I just don't know if it's going to be enough."
"Is there any way we can become stronger?" Sakura inquired, leaning in. Fugaku gave a fatherly smiled and she instantly thought of her own dad. A sudden rush of sadness filled her.
Fugaku went deep into thought, closing his eyes in hopes that something would come to mind. Suddenly he opened them.
"I know one thing that can help you."
Everyone but Sasuke sat up. Fugaku noted his son's behavior before continuing.
"I know this one technique that can enhance your abilities."
Naruto grinned, ready to learn anything.
"However, it's a very hard technique that only some can achieve. My father passed it on to me, and I was supposed to pass it on to my son's but we had to spilt up due to Itachi's…" he paused. "Because of his anger."
"Good! Now you can teach Sasuke!" Sakura turned to him, expecting to see him excited, but he instead kept his head down and stared down at his shoes.
"What's wrong?" she whispered, trying to see his eyes. He rested his fist under his chin and shook his head.
Fugaku noticed the way she got closer to him and whispered something in his ear.
"Don't play stupid with me, Uchiha."
Sasuke smirked, looking up to his father's peeking eyes and then looked into Sakura's. Fugaku looked at Neji and then at Naruto who acted as if what Sasuke and Sakura did was completely normal. He moved his head back fast enough to see Sasuke remove his hand from hers.
Sakura blushed with embarrassment when she noticed that his dad was watching and shifted away from the raven-haired boy.
"Sasuke, I'm glad you've found somebody nice-"
"And I bet you're glad she's not human right?" he snapped, looking him straight in the eye. Fugaku shifted, getting frustrated.
"Why don't I show you where you're going to stay?" he said through clenched teeth.
Everyone, awkwardly, got up and shuffled behind Fugaku as he led them upstairs to an empty room.
"You can put your things in there. I need to go out for a bit, but we'll train at nightfall, alright?"
Without getting their responses, he shut the door and all that could be heard was him running down the stairs.
"What the fuck's your problem?" Naruto snapped, putting his bag down. "Even I'm not that rude to my dad."
Before he knew it, Sasuke had a tight grip on his collar. "Why don't you mind your own fucking business?"
"Why don't you make me?" Naruto scoffed, pushing him back. Sasuke walked towards him, only to be pulled away by Sakura.
"Guys!" she squealed and then looked Sasuke in the eye. He looked, somewhat hurt. "Are you sure nothing's wrong?"
"Yeah." He said quickly, going back to his bag.
Sakura smiled but stopped short when a pillow was whipped to her head. She turned back to see Neji oddly pointing at Naruto.
"Neji!" she giggled, running over with the pillow and throwing it on his head.
"I swear, it was Naruto!" he gasped, grabbing a pillow and whacking Naruto in the ass.
Soon, all three of them were throwing things at each other and Sasuke only stood by and watched. Without saying good bye, he angrily left them. He couldn't see how they could be so happy.
I wish I could run my hands through it again…
"Itachi!" Sasuke yelled, running into his brothers' room. Itachi was on the phone.
"Sasuke!" he sighed. "I'm busy."
"I'm sorry." He blurted, looking up to the ceiling.
Itachi looked over at him and then continued to talk.
"I'm sorry and I hope you still consider me your best friend." Sasuke frowned. "You love her a lot don't you?"
Itachi was still ignoring him.
"Well, whatever you want to do… I'm going to support you." Sasuke shoved his hands in his pockets.
Itachi got up, and began for the door.
Sasuke sighed, realizing it was too late. "I'm sorry." He mumbled again.
His brother ruffled his hair as he walked by and gave him a quick smirk. He hung up the phone and turned to him. There was a silence.
"Wanna go out to eat? I'm starving."
Sasuke grinned as Itachi grabbed his baseball cap and his car keys. "My treat." He smiled.
And now…
I see your tears…
"Sasuke." Fugaku ordered. "Come here."
Sasuke ignored him, getting a glass of water. In an instant, his father was inches away from his face.
"Where were you, last night? I expected you to come so you could learn the-"
"Right and you really think I would show up."
"Aren't we passed that, Sasuke? I said I was sorry." Fugaku had a tight grasp on Sasuke's wrist. Sasuke turned to him.
"And because you learned that it wasn't me, you're willing to talk to me now?! Some kind of father you are."
"Sasuke!" he yelled. "I thought you would harm our family!"
Sasuke let out an angry sigh. "Right, because I'm not allowed to fall in love right?! What if it was me? Would you still not talk to me today? Would it be the same? The one someone loves shouldn't change the way a father loves their son, Fugaku."
"I am your father, and you are going to call me-"
"You are not my father."
"Shut up!" Fugaku began to glare angrily.
"You took my brother away from me and I will never forgive you for that!"
"Sasuke!" he yelled. "Your brother is a threat to our world and you're still on his side?! After all these years?!"
"If only you were accepting of who he loved, Fugaku. We wouldn't be in this mess!" Sasuke hollered, getting out of his grasp.
"Sasuke!" he shouted loudly, making his son stop where he was. "Think about what you're saying!"
"I know what I'm saying! I'm saying that you ruined Itachi's life and you ruined my life! I don't know much about family, but I do know that father's don't intend on messing with their children's minds! It's all your fault I'm like this, it's your fault Natsuya is dead and it's your fault that Itachi's gone crazy! I see why mom left you when we were young, because you probably ruined her life too! You're not my father. You're my enemy and I hate you!"
"Sasuke!" Fugaku screamed, pushing Sasuke hard in the chest. Sasuke stumbled backwards, the edge of the table jabbing into his back. He crouched to the floor in pain.
Realizing what he had done, Fugaku scrambled over and tried to help him up. Sasuke whacked his hand away and got up himself. "You've never helped me before father. I don't intend on letting you help me now."
Leaving Fugaku sitting on the floor, Sasuke stomped up the stairs, his face mad with fury and his head spinning. He slammed open the door to the room, startling Sakura.
"Sasuke?" she asked, standing up.
Sasuke walked up to her, his face reddening with rage and grabbed her into a hug. Sakura stood motionless as he tightened his grip, trying to release all of his tension.
"Sas-"
"Just shut up, okay?" he whispered harshly, his voice cracking. Slowly, she wrapped her arms around him too.
"Okay." She mumbled as he tightened his grip even more.
She couldn't help but smile at his sudden emotional outburst. He really was like a child.
"Don't tell Neji or that idiot, either." He grunted.
"I won't." she murmured, not missing the feeling of his tears wetting her shirt. "I promise."
And I know…
Every tear has a meaning of it's own…
And I know…
It was very hard…
Very, very hard.
And all I can say is thank you…
Thank you…
For loving me…
For me.
Again, i'm sorry. I'm going to try my best to update next week, i've just been so busy and all.
PLEASE review!
Love Anna
