Too Good to be True
"ITACHI!!!" Sakura jumped back eyes wide and sleepiness forgotten. She waved her hands around while she screamed. Then she sat in the corner of the room and lifted her knees up to her chin encircling her arms around them. "Not again! Stay away!" She whispered to herself again and again. It would seem like she was going crazy.
"Sakura? Sakura, what's wrong? Why did you say my brother's name?" Sasuke kneeled down at eye level and creeped close towards Sakura.
"Not again! Stay away! ITACHI!" Sakura screamed shielding herself with her knees. Sasuke disactivated his sharingan and Sakura seemed to have calmed down.
"Sasuke!" She lifted her head and saw him staring at her like she had three heads. Sakura noticed this but she threw herself against him and wrapped her arms around his neck and cried into his shirt. Sasuke seemed shocked to say the least by her change of reaction.
"Sasuke…I…was…so…scared" she said difficultly between sobs. Sasuke awkwardly put his arms around her waist and hugged her back. He let her cry herself out but he was not even sure what she was really crying about. Once she was able to talk normally she pulled back and looked up at his pale complexion. "I thought it was going to happen again…" She wipped her tears away. "Thanks for saving me Sasuke!" And then she gave him a peck on the cheek. Sakura was just about to pull away when Sasuke pulled her back towards him and hugged her tightly.
"I was scared too you know…I was scared you would never wake up!" Sasuke rested his chin on her sherry blossom head. He stayed like that for a few moment sbut then he pushed her back to look at her bright red tomato face. He looked into her eyes and immediately got lost in emerald orbs while Sakura did the same getting lost in his onyx orbs. Sasuke leaned forward slowly closing the space between them.
"Sasuke…stop…" He looked at her confused. "I appreciate that you saved my life but you can't use that as an advantage. You only like me for my looks. You just want to get into my pants and then leave" Sakura started to walk away when Sasuke grabbed her wrist. She turned her head around so fast, if her neck was a screw, her head would have fallen off.
"Sakura, do you know why I came back?" She shook her head. "I came back because I couldn't stop thinking about you. I had to be with you. I have no intention of getting into your pants. I just want to be with you. Is it a crime to be with someone you care about?" Sasuke paused as he ran his other hand through his hair: a sign of determination. "To prove to you that my intentions were honorable, I will not try to kiss you for a week starting tomorrow. Just trust me."
Sakura was biting back tears. She never knew he cared about her this much.
"Fine then to prove yourself to me…you have one week starting tomorrow! But Sasuke…" As he let go off her wrist she lifted her hands and placed one behind his head and one on his chest. "You can still kiss me today…" Sakura pulled his head down and their lips connected and he immediately responded by deepening the kiss and placing his hand on her waist. Sasuke licked Sakura's bottom lips and she granted him entrance while he explored her mouth. They pulled apart to catch a breath of air.
"Mmm…I have to go Sasuke!" She pulled back and Sasuke whimpered from the lack of warmth. "W-where are my clothes?" Sasuke chuckled lightly and Sakura surpressed a chill running up her spine by the wonderful sound. He pointed to the table where Sakura's clothes (more like half-clothes) were piled neatly.
"T-thanks again!" She stuttered and turned away blushing not believing what she just did. "I-I'll see you a-at school t-tmorrow? Bye!" Sakura ran out waving quickly. Sasuke watched as she closed the door and sighed while on the other side of the door, Sakura did the same.
Sakura walked into the mansion where she found Orochimaru sitting on the couch glaring at her.
"Sakura!" His tone was deadly but Sakura was used to it. She knew he was just worried about her safety though he has nothing to worry about. "Where were you?!"
"Orochimaru-sama, I was just hanging out with the new friends I made today…" She lied through her teeth. Sakura knew she was a bad liar but she also knew that Orochimaru was a little dim-witted. Orochimaru could see she was lying but he let it pass. 'Girl problems' he thought.
"Anyways, you have a new assignement…" He handed Sakura a profile. "Kill this man…you know the drill…no questions."
Sasuke watched quietly as a fax came through but he was too busy thinking about Sakura to really notice what it said. When he was done daydreaming, he lifted up the fax and read about the man he was to assassinate.
He put on his normal outfit and a mask of a leopard. He was all black which made it harder to notice him in the dark. Sasuke did the missions for money of course but he belonged to an organization of assassination. But most of the time, when he killed, he felt released from the real world because he could end a person's life so easily. It made him think more clearly for some EMO reason. Lastly Sasuke attached his kunai pack to his thigh as he exited the door.
Sakura reached her destination in the middle of the night. She was wearing white baggy clothes and a mask of an evil-looking clown. She loved the way blood splattered on it. It was like her white and innocent soul was being stained and tainted. She was a little twisted when it came to killing. Like a whole new person. Sakura used her chakra and climbed up the wall with ease and entered an open window. She immediately spotted her target and as he saw her, he thought that it was an angel…from hell.
Sasuke was careless today because of the earlier events that took place that day with Sakura, so as he walked by the hallway, he saw a shadow creeping up the wall from the corner of his eye. He took out his kunai and took small steps back looking around him but, unfortunately for him, he bumped into a desk and a vase clattered to the floor. 'The person already hear must know I'm here now…I better get going' Sasuke thought as he ran up the stairs and burst through the door almost puking at the sight he saw.
Sakura heard the clatter of the vase and decided to get this over with quickly so as the door the door burst open revealing a man dressed in black, she muttered something under her breath and her target's head exploded. Blood splattered everywhere on Sakura's baggy clothes, which made her look like a short guy. Sasuke looked in shock for a moment and then muttered. "You're sick!"
Sakura was too caught up with the blood to hear anything but she did notice the man standing at the doorway.
"My task is done, I shall leave!" Sakura said making her way to the window but she was stopped by a voice.
"Oh no you won't!" Sasuke threw three kunai in the person's direction but she jumped back rapidly. 'This guy's fast…and good enough to blow a man's head off in a second!'
"I have no reason to fight you, let me leave!" Neither knew that they knew eachother. Neither knew that they were mortal enemies from different organizations. Neither knew at all that they would be killed immediately if seen together. They were destined to be apart.
"How did you do that?!" Sasuke pointed towards the headless body of a man.
"If you don't move out of the way, you will end up the same way as that man…I don't want any trouble." Sakura made cloans of herself and ran towards him hitting him with exact timing. Sasuke shocked by the perfect chakra control fell back but quickly regained his composure. As Sakura was stepping out of the window, Sasuke put one arm around her neck and the other…on her chest. Sakura was pissed and red like the blood on her costume. Sasuke on the other hand was shocked, to say the least and was caught off guard by Sakura elbowing him in the stomach. He groaned and fell to the floor while Sakura kneeled him in the face, causing his nose to break. Sakura took this chance to run out of there.
Sakura jumped in the trees so it would be harder for people to notice her and made her way to her house. 'What a pervert! Who the hell does he think he is?!' She thought as she swayed on a branch. 'The only person I would permit touching me like that is…never mind' Sakura was in denial. 'I should have just blown his head off!'
As Sasuke sat there thinking about everything that just happened, it suddenly occurred to him that the cops might be here any minute. Right then he vowed he would find out about this person and kill them. If this person was good enough o blow a person's head off, she would be stronger than Itachi and therefore if he would be able to beat this person, he could beat Itachi.
