Thoughts

Sasuke/Sakura Inner Self

Chapter Four: Midnight Confessions

Sakura was stunned, she had not expected that to happen at all. She thought she would meet his cheek not his lips. Not that she wanted to meet his cheek but she was sure it would have been better if she did. Sasuke on the other hand was not at all surprised. He actually, seemed to be enjoying the contact of their lips. He pressed his lips against her more.

Sakura became even more stunned than she already was. She didn't like where this was going…, well actually she did but it was not the right for her. She had just only met him even though it felt as if she knew him for a while. He would have to wait. She pulled her head away and turned it to the side, away from him, to his disappointment. He growled at the loss.

"I think we should go to sleep." She told him and he sighed. He walked away from her, towards his bed. She watched him. He sat on the left side of the bed, and swung his feet over so he was laying on it.

"Aren't you going to take me back to the dungeon?" She asked in confusion.

"No, your staying here for now."

"Why?"

"Because I said so. Besides if I took you back to the dungeon that would look suspicious. You leave and than come back?"

"So what am I to do? I can't stay here the rest of my life. I have to leave and train more. I have to become stronger." She told him and he felt a sudden pain in his chest.

"You wish to leave as soon as possible than?"

"Yes but I doubt you'd let me go."

"Why?"

"You're the Prince, you could be punished and banished from your kingdom if you did." Sakura stated and he nodded.

She was right. That would be a possibility if he was caught letting her go. Although it was unlikely to happen. He was the only heir his father had and his father would not jeopardize the throne to someone other than his own blood.

Which meant either him or his brother ad he was sure that that was the last thing his father would allow. His traitorous brother to obtain the throne.

"That is not likely to happen but it is a possibility. And just because I'm the son of my father means that I believe in this feud our family has." He told her and she gave him a small smile.

"Yeah, well I don't believe in it. Why fight over something that happened more than a hundred years ago? There's no point in it."

"Of course there isn't but our parents think otherwise."

"I know."

"So you wish to leave here? Where are you to go after? Back to your country?"

"NO! I will not go back there. I refuse to. I will not follow them anymore."

"Why? What happened to you?"

"Nothing. It's what they tried to do to me." She replied.

"What did they do? Try to kill you?"

"In their own way." She muttered but he heard anyway. His eyes flashed red.

"How?"

"They made me go into a arranged marriage."

"Is that so bad?" He asked, not understanding why that would make her run away. It wasn't so bad. Although if his parents had did that to him, he would flip out. It could not have been that bad.

"No, I suppose not but I…I don't want to marry just because it's my duty. If I got married I would want to love the person."

"And you left because you loved someone?"

"Yeah. I met him when I was a child. I don't know his name or anything about him, but that moment when I looked at him, I knew he was the one for me. I don't know how but I knew he was."

Sasuke ears perked up at this. He had had a similar experience when he was younger. He had gone into a foreign country with his father and he had looked at some girl and instantly felt a connection.

"How old were you?"

"I don't know, maybe ten or eleven. Why?" She answered.

"No reason. So you were going to be forced to marry someone you didn't love so you ran away form your home? That's seems kind of stupid and rash to me." He said to her, even though for some reason he felt relieved. She glared at him with a scowl.

"I don't care what it seems to you. If you had been in my position you would have done the same. Especially when you found out who you were going to marry."

"And who was your betrothed?"

"Gaara of the Sand." She mumbled to him.

She had meet him once before when she was a child and he had insulted and almost killed her. She had talked back to him and his demon unleashed. If Itachi had not showed up when he did, she would have been killed. That had never left her memory and she was sure it never would.

"Him!?" Sasuke said.

Shock was evident in his eyes but not his face. Gaara of the sand. He had met the fellow a few years back when he was still a teenager. He was like him in a way except he was not as bad as Gaara was. Gaara was ruthless and merciless. He at least had a bit of heart in him, Gaara on the other hand had not one ounce.

"Yeah, you met him?"

"A few years ago."

"He is the worse man I have ever met. I mean who tries to kill someone just for talking back to them? What kind of person…err….demon does that?" Sakura yelled but not loud enough to attract attention to them.

Sasuke sat up on the bed as his eyes turned to a blood red. Gaara had done what? He was going to make that demon pay if he had touched Sakura. The moment the thought entered his mind he shook his head. He was overprotective of her already, after ten minutes in her presents. He gave a inward smile. Maybe his heart wasn't covered in ice like he thought.
