Sadly: I don't own Naruto v-v enjoy!-HC:
Chapter 6
It's been a month and half since Sasuke started living in this house with Sakura.
Ever since he told her to keep away from me, she surprisingly obeyed, as she would just leave breakfast, lunch and dinner for himto eat in the kitchen. Sasuke spent most of his time outside just so he wouldn't be home with her, and when he did come home she wouldn't be around anywhere, but her room.
He usually set a routine date throughout the week, and she naturally followed it, knowing when he was home and when he wasn't.
Sometimes it felt good, other times Sasuke really wanted to bump into her just to see how she was doing...and decided today will be that day.
The Uchiha skipped his usual meetings with the guys and Karin and found his way home.
He opened the door to see the house smelling clean...but no Sakura around.
Where is she?
He walked upstairs with his keys in his hand and past her room to see her door slightly open.
He paused, took a deep breath in and out, and slowly walked backwards to see her sitting there with knees to her chest. He watched her sniff and wipe away her tears as she just sat there doing nothing.
Throb...
C'mon Sasuke just say something to her.
knock knock
"Hey" he greeted.
"Huh?"
She quickly wiped away her tears and looked over to her door as he opened it halfway.
"You're home..."
"Hn...The laundry"
"I did the laundry already." She informed.
"I forgot to give you a couple shirts, come get them"
She nodded her head and got off her bed, and slowly walked behind the tall boy.
Sasuke sighed as he stepped into his room as she stood there by the door.
"Get in..." he said. She stepped in and stood there and looked around as he looked for shirts to randomly give her.
Sasuke just grabbed some out of his closet and handed them to her.
"Wash these and come downstairs."
"Why?" she asked.
"Just come"
He stepped downstairs, grabbed his wallet while he waited for her to come down.
She looked at him from the top of the stairs and slowly walked down.
"Where are we going?" she questioned.
"Let's eat out tonight"
"Ah...but-"
"Come on."
Sasuke walked out the door as they walked towards the front of the yard and put the hoodie over her.
"Wear it, it's cold"
He felt his heart race a little faster since it's actually been a while since they've been alone like this...
"Where are we going to go eat?" she asked him.
"Ichiraku's."
The two quietly walked to the restaurant and sat there, waiting for someone to take their orders.
He watched her cheeks flush a deep red as she sat there looking around awkwardly.
Sasuke couldn't help but grin when he saw her glance at him and quickly look down.
He put his menu down and rested his head on his hand and stared at her.
She looked flustered, nervous...as if Sasuke was going to pounce at her anytime soon.
He smirked again as he bit down on his lip and scoffed at her.
"Someone's tense..."
"Ah...hmph, I'm not tense or nervous...I'm just ...Confused."
"About what?"he asked as he looked down at his menu again; he glanced at her from time to time to see her fiddling with the menu in her hand.
"Why are we here? Why are you here...? Why aren't you out with your friends...?"
"Is it really a big deal for you?"
She slammed her hands and shook her head.
"Of course it is, if you were normal, if we were actually normal around each other then this is nothing, but you..."
She moved her hands back to her side and looked away.
"You hate me..."
Pang.
She said it so simply, as if it wasn't something second nature to her.
"Just relax, stop over thinking it, I'm hungry and you didn't even make dinner yet so I thought we'd eat together" he lied.
Truth was, it's been awhile since we sat alone together...
Sigh.
As much as he didn't want to care, he couldn't...stop. Sasuke just had to talk to her, even if it meant taking her here and lying to her.
A waitress came over and took their orders as they sat there in awkward silence again. She acts so different with him, than she is when she's with dobe.
Well then again she does like him...
Teh...even that thought...just...
Sasuke shook his head and took a deep breath out as he tried to shake the sudden anger that suddenly popped inside of him.
It's the kind of anger you're not too certain about...it's like poison to him.
She handed their food and they started to eat in silence when suddenly...
"Itachi look that's Sasuke yeah! Sasuke!" Sasuke heard his brother's friend, Deidara, shout.
He looked up to see his brother and his lame friends looking his direction.
Sasuke gave them a greeting nod and looked away thinking they'd leave. But no, that wasn't the case at all. He watched them wave and start walking his direction, at first Sasuke didn't care but then he realized-
Sakura...
"Sasuke what are you-...oh look guys Sasuke's not eating alone yeah."
Shit
Sasuke looked at his older brother who didn't seem to care at all of what was going to happen.
"Deidara, leave, we're eating" Sasuke told him.
Deidara: "nonsense Sasuke, we just wanna meet your friend"
"...That's his wife" He heard Itachi speak.
...here it comes.
Sasuke bit down on his straw as he watched them slowly look at a completely frozen Sakura and all of a sudden they bursted out laughing.
"pbbbt...pbbbbbbbttttttt HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!"
"Damn Sasuke you are one blind ass mofo" Hidan said.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes at the psychopath his brother calls friend as he watched him smirk at Sakura.
The younger Uchiha glanced over at her to see her hands were slightly shivering.
"wahhhhhh What a beauty isn't she guys, hey beautiful what's your name?" Deidara asked as he naturally scooted next to her; soon Kisame, Hidan, Sasori and Kakuzu all sat after him.
She kept her head down while they started to rampage her with questions.
Sasuke continued to eat as he let it all go by, what the Hell was he suppose to do?
He felt like such a dick watching her being harassed by their questions and comments but he didn't know what to say because he knows these guys, they won't stop no matter what you say to them.
"Hey Sasuke your wife doesn't know how to talk?" Kisama said.
Sasuke watched them snicker as Sakura kept her head down.
"Hey leave her alone, she's actually cute yeah" Deidara said.
"Deidara you're disgusting." Hidan told him.
They all started laughing except for his older brother who actually looked a little angry.
He looked at Sasuke with shame in his eyes as he looked away and went over to the counter to order something.
"Shut up Hidan you're scaring her so much she's shaking yeah"
"She's like a little doll, waiting to be moved around huh?" Sasori added, creepily.
"...hmph, that's an interesting looking doll" Kisame commented.
Sasuke couldn't help but choke on his drink when he said that, he looked over at the guys as he tried to calm his coughing to see them burst as well.
"Pbbbt...pbbbbbbttttttttttttt hahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa!" -ahem- "ah Kisame shut up yeah, she's just shy, hey sweetie wanna share some of your food with me?"
"Pass me her fries I'm starving" Hidan said.
They took her food from her and she didn't make a peep, a sound or a move...
Sasuke didn't know what to say, he didn't know what to do, part of him wanted to tell them to fuck off, but when he looked at her he couldn't help but see how afraid she is.
Her fists her shaking as she kept her head down.
She glanced up at him and Sasuke looked right at her and turned away as he just slightly pushed his food towards her.
"Here eat" he told her.
She looked at his food and looked up at him and looked down.
She slowly took the burger in her hand and Sasuke watched her stare at it.
Hmph, she wouldn't do anything...
Just as he was about to go he heard Deidara ask her another question.
"Hey why can't you just tell me your name yeah? a pretty girl like y-"
"Leave...me...alone..."
"Excuse me?"Deidara spoke.
"NO ONE INVITED YOU TO SIT NEXT TO ME, SO GET OUT!" she shouted.
"What'd you-?" Hidan began.
" ARE YOU DEAF?! I TOLD YOU TO GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!" Sasuke saw her kick Deidara in the chest pushing them all out of the seat.
He saw two of them hit their heads against one of the chairs nearby as she started breathing heavily.
"Watch who you're messing with you stu-" Kisame tried to speak.
She shoved the burger in Kisame's mouth before dusting her hands off as she looked down at all of them.
"I'm disgusting? You talk like this to strangers, to people you don't even know and you with such disrespect and you call me disgusting...?"
The raven-haired boy was frozen still...speechless as he watched her stomp on all of them before storming out of the shop..
He waited till she left the shop's entrance before he got out his seat and walked over with his drink.
Sasuke leaned down and watched them lay there frozen still... shocked.
He couldn't help but start laughing as he watch them all stare at him confused.
Said Uchiha shrugged his shoulder as he clicked the cover of his cup off and shoved it into Hidan's mouth.
"You're right, I am blind, because that, was something I honestly didn't see coming."
He spat Sasuke's drink and cup out of his mouth as he stared at him trying to think of what to say back
Sasuke walked off and laughed as he heard them all curse and growl at him.
Sasuke ran towards the direction he seen her walk off on and he watched her figure slowly move down the street.
Sigh...shit now I gotta deal with this...
He ran after her as she turned a corner and caught up to her as her walking started to speed up.
Sasuke stayed a couple feet away from her as he watched her march off home..
He didn't know what he wanted to say to her besides the fact that he didn't choke on his drink because he laughed, he only did so because of the way he said it
That's not going to help you Sasuke, you're still in deep shit for not saying anything.
Sasuke groaned as he rubbed his temple and thought of how completely useless he was back there...
A few minutes later he made his way home and looked to see she wasn't in the living room.
"I should probably say sorry..." he mumbled to himself as he walked up the stairs and knocked on her door.
Hearing no reply, Sasuke quietly twisted her door knob and walked in to see she wasn't there but the shower was turned on.
Sasuke walked in front of her bathroom door and stood there.
Sigh...
I should probably knock and apologize. I honestly didn't know how to react to them harassing her...I never had to defend anyone against them before.
Just as he was about to knock on her door he heard her begin to talk
"that chicken-ass haired look-alike, good for nothing,dipshit, stupid, useless cocky, know-it-all bastard did nothing to defend me, NOTHING! He just laughed at me!...He didn't even care! Ugh!"
Sasuke narrowed his dark eyes and felt his fists clench harder...
...good for nothing cocky bastard? That's what she calls me?
Sasuke turned around and walked out her room without bothering to close her door.
Fuck it, she thinks' I'm useless huh? Alright, we'll see just how far she can go without my help.
"Fucking crazy bitch"
Sasuke laid on his bed trying to go to sleep when he couldn't...
Why did I even think about saying ANYTHING to her...!
Next Morning...
Sasuke went downstairs to see her making breakfast. She had a bitter look on her face, a look that said she was still angry with him.
He glared at her as he watched her poker face still in play with him; she half halfheartedly placed a plate of food on the breakfast table and mumbled her words to him.
"Here eat." She spoke.
Sasuke took a sip from his juice and scoffed at her.
" Sorry but this chicken-ass haired look-alike, good for nothing,dipshit, stupid, useless cocky, know-it-all bastard doesn't want to eat anything that's made by a pink haired, depressing, weak, scared, pathetic, ugly, mouse" he growled out.
"Good because this pathetic little mouse doesn't want you to eat anything she makes EITHER!"
"Yeah, I'm sure you'd like to make Naruto some food right?!"
"I'm better off doing that!"
"THEN GO TO HIM SAKURA!" Sasuke yelled.
"IF ONLY I COULD SASUKE, IF ONLY. I. COULD" Sasuke saw her try her best to remain still as he glared at her. He was so angry right now he didn't even know what to say back to her.
What annoyed him even more was that he actually wanted to apologize to her last night.
Why did I want to do that?! Like I fucking know.
He slammed the glass of juice on the table as she grabbed her bag and walked away from him, slamming the door as she left letting the sound echo in the house.
The veins on his forehead were throbbing and he felt his anger getting the best him again.
Sasuke took in a deep breath and walked out the house over to his car to see her slowly walk down the street.
He looked away from her and drove past her quick enough for her to stare at him, God she even managed to kill his morning before it even started.
Sasuke drove over to Karin's house and waited for her to hop in.
She kissed his cheek and wished him good morning as she buckled herself in.
"Wow you look happy" she said sarcastically.
"Whatever."
"Oh pbbbbbbt, I heard about last night, wow."
"Like I care, it has nothing to do with me..I made it clear to her that our paths should not cross unless it has to..."
"Really?" she asked.
"Yeah"
"Hmm, I see..."
Sasuke glanced over at her smile, the kind of smile a person gets when they know they've won a game.
He shot an eyebrow at her and smirked as he noticed the happy glint flash off her eyes.
"someone's happy"
"What?" She smiled at him and pushed his arm. "So what if I am?"
"Well...what's with the smile?"Sasuke turned the corner as he heard her relax a bit.
"I don't know...I'm glad you're not you know..."
"What?"
"In love with Sakura"
"..."
"Pbbbt.." Karin began to laugh.
"Don't even joke around like that."
"Hahahahahahahahaha! Sorry, sorry! It's just you pushed me away last time, and when you left I looked out the window to see her walking back so I figured..."
Sasuke shook his head as they stopped at a red light.
"Forget about that" he said.
"Well I can't!" she whined as she crossed her arms and glared at him. "I want you to make up for it."
"Can't it wait?" he sighed.
"Nooooooo! Come on, a quick one please?"
Sasuke rolled his eyes and pulled her in for a quick kiss before he started driving again, a bit later he heard her start to laugh.
"What now?"
"Oh Kami, look up ahead"
Sasuke looked up to see Sakura slowly walking towards school with Deidara, Kisame, and Hidan right behind her.
"Hahahahahaha those guys really don't know when to stop" Karin laughed.
He watched her keep her head down as she slowly walked.
Pang...
Who cares Sasuke, she made it clear she hates you, just as you hate her, just ignore her...
Karin pulled the window down and waved over at Sakura as he pulled towards the driveway
"HEY SAKURA, NICE FRIENDS YOU GOT THERE!" She shouted out the window and Sasuke glanced over to see Sakura just stand there, not looking at Karin but looking at him...Her head was towards his direction as Karin waved at the guys.
Sasuke could tell she was still looking at him; he kept his eyes faced forward as he made his way to the parking lot.
Sasuke felt a knot hit his throat as he parked the car and walked towards the back entrance to the school as Karin ran over to lock her arms to his.
"Hahahaha oh her reaction is too rich, she looked pissed off it's so funny!"
"Hn."
"Ahh., hey I noticed Naruto wasn't with her, did he get tired of her too?"
"Dobe said he'd walk with Hinata for a while since she hasn't been going with Neji anymore"
"Hmm, yeah Hinata told me, she also told me how Kiba and her might get back together again, ugh those two, they really should pick one or the other."
Sasuke's eyes slightly widened at her words...he couldn't help but feel bad as he thought of what that might do to Naruto..Every time he gets closer to Hinata she always finds her way back to Kiba.
"Hn...I'll ask Naruto if it's true or not" Sasuke announced.
"Alright, well I gotta go Ino's waiting, bye Sasuke."
She kissed his cheek and ran over to Ino who waved at him.
Sasuke gave her a greeting nod before finding his way to Kakashi's class.
He walked in to see Sakura's head on the desk with a pen in her hand.
he said nothing to her as he sat down in his seat, she didn't glance, or look to see who walked in as she continued to scribble on her paper.
It was quiet and awkward sitting in the classroom with her... she probably knew he was there but didn't want to face him still.
For some reason thinking of her ignoring him pissed him off even more.
Say something to her Sasuke, anything...
Just as he thought of what to say to her Kakashi walked in with a cup in his hand.
"Sakura I-oh Sasuke good morning" He turned to him and his eye smiled at him as he walked over to Sakura "here you go Sakura, I asked Shizune if you can go see her later, she said to stop by anytime."
Sasuke nodded at Kakashi as Sakura sat up and took the cup from his hand and swallowed the pills that were handed to her;he glanced over to see she looked a bit pale.
Pang...
"Ahh thank you sensei" she thanked politely.
"No problem, anything for my favorite student, ahh um...Sasuke, I think Karin's looking for you."
Sasuke nodded at him and walked out the door as he glanced over at her to see she looked paler than usual.
Is she sick?
Kakashi sat in front of her and started to talk with her as he left the class wondering if there really was something wrong with her other than being pissed off at him this morning.
A while later they walked back into class and Kakashi announced they had a project that was to be done within two weeks for his class.
Everyone groaned as he started to explain what it was about.
"It's an easy project, all you have to do is simply tell himwho killed MacBeth, explain why you think so, prepare a powerpoint presentation for it, anddddd to make it easier, you'll have to partner up and finish this in pairs."
The class cheered as everyone realized it'll be easier with someone else.
"But! I will be picking your partners...starting off with...Sakura..."
Someone cut Kakashi off with a comment about not wanting to get Sakura as a partner and Sasuke's head immediately turned to her to see she started to sink into her seat.
The comments of not wanting to be with her started to flow in and she completely drowned into her seat until Kakashi slammed one of his books onto his desk.
"I see how none of you want this so, I'll just move on. Sasuke! You'll be with..."
"Senseiiiiiii!" Karin yelled as she raised her hand. Kakashi looked at him and Sasuke gave him an agreeing nod before he turned to face Karin
"Karin, and Ino you'll be withhhhhh Choji."
"Alright!" Choji agreed.
"You better not just sit there and eat the whole way Choji!" Ino said to him.
"Hey! I'm going to need food in order to function you know"
"...four bags of Doritos isn't brain food!" Ino told him.
"You eat however much you want Choji, don't listen to her." Shikamaru said to him.
"Shut up Shika!" Ino shouted.
"Alright alright, please let me continue" Kakashi said.
Kakashi went down the list and assigned everyone a partner except for
"Sakura- ah um..."
Sasuke heard a couple snickers and laughs about her being the odd one out and somehow Sasuke felt like Kakashi was going to...
"Sasuke would you like another..."
Sasuke glared at him and looked away and he cleared his throat before clapping his hands together
"Well, then you've got your partner, and you know what to do, I expect to have good stuff from you all, or else..." he warned.
"We fail" the class said.
The class groaned as he laughed and sent them off.
Sasuke grabbed his book and checked his phone as he heard Kakashi tell Sakura to stay back for a bit.
"Sasuke come on" Karin called.
"Hn, you go on I gotta ask Kakashi something."
She shrugged her shoulders and kissed his cheek before she left the classroom and Sasuke pretended to look for something as he watched her walk over to Kakashi's desk.
"Sorry about that Sakura, I-"
"It's fine...please don't apologize for something you didn't do sensei"
"Well..." Kakashi sighed, "I'm not sure what I should do now."
"Can I work alone?" She asked.
"...I'd feel bad if you worked without a partner" Kakashi said.
They looked up at him as Sasuke grabbed his drink and walked out the classroom. Sasuke stood there pretending to check his phone again as he heard her tell him it's alright.
"Well if you want I can be your partner" Kakashi offered.
"Ahh really? Would that be okay?" she giggled.
"Hahaha well I'm not sure honestly" Kakashi laughed.
"You can't help himwith anything though...you're the sensei" she reminded him.
"How about this, I'll guide you."
They laughed as she cleared her throat and sighed.
"Mm, guide me huh? Well then I guess I'll be in your hands, please take care of me."
"Of course, as I hope you'll take care of me."
She giggled as she greeted him goodbye and walked out the door.
Sasuke didn't even have a chance to react to her walking out as they stood there frozen in front of each other.
She seemed a bit clammy as she cleared her throat and walked away.
Her shoulder brazed his arm as she walked past him and coughed into her tissue.
"Go to the nurse" he mumbled knowing she'd hear him.
"Who are you again? Oh that's right...someone who doesn't care...right?" she calmly replied back as she slowly walked to her next class.
Sasuke felt a knot build inside his throat...watching her leave him like that...
She's really pushing your buttons Sasuke...
Sasuke shook his head and punched the locker before walking the other way.
The bell rang and it was lunch time already. The Uchiha sat there all day thinking of how he didn't notice how sick she was.
He kept fighting with himself, trying to convince himself it wasn't his problem, or his fault.
Sasuke walked out the class and watched her walk past him, she looked worse than before...her body limped over, and her cheeks were completely red; she looked terrible, yet she's still acting like she's completely fine. The boy stood there thinking about whether or not he should make her go to the nurse's office or not when he saw her look over at him and quickly turn her head away and continued to walk down the hall when suddenly she stumbled over and nearly fell.
Sasuke felt like walking over there and dragging her ass to the nurse's office but he knew she would find a way to slip away from him.
Later that day...
Sasuke was heading over to his car and turned on the ignition when his phone rang.
He scrolled over to see it was his mother calling him.
"Hello?" he spoke.
"Hello Sasuke-kuuuuuuuun!" mother greeted brightly, as usual.
"How are you kaa-san?" he asked.
"I'm great sweetie! I miss you and Sakura-chan so much! I was wondering if you can actually stop by home for a minute, please?"
"Ah sure, I'll head over right now" he told her,
"Oh wonderful! See you soon!"
Sasuke hung up the phone and drove over to his parents place. It wasn't until he reached the front door that he realized he hasn't seen them since the day he moved out.
Sasuke opened the door, took off his shoes and walked in the living room to see Karin's mother sitting down and drinking tea with his mom.
Sasuke bowed and greeted them both as his mom beckoned her hand.
"Oh my baby boyyyyyy!" she squealed out as she choked him in her arms.
"Kaa-san..."
"I missedd youuuuuuuu!"
"Kaa-san I can't breathe" Sasuke spoke out of breath.
"Oh my! Sorry Sasuke-kun" she apologized.
She kissed hischeeks and patted the couch as Mebuki looked over at him
"How are you Sasuke?" Karin's mom asked.
"I'm great Kaa-sama, how are you?"
"Oh I'm fine" she replied.
Sasuke smiled and nodded at her as his mother bought over cookies for him.
"Sasuke-kun, the reason why I called you over today is because we decided to throw you and Sakura a nice dinner to honor you both, I know it's late, but I figured you two finally got enough time to get to know each other before we did this."
Shit...
"Hn"
"So, how does this Saturday sound hm?" she asked.
Truth is, he didn't want this at all, but how was he suppose to turn down his mother?
"Sounds great I'll tell Sakura"
"Oh goodieeeee!" she clapped her hands and kissed his cheek. "Thank you Sasuke! Oh by the way where is Sakura?"
"Hn?"
"You drove straight from school right? Why isn't Sakura with you?"
Crap
"She uh..."
"I'm sure Sakura preferred walking than to take the car right Sasuke?" Mebuki said.
Sasuke nodded his head and sighed as he watched his mother smile at him.
"Mm is that so hm? Well she's doing good right? You're getting along?"
Sasuke nodded his head and looked away from his mother as he took a bite of his cookie.
The Uchiha never looked his mother in the eye and lied to her, it's almost automatic for him to tell the truth to her...he knows how much she likes Sakura, and if he honestly told her they didn't get along she'd be heartbroken.
"Ahh well, your father wants to see you so go see him and go home okay? I'm sure Sakura's waiting for you."
She patted his back as Sasuke kissed her cheek before walking upstairs, when he was suddenly stopped by a certain older brother of his.
"Hey" he greeted.
"Aniki" Sasuke acknowledged.
"Here"
"What?" he asked.
Sasuke looked down to see him offering him a plain white envelope before looking away.
"Give this to her" he spoke.
"To who? Karin?"
Itachi looked at him with pure disgust in his eyes.
"Your wife..."
...
Oh.
"Okay...what is it?"
He put his hands in his pockets and walked off
"None of your business, oh and Sasuke" He looked back at him with the same glare from before. "I'll know whether or not you opened that letter, so don't do it."
"Quit getting your panties in a knot I just asked, it's not like I care"
"I'm sure you don't...little brother" He mumbled as he walked down the stairs.
Sasuke glared at his back before shoving the stupid envelope into his pocket and knocked on his father's door.
"Who is it?" dad asked.
"Ahh, it's me: Sasuke."
"Get in here boy."
Sasuke twisted the doorknob and took a step in to see Karin's dad sitting with his father drinking tea while playing a game of chess.
"Kaa-san said you wanted to see me"
"Hn, sit down" he commanded.
"Fugaku, let's continue this another time, I got a meeting to go to" Kizashi said.
"I see, then this Saturday."
"Yes, we'll discuss the other matters later."
Sasuke bowed slightly to him as he did to him and smiled
"Sasuke, I uh...I hope my daughter's not giving you too much trouble"
He laughed as he gently touched Sasuke's shoulder
Trouble? She's annoying the crap out of me.
"Not at all" Sasuke lied while he slightly smiled at him, he sighed as if a lot of grief was lifted from his shoulders
"That's great! Haha...ah I'm happy, thank you for taking care of her" he told the boy.
He bowed again and Sasuke nodded at him as he greeted both his dad and him goodbye.
Sasuke looked around the room before taking his seat when his dad sat back on his.
"The girl" his father spoke.
Sasuke looked at him as he hunched over and sighed.
"Sakura...how is she?" he asked.
"Fine" Sasuke replied.
"Really?"
"Yep...so Tou-san why am I here?"
"We're here to discuss the question I just asked Sasuke, how is Sakura?"
Sasuke looked up at him and gave his father the same exact stare he was giving him...the look of pure anger.
"I told you she's fine."
"Itachi told himsomething interesting happened the other night, and;"
"Maybe Aniki should learn to control his dogs better and honestly, I had no control over anything that happened."
"She's a sweet girl Sasuke, I trust you're not giving her a hard time" he said to his son.
"I'm not" Sasuke told him.
Sasuke's father shot an eyebrow at him as if he didn't believe a word the boy said.
"I said I'm not" Sasuke repeated.
"Sasuke one day you'll thank me for this."
"For what?"
"For this marriage."
"Pbbbt, yeah, I'm so happy I could thank you right now" Sasuke mumbled back sarcastically as his dad got off his seat and walked over to his cabinet.
"Mock me all you want, but you'll get why I did what I did."
"That'll be the day..."
Sasuke heard a low growl come from his father as he took something out of the cabinet and came back to his seat; he placed a little box onto the table and pushed it close to his younger son.
Sasuke looked down at it and opened it to see it was two rings placed inside.
He looked up at his dad with a blank look.
"What's this?" Sasuke asked.
"Rings. What does it look like to you?"
"I meant why are you giving me this?" Sasuke rephrased.
"Give hers to her and you wear yours, what else do you do with rings son?"
Sasuke glared at him as he thought of how he was throwing Sasuke's game back at him with his snarky replies.
"She's not going to wear it."
"Did she say so?"
"No but-" Sasuke began.
"Look, I don't know what gahimyou're playing with your mother but I know the whole deal alright? I get it, you hate her, but fact is Sasuke she's your wife."
Sasuke grew angry at his words as he continued to add on to all this.
"...I don't want you hurting her Sasuke, she's important to this family and-"
"If she's so important then why did you get her married to me knowing I didn't like her?!"
"What I know and what you know are two completely different things Sasuke."
"Yeah! You're right! What you know is FAR from what I know, and what I want! How do you know what I want Dad, huh?! You think I wanted this?! Do you actually think I wanted this?!" Sasuke asked his dad as he got up from his seat, Sasuke saw him close his eyes as he got up and slammed on the table causing the chess pieces to fall to the floor.
"NO I don't know what you want Sasuke, I don't! Only you know what you want, but trust himwhen I say that I do know what you need and that's why I make all the decisions I do because I know that!"
"What I need?! WHAT I NEED?! YOU THINK I NEED HER?!"
"OF COURSE YOU NEED HER!"
"Guess what dad NEWS FLASH I DON'T NEED HER THE WAY YOU THINK I DO!"
"That's funny because last I checked you needed her to get the Hell out of this house!"
The younger Uchiha's eyes widened and he felt his heart suddenly stopped when his father's words poured into his ears.
He closed his mouth and looked at his father who seemed just as fumed as he did...
"Yeah...you're right I did need her for that...but now I'm out this house and she's nothing but a useless pawn for me, so quit trying to make sense out of something that's not even there, SOMETHING THAT WILL NEVER BE THERE!"
"You don't even know what you're talking about!"
"I do! I do know what I'm talking about and what I'm saying is that I'm not going to be pushed into this shit how you want me to! You said I was free when I'm 18, and I agreed to that, nowhere in that contract did I say I was going to get along with her! So quit trying to push me to it!"
"Sasuke listen-"
"No! I won't I'm done here!"
Sasuke threw the box over his shoulder as he flew the door open and walked out the house, feeling like shit for raising his voice at his dad. Something Uchiha men never do. To Uchiha's your father was much respected, but Sasuke's father left him no choice, his life was on the line here and he wasn't going to let anyone stand in the way.
Never in my life did I ever think about raising my voice like that.
Sasuke walked over to his car and stepped in as he heard his mother worriedly ask him what was wrong
He told her it was nothing, but you could tell it was an obvious lie.
Sasuke started the ignition but his mother stopped him from driving off by hand a bag over to him.
"Sasuke-kun, please give this to Sakura okay? Tell her Kaa-chan said to wear it when she comes Saturday."
Sasuke nodded as he grabbed the bag and threw it in the backseat. Sasuke greeted his mother goodbye and drove off feeling completely steamed.
Why does every conversation I have with people always end up about her?
Naruto, mom, Itachi, Karin, dad, her parents, Kakashi, EVERYONE. All they do is talk about her it's driving me fucking crazy!
Sasuke slammed his door shut and walked into the house to see it looking pretty messy.
He took off his jacket and hung it up as he thought about how this house is usually clean by the time he's home.
He looked over to the kitchen to see her having a coughing fit.
Sasuke was just about to walk off when he heard her coughing get worse, her knees were giving in.
Just turn around and walk away Sasuke, this is none of your business
The dark haired Uchiha took two steps forward when suddenly he heard a thump, he looked back to see her on the floor still coughing.
He sighed as he walked over; he was just about to grab her to help her up when she waved her hand at him, signalling him to stop his tracks.
"I...I don't need your help, so leave me alone" she mumbled as she took in a deep breath and got to her feet
Sasuke scoffed at her and quickly looked away when he got a glimpse of her face to see she looked even worse than earlier today. Nonetheless he managed to walk out of the kitchen, doing his best to keep her out of his mind, She walked past him and walked over to the living room and suddenly started coughing again and he rubbed his temples over and over trying his best to just go to his room..
Who cares if she's sick, it's not my problem it's hers...right?..I can careless what happens to her... Is what he kept telling himself as he turned around and started walking behind her.
Sasuke didn't know how, he didn't know why, but his legs just somehow ended up following behind her.
Sasuke walked over and grabbed her wrist forcibly turning her around.
"You're going to bed whether you like it or not."
"Stop Sasuke let go!"
"Shut up, I didn't ask you to talk."
"Sasuke!" she shouted.
Sasuke picked her up, throwing her over his strong shoulder as he started walking upstairs.
She started to kick her legs and wiggle in his arm but he gripped onto her tightly making sure she wouldn't slip away.
"Put me down Sasuke right now!" she ordered.
Sasuke ignored her threats, comments, and kicks to his abs as he made his way to her room and threw her onto the bed.
"Ouch! What the hell?!" She tried to get up but he pinned her arms down making sure she wouldn't make another move.
Sasuke climbed over her and kept his hands to hers while she suddenly fell quiet
"You're gonna stay in here and sleep, got it?"
"Ha! What? So you care all of a sudden is that it? Or are you afraid your parents are going to blahimyou for my sickness huh?"
"Just shut up and sleep."
"What makes you think I'm going to listen to you Sasuke you don't own me!"
"I can care less who owns you Sakura, just go to sleep."
"I won't!"
"Fine, then stay in here and rest."
Sasuke mumbled as he got off her.
She sat up and started to cough, but he heard a couple sniffs in between those coughs.
"I hate you..." she spoke coldly.
Sasuke sat at the edge of her bed and hunched over.
"Don't worry, I'm sure I hate you more..." he told her.
The thermometer beeped and he looked down to see it read 101.7 degrees
" 101.7..shit...why didn't you tell me you were this sick?"
"I thought my matters wouldn't mean anything to you...plus you were obviously pissed off at me.." she sniffed "I didn't think you'd care."
"...I was mad because I heard you curse me out last night" he told her.
"That's because you let them humiliate me that night Sasuke!"
"I didn't know what to do!"
"Well now they won't leave me alone!"
"I wanted to apologize but you didn't even give me the chance!"
"Huh...? You what?" she asked in disbelief.
Sasuke turned away from her and covered his face to hide the stupid blush that was creeping on his cheeks.
"Forget it...here" Sasuke handed her the envelope his brother gave earlier and got up
"Itachi told me to give it to you...I don't know what it is so don't ask me."
"Oh...hmm." she stared down at it as he looked around to see her room was a lot smaller than his...then again she doesn't have much in here...
"Wait here, I'm gonna go to the store real quick" Sasuke walked over to the door and paused as he looked over at her. "And if you move, I'll kill you" he managed to growl out as he watched her eyes widened and she quickly nodded.
Sasuke was about to close the door when he heard her clear her throat and call his name.
"What?"
"Ahh..." -blushes- "I'm sorry...about getting mad...I wasn't feeling so well that's why I burst..So don't hate me too much okay?"
Don't smirk, don't smirk
"Whatever loser," he smirked.
She smiled back before placing the covers over her mouth as he quickly looked away and shut the door.
Sasuke placed a hand over his heart and took in a few deep breaths before heading over to the convenience store to pick up some stuff for her.
He walked over to his car to see Karin running over to him.
She waved at him as she ran closer and waited a minute to catch her breath.
"Hey Sasuke..." she panted.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
"Ahh well your mother told me she accidentally gave you my dress for Sakura so I came to get it"
Why would my mother make an obvious mistake like tha...?.
"Ahh...you sure?"
"Yeah, oh come on you think I'm making this up? It's a black and white dress."
Sasuke unlocked the backdoor and looked into the bag to see a black and white dress.
"Hn, I see, well here..."
She snagged it off his hand and smiled.
"Thanks! Hey you think you can give hima lift to my house?"
"I'm heading somewhere else right now" he told her.
She pouted and sadly smiled at him as he stepped in, honestly he didn't feel like having her sit in the car and gossip even more about people with him, he had something to do right now.
Sasuke waved bye to her before driving out of his driveway and off to the convenience store.
Sasuke stepped in and walked right to the register because he honestly had no clue what the Hell he needed to make her feel better.
"Ahh, excuse me?" he asked a worker
"Yes, one second" a worker sang as the shelf turned around and immediately lit up like a candle when she looked up to see it was him.
"Hello Sasuke, how can I help you today hm?" she asked.
Come on Sasuke just tell her what you need...
"I was wondering if you could help himlook for something someone with a cold might need."
"Aww sure thing sweetie" she smiled.
She walked over and grabbed a basket and started to fill it with a heating pad, a box of soup (that's weird), pills and some cough medicine.
She brought it over to the cash register and began to scan it all.
"So is this all for you Sasuke?"
"Ahh well...it's actually for my... wife" he mumbled out, he slapped his hand over his mouth and immediately felt his cheeks burst red.
Thump Thump Thump Thump Thump
Shit, stop beating like that you stupid heart!
Sasuke clenched his shirt real quick as he felt his cheeks flush a darker red as he watched the nice old lady star to laugh.
"The cute girl with the pink hair right...? Sakura am I right?"
"Ahh hm...yes" cough cough "hah...heh..."
He couldn't stop but feel his heart clench as his own words echoed in his mind.
That was the first time since he's been married that he ever mentioned Sakura being his wife.
"Hahaha oh well, you might want to take some of the fever medicine yourself, your face is red and you're burning up" She laughed out as she gently placed her hand over his forehead.
"That's cause you embarrassed him you crazy old woman" another guy called Shin said.
"Oh did I now? Hahaha sorry Sasuke"
"Ignore my wife, kid; she didn't take her pills today."
The old lady laughed as her husband rolled his eyes as he handed him his receipt.
"Hn, thank you and um sorry for the trouble."
"It's no trouble at all, cohimback again Sasuke"
"Bye bye Sasuke!" Kiko called.
Sasuke grabbed his bag and glanced over to his right to see a giant box of ferrero rochers chocolates
Hmm...
He went over and grabbed it to see it was actually pretty pricey for 40 pieces of chocolate
Sasuke walked over and asked if they can ring this up as well.
"Oh, does your wife like this chocolate Sasuke?"
"I'm hoping so" he chuckled "she's pretty sick, not sure if she'll be able to taste it or not."
"Oh well it's the thought that counts right? I'm sure she'll be thankful her wonderful husband bought her such delicious treats."
Sasuke smiled as he felt his cheeks flare up again at the word husband and wife...
Fuck
He quickly nodded before grabbing the box and headed back to his car. The thoughts of Sakura began to flood his mind again.
Ba-thump...Ba-thump..
-blush- "...don't hate me too much okay?"
Sasuke narrowed his eyes and blushed when he remembered what he said back in the store..
"it's actually for my...wife..."
ba-thump ba-thump ba-thump
"Men don't blush Sasuke, Men don't blush!" he said to himself.
Wife...
Sasuke felt his cheeks flush red again as he drove back home, hoping to Kami the stain on his face goes away before he steps in the house
"Oh my gooooooodddddddd!" (Sakura coughed.
Ugh, She feels like crap right now, her body was sore, she has a headache and this awful cough just won't get off her chest, it was horrible.
I wonder where Sasuke went...
Sakura was about to get up and check herself when she heard footsteps come closer to her bed.
She flew back in her bed and immediately went under the covers the second she heard him growl.
"Were you about to get up huh?"
"Meep" Sakura shook her head 'no' over and over as he laughed and walked over, took off the covers and grabbed her cheek. "Didn't I threaten you to stay in bed huh?"
"Oww Sasuke let go it hurts more than usual 'cause I'm sick" she groaned out before coughing again.
"Ahh, hn...s-sorry" he mumbled. His hand let go, and she felt him touch her cheek gently before moving away.
He pulled over a chair and sat next to her with a bunch of bags on the floor near him
"Where did you go?" she asked.
"Convenience store...I uh...had to pick sohimstuff up for the house so...here."
He looked away and handed her a bag.
Sakura tried not to smile as she looked inside to see different kinds of medicine, some weird box soup and a heat pouch inside.
"Is this for me?"
His cheeks were stained red as he kept his face away from her and nodded.
Haha aww, how cute!
"Thank you," Sakura sniffed.
She took out the stuff and grabbed the soup and handed it over to him.
"Can you make this for me?"
He shot an eyebrow at her before grabbing it off her hand and looked down at it.
"You want me to make this?"
"Mhm, I'm hungry."
"Hn...You need to eat something before you take any of the medicine...I'll make it."
"Ah really? Thank you Sasuke" Sakura smiled at him, and she saw him smirk before he grabbed a pillow and shoved it over her face making her lay back down on the bed.
"Shut up, stay here and do something while I go make this"
"You do know how to make soup right?"
He looked at her with a completely blank look on his face.
"Of course..." he answered.
"Meaning it's not made..It just has the seasoning in there and you have to make it yourself."
His eyes widened and his face looked completely shocked before he shook his head and looked away.
"Easy." He spoke.
Sakura began to laugh a bit as she handed the box over to him and lay back down until she realized something...
"Sasuke...I can't sit here for the rest of the day I'll be bored." she told him.
"What do you want himto do?"
Sakura opened her arms out to him while he stood there looking completely confused.
"Take me downstairs"
"You're nuts" he answered.
"Sasuke!" -sniff sniff- "please..." she managed to squeak out before letting her tears stream down her warm face.
"Okay, okay..." -sigh- "just don't cry...your fever will worsen..."
"Yay!"
He gently pulled her into his arms and held her tightly with one arm as he grabbed the other stuff in his other hand and walked her downstairs and placed Sakura on the sofa.
"Thank youuuuu!" She thanked.
"Yeah yeah...psycho" he mumbled and she threw a pillow at him making him stumble over.
He growled as his head quickly turned back to her. Sakura stuck her tongue out him before hiding underneath the blanket.
"Why you-"
"Don't hurt himI'm sick!"
She heard him breathe heavily once before turning around back towards the kitchen.
Sakura waited till he was out of range and started to laugh.
Sasuke's restraining himself because I'm sick? Oh Kami, finally, FINALLY this is my chance to finally give him what he deserves...
Sasuke Uchiha, you are officially my servant...for now.
Sakura laid back against the sofa and sighed deeply trying to relax her body until...
Boom!
"Huh!? Uh Sasuke...are you okay?"
What just exploded?
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!"
"What's what?" Sakura yelled back into the kitchen and he walked in with a spoon in his hand.
"Nothing, relax, just shut up and watch TV while I make this" he told her.
Sakura slowly nodded her head and sat back as she watched him roll up his sleeves and crack his knuckles and neck before heading back into the kitchen as if he was ready to fight.
Within seconds, weird crazy noises started coming from the kitchen...
..He's making a complete mess in there...and I'm going to be the one who ends up cleaning it all up...
"Ugh..." she groaned.
Sakura smacked a pillow over her head as she began to question whether or not this was her revenge or his...?
BOOM, CRASH
"What the Fuck?!" Sasuke yelled.
