Sadly: I don't own Naruto v-v enjoy!-HC:!
Chapter 22
Sasuke landed on his bed with a thud. He let his body get the best of him and he did that before he even had the chance to stop himself. He pressed a pillow to his face... "I'm a bigger idiot than Naruto" he growled.
Sasuke got up and ruffled his hair. Sasuke touched his lips...and before he realized it he was grinning...her lips...he licked his lip and bit down on his bottom lip for a long lingering moment before he heavily sighed. "I can't do this anymore...I'm officially done with this..." I'm going to keep her out of my life, by any means necessary...but how can I get what I want without losing what I have?...Sasuke thought long and hard for a while and decided to call the only other man he trusted with his life other than his blonde best friend...
ring...ring..click.
"Aniki..."
"Sasuke? ...why are you calling so late, little brother?"
"Hn...we need to talk"
"Are going breaking up with me Sasuke?"
"Aniki! I'm serious! ...can we talk?"
"About what, might I ask?"
Sasuke grimaced; his brother was playing with him, and enjoying it... "Sa...ku...ra.." he growled, and inhaled sharply, "can we talk about Sakura...?"
Itachi and Sasuke stayed silent for a long time as if the silence filled up all the other unspoken words the brothers wanted to say.
"I'll come over tomorrow" Itachi finally said over the phone.
Sasuke sighed, relieved, "Alright, thanks."
"Sleep tight little brother."
"Hn."
Next Day: Mid-Afternoon
Sasuke was sitting in the living room on the sofa waiting for Itachi to come when Sakura suddenly came downstairs. Sasuke glanced up at her and Sakura turned her head towards him. The heavy silence hung in the empty big house as the two stared at each other when suddenly...Sakura's face flamed up as her hand suddenly smacked against her mouth and she pointedly turned away from him and quickly walked into the kitchen.
Hn, what's with her? Why did she...? Sasuke's eyes slightly widened as he realized he touched her lips and Sasuke chuckled to himself, as he got up to answer the ringing door bell.
Sasuke lazily walked over to the door and opened it to see Itachi standing there with bags in his hands.
"Hey."
"Little brother." Itachi's voice was as cold as usual. Sasuke watched Itachi grip his bags as he stepped into the house.
Sasuke shot Itachi an eyebrow as he looked down at the pink and purple girly bags.
"Uh...Aniki what are-"
"They're not for you" Itachi said lowly... as he walked into the living room as Sakura walked in.
"Oh..Oniichan?..is that you?"
Sasuke watched as Sakura's lifeless form suddenly perk up as she smiled widely at Itachi.
Sasuke crossed his arms as he glanced over at his stilled brother who was suddenly twitching.
"Bu..nn...y..." Itachi whispered as he walked over to her. Sakura giggled as Itachi's hands suddenly went up and placed on her shoulders.
"Ahahaha, how are-ahhh!" Sasuke watched Itachi suddenly pull her in for a hard, tight, dramatic hug.
"Ermm uh...Oni-.."
"I missed you so much..." Itachi whispered into Sakura's ear. Sakura's eyes widened as she felt Itachi's grip tighten around her body...
"I..I missed you so very much, my sweet bunny" Itachi's voice was as gentle and sweet as it could possibly get.
Sakura felt tears tickle her eyes as she hugged him back just as tight when suddenly Itachi was pulled out of her arms.
"Eh?"
"Aniki..." Sasuke growled as he gripped his brother by the shirt and walked over to the sofa.
Sasuke sat down at the single sofa as Itachi made his way to the bigger one. Sasuke watched Itachi's surprisingly happy eyes watch Sakura attentively as he patted the seat next to him, "come bunny, Oniichan has a surprise for you."
"Fo-For me?" Sakura asked as she walked over and sat down next to him. Itachi picked up the bags off the floor and handed it over to her. Sakura gasped as she looked inside. She pulled out the pair of beautiful sparkling flats from the bag.
Gasp, "wowwwwwwwwwww! They're so beautifullll!"
"Hn, I saw them and thought they would be nice to wear with the new spring dress the store was offering..."
"Dress?!" Sakura looked in the other bag and pulled out the bright, soft pink and white dress. The skirt of the dress had lace and tulle underneath. The soft pink color matched Sakura's hair perfectly. The neckline was dotted with little sparkling gemstones.
"Wow..." she breathed out, it was beautiful.
"You..you bought this for me?.."
"Hey where's my present?!" Sasuke growled as Itachi looked at him and lazily stuck his tongue out, "nothing for the devil."
"Hey!" Sasuke growled as he watched sakura smiled. He looked over at the shoes and dress...for some reason he couldn't imagine Sakura wear something like that.
Hn, why is he spoiling her with expensive shit like that. It's not like she'll wear it anyway. It's just a waste of money. Sasuke thought to himself as he watched his brother closely.. His whole aura changed once he spotted Sakura near them...it's as if the two were in their own little world.
Itachi placed an arm around her and smiled, "of course. Do you like it?"
Sakura yelped as she wrapped her arms around Itachi, "I LOVE IT! THANK YOU!"
Itachi chuckled warmly as he softly rubbed her back, "nothing but the best for my little bunny."
Sakura giggled as she continued to hug him and looked down at the shoes. Itachi bought her a whole wardrobe full of clothes; he wasn't obligated to buy anything for her ever again.
"So pretty...hehehe I love them arigato gozaimasu!"
"Make sure you put them to good use okay?"
Sakura got up and placed her gifts back into the bag and picked them up, "I will, ah but if you'll excuse me I should get ready to leave, oh Oniichan, will you stay for dinner?"
"No"
"Yes."
Itachi and Sasuke said at the same time. Sakura watched as Sasuke and Itachi glared at each other, with the infamous Uchiha glare, when Itachi turned back to her, "I'll be more than glad to stay for dinner bunny, thank you."
Sakura smiled as she mentioned buying some groceries before dinner and ran off into her room and out the house.
"So cute" Itachi chuckled as he waved at Sakura through the window as she bowed and waved back before running off.
Sasuke arched an eyebrow at him and grimaced, for some reason Sasuke felt sick to his stomach and he knew for sure it wasn't the fact that he's eaten nothing but a piece of bread for breakfast. (Sakura didn't fix him breakfast out of anger).
"ah-hem" Sasuke cleared his throat as he crossed his arms waiting for his brother to turn to him again.
"Alright, why did you call me here?"
"I told you-"
"I know that part, I meant, why was it so important to talk about her that I had to leave work early to come here..."
Sasuke fiddled in his seat and hunched over as did Itachi. It seemed like whenever they were going to discuss something important the boys mimicked their father's movements.
"What I'm about to tell you..you can't tell anyone...swear you won't..." Sasuke said.
"Who am I going to tell Sasuke? Our parents?"
"Yes, our parents, now swear."
"Fine, I swear."
"Alright.." Sasuke sighed as he looked over at the vacant spot next to Itachi then looked up at his brother and locked eyes.
"I want a divorce..." Sasuke simply put it. It felt weird to say it being it as though Sasuke never acknowledged his actual marriage to Sakura.
Itachi made no movements, nor sound, he simply watched Sasuke waiting for him to continue.
"I want a divorce with her... I can't take it-"
"Take what?"
"This! Okay? THIS! I can't take living with her, everything that's happened with this house, at school, my friends, Karin, Naruto, myself! She's ruining my life and I don't want her to!" Itachi remained quiet.
"It's so annoying, she's so annoying. Everything is just... just. Fuck, Aniki I can't handle it anymore!"
Itachi crossed his arms and stayed quiet... Sasuke was frustrated he didn't know what else to say- .no, he knew. He just didn't know where to begin.
"Since the very first day, the very first fucking day I met her I've been going crazy. And now... now I just can't handle it!"
Sasuke and Itachi remained quiet as they heard the front door open. Sasuke growled in annoyance Sakura walked in with bags of groceries. "Oniichan are you still here?!" she called out and Itachi got to his feet as he walked over and grabbed the bags off her hands, "let me take that for you bunny."
"Ahh no-well...uh thank you" she rubbed the back of her neck as he walked into the kitchen with her. Sakura told him she will put the groceries away on her own and gently pushed him towards the living room. Itachi peeked into the kitchen to make sure sakura was an earful away as he turned back to his confused little brother. "You're right Sasuke a woman who takes time out of her day to cook for you is the worst."
Sasuke growled at his brother, "this isn't funny Aniki."
"You're right, what would be funny is if she's the one that pays for the groceries which is something you, the husband should at least do."
Sasuke cringed at his brother's statement each word more awkward than the other. "Is it my fault she doesn't ask me for money?" he gritted between his teeth.
Itachi chuckled stupid, STUPID little brother...when will you ever learn? "Otouto how do you expect a girl who is obviously frightened by you to ask for money? Why should she ask...it's not her responsibility to ask you... it's yours to tell her..."
Sasuke sighed roughly; this conversation was getting him nowhere. The two brothers stared at each other, speaking with their eyes. Sasuke decided to look off and lowered his head, "look I didn't ask you to come to speak against me, I asked you here because I'm desperate..." he mumbled. Sasuke's pride was always running from him when it came to his brother, simply because well Itachi was his much older, much respected older brother.
"Hn, I see..." Itachi sighed, it's been several months mother...looks like Sasuke needs much growing up to do.
Itachi closed his eyes and opened them again, his black orbs shot right into his little brother's. "I don't see why it's not plainly obvious to you as to what's going on here...but, if you claim you are desperate to have a divorce then I will speak with mother and father so they can work out an understanding.."
Sasuke sighed, he was in need for a long silent walk after this, "but I don't want to risk losing this house."
Itachi suddenly self a strange burning sensation light up from within...this rare feeling only emits a few times in his life, in other words...that statement really pissed Itachi off. Hn, this child, he dare use my precious bunny for his own selfish reason? Itachi's eyes narrowed and suddenly his brother didn't seem so childish anymore no...in fact, right this minute, Sasuke seemed to be more aware of his own situation than he puts out. Just breathe Itachi, this is your little brother...after all Sasuke never had good taste in women to begin with since he seems to be DYING for that wench he calls girlfriend.
"My bunny doesn't deserve you..." he lowly growled. Sasuke's eyes widened for a second when he felt his brother's aura shift negatively...what the Hell? ...why is he so pissed?
"Otouto."
Sasuke shook his head and looked at his brother, "Hn?"
"Let me ask you something important."
Sasuke nodded his head, "what?"
"Which is more important to you: your independence...or your freedom?"
"What's the difference?"
It was quiet again. Itachi felt he no longer had a chance of pushing his brother's clouded mind towards the sun. He simply closed his eyes and scoffed, "figure it out on your own and come back to me when you realize what I just asked you." Itachi got up and began walking towards the kitchen when Sasuke got up after him, "wait! How can I answer you if I barely understood what you asked?!"
Itachi turned half way and smirked at Sasuke, " it's elementary little brother, once you understand what I asked then you'll know how to answer now if you'll excuse me, I have a bunny I've been wanting to hug for some time now." (thank you HappyCrayon for finally letting me have this moment.^/_\^) Itachi walked towards the kitchen and turned away from his brother, "besides, I think you it's about time you cool off your mind...little brother."
Sasuke watches his brother walk into the kitchen and pointedly walked back to the sofa to grab his phone.
Itachi knocked along the wall and stepped in, as Sakura finally put all the groceries away.
"Oh, Oniichan!" Itachi's face made no change he simply opened his arms and Sakura pounced into his arms hugging him tightly. Sakura smiles as she pulls away and smiles at him, "Ahh Oniichan is there anything in particular you'd like to have for dinner?"
Itachi folds his arms as he smirks at her, "I'll eat anything you cook bunny, I'm sure your cooking is delicious."
Sakura giggled, "No I insist, I'll cook whatever you like, or at least try to, I'm not much of a chef but I do know my way around the kitchen"
Itachi gently took her hand as she continued rambling on and held her small hand in his, "is that so?"
"Mhm! so you just tell me what you-eeeeep!" Itachi pulls Sakura in for another tight hug,I missed you...I missed you so much...
She hugs him back when suddenly she begins wiggling in his arms, "ahh Oniichan."
"Hm?" Itachi's arms move down towards the small of her back as her hands rest on his arm. "Wahh aren't you hot in that blazer?"
"Aa."
"Well then take it off! Did you just come back from work?" Itachi nodded and just before he reached to unbutton his suit jacket, Sakura was already doing the job, "don't mind me Oniichan, I'll just get rid of this thing for ya!"
Itachi gently touched the top of her head as Sakura's small lips formed a little smile. "Thank you."
"Mmm!"
"And I did just come back from work; it's quite tiring having to run a whole company..." His voice trailed off in Sasuke's mind as he peeked into the kitchen as he listens to them talk and
watched Sakura help Itachi take his coat off.. His eyes wander between the two when suddenly they fly back to Itachi stands there with much love... flooding in his eyes as Sakura happily folds his sweater and puts it aside.
Hn...disgusting. Sasuke narrows his eyes as he pointedly looks away and he roughly wipes his lips in remembrance of that kiss from last night. Damn I'm regretting that moment more and more..."I need to get out of here..." Sasuke looks down when he feels his phone vibrate and steps away from the kitchen to answer it.
Meanwhile, back in the kitchen Sakura and Itachi discuss the much interesting world of business.
"Mmm that sounds like a hard job..." she says leaning against the counter with her hand placed against the edge. Itachi sighs as he tucks his hands into the edge of his pockets.
"Mm, indeed, but sigh once I get into the hang of things, there won't be much for me to do besides giving orders."
Sakura smiled as she watched Itachi tuck his forefinger in between his collar.
"Is the tie bothering you?"
"Aa...do you mind?" he suddenly asks as he moves his hand away and smirks at her.
She walks over to him and stands on her tippy toes a bit. Sasuke was tall, but Itachi was much taller... Sakura's height of 5'3 didn't help her much at this point.
"Gah, so tall" she mumbled making Itachi softly chuckle as he slowly leaned in, "is that better for you, bunny?"
"Mhm!" she chirps as begins to loosen his silk black tie.
"Arms please" she commands and Itachi straights his arms out at her and Sakura unbuttons the cuffs as she begins to fold them up.
"Oooooooo this is a very nice shirt" she laughs as Itachi continues to watch her with much love drowned in his orbs. Something inside of him swelled up as he watched her attentively care to him... this kind of attention...was something Itachi never really received.
"There!" She says as she steps back and places her hands to her hips when she looks up at him and notices the buttons to his shirt. Assuming he wasn't completely comfortable.
"Oniichan?"
"Mm?"
Sakura beckons him with her hand indicating him to lower and move forward. Itachi smirks as leans forward. Sakura unbuttons the two buttons at the top of his dress shirt and Itachi grabs her both her wrists firmly in his hands, and leans in closer, "are these gestures meant to lead me on...little bunny?" he whispered into her ear and immediately felt heat rise to her face. Sakura quickly pushes back and begins to fluster, "huh!? wha...no..I- uh I'm sorry I didn't- i wasn't-" Itachi chuckles as hugs her again, as tight as possible. Sasuke walks back in to see Sakura embraced in Itachi's arms...what the hell is her problem? Taking off his coat like that, asking him about work, hn, who does she think she is?..HIS WIFE?! Sasuke towards the door after deciding he won't come back for a few minutes and with a hard slam to the door Sasuke leaves the house.
Hn, tisk tisk little brother, jealousy doesn't suit you...Itachi smirks as he thinks of his little brothers antics. His black eyes followed Sakura as she picked some stuff out from the fridge when she suddenly turned around and puffs out her cheeks angrily.
Itachi smirks as he walks over to her and tilts her chin up, "what's wrong? ...hm?"
"Mmm I'm not so happy with you Oniichan hmph!"
"Oh really now?" he asked amused by the way she acts childish around him.
"Yes!" she chirps back as she crosses her arms and looks away.
Itachi holds back a big cheesy smile waiting to burst out; instead he simply grins as he grabs her by her waist and sets her on top of the kitchen counter. Itachi locks her between his arms and leans in to her, she blushes a deep red and avoids his gaze, "I-I want to make something good for you to eat... but how am I suppose to know what to make if you won't tell me anything!"
Itachi suddenly starts laughing, so cute...so so cute... Itachi smiled revealing his white shiny pearls to Sakura as he lifted her chin up and gently touched her cheek, "is that really bothering you?"
Sakura's eyes widen and immediately she feels her heart pound against her chest...his ...his smile..ahh-I'm staring! Sakura's head shoots downwards in hope he doesn't noticed her flushed cheeks.
"Yes..." she mumbled as she looked down at her legs, "I never had the chance to thank you for all that you've done for me... I know it sounds silly but it's a big deal for me..."
"Bunny you're spoiling me...and honestly I'm up for anything."
"Hmmmm really then how does chicken parmesan sound?"
"Perfect."
Sakura clasps her hands together and cheers, "great! Then chicken parmesan it is!" Itachi helps her down, and she walks over to the fridge to take out the chicken and other ingredients. Itachi walks over to the table and watches her take out all sorts of things.
He walks over to the sink and washes his hands as she turns around and ties her apron. Sakura watches Itachi rub his hands, "alright bunny, is there anything I can help with?"
"Hmmm...do you mind cutting 2 large onions for me?" she asks as she looks into the fridge for more ingredients.
Itachi looks over to the counter and walks over to the cutting board. He stares down at the two large onions and the knife. hmmm...how should I go about this?... Itachi holds the knife and stares down at the onion. Okay...here we go.
Sakura began searching for the bag of parmesan cheese when she suddenly hears a very loud thud.
BANG BANG BANG.
Sakura jolts up and looks back to see the knife injected into the middle of the onion.
"Wha- Oniiichan what are you doing?!"
Itachi looks at her and smiles with anime eyes, innocently replying, "Oh, I'm chopping onions...like you asked." BANG BANG BANG! Itachi continued to smash the onion against the cutting board.
"Oh My..!" Sakura ran over to him and took the knife out of his hands, "ahahha it's okay Oniichan just sit there quietly, I'm sorry for asking you to do something like that"
"Aa, sorry I've never cooked on my own before..." Sakura took his big hand in both of hers and walked him over to the kitchen table.
"Oniichan just sit here, and rest, while I prepare dinner, and if anything you can go watch TV in the living room, dinner should be done soon." Sakura began walking off when Itachi gripped her hand firmly in his, Sakura turned around to look at him. Itachi smirks as he pulled her closer. Sakura blushed a deep red the second her eyes locked with his.
"Bunny," Itachi began, "I'm not being a burden am I?"
Sakura gasped and jumped into his arms, "nooooooooooooooo! Why would you think that?!"
Itachi laughed as he gently rubbed the small of her back, "just making sure"
"You'll never be a bother, now sit tight! I'll make you a snack in the meantime okay?"
"Hn" Itachi gave her a small smile and Sakura pranced over to the cabinets and pulled out a few snacks for Itachi to munch on while she prepares dinner.
"Now don't fill yourself up, or else you won't be able to eat dinner."
"yes mom" Itachi cooed. Sakura puckered her lips repressing the urge to smile like a goofball as Itachi covered his mouth, that goofy smile from earlier was rising to his face again.
The two talked among themselves while Sasuke witnessed the whole thing... he watched the two converse like a happy couple. Sasuke watched his brothers' eyes follow her lovingly...her every move caught Itachi's attention...the way she smiled, how she carefully placed things on the table, how she occasionally walked over to him asking him if he needed anything else.
Tch, what the hell is this? Itachi comes over for me, and in the end she ends up stealing him away from me too! What's with giving him snacks and babying him! The man's 22 years old he's very much capable of taking care of himself! Sasuke walked back to the sofa and landed on the sofa with a thud. He crossed his arms and grimaced as he pondered his brother's unusual behavior, when suddenly he remembered something about Itachi wanting to marry Sakura.....if he wanted to marry her then...why didn't he? Sasuke was well aware of his brother's stubborn behaviour, if Itachi wanted something he would get it...but...how did he even know about her to begin with?
Sasuke peeked back into the kitchen...Itachi wasn't smirking nor grinning, his face was the same, stoic, unemotional, but it was his eyes that showed the deep happiness he was feeling...the glint in his eyes were only seen by those who know Itachi a little more than the average person. They look like happy newlyweds...it's...it's... "The total opposite of how she is around me..." Sasuke walked back to the sofa and laid there for the remainder of the time.
A little while later, Sakura walked in and announced dinner was ready. Itachi quickly walked in as Sasuke took his time.
The brothers waited as Sakura began serving them. Itachi watched the two carefully as Sakura pointedly turned from Sasuke but continued to serve him food. He glared at her and Sakura began to mumble things under her breath yet.
"Here." she snarled at the younger Uchiha as she half-heartedly placed his plate in front of him.
Sakura turned to Itachi and smiled, "Oniichan is there anything else you want?" Itachi shook his head and bit into his food and immediately felt his heart pound. His eyes slightly widened at the taste of the food.
"Is..is it okay?" Sakura asked hesitantly and Itachi looked up at her and smiled.
"It's delicious bunny. Thank you for the meal"
Sakura's eyes widened and she smiled wide, "you're welcome! Please have more!" Sakura placed more veggie rice on his plate and added another piece of chicken. Sasuke scoffed as he looked down at his plate and handed it over to her, "here."
Sakura didn't even turn to him she simply took the plate and began to cut his chicken up.
Itachi's eyes glanced to Sasuke's plate, hm... interesting...she prepares his food to this extent?..He watched her place the chicken and rice together and placed a few pieces of vegetables. She mixed it all up and placed the plate back in front of him.
"here." she replied back just as cold as him.
Itachi held back a smirk as he watched a happy glint in Sasuke's eyes as he ate his food.
hhmmm...I see...
"Sasuke eat your broccoli." Sakura said her tone cold and distant as she took one bite of her food.
Itachi's eyes widened, he held back a laugh as he glanced at the two. Sasuke was slightly pushing the broccoli to the side of the plate and Sakura's head didn't even turn to him.
Sasuke growled at her as he continued to push the broccoli to the side, when Sakura grabbed a few more with her chopsticks and placed them in his plate.
"Eat them."
"Make me!"
"Sasuke, eat your broccoli! It's good for you!"
"What am I, a child?!"
"Well you're acting like one! You white baboon!"
White...baboon?...pbbbbbbbbttttttt Itachi suppressed his laughter as Sasuke's eyes narrowed at her.
"Really?! You're calling me a child when you respond with comments like that?!"
"Shut up and eat your broccoli Sasuke!"
Sasuke pushed his plate and crossed his arms, "I'm not eating your disgusting broccoli."
Sakura glared as she stared down at his plate to see he was done but the broccoli and a few carrots were still in place."
"Fine I guess you won't be getting any of MY disgusting dessert either."
She took his plate and angrily stalked over to the sink, mumbling unknown words at Sasuke.
"Stupid little mouse with that stupid mouth of hers trying to poison me with her broccoli..."
Sasuke cursed Sakura under his breath when he suddenly noticed Itachi staring at him.
"What?"
Itachi smirked, "oh...nothing." he wiped his mouth and grabbed his plate, "you don't mind if I eat your half of the cake do you...white baboon-"
"GO HOME ANIKI!"
Itachi chuckled as Sasuke angrily walked away.
"Hmph! Spoiled brat." Sakura cursed as Itachi walked over with his plate.
"Ahh just leave it here Oniichan I'll wash it."
"Are you sure?"
"Mhm, just wash your hands and sit in the living room, I'll have your tea and cake ready okay?"
"Aa...thank you bunny" Itachi patted her head knowing Sasuke was watching from behind and gave her a quick squeeze. He smirked at the sound of Sasuke's growled and lowly chuckled as he turned around slow enough to give his little brother time to run off into the sofa and pretend to check his phone.
Itachi walked into the living room as Sasuke scrolled through his phone for no particular reason. Itachi sat down a seat away from him and crossed his arms.
"Does she...always cook a full meal like that?" Itachi suddenly asked.
"Hn? ...yeah"
"...and does she always prepare your food that way?"
"Yeah..."
"Why...?"
Sasuke was quiet. Itachi knew Sasuke didn't want to say anything further than that.
"It's...good." he simply said.
"Aa. ...I see, and broccoli..Does she always argue with you about that?"
"Yeah...but she usually just breaks the broccoli into my food so i won't taste it..." Sasuke mumbled.
"Hmm... she does all that for you, huh? She really does sound like an evil wench. Don't worry Otouto I'll find a way to save you from her grasp, she's obviously torturing you here." Itachi replied back sarcastically.
"Okay Oniichan! I made this last minute so I'm not sure how it'll taste" Sakura cheered as she walked over to coffee table and placed the tray down.
Sakura handed Itachi his cake and took her piece. Itachi sipped his warm tea as he glanced at Sasuke who looked away from the cake. He glanced at Sakura who just carelessly poked her cake. She sighed as she suddenly got up and offered Sasuke her cake, "here...just eat it."
"No, you said you didn't want me eating your cake"
"Just eat it Sasuke, I only said that because broccoli is good for you, quit acting spoiled, and eat it"
"No- I don't want it, get it out of my face."
"Eat. The. Cake."
Sasuke remained silent...his threats no longer affected Sakura. Listening to her argue back made him feel a bit... childish. He sounded like a kid trying to get his mother to baby him.
She sighed sharply as she broke the cake into pieces and crumble the cake a bit and placed it down.
Sasuke glanced at it...he loved his cake like that but he's never told her he did. As tempting as it was his pride was much too important for him to fall under the spell of cake.
I'm not going to cave...
Itachi bit down on his lip to hide the grin he had coming on...what a baby...he actually likes her spoiling him doesn't he?..
"Ugh... so troublesome! I'm going upstairs! Please excuse me Oniichan." she growled as she suddenly got up and walked upstairs.
Sasuke glanced as he waited for her to slam her door shut and immediately grabbed the cake and began scarfing it down.
Itachi arched an eyebrow as he looked at his brother then quickly looked up to see Sakura tip-toe back near the stairs.
Aa...she said that to get him to eat
Sakura smiled at him and Itachi grinned back, smart thinking bunny.
"Otouto"
"Hn?"
"You're an idiot."
"What? How?"
Itachi glanced at the girl who sat at the top of the stairs as she leaned against the wall and watched Sasuke eat...
After dessert, Sakura waited a few minutes before coming down to clean up.
"How was the cake Oniichan?"
Itachi smiled as he handed her his plate and complimented it, although he wasn't big on sweets, Sakura's cooking was just too golden to pass on.
"Hmmm I see, I guess you ate the other cake too?" Sakura asked 'innocently'.
Sasuke coughed from shock as Itachi and Sakura bit down on their lip to suppress their laughs.
"Hn, I loved it."
"I'm glad you did-"
"I need some milk" Sasuke quickly said as he walked into the kitchen. He heard the two laugh as Sakura walked into the kitchen to wash the dishes.
After a few more hours, Itachi decided it was time to go.
"aww..would you like to stay over Oniicha-"
"no." Sasuke quickly said as he glared at his brother who gave him a glare just as dangerous as he gently patted Sakura.
"It's fine bunny, I'll stay over another time."
"I'll walk you out aniki."
"No." Itachi began as he gripped Sakura's shoulder, "I'd like to talk to her before I go..."
Sakura stepped out with Itachi, and Sasuke stepped away from them...not caring what they talk about...or at least trying not to.
Sakura closed the door behind her and stood against it, "umm..."
"Thank you" Itachi began, "thank you for tonight, I apologize for showing up randomly"
"Wah!" Sakura scoffed and fanned her hand, "its okay, it's okay, it's okay! This is your home too Oniichan, please.. come again. I enjoyed your company today, the house felt so alive today and I felt so happy cooking for you."
Itachi stared at her, unable to breathe, he sighed deeply as he stepped closer, "I hope next time you can put that much care into preparing my food just as you did for my little brother."
"Huh? Oh! That! Uh..." she scratched the side of her head, "heh...I..uh.."
"Will you?" he asked as he grinned at her and tilted his head to the side. Sakura slightly blushed as she nodded her head quickly, "s-sure Oniichan, anything for you."
Itachi opened his arms wide open and Sakura jumped into his arms, man she loved it when he did that!
"Sleep tight okay?"
Sakura suddenly became teary for some reason, "ahh...I will, get home safely...and have a goodnight okay?" Itachi hugged her tighter, "I will... thank you once more bunny."
Sakura opened her mouth to say something else when she felt something soft and moist press against her cheek.
She gasped as her eyes widened, immediately her face hit up as Itachi continued to kiss her cheek. He looked down at her and winked before walking into his car. Sakura's face lit up as she quickly gripped onto the door knob and waved... her heart fluttering inside of her...
Sakura stepped in quickly and pressed her hand against her cheek and took in a sharp breath...that..that surprised me.
Sasuke glared...he glared at her intensely...as he placed his hands into his pockets, "Hn, first my best friend, now my brother, who's next Sakura...?"
Sakura looked up at him, "huh? Ex-excuse me? What are you trying to say?"
"You know exactly what I'm saying..." Sasuke replied back before heading upstairs ignoring the rest of the words Sakura yelled back at him. He slammed his door hard and flopped onto the bed. He angrily pulled off his shirt and laid on his bed, his hands placed behind his head, "Hn, oh yeah, sure she can't stand me but she just loves him! ...what's so good about him anyway?! Is she that easy to please that he just had to show up with some petty gift and compliment her cooking?! it's not even that-" Sasuke bit down on his tongue, he knew for a fact he loved her cooking no matter how bad he disliked her...her cooking was something he enjoyed, it was the only thing he did like about her.
I kissed her knowing she'd hate me more... I want her to push me from her more and more! Sasuke spent a good time thinking about how he'll continue pushing her away, to get her further and further away... "She really hates me... she'll never be able to tolerate me...Hn, I'm glad she doesn't like me." Sasuke sat up and sighed, he sat there in silence when something suddenly hit his mind as he thought back to when he first saw Sakura...Karin...she said something about Sakura loving me...apparently she was in love with me and everyone knew about it.... "So why can't I remember? Why can't I even remember anything about her...? Wait- why does it matter?! I'm glad I don't, Naruto has the worst luck in the world to have a girl like that like him! Ha, he deserves it for being an idiot and doing stupid things, and now look he has a girl like Sakura after him. Sasuke smirked, "yeah... how shameful would it be to have everyone know that a girl like her actually likes you..pfft, good luck Dobe." nah..Dobe wouldn't be stupid enough to dump Hinata for Sakura... that would be like dropping cash for trash...I wonder what caused her to stop loving me so suddenly...
After much thought, Sasuke figured it wasn't important and all that mattered now was that he and sakura can never be together, and its highly impossible to stay with someone like her, "Aniki...please..please get me out of this..." he closed his eyes and took in a deep breath, get me out of this mess...
Next Day:
Karin was sitting at Ichiraku's waiting for her drink to come by when she saw kiba walk in, alright Karin, firsts thing's first, get this guy in.
"Kiiiiibaaaaaa-kuuuun!" Karin calls out and Kiba shoots her an eyebrow as he quickly walks over and takes a seat, "alright Karin what do you want?" he quickly asks.
"Geeze" Karin snarls, "nice to see you too friend."
Kiba rolls his eyes; he was very well aware Karin obviously needed something from him to have him call out to her like this.
The waitress drops off their drinks and Kiba takes a sip as Karin fiddles with her straw, "Okay I'll just come out and say it then: do you still like Hinata?"
Kiba arches his brow, and takes another sip..."yeah I do...but what does that have to do with this?"
"Well...do you want to get back together with her?"
Kiba lets out a dry, humourless, laugh, "I don't know if you noticed but...Hinata's in love with Naruto...why the hell would we get back together when she's obviously head over heels for another man?"
Karin smirks as the wheels in her head began to turn she leans forward and folds her hands, "what if I told you there was a way that I can get you together with Hinata..?"
"Why would you go through the trouble of doing that?"
"Simple. I want Sasuke" she says blankly. Kiba stares back at her confused... "What does me loving Hinata and her breaking up with Naruto, have to do with you wanting Sasuke. Aren't you together with him anyway?"
Karin rolls her eyes and looks at him again as she takes a sip of her diet cola, "I can't have Sasuke if he's married to sakura"
"Ha! Well that's your fault for not taking in his offer when he asked."
Karin gasped, "how did-"
"What doesn't Sasuke tell us Karin?"
"Ugh well! I changed my mind, and now I want him."
Kiba leaned back, "I still don't see how this involves us..."
"Really?! Are you boys blind or stupid?! Or both!? Can't you see that I can't have Sasuke if he's stuck with her, but she doesn't even want Sasuke because she likes Naruto!" Karin blurts out. Kiba's eyes widen at her words as he suddenly leans forward and slams his hands against the table... "...Sakura likes Naruto?! ...since when?!"
"How should I know?! Do you think I care?!" she crosses her arms and glares at him, "She likes him but Naruto is with Hinata. If Hinata and Naruto break up, then Naruto can be with Sakura, I'll have Sasuke, and Kiba you can be with Hinata sounds perfect right?" she quickly chirps up. Kiba sits back and lets her words sink in... Suddenly he narrows his eyes at her... "Karin what do you really want from me?"
"I want you to..." she began as she looked into his eyes, "win Hinata back so she can dump that idiot so he can be with Sakura and leave Sasuke and stay with me."
Kiba says nothing, he blinks as her words continue to sink in, when suddenly he looks to see she was completely serious, this bitch is fucked, "heh..hahahahahahahaha, you're crazy" he laughs as he suddenly pushes back getting ready to get up when Karin grabs his wrist, "will you help me or what?"
Kiba says nothing he just shakes his head at her his grin no longer leaving his face, she's really lost it.
"Well are you or aren't you...?"
Kiba pauses and looks at her again...he began thinking of what she said...of how Hinata might be hurt in the process but through all this he might have a chance to be with her...what do I say..?..
"Well...?"
Kiba closes his eyes and continues to grin as he pulls his arm away, "what do you think?" he asks as he turns away from her... "I'll give Hinata a call tonight"
Karin quickly gets up from her seat from excitement, "okay great!" she cheered as she suddenly walks next to him she turns around and smirks, "you'll pay for the drinks right? See ya!"
Kiba eyes her as she walks out the store, "hmph, crazy bitch." He looks down at his phone and eyes Hinata's number....I'll just text her.
Kiba: hey, you free? let's meet up. I wanna talk.
...
Hinata: :D Kiba-kun! okay, I'm just at Naruto's I'll meet up when I can, what time?
...
Kiba: take your time, I have all night.
Hinata: let's meet at the park: 8pm k?
Kiba: alright, cya.
Hinata: ^_^ see you.
Itachi watches Kiba walk out the store with his phone still in his hand. The Stoic Uchiha shakes his head, and sips his drink when he suddenly looks up to meet Kakashi's eye.
Hatake...Itachi nods his head at Kakashi who nods back.
Uchiha...Kakashi notices Itachi glance at Kiba...interesting conversation wasn't it.. Uchiha?
Itachi smirks, as if he can hear every word Kakashi spoke through his mind, Interesting indeed...that Karin..she's something isn't she.
Kakashi nodded his head as he crossed his arms. Itachi took a sip of his coffee as the two suddenly got up and walked over to the front to pay for their food.
"Hatake." Itachi simply put it not turning to look at the silver-haired man.
"Uchiha" Kakashi took out a 20 and placed it on the counter.
"Hn, take care of the school. Hatake."
"Take care of the house. Uchiha."
Both men kept quiet when they heard Karin come back in she walked up and ordered a decaf latte. They eyed her as she pulled out her phone, "let's meet up! I have things for my birthday I want to discuss." She grabbed her cup, "let's meet at food court in 10."
The two men watched her leave...and stayed quiet for a bit.
The men walked out the door and paused with their backs towards one another.
"Hatake."
"Uchiha"
No other words were exchanged as the two walked off their separate ways knowing what the other was thinking of at the moment, I'll protect you...to the best of my ability.
Sasuke was told to meet with his brother this weekend as he got ready to leave for the house. Sakura was at the hospital so it was the perfect time to go over. Sasuke and Itachi device a plan where Itachi tells him overhear everything their parents say to him, and it'll be his choice to listen.
"I'm going to leave my phone on...don't make a sound, don't even move...just. listen." Itachi blankly put it as he walked out the door and stepped into his father's office.
"Father, mother." he bowed as he stepped in and took a seat.
"Itachi-kun, why did you call us here so suddenly?"
"Ahh..well.." Itachi began he folded his hands and looked at his parents, "It's regarding Sasuke"
"My baby boy?! is he okay? Mikoto rose to her feet but Itachi quickly sat her back down.
"Sasuke is fine...physically...but emotionally I'm not so sure..."
Sasuke's heart began to beat rapidly...he couldn't at a steady pace, his chest felt heavy, burdened by the weight of suspense.
"what do you mean?"
"...I think Sasuke's up to his limit...mother...we all know you've decided on doing this for Sasuke's sake but...I think it's time to put an end to chase."
Mikoto and Fukgaku exchanged a look.
It's quiet...why are they so quit?! Sasuke felt beads of sweat began to form at the side of forehead.
"What do you mean?" he suddenly heard his mother's voice.
Itachi sighed, "I mean... I think it's time Sasuke's got a divorce..."
"What?! Why?!" suddenly Sasuke heard his parent's voice form in unison... Itachi sighed again... this was harder to say than he thought it would be.
Sasuke listened to the conversation but the more he listened the angrier he got. That is'... this is the final straw. Sasuke turned off his phone and stomped over to his dad's office.
"That's it!" he screamed, "I'm done with this, okay! I'm DONE I don't want this anymore! How could you guys, my own parents, risk my happiness for someone like HER?!"
"Ah...Sasuke-kun please-"
"No mom! I'm tired of this how many months has it been!? I can't control this feeling anymore. I'll go crazy! I'm already crazy! Every time I'm near her I feel the urge to break something! It's because of her my life's been ruined!"
"Uh Otouto."
"NO! I'M TALKING! JUST LISTEN TO ME! I loved Karin, you know I did! I told you before Aniki how I felt about her! yet you put me with that UGLY. ANNOYING. NASTY. GOOD-FOR-NOTHING. STUPID, SCARED MOUSE!"
"Sasuke Uchiha-"
"You guys are my parents! MINE, not hers! Why do you have to pay for her shit?! Why can't her dad do it!? did you really get her married to me so you can take care of her expenses?! is her father really that useless that he couldn't pay for his own daughter?! Why did she come back anyway?! Why didn't she just say in that rathole Suna and live there instead of coming here and ruining our-"
"I have your tea..." a voice suddenly spoke out.
Sasuke turned around to see Sakura standing there with a tray in her hand a small smile planted on her face. At first glance she seemed fine but the more you looked at her, you can see her whole body shake.
Did...did she hear?. Sasuke looked at his parents who looked away from him as his brother's face grew dark and grim...
Sasuke fell frozen...as did his parents and brother... the Uchiha family watched the pink haired girl walk over and place the tray down. She stood a bit after them and bowed, " sorry for intruding the door was open..."
"No...no-Sakura-chan I-" Mikoto couldn't bring out any words to say.
"Please excuse me" Sakura replied back quickly as she pointedly turned on her heel and walked out the room with the door just behind her. She clicked the door close and all heads turned to each other.
"How long was she standing there?" Sasuke suddenly asked.
"Long enough hear your shit you fucking little" Itachi grew angry as he walked to his brother and pushed him, "What's wrong with you!? I told you I would help, why did you resort to saying something like that?!"
Sasuke angrily pushed his brother back, "you know what?! I don't care if she heard me?! Why are you so afraid of-"
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" he screamed out as he suddenly punched his little brother in the face.
Sasuke kept his head the way it had landed and smirked, "heh..." he spat out the trickle of blood he tasted in his mouth, "you too...huh?..you never hit me before."
"Don't speak to me."
"Fine I won't."
"I won't either" and just like that Itachi walked out room as did Sasuke neither of the brothers look at each other.
Fugaku and Mikto looked at each other as Mikoto began to cry... "dear...what have we done?.." Fugaku sighed and rubbed his forehead, "it'll die out...I'm..I'm not sure what to say.."
"is it selfish of me to say I don't want to give her up?.."
Fugaku took his wife's hand and held it in his firmly, "I don't either..."
"That poor child... Sasuke..how can Sasuke-kun do that?"
" I..I don't know."
A few hours passed and Sasuke found himself walking into his old room. He opened the window and climbed out onto the roof of the house expecting to take in some fresh air instead he found himself intoxicated by the smell of...smoke.
His forehead creased, dad doesn't smoke... the only person that does is... Sasuke walked further down to see Itachi sitting there with his knees up as he held a cigarette to his mouth. Itachi wasn't one to smoke constantly, Itachi has massive control...which only meant he resorted to smoking when he was extremely frustrated...rare occasion for the calm older Uchiha brother.
Sasuke was about to walk out when he heard his brother call him out.
"Come here..I'm done" Itachi took his last breath and pressed the bud against the base of the roof...he hated smoking, despised it... but sadly he was weak when it came to trying to control immense amount of frustration, and one can only imagine how much it took for a man like Itachi to break down
"What do you want?" Sasuke growled, the pain on his face still fresh and agonizing.
"How's your jaw...?"
"Why do you care? You're the one that did this to me, I'm leaving"
"Stop" Itachi commanded. Sasuke paused... "Sit" Sasuke sharply sighed as he sat near his brother. Itachi popped in a few breath mints and took off his shirt to ring the smell of smoke out of his clothes.
"I'm sorry I hit you...little brother"
"No you're not" Sasuke flatly put it.
Itachi scoffed, "you're right I'm not, you're an idiot"
"Why am I here? Are you going to push me off the roof now?"
"No..." Itachi looked at him as Sasuke turned to look at his brother when Itachi suddenly poked his forehead leaning Sasuke's head back.
"But don't worry, I'm holding that for next time..."
The boys were quiet... "She ran out the house" Itachi began and suddenly Sasuke's heart skipped a beat, "I found her sitting alone near the parks nearby...I didn't bother her...she didn't seem like she wanted to talk but I did listen to her...she was crying alone..."
"Like always..." they muttered together.
Sasuke had nothing to say...he didn't know what to say.
"Let me tell you something little brother" Itachi suddenly began... he knew Sasuke wasn't in the mood to talk...but he wanted to make sure he got this message clear to his blind little brother...
"What?.." Sasuke asked.
Itachi took in a deep breath and looked away from his brother. "If I wanted, I could take Sakura out of your hands right this second." Sasuke's breathe knocked out of him, as Itachi continued, "I could take her and marry her on my own, I can make this girl into my wife, and have her fall in love with me all in one night. I could tell her things she wouldn't imagine ever coming from my mouth; I can make her forget about you, and Naruto and everything else in her life all together. I can give this girl my entire life, because she means the world to me." Sasuke didn't know how to respond so he decides to ask instead... "Do you...love her..?"
It was quiet again..when Itachi suddenly chuckled, "If it wasn't love then I wouldn't care for her sake...but that doesn't mean I don't love you either.. But my first statement still stands...point is I can take you from her right. This. Second. But...you know there is a very good lesson that's coming from being with her it's something you can't see... and with the way you're taking things you'll never see it...not even a glimpse of it."
".how...why...when did you start..."
"I fell in love with her long after you forgot about her...little brother. Hn... makes you think just how twisted I am for loving her without her knowledge" Itachi smirked as Sasuke just stared, shocked and confused from his brother's words...as always.
"...why did I forget her?"
"You tell me..." Itachi sighed as he got up when he looked back at his brother, "I'll ask you again Sasuke... do you want independence or...do you want freedom?"
Sasuke turns away from him still not understanding his question.
Itachi walks over to the window you have far too much to learn little brother, in this world, not every lesson is going to be handed to you on a silver platter, and not every answer will be answered straight to you, you have to look underneath, the underneath.
"Oh..and if you're wondering why you're getting all frustrated, confused...and afraid... about her..or things when it comes to her... it's because..."
BA-THUMP...no..Sasuke thought...Hell NO! his eyes widened as Itachi smirked knowing he hit the dot.
"It's because you...love-"
"NO! SHUT UP!" Sasuke snarled as he felt heat rise to his and neck.
Itachi chuckled, "get some ice your face is starting to look like a cherry"
Sasuke huffed heavily before sitting down as he moved his knees up and rested his arms on them. His heart was racing like mad and he felt anger speed up his pulse. I don't...I never have...and I never will... It was quiet again...
Sasuke sighed as he felt his heart still rising. ..who knew his brother's simple words can be so frightening. Sasuke laid back and covered his eyes with his forearm, "Fuck" he muttered as he let the burning sensation take over his body and form little beads of tears near his eyes... "DAMN IT!"
Kiba was sitting at the park as he watched his dog Akamaru run and play among himself, man how am I suppose to do this?..I mean I really do love her... Hinata was happier with me than she was ever with Naruto..
'Kiba-kun?" Hinata called out as she walked closer to him...it was almost 10 and Kiba felt bad he told her to meet him this late.
"Sorry Kiba I'm late"
"It's fine..."
"What is it that you have to talk about?"
Kiba looked down at her and grimaced, his heart ached, what was he suppose to do, he looked at her long and hard and then suddenly smirked, I know exactly what I should do...
"Hinata..."
"Yes?"
Kiba grabbed her by the shoulder and stared at her, "I need you to do me a favour."
"What is it Kiba-kun?"
He closed his eyes and opened them again, "I need you to..." he sighed, "I need you to break up with Naruto..."
Hinata stared wide eyed at Kiba. "What... why?"
"Because...I'm still in love with you Hinata."
Hinata moved back and covered her mouth...completely taken aback by her words.
"Kiba-kun I thought we-"
"Please just listen to me Hinata I'm trying to protect you-"
"By having me l-leave Naruto-kun?..no! I-I can't I-.."
"No Hinata listen there's more to this then what you're getting.."
"Huh?.." Hinata stared back at her best friend, confused..
Kiba took her hand and walked back to the swing, "come on, we have a lot to talk about.."
July 8th: Summer
3 months has passed since the incident at the Uchiha's house. Sakura devised a plan to spend more time at the hospital than at home to keep away from him. Unlike before Sakura didn't confront the boy or question him. Sakura packed Sasuke's food ahead of time and left them in the fridge instead of waiting for him to eat. As much as she hated the guy, she just didn't have the heart to let him starve, as well as let him rot in his dirty laundry... She hated herself every minute for not letting him just live in his own filth... She hasn't spoken a word or batted an eyelash at the guy since that night.
All in all, Sakura hasn't seen Sasuke, nor heard his voice these past few months... She hasn't even stepped foot into the same room as him let alone the same walking range. But all that's going to change since school's about to end for a few weeks...Yes, the time has come for Sakura's first summer back in the dreaded Hell that is Konoha...
