Recap:
-In the basement-
"7 down, 6 to go." One figure announced, as a puff of smoke appeared, the big blob in the dark corners disappearing.
"Yes, It is time to take revenge," The other replied, putting away a scroll.
"Yes, indeed, our monster will take care of everything."
They both laughed evilly as thunder rolled across the horizon again, the funnel cloud outside just barely touching the earth's surface.
Monster in the Basement
Chapter 9
One Less and Kisses
--
His grip loosened on her wrists as she slowly gave way to this intoxicating feeling that was sprouting inside her. She loved the feeling yes, but she couldn't help but to feel an ounce of regret spill and empty out into her conscious. Her older brother, Sasori, her Sasori, has been taken by the unknown beast while she stood there with the love of her life, caressing her and making her feel like she's everything. She loved her twisted older brother as much as life itself and it would kill her if anything happened to him, like now. But while her brain sent signals to her legs to move, they somehow, wouldn't budge. A lone tear, strayed from her eye, sliding down her almost pale cheek. His hand reached out and wiped the tear away, then gazed down into her hazel orbs, all her worries and thoughts becoming lost in the dark depths of his onyx colored eyes.
"Why are you crying." he asked, his hot breath, tickling her skin.
"Sasori..He needs me." She replied, focusing her attention on the soft, fuzzy rug that blanketed the cold tile underneath.
"I'm sure Sasori will be fine." Itachi said softly.
-Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto and Hinata-
"Why did this all happen?" She thought, as she sat in front of the Uchiha heir, lightly applying pressure on his forehead with a damp wash cloth.
"How do you think Naruto and Hinata are?" Sasuke asked, catching Sakura off guard.
"Huh, Oh, I'm sure they're fine." She replied, faking a smile. "I hope." She thought, remembering the scene that occurred almost one hour ago.
::Flashback::
"Sasuke, I think it would be best if Hinata and I went around to find Itachi and Ayama, I mean, they have been gone for a while." Naruto stated, possessively holding Hinata's tiny hand within his own.
"No your not going anywhere, I don't think it would, you could get yourself captured!" Sasuke replied, refusing the statement his friend had spoken.
"Sasuke, don't tell me what to do, you don't OWN me." His voice rang in Sasuke's ears, coldly.
Seething with frustration, he glanced back up at the blonde boy watching him intently, and gave him his trademark 'Hn'. Naruto smiled and pointed a thumbs up, relieving Sasuke a bit. A bit.
"We'll come back soon Sasuke, Believe it." he coolly remarked, before he and Hinata quietly hurried out of the bedroom.
Sakura had gotten up to go after them, but her wrist was caught, thus preventing her from stalking away. He lightly pulled her down, and her elbow harshly collided with his forehead. Gripping his throbbing head, Sakura hurried into the bathroom for something to stop the swelling of the bump. She sat down in front of him, with a damp washcloth in hand.
::End Flashback::
"I really am sorry you know." She told him, as he winced from the cool touch.
"And for the hundredth time, it wasn't your fault." He replied, voice lacking emotion.
She slightly blushed, but shrugged it off, continuing with aiding Sasuke's head injury. A thought, that had been buzzing around in her head all day, made it's way to the front of the list in her mind. She had to know. She wasn't sure of the rumors, so she thought she would just ask him anyways, despite the little scene they had the day before.
He quietly gazed at her, his eyes taking in her features that he hadn't noticed before. She smelt like cherries, mixing with a hint of lilac. Her intoxicating aroma filled his nose and he somehow became drawn to it, forgetting that she was sitting right in front of him.
"Sasuke?" She whispered, noticing him staring off into space.
"Huh?" He replied, dumbly, hearing her giggle at his reaction.
"What were you looking at that seems so fascinating?" She implied, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
"Nothing."
You
"Oh."
"Anyways, Sasuke I've been meaning to ask you something that I heard the other day in school." She told him, averting her gaze towards the floor that took up the empty space between them.
"What is it?"
"I was wondering, but, I heard from my friend--"
"Ino." He interrupted.
"Yeah, I heard that you well..uhm..like me."
"Oh?" He smirked, deviously.
"Yeah, so is it.. heh. You know...True?" She asked. As soon as the words left her lips she clasped her hands over her mouth, regretting every word she had just spoken.
She waited for his reaction. Studying his features, she watched as the corner of his lip tugged upwards. "What's he doing?" She inwardly asked herself. Some part inside her hoped that he would smile. She watched his face intently as his lips formed a smirk. "He smirked?!" Sakura had asked him a very important and bothersome question that had been floating around in her head for a few days and all she gets is a lousy smirk? Her eyes narrowed as she heard him chuckle faintly from her reaction.
"What's so funny?!" She shouted, simply annoyed with his 'I'm too cool for you' attitude.
"You really are that dumb Sakura?"
She was so filled with anger she hadn't realized the space between them had been sealed. She attempted to open her mouth to replied to his cocky statement or rather 'question' when she had noticed that a pair of lips were blocking hers. They felt soft against her own, they were gentle. She peered at the owner of these lips, who happened to be Sasuke Uchiha, the 'supposedly' cold hearted, arrogant jerk that she fell in love with. It was then when the light bulb went on inside her head. "He's kissing me!? But as soon as it came it abruptly ended. Sasuke had just pulled away a little, so he could stare into her eyes.
When he saw a certain emotion in her green orbs he began to get the feeling he had done something wrong. He had begun to move back towards the wall, away from the teenage girl that sat adjacent to his being when he felt something tug at his shirt. Looking down, he saw the same girl, his girl, pull him into a tight embrace, seeking his warmth. Relief washed over him as he wrapped his arms around her body, protectively.
"So I take that as a yes?" She asked, listening to his heartbeat as her head lay on his chest.
"What do you think pinky?" he replied, receiving an amused laugh from the small girl he held so close to him.
And they stayed like that, for the longest time ever, until they heard the shrill scream of their very own Hinata.
-Naruto and Hinata (you know during Sakura's little 'adventure' with Sasuke)-
"Naruto-Kun are we even going the right way?" She asked, seeking the answers from said boy.
I'm pretty sure we are Hinata," Naruto replied, giving her hand a light squeeze. "Sasuke's house is pretty confusing."
"Like a maze?" She asked looking up into his big blue eyes.
"Yeah, exactly."
They had stopped walking. Naruto was just staring down into her pearly white eyes, trying to pull out her emotions, so he could read them. Her eyes were just so mysterious. He was intrigued by them. He couldn't resist those eyes. In general, he couldn't resist her.
He wanted her.
He needed her.
He loved her.
Naruto swiftly grabbed her waist and pulled the Hyuuga close. One hand caressed her cheek while the other lingered on her waist, keeping her stationed near his body. She gazed into his eyes and felt her heart skip a beat. Her rosy cheeks growing redder and redder by the millisecond, as if it were possible.
"Hinata, I..." He began, pushing her chin upwards with his fingers.
"Yes, N-Naruto-Kun?" he hesitantly asked, resting her hands on his chest.
"I..I."
"..."
Hinata waited patiently for him to choke out the rest of the words he was telling her. Hinata was fearing for the worst, like having Naruto tell her he wasn't in love with her, he just liked her or something else. How she hoped it wouldn't be what she thought. And apparently, her thoughts were incorrect, as she heard him slip out the last 2 words that were barely audible, but Hinata heard it.
"You, You do?" She stammered, feeling like she was going to faint any second.
"I do."
"Naruto-Kun. I love you too." She replied, her mind, jumping for joy, as he pulled her forward and lightly placed his lips onto hers ever so gently, but also filled with passion. And they stayed were they were for almost 10 minutes, just kissing each other with a passionate love that neither knew they had until now.
But things changed for the worst as the shadows around them quickly grew darker. Black arms shot from the darkness, clutching onto Naruto with it's brute strength. Hinata held onto him for dear life, for she did not want to let him go.
"I'll see you soon, Hinata." He whispered, giving her one more kiss before he disappeared into the black abyss. Then she did what She thought She only could do from the situation. She screamed. She had broken the soothing silence, from the rain, inside the house.
