Maybe happiness just wasn't on my plate. My father's dead, I'm in an arranged marriage, my mother's sleeping with the father of the son who raped me. I don't know what to do or think any more. I just want to die…
Sakura woke up early that morning. The maids helped her put on a more heavy and expensive kimono. It was pink with green and silver birds on it. Today she was going to have brunch with the Uchihas and Lee's family. She was not looking forward to it. Her lips were painted red and pink eye shadow and blush brushed on her face. Her hair dresser pressed her hair and pinned it up. All the pink made her look like an innocent angel. Mrs. Haruno stood in the doorway of Sakura's room and looked at her daughter. Sakura was looking at herself in the mirror, not even blinking. Mrs. Haruno blew smoke into the air and walked over to Sakura. She was dressed up in the red version of Sakura's outfit. She knelt next to her and touched her neck.
"I love you, Sakura." She kissed her on the cheek and stood up.
The brunch was at the Uchiha palace in the garden. Sakura was standing with Lee, listening to him tell her how beautiful she looked. Not trying to be rude she just smiled. They sat at the table and Sakura was unusually quiet. Sasuke and Itachi came out the palace and sat not soon after. Fugaku cleared his throat and raised his wine glass.
"We are celebrating the joining of two lovely children," he bellowed. His voice sickened her. Lee nudged Sakura who kept looking down. She didn't want to look up. She didn't want to see Sasuke. Sasuke shrugged and drunk his wine.
"Where's Ino," Sakura asked looking up.
"She didn't feel well," answered Mikoto.
Sakura nodded. She wanted to go talk to Ino and tell her about how hurt she was.
"I need to use the bathroom," Sakura excused hurriedly getting up and running into the palace. She ran crying up the stairs and down the hall. She opened Ino's door and crept in. Ino was sleeping peacefully. She looked like she had a fever. Sakura climbed under the sheets with her and went into a fitful sleep.
"What is Sakura doing in there," questioned Mrs. Haruno.
"I'll go check on her," offered Sasuke. The adults nodded and he quickly got up. He checked the bathroom and them it dawned on him. Ino. He opened Ino's room to see Ino and Sakura were cuddled up sleeping. Sakura looked so peaceful sleeping. All the pink made her look like an angel. He left the room and waited for her to get up.
Sakura slowly awakened and climbed out of Ino's bed. She mentally thanked her and slipped out of her room. Someone grabbed her and put their hand over her mouth. She couldn't see who it was though. She felt herself being pulled into a room. The person released her and she recognized her kidnapper. She ran for the door, but he grabbed her.
"Please, Sasuke don't," she screamed. He smirked and pushed her on his bed.
"Just give me another try," he grunted trying to restrain her arms.
"No, No," she panted.
"What could be taking them so long," Lee pondered.
"I'll go," offered Itachi. The adults nodded in approval and he ran into the palace. He really just wanted to check on his beloved Ino. He was opening her door, but he heard muffled moans and shrieks. He walked down the hall and stood in front of Sasuke's door. He was probably with a maid.
"Please stop," the girl begged through tears. That sounded a lot like Sakura. Itachi flung open the door. Sasuke was on top of Sakura kissing her. He didn't get to ravish her as yet and now he definitely couldn't.
"What the hell is going on," Itachi exclaimed. Sakura pushed Sasuke off and ran to Itachi in a fit of tears.
"Nothing," Sasuke asked replied getting off the floor.
Sakura clung onto Itachi in heavy fit of tears almost ruining her make-up. He patted her back and glared at Sasuke.
After a promise not to report the attack, Sakura was allowed to go back outside leaving the brothers to talk.
"What on earth is wrong with you," Itachi growled gripping Sasuke's arm.
"Let me go," Sasuke protested, trying to tug away.
"You stay away from her, you hear me," Itachi gritted through his teeth. He hit Sasuke on his head and Sasuke massaged his abused temples.
"Okay, fine," he responded grumpily.
"Sakura dear, where were you? We were worried," asked Mrs. Haruno.
Sakura sat down and fumbled with her hands.
"I have a headache mother and I really don't feel well."
"Well, maybe its best if we cut this brunch short," Lee chirped in.
Sakura let out a thankful sigh. The farther she was away from the Uchihas the happier she would be.
"Why I guess so," Fugaku said a bit disappointed.
Sakura was curled up in a ball under her thick and heavy blankets. It had been two weeks and she felt worse and worse. She was vomiting frequently and suffered terrible headaches. The maid had left a steaming hot bowl of soup and hot tea on the dresser. Sakura refused to leave her barracks. She just wanted to stay in the comfort of her home and die. Today she and Lee were supposed to go out of town to pick up some jewelry. That was as weeklong trip and the doctor confirmed Sakura was in no position to go out for that long. So in her place her mother went. This was fine with her, because she didn't enjoy the constant nagging of her mother.
Sakura heard her door creak open and footsteps approaching the bed. She guessed it was probably the maid about to coax her into eating, which she had not been doing lately.
Sakura closed her eyes and when she opened them she let out a terrified scream. The stranger covered her mouth quickly and Sakura rolled away. He jumped on the bed and restrained he arms.
"Please Sasuke, just leave me alone," she whispered. The tears were running down her now very pale, but pink cheeks. His eyes were not mocking her this time. They were filled with sorrow and regret. He looked down at the woman he loved and felt horrible for what was happening to her. Her hair look dull, she could almost fade into her white pillow, and she looked so frail.
"I'm sorry," he stated.
She looked at him for a long time and then felt his lips embrace her face. She trembled under his touch and was mentally begging him to stop. But, when it came to Sasuke she could never say no.
He kissed her tiny fingers that were rested on the laces off her nightgown. He slowly pulled and loosened the laces and her eyes were empty. His hands wandered in her gown and her eyes widened a little. She heard him let out a little grunt and then stop. He pulled the gown down, revealing her supple breasts. He played with her nipple before catching it in his mouth. The roughness of his tongue mixed with the wet warm saliva was enough to send her flying in pleasure. He stopped and looked in her emerald eyes. One of his hands went up her gown and landed on the lining of her underwear. Her hand caught his quick and he just stared at her. Without a fight he removed her hand and drew down her underwear. The cold air hit her womanhood, making her shiver. She heard his pants unzip and him fumbling in his pants for something. Then she felt something long and hard against her leg. She immediately began to squirm.
He gave her that look again and she slowly relaxed. She felt that long, hard thing of his go inside her and she gasped. This feeling was new to her. It wasn't painful and heartless like before. Now it had meaning to it. Love maybe. He hovered over her pounding in her tight insides. One hand was on the silk sheets and the other hugging her breast. They stared at each other and she let out tiny little moans. She winced every so often and he grunted towards the end. He let out five sighs and then she felt a warm shooting liquid go through her.
Sasuke rested his head in the crook of her neck and then bent back on his knees. He tucked his long hard thing back in his pants and zipped them back up. He kissed Sakura on the mouth and then she broke down into tears. Sasuke's eyes began to fill with worry and he rubbed his thumb on her wet cheek.
"I'm so sorry Sakura. B-But, I can't stop this feeling I get whenever I'm around you. Forgive me please. Tell me you love me," he sobbed resting his head on her chest, listening to her heart beat. Her hand slowly reached for his head. And before she knew it she was stroking his hair.
"I do love you Sasuke," she whispered. "But, you hurt me."
She turned over pulling the silk sheets to her naked body and sobbed into them. Sasuke stood wiping the tears from his face.
"I love you Sakura," he stated quietly, before turning away and exiting her room.
