A knock resounded against The Godaime's door. She looked up from her paper work and quickly hid her bottle of sake from on top of the desk. Who could be bothering her at this time of a day?
"Come in." Tsunade said as she wearily eyed the door. She is getting so sick and tired of this job- always a new problem coming from around the bend. Hopefully this would be good news, instead of bad news.
Slowly the door opened and a flash of pink came into her view. She smiled, a warm smile, knowing that it could only be Sakura. As she suspected, it was Sakura coming into the room, but with a certain someone by the hand. Her eyebrows raised in surprise as she saw no one other then the Uchiha, himself, holding Sakura's hand.
"Good Afternoon, Tsunade-sama," said Sakura with a small (fake) smile on her face. "Sasuke and I would like to speak to you about something important, if you don't mind that is." Sasuke smirked as Sakura said those words. He knew she was hoping that this could be left for another day.
"Don't worry Sakura, you're never a bother. May I ask what it is that both of you want?" Sakura looked warily at Sasuke's hand and Tsunade switched her eyes from her ex-pupil to the folder that Sasuke had. "Well, let's see it." She was getting impatient and wanted to be over with it already. So much more paperwork for her to file and they wanted to waste more of her time in stupidities?
Sasuke let go of Sakura's hand and opened the folder, taking out the papers that were inside. He swiftly handed them to Tsunade. She eyed Sasuke and then Sakura, until finally her eyes landed on the paper in front of her.
It only took a second for Tsunade's eyes widen in amazement. Is this what she thought it was? A MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE! HARUNO SAKURA IS MARRYING UCHIHA SASUKE?
She quickly looked up into Sakura's anxious face. Her ex-pupil doesn't seem to be excited about the wedding as much as any other woman in Konohagakure would have been if they were in her situation. There's something wrong with this picture. She switched her gaze to Sasuke and scrutinized him. The Uchiha was glowing- if those were the right words- he radiated strength, boldness, and a sense of accomplishment.
"When did you both decide to get married? I'm sorry to ask this while you're here Uchiha but," she switched her gaze to Sakura, "I thought that you clearly stated that you want nothing to do with Uchiha Sasuke and that he meant nothing to you anymore. Were you lying to me, Haruno?" Sakura gulped.
"I-"
Before she could say anything, Sasuke cut in.
"I don't see that as your business, Hokage-sama, Haruno Sakura is old enough to make her decisions and she chose to accept my marriage proposal. Could we get this over with? Sakura and I have somewhere important to be." Sakura's eyes flickered to Sasuke's as he said this last sentence.
Sasuke knew he lied about the last part, but if Tsunade doesn't get this over with soon, Sakura might spill out the truth to Tsunade and that was unacceptable.
"Very well, I understand Uchiha but the woman you are about to marry is still my ex-pupil and she's like a daughter to me." Sakura looked into Tsunade's eyes and they were glistening with unshed tears. Both of them looked at each other and Sakura, with all her might, smiled a true smile and nodded her head.
Sasuke saw the exchange and sighed. That nod of Sakura's head meant that Tsunade can go ahead with the certificate and validate it.
The Hokage sighed. She fears that this marriage is for the wrong reasons, but couldn't object anymore because Sakura had accepted it as the truth. With one swift move of her pen, she signed the contract.
"Congratulations. Haruno Sakura, you have become Uchiha Sakura from now on, married to Uchiha Sasuke for all eternity." She put strong emphasis on the word "eternity", although it wasn't necessarily true. She could always get a divorce.
Sakura gulped. Her inner demons were haunting her for her decision. Now instead of going on missions, she probably had to stay home and babysit the future Uchiha children that she will have for Sasuke. The demons she kept inside will start to bother her-no bloodshed, strong anger- they will probably be even harder to control now. Trying to put that topic away for later, she looked up at Sasuke and knew what he was waiting for.
"You may now kiss." Tsunade said rather bleakly as if she had just started mourning for the dearly departed instead of celebrating a new couple being born into the world.
Sasuke put an arm around Sakura's waist and the other one on the back of her head. He pulled her to him and pecked her lips gently. He quickly let go afterwards. Sakura was stunned. She was expecting him to ravage her mouth, not kindly peck it. She guessed that he was saving that for later- that's just great.
"Now if you have nothing else that you need to discuss with me, you may go." Sasuke nodded and took Sakura's hand once again, leaving the Hokage's office.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Finally arriving home, Sakura let go of Sasuke's hand and ran to her room. She quickly locked the door and sunk down to the floor to cry silently, so Sasuke wouldn't hear her.
The last Uchiha sighed and went to knock on her door.
"Sakura, you have to keep your end of the bargain. Open this door, it's already late and I want to sleep. Let's get this over with." Sakura began to tremble. This scene was almost too familiar. It was like the man banging on her door wasn't Sasuke, but instead, her father. Quickly, she tried to control herself. She got up and pushed the tears away with her hands, going back to her stoic expression. The pink-haired kunoichi opened the door and the Uchiha pushed himself against her right after. He grabbed her face and pushed her lips into his harshly.
Sakura's face started to hurt because of how strong he was holding her. She tried to squirm out of his hands, but he quickly let go anyways and pulled her against him.
"You don't know how much I've been waiting for this." He whispered seductively to her ear. She shivered and he took that as his cue to push her down to the bed, with him on top.
Without even letting her catch her breath, he sunk his face against hers and crashed his lips even harder then before.
Sakura was alarmed by how brutish he was being. It was like he was desperately about to lose control and there was nothing she could do. The only way to get this over with quickly is to go stoic and let him do whatever he wanted to. She was not going to respond back. She couldn't and wouldn't kiss back or feel anything towards him.
Sakura was hoping that her first time would've been nothing like this. Her train of thoughts suddenly stopped when she felt his weight off of hers. Her emerald eyes turned to look at him.
His onyx eyes looked angry, yet they had something else in their depths that she couldn't quite understand. He had stopped everything just to stare at her. Why? This question bothered her. Why would he stop? Was she not good enough? Was he thinking of a new way to torture her-or in his words- take her? What was wrong? Before she could ask any of this though, Sasuke had uttered a question.
"Why don't you answer back?" Her eyes widened slightly as she finally understood what was the other feeling that his eyes portrayed-worry.
"Why are you so worried?" she answered back, with another question. He flinched and when his eyes went back to hers, she noticed that they were angrier now, than worry.
"This doesn't have to be a bad experience for either of us, Sakura. You can either respond or you won't. I can get you to answer back anyway." Suddenly, Sakura grew angry.
"You can't make me respond to your nasty mouth over mine! I hate you! You disgust me! I will never respond to you and you can't make me either!" Sasuke smirked and Sakura's eyes widened a fraction.
Sasuke slowly came down to whisper in Sakura's ear.
"I just did make you respond. Fire burning enough in your core to make you want me?" he asked calmly as Sakura received another shiver that made him chuckle. "I thought so. You're playing hard to get, but you want this as much as I do." Suddenly he stopped, knowing that what he had said was the wrong thing to say.
Sakura's eyes widened even more then they were before. Did he just admit that he cared? That he really loved Sakura? Or at least that he lusted for her? Uchiha Sasuke has some feelings for Haru- Uchiha Sakura! Who would've guessed?
Sasuke quickly stood up and went for the door. Before he closed it though, he looked back at Sakura and said, "We'll try this again tomorrow." The door finally closed and Sakura let out the breath she was holding. She got up slowly from her bed and smiled a small smile. He cared; he actually cared a bit for her. Even if it were a tiny bit, she was glad that he at least felt that much for her.
Streching her arms to get up off the bed she noticed a weight on her neck. She looked down to see her mother's necklace around her neck, hanging beautifully the heart with the sword across it. Her smile grew wider. Sasuke put it around her neck!
With happiness floating all around her mind, and even Inner Sakura rejoicing, she quickly lied back in bed and fell asleep, no nightmare clouded her thoughts this time.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Sasuke threw himself on his bed and sighed. Maybe tomorrow he would get his way, a way where both he and Sakura wanted it to happen. He smirked. How long would Sakura take to admit that she wanted him though? He clearly wasn't going to force her- although he still didn't understand that part of himself either. Why didn't he just take her and get it over with?
'Bah, it clearly can't be love.' He thought as he fell asleep with this thought in mind.
