DISCLAIMER: Yeah, kay….NO.
Hey! Well I finished chapter 6. Sorry if the wait was long…. I have had A LOT of schoolwork lately. Anywho, enjoy the story, and thank you for your reviews! They are greatly appreciated.
"Does anyone know where the Haruno girls are at?" Kakashi asked his students. No reply was made. Kakashi sighed and marked, yet another absent for the twins.
"It has been almost two weeks…..where the hell are they?" TenTen whispered to Hinata.
"I'm not sure, neither one has answered their phones." Hinata replied.
"Hey!"
The two girls turned around when they heard Naruto whisper.
"What?" TenTen hissed.
"What happened to Sakura?" Naruto asked.
"We have no idea, why?" Hinata said.
Naruto didn't reply, but turned his head in Sasuke's direction. The girl's eyes followed to see a very stressed out Uchiha. His hair was a disaster, he had dark circles under his eyes and he had not spoken to anyone in days.
They all shared a look then turned their attention back to the front of the room.
------------------------------------------------------------
AT THE HARUNO HOUSE"Ami……Ami…..open the door Ami!"
Sakura Haruno was standing outside her twin sisters' bathroom door, banging, rather loudly.
Slowly the door opened to reveal probably the saddest sight Sakura had every seen. Ami was wearing a sweatshirt that was about five sizes to big, she didn't appear to wearing any pants, and she had on a bright orange tube sock and on the other foot was a low cut purple sock.
Ami's face was even more of a mess. Her eyes were red and her cheeks appeared to be stained from the salty tears. Half of her hair was in a messy bun atop her head, while the rest fell down her back.
Sakura sighed and pushed a small pile of clothes into Ami's arms and walked over to the large window. Sakura pulled the curtains open, she turned in time to see Ami wince at the light.
Ami watched as Sakura walked past her to the bathroom, and turned on the shower. She pulled Ami backwards and pushed Ami into the water, clothes and all.
"WHAT THE HELL!" Ami screamed out.
Sakura smirked. "Glad to see you're finally talking again."
Ami didn't reply. Sakura began picking up the clothing that Ami had dropped when she was pulled into the shower. Sakura folded them neatly on the counter and turned to face Ami.
"Take a long shower, then get dressed." Sakura waved her hand in the direction of the folded clothes. "Once you're done, we are going to have a serious talk about…well, everything."
With that Sakura turned on her heel and left the bathroom.
About an hour later Ami stepped into her bedroom, dressed, cleaned and dripping wet hair. She noticed a note on her bed, she walked over and picked it up, she recognized the messy handwriting of Sakura.
'Find me outside……where we used to play, when times were good.'
Ami sighed and slipped into her flip-flops and made her way outside.
She walked through the large backyard, past the pool, past the tennis courts that were only there for show, she walked through the large open field, and then began to run. Ami ran faster and faster. She didn't stop when her shoes slipped of her feet, she did not stop to notice that Sakura's shoes were lying in the same general area as hers.
Tears had surfaced as Ami neared her destination. She came to a sudden stop and took on the sight.
She was in a field, a half circle of pine trees surrounded the place, and old broken down cabin stood off the left side, and just past that was a lake. And there sitting out on the wooden dock was Sakura.
Slowly Ami made her way towards Sakura. She sat down beside her sister and hung her feet in the water along with Sakura's.
Neither one said anything for a while, both just staring at the water, and then finally Ami broke the silence.
"Saka?" Ami whispered.
Sakura turned her head to look at Ami. They stared at one another for a moment or two until both reached out and grabbed at the other. They held each other in a tight embrace; Ami's tears showed and Sakura closed her eyes.
"What….why….us…" Ami managed to gasp out.
"Things just happen Ami." Sakura replied.
Ami took in a few deep breaths.
"What are we going to do? I don't want to marry Sasuke." Ami said.
Sakura paused before she answered. "Why don't you tell father that."
It was not a question, for they both knew the answer to it. Ami could not and would not disobey their father. She didn't have it in her to destroy his dream.
"I….I can't Sakura. I'm not you. You were brave enough to speak your mind….I can't do that!" Ami said.
"How do you know? You have NEVER tried!" Sakura shot back.
Ami winced and looked down at the water. Sakura sighed and wrapped her arm around Ami's shoulder.
"I'm sorry." Sakura whispered.
"No. You were right, I've never tried to tell Daddy what I want." Ami said. They both stayed silent, both thinking about what was left unsaid:' I probably never will.'
The two of them sat there talking about what they had missed out on in one another's lives and what they missed about being sisters.
It was dark when they decided to head back. They both walked bare foot until they reached the area were their shoes had been abandoned. They smiled and slipped them back on and walked the rest of the way home.
When they arrived at the iron gates in the front of the Haruno Household Sakura gently grabbed Ami's arm. Ami turned, about to ask if something was wrong, nut Sakura interrupted her.
"Are you really going to go through with this marriage for the sake of that…..man?" Sakura nearly spat out the indication of her father,
Ami looked down at her shoes, the tears had returned. Sakura knew what the answer was.
"Very well then." Sakura said as she lifted Ami's chin up. "I hope you know what you are doing."
Sakura started to walk to the house, but Ami's voice stopped her.
"Are you…..you aren't going to do anything?" Ami asked in a desperate whisper.
Sakura smiled and turned around. "No Ami, this is your wedding. So that means it's your turn to ruin it."
"But…. But I thought you liked Sasuke."
"I do. A lot. But I can't do anything about that. You can though."
"I don't know what to do." Ami chocked out.
"You like Sai right?"
Ami nodded.
"You'll think of something." Sakura said as she walked into the house and made her way straight to her room.
Sakura stood by her bedroom door and listened for the sound of Ami entering her room. When Sakura heard the click of the door she sighed and changed into a pair of shorts and a tank top.
Sakura crawled into her silk sheets and fell asleep.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Sakura sat up in bed when she heard a soft thud. She looked around her room, only to be met with darkness.
'What the hell.' Sakura thought as she carefully lay back down. She closed her eyes. Sakura's eyes snapped open wide when she felt a strong arm wrap around her waist.
She couldn't breath.
"I missed you blossom."
Sakura sighed. She turned around in the embrace to be met with the dark haired Uchiha.
"What are you doing here?" Sakura asked.
"I already told you. I missed you." Sasuke smirked.
"You shouldn't be here."
"Hn" Sasuke mumbled as he pulled Sakura closer to his warm body. Sakura sighed again and snuggled in.
"I talked to Ami." Sakura whispered after a while.
"And?" Sasuke asked in a hushed voice. Sakura wanted to see his face, but he held her tight.
"She is going to go through with the…" Sakura swallowed. "…The wedding."
Sakura felt Sasuke's arms flex and he held her even tighter. They both knew that if Ami didn't agree to break the wedding deal, then Sasuke had to go through with it also.
"….She asked me to ruin the wedding for her." Sakura tried to say in a casual voice. She felt Sasuke smirk into her hair.
"I wouldn't mind that." He said.
Sakura rolled her eyes and continued. "I told her that she needed to do it."
Sasuke stayed silent.
"Do….do you think she will?" He finally asked.
"I don't know."
All was quiet for a while, then Sasuke noticed Sakura's breathing had become deep and even. He allowed a smile to grace his features and he kissed her cheek softly.
"Goodnight my Blossom."
I'm done. I hope that was an okay chapter. The next one will contain the wedding! I'll try my best to update soon. Please review! Thanks!
