Chapter II

Your heart is easily fooled Sakura...and that is why I love you

The days had seemed to pass by slowly; it was as if my world had completely frozen over. Fear. I was so afraid of what was going to happen, what would I do? How would I react when I see his face again? Will I scream? Will I cry? Will I be overjoyed? Will I be so terrified that I wouldn't know what to feel? I vowed to myself to never see him again, to never love him again, I'm doing everything in my power to stay away from him, but no matter what I do, he's always there. Like a freaking parasite that just won't go away. I even lost count as to how many times I changed my cell phone number, and every time he finds it...if it's that easy to find my number after changing it so many times in just a short matter of time, then it wouldn't take him that long to find me. He could have any girl he wants in a blink of an eye, and yet he's tracking me down like I'm some run away mutt, why can't he find someone else, that could go and give him what he wants most, why does it have to be me?

That man Sakura…could make any girl fall in love with him…

Forgive me Yukina, but I despise that man, he's no good.

You are saying that now Sakura, but I hope you stay true to your word and not fall in love him, after all friends don't betray friends right?

"Sakura...can you tell me more about what happened that day? You know on how everything started." Ino was getting more concerned by the minute; I didn't blame her for anything. It wasn't her fault, because she knew nothing. Yes, she was friends with Rin, but Rin never told her anything about her family, never told her about the very man she wanted to hook me up with, nor did she know about the other party involved...but it wasn't Rin's fault, because Rin didn't know either. Though they were cousins, Sasuke never told Rin much on his life, but because Rin and I became close, Sasuke dragged her down with me. Rin told me things, cruel things that Sasuke used to do to her when they were kid's...such cruelty, and she just had to tell me all those things after I started going out Satin himself. If she had told me everything earlier, I would never have gotten involved with Sasuke, and because I let my guard down, I just had to give him that opportunity…

"It's a long story Ino...so I'll tell you some of the stuff, and some other parts I'll leave for later...I'll tell you about that day...the day when I was suppose to meet up with you, Rin, and her cousin. You remember right? You weren't able to go that day, but I was already there so you told me to go ahead and meet with them...but what you didn't know..." Sakura closed her eyes and buried her face in her hands, dreading the fact of how strong, and how fast old emotions can come back up. She was in love with the image of him she had created in her mind, and it was now, after they were separated was she finally understanding, what it meant by "love is blind."

December 14, 2004- 8:55 P.M

"Ino where the hell are you? You were supposed to be here already, its five minutes till nine?" I had never been so irritated in my whole life; this was such an Ino, God. Well Ino wouldn't be Ino, if she didn't have to suddenly bail on me at the last minute. I sighed, if I didn't love the girl for what our friendship was worth I would have long gone done away with her that's for sure. I didn't hold it against Ino for suddenly bailing on me; it wasn't her fault something came up. Now if it was only me and that guy then hell yeah I would just get up and leave, but since this girl Rin is going to be there, there's no sense in ditching both of them. Curse me for being so nice, I sighed again out of annoyance, when a voice behind me caught my attention.

"Hello? Excuse me are you Sakura Haruno?" This girl must be Rin, I told myself. She was exactly how Ino described her to me, short black hair, light green eyes, very tiny, skinny, white, and looked somewhat like a child. Yup, this must be her, I confirmed mentally. I gave a small smile, and a nod, and the tackling for once in my life took me off guard. This girl was definitely Rin, that's for sure, super hyper, and an attitude that matched my crazy friend Naruto, yup now I'm positive this is Rin.

"Ino told me so much about you, and your pink hair stood out like a sore thumb, she's right it's impossible to miss, so I just knew you were her! I'm Rin Yagami, my cousin should be here any minute now, he had to go pick someone hmm wait, where's Ino? I haven't seen her in so long." Wow, this girl was way to hyper, and cheery, but it was good...this sort of personality was nice and refreshing. It makes me wonder if she's this cheerful, I wonder how her cousin would be? Before I could answer, the host at the restaurant led us to our seats; Rin sat beside me so I'm taking it that she wants her cousin, and her cousin's guest to sit in front of us? Oh God this is awkward, damn you Ino!

"Ino's mom suddenly got really sick so she called me a few minutes ago telling me that she wasn't going to be able to make it; However, she said that she would love to see you tomorrow, and that she hopes your flight wasn't too bad." I didn't miss Rin's facial expression, her smile never left her, but the moment I was about to add something, the air I felt suddenly became heavy. I looked around the entire place, and I could literally see everyone sitting still, looking forward near the entrance, the air was heavy I felt like gravity was suddenly coming down. I gave a small chuckle before turning to Rin, I was about to ask her something when I was caught off guard by her suddenly standing up, and waving to someone.

"SASUKE! SASUKE OVER HERE! WE ARE OVER HERE SASUKE! SASUKEEEE!" Oh god how embarrassing and I thought Ino was bad, I thought to myself. I gulped a bit, before mentally cursing myself, why I had to do this? Why couldn't I just go to work today? Seriously can this night get any worse than it is now? I have a crazy, cheery, childlike girl sitting next to me, the place is suddenly looking at us, and I'm about to meet the very man, Ino wants me to desperately hook up with. Great. I should be on a T.V show.

"Sakura this is Sasuke, Sasuke this is..." Before Rin could even finish her sentence, she was silenced when I looked up. I myself was speechless, this...this can't be? It was him, that guy from earlier; the guy I had ran into...the jerk who out of nowhere wanted me to make out with him! That pig who...well yeah I can't deny the fact that he looked good in those skinny Jeans, but now… damn. He was wearing a suit, with a black tie, and a white shirt, his hair was still done in a weird way, and his gages were still there along with his lip piercings...fuck my life. He looked passive, calm, as if nothing was bothering him, but I think what caught Rin off guard, was the fact that this guy Sasuke had another girl with him. She had blond curly hair, kind of fat, and her outfit...didn't suit her body at all....someone please call the fashion police and fast.

"Yukina...what are you doing here?" Rin completely switched introductions, and went back into her seat. Sasuke and the girl named Yukina did the same. Sasuke had sat in front of me, while Yukina sat in front of Rin. They must have been friends as well, because they seemed to be getting along well. Interesting, I wonder what Ino will do when she releases that her plan to match me up with this guy was a total failure, thank God. I was looking at Yukina and Rin talking to each other, Yukina seemed like a sweet girl, I wonder if she's going out with that bastard? If she was, I feel so sorry for her, because it was obvious, if she was, he wasn't taking her seriously.

"We meet again, forgive my cousin. Rin and Yukina have been friends since Yukina and I started dating. They are almost alike those two, if you hadn't already noticed...?" I shivered at the sound of his voice, oh dear God. I looked at him with narrowed eyes. I don't like him at all. Men like him are scum; they use their looks, to get what they want. I knew he was a man of power, and wealth, I knew it. It was rare for me to ever be wrong about these sort of things, but I had wished I could have at least been wrong once about those two dating. He was going to destroy her. I can see it in those eyes...those eyes burning at my back, I feel like I'm on fire, its burning me to death. Those eyes staring as if burning holes into my very soul, just by his stare I feel like I am being eaten alive from the inside. He's dangerous. It was then I realized how he ended his sentence, it was a way of politely asking for my name, without actually voicing it I guessed.

"Sakura, Haruno Sakura." I answered shortly. "How long have you and Yukina been dating?" I asked curiously, Sasuke had raised an eyebrow, and glanced toward the blond haired girl. He smirked a bit, before shaking his head, and I just sat there waiting for him to reply.

"We have been dating for three months. What do you do Sakura? You can't be more than seventeen years old right? Your about two years older than Yukina." He leaned forward, his elbows on the table with his fingers weaved together, his chin resting on his weaved hands, with that creepy smirk plastered on his face. He was satisfied with something? This guy was weird, he was dangerous, and he was someone I wished I never had the obligation to meet, once I again I damned Ino mentally.

"Yes, I'm seventeen years old, I'm one of the head doctors at the hospital, and I'm currently in school as well." My reply must have caught him off guard, because he had leaned back on his chair, with his eyebrows raised, and his eyes narrowing in curiosity. I glanced back at Rin and Yukina, to see them both conversing about something, and Rin bringing up Ino here and there, God I wish I can be part of that conversation instead I'm stuck conversing with someone else's' boyfriend, what the fuck? I turned my attention back to Sasuke thinking he had something to say.

"That's impressive, your high schooler, and yet you are a doctor? How may I ask did that come to be? Normally someone at that level has to be some sort of genius to pull that off, and by the way you look, and your facial expressions, the way you sit, I can easily tell that you do not fit that qualification." His response was smooth, ice, and it was full of amusement, as if he was testing me to see what I would do. Was I angry? I was downright pissed off. He had the audacity to literally call me stupid, just by glancing at me and because of my age? I was right he is a bastard.

"My mentor is Tsunade, one of the best doctors in the entire world. She's been teaching me medicine since I was eleven, and I was allowed to begin working at the hospital she owns since I was thirteen. I became one of the head doctors at that hospital when I was fifteen. It's difficult, not easy, because working at the hospital takes a lot of time, and with school it's hard to juggle everything around. Tsunade asked me just to stop going to school, because there is no way she would ever fire me, but I told her if there was ever a time I needed to quit, I would need the education background. Of course, she shot back me, saying 'oh well you have me as a resource, with me as a reference you'll find a job in no time' sort of speech. The other thing that makes my job difficult is, that because I'm still very young, many parents, or patients don't have that much faith in me at all to get a difficult task done, but please forgive me if I don't meet your standard of intelligence. I must apologize if there is no one as smart as you oh great Sasuke." Sasuke didn't look at all impressed, but a smirk was clearly shown on his face. His eyes shone with something, and his smirk that he was giving me made me feel like eager for something.

"How old are you are you Sasuke?" I asked leaning back on my chair.

"I'm nineteen." Sasuke responded immediately to my question, and nearly fell out of my chair, if he's nineteen, and I'm seventeen, and I am two years older than Yukina, that would make Yukina what fifteen? That's not right, a fifteen year old going out with someone nearly twenty years old? What in the world are they both thinking? I was on my way to reply, when Yukina had turned to us and had caught our attention.

"Sasuke Rin wants to show me this really cute store that is going to close in about a half hour, can you wait here please? I really want to go, oh and I'm sorry Sakura that we left you out of the conversation, and stuff, but anyway, we should all hang out tomorrow." Wow…Yukina was literally telling me to go home...after I wasted such a beautiful day, damn you once again Ino, I'm sure going to make her life pay. I smiled and was about to say something, but I was cut off when Sasuke stood up straight, catching everyone off guard. Man, what was with him and doing that? Yukina looked at him with an innocent smile, and Rin looked scared shitless, and me...I was just sitting down until I was roughly pulled up from my chair.

"Yukina, you can go with Rin. I'll walk Sakura home, and meet you back here." Oh God Yukina, please say no, please say no, please say no. Please for the love of all things good, if you love this guy so much please say no!

"Okay bye guys see you in a bit Sasuke." Damn you Yukina. You fail as a girlfriend.

We walked for a while; my home was at least thirty minutes away. My car had ran out of gas, so I took the bus here, but Sasuke was kind enough to offer me a ride home in a car that he had rented out, it was just a shame his car was parked about five minutes away from where we were. We walked in silence, but I felt Sasuke keep getting closer and closer to me, oh dear God seriously? He ruffled my hair, and a small chuckle escaped his mouth, it was the first time today I didn't see him so uptight.

"You have to relax Sakura; you look as if someone is going to kill you." I didn't miss the smirk, and the small glitter in his eyes. There is no way I can trust this guy. There was no denying it, there was something weird about this guy, and the way he looks at me with those midnight colored eyes, and that smirk he gives, it always sends shivers down my spine. If I didn't know any better I would think that he was a wolf, and I was his prey, but Sasuke has a girlfriend…there is no way he would try anything, and I'm praying to God I'm right.

[Present]

"So wait Sasuke had another girlfriend at the time?" Ino asked, she was hugging one of my pillows tightly to her chest, and I looked away to look at the side window. The tree branches slowly and barley touching the thin glass, and I was trying so hard not to break. Our first meeting was not the best, but it was interesting and weird when we had met a second time. He was a man with many sides to him, and even at the time, I didn't know which one was his real self.

"Yes....but it didn't last very long, because two weeks after he met me...he was basically cheating on Yukina with me, I mean not really cheating-cheating, but I still consider it cheating. He would spend more time with me, and talk to me more, and he would always call me, but he always irritating me, because dear God the guys doesn't like giving out his number, so he always calls me on private. Do you know how freaky that is Ino?" I sighed once again in frustration.

"So wait...you are basically a slut then Sakura?" I threw a pillow at Ino.

"Excuse me I am no slut Ino! Sasuke and I have never touched each other, nor did we kiss each other, during the time he was dating Yukina." I huffed, and Ino gave a small a chuckle. We had sat down talking for a few more moments, talking about how things were going; we had decided to get off of the topic of Sasuke. I was guessing Ino knew how uncomfortable it was for me to talk about such a delicate situation, it wasn't something I loved to brag about, or talk about it, but Ino was out of the loop on basically everything. Even though she was like a sister to me, there were things about my life with Sasuke, she never knew. Just because I was in hell didn't mean I had to drag her there with me.

"So then-" Ino was cut off when my phone began to ring once again. My heart dropped, and Ino and I just sat there looking at the small silver phone on the table, ringing, and ringing, never stopping, never ending. I felt the burning feeling in my heart begging to hurt my chest, and the dropping of my stomach churning. It was him, It was him I know it, I can feel it. Stop calling, stop calling stop! STOP, STOP! I picked up my phone, and right when I was about to throw it against the wall, Ino had grabbed a hold of my arm.

"He's not here Sakura calm down!" Ino took my phone out of my hand. "Look its Tsunade, Jesus Sakura. Answer it." And answering I did.

"Tsunade..."

"You think changing your number every three weeks is going to stop me? I'll find you...and when I do..." click… How! How is he doing this? How is he calling me from different phone numbers, but more importantly how in the world is he calling me from the phones of people I know if they don't even know who this guy is? I was getting paranoid, I was getting more scared by the minute, and I couldn't help but break down crying once again in front of Ino. I hate technology.
