Chapter 4:
A love, hate relationship.
They left the park, still holding hands, not saying a word. Sakura was getting uncomfortable so she tried to take her hand back. But, she didn't wantthis momment to end, so she slowly and hopefully inconspicusly, wedged her hand away. Sasuke stopped walking and looked down as if he was just woken up from a dream and entered a nightmare. He looked Sakura in the eye as if asking some thing.
"You're cold?" That wasn't the question Sakura was expecting. She was cold, but she didn't really notice it until she took back her hand.
Sakura closed her eyes wishing she could say something to him. She had been silent the whole they've been with each other. Why did I do that I ruined everything. Sakura thought, her hands forming fists and her eyes closing even harder. Sasuke knew Sakura was mad at herself, but all the same she was shivering. Sakura opened her eye's, surprised to see Sasuke's arm around her shoulder.
"What are..." Sakura manged to squeak out.
"You're cold right?" Sakura noded, "Come on, lets get you home." Sasuke started walking, but Sakura didn't.
"You saw what I did to her, didn't you?" Sakura looked embarassed.
"Yes. But I don't care. I hate that girl. She follows me every where. She's annoying." Sasuke said trying to make Sakura feel better. "Is that why you've been so quiet?" Sakura looked up. She might of finally found someone who understands her. "I would've done the same thing if she made the same assumtion about me. Of course, I wouldn't hit a girl though."
"Oh really, and why not?" Sakura said finally coming out of her shell.
"No, that's not what I meant. Just forget I ever said that." Sasuke threw his hand to his forehead.
"So you would hit a girl?" Sakura got a mischievious look on her face. Her hands on her hips. Sasuke just stared at her coldly. "I'm joking, I know what you mean." Sakua said laughing and lightly punching Sasuke's arm.
"So the infamous Haruno Sakura laughs, a real laugh." Sasuke said checking her out.
"Yeah, well the famous Uchiha Sasuke blushes." They both laughed at each other. "Lets get to my place, it's cold. Do you like hot chocolate?" Sakura asked her face flushed lightly.
"Yeah."
They started walking again. Sasuke put his arm around Sakura and Sakura leaned her head on his shoulder. They both felt so warm and comfortable.
Thank god, it's going to rain soon! Sasuke thought.
Naruto walked around another corner and saw something shocking, and alittle frightening. Naruto was going to try to get his attention.
"HEY, Saske who are you walking with?" Naruto started to run toward them.
"Oh shit!" Sasuke and Sakura said in unison. "Sakura you need to run, get home. I'll deal with him." Sasuke didn't want her to go. "Please, you have a reptation to live up to. Don't you still want to be the infamous Sakura? If you do you'll run," Sasuke hugged her and whispered in her ear, "meet in the park a 6:00." Sakura understood, so she did as he said and ran. Naruto was nearly to Sasuke and she was nearly away, she had to pick up speed. Although, Sakura's not a good runner, when it was nessicary she could run pretty, damn, fast.
"Hey, Sasuke who was that girl?" Naruto asked panting out of breath.
"No one. Are you really that tired? Man, you're out of shape." Sasuke said acting nice to Naruto for once. (yes an insult is being nice in Naruto's view of things.)
"Whoa, whats with niceness? And toward me of all people." Sasuke didn't notice he was being kind.
"Whatever, I'm going home." Sasuke turned and put his hands in his pockets. "And no I won't tell you anything tomorrow."
"Aw man, why not. I'd tell you. So why won't you tell me." Naruto whined like the idiot he is.
"I almost hate you as much as Sakura. Shall I continue?" He couldn't let him know
"You suck." Naruto glared Sasuke
"Like wise." Sasuke waved a hand and walked in the direction that Sakura went. He left Naruto standing there. It's not like he cared what he thought.
Sasuke was walking down a path he thought Sakura had taked hoping to see her before he went home. But I guess that won't happen till tomorrow.
"Do you like tree's or something?" Sasuke said staring into the dark shadows of the trees.
"Yes and I was only waiting for but, I see I'm not wanted." Sakura turned on the big branch she was on and was jesturing that she would leave him.
"No, don't. Um... I still didn't walk you home."
"Thank you, Captin Obivious. I'm still up for if you are." Sakura turned around and jumped down.
Out of the blue, it starts to rain. The weather man did predictit this, but the weather mans always wrong.
"Agh, why now." Sasuke whined.
"Whats wrong does the kitty not like the water." Sakura said in a baby voice. The storm thundered and lighting making a loud smacking echo. Sakura jumped alittle not expecting that to happen.
"Whats wrong the puppy doesn't like the thunder." Sasuke said mimiking Sakura. Sakura stuck out her tongue trying to catch a rain drop. "Well I'm guessing your house isn't any where near here. Fortunatly mine is right around the block."
"So... is this an invetation to escape the chance of catching a cold?
"This is a chance to get warm and dry, so yes."
"Okay." Sakura said. "Lead the way, because I am so lost." Sakura said soaking wet.
"Not very good with direction?" Sakura shook her head. "Me neigther. It's right around here somewhere. Um..follow me."
"Who else would I follow, the stick." Sasuke started laughing at his stupidness.
"Um...are you sure you're not high or something?" Sakura alittle freaked out. She hadn't seen him laugh before, and it's kinda creepy. "So just exactly how big is your house?" Sakura asked remembering that Sasuke also had a lot money.
"It's probably, a least 2 times bigger than the school, but I'm not comepletely sure."
Sasuke turned to a pin pad to unlock the gate. He was right his house was really big. But it wasn't bigger than Sakura's.
"How many rooms?" Sasuke looked confused but, then understood.
"Oh, uh," Sasuke counted in his head. "about 30, I think. Why the sudden curiosity?"
"Just curious and comparing." Sakura said. "Can get in? I'm cold."
"Oh, right. Come on." Sasuke walked up to Sakura and put his arm around her and led her down the long, winding driveway.
It seemed like forever when they finally reached the front door. What is happening? I can't believe he likes me. Or does? I don't know. I need to think this over. I can't take this anymore, I want to leave.
"I don't feel right here." Sakura said pulling Sasuke's arm off of her.
"What's wrong, Sakura." A wave of worry crossed Sasuke's face. "Do you want me to take you home?"
"No, I just don't feel right. Either, you're hiding something, or this is a scam to get something out of the one girl who couldn't careless." Sakura started to walk down the front steps, but (once again) Sasuke grabs her arm and pulls her up to him. Basicaly, Sasuke pulled her into a hug. Sakura was weirded out. Sasuke was hugging her.
"That is exactly what's going on." Sasuke whispered.
"What?!"
"Shh. They'll hear you, if we go through this door we'll walk right into their plot."
"And what would that be?" Sakura asked whispering now interested.
"To see what you're really like." Sasuke said still hugging her.
"What that's it?!" Sakura no longer whispering. She was really expecting something more. "Whatever I don't care anymore. I cold and I'm wet and I want to go inside." Sakura was sorta pissed off now. She was expecting sabatage and mischief. But all she got was a freaking overreaction.
Sakura didn't care what people thought of her. She was sho she was and there isn't anything that can change her.
"You're sure?" Sasuke was getting on Sakura's nerves.
"You're an idiot and yes."
What Sakura saw on the other side was something totally oposite. All she saw was...no one, just a few maids and an entire empty house. What is this boy up to?! Sakura was...(to unexplainable for words).
