Chapter 15: Meeting
I woke up in the morning, I felt a comfortable aura surrounding me. I opened my eyes to find two arms wrapped around me… I slowly turn my head, tracing the arms to a face I knew oh-so-well...Sasuke's -- a big cozy blanket draped over us.
I turned a tad shade of pink as the position we were both in registered in my mind. My head was resting on Sasuke's chest, while his head rested beside mine...but what made me turn a darker shade of red, was the reason that Sasuke's creamy arms were hugging me from behind.
Wait a second... how did this blanket get here? I doubt Sasuke knew where we kept the spare blankets in my house.
I allowed myself to enjoy the warm feeling of the closeness of our bodies. Recording the precious moment of this, and his peaceful face that appears when he's asleep.
That was -- until I decided that it was time to untangle myself from his light grasp carefully,-- I was sure that I would regret doing so later on -- allowing him to continue to sleep longer so that I could cook breakfast.
When my feet came in contact with the texture of the kitchen floor, I saw my Mom standing beside the counter, sipping her dark coffee.
She appeared stunned as she saw me awake and moving that early in the morning.
"Sakura dear, you're awake?--This early?" She questioned in disbelief.
"Y-yeah," I heard myself answer. "--I woke up, but couldn't seem to shut my eyes and sleep once again. So, where are you going, Mom?" I asked her. My eyes examined her formal outfit which she usually wore on meetings that were important.
"Work." She answered. "They called me in this morning to attend a meeting that came up suddenly which would probably take up the whole day." she finished with a deep sigh.
Taking a sip from her coffee mug, she continued, " I'm sorry, dear. I know I said that we would spend this day together."
She was supposed to have this day free...for Christmas, but that's just how her work is...always calling her number on the last minute.
"Don't worry,Mom...I'll be fine." I answered, and as if it was an instict, my eyes averted from my Mother's figure, to Sasuke's sleeping form, which didn't go unnoticed by my Mother.
"So, Sasuke slept here, huh?"
My reaction to that bluntly stated statement was a flinch. Her voice seemed to be ringing, and close enough that it seemed as if she just said it very close to my moved from behind me, and her eyes were directed towards the living room where Sasuke's sleeping figure could be found.
"H-how d-did you know?" I stuttered.
Stupid questiom -- I know. But I was just so freaking nervous, anticipated for my precious Mother's answer
"Did you actually think that, the blanket draped over you two suddenly sprouted two feet and ran all the way over to you guys, just to cover your shivering bodies?" she stated, laughing a hearty one which made me smile in return.
Abruptly stopping her action, she faced me. "He seems like such a nice guy, sweetie."
"Yes, he is" I whisper looking at said sleeping boy, while a warm feeling was filling inside my chest.
"Alright sweetie," my Mother said after a pregnant pause of silence. "I'll talk to you later, alright? I'll be late if I stay too long." she finished as she kissed my cheek before leaving the house in a rush. And that, was the exact moment that I decided to start making me and Sasuke's breakfast.
I wanted to cook something Sasuke might be interested or favored to eat.
I thought about eating pancakes-- shaking my head, I ended up cookig eggs and bacon a few moments later.
I was so caught up in my cooking that I didn't even realize, or practically felt the presence approaching me.
"What are you cooking?"
A yelp escaped my lips as I turned around, quite startled as I nodded my head, aknowleding Sasuke's presence.
He was rubbing his eye with the back of his hand. And he looked...so darn cute!
"Hey, you're finally awake! Don't ever scare me like that again!!!" I exclaimed, exasperated as I brought a hand up and placed it above my chest, above the soft yet fast beating of my heart.
Realizing that he was still staring at me, I continued. "I'm cooking some eggs and bacon. Do you like it?" I asked with a bit of hesitation wrapped in every corner of my sentence.
"Hn." he replied.
I felt relieved afterwards, proceeding on finishing my task.
"Great! I'm almost done. For the meantime, you can go watch something on the television."
He nodded.
I'm not really sure if it was my imagination on the run, but it seemed like he wanted to say something -- well that was before shaking his head and turning around, leaving me alone in the kitchen.
-
Soon enough, we were both seated comfortably, across from each other on my family's table, enduring the silence that seemed to flow endlessly around the room.
I was too hesitant when I asked him directly if he liked the food that I had prepared for the both of us. Worry + Me = not so good. But his reply assured me that it was good.
Relief washed over me as I continued to eat my meal in silence. Well, that was until he, Uchiha Sasuke, decided to speak up.
"Sorry...for sleeping here last night." He mumbled, scratching the side of his face...but what caught my attention, was that teeny tiny bit of pink across his cheeks.
"No need to worry." I started, " I should actually be the one saying sorry, you know, for falling asleep last night while you were still here...and for making your sleep...uncomfortably." I ended with that tinge of pink running across the bridge of my nose.
"Who said anything about me sleeping uncomfortably last night?" he replied with no eye contact at all as he continued to eat.
"W-Well, I-I thought that-"
"Don't make assumptions,Sakura." he stated, making me stick my tongue out, directed towards him. His reaction, and amused smirk. But what made me choke on the food that I was currently eating, was what he said next.
"Would you like to spend the rest of the day with me?"
A blush was now apparent on my features. Realizing that he was waiting for a response, I numbly nodded my head.
He stood up after we finished our food to take the plates and put them in the sink.
"Let's go then." He said, getting walking out of the kitchen as I followed him.
"Where are we going anyways?" I questioned, but receiving no response, he kept walking, straight for the front door.
"Wait, Sasuke, at least let me change my clothes." I pleaded.
"Hn." he answered, turning around and sitting back on the couch as I took long strides, skipping two steps up the stairs as I got to my room.
I took a pink sweater with a green tank top underneath it, threw it on as I buttoned the skinny jeans on, and slid on a pair of green flats that went well with my whole attire. I left my short hair down as I put on some light make up on my cheeks to accentuate my features, swiped a tube of shiny clear lip gloss on my lips, and proceeded to leave my room.
"Ready." I declared as I finally hopped down the last step.
Sasuke blinked for a moment, before staring...and staring...and staring...and staring. Which made me blush beet red, may I add.
"A-Are we-e going n-now?" I stuttered. Thinking to myself that I sounded like...Hinata! Yeah her! Whenever she was around Naruto.
"Hn. Yeah let's go"
My house soon vanished from behind us, as we rode on his black Porsche, which he was obviously very proud of, as he smirked at my gaping stance when I saw the car.
We spent the whole ride going to who-knows-where-Sasuke-planned-for-me in silence as the radio played a song that I had never heard of before, but the melody was so romantic and relaxing that it turned out to be the only sound coming from the whole radius within us until after the 15-minute drive. That's when the doubt came creeping in my mind.
"Where are we going?" I questioned once again.
"My house." He stated in that oh-so-casual manner which not only made my eyes widen, but my body stiffen as well.
His house? Where his parents are currently at? OH MY FREAKING GOD!!! I'm going to meet Sasuke's family!
I stayed mentally shut down all the way to his house. Not uttering a single word as we finally got to an enormous mansion, with a huge black gate at the front, that opened before Sasuke pulled in front of it. I could see that there was a small path that led to a big mansion, surrounded by different types and classes of flowers.
I gaped in astonishment at the big house that stood mighty tal infront of me. Red and white flowers of different classes surrounded the place more than the other typed of colors, which, might I add, gave an impression of rich royalties and whatnot.
He was smirking, probably amused at the weird shocked faces I was making while eyeing everything.
"Come one." he said before entering the mansion, switching the engine off and aknowledged the butler that greeted him once we were in, who was holding the door open for us.
If I thought that the outside part of the Uchiha mansion was the best thing eyes could have layed their eyes one, I was at loss of words when I saw the inside.
Gorgeous? Beautiful? Classy? Elegant? Expensive...?
No...not one of these words fit that description.
Shiny pearl marble floor came in contact with my flats. Creamy walls and crystal chandeliers hung above us. Expensive furniture and ornaments were displayed around the mansion. It gave off the impression of Hands Off to all who saw it.
We passed by a white two-door that was half open, and I caught a glimpse of the living room with brown leathered armchairs.
Beside the staircase was also another entrance that led both Sasuke and me to the elegant dining room. I wasn't the type of person that just barged in to people's houses, so before proceeding any further, I stopped myself from walking along the elegant halls.
I noticed how Sasuke's expression turn stoic as we climbed up higher. Not wanting to be left behind in an unknown territory, I scurried after him.
We arrived at his room soon afterwards. But before my mind could even produce perverted thoughts, you know, since we were currently in his room. The both of us. ALONE.
"I'm going to change my clothes." he stated, leaving me for a brief moment as he entered a door which I think was the one that led to his bathroom.
I sigh escaped my lips as I roamed around his room. It was so big. Too big for just one person.
Dark blue furniture.A big window that led you to the balcony that had a beautiful view of a wondrous garden.
I found out some things about him.
First of all, Sasuke wasn't a messy guy. In fact, in his room, everything was in place. In super order that you can tell that he seemed like the type of guy who was a clean freak. Even his CDs were all arranged by the alphabet! A to Z! Oh, and the genre he mostly listens to, juding by the names of the bands there, which some I knew, was mostly the genre of Rock music.
Second thing I discovered: He was a cute, adorable little boy when he was but what seemed like 8-years old. I know this for a fact that he was sitting down on his Mother's lap with a big smile on his face. His Dad and Brother were behind them, all of them were dressed in a formal attire. Thanks to that picture, now I know that he looks more like his Mother than his Father.
"I'm ready." he said when he was finally dressed in a blue t-shirt and dark jeans. A black jacket completed his look.
I nodded in response, a smile forming on my lips, turning once again to the black photo frame.
"Your Mom's pretty." I stated.
"Hn. Can we go now?"
Was he that desperate to leave his house? Well I don't really care, as long as I can be with him, it's all good.
I nodded in response as I followed him out the door.
"You leaving already, Otouto?" A voice from behind us abruptly made us stop our steps. Sasuke grunted and glared at a certain man that seemed to resemble his brother in that black frame. The problem was, the said guy was staring at me --ignoring Sasuke's glares.
"Who is this pretty girl?" He questioned as I felt heat rise in my cheeks.
"I-I am Sakura. Haruno Sakura" I replied, blushing all the way.
"Nice to meet you Sakura-chan. I'm Uchiha Itachi." He replied in that oh-so-hot voice of his. This boy seemed to be totally the opposite of Sasuke. Although, Sasuke is a hell lot cuter than him.
"Yeah, we're going now. Come one, Sakura." Sasuke said, turning the opposite way as I followed him away from Itachi.
"But Otouto, you just got here." came Itachi's response from behind us.
"And the sooner I leave, the better." I heard Sasuke mutter to himself.
"Sasuke, where do you think you're going?" A new voice said, the voice which made Sasuke stop dead on his tracks. Still continuing to walk, I crashed on Sasuke's back.
It was Uchiha Mikoto by the looks.
Sasuke was about to reply the question of his mother, well, that was before she interjected.
"Oh, nevermind." She said, making a gesture with her hand about how unimprtant the answer was to her as she neared us.
I stared at her… she was even more beautiful than in the picture.
"And who is this pretty girl?" Mikoto asked, a blush, slowly creeping on my face as I felt flattered, considering the idea of two Uchiha's who thought that I was in the same category as the word pretty.
"H-Hi, I'm Haruno Sakura...nice to meet--you." I introduced myself once again, bowing my head respectfully.
"The pleasure is mine. I'm Mikoto Uchiha, and please, no need for formalities." she said, flashig a sweet smile towars me. The kind of woman that seemed to be very kind, no matter what or to whom she was talking to.
"Mom we are leaving now" Sasuke interjected
"Just wait there young boy we have something to discuss" Mikoto stated.
Sasuke raised a brow towards his Mother.
"Don't give me that face, Uchiha Sasuke, Do you think that it is alright for a boy such as yourself to be out all night, not telling your Mother who was close to a heartattack where you went?" she said in that motherly tone of hers.
"Hn, sorry mom"
"Well, we'll talk about this later we don't want Sakura-chan to get bored, do we?" Mikoto said, a smile forming on her lips once again.
"Or scare her… but Sasuke probably did that already" Itachi said in a mocking tone.
Sasuke grunted and turned to leave for the second time.
"Nice to meet you, Uchiha-san, Itachi-san" I reply bowing my head.
"Mikoto please, I don't like formalities" I smile again and nodded.
"Sasuke" a cold hard voice spoke from behind Mikoto said, and I noticed how Sasuke flinched at the sound of the voice, hell, even I flinched!
"Father" he said in a stoic voice bowing his head and I notice the respectful tone he used to speak to his dad, so different compared to how he speaks with everyone else.
"Who's this girl?"
Aww no pretty? Well, it looks like he is not one to say compliments about people.
"Good morning sir, my name is Haruno Sakura" I tried to reply as politely as I could and bowed my head. He nodded but didn't say another word to me. In fact it was as if he'd be ignoring me. I bit my lip, by the look on his face, he didn't seem to like me that much.
"I need talk to you. Now"
"Could you wait for lat-"
"I said now!" His dad rudely cut him off. Sasuke's eyes narrowed and I noticed how his hands were clenched into fists.
He threw a glance at his mom and then diverted his eyes to my direction.
"Sakura-Chan would you like a nice cup of tea?" she asked.
Sasuke gave me a nod when I turned to look at him.
"I'd love to" I fake a smile and followed his mom to the backyard were the garden was. Every once in a while I turned behind me to see if Sasuke was there.
"Don't worry Sakura-Chan, he'll be alright" she stated with a small smile.
But for some odd reason, I felt she was saying that more to herself than to me.
Sasuke's PoV.
We were inside the living room but this time we didn't care to sit down on the brown leather armchairs and I wanted to end this quickly and leave.
"Why don't you want to go Sasuke? Do you hate the company that much as to fail me?" he said sternly.
"I don't want to go I am perfectly fine at Konoha High" I answered.
"But that is not the only reason, am I right?"
I responded nothing and he took that as his cue to start talking once again.
"I'm not fool, do you really think I would really believe that you feel something for that girl? So I can think that you are in love with her and I can have pity on you so you don't have to marry someone else or leave town? I know you are just using her, you never brought a girl here before, why else would you suddenly bring her after our discussion last night?" I gritted my teeth together, my brows knitted together and my hands were clenched at my sides.
"I would never use her"
His eyes narrowed at my tone, or probably at my answer.
"Well then why did you bring her today? Just after last night's discussion?"
I was sure my knuckles were white by now. Some part of me wanted my Dad seeing Sakura and that he would take the hint that I have feelings for her so he would back off and let me be happy, but the other part was afraid that things will get this way, and that part told me to just change my clothes and leave as soon as I could.
"I just came to change my clothes, we'll be spending the day together"
"Together?" he let out a sarcastic chuckle. "You better be saying goodbye to her Sasuke, you will be engaged… at least until you decide to leave for Sound" I glared at him and without knowing I was almost screaming at him.
"I won't leave nor I will get married with some bitch I don't even know, you can forget those plans of yours!"
"You really hate this honorable family, don't you son? That is what makes you different from Itachi… he always does whatever I say because he knows is for the best of his future and the company's"
Here he goes again with all the you-hate-this-family-and-Itachi-is-better-than-you crap again. Itachi always did what Dad told him to do because he did rather do it than to have to sit and listen to his enraged ramblings every time he gave a negative answer.
"I don't hate this family, I just hate the fact that you want me to be a clone of Itachi and I'm not, and I don't like you making decisions for me, that's what makes me different from him"
His eyes hardened,but mine would have been red if that were to be possible.
"It's for the company's sake, for the family sake"
"Whatever" I said walking to the door but when my hand was on the doorknob my Dad spoke again.
"If you had just decided to leave, then I could've granted you to stay here for a little longer. But since you didn't, you better enjoy this date because this will be the last time you'll be seeing her."
A growl escaped my lips as I slammed the door behind me.
I have no choice but to pick one option, knowing dad he will force me as he did with Itachi, and probably the idea of me marrying a stupid rich brat thrilled him more than the idea of me leading Uchiha corp.
I went to look for Sakura so we could leave quickly. I'm sure mom took her to the garden, the most distant place in the house so she wouldn't hear my dad's screams … or mine. I took a few breaths to calm down going out and meeting her, after all I don't want her to be worried for me.
When I got there Mom and Sakura were drinking tea and laughing. I was glad that at least mom could get along with her.
"Sasuke-kun" Sakura said turning around to greet me excitedly but she was still sitting. My mom took this moment to send me a worried glance, knowing the hurtful things dad can say.
I didn't want them to be worried so I acted as if he hadn't say anything.
"Hey" the corners of my mouth twisted to form a small smile. "Are you ready to leave?"
"Sure! Even though I was having a great time with your mom"
"Sakura-Chan you are so sweet, but don't worry you can come anytime!" I rolled my eyes.
"Sure mother, you are here all the time" Sarcasm dripping in my voice.
"Okay, okay, anytime when I am here" Mom rolled her eyes too, making Sakura laugh.
"I would love to Mikoto-san"
We bid goodbye to Mom and finally, stormed away from the house.
We currently were in a narrow street full of shops and restaurants with people doing 'window shopping' as Sakura told me.
I never did this before and I seriously couldn't find the point to watch every single store if you are not going to buy anything. But I guess this is one of the things that I like about Sakura, she makes me do things that I'm sure I would never do on my own.
"Are you sure you want to do this? Won't you prefer going to the coffee shop across the street?" I said pointing to the little establishment across the street.
"Yes I'm sure, besides I drank too much tea with your mom"
We passed a few stores, watching silently how she got excided about things she found 'cute' and liked.
"You are very quiet" she said after a while of walking, not really looking in my way, but I could see the hint of worry in her eyes.
"Its nothing" I tried to reassure her.
"Did something happen with your Dad?"
"Something always happens with my dad"
She was now staring at me with her green jade worried eyes and stopped for a moment.
"Do you want to go to that park? It has a nice view" she put a smile on her face but I could tell it was forced.
I nodded and we walk to the little park.
It was peaceful and not crowded, just what I needed. It had a hill were you can have indeed a great view. We sat down on the grass watching how the sun slowly hid behind the mountains.
Sakura PoV
We were contemplating the orange sky in a peaceful silence until I decided to start a conversation, after all I was sure something was bothering him and I knew for sure that he was thinking about it.
"I learned a few things about you while talking to your mom" I said still looking at the view in front of me.
"Hn. What did she tell you?"
"Pretty interesting things… like you snore"
He raised his brow and his eye began to twitch.
"I-do-not-snore"
I chuckled at him.
"Just kidding Sasuke-kun… well she told me you play the guitar very well. Well you know, you don't look like the musician type of guy." He smirked proud of himself.
"What else?"
"Your room is never messy, she said you are a compulsive cleaner, but I notice that a while back."
"I'm not compulsive I just don't like to live surrounded by dirt and mud"
"I'm still wondering how you can endure living with Naruto" I chuckled at the thought of their usual messy room with cups of ramen everywhere back at school.
"It's hard, trust me" he smirked after sighing at the thought. "Something more?"
" All you eat are tomatoes, but I kind of knew that… and" I hesitated, should I tell him this or should I shut my mouth?.
"And?"
"S-she kind of told me how hard your relationship is with your father"
His eyes went cold again, as he laid his whole body on the cold grass.
"Are you mad at me? Or worse… are you mad at her? Please don't get mad at her I swear she didn't tell me anything that you haven't told me before"
" I Am not mad for whatever she told you, I'm just… I don't know… I can't understand my father" he answered closing his eyes.
"Do you want to talk about it?" his eyes opened a bit fraction and I could see the hint of sadness in them.
"… No" I was sad because he preferred to stay quiet instead of telling me what was wrong.
"You know you can trust me, right?"
"Aa"
"And that I'll be here anytime when you want to talk, right?"
"Aa"
"And that you can count of me, right?"
"Hn"
"And that no matter what you can trust me, right?"
"… Yeah"
I gave him a smile that I only reserve for him, because for some silly reason no one makes me smile when they answer 'Aa, Hn or even Yeah' like he does.
"Thank you, Sakura" and this is what makes me even happier.
"You know? I hope one day I could get to hear you play the guitar" I told him as I lie on the grass next to him.
"In your dreams" he said smirking.
"Why don't you want me to hear you? Is it because your mom is praising you for your skills and the truth is that you suck at it?" I tried to mock him but his smirk turned into an amused chuckle.
"You wish"
"Then why?"
"Because I don't have a good song… yet, but I'm working on it"
"And when you get the song completed then you'll show it to me… right?"
"Maybe"
"Sasuke..." I said his name in a threaten tone.
"Joking, you'll be the first" And I was contented with his answer.
We stayed in a peaceful silence watching the sunset, as I recalled the conversation I had with Mikoto-san.
Flashback
"Sakura do you like your tea?" Mikoto asked me after sipping her own cup.
"Yes it's delicious!" I responded after enjoying the sweet flavor that I never tasted before. She gave me a contented smile.
"I bought it in one of the last business trips I had, I love its taste" she said before putting down her cup of tea on the wooden table that separated us. "I have to say I'm surprised"
"Why Mikoto-san?" I asked her forming a small 'o' with my mouth.
"Well you see… it's the first time that Sasuke brings a girl to this house, I mean aside from Ino, Hinata and Tenten, but they are here just when Shikamaru, Naruto and Neji are too, but its weird to see them here because Sasuke doesn't like it too much. They have never come alone with him and there's no way he brings a girl to our house, oh well that's what I thought but look at where you are now." she said muffling her giggle with her hand.
The deep red tint expanded on my cheeks, I was the first girl he ever brought alone to his house! I heard Mikoto-san giggling harder at my shocked expression and when she calmed down she began a new topic.
"Do you know Sasuke snores?"
End of flashback
"What are you giggling about?" Sasuke asked lifting one perfect eyebrow.
"I won't tell you"
He sent me a little glare but then he acted as if he didn't care.
"You are annoying, Sakura" I giggled again at his childish response.
We stayed there until the stars started gathering in the dark blue sky. After spending one day with Sasuke, I could feel my heart thumbing harder than ever.
I think I am falling even harder for him.
"It's getting late, I should take you home" Sasuke said in a low voice, motioning to sit up. I grabbed his hand before he could stand up.
"Can't we stay a little bit longer?"
"Why would you want to stay more time? We spent all afternoon here" he said raising his brow curiously at me.
"I know but the stars are pretty tonight, I've never see them shining as brightly in the past."
He gave a sigh and placed his elbows on top his knees, getting into a more comfortable position.
"Your mom is going to worry about you"
"She'll be late tonight"
"Hn"
"I wish you could tell me what it's troubling you" he turned towards my direction as I looked at his thoughtful face. "Don't worry I wont ask you to tell me again, but I hate to see how you suffer alone, I think its better when you share your problems with someone else, with friends… they can help you one way or another."
He closed his eyes for a moment before turning his gaze at the sky.
"I have to get through this alone… I don't want to worry anyone" he said in a low voice.
"We worry when we know that something is worrying you and you don't say anything, we hate not being able to help you" I said sitting up and looking straight at him, his eyes softened but he kept his stare on the dark green grass.
"It's necessary"
'Why wont you tell me what's wrong? Why won't you tell me anything?'
He stood up before I could say another word.
"It's time to go" he whispered with his back turned to me. I slowly stood up and followed him to his car.
The ride to my house was silent. I didn't dare say something else because I didin't want to make him feel anger towards me.
When he parked the car in front of my house, I was hesitating if I should immediately enter my house or stay for a little more with him, even if it was just quietly.
I had a weird feeling that was telling me that somehow things were not going to be okay between us, and the weirdest thing was that I felt as if I'd never be able to see Sasuke again and this feeling was scaring me for real.
"Sasuke?" he stared at the street in front of him until I called his name and glance at me. "I… I-I need to tell you something" the blush expanded on my face, somehow I needed to tell him tonight or maybe, if this sick feeling I had in the pit of my stomach was true, things will be different between us.
I opened my mouth but the words never come out. I bit my lip.
"What is it?" he asked when he realize that I was not going to talk any time soon startling me with his annoyed tone and his stare back at the road in front of him.
'I love you'
His sudden annoyance towards me hurt.
"Never mind it's something stupid without importance" I faked a big smile and fought the tears that were coming before adding "just take care okay?" I got out of his car before I could hear a response from him.
I never glance back at the black car with the boy I loved inside of it.
Once I steped in my house I sank down , my back to the door. I wanted to do something for him… but what was I supposed to do when he didn't want me help him?
Sasuke PoV.
Sakura was about to say something but I was too frustrated and annoyed remembering my dad's words, and also because I was angry at myself for making her worried for me. But this is my choice and I don't want anyone to meddle in this.
This is something I need to do. This is between me and father.
"Never mind it's something stupid with'out importance, just take care okay?" she gave me a fake smile before dashing out of my car without glancing back. I knew it was a fake smile because the happiness never reached her sad eyes.
I know I hurt her with the tone I used and I know she feels like I don't trust her but… maybe its better this way.
I drove home quickly, everything passed by me in a blur. Once I got home I strode until I got to my room walking as fast as my feet would take me just to avoid bumping into my dad.
I let my body fall on the bed while I was deep in thought staring at the ceiling of my dark room.
What can I do to change my father's stupid ideas? As I thought for a possible idea my blank brain just gave me one answer…Probably nothing.
Bring someone precious to me obviously didn't work, father doesn't give a damn whether if I love her or not. I bet he wouldn't even care if she is pregnant with my child.
Run away from home? Hum. As tempting as it sounds no… the whole point is not leaving and anyways dad will be gone by the end of the week and I'll spend another 4 months without seeing him.
"Sasuke?" I heard my mom's subtle voice speak from my door. "How are you son?"
I heard her footsteps nearing my bed but I didn't make a move, I just laid there glaring at the ceiling.
"I…I don't know"
I felt the bed decrease in height when she sat beside my legs.
"I'm sorry Sasuke, I can't do anything against your father, I tried, I swear I really did but he is so stubborn"
"it's not your fault mom"
"Sasuke…" suddenly I felt her hands grasping both sides of my face as she held her head above my face. She was crying.
"you have to leave for Sound" my eyes widened at her words. "I know you don't want to, and I don't want either, but I'd rather see you somewhere away from here than seeing you sad with someone you don't love"
I closed my eyes as I tight my hold on the fabric of my bed .
"I notice the way you looked at Sakura… it's obvious you love her son, you hide all your anger just to not worry her, and instead you put a smile on your face, I couldn't forgive myself if your dad forces you to marry someone who you don't even know, we can't do anything to change his mind when he has an idea nothing stops him and I don't want you to have a miserable life just because he wants to save one of his stupid companies, so please Sasuke tell him you'll leave before he destroys your life!" my mom was sobbing as she hugged me.
I was beyond mad, but not at mom, but at the truth of her words. There was nothing I could do to stop my dad's plans for my future, I couldn't fight him because nothing I do would be enough.
My brows were furrowed trembling angered ,as well as my hands, my mother arms surrounding me in a tight embrace and I felt something wet as my head rested on the crook of her neck.
At first I thought it was her tears, but then I figured out...that they were...mine.
chapter 15 done!
sorry for the long wait! i was in my search for a beta reader after people suggesting that i should get one! and i finally did it!

-x-
MANGA SPOILER IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE NEW MANGA CHAPTER THEN STOP READING!!
-x-
I almost cry with this chapter! really!! my eyes were all glazy and i bit my nails all the time while i was reading!
kishimoto how can you do that to Hinata!! she doesn't deserves to die!! and just after she finally told naruto that she loves him! and then naruto is all pissed at pain for what he did to her and he lets out 6 tails... i mean 6!!! this should mean something important.. i always thought that naruto was to go all crazy when he knew about jiraiya's death or kakashi's but no.. Kishi was waiting for someone more important for him. then naruhina could be possible!!...or could've been..
please i need someone to tell me she is going to be allright.. to many deaths of good characters are making me feel all sad...
and I have a bad feeling about this.. if Hinata dies.. that means there is a high possibility that narusaku happens! and that means no sasusaku!! - sound of my heart breaking into little pieces-
so what do you think? feel free to say what you think :)
oh yeah.. and review ^-^
