He smirked, taking in her sitting position as she stared at nothing specific in front of her. He leaned forward on the couch, coming close to her ear and resting his head on her shoulder.
She flinched.
His smirk grew wider.
"So Sakura, what are we supposed to be doing on our project again? I couldn't hear."
She ignored the fact that she shivered when he talked near her, her skin reacting to his warm breath with Goosebumps.
Just ignore it Sakura. He's just… doing it to get a rise out of you.
"Well… we're—"
He exhaled next to her, smirking as more Goosebumps popped out of her skin.
"We're…" She gulped. "Supposed to, um, do a… a project on traditions, and we got, um—"
Gritting her teeth, she moved a bit further down the couch, trying to regain her personal space.
He only jumped onto the couch from behind, both their legs being inches away from each other. He crossed his arms behind his head, staring at her with obsidian eyes because he knew it got on her nerves.
She stopped their staring contest to get some papers from her bag. She was glad that she wasn't looking at him, even though she knew he was staring at her intently.
"Um…" She started to say, looking at the papers. "Okay I don't know how to pronounce this."
He leaned over, his arm touching hers, and read the paper.
He was very aware of the blush that was rising on her cheeks.
"Yohi de Jilin as Mokain… oh I heard of this."
"You… you did?"
His eyes flicked towards her vibrant green ones, full of curiosity.
She tried ignored how close their faces were.
He slightly smirked. "Yes… it's more of a, ritual, a curse. It bonds two people for eternity with their own blood."
She grimaced. "Why would anyone want to do that?"
She didn't realize it, she was too busy being uncomfortable by his gaze, but his eyes suddenly filled with something evil… something that would frighten Sakura if she had noticed.
But she didn't, and she didn't realize that it would be the death of her.
He shrugged slightly, but kept staring at her.
"Who knows?" He began to whisper, his face moving closer to hers but she didn't realize it, as she was too busy trying to understand the reason anyone would want to bond themselves with their own blood. "Maybe… they wanted to be with someone?"
She rolled her eyes. "It's called marriage."
"But marriage can be broken."
Silence overcame them; Sakura, because she didn't know what to say, and Sasuke, because he wanted to see her reaction.
She shrugged. "Yea well, by blood? I'm sure there are other ways to… bond yourself with another person."
He sighed. "Of course, but… I'm sure it's less… gruesome than mixing the blood of two people and then drinking it—"
"Ew!" She cried out, shaking her head. "What are they, vampires?"
He chuckled, amused by the innocence that this girl hid under her fiery temper. "No, they just… want to be with each other for eternity. There's nothing wrong with that."
"But, but, they're… they're…"
"There are different ways to bond, Sakura."
She moved further down the seat, ignoring the smirk Sasuke had on his face.
"Well, maybe. Um," She looked at her watch, and was thankful for the time. "Oh, I have to go! C-curfew and all…" She stuttered.
He raised an eyebrow. "Sakura, its six."
"O-oh, w-well, I should go home anyway. Don't want to worry the parents! And it'll be dark soon… bye Sasuke!"
She grabbed her bag, and ran out with her jacket.
He stared at her through the door, watching with amusement as she ran next door. They both knew that it didn't matter if it was dark, seeing as she lived next door anyway.
"Want me to walk you home?" He called out after her, knowing it would take a few minutes to walk, well in her case run, down the path from his mansion to the street.
"No! I mean, it's okay, really! Bye Sasuke!"
She ran faster.
He sighed, and walked back into his house.
All I need Sakura, is a bit more time. And then…
You'll be mine.
And no man will ever touch you.
Ever.
Yes, I updated. Hm, must be the end of the world.
Jk.
Love,
Ivy
