Chapter 11
"Misery"
Sasuke carried Sakura to his mansion. Sasuke walked fast, but carefully so she didn't lose any blood she didn't need to lose.
Sasuke was exhausted himself, and wanted to give up trying, but then he thought of the girl in his arms, and he kept on pushing himself.
Sasuke finally got to his mansion. There was a guard standing at the gate.
"Sasuke-sama! What happened!?" He asked.
"No time…need to get…Sakura help…" Sasuke said, ready to pass out.
"Sasuke-sama! Hang on!"
"Sakura…Hold on…please…don't leave me…please…" Sasuke breathed.
Sasuke's vision started to get blurry, and Sasuke's eyes began to slowly close.
"Sasuke-sama!? Sasuke-sama!?"
Sasuke barely saw more people come out of the mansion. He heard someone gasp.
"Sasuke!"
"No!"
"Who's that girl??"
"No time for that! We have got to get these two help right away!"
"Hai Fugaku-sama!" (By the way, can you guys tell me the mom's name? I think I got the dad's name right…isn't the mom's like Mikoto or something? Please tell me in your reviews)
The guards began to support Sasuke, and carry him.
"Wait…I'll take the girl." A voice said, that strangely sounded like Itachi's.
Sasuke's eyes closed more…'Must stay awake…' And they closed some more…'Have too…' A little more…'Sakura…' But finally sleep claimed the exhausted boy, but right before his eyes were totally shut, he saw his brother carrying Sakura bridal style. 'WTF…THAT BASTARD…' And everything went black.
XXXXX 2 Days Later XXXXX
"He seems to be alright. He didn't have many major injuries, but the ones he did have, are all healed now."
"Oh I see…thank you nurse. That'll be all."
"You're welcome Mikoto-sama"
There was the sound of the door closing lightly.
Sasuke was awake, and very tired. It felt like he couldn't move he was so sore. He opened his eyes slightly to be greeted with the blinding sun, which, he did not prefer at all.
"Oh Sasuke! You're finally awake! I'm so glad dear." A female voice said. Obviously, it was his mom.
Sasuke grumbled as he tried to sit up.
"Honey, please don't overexert yourself! You need to rest."
"Ugh…fine…" Sasuke said, as he lay back down. But suddenly he realized something.
"Wait, Sakura!" Sasuke shouted. Sasuke immediately begin getting up.
"Honey, sit back down right now! You need to rest!"
"Shut up! I'm fine!"
"Sasuke Uchiha! I am your mother, and I will not be spoken to that way!"
"Tch, whatever." Sasuke quickly threw off the covers and jumped out of bed. He ran to the door, and opened it. He spotted a maid walking in the halls, and ran up to her.
"Where's Sakura!?" He yelled.
"S-Sasuke-sama!"
"Did you hear what I said!?"
"W-who is this, Sakura-san, master?"
"The girl I brought here! The one with pink hair! Where is she!?"
"O-oh! S-she's with your brother. He insisted on her staying in his room to rest."
"What!?" Sasuke said. His eyes turned red. "ITACHIIII!" Sasuke yelled as he sprinted all the way down the hall to his brother's room, ignoring the pain running through his body.
When Sasuke finally got to Itachi's room, he slammed the door open. "Itachi!" Sasuke shouted. Sasuke scanned the room and saw Sakura sleeping peacefully in Itachi's bed. And Itachi was sitting in a chair next to the mattress, watching her.
Itachi looked up. "Oh, it's just you brother…oh, and I wouldn't want to be so noisy, and cause Sakura-chan to wake up."
"Don't call her that!" Sasuke spat.
Itachi smirked. "Or what, foolish little brother?"
Sasuke growled, but ignored the comment. "I swear, if you did anything to her-"
"Calm down…I did no such thing."
Sasuke relaxed.
"But I did do one thing…"
Sasuke froze.
"You can just say…I examined her, perhaps…"
"What did you do to her?" Sasuke growled dangerously.
"Ok, ok, nothing like that…but I uhhh…hmm…watched her, you could say…she's a very interesting girl…very interesting indeed."
"How would you know? She's been asleep this whole time. You can't tell if someone is interesting unless they're awake."
Itachi scoffed. "Do you underestimate my skills?..." He said sarcastically. "Look, I just know these things…that's all you need to know…and that maybe I'll be keeping an eye out for this girl."
"Don't you touch her…or even get near her! Got it!?"
"Tch…I'll do whatever I wish, foolish little brother." And with that, Itachi walked out the door. (just to remind you guys, tell me in your reviews if you want some ita/sak)
"Grrr…that bastard…" Sasuke said while glaring at the door. But then Sasuke's eyes softened as he looked at the peacefully sleeping figure on the bed. She looked so cute when she was sleeping. No, not cute, but absolutely beautiful.
Sasuke walked over to her and sat next to her on the bed, admiring her gorgeous traits.
Sakura squeezed her eyes shut tightly, and groaned. She tossed and turned on the mattress.
"Mom…Mom! Stop! Please no!" Sakura shouted.
'She's having a nightmare…' Sasuke thought.
Sasuke gently moved Sakura so she was partially sitting up. He placed her head on his chest, and wrapped his arms around her.
"Shhh…it's ok…everything will be ok…I'm here now…" Sasuke whispered in her ear. Sasuke caressed her head, running his hands through her silky pink locks.
Sakura calmed down, and went back to sleeping quietly.
Sasuke smiled at the resting form in front of him…yes he smiled, not smirked, but actually a genuine smiled. It was something that was reserved for his Sakura only. (Oh no! Sasuke smiled! The world is coming to an end! XP)
Sasuke wished it could be this way forever. Sasuke was ready to fall asleep when he heard a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" Sasuke asked, carefully moving Sakura back into her resting place.
"U-um, it is I, Akiko, Sasuke-sama…" Obviously a made said.
"You may come in."
She opened the door some, and poked her head inside. "Um, I'm sorry to bother you Sasuke-sama, but your parents have summoned you to their bedroom." She informed him.
"Hn. Tell them I'll be there soon."
"Yes Sasuke-sama." And then she bowed and left the room.
Sasuke sighed and got up from the bed. He took one more look at Sakura, and then left the room after Akiko.
XXXXX Parent's Room XXXXX
Sasuke knocked on his parent's door.
"Who is it?" The gruff voice of his father called.
"Me, dad."
"Oh, you may enter."
Sasuke went into the room. And when he did he saw Itachi pass him in the hallway, going back towards his own room. (The one where Sakura was) Their eyes met, and Itachi smirked.
'Shit…Damn that bastard…' Sasuke thought.
"Sasuke, close the door." Fugaku said.
Sasuke glared one more time out the hall, and then lightly closed the door.
"What did you want to talk about now?" Sasuke asked impatiently.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Fugaku asked.
Sasuke scoffed. "Tch, who said I was?"
"Well, from the way you're acting, I'd say you were." Mikoto said.
"Hn, whatever."
"Anyways, back to the point. Sasuke, I understand that you brought a girl back with you from the explosion. Am I correct?" Fugaku said
"Hn, yeah."
"Who is she?"
"Haruno, Sakura. She goes to my school."
"Hm I see…She's a new girl right? Because I have never heard of her."
"Yes, she is."
"And how exactly did you meet her?"
"Almost ran over her with my bike, (His motorcycle) Introduced to her by Naruto, got every class with her, was assigned to be science partners with her, along with Neji, that is. Aaand that's about it." Sasuke explained. Sasuke grinded his teeth and clenched his fists when he mentioned Neji. And he decided not to mention the little incident at the dance.
"Hm, I see. And how were you with her when the explosion occurred?"
Sasuke hesitated. He didn't want to tell them that he liked her, (maybe even loved! ) and was about to confess that when he was going over there. "Um, well Sakura left her book at school, and I decided to drop it off there." Sasuke lied.
Mikoto looked at him suspiciously. "Are you sure that's why you went over there?" Mikoto asked disbelievingly.
Sasuke gulped. "Uh…Well, I…What I'm trying to say is…um I-" His dad cut him off
" Nevermind about that. Oh, and Sasuke, I never really had a chance to talk to you about that event…Tell me what happened there."
"Ok…well I was walking to her house, and I saw a suspicious black van parked outside her house, and one of the windows was broken, so I became on guard. I knocked on the door a couple of times, but there was no answer. Then I heard a scream, and I knocked down the door. Her house was huge, so I had to search for some time. I finally came up with a body-"
"Sakura's?"
"No, not hers. This body was…dead."
Mikoto gasped.
"It was the body of Sakura's mom. I thought it was Sakura at first, but she looked older, and had some gray hair in her genetic pink hair. I searched some more for Sakura, and found her in a room with a guy all over her. Literally. I fought him for awhile, and then I finally was able to knock him unconscious. I went over to Sakura to see if she was alright, but she was loosing blood really fast. I heard a ticking, and realized it was a bomb about to detonate any second. So I carried Sakura out just in time. And I covered her from the flying particles of debris. And I carried her all the way to the mansion. And now, we're here."
"Wow…" Fugaku said.
"Yes…that is so…so…so romantic!" Mikoto said, while making a fist with both hands and putting them to the side of her chin. Her eyes were hearts, and there was music playing from somewhere…
Fugaku and Sasuke sweatdropped.
"Ahem…" Fugaku regained order. "Alright then Sasuke…that is all. You may leave."
"Hai."
And with that, Sasuke exited the room. When Sasuke was outside the room he slid down the door onto his butt. Sasuke gave a big sigh. Well, I guess that'll be his talking for the whole month! XP Sasuke remembered Itachi and Sakura, and headed off for his brother's room.
XXXXX INSIDE THE MAIN BEDROOM XXXXX
Fugaku and Mikoto started talking…well, actually, it was just Mikoto.
"OH MY GOD. My Sasuke has finally found a woman he is interested in! And lemme tell you, a mother ALWAYS waits for this day to come, well more this mother than the rest…but that Sakura girl did seem interesting. I'm gonna have to have a one on one talk with her…you know, girl to girl…female to female…oooo mother to daughter! Ahhh! This is so exciting! And he was so lying when he said that she forgot her book at school and he was going over to give it to her! You know he was going over there to tell her he loved her! A mother can tell these things you know! And did you see when Sasuke was explaining how he met Sakura? And when he mentioned this Neji guy, he looked so angry and jealous!" Mikito squealed. Then, she gave a big gasp.
"Mikoto, what is it?" Fugaku asked alarmed.
"…" Mikoto's eyes were unfocused.
"Honey, what's the matter??" Fugaku asked worriedly.
"……WHAT IF IT'S A LOVE TRIANGLE?!?! OH MY GOD! THIS IS SO ROMANTIC! WHY DIDN"T HE TELL ME ABOUT THIS BEFORE?! I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW! LALALALALAAA!..." And she kept going on about ponies or something…
Fugaku sweatdropped.
'I knew I shouldn't have let her drink all that wine last night…' Fugaku thought.
Fugaku sighed, and helped his oh so wonderful wife into the bathroom to help her get ready for dinner.
XXXXX WITH SASUKE XXXXX
Sasuke walked to Itachi's room and saw him at his desk reading, but no Sakura.
"Where's Sakura?" Sasuke asked.
"I don't know."
Sasuke glared at him. "Yes you do. Tell me where you put her, now."
"How many times do I have to repeat myself? I said I don't know. Now stop irking me." Itachi said, not taking his eyes off of his book.
"Hn." Sasuke said, as he walked towards the door.
"I bet she's taking a look around the house. And I'm sure she's alright, she can handle herself."
"Yeah but she should still be resting. She can't handle on her own until she heals. It's still too early for her to be walking around."
"Hn. Well then go find her if you're that concerned about her health."
"Hn, I will." And with that, Sasuke left the room.
Itachi smirked. "Foolish little brother." Itachi said, as he went back to reading his book.
XXXXX WITH SAKURA XXXXX
Sakura was wondering around the house, admiring all the handiwork of the mansion. She knew she shouldn't be walking around yet, but she had to satisfy her curiosity.
"Wow, this house is so beautiful!" Sakura said in awe.
"Uh, it's really not that much better than yours you know…" Inner Sakura said.
"Yeah well I guess I've just never seen a house like mine…" Sakura said. "…Oh, that's right…I don't have a house anymore…" Sakura said as she collapsed onto the floor balling into her hands. Sakura found a door and pushed it open. It was a nice room. It had one queen-sized bed, a nicely carved desk, a matching closet, and a matching chair. There was a bathroom that connected to it through a door.
Sakura crawled in and closed and locked the door behind her. "Mom…" She leaned against the door and cried her eyes out.
XXXXX WITH SASUKE XXXXX
Sasuke had to look everywhere for Sakura. And that would take a very long time, considering how big his mansion was…
He came across a part of the house that nobody ever really goes. And he heard a faint cry coming from within.
Sasuke walked further into the area. The crying became louder and clearer.
'That must be Sakura!' Sasuke thought.
Sasuke walked over to the door, and knocked.
There was no answer.
He tried again, but all he heard was crying.
"Sakura?" Sasuke said.
"…"
"Sakura, is that you?"
"sniff…sniff…yeah…who's asking?"
"It's me…Sasuke."
"Oh…" Sakura said. Sasuke was expecting her to open the door, but she never did.
"…Can I come in?..." Sasuke asked.
"No…" Sakura answered.
"Why not?"
"Because I said so." Sakura simply replied.
"Sakura, you know you're not supposed to be out of bed yet. Your wounds still need to heal."
"Tch, I'm fine." Sakura insisted.
"Sakura, get out here now." Sasuke said. It was more like a demand than a request.
"No." Sakura said, still crying.
"Fine, then I'm coming in." Sasuke said. He tried opening the door, but found that it was locked. 'Damn…'
"What did you expect? For it to be open?" Inner Sasuke said.
"Tch…Sakura open the door."
"Do you think I'm going to?"
"Ugh. Sakura, quit being so troublesome." Sasuke said.
'Great, now I'm beginning to sound like Shikamaru…What a drag…Damn!'
"You stop being so troublesome! Just…just leave me alone!"
"Sakura! I'm gonna break down the door if you don't open it right now!" Sasuke warned.
"Fine! Go ahead and try!"
"Fine!" Sasuke took a couple of steps back, and charged at the door. He successfully knocked it down. He ran into the room, to find a sight that made his heart go weak.
Sakura was on the bed. And her face was all red and wet from crying. Her eyes were all puffy and heartbroken. She looked shocked that he actually knocked down the door. Her hands were in front of her face, her towel for her oncoming tears. She looked like someone who was getting ready to jump off of a building they were so depressed.
"Sakura…I…"
But before he could finish, Sakura made a run for the bathroom.
Sasuke saw what she was trying to do and tried to get there before she did.
But Sakura was closer, so she zoomed into the bathroom and slammed the door.
Sasuke tried turning the knob, but it was locked. "Damn it Sakura! Open the door!"
"No!"
Sasuke growled. He couldn't break down the door again, because this bathroom was kind of small, and he might hurt Sakura.
"You better open up this door Sakura!"
"Oh just shut up already!" Sakura yelled.
Sasuke froze. He never heard her so angry…and she was directing it towards him. "…What?..." Sasuke said.
"You heard what I said! No just leave me alone!"
"tch… whatever…" Sasuke said, as he did in fact leave her alone.
Sakura sighed and slid down against the door, and started crying again.
XXXXX SOME TIME LATER XXXXX
"Sakura, you have to eat honey, it's very bad for your health." Mikoto said, trying to coax Sakura out to eat.
She hasn't eaten for 4 days, basically everyone in the household was trying to help.
Sasuke walked over to his mom. "Did you get her to eat anything?" Sasuke asked.
Mikoto frowned. "No dear. Nothing."
"Damn…" Sasuke said. He was really worried about Sakura. If she kept this up, things wouldn't last for very much longer.
"She's been crying the whole entire time she's been in there." Sasuke said. "I wish she should just suck it up and get out here."
"Well, I guess that her bond with her mother was very strong…" Mikoto said. She sighed. "I wish you could be more like that…" She said, as she walked away while putting the food on a table next to Sasuke.
Sasuke rolled his eyes and went back to pacing.
"Sakura, please just come out and eat."
"NO, I'm not hungry."
Sasuke sighed. She was making this very difficult. "Sakura, I know you're hungry, so just come out and eat."
"NO."
"Sakura, get your ass out here and quit sulking. You can't just shut yourself off from people and your life."
"Oh don't you go try and lecture me! What would you know!? You don't understand anything about me! You're the one who takes life for granted and always push people away. That is why you're so god damn cold!"
"…" Sasuke was silent. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"So you should just go to hell! I want my house back! I want my mother back! I want my life back! Why did you have to come and save me!? Why couldn't you just stay out of my business and let me die with my mother!? Then, I would be with her right now!"
But Sasuke cut her off before she could say anything else. "Don't you say that!" Sasuke spat.
Sakura stayed quiet.
"Don't you dare say that! Your mother died trying to protect you! And if you died after, her efforts would have been put to waste! And all you're doing is feeling bad for yourself, and sulking all fuckin day! (sorry for the language XP) The reason why your mom died is because she wanted you to move on and live a long, happy life! But you can't even do that! Don't just give up and throw away your life! You, of all people I know, deserve to live the most! So don't you ever die on me! Got it!?"
"…" There was no sound coming from the other side of the door.
Sasuke thought that he of pushed it too far. He was afraid that he crossed the line, and could never get back over again.
Then Sasuke heard crying on the other side. Sasuke felt a pang in his heart. He never wanted this. He regretted ever saying any of those things.
"Sakura…I…I'm sor-" But before he could go any further, the door opened. And there stood the love of his life. With bones sticking out from under her skin, and her eyes all swollen and red.
Sasuke's eyes widened. "S…Sakura…"
Sakura was looking down at the ground. Then slowly went up to meet his gaze.
"Sasuke…" Sakura said. Sakura took a wobbly step forward. Then another. She was about to take another, when she collapsed.
Sasuke quickly caught her, and looked at her with concerned eyes.
"Sakura, are you alright?" Sasuke said.
Sakura gave a small smile. "Sasuke…I'm so sorry for making you worry."
"Don't apologize!...I'm the one who's sorry Sakura…I should of never said those things to you…I'm…I'm so sorry…Sasuke said as he buried his face into the crook of her neck, inhaling her scent.
"I-I'm so glad…" Sakura said. "…I'm…I'm so…so tired…" Sakura breathed before she passed out.
Sasuke looked down at the angel in his arms and smiled. He picked her up bridal style, and carried her down the hall.
He came across Mikoto, and she gasped.
"Oh, Sasuke! She finally came out!? Is she alright?!"
Sasuke smiled down at Sakura. "Yeah…" he said. "She will be…" Sasuke finished, as he carried her down into the depths of the hall.
