Things I never said, chapter 2, Worried
Sasuke awoke from the few hours of sleep that he had with the sun beaming through his window on to his tired face. Sasuke slowly removed his sheets from his dirty body and sat on the edge of his bed. He turned his head to the side and looked at his alarm clock
'06.30am'
His stomach growled at him for food and he unwillingly got up and walked down stairs to his fridge in the kitchen. Whilst in front of the fridge, Sasuke let out a big yawn and a stretch before opening the fridge door; it was empty! So he grabbed himself a cup of coffee hoping it would wake him. Sleepily he walked into his boring lounge and switched on the TV before sitting on his very hard, uncomfortable sofa.
Sasuke wasn't really paying attention to the TV in front of him, he just stared at the floor thinking about what he had to do 'Go food shopping, maybe buy a new sofa even though it doesn't bother me that it's hard, see Sakura that's if she will talk to me and go train, no I'm not training today; I'm too tired' He took his last sip of his coffee and left it on the coffee table and went and took a shower.
15 minutes later
He stood out of the shower as he reached for a towel and wrapped it around his waist. Sasuke carefully walked to his mirror above the sink trying not to slip on the wet floor and looked at himself for a few minutes 'God, Sasuke you look a mess' his inner self told him with a concerned voice. He furrowed his eyebrows at himself and then turned and picked up another towel to dry his hair and did this as he walked to his closet to get some fresh clean clothes.
Sasuke looked at his black shirt that hung in his closet, he was bored of his clothes with the family crest on, but it meant so much to him, his clan and his family. He pulled his shirt over his head, grabbed his boxers and shorts and put them on and jogged back in to the bathroom 'I better leave soon, I don't want to bump in to my fan club again' .
Sasuke stood at the mirror fixing his hair with gel, once he had finished he took one last look 'That's better, you don't look like dog shit now' his inner self teased.
Sasuke picked up his keys and left his house. Jumping roof to roof towards the super market, he jumped past Sakura's kitchen window and took a quick glance. It didn't look like she was in, 'She's probably with Ino, I'll see Ino later and ask if she found out the meaning for Sakura's actions yesterday' He thought as he carried on jumping roof to roof of the pleasant houses of Konoha on a sunny Saturday morning, with the wind blowing through his black locks.
Sasuke had finally finished his shopping, after the very terrifying encounter with his fan girls. He walked home as his ripped shirt dangled over his left shoulder, he stopped at the sound of screaming and shouting 'oh, no not those fucking fan girls again' he said to himself angrily as he turned to his right but they weren't calling out his name it sounded like …
"SAKURA-CHAN! WHERE ARE YOU !" Naruto shouted in a high pitched voice as he ran to every shop in the high street. Sasuke looked at his male team mate and smirked at his friends still girly voice as he wondered over.
"What's wrong Naruto?" He asked as he watched his friend in amusement, running to either side of the store.
"Where's Sakura-Chan!" Naruto replied almost running into a shelf of the sweet shop that was piled up with bags of wine gums and cola bottles.
"Why? You going to ask her out again?" Sasuke snorted folding his arms and turned his back on Naruto.
"NO, I don't have a crush on her now, anyway. Since when did you start caring!" Naruto lied and pointed at Sasuke as he said that, with a weird expression lingering on his face. One that Sasuke has never seen before on him ever since they have known each other not like he really took notice of Naruto.
"…"
" Well, have you seen her or not!" An irritated Naruto asked the now pissed off Sasuke from the last comment from his friend.
" NO DOBE, I thought she was with you and Ino? Have you tried her apartment!" Sasuke said in calm cool tone trying to hide his worried expression for the green eyed girl.
"Ermm… let me think, OF COURSE WE HAVE THAT WAS THE FIRST PLACE WE LOOKED, BAKA!" Naruto said the first part sarcastically and then throwing his body forwards at Sasuke as he shouted the last two parts of his sentence. At this point Sasuke was worried more than he thought he would be.
"Meet me at the ramen bar in half an hour! I'll help you look for her, I just need to take my shopping home." Sasuke blurted out quickly then left.
" BUT SASUKE!" Naruto shouted but was too late to give the Uchiha another sarcastic comment. Naruto pondered on how weird his black eyed team mate was acting lately as he starred at the ground with the icy blue eyes of his. He almost forgot about the search for Sakura until he heard another shout from Ino calling out for her best friend.
Sasuke rushed to check Sakura's apartment, he first knocked at the door and waited.
No reply
He opened the letter box and looked around but it was to small to look far around though.
"Sakura are you in ?" He sighed and jumped on the roof of the female shinobi's apartment and leaped down on the window seal of her bedroom window and took another look. Out of the corner of his eye he saw something pink. He turned to the pink shade and his black eyes became wide as his gaze fell on Sakura… behind her bed… unconscious. 'MY SAKURA!' his inner self screamed at him. Without thinking Sasuke smashed the window to her room with his fist. Glass cut in to his hand as he did this and he jumped in breaking the lamp with his foot.
He ran and knelt down quickly by Sakura's side. He looked at her for a second and brushed her soft hair with his strong hand 'My Sakura'. He stopped and gently lifted her up in his arms with her head leaning on his hard chest, his heart beating fast.
Sasuke rushed out her room and down the hall to the front door, that he was knocking on earlier. He couldn't open the door for he was supporting Sakura's petit body so. He used chakra in his legs and feet and kicked the door off it's hinges. Running down the stairs and on to the streets of Konoha, towards the hospital.
XXXXXX
Meanwhile at the Ramen bar
" WHERE THE HELL IS HE! He's 15 minutes late already, I hope he hasn't bumped in to Kakashi and they went for a walk and 'got lost on the road of life" The noisy ninja moaned to the frustrated mind nin next to him. A loud groan came from Naruto's stomach and he looked down. Ino looked at him with disgust written on her face.
"I'm so hungry, lets get ramen!" Naruto grinned and made his way to sit down.
" You pig!" Ino turned her back and saw a figure wearing black running towards them with dust following behind him. She looked closer and shook her head in shock. Sasuke ran straight past them with Sakura in his arms. Blood fell from his fist down on the floor and on to Sakura's pink pyjamas. Ino watched her ex - crush run with his team mate and then spotted the blood on the floor. She ran after Sasuke without saying a word to Naruto who didn't have a clue what was going on and just followed.
It was now 3.19pm in the hospital room 301 where Sakura began to stir in her sleep. Sasuke looked over at her from where he was leaning against the wall next to the window, waiting for Ino and Naruto to get back with refreshments. She was making little grumbling noises in her sleep and Sasuke knew that she would wake up soon and he went back to starring out the window.
Sakura slowly opened her eyes and looked around at her surroundings 'Where the fuck am I !' She thought as she turned to her right and saw a dark raven haired man looking out the window.
"Sasuke?" she asked in a whisper, a whisper loud enough for him to hear her. Sasuke turned around to look at the confused woman that was now lying up in the bright white bed. " Where am I ?" She asked softly, after saying this she remembered the plan.
"Your at the hospital" He replied in his normal cool calm voice as he stood up straight.
" Why the hell did YOU bring me here and how did YOU get in to my apartment!" She shouted folding her arms across her chest and huffed.
" I was on my way out and passed your window and noticed you unconscious on the floor so I broke in and brought you here, you always looked after me during the early team 7 days when I got injured I'm only doing the same" Sasuke lied as he walked out the room and left the confused Sakura to take off her mask of acting and sighed.
Out side Sakura's hospital room, Sasuke walked up to the main desk for that floor and ask one of the nurses.
" Haruno Sakura in room 301 is awake, when will she be allowed home?" he asked looking down at the nurse at the desk.
" She will need to be checked over by the doctor, she will most likely be allowed home at around 5 o'clock" the nurse answered and with her reply Sasuke walked down the corridor, passing his friends on they're way back.
"Sasuke - Kun?" Ino asked waiting for the reason for his sudden departure.
No response
When Ino and her stupid male friend walked in to the now conscious woman's room who they knew as Sakura. She tilted her head to the side and smiled at the two who were happy for there dear friend to be awake and to have the old Sakura back, her normal cheerful self.
Ino sat on the bed next to Sakura " How do you feel? Did you have a nice nap?" Ino giggled at the last part.
"Yeah, it was good thanks" she replied sarcastically and stretched her arms out as her muscles pulled tighter.
"Sasuke was really worried about you, I think the plan is working!" Ino smiled with her big white teeth sparkling from the light that came through the window. Naruto looked shocked at the two girls on the bed.
"NANI? PLAN?" Naruto asked with wide eyes, hoping that his friends didn't have a plan on him too. Ino and Sakura both looked at him and laughed but it came out sounding fake. Naruto took a step back from the now silent ladies who knew how nervous he was.
Outside Sakura's apartment
Sakura slowly walked up the steps to her apartment and stopped in front of her door. She sighed in relief " I'm so glad to be home'' She said to herself out loud. She checked her pockets for her house keys she suddenly paused, wide eyed. " SHIT!" she shouted out to no one but herself. She knelt down to her door mat as she mumbled " That bastard didn't pick up my keys before he left".
She lifted up the mat and looked under it for spare keys but found nothing apart from dust. She sat down and leant on her door and she heard a loud 'CRACK' as she fell backwards. And then 'BANG'.
"FUCKING HELL!" Sakura shouted after she hit her head on the door, she rubbed the back of her head with her hand and then opened her eyes. She blinked at what she saw, it was her hall way ceiling she sat up in surprise. She was sitting on her front door
"What the hell is going on?" she said to herself.
INNER SAKURA: 'YOUR GOING MAD, SOON YOU WILL BE SITTING IN THE CORNER OF A CUSIONED WALL ROOM WEARING A STRAIGHT JACKET WEIRDO!'
" SHUT THE FUCK UP, IM NOT GOING MAD" she screamed at her inner self and paused with furrowed eyebrows 'I am going mad' She thought as she lifted her body off the door. She sighed, picking up the door to her apartment and propped it back up to the door way.
Sakura thought that she would take a bath after the day she had, had and walked in to her bedroom to get her bath robe, on entering the room she found broken glass over her floor and bed "What the fuck?"
She looked around the room to find where the glass had come from but then felt a breeze on her face, she looked at the window. Her face turned red with anger she turned round and huffed down the hall to her phone. She raised the receiver up to her ear as she started dialling Sasuke's number and then stopped half way through ' He was worried, bless his little cotton socks, he actually does care about me' (a/n: I know that they don't wear socks , they wear sandals but I just thought it was cute and funny for Sakura to say it heheehee) she smiled and put the phone down. She turned towards her bedroom and walked to her closet, as she took off her normal red dress the phone rang. Sakura ran down the hall in a matching black bra and knickers and picked up the phone
" Moshi moshi" she answered waiting for the person on the other line to speak.
"Sakura, we need to talk. I'll pick you up at eight" the other person said on the line and hung up.
'Sasuke?' Sakura thought as she put the phone 'Ino's plan is working after all'
She smiled and carried on getting undressed as she walked in to her bathroom.
25 minutes later
Sakura sat on her bed with her hands held on her stomach and thoughts escaped her mind. What if he asked her that question that she has been dreading for half an hour now! What if he did ask her why? what would she say to him? She thought about a possible answer but couldn't find the right words.
'BEEP!' The sound came from below Sakura's window. She looked around her room and snapped out of her thoughts. Another noise came from out side as Sakura leaned out of the broken window, being careful not to cut her self on the glass that still laid on the floor.
'BEEP!'
Looking up at the window, Sasuke leaned on the driver's side door with his arms folded. She looked down at him, she was surprised to see him with a black convertible with the Uchiha crest proudly painted on the front, and also surprised that he was early. She moved her broken front door out of the way and walked out of her home and put the door back in its place. She walked down to the car where Sasuke was waiting, and gave him a disappointed look and showed him that she was not fussed about his convertible.
Sasuke put the keys in the ignition and gave Sakura a quick glance before turning the key. Sakura smiled inwardly as he started the car and spun the steering wheel to turn around, they finally gathered up speed. Wind blowing his black bangs in his face which he removed with his right hand and placed it back on the gear stick. He felt something tickle his hand and couldn't help but smirk, he looked at his hand and found a pink bubblegum coloured strain of hair. The journey was silent until they reached the tall gates, they were exiting Konoha.
"Where are we going?" Sakura asked pointing to her lip with her index finger in thought.
"…"
"I'm going to the city near by, you know where I will be in case of an emergency" Sasuke spoke calmly to the guard.
"Hai" the guard nodded indicating that he knew of Sasuke's soon to be whereabouts.
Sasuke drove out of the village leaving the guard to close the gates. Both sat silently at the front thinking about what could happen tonight, the good and bad things.
The rest of the journey continued in silence, they reached a cliff and Sasuke pulled up to the edge, and without saying a word, got out the car and shut the door behind him. Sakura watched her crush do this and blinked blankly at him. ' What the hell is he going to do? Throw me off the cliff or something?' She shivered at the thought as she got a vision of her self falling from the high landscape, she closed her eyes quickly to get the fucked up image out of her mind. Sasuke looked at her with weird eyes and motioned with his hands to get out of the car. She did what she was told and stood out side of the black vehicle like a wet lemon with her hands tangled together behind her back.
"Sakura?" Sasuke demanded for her to come sit with him, he pulled his body on to the bonnet putting all his weight on the front of his fancy car. Sakura did the same and they both laid back in unison, leaning against the windscreen. They were dead silent looking up at the stars, listening to the crickets playing they're little songs in the back ground of the beautiful features of the cliff.
Sasuke turned his head to Sakura, watching her curiously. Sakura knew that he was looking and prayed to God that he wouldn't ask that damn question that she was thinking about earlier. 'Please, Please, Just don't ask me' She closed her eyes and kept them closed until she couldn't feel the black mysterious eyes lingering on her face.
Sasuke turned and carried on gazing up at the stars, in deep thought. 'My Sakura, why the hell did I think that for, I'm not in love with her am I?' He questioned himself before his inner self broke in ' What the fuck are you thinking Sasuke, of course you don't , you cold bastard. You just want to break her heart and watch her die, at least she wont annoy you!' . Sasuke played with the long pink hair that he had on his hand, the same one that had been trying to make him laugh on the way to their destination, weaving and tying it around his index finger.
Sakura felt her stomach and badly wanted to go home to eat and sleep, she knew that it had to be asked and she knew what he would say, but it would be better to get it over and done with. She looked at her watch and noticed that it was now 10.51pm!
" What do you want, Sasuke?" She nervously turned her head to face the dark boy laying next to her.
" I want to know what's going on?" He asked still starring up at the stars.
"What do you mean?" she acted out like she didn't have a clue what he was talking about, he turned and gave her a weird look. She swallowed hard.
"I mean what the hell was that about yesterday!" He was now getting annoyed, he knew that she knew exactly what he meant. He turned onto his side to look at the pretty eyed woman that was now in front of him.
"Nothing" Sakura shrugged her shoulders and looked up to the night sky, trying not to let him see through her fake expression. But he had already seen it and furrowed his eyebrows at her.
" Don't lie, I'm not stupid!" He said in a loud angry voice, his Sharingan almost activating on the girls face as he still looked at her.
"It's none of your business!" She panicked and continued to act as she folded her arms with her head held high.
"Hn" Sasuke turned his body 180 degrees and laid on his other side with his eyes closed. Silence once again consumed them for an hour and a half, both starring into space.
Just thinking.
Sakura took a quick look at her watch that was buckled on her left wrist. It was 12.22 am, she turned away from her watch and then suddenly looked back at it like she had missed the other hand on the watch. '12.22 am Oh My God, I don't have to act anymore, now the 2 day period plan is finished' She smiled and turned to Sasuke, who was still laying on his side with his back towards her.
Sakura sat up, brushing her hair away from her face and leaned over Sasuke "When can we leave, Sasuke-Kun ?" She smiled sweetly as turned his head to look at her.
' What the fuck? She's changed AGAIN!' Sasuke thought to himself and replied
"When ever you want?".
" Can we leave now, I have to get…" Sakura said jumping of the car but was cut off when Sasuke jumped up from his position and grabbed her hand.
"Sakura…?" Sasuke asked, unsure of what he was doing.
TO BE CONTINUED…..
