Things I Never Said. Chapter 6, Rings, boxes and new surroundings.
Sakura was lying on her sofa that was covered with a big dirty white cloth. She flicked through the channels on TV. She looked really tired and she was. Sakura spent that whole morning packing to move to Sasuke's house. Sasuke called her late last night saying that he was home from his mission and that today she would be moving in. He didn't give her a time when he would come round and help her move her things.
Sakura sighed as she put down the controller and grabbed a cushion placing it behind her back.
With her eyes slowly closing, she yawned out "When is Sasuke getting here?" To no one but herself.
There was a sudden knock at the door. Sakura paused as she waited for the door to knock again. She waited for a few seconds and the knocking did come again.
"Sasuke!" She whispered loudly, she jumped up off the sofa with a big smile on her face. She had a big burst of energy and ran to the door. She opened the door to an irritated Sasuke, who had to knock more than once.
With his arms crossed, Sasuke asked, "What took you so long?"
Sakura could hear the irritation in his voice, she smiled sweetly to him and ignored his question. "So where shall we start?" She sighed, looking behind her at all the boxes. Sasuke looked in the same direction, when he saw how many boxes there were, his right eye started to twitch. Sakura turned to look at Sasuke who was still looking at the boxes.
"Erm…Sasuke, something is wrong with your eye!" She said with a concerned voice while pointing to her left eye. Sasuke looked at her with his eye still twitching, he tried to stop the uncontrollable twitching but couldn't. His eye just kept on twitching and there was nothing he could do about it!
"Sakura, you're fucking with me…right? You're bringing all this shit with you?" Sasuke asked angrily but tried to stay cool at the same time. He could feel his eye twitch even faster. With the anger and irritation he had, had enough at this point, he was about to go mad. Sakura saw how upset he was and lowered her head and nodded.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Sasuke. I'll hire someone to help me move this stuff to yours." She said quietly. When Sasuke heard that, his eyes switched to Sharingan, that was it!
"I DON'T FUCKING MEAN THAT, I MEAN WHERE THE FUCK AM I GOING TO PUT IT ALL?" Sasuke shouted at Sakura, as tears started to fall down her face.
Sasuke's expression changed to a sad sort of expression, he looked away from her down to the floor. "Sorry, Sakura" He apologized quietly with his head down and rubbing the back of his neck. He didn't like to see her cry, though he wouldn't admit it to anyone, especially when he made her cry. Even since he had these feelings for her, he didn't know how to control himself.
Minutes had past and neither of them spoke, Sakura finally decided to break the uncomfortable silence by asking "I think maybe we should buy the ring first, just in case someone sees us and asks "'what's going on?'" Sakura sighs and starts waving her arms in the air before talking again "The nosey old bags, who sit in that beauty salon most of their lives, talking about other peoples lives" She said in a posh ladies accent. "OH JESUS CHRIST, I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW BITCHY THEY ARE!" Sakura said making her voice louder as she said it, crossing her arms over her chest with her eyes closed. She was just trying to be funny, she didn't mean to go that far and get angry.
Sakura opens one eye slowly and looks at Sasuke as she opens her other eye. She looks to find Sasuke smirking at her. 'Is he smiling at my joke or because he thinks I'm a Weirdo?' She asked her inner self in her head. There was a long pause before Inner Sakura replied.
INNER SAKURA: ' I THINK IT'S THE WEIRDO THING! YOU SEE, I KNOW YOU AND TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, YOU ARE A WEIRDO, I'VE TOLD YOU BEFORE!'. Her inner self answered with an evil grin on her face.
She was pulled out of her thoughts when a hand grabbed her arm and started to pull her along. She looked up the arm and up to the person's head to find a handsome young man, with the most gorgeous mysterious eyes. "Where are we going, Sasuke-kun?" She asked in a daze.
"We're going to go buy a ring." Sasuke said bluntly, still with a smirk on his face from the comedy he just saw a minute ago. Sakura didn't answer, she was too into her own thoughts about what sort of ring to get.
Shopping In The Village
Sakura and Sasuke were on their way to the next jewellers, they had three jewellers in the village and they had just spent 45 minutes in one shop looking for a ring. As they passed the busy villagers, they were having a conversation about rings. Well Sakura was talking about rings while Sasuke just kept silent.
"I'm sorry, Sasuke-kun but I didn't like that ring that you looked at, the diamond was too big for me." Sakura apologized. She felt very weird about this whole thing with Sasuke.
"This is really weird, look at him! I'm getting a conversation, time, and a ring from him. I've never seen Sasuke-kun like this. The way he talked to me before he asked me to marry him and now, he's like this, he's different around me. He must love me!" She thought as they finally reach the second jewellery store.
Sasuke entered the little shop and held the door open for Sakura, she thanked him by giving him a nod of her head, with her cheeks blushing. And walked up to the glass cabinets that were filled with different shapes, colours and sizes of rings, bracelets and necklaces.
The shop owner came up to them and asked if they needed any assistance but before Sakura could reply, the shop owner butted in. "Oh my dear, you look really red, is everything ok?" He asked with concern in his voice looking at Sakura with worry.
"I'm fine, I just feel really hot in here with all the lights." Sakura lied back as she looked at Sasuke with a weak smile. But when she turned around, the shopkeeper was gone and then he appeared from behind a curtained door, with a glass of water in his hand.
"Here you are, have a drink of cold water, that will help to cool you down." He passed the glass to Sakura, as she took it she blushed even more. She found it very embarrassing.
' Why am I embarrassed? Is it because Sasuke-kun is with me?' She thought as she took a sip of the water and placed it softly down on the glass show case table.
As she turned to say 'Thank you' to the shop owner, something caught her eye, something petite but still sparkly. It was the most beautiful ring that Sakura had ever seen! It was white gold with two little diamonds each side of a slightly larger emerald.
She gasped at the beauty of the ring as she ran over to have a closer look. She stared at it with her mouth open. The shop owner came up behind her, making her jump when he spoke "Do you like that one, Miss?" As he got some keys out his pocket and unlocked the glass cabinet.
"Yes" Sakura replied in a high-pitched voice as the owner carefully took the ring out of the display and placed it on blue mat, on the show case table. Sakura stood in front of the man, just dying to try the ring on as Sasuke walked up behind her to take a look.
Sakura placed the sparkly ring on her wedding finger but was disappointed to find it didn't fit. "Erm…do you have a smaller size?" She asked as she pretended to pray, hoping that the answer would be 'yes'.
"No sorry" The man apologized as he tilted his head to the side. Sakura had started praying for the word 'But' to come out of the shopkeeper's mouth. She waited for the word, but it never came so she gave up. She slowly lowered her head and left her arms to hang by her side.
"Thank you very much." Sakura said slowly walking out of the store to go to the next jewellers but she didn't want to go to another jewellers to find a ring, she wanted that one!
An hour later, Sasuke and Sakura were walking out of the third and last jewellers, with no ring. Sasuke impatiently walked ahead, they had been shopping for almost two hours now. Sakura walked slowly with a gloomy face when she saw something twinkle in her eye. She wiped her eyes but found no tears. She looked over.
In the window of the jewellers they had just come out of, was her ring that she saw in the second shop. She couldn't believe it, she had been in that shop for an hour and there it was, right in front of her, in the same shop window!
"SASUKE- KUN! SASUKE-KUN!" She screamed, jumping up and down like a little girl. Sasuke was way ahead of her but turned around at the high-pitched yell. That was it, Sasuke had had enough for today.
Sasuke stormed up to her, he was on fire now. "I've had it up to here Sakura! What is it now?" He said angrily as he waved his right arm in the air to show how much he was pissed off.
Sakura just ignored it and grabbed him by the arm, pulling him towards the window. Pointing to the ring, she excitedly said, "Sasuke-kun, this is the same ring! This is the one I want!"
Sasuke looked at Sakura's happy face in the reflection of the window. She was glowing, just like that time in the car after he had proposed. He gave a small faint smile before walking in to the store once more with Sakura skipping in behind him.
10 minutes later
" It fits!" Sakura cried as the ring on her finger dazed her. Her emerald eyes, sparkling more than ever.
" We'll take it" Sasuke said in a cool tone, leaning on the glass show case table, pleased that he could finally go home to relax for a little while before moving Sakura's things in.
"AW! Thank you so much Sasuke - Kun!" She yelled as she jumped on to him hugging him tightly. She had never been so excited in her life.
Sasuke winced in pain as she hugged him "Sakura, Get off" He said. Sakura took a step back letting go of him, when she heard agony in his voice.
Sasuke got down on his knees, holding his side in pain. Sakura knelt down beside him "Sasuke - Kun, what's wrong?" She asked in a panic.
Sasuke looked up at the shop assistants that were gathered around him. " It's nothing," He said as he gritted his teeth while trying to stand up with Sakura giving him support.
"What's wrong?" Sakura repeated as Sasuke let go of her arm.
Sasuke didn't reply, he reached for his wallet in his back pocket and walked up to the counter. "How much is it?" He asked in a cool tone as like nothing had happened. Sakura still thinking of what just happened.
"Miss, Would you like to wear your ring now or would you like it boxed?" One of the shop assistants asked while holding the ring with care.
Before Sakura could answer Sasuke answered for her "Wearing it " He said bluntly. While looking at the pile of ring boxes behind the counter as he could feel his eye twitch again at the thought of all the boxes back at Sakura's apartment, he looked away while handing his credit card to the man at the till.
Sakura giggled at Sasuke's twitching eye, trying to pretend like nothing happened, like Sasuke. ' I'll ask later' She thought.
"No, I'll wear it now thank you. We have enough boxes at home." She chuckled looking at Sasuke who was smirking at what she had just said as he signed his name at the bottom of the bill.
The assistant walked up to Sasuke and handed him the ring, he was confused for a minute before he realised what the shop assistant meant by giving the ring to him. He had to put the ring on Sakura's finger. Sasuke gave a small sigh before walking over to Sakura.
With no emotion on his face, he placed the sparkling ring on Sakura's wedding finger. Saying nothing he walked out of the shop. He may have no emotion on his face but he did in side, when he placed the ring on her finger, his heart was pounding. Like he was nervous. He thought about this as he walked with Sakura still at the door saying her thanks to the shop assistants.
'Why was I so nervous?' He asked his mind and then laughed at his thoughts in his head. 'HAHAHA, an Uchiha nervous? Me? Uchiha Sasuke?' He paused and thought about what he was thinking 'That's not good'. He was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard Sakura.
"Sasuke - Kun, Wait for me!" Sakura ran up to him as he stopped and faced her.
When she had caught up to him, they didn't speak as they walked through the busy street. Sakura looked back and forth from Sasuke to the ground. What had happened to him in the jewellers? Was he sick or injured? She could remember him grabbing his side and if it was an injury, then why had he not had it seen to by a medic? Should she ask him about it or not? Now or later?
As she walked next to Sasuke thinking of what to do, she slowly looked up at his blank face. 'Is he in pain now?' She looked at her ring and spoke. " Sasuke - Kun…?" She paused thinking of what words to use. "How was your last mission?" She asked slowly, trying to figure out what was wrong with him, without making him mad at her.
Sasuke looked at her out of the corner of his eye and looked back in front of him before answering, "It was ok" He said bluntly. He knew why she was asking him but he wasn't going to tell her, he wasn't going to tell anyone what had happened to him on his recent mission.
That was it! Sakura knew that he knew what she was trying to get at. Sakura decided to take the wild card and cut straight to the case. "Who injured you?" She asked quietly.
Sasuke stopped and gazed at her, Sakura gave him a warm smile and held his arm in her small hands. Sasuke jerked his arm to remove her hands and carried on walking. "I don't know what you're talking about!" He said, quickening his pace. This indicated that she was right.
Sakura ran up behind him and put her hand on his shoulder, making him stop. He turned towards her and stared at her with his cold onyx orbs. She stared back at him with her warm emerald orbs, melting the ice away from around his heart. She put her head up by his ear and whispered "Please Sasuke- Kun, Let me heal you".
With a tear trickling down her check she pulled her head away to look back in to his eyes. Sasuke was in pure agony now, with the pain from his side and his heart, it felt like he was dying. He had made her cry again, he had caused her pain. He placed his hand on Sakura's cheek using his thumb to wipe away her tears. "Ok" He said quietly to her.
Sakura took his hand in hers and started walking slowly towards her apartment. 'Thank you for opening up to me…Sasuke - Kun" She thought as a small sweet smile appeared on her face.
At Sakura's Apartment
Sakura lead Sasuke to her bedroom, he gazed around the pink and white room and laid down on the pink flowery bed. Sakura's room looked like a little girls room but without the toys. "Take your top off," She told him. Sakura never thought that she would ever say that to Sasuke.
He did what he was told and took off his top to reveal his toned body. Around his waist was a bandage that he had put on himself. You could see blood on the bandage where it had soaked through. Sakura slowly and carefully unwrapped the bandage from around his waist, with Sasuke gritting his teeth in pain.
When she came to the wound she very carefully took the bandage off the wound, blood poured out of the gash. "Oh, Sasuke-kun!" Sakura cried as she quickly made green chakra in her hand and placed it over the wound.
"Sasuke - Kun, Why didn't you get this wound seen to by a medic ninja?" Sakura asked, still trying to heal the wound. Sasuke didn't answer because he didn't know the answer himself. He didn't know why he didn't go to a medic, was it because he thought that if people knew that he was wounded, that they would think that he was weak. How could he have got wounded on such a simple mission? Sasuke thought about this for a while, he could remember his mind being somewhere else on the mission. He was thinking about Sakura.
Sakura had almost finished healing the wound as she felt eyes on her, black mysterious eyes. She looked up at Sasuke who was staring at her, he quickly looked away and then down to her hands healing his wound. Sakura looked down at the wound. He looked up at her again and then spoke "Arigato…Sakura." Then looking away again but this time at the photos in her room.
There was a photo of Sakura and her parents, Sasuke would say that the picture looked new. He would love to still have his parents. He could tell that Sakura got her looks from her mum, as he did from his mum.
"They're all done." Sakura said standing up and walked out the room. "Do you want a coffee?" She asked from the hallway while Sasuke put his shirt back on. There was no response for a moment.
"Ok" Sasuke replied reaching the kitchen, where Sakura was filling the kettle with water.
"Oh, Sasuke - Kun you scared me?" She yelped, jumping back a bit. Sakura didn't realise that Sasuke was behind her, by the doorway. Sasuke smirked at this as he leant on the door frame, with his arms crossed.
A FEW MINUTES HAD PASSED.
Sasuke sat at the kitchen table slowly drinking his cup of coffee, waiting for Sakura to come back from where ever she had gone. He waited with patience, looking at the decorated china in a big glass cabinet.
Sakura came in with a small smile on her face. "It's booked," She said as she sat down on a chair across from Sasuke. Sasuke looked at her with a little confusion.
"What's Booked?" He asked with curiosity in his voice, now looking at Sakura with a blank expression.
"I hired a moving van. They said that they would be here in about 30 minutes." Sakura replied, taking a sip of her warm coffee.
Sasuke being one of those people, who doesn't like help from anyone, bluntly said, "We don't need a moving van, we can do it ourselves."
Sakura looked at him a bit weirdly "But Sasuke-Kun, it would take all day if we did it." Sakura had a point and Sasuke decided to say nothing else about it.
Moving in to Sasuke's house.
Sakura had the help of three men, including Sasuke, to help her move the boxes out of the van and into Sasuke's house. The two hired men couldn't believe who had hired them. "Uchiha Sasuke has finally learned to love." The two men whispered about this for a minute before Sasuke came to collect more boxes.
Sasuke knew that they were talking about Sakura moving in to his and that the news would soon be over the village like a virus. He sighed picking up the last box while Sakura thanked the men and gave them the money that she owed them.
Sakura walked in behind Sasuke and closed the door quietly. She saw Sasuke about to take the box up stairs. "Sasuke-Kun!" He turned around at the call of his name as Sakura ran up to him and took the box out of his hands. "You should go rest, Sasuke-Kun".
Sasuke slowly walked up the stairs and Sakura heard his bedroom door shut. She was a little surprised that he listened to her and didn't argue with her that he was fine. "Very unlike him" Sakura whispered to herself before putting the box down in the lounge.
Sakura knocked on the door that she thought was Sasuke's bedroom with a tray in her hand with rice balls and a glass of water laid out on it. And waited for a response but heard none. She slowly opened the door and popped her head round the corner to find Sasuke laying in bed fast a sleep.
Sakura quietly walked in and closed the door behind her. Placing the tray down on the bedside table as she gently put her hand on his forehead to check his temperature, but all was fine.
Sakura leaned down to whisper in his ear to wake him up but he started stirring in his sleep. She waited in the chair at the end of his bed for him to wake but then she realised that Sasuke's forehead had become sweaty and that he was moving around more in his bed.
'Is he having a nightmare?' She thought as she waited just in case, and she lay back in the chair. Just waiting.
An hour had passed but for the last 30 minutes, Sakura had been dozing off but trying to stay awake for Sasuke. She quickly glanced over to see that Sasuke had stopped twisting and turning and that he wasn't sweating anymore. She moved a little to get comfortable and shut her eyes and fell into a deep sleep of her own.
