" Opening The Heart"
" You Are My New Neighbor?"
" Hello?"
" Hi is Deidara there?"
" Yeah this is he."
" Hey... it's that girl who was at your work place earlier... with the pink hair."
" Ah you mean that sexy girl I met earlier."
" Yeah..."
" What's your name anyway?"
" Sakura..."
" Hm... sexy girl with a sexy name."
Sakura Haruno heard a knock at her door and entered a nurse with a smile on her face. Sakura was happy that she was leaving the mental institution after living there for an entire year. She knew while she was away her mother had moved into her boyfriend's huge house and quited her job since he had enough money to take care of her.
Sakura's best friend, Temari would come to visit her often. She was the only one other than her mom and her boyfriend who knew where she actually was living at. Temari apparently had broken off with Shikamaru not soon after Sakura was admitted. Temari was sick and tired of waiting for him to choose Ino or her and after she had broken it off, she heard from one of her friends that he was seen with Ino and they hadn't talked since.
" Miss Haruno, your ride has arrive." The nurse said to the pink haired girl.
Sakura smiled at the nurse and went over to her bed and picked up her red bag that had her personal belongings in and walked over to the nurse.
" Thank you for letting me know. I'm ready." Sakura said as she followed the nurse out of the room.
As they were walking down the hallway, Sakura noticed the only friend she had made during her stay was standing near the water fountain. Sakura smiled and waved at him and ran up to him.
" Hi ugly, I'm actually going to miss your face around here." The patient said while giving her a fake smile.
" Thanks Sai, I'm going to miss you too, but don't worry! I will write often and you will get out of here in no time!" Sakura said as she embraced the boy in a hug.
The black haired boy she was hugging didn't respond to the hug but she figured that he wouldn't. He was admitted six months after she did, because his parents thought it was weird that he expressed no emotions what so ever and spend most of his time drawing. Sakura knew that he was going to miss her a lot, he did loose his virginity to her and ever since that day, he seemed to be coming out of his shell, one step at a time.
Sakura slowly moved her arms away from his body and took a step back to look at his face one last time. She will always remember him by his rude comments and his weird way of showing his feelings. She gave him another smile as he smiled back at her with the same fake smile as he always gave everyone.
" You know... next time I see you, I hope that you will be giving me a real smile instead of a fake one." Sakura said.
" I'll try my best ugly." Sai said then waved off at her while he walked back to his room.
Sakura then turned around to see the nurse who was waiting on her.
" Sorry." Sakura mumbled out as they continued to walk to the entrance of the building.
When they reached the entrance of the mental institute, Sakura was immediately greeted by her mother. They exchanged greetings and hugs then walked out of the building and got situated in the car before driving off. While they were driving, they chatted about how Sakura was doing among other things.
" So, are you excited to be seeing your new home?" Her mother asked as she continued to drive.
" I guess so. It will be better than where I was staying at. I am so sick of having plain white walls!" Sakura mentioned as she looked outside her window.
She was happy that she was able to go home.
" Now I have tomorrow already planned out for you. We are going to be having lunch with my high school friend and her son. It's actually pretty funny, when I moved into Asuma's house, my best friend in high school who I hadn't talked to in years was his next door neighbor. Isn't it a small world?" Her mother chirped happily.
" Yeah..." Sakura commented.
" Don't worry, her youngest son is about the same age as you and he also went to your old high school so you probably have a whole lot to talk to him about. Then later, we are inviting them over for dinner, kinda like a celebration between the families." Her mother said which caused the pink haired chick to roll her eyes.
" Sure." Sakura said.
Sasuke Uchiha heard his cell phone alarm go off and opened up his eyes to see that he was not in his room.
' Fuck!'Sasuke thought to himself.
He sat up on the bed and realized that he wasn't alone on the bed and saw a blond girl sleeping next to him. He slowly got out of the bed and put his clothes on and walked out of the door, not bothering to wake up the woman he had slept with the night before. After he had closed the door and began to walk away, he could hear the girl calling him but he ignored her and continued to leave the girl's apartment.
Sasuke was notorious of sleeping with a girl then leaving them the next day, pretending that what had occurred the night before never happened. He was like that a year ago and he was like it now. There was one person who he did have a one night stand with and couldn't help but think about and her name was Sakura.
" Sakura..." Sasuke whispered out as he got into his car and drove back to his house.
He didn't know why ever since she had disappeared from school, he had been missing her. Sure what they had done together was nothing like he had done to any other girl in his life, even the very few girl friends he had actually had. It didn't bother him at all that the fact it was only a one time deal but he thought he was going to continue to see her every day at school.
But when he showed up and a few weeks later she never showed up, he began to worry but he wasn't the one to ask people around to see what had happened to her. Shikamaru had fucked up his relationship with Temari and when he did have the chance to ask her what had happened to her best friend, she wouldn't say a word about it.
Sasuke let out a sigh and shook his head to get rid of those thoughts. He kept telling himself he was thinking of her only because she didn't try and get into his pants again.
He didn't even had a chance to say no even if he wanted to.
A few hours later, after Sakura got situated in her new home, she had called Temari up and Temari showed up at her house. Apparently Asuma had a late meeting from work and wouldn't be home until late tonight so Sakura's mother told her she should spend her evening with her best friend.
" Hey girl!" Temari said after Sakura had opened up the door and smiled at her friend.
" Hey yourself, I missed you so much!" Sakura said while giving her a friendly hug.
" I missed you too! Now come on! I got a surprise for you in the car." Temari said as she took her hand and left the house and got into the her car and drove off.
" Your present is in my glove copartment." Temari winked at her friend then Sakura leaned forward and opened it up to see a bottle of pills.
" You shouldn't have! I haven't had a bar in so long!" Sakura said as she unscrewed the bottle and popped a pill into her mouth like it was a piece of candy.
" Don't worry! You are going to have so much fun tonight! We are going to get so fucked up." Temari said, causing Sakura to smile.
The next morning, Sakura woke up with a huge hang over and climbed out of her bed with only her bra and panties on. She walked over to her closet and pulled out a long sleeve button up shirt and put it on, not bothering buttoning it since it was only her mom home. She decided to go downstairs to the kitchen and find something to eat.
When she entered the kitchen, she noticed a note on the fridge and walked over to take a glance at it. The note was from her mother.
Dear Sakura,
I hope you didn't stay up too late last night and I hope you enjoyed yourself and got to see some of your old friends. I went to go to the grocery store to get some food for tonight's dinner. Don't forget that we are having lunch with Mikoto and her son this afternoon so I hope you find something cute to wear. By the way did I mention that her son is VERY cute and single?
Love,
Mom
' Very cute and single huh?' Sakura thought to herself as she threw away the note in the trash can and opened up the fridge to see what she could eat.
Sasuke was sleeping peacefully, in his own room, on his own bed, the way he likes it.
Knock knock
" Sasuke! Wake up! I need you to do me a favor!" He could hear his mother yell out from the other side of his door.
" Go away!" Sasuke growled out as he placed his pillow over his head, trying to get a few more moments of his sleep. He was having such a nice dream too.
" Now Sasuke! That is no way to talk to your mother!"
" Fine." Sasuke said grouchy as he got out of his bed, wearing only his boxer and walked over to his door and opened it up for his mother.
" Now that is much better! Can you do me a favor and go next store and return this blender to them, I had to borrow it last night to make margaritas and I'm sure they would like it back." His mother said happily as he pushed the blender into the boy's arms.
" Why do I have to do it?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow at his mother.
" Please Sasuke?" His mother said and watched her son let out a deep sigh.
" Fine." Sasuke mumbled out as he closed his door and went to change his clothes.
When Sasuke got done with getting ready, he went down stairs to greet his mother once more who seemed to be like she was waiting for him.
" Now, don't forget, we are having lunch with them in about an hour so after you return them their blender, don't go disappearing on me." His mother said with a smile on her face.
" Lunch? I don't remember agreeing to this." Sasuke said with a frown on his face.
" Oh well I thought I told you about it. Anyways we are having lunch with Miss Haruno and her daughter because her daughter just moved in and she might need a friend. Then tonight we are having dinner at their house so don't forget."
" Whatever, why can't you just give her the blender when we meet up with them?" Sasuke asked with annoyance. He was missing his sleep already.
" Because... I said so! Besides, I hear that her daughter is very cute and single." His mother said.
' Cute and single? Eh I guess I could bang her.'Sasuke thought with a smirk on his face as he walked out the door with the blender in his hand.
Sasuke then walked over to the next door and before he began to knock on the door, he could hear the music of MSI playing from inside the house.
' Hn... who ever this girl is, she has great taste in music, I think I like her already.' Sasuke still had his smirk on his face and began to knock on the door.
After a few moments had passed, he could hear the music being turned off and the door slowly opened, revealing the pink haired girl who had plague his mind for the past year. Wearing only a red bra and undies and a white long sleeve unbutton shirt.
" Sakura..." Sasuke slipped her name out of his mouth, shocked to see her right in front of him, even more with her with barely any clothes on.
Sakura who was still completely hung over raised an eyebrow at him
" Um... hi?"
" You don't remember who I am... do you." Sasuke stated after he caught a glimpse of her expression.
Sakura stood there for a minute, trying to figure out where he had seemed familiar.
" Oh!" Sakura began with a smile on her face.
" Did I meet you last night at that party? That has got to be it and you thought that I was so cute, you decided to surprise me at my doorstep with... a blender? I have to say, that is original." Sakura said with the smile still plastered on her face.
" No... I'm Sasuke Uchiha, we went to school together." Sasuke growled out with annoyance.
' Also the last time we saw each other, I banged the shit out of you.' Sasuke thought to himself with disappointment that she didn't remember him.
After he said his last statement, he could see Sakura's eyes began to widen.
" S-Sasuke! Oh my God I am so sorry I didn't recognize you! I have a really bad hang over and I can't think straight at the moment." Sakura said with embarrassment as she scratched the back of her head with her nails.
" Hn." Sasuke responded.
" Well anyways, what are you doing here?" Sakura asked him.
" I live next door and my mom wanted me to drop your mother's blender off." Sasuke grunted as he handed her over the blender.
" Thank you Sasuke!" Sakura said then there was a moment of awkward silence, neither of them had no idea what to say to each other.
" So Sakura." Sasuke began to start up a conversation, something that he rarely did.
" Yes Sasuke?" Sakura asked him.
" Where have you been?" Sasuke questioned her and it looked like she was about to answer then the both heard a car pulling up in the driveway and they turned their heads to see Asuma getting out of the car.
" Hey Sasuke!" Asuma greeted the younger Uchiha.
" Hn." Sasuke responded then Asuma turned to look at his girlfriend's daughter.
" Sakura... shouldn't you put some clothes on? I'm sure Sasuke doesn't want to see you in your underwear." Asuma stated as he walked passed her and went into the house.
' What he doesn't know is that I know how she looks without her underwear on.'Sasuke smirked to himself as the two teens slightly blushed.
" Well I guess I should go put some clothes on...that perv." Sakura said causing her to giggle while Sasuke smiled at her.
" I should get going too, I guess I'll see you for lunch." Sasuke said then gave her a wink before turning around and started to walk back to his house, leaving Sakura at the front door.
Sakura then let out a deep sigh and went inside and closed the door behind her. She wasn't expecting to see the guy who she had thought about the whole year while she was gone. She was also not expecting him to be her new next door neighbor.
With my feet upon the ground I lose myself between the sounds and open wide to suck it in, I feel it move across my skin.
There is the an actual chapter since I am not sure if prologe counts or not? I'm not used to doing one. Anyways the quote at the end is from Tool, "Lateralus". Amazing song, I think the lyric kinda hints why Sakura went away but at the same time I don't know, anyways later! Thanks to Rockinyoyo and xEMOtIoNaLLyCOnSTipaTEDx for the reviews!!
