Betrayed
''Sakura…''
She looked at him in disbelief, emerald eyes clashing with onyx ones. He seemed calm as always and his basic features had remained the same only that he had become more handsome, more manly but he still kept that feminine essence of his, somehow.
Her jaw dropped slightly, and she remained speechless, her heart beating a million times per second.
''Sasuke…?'' his name came out of her mouth before she could reorganize her mind and regain her composure. She noticed his eyes widening slightly to the mention of his name but he seemed pretty emotionless, otherwise.
'' Haven't seen you in like forever…'' Sasuke said, with a small sigh.
Sakura nodded, feeling all the more uneasy by the unpleasant feeling inside her.
Obviously, it is no good for me to be around him. All this time and he is still to get out of my mind.
''If you excuse me now, I have to go.'' She said, her eyes wandering around as she waited for him to make her room.
Instead, he kept stable in his spot, looking at her intensely.
She has grown pretty. He thought as he examined her closely now.
''You still hate me, don't you?'' he asked, but it was more of a bitter statement, rather than a flat out question.
Sakura felt a flame taking over her eyes, as that phrase upset her.
How dare you assuming anything about me.
''Hate you? Pffft, Sasuke, we're not kids anymore. There is nothing really to hate you for. My past doesn't affect me anymore. And you belong in it. See ya.'' She said irritated as she tried to make her way around Sasuke.
Before she knew it, she felt a hand grabbing her arm and him pulling her back in the room.
He closed the door and pushed her against it softly, while he put each of his hands to rest on it to each side of her, so that she was trapped in between them.
Sakura eyed him annoyed, her heart racing faster than ever, since he was too close for comfort. He wasnt touching her but it was a rather prominent position.
''If you dont hate me , then why do you wish to run away from me? All I need is to talk with you only for a minute… Please?'' he said in a soft calm tone as he looked at her pleadingly.
Sakura put a hand on his chest and pushed him softly but he remained unaffected.
''Who is running away from you? I just want to go back to my seat. What will people think if they see us together in here? Huh?'' she asked, blushing in the same time in the thought of it. She could actually care less for the people but she needed to find a good excuse as she didnt want him to think he really affected her all that much.
''I don't care what they will think. You are more important to me than them.'' He said looking momentarily away as a blush made its way to his pale cheeks.
As tears threatened her eyes, she quickly put all her strength and managed to push him away, freeing herself.
''Always the same old play boy, Uchiha. I see you haven't changed much.'' She said, her voice acquiring a broken tone she didnt manage to hide behind the cold one she wished she had.
''No,…it's not like that.'' Sasuke was apparently in a loss of words but the pinkette didnt have any more patience in her so she rolled her eyes on him and opened the door.
Just when she was about to get out, she felt a hand connecting to her arm once more as he dragged her back inside.
Upon facing him, he said:
''It is so obvious that I can still affect you.'' He said with a cocky attitude that reminded her of the old Sasuke she had so painfully fallen in love with.
This time she didnt wait that much before she reacted, unleashing all her supressed furry and bitterness on his cheek.
Slap!
Sasuke closed his eyes as his skin throbbed in pain and became red to the spot she had hit him.
Upon opening his eyes fast though, he noticed a painful grimace on Sakura's face.
The girl began leaning forwards, hugging herself in agony. He looked at her worried, placing a hand on her shoulder.
''Are you ok?'' he asked, feeling his heart racing in fear.
''I…no…''Sakura managed to say behind clenched teeth as she had to lean her head on his shoulder to keep herself up.
Realizing her fragile situation, Sasuke caught softly her hand in his and led her tenderly to a nearby chair where he had her sit.
Sakura was still silent, touching herself in pain and her face was always getting transformed from new expressions of pain each passing second.
Sasuke leaned over her and rubbed her shoulder softly , freaking out secretly .
''Want me to call a doctor? There should be someone in the plane.'' He said, worry obvious in his voice.
Sakura struggled to speak but finally she made it.
''No…thanks…just dont say anything, dont speak…please.'''she said as she felt tears threatening her eyes, but this time it was from the pain. It was the same pain she had felt at the show only that this one was more intense if that could be and as much as that scared her, she needed to regain her focus to get out of this sane.
Sasuke looked at her ready to talk again, but seeing her hurting view emanating such a desperate aura, he chose to stay silent as she had told him to.
Feeling awkward in the weird situation, he waited patiently for her to ask for help or say something that would give him a way to help her. But she never did, not even after 2 minutes had passed and she was clutching her chest.
His eyes widening in fear, he turned around and headed for the door.
''Stay here. I am going to find you a doctor.'' He said, his heart racing like a broken clock and false reassurement lingering in his voice.
Right when he was about to abandon the room, he felt someone tugging his sleeve.
Turning around, he saw a calm Sakura looking in his eyes pleadingly.
''I am fine, now. It is over.'' She said, a half weak smile gracing her pink lips.
Sasuke looked at her in disbelief and suppressed the urge to hug her.
Instead, he regained his composure slowly and stared at her.
''Are you sure?'' he asked, still surprised by her fast recovery.
''Yeah, it happens sometimes. Then it goes as fast as it came. It is no big deal actually.'' She said, trying to sound convincing and laid back.
Sasuke eyed her suspiciously.
''I think you should get yourself checked by a doctor.'' He said, moving slightly away so she could walk past him.
''Actually, that is why I am going back to Konoha.'' She said as she made her way out of the room, hoping she wouldn't feel again that terrible pain anytime soon.
Sasuke looked at her retreating back silent. But before he had time to phrase something back, Sakura turned to look at him, her eyes shining with melancholy.
He walked towards her, looking at her softly.
After the brief episode, Sakura felt her heart warming up and being the naive girl she always was , she thought she would let him in again, just this once.
''Sasuke,…I…missed you.'' She said with a sigh, leaning her head downwards so that she didnt have to look into his eyes.
Feeling his heart racing in joy at her words, he closed the distance separating them and stroke the locks of hair hanging on the side of her head, hesitantly.
''It's good to see you again.'' He whispered huskily. Sakura felt her eyes watering in the heat of the moment and raised her face to look into his eyes and take in his expression.
Sasuke looked back at her calmly, enjoying this moment of both emotional and physical proximity after a long time.
Just being close to her was all he needed.
They stayed silent for some moments, his hand resting softly on her shoulder, under her locks, her hand resting on her chest in an awkward motion, looking into each other eyes.
Their glances said more than their words ever could and they both seemed to embrace their silent communication.
Suddenly, their moment was interrupted, when a whiny high pitched voice broke the silence, entering in the scene in furry.
Nao
''Sasuke, who is this girl?'' Nao demanded irritated as she walked over to Sasuke and pushed his hand down from Sakura's shoulder.
Sakura eyed her as angered, wondering the same thing.
''Sasuke, who is she?'' she asked almost one second after Nao had phrased her question rudely out loud.
Sasuke shrugged feeling in the middle of an up coming storm.
Realizing the tough of the situation he was in, he dreaded the moment that he would have to tell Sakura the truth, that he was engaged to Nao cause that would mean any closeness he had regained with Sakura in those brief moments would be torn to pieces.
'' I am his fiancé.'' Nao declared cockily, passing an arm around Sasuke's neck.
Sakura looked at her with eyes widened of hurt and disbelief, feeling her legs shaking in the sudden news.
'''…And his future wife to be, of course.'' She said, clinging closer to Sasuke that eyed both of them in silence, blanked out.
If the first hadnt done its job, the later surely had as Sakura felt her heart breaking into a million pieces and the previous proximity she had regained with the Uchiha becoming a galaxial distance once more. Heck, she even felt worse than before right now.
The black haired girl, not giving Sakura the time to recover, unknowingly, resumed her attack.
''Now, who the damn are you?'' she asked, her eyes two burning holes of hell as she glared at Sakura in great hostility.
Sakura's eyes had watered and tears were to fall down any moment soon.
She felt Sasuke's eyes on her, but she avoided looking at him, dreading to see the confirmation of Nao's words in his eyes.
Still not recovered from the initial shock, she felt her lips trembling as she looked up at Nao, in the same amount of hostility as her rival.
Then, her hurt blurry gaze shifted momentarily to Sasuke.
''I am no one important. '' she whispered bitterly, in fears that if she talked louder, they would be able to distinguish her broken tone. And that was something Sasuke didnt deserve to take pride in.
She felt Sasuke staring at her intensely as if he wanted to say something that he didn't dare to.
Shaking her head in disappointment, she turned around and started walking away from the couple in a fast upset pace.
Oh how much did she want to scream at Sasuke how much she hated him. The desire was burning holes in her chest, begging for her to release her deadly poison of pain and bitterness to free herself from her infernal suffering.
All those years and I thought you'd have forgotten him. Why do you take this so badly? What? Don't tell me you expected a jerk of his kind to wait for you? You know you had swore to never go back to him. You knew this would happen sooner or later. So, snap out of it, girl! We have enough problems as it is! The inner Sakura pierced her brains with her high pitched voice.
Heck, you're right. He is a jerk. How could he? She thought in response, absorbed in her sad depressed thoughts.
Wha-? Hey! That's not what I was saying! Come on, Sakura. You know you're better than this. Don't let him get the best out of you again! Inner Sakura screamed in her mind.
Shut up, damn it! Sakura was too emotionally overwrought to try and push some reason in her thick skull.
Broken as ever, she made her way back to her seat, as a smiling Dai welcomed her.
''Hey, hey! You were taking so long, I was worried. But I felt it wouldn't be very apropriate to follow you so I…''
''I am feeling terribly.'' Sakura whispered exhausted as she laid her head back on her chair and closed her eyes, tears streaming down. Despite all of her efforts, she discovered that sadly Sasuke still affected her , he still had that power over her.
Who was that girl? And what was she doing with him? She stole him from me. This is so terrible.
God, just what is wrong with you, girl? She didn't steal anything from you. You guys were over since long ago! Stop caring so much.
Still! We used to have something. And she came in the between! Oh how much I hate her now.
Sakura, are you insane girl? I just said you guys were done and over some good years ago. Have you forgotten or want me to remind you?
I still love him, damn it! There, that's why! Are you satisfied now?
Feeling her inner Sakura silencing at this, she snapped out of her delusions when Dai's voice pierced her ears.
''Hey, why are you crying? What happened?'' he asked her, looking at her sympathetically.
She reopened her eyes and turned her face to look at him.
She smiled weakly.
''Do you have a tissue?'' she asked.
''Sure.'' The blonde guy said as he dag his hands into a small travelling bad and got one out.
''Here...''he said handing it out to her.
Sakura took it and wiped away her tears, then blew her nose rather funnily.
I hate him.
Dai looked at her curious. Seeing as she didnt plan to talk any time soon, he relaxed back on his chair, eyes still on her.
''Well, if you want to talk, I am here…like literally here…''he said chuckling awkwardly.
Sakura turned to look at him and smiled a fake weak smile in response.
Then she turned in front of her and laid her head back, tearing apart the tissue in her hands.
Maybe taking a nap right now would be a good idea. It would surely keep her from going back to that bitch and tear her hair off.
Oh…and killing a certain raven haired boy as she made her way out of the vicious scene.
''Sasuke, who the damn was that girl? Tell me now! I woke up to find you missing and poor me was so worried that I came to see what was wrong and instead I found you touching a girl with aweful pink hair and a huge forehead! Tell me who is she?!'' Nao demanded as she stood opposite from her fiancé and spared him her deadliest glare.
''Nao, will you stop making scenes? Please, I am tired.'' He said , brushing her hysterical crisis away as he made an effort to walk past her.
''Stand where you are, Uchiha! I said who is she?'' the girl yelled once more, as she put a hand on Sasuke's chest, making it clear it was her way or the highway.
''God…she is just a friend from the past. Why does it matter so much to you? It was just a random encounter, that is all.'' Sasuke said, even if he knew deep down that most of this was bullshit.
''You'd better not be doing anything with her or you will have a hard time, mister. I am warning you.'' Nao said, deciding she wasn't in the mood for a scene right now, either, as she felt her stomach complaining due to the lack of food.
Heh, like I am not having one now. He thought sarcastically as he followed after Nao back at their seats.
As a waitress was taking Nao's order, he sat back blankly, the memory of a tearful Sakura running away from them still haunting his mind. He craved to run after her and drag her in his arms, tell her the truth about Nao and that he didnt mean to hurt her.
And even if the situation he was in seemed quite hopeless as it was, he couldn't help but find a bit of relief in the fact that he still could affect Sakura in the way he did. Her reaction was more than revealing. But did that mean she still had feelings for him? Or did he just hope she had?
Looking to the window, he noticed that the sky had got cloudy. He closed his eyes, sighing in tiredom. He felt the stress consuming him. Maybe a nap would be a good idea.
R&R?
Thanks.
:D
