Chapter 12- Forgive Me

Recap: "Save Me!" Sakura's heart screamed. She saw the man that she never wanted to see again

Sasuke watched as his cherry blossom falling to the floor. He shot up with amazing speed. He caught her at the last moment. Sasuke loved the feeling of her in his arms. He loved everything about her. She was his everything. Is his everything. He scooped her up, and laid her onto his hospital bed. He was expecting any reaction but this one. He would wait, like he did for the month she got back. He needed to explain. She needed to hear it. Needs to hear it. If she wants to move on alone, well, he won't let her. She was his. His everything. His obsession. His one and only true love.

Sakura's eyes shuttered. She knew she wasn't home, or alone for that matter. She could feel him. Sense him. Smell him. She could feel him staring. He was everything to her. The one man that broken her. The one man she doesn't want to see. Couldn't see more like it. She spent the last month rebuilding all her defenses. All her walls. Just looking at him, just a glace, and she got her heart back again. She felt someone touching her. Tucking her lose strands of hair behind her ear. She knew who. Her skin was on fire, tingling core. Teasing her. Making her want him.

"Sasuke. Stop touching me," demanded Sakura. She wanted him to stop. She didn't know much longer she could resist him. He was her weakness and her strength. Sakura could feel her cold heart warming up to his touches. She would not be crushed again, to have nobody to save her.

"Sakura," stated Sasuke. Sasuke tilted her head to have full eye contact. He knew that she didn't want to hear, but he will make her listen. No matter what. He would make her listen. "I want you to listen to me. No interrupting. Understand?" asked Sasuke.

Sakura nodded her head; she got a little dizzy from the motion. She would listen. She couldn't refuse him. She couldn't say no while looking into his eyes. She knew how he felt about her. She knew. It brought fire to her icy heart. She would not and could not fall apart now.

"Sakura, who let you go that night?" asked Sasuke. He had an inkling of what Karin had done. Hell, she probably got the idea from him.

"You," Sakura simply stated. She didn't want to look at him. She didn't want him to be here. In front of her. She closed her eyes hard enough, he would be a dream. A very handsome, perfect dream.

Sasuke sighed. He didn't know how to explain to Sakura without giving her the wrong idea. He tried anyways,

"It wasn't me," said Sasuke. He saw her eyes squint, and he knew that Sakura didn't believe him.

"You don't have to lie to spare my feelings Sasuke," stated Sakura. Oh she was done with his shit. She was done. She yanked her chin out of his grasp. Sakura flipped off the covers. She couldn't help but to notice how the sheets even smelled like him. There was no escaping him, but she sure as hell to put up one hell of a fight.

At this point, Sasuke was fuming. His ridiculous woman was being bullheaded. He got sick of it. He grabbed pinning her down to the hospital bed. Oh, he was mad. He would make his woman listen.

"SAKURA! Listen to me, you stubborn ass woman!" bellowed Sasuke. His hands pinning her arms above her head. He shoved his hips between her legs. He wasn't in the mood to get kneed in the balls.

"Stubborn! Who the hell gives you the right to call me…," yelled Sakura. Sasuke was frustrated. He did the only thing that would quiet her, and would shock her.

Sasuke kissed her lovingly.

With Sasuke's kiss. Sakura's heart was free. All the coldness, the frigidness left her. Sakura smiled at Sasuke. Her smile was like the sun. In turn made Sasuke smiled. He loves her, and she knew it. With one kiss between them, the past was put behind them. They were met to be together.

"Sakura, I have something for you," said Sasuke. He was nervous. Maybe it was too soon to do this, but he had to. He had a feeling in his heart to do it.

Sakura watched Sasuke pull out a small box. Her heart started to pound. Her eyes followed him, and the box in his hands.

"Sakura, I love you. What happened that night was a team mate acting as me. She wanted you to go. I threaten her. She didn't listen," explained Sasuke. He knew that he was rambling. "Forget it; what I want to say is…

Sasuke went on one knee "Sakura, I love you. I will love you forever. I just don't want one month with you. I want a whole life offer. Will you be my wife?" asked Sasuke. He opened the box, to reveal his ring. God, he was nervous and eager. He was also confident. She loved him. Adored him since she was a child. He knew her answer, but he still wanted to her say it.

Sakura couldn't shake the surprise. Though the box and one knee was a huge hint of what he was planning. He was waiting for her to answer. The man she has been in love with for fifteen years. This was her dream come true.

"Yes!" shouted Sakura. Sasuke smiled gloriously. He slipped the ring on her left ring finger. He picked her up and spun her around. The love birds were finally together. Finally happy.

"Would Doctor Haruno come to the Head Office?" bellowed the intercom system.

Sakura sighed. She didn't want to let him. As Sasuke could read her thought he said

"Go, Sakura. We have the rest of forever for us," smiled Sasuke. He didn't want her to leave, but people need her.

Sakura kissed Sasuke goodbye, and stalked out room; closing the door behind her. She ran to her office. Wondering what the huge problem was. Sakura walked into her office. Neji and Tsunade furiously talking.

"Sakura, Neji has a question for you, though it's not actually a question," Tsunade said angrily. Whatever it was, it had Tsunade pissed. If Tsunade was pissed, it wasn't good news for Sakura.

She looked at both of their faces. She looked at Tsunade first. She was angry. Even angry, Tsunade took a swig of sake out of the bottle. Tsunade never did that. Something was wrong.

Neji looked bland as usual. Never gave anything away.

"Fucking human popsicle. Oh, yeah, she still hated him," thought Sakura. Just seeing his nasty face put a sink in her stomach. She wasn't looking forward to this.

"What's wrong?" asked Sakura. She knew that question would get Tsunade to talk.

"Sakura, if this was my choice; then you wouldn't be in this situation. I was order from the town's elders to cancel your mission, and to…," stumbled Tsunade. Sakura knew this wouldn't be good.

"And to what Tsunade?" asked Sakura.

"Sakura, the town elders order us to marry," said Neji. Sakura wasn't home. She wanted to run away, and drag Sasuke with her. This was unfair. She was pissed!

"WHAT?" screamed Sakura. She so wasn't going to have this.

"Over my dead body!" thought Sakura.
