Chapter 11:
Sakura opened her sleepy eyes.
"Sasuke… Come here and lay down with me…"
Sasuke suddenly appeared in front of her, a few inches from her face:
"I'm not Sasuke" he said.
Sakura let a little scream come out as she realized she woke up at Sai's flat. The bad memories started to come in flashbacks… She couldn't believe what was happening to her. She was so happy and then… That was always the way things happened for her. Her happiness always at some point is taken.
She sat on the bad with a sad look on her emerald eyes. Tears were starting to fall. Sai just looked at her. Yes, that was what feelings did at people, that was what Danzou-sama talked about, but when happiness comes it's all worthy. At least that was his thoughts.
"Want something to eat Sakura?"
"No thanks…"
"Want another hug? I learnt in a book that people enjoy being hugged. Makes them feel better, that they have someone to count on… Can I try to make you feel better?" Sai hesitated. Sometimes books weren't so right about things and that seemed a sensible matter so he wasn't so sure of his words.
"Oh Sai!" Sakura really needed someone to relieve her. She started to cry on his shoulders. Sai just hang on for her. That was important for her than also was for him.
"What happened?" Sai asked. He hadn't asked yet. He let her have some time to calm down and fix things on her mind.
"It's Sasuke. I -- I… I just found him in his room with another girl, I've never seen her in Konoha also… And then that guy… I don't know how I couldn't defend myself… So bad things happening at the same time… I don't know Sai!" she was now crying silently. She relaxed a bit and continued. "I trusted him... And he betrayed me right after... I should have known Sasuke wouldn't change… He doesn't love anyone… He's just…" Sakura's voice was failing… Those words that came from her hurted more and more as she was starting to accept them.
Sai fondled her hair and she hugged him more tightly.
"Sai, you wouldn't betray someone, would you? Can I trust you as my best friend?"
"Sakura, I would never do something like this to you… or any other girl. So I guess you can trust me. Don't cry anymore. I don't like it. You're more beautiful smiling. Sasuke doesn't deserve those tears, agree with me?" Sai smiled at her.
She smiled back.
"Thanks. Yeah, Sasuke is a dumbass…" she let a small laugh come from her lips.
Sai lift her head with his fingers and wiped out the new tears. Sakura's heart beat faster when she looked into his eyes.
"I like you better this way." he told her.
"Now shouldn't you be going home?"
"Yeah, you're right…" Sakura didn't want to release him, but she did as she also felt guilty for now being in the arms of another boy even if it was one her best friends.
"I'll walk you home"
"Okay"
The night before…
"Sakura!... Karin let me go!" Sasuke felt guilty by feeling the pleasure Karin was giving him as he didn't want to feel that way. His body betrayed him.
The both came and Karin fell on top of Sasuke.
He didn't have his total strength back yet but he gets to move her from top of him. The both laid side to side as both felt tired and not wanting to, they slept right there.
After some hours Karin lifted up. She tied Sasuke to his bed, she couldn't predict when he would gain his strength back. He woke up.
"Was fun being watched by your girlfriend? You enjoyed un?" she whispered and started to slap him on his face over and over till she wanted to stop.
Sasuke's face was all red, but he just stood there cold to her. He was not going to respond her offences because that was what she wanted, he knew that all she wanted to see was he being hurted and protest as she would just something to hurt him more. In the other hand, the truth was that he was already in a painful state.
Haruno Sakura. Yeah, he knew she would not listen to him, she would thought he was making up stuff for her to get back to him. She saw him there, having sex with Karin while doing nothing to stop her. Of course she wouldn't believe he was drugged. Sasuke had Sharingan, strength, some of Orochimaru's power… and he would fell for that one so easily? She wouldn't think so.
But Sasuke fell, just for one reason. Love. When he saw Sakura in front of him, he could not hesitate. He senses failed always around her. That time when Karin appeared looking like Sakura wasn't different. Now he felt stupid because he didn't discover the fake Sakura. He could have discovered by sensing her chakra, but he just let his mind flew way with the image beneath his eyes.
Karin looked at him with disdain. She calmly took a bath and dressed up as Sasuke laid still on the bed. She evaluated the bruises she made on his face.
"Yeah, I guess you got the point Uchiha Sasuke."
She stirred looking at the window.
"What a beautiful sun is going to rise soon…" she said smirking. "What are you going to do after I'm gone? I don't think your girlfriend will want to see you… and you have terrible bruises on your face. Poor, poor Sasuke…"
He stood there calm.
"I guess you are still cold as you always were un? Well, it doesn't matter. I got what I wanted so I'm leaving Uchiha. And somebody is coming…". Then she disappeared in the wind.
Someone knocked at the door and getting no answer entered calling for Sasuke. Sasuke noticed he knew that cheerful voice; it was Naruto's that soon entered the room.
"Sasuke! Nani-nani? Who tied you?" then a smirk came into his face. "Hum, Sakura is tough un?" he started to laugh but Sasuke cut him.
"No."
Naruto was confused.
"Untie me dobe." Naruto did so and Sasuke sighed in relief, finally he could rest his arms and legs on his bed.
Naruto finally spoke "What happened then?" he sat on the bed waiting for Sasuke to answer, and when he did his eyes opened wide. "Sasuke…! Man you are in trouble. I don't think Sakura-chan will believe you since she won't even want to hear you…"
"I know…"
"Do you continue dizzy?"
"Yeah, kind of dizzy…I guess I have my strength back, but not the balance…"
"I'll help you hurry here. The faster you talk to Sakura to fix things the better."
"Thanks dobe."
Sasuke went to Sakura's house but when he got near his heart squeezed.
"I guess you're delivered" he smiled.
They gave a hug goodbye. Their heads became closer. The things got more intense as they could feel each other breathe slightly on their lips.
Their lips almost touched. Almost. They broke apart.
Sasuke couldn't help feeling anger in him; but he had to suppress that feeling. Now it was more important to fix things.
Sai left and Sasuke entered in scene.
"Sakura."
Her heart fell to the ground by hearing a familiar voice.
"I don't have anything to say to you." she replied in a voice that didn't seem hers.
"Stay. I'd never do what you saw to you. Let me explain."
"Fine."
They walked into the forest as Sasuke hold her hand and told her everything.
She didn't seem so sure about his words.
"I don't know Sasuke…" she took her hands off his.
He approached her head to his with his hands and looked deeply into her eyes.
"Sakura I've already told you. I'm yours. Are you still mine?"
Sakura gasped. She couldn't resist being away of Sasuke, she really loved him and couldn't stand being without him. Now that she had what she wanted would she waste it? If she loved him she had to believe him wasn't that so?
"Yes…" she released her answer not being yet too sure, as that came with a bit of pressure.
Sasuke gave her a passionate kiss. He hold her tight, he now wouldn't let her leave his arms.
Well and it ends here Chapter 11.
Yeah, Sakura forgave Sasuke. Really there were nothing to forgive, Karin that made all the stuff happen, so Sasuke was free from charges...
and about Sai, yeah Sakura is kind of confused about him but she just shakes those thoughts away...
