Chapter 2 – Uchiha
Ceres froze in shock as she recognized the voice. She turned around and found herself looking into a pair of onyx eyes.
A teenager with slightly spiky raven black hair wearing a sleeveless turtleneck and jeans lounged in the doorway.
"Sasuke-kun!!!"cried Sakura and blushed a little.
Ceres on the other hand stood and clenched her fist. Turning around slowly, she said coldly and menacingly.
"Uchiha….you dare to show your face?...after what you have done….DAMN YOU!!!!!"
Without warning, Ceres let loose a blast of energy. Taken by surprise and with no time to defend himself, Sasuke found himself thrown against the wall of the hallway.
"SASUKE-KUN!!!!!"cried Sakura in alarm.
Turning towards Ceres, Sakura cried out.
"Ceres!!!!! What the hell is your problem!!!!! He didn't even do anything to you!!!!"
"Urusai!!!!!You're not involved in this so back off!!!!"
Sakura stared at Ceres with wide eyes as Sasuke slowly peeled himself off the wall wincing slightly.
"Hunh….i see you still have your fairy power, Mikage"
Sneered slightly he took a battle stance. He launched himself forward only to find himself falling face first to the floor. Managing to cushion himself with his hands, he looked up and spat.
"Damn you,Mikage……"
"Hah…to think the great Uchiha could actually fall face first to the floor like a clown!"
Ceres smirked, casually drawing back her fairy power which she had transformed into threadlike piece of material. It had wound itself around Sasuke's feet without him realizing it. Scowling, Sasuke let loose a barrage of unsightly words that might have made even the devil cringe.
"*&^%$#!"(Sakura covered Miaka's ears at this point wincing slightly)
"My, my, your mouth could do with a bit washing don't you think?"
Ceres coolly waved her hands. A blast of power shot out at Sasuke aimed at his face…..only it never got there. Without warning, Ceres found herself pinned to the wall by a dozen kunais.
"Hn….Your skills have improved slightly I see,"
Sasuke, who held a kunai to her throat smirked.
"What do you expect, Mikage? That I would be defeated by a mere female? Hah!!!"
"Tsk….what impatience," Ceres continued without even flinching at the kunai held at her throat.
"You didn't allow me to complete my sentence, Uchiha….your skills have improved…slightly though….but so have mine,"
Without waiting for him to register what had been said, she unleashed her power and when Sasuke had regained his balance and sight, he found himself shirtless.
(Sakura had a nosebleed and Miaka fainted)
"Hunh….so you mean to tell me you've improved in undressing men?"Sasuke questioned sarcastically.
"……."
Without any emotion, Ceres unleashed a powerful blast of energy. Seeing Sasuke shirtless had invoked long ago memories….memories she did not want to remember.
Dodging the blast with ease Sasuke cornered Ceres and she found herself trapped in between Sasuke and the wall.
"Ge…get away from me!!!Hentai!!!!!Jerk!!!!You freaking perverted idiot!!!"
Capturing her chin with his thumb and index finger, Sasuke leaned over and smirked.
"Why….correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe the all-powerful celestial assassin is actually blushing…"
"Let go!!!!"
Ceres lashed out blindly. Sasuke caught her hands and managed to pin her legs firmly. He looked at her face and his eyes widened in surprise and shock as he saw her eyes brimming with tears.
"…,"
"Huh? What!?"he asked cautiously.
"Why….Why do you always….have to do this….to me….DAMN YOU!!!!!"
Sasuke found himself thrown backwards to the wall.
"Oowww….dammit…that hurt….what do you th…"
Sasuke stopped mid-sentence as he saw Ceres' face. Tears were streaming down her face. Turning around abruptly, Ceres wiped her eyes and spoke harshly to Sakura.
"Sakura-chan, please….inform Kakashi-sensei of my return and tell him that I will be going to give my report to Tsunade , and send Miaka to the infirmary."
"C-Ceres-neisan…..wh..where are you going!?"
"…….somewhere where I can be alone in peace without having to face…….ancient memories……"
Sasuke's head snapped up and he looked at Ceres sharply…..or at least he tried to. All he saw of her was her long purplish-black hair as she vacated the room.
'Ceres….what has happened to both of us…..i have no idea what to do or think anymore…..our families are also involved in this….this is all a complicated mess….i just don't understand…..'
"Anooo……Sasuke-kun…?"
Sasuke's head jerked up as he registered someone calling his name.
"Huh….oh, Sakura…..yeah what?"
"Ummm….well….actually, I was just wondering…..wuzurelatinshiwisres?"
"H-Huh!!!What!?"
Sasuke blinked in surprise and looked quizzically at Sakura. Sakura blushed slightly and stuttered.
"I-I mean….err…welll….what exactly is your relationship with Ceres-neichan?"
Sasuke's eyes darkened. He turned around and picked up the remains of his shirt.
[A/N:Hehe!!!!Sorry Sasuke!!! (^.^)]
"So are you gonna answer m-"
"Haruno-san"
Sakura stood up straight her eyes widening. Sasuke's cold tone felt as if a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured down her back.
"I would appreciate it if you minded your own business. This is one matter I do not want anybody pestering me about. Keep out."
With his words ringing like bells in Sakura's ears, Sasuke walked out of the room. His last words were 'Don't forget to clean up'.
Sakura dropped down her knees as he disappeared. She stared at the armband on her hand, tears welling in her eyes.
"This….meant….nothing to you???"
