Chapter 18

Sakura vs. Sasuke

She flinches away from his voice. It sounded very angry and hurt. But she held her ground. She wasn't that weak little girl anymore that use to follow him around. "I don't have to explain anything to you Uchiha," she spat. The grip on her arm tightens. "Oh yes you do Sakura. First why did you keep my child away from ne," he said calmly. She looks away. He clenches his teeth and grabs her chin. "Sakura why? I need to know why," his voice broke a little at the last word. It started raining. Didn't see that coming.

"Why' you ask," she said looking into those eyes that always made her knees go weak. "Because you left me that's why. Because you got some girl pregnant. Because you're a bastard that's why," she all but shouted, hurt in her eyes. He flinches inward. "Sakura…" Sho shook her head and got away from his hands. "No Sasuke. It's over. Please just let it go," her voice sounded dead. She was looking straight through him. Anger washed over him. 'This isn't faif. She's not giving me a chance,' he thought. "Sakura-" "I don't want to hear it."

She turns her back on him, and started walking away. He appeared right in front of her. "You are not going anywhere Sakura. We are going to talk this out." She bawls up her fists. 'Why can't he leave me alone?' "I said no Sasuke. Let it be and move." He didn't. She signs. "Alright. It looks like I'm going to have to use force." He was taken aback. His little cherry blossom wants to fight him. He was to caught up in his thoughts that he didn't notice that a fist was coming right for his face. The force of it made him fly into a tree.

But he turns into a log and appears right behind her. "That wasn't very nice Sakura," he whispered. She tried to land an elbow in his stomach but he blocks it. She then tried to use her leg but he blocks that too. She flips back and did some hands signs that were unfamiliar to Sasuke. "Rose Art! Rose strings." Sasuke raised his eyebrow as pink roses came from the ground and formed strings. They came after him He jumps out of the way but more came from behind him.

He did some hand signs. "Fire style. Fire ball jutsu!" A fire ball flamed the roses. He then turns to Sakura. "What the hell was that?" She smirks and did some more hand signs. "Rose Art! Rose bombs." Sakura swipes her hand over her mouth and roses came from her hand. The pink roses flew everywhere. Sasuke looks around. 'I wonder what this jutsu do,' he thought. She then did some more hand signs and more of those rose strings came and tied up Sasuke so fast he didn't see it coming. "What the…" "Now Sasuke. Taste the pain you cause me," she said her eyes heated.

He looks at her. "Sakura is this what you really want? Making me feel pain," he asked quietly. She grinned. "Yes!" He widens his eyes as she did a hand sign. "Release!" The pink roses exploded. She turns her back and started walking out of the forest.

Sakura made it to her old apartment, soaking wet from the rain. She opens the door takes off her shoes and went to her room to change, not bothering turning on the light. 'Ino will be here in an hour,' she thought as she undress and put a towel over her. She was about to go into the bathroom when a hand grabs her around the waist.
