Chapter Six: A Girl's Face

So soft

So delicate

Too delicate

To vulnerable for anyone to touch, but me

But when I look into her eyes

They're cold

Cold and strong

But when I blink they are warm and inviting

Whatever she is inside

Whatever it is…it makes my heart jump

Her lips hold all secrets

Her ears listen to only my voice

Her nose only smells my fragrance

She is mine

As I brush her cheek her mouth curls into a smile

And I touch her lips to mine

Sasuke met Ren in front of her apartment building. The light sprinkle had transformed into a heavy deluge. But this time…his ears weren't ringing.

"Sasuke! Good to see you!"

Ren smiled her crooked fake smile, "Your eyes…they look sad. I thought you found out what you needed too?"

Sasuke clenched his fist, "How do you…"

The young girl grabbed his hand and leaned against him, "I'm really cold. You should walk me home."

"Where exactly is home?"

"Hee hee you sound like a stalker Sasuke! Don't worry I'll show you! Just don't seduce me okies?"

Sasuke cringed, "You really think…"

"Oh please Sasuke don't take jokes so seriously! You're too nice to be like that. I should know…"

"You know I really should push you into the street and watch you die."

"Empty threats Sasuke…empty threats."

"Hn."

Sasuke had then decided he wasn't gonna let this raven haired pre teen mess with his head; but she was getting really close to breaking through his tough guy skin.

As she held him close to her Sasuke could feel that her body was a lot colder to than the rain. Her body was like an ice cube…freezing…

Ren looked up at him, "Sasuke…this Sakura girl. Why do you think you lose sleep?"

Sasuke hadn't really thought about it in a while. He was becoming accustomed to the random stumbling and his eyes fluttering shut in public places…sad in a way.

"I don't know."

"I'm sorry. That's all I want to say."

Through the pouring rain Sasuke could actually see her own water forming in her eyes.

"Well…Ren…why are you so cold."

She finally giggled the way any young girl should; a sincere amused laugh, "You wouldn't understand."

"And why not?"

"I'm just as cold as you are. Inside you're suffering more then me. Then again…your suffering is different then mine."

Sasuke grimaced, "How so?"

Sasuke had barely realized that they had arrived outside the forest.

"Maybe later Sasuke…this is where we part."

"Here? You live in the forest?"

"Hee hee…of course not, I live just beyond it…but you don't need to see that just yet."

"Ren…you hide so much from me yet you know so much about me."

"I have to admit that must scare you. Well here's a bit of advice…Someone once told me, I will forever remember it, When you want to know more about someone take face in your hands and caress it until you want to cry because you'll forever know them inside out."

"Where did you here that?"

"Does it really matter Sasuke? By the way…it's not my face you want to touch; for you will know me later…later you may know me better then anyone else in this cruel world. But in a world of punishments there is also hope…you just need to know where to look."

She took another step towards the forest, "Oh and one more thing…hee hee…Naruto's holding out on you."

With that Ren dashed into the forest…Sasuke didn't fallow. Instead his ears stung as he listened to the rain.

The fallowing day at around noon Sakura's cell phone rang while she was chewing on her thumb again; even though she was trying really hard to break that habit…she didn't miss school often and she didn't like it, she hastily answered it, "Hello?"

"Sakura why aren't you at school?"

It was Naruto; it was lunch at her school. She definitely couldn't tell him she wasn't there because Sasuke told her not to go, "Uh…cough…I came down with a really bad cold last night…cough…I'm really sorry."

"Oh that's why? Well I hope you feel better! Do you want me to come over later? Cuz since last time…"

"No!" She said more harshly she had intended too.

"Sakura?"

"Sorry…cough…Naruto. Moody I guess?"

"Oh…Alright then, hope you get better! C-ya!"

Naruto thankfully hung up and Sakura sighed a familiar sigh. She suddenly heard her door open and close. She rushed out of her bedroom and saw Sasuke standing in her living room.

"Sasuke? Why are you…?"

Before she knew it Sasuke was standing only inches from her.

"S-Sa-Sasuke…is there something wrong?"

"No…"

He put his arm around her waist and whispered into her ear, "You listened to me."

"Y-Yeah of course."

"Would you do it again?"

She only nodded this time. What was it now? Was he gonna ask her to ask Ten Ten out this time…no…that's impossible.

"Are you sure…"

He pulled her closer and breathed on her neck, "Positive…?"

She nodded again. Was he teasing her? Tempting her? Well whatever he was doing…it was working. This time he was actually going a little farther. What the hell did he want her to do?

He ran his fingers through her long soft pink rose hair, "Don't turn your back on me…alright?"

She didn't even get the chance to nod because Sasuke was kissing her neck…ok friends didn't do this…at least any that she ever had. Sasuke must have felt her shiver because his irresistible smirk crossed his face. He brushed his thumb against her cheek and lightly pressed his lips on the corner of her mouth…he was killing her inside.

"Sakura…Naruto; I need you to ask him…ask him what he's hiding from me…and that if he doesn't tell you I'll take everything he loves away…Sakura…I know I'm frightening you, but you must understand I need to know what he does."

She was in shock. What on earth could Sasuke possibly want to know?! He wanted to take everything Naruto loved away from him.

"I know you think it sounds harsh Sakura…but I won't have to do anything rash if you can convince him to tell you."

He grasped her face between his hands and looked at her straight in the eyes…onyx meeting jade… "Sakura…please."

With that Sasuke finally did what she had been waiting for this entire time…his lips finally locked with hers. She closed her worry filled eyes and kissed him longingly back. He parted much sooner then she expected, "Do it tomorrow."

As he walked towards the door Sakura dashed after him and grabbed his arm, "Sasuke! You really want me too…"

He swiftly turned around, "Yes, yes I do."

She frowned and Sasuke gently kissed her cheek, "You can do this."

He hoped that was enough reassurance, and left.

As he slowed his pace across the crosswalk he thought about when he kissed her. It was short…but he hadn't planned on kissing her so soon, but if he wanted to have her say something that horrible to her best friend, kissing her was the most persuading. Still…that few seconds was enough to even make his cold heart skip a beat. Strange…he was using her and yet she had that kind of effect on him?

He suddenly heard his cell phone ring…it was unusually loud…he looked at the caller id…pay phone…

"Hello?"

"Hi…You want a hint?"

"What are you talking about Ren?"

She had his cell phone number too? She had called him a stalker?

"The girl…?"

Sasuke nearly dropped his phone and screamed, "How the fuck do you…?"

"Hee hee…don't worry about how I know…I have my ways! So do you want to know or not?"

Sasuke didn't say anything, but he nodded and somehow she knew, "Well that's cheating. You're supposed to figure it out yourself!"

"Well then why the hell did you ask me!?"

"It's so fun messing with people neh? Well FYI she's been by your side from the start."

She hung up after that. Sasuke listened to the buzzing dial tone…it made his ears feel numb. Before he had the chance to let Ren's words sink in he heard loud honking that made him cover his sensitive ears. He looked to see an 18 wheeler heading his way honking loudly. He quickly jumped out of the way and landed hard on the sidewalk. Several people were mumbling in the background along with the occasional, "OH MY GOD!"

Sasuke rubbed his head and got up…

Am I really that dazed…How come whenever I'm around Ren I hear things too loudly. It's so painful…

Sasuke felt himself start to walk...even though his body wanted to resist. He was hurt but didn't want anyone that was around to call the ambulance. Ambulance meant possibly police and that was definitely unnecessary.

"Well that was a close one neh?"

Sasuke saw Ren standing a few feet in front of him. He ran towards her and she started to run towards him as well. What?

Suddenly she ran passed him and Sasuke turned around quickly. She was runny right into the street!

"Ren! What are you…?"

A large red truck slammed right into her side and she must have flown at least seven feet. She wasn't moving. Sasuke ran to her, but she started to stand up. She turned and stared at him…a cold dark stare. Blood was dripping from her side, a gash on her left arm and a cut on her forehead that was gushing a waterfall of crimson liquid. Ren smiled, "That was a closer one."

She sprinted away while Sasuke stared dumbfounded.

Sasuke wasn't at school. The entire day Sakura was like a zombie. She had decided that she would ask Naruto right after school. Even though she had all that she was going to say planned out she still couldn't accept it. What did Naruto know? And why did Sasuke…kiss her?

Sakura made her way to the baseball field. It was winter and there was most likely no one there…that was where she had told Naruto to meet her.

Right on time…the clueless blonde was approaching her. Sakura swallowed loudly…this was…Was she getting sick…for real this time?

"Sakura? What's up?! Was there something you wanted to ask me?"

Sakura leaned against the fence; put her hands behind her back and clenched the cold metal.

"N-Na-Naruto…this...it's a message…from Sasuke."

Naruto immediately froze and his eyes turned from carefree to intense…and frightening.

"He says there is something you know. He wants to know what that is…and if you don't tell me right here…he'll…"

Sakura was struggling to get the last words out, "He'll take everything you love away from you."

Naruto face was instantly angry.

If Sasuke wanted to know so badly why didn't he just ask Naruto face to face…and another thing…how did Sasuke figure out I knew something? Naruto wanted to punch Sasuke's teeth out at that moment. This was getting out of hand and Naruto was getting sick of it.

Naruto clenched his fist…and sending his best friend? He was smart…If Sasuke had shown up himself Naruto definitely wouldn't have told him; but now that he had involved Sakura if Naruto didn't tell her Sakura would worry about the blonde and never let it go. Sakura would worry and that was…not what Naruto wanted.

"Sakura…"

Naruto reached into his backpack and pulled out a pen and paper. He wrote down what Sasuke wanted. If he lied…nothing good would come of it.

He folded the paper and handed it to his friend, "Don't read it Sakura…please don't."

Sakura only nodded and Naruto walked away.

The worry in Naruto's eyes made Sakura want to cry. She put the piece of paper in her school jacket that was wrapped around her waist (in spite of the cold).

She put her hands over her face and took a deep breath…Don't cry.

Sakura felt one arm rip from her face and before she had a chance to react she was in the dugout. She was pressed against the wall…it was dark outside because of the season and inside the inside of the smelly dug out was darker…but that wasn't enough to hide the smirk of the one she…I can't love him…can I?

"Nice job Sakura."

Sasuke pressed her even harder against the wall, "That wasn't so hard was it?"

Actually it was one of the hardest things she had ever had to do.

He placed his hand around her face and kissed her cheek gently.

"Why are you having me do these things Sasuke?"

She could tell that this surprised him because his smirk disappeared.

"Does it worry you?"

"Well yeah…"

As she tried to continue explaining her started kissing her neck…unlike last time he was actually sucking a little. She felt her face flush redder than ever before. He put his arm around her waist and made sure they were as close as possible.

Sakura was confused…he asked her a question but wasn't letting her answer?

She felt him reach into her pocket and grab the note. Before she could object in anyway he kissed her lips. It wasn't a short reassuring kiss this time…He grabbed the back of her head and kissed her passionately. Sakura was more confused than ever, but right now she wanted to let these feelings go (which is what Sasuke wanted).

She saw him slip the note into his back pocket and put his arm back around her waist. Sasuke reached up her shirt and Sakura shivered. He laughed, "Do you like this?"

Sakura didn't know what to do…so she only nodded…this made him laugh again.

He combed his fingers through her hair, "You're funny…"

He playfully placed butterfly kissed along her jaw line. Sakura was still speechless.

He gave her one last kiss on the lips and exited the dugout, "Again…nice job."
