Chapter Nine ~ Tainted with Shame
A/N: Chapter Nine, here we come! Now, I was supposed to post this two days ago, but I was too tired last time. And, then yesterday..(the 23rd), well I had an earthquake where I lived. It was the biggest one we've had since like the late 1800's! So, pretty big shock there and I've been hearing a hurricane may hit on Saturday...so, yeah. Anyways, uhm...enjoy this chapter. You'll understand why these two chapters are being posted around the same time and if you don't then it will be answered on my second Author's Note (at the bottom!) So, enjoy this chapter!
PRECAP: "A-are you s-sure?" Gaara asked, Sakura didn't reply because she wasn't sure. She tried to nod, but she felt her body was taking control over her rather than her brain. Bringing Sakura to his room, Gaara locked the door and sighed once again.
"S-sakura, I-I'm s-sorry f-f" Gaara had been speaking, but was interrupted by Sakura.
"Just stop, I-I..." Sakura spoke, but had to pause so tear drops wouldn't come out and neither would her bawling reappear like it did at Starbucks. Gaara could sense that Sakura was to cry very soon and it was probably better stop talking and do what they were supposed to.
He walked towards the bed and looked at her. He gently pushed her onto the bed as he gulped one last time.
Both thought the same thing:
"Here we go..."
"W-where am I...?" A pleasant and sweet voice said as eyes opened to a room that did not look familiar to the speaker's orbs. Slowly, the body stood up onto the bed's post and everything began to hit them as they looked at their body with their waist and down covered the only thing being exposed was breasts. Quickly, the female who the body belonged to pulled the blanket to cover up her body and looked around the room in case anyone, but her was in the bedroom.
It hit her, she was in the room of the man she was having a baby with. The man named Gaara Sabaku. And, the girl being the one and only Sakura. She looked horrified as she realized it was done, she had sex with Gaara despite being engaged to someone. "W-what have I done...?"
This very bed was the once where she pleasured herself with Gaara, the bed where she broke the trust of her and Sasuke, this very bed which Sakura could not be on anymore once realizing what the bed symbolized. It wasn't her bed. It wasn't Sasuke's bed. It was his bed. Jumping off the bed in an instant with the blanket being wrapped around her body, the female looked at the things that were on the other side of the bed, but had been pushed off when she pulled the blanket off. The things were a note, a robe, toothbrush with toothpaste, shower materials, and a fresh pair of clothing. The note read the following:
Sakura. It's over, we can't change what we did. I understand the circumstances and I agree to them so don't worry. Here I have things for you to freshen up and go to work or wherever you need to go. Tell the chef downstairs what you want for breakfast and it'll be made for you. Before you throw this paper away or rip it, I want to let you know that don't beat yourself up for what happened. Like I said what is done is done. It may sound rude and cruel, but we can't go in the past.
I'm sorry for everything. If you need anything, you have my number. Have a good day..
Sincerely,
Gaara
Once reading the note, Sakura noticed something was crossed out before it said Sincerely, but she was unable to read it. A moment later ,the note was crumpled up and on the floor. "No...this cannot be happening. I love Sasuke, not Gaara. Why...why did I have..." No more words escaped the girl's mouth as she plopped onto the floor in tears.
The rosette could never forgive herself. Not in a million years. The guilt would kill her, her whole life because of one stupid mistake. Something she never thought would have happened. The mix of pain and sorrow was already unbearable and it was only the first day and she hasn't even met up with Sasuke yet. Speaking of Sasuke, she hasn't answered any of his calls, texts, messages, nothing. She has him hanging.
"I-I...have to tell him..." She whimpered as she closed her eyes. The feeling of moths eating her insides were too much to handle and she didn't know how she would be able to go for her whole life...living a lie.
Her mind was going to explode, she kept thinking of the situation over and over again. She finally picked herself up to the corner of the room and had her legs close to her body. Looking up to the ceiling, Sakura felt like a dagger was going through her heart. The pain of losing the baby wasn't as bad as losing Sasuke.
She pushed her head onto the wall and let the tears flow down her face. Looking at the bed, all the girl could think about was...last night.
Sakura looked at her body, it was naked, and this was the first and only time Sakura Haruno would ever be naked in front of someone that wasn't her fiance. She gulped and looked away, embarrassed and ashamed of herself. As Gaara put his lips onto Sakura's neck, the rosette couldn't help, but let out a moan. After the moan, everything went awkward. Though the kiss Gaara gave felt like something Sakura never felt before.
She wasn't saying Gaara was a better kisser, but the way he did it and the way his lips captured the pleasure and excitement in her body with just one plant made him different than Sasuke. Once realizing that Sakura moaned, she bit her lip to prevent anymore sounds from escaping her mouth.
Gaara asked if she wanted to stop, but Sakura shook her head. She closed her eyes as Gaara planted her with kisses, after every kiss grew a flower on her body. A flower full of lust and delight.
Sakura rubbed her neck and arms feeling the spots where the lips touched. "Sasuke...kissed them too..."
Beginning to bawl again when thinking about Sasuke, the door was knocked.
"Ma'am." The lady said, in stutters. The lady was a maid at the Sabaku mansion, from the woman Gaara slept with last night, she waited her permission.
Sakura wiped her tears and stood up and wrapped the blanket around her tighter so her nude body wouldn't be exposed. Dragging herself to the door, the female opened and looked at the maid. With gulps and stutters, the maid managed to speak.
"M-m'am...w-would you like me to...c-clean the r-room?" The maid asked when looking down. Sakura nodded her head as she moved to allow entrance for the young lady. The lady walked in with a cart full of cleaning materials. She walked towards the things that were on the floor such as the things that Gaara had left for Sakura and handed it to the rosette. "D-don't forget these..."
"Thanks..." Sakura muttered as she took the items in her hands and began walking out of the room. Though, before she could leave the maid began speaking.
"Ma'am, the bathroom is over there..."
Sakura looked at the room the maid pointed to and the female walked towards that. She reached the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror, she looked at her tainted self, her body that belonged to Sasuke originally, but now...even Sakura didn't know who it belonged to.
"W-whore..." She muttered to herself at thought of sleeping with Gaara when being with Sasuke. Gaara wasn't at fault in terms of her cheating, it was Sakura for agreeing to Gaara's stupid idea. "Y-you...don't deserve Sasuke..."
After getting into the shower, Sakura stood under the water letting it fall on her face. She wasn't watching herself, but thinking. Thinking of how she would face Sasuke, even if he didn't know, she had no face to show to him. Every time he'd ask about her baby. Every time he said he loved her. Every time he said he trusted her.
"NO!" She exclaimed as she bent down. "No...No..." She said as she stopped the water and walked out of the shower wet and dripping water around the bathroom. The female looked at her phone and at the caller ID it was showing.
GAI CALLING.
"Oh shit..." The girl grumbled as she picked up the phone.
"Sakura, baby!" Gai said over the phone with his very feminine voice.
"Hello...Gai..." Sakura replied, hesitantly.
"Babe, you got discharged from the hospital...so where are you? Did you forget that you need to submit your design today!" Gai explained as Sakura rolled her eyes and sighed before replying.
"But...I...I haven't had any time to...I..." The girl said, but was interrupted by her boss.
"Sakura, honey! Just come to work, finish it up, and ta-da! Girl, we need the design otherwise you know how Chiyo can be. She is just a bitch." Gai informed as Sakura, sighed and agreed.
"Kay, babe! See you at work!"
Rolling her eyes, Sakura began changing her clothing into the ones that Gaara provided which was a woman's suit. Sakura had to admit she was shocked that Gaara would provide her with such clothing. Nonetheless, she changed into them and began preparing herself for work due to her idiotic boss who gave no care to her condition, till Sakura's baby bump came, she couldn't leave work in the pregnant condition.
Sakura worked for a fashion designing company called, Gai and Gals. The female loved the designing part, just not the working with Gai part since to her, he was the dumbest and most annoying person he's ever known.
Sakura left the house after eating breakfast and getting her things together. There was a car out for here and Sakura decided to go into it since she had no car of her own to it being burned and ruined. Speaking of which, she needed to ask Gaara to buy her a new car.
"Gaara..." She muttered, once recalling Gaara and Sasuke, the situation which would haunt her for life.
Sakura put her hands into Gaara's as he continued to kiss her keeping a smile on the girl's face. Though she hid the smile every time Gaara would return to her face. She didn't know why she was smiling, but it was a smiling moment. Every now and then, she thought of him as Sasuke, and anything about Sasuke made the rosette smile.
The rosette reached work and entered the office with everyone staring at her. People heard of what happened, though they didn't have anything to say. Sakura didn't talk to anyone who spoke to her, she was lost in her thoughts about Gaara. When reaching her cabin, she plopped into the chair and sighed.
Sakura looked at her desk and saw a picture...a picture of Sasuke. She picked up the picture and had a small smile on her face when thinking of her memories with Sasuke.
A black haired male looked at a beautiful pink haired girl, they were a mix of black and pink, they matched each other like mac and cheese, they matched each other like peanut better and jelly, they were each others perfect match.
"Sasuke..if I were to tell you I was pregnant. What would you do?" Sakura announced with a small grin.
"I'd hate you and break up with you..." Sasuke replied bringing a horrified look onto his girlfriend's face.
"W-what?" She cried out.
"I'm kidding...I'd...I'd...do this!" Sasuke said, with a wink. Sakura stood their confused as Sasuke pulled her into a kiss. His lips began taking over hers and the love was begin exchanged through the lips.
"I love you!" Sakura exclaimed after the kiss was over. Sasuke picked up his pregnant lover and held up into the sky. "Sakura...I love you."
Sakura wiped the forming tears. She had such precious moments with Sasuke, that even the thought of being with Gaara was uncomfortable, actually being with any other guy was uncomfortable for her.
"SAKURA!" A voice called out, the voice belonged to Sakura's bestest girlfriend, Ino. Ino skipped to Sakura and gave her a huge hug when getting to the sitting down Sakura. "Are you okay? I don't know why Gai is such a bitch for making you work, he's totally stupid...but..."
Before Ino could continue, Ino noticed the tears in Sakura's eyes. "Damn...do you really not want to be at work that much that you are crying? If so, I can take over..."
"N-no...I was j-just...You know? Pregnancy thing..." Sakura lied, once saying the word pregnancy, the female bit her tongue. She couldn't cry in front of Ino and hope to not blurt anything out in the process. She had to keep her cool and if she cried, the news would go to Sasuke, who would demand an answer for her weeping.
"Oh...true. So, how is Sakura and Sasuke junior doing!" Ino exclaimed as Sakura sighed before speaking. There was no way that Sakura was going to be able to stop herself from crying with the questions her friend would be asking.
Sakura nodded, but the tears continued to fall. Ino looked confused again and asked about the tears. "Holy...does everything make you sad when you're pregnant? At least your baby is fine from that accident...otherwise Sasuke would be so upset. Though, I bet he'd kill that guy who killed your baby. Hehe, Sasuke loves you so much. It's so adorable! SasuSaku forever!" The blonde chanted. "You guys are like the best couple. I mean I have not seen one so pure. I vote for you guys to be the longest lasting couple because it's not like you guys would ever cheat each other!"
The last few words broke Sakura's heart. The dagger returned and her heart was split into half. The moths chomped her insides. And her body intertwined with all the remaining parts that the moths hadn't eaten yet. Sakura began crying and whimpering, Ino's eyes widened as she looked at her best friend. "S-sakura...are you okay?"
"No..." Sakura peeped out, but Ino brought her ear in closer to hear what Sakura said and motioned for the girl to repeat what she was saying. "Uh...uh...Bathroom!"
Ino raised her eyebrows, but moved so that Sakura could easily run into the bathroom to do whatever she needed to. "I thought you didn't have periods when you're pregoos! Ooops!"
Once reaching the bathroom, Sakura went into the first empty stall and sat down crying. "Dammit Sakura, what did you do?"
A/N: I apologize if you this hate chapter, I will admit...this chapter was not done as good and smoothly as I wished I had done it. I may just rewrite it later on. Though, I do apologize if you didn't like it. I didn't want to just go on and on about her feeling guilty and her crying because one, I need to save that for later and two, it's going to get repetitive after awhile that all Sakura does is cry which is repetitive and annoying for some. Sorry about that! Though, this chapter really aimed at letting the readers (you) know how guilty she is feeling, though I personally don't feel I did a good job on that. Did you like the chapter name? I totally forgot to ask before because I felt it fit because Sakura is obviously tainted by cheating on Sasuke and then the word shame came into play since Sakura slept with Gaara and she is full of shame...Does that make sense? I hope so! Sooooo tell me what you think, puhlease! :D
I hope you liked the chapter and the reason I am not doing shoutouts is because this chapter and the previous chapter correspond since it is supposed to show Gaara's emotions on "that night" and Sakura's emotions on "that night". Instead of putting them into one chapter, which I feel would've ruined the feel of their reactions, I split it into two. So, next chapter, I will do shoutouts and replies to the reviews for Chapter Nine and Chapter Eight!
Speaking of the next update, I, personally have no idea when that will be and the reason for that is because school is starting for me next year and I need to focus on studies because I'm taking two very high level classes, they are classes that people two years older than me are taking, so I need to focus on my studies and stuff. Also, I have a lot of stories going on...two (maybe three) Victorious stories, two Naruto stories (not including this one), and one Fire Emblem story. So, I have a lot in my plate. So, please be patient and understanding if I don't update as often as I plan too. Though, if I make you wait for a long time, I hope to write a very good chapter to even out the wait and the quality.
Anyways, sorry for this long Author's Note! Tell me what you thought of this chapter? Do you understand Sakura's emotions? Is she being melodramatic? Is Sasuke ever coming back? Did Sakura ever finish Gai's project? And, most importantly...is Ino going to figure out whether Sakura is really pregnant or not at the moment! All coming up in the next chapter. Stay tuned :D
One last thing, do any of you have twitters?
