Sakura really didn't mind that Sasuke was quiet. She didn't want to say or do the wrong thing to offend him when she had just gotten there. He walked a few steps ahead of her as she followed. She couldn't help but stare. Something about him just made Sakura feel very excited. Maybe it was the fact that he didn't say much and that made him mysterious. Sasuke opened the door and they walked inside. Sakura stopped once she was in to stare at all that was before her. She felt like she had just walked into a hotel. She was in a large room with a high ceiling and a few sofa's. To her right was obviously the living room area and to her left, the kitchen. She gazed up in amazement as she saw a beautiful chandelier hanging over her head.
"If you don't want to get lost I suggest you keep up." Said Sasuke cooly. Sakura looked back at him and he was already halfway up the twenty or so stairs that were in front of her. Quickly she ran up the stairs to catch up with him.
"It's so amazing. I hope I don't have a hard time finding my way around." Sakura said.
"Yeah well, It's easy to get lost." He said sounding somewhat annoyed.
Sakura stared at the paintings on the walls as they passed them and the railings. They were a deep brown color with golden trim around them, The floor was a black marble color, and the ceiling was high and painted white. Suddenly Sakura bumped into something hard and with a loud 'thud' fell backward onto her butt.
"Ouch..." She said realizeing that what she had bumped into was Sasuke's back.
"This is it." he pointed to the door in front of him.
She stood up slowly not sure which was hurting worse her face or her ass. Sasuke opened the door and dragged her bags inside placing them right near the bed. The room was huge. There was a king size bed in the middle of the room with red and pink bed sheets on it. The carpet was creme colored to match the curtains and the window looked out over the backyard. There was a desk with a computer on it already and a telephone. Ironically there was also a large potted cherry blossom tree in the corner. This made Sakura smile.
"Have fun." Sasuke said as he walked out.
"Oh, but"
He stopped and turned toward her with a blank expression.
"What?" he asked simply.
"Oh well, I just thought maybe you'd want to stay and, talk? I figured since we are the same age we might have some things in common"
Sasuke just stared at her. He stared for what seemed like an eternity. Even though his stare was obviously full of hatered Sakura just couldn't help but look back into his dark, mysterious eyes.
Without even a word he went to turn away and walk again.
"Hey, uh. Wait." She said.
He turned to her with an annoyed glare.
"Your not even gonna give me a yes or no? Your just gonna walk away"
The dark haired boy turned again.
"Uh"
He rolled his eyes.
"I'm not sure if I'll be able to find my way back downstairs alone." Sakura pleaded. Why was she begging for him to stay with her? She had to call Naruto and her parents and start unpacking.
"This is annoying." Sasuke said. Sakura felt a little offended and hurt.
"If you want to get back downstairs I'm going now. You follow or you find your own way down."
For some reason on the walk down there seemed to be a lot more turns than she had remembered. She wasn't paying much attention because of how distracted she was by all the nice artwork. Sakura held her phone tightly in her hand. She felt bad for not calling when she got here as she promised but she was very overwhelmed and hungry. Naruto would understand that she wanted to eat first. Plus, she didn't want to make a phone call while in front of people.
Once they reached the kitchen Mikoto smiled at Sakura.
"Dinner is all set. Fugaku doesn't get home for a few more hours and Itachi is at karate lessons so it will be just the three of us for right now"
Judgeing by what Mikoto had just said she could tell which one was the older son and which was her husband. Sakura nodded and took a seat at the table. Sasuke sat on the opposite side of the table than her.
Mikoto cleared her throat loudly which caused Sasuke to look at her.
"I hope your being polite to Sakura and making her feel welcome here." She said.
Sasuke nodded slightly and looked back down at his food and continued eating.
"Don't mind him Sakura, He's usually slightly more cheerful than this it's just that his girlfriend and him broke up a few weeks ago and he's still a little upset"
"Mom." Said Sasuke annoyed.
"Oh stop. It's nothing you need to be embarassed about"
Sakura tried not to draw attention to the subject and continued eating.
"That girl was a whore anyone. You need to find yourself a nice girl like Sakura"
This made Sakura choke a little on the peice of food she was just about to swallow.
Sasuke sighed slightly and rolled his eyes.
"Oh I didn't mean he should date you honey, just someone like you. Unless you would be interested than by all means"
"No!" Sakura said nervously which made it come out louder than she was expecting.
"I mean, n-no mam, You see I have a boyfriend back home"
"Oh how nice!" Mikoto said as she started going off on a rant about how nice it is to have someone in your life.
Sasuke was for some reason stareing at Sakura intently and she wasn't sure why. This made her feel a bit awkward so he decided it was best to eat her food quickly so she could get back to her room.
Sasuke had walked her up to her room after dinner was done. She was too afraid of getting lost again. It was now eight o'clock and Sakura lay on her bed still without calling Naruto or her parents. The pink haired girl was very worried actually about something that she had said.
"N-no mam, You see I have a boyfriend back home"
Naruto was not her boyfriend. He was her fiance of three months. Why suddenly did she call him her boyfriend? As if she was hiding the fact that she was engaged? Yes, she had left her ring at home but that was because she didn't take anything valueable with her for fear that it might get stolen since she didn't really know the people in the house. That was no excuse. Shaking her head and sitting up she walked over to her purse and took out her cell phone. She dialed Naruto's cell phone number and waited for him to answer.
"Sakura!" Came his cheerful voice from the other end of the phone.
"Hi Naruto." She smiled. "How are things"
"Fine fine, I miss you! How's things there? Want to come home yet"
"Good and no, not quite yet." Sakura laughed.
"Well, a few of the guys are going to see a movie and I'm going to join them to try and take my mind off the fact that your not here"
Sakura frowned at this. Naruto never wanted to leave the house or go anywhere with her. He was always very involved in his video games.
"Oh, okay." She said trying to sound cheerful.
"I love you my cherry blossom." Naruto said happily.
"I love you too."
"I'll call you later"
And with that the phone hung up.
Sakura tossed her phone half heartidly onto her bed. She was now extremely depressed and tears were starting to form in her eyes. A loud knock then came on her door.
"Just a minute." She said wiping her eyes and walking to the door. She opened it to find Sasuke standing there.
"Uh.." He seemed unsure of what to say. "Uhm, well..." Now he just sounded annoyed.
"I'm going over to a friends house. He has an indoor pool and a bunch of my friends are going to be there. This is really annoying but my mom said I should ask if you would be interested in coming"
"Well, I"
"Okay good I didn't think you would want to." He said as he started to walk away.
"Hey wait now, That's kind of rude." Sakura said. Her chest was now becoming heavy like she was going to cry.
Sasuke shut his eyes tightly and turned around to her.
"You invite me somewhere and then ignore my reply?" Sakura said.
"I only invited you because my mother said I had to, not because I was actually waiting for a real responce from you. Your not my friend, your just some girl who is living in my house for two weeks"
Sakura gazed down at the floor. While this was true she was hoping to make a new friend in the two weeks she was there.
"God your annoying"
She looked up at him confused. How could he make such an accusation? He hadn't even known her that long. What? A few hours maybe?
"Get your bathing suit on a lets go, I'm leaving in ten minutes with or without you"
Sakura was confused but turned to go into her room and change reguardless.
"Hopefully without." Sasuke mumbled as he walked away.
Closing the door behind her she shook her head. What an asshole. She thought. So then, Why am I even going? I should just stay here and wait for Naruto to call me back when he gets home from the movies. But then again, if he can go out and have fun without me there, then why can't I? Well, that was it, she had now just convinced herself. Quickly changeing into her bikini and rummageing through her suitcase to find a spring dress that she had packed she then tossed it on over her bathing suit, put on her flip-flops, grabbed her purse off the floor, and walked out of her room.
Just in time too, Sasuke was on his way down the stairs. As he saw her come out he mumbled an "Of course." and continued walking. He was wearing a black button up shirt with light blue jeans. She could tell that he had sprayed himself with some kind of cologne and she felt as though the strong scent was what was dragging her along after him down the stairs. No, no wait. She shouldn't be thinking like this about another boy. Wheather anything is going to come out of it or not, she needed to keep her feelings straight. She couldn't like another boy while she was engaged. It just wouldn't be right.
Sasuke waved goodbye to his mother and Sakura bowed lightly as she followed him out the door. They both walked down the stairs and to the driveway. Sakura had started walking towards the car that Mikoto had picked her up in but Sasuke bluntly yelled out.
"Wrong"
It startled her for a second and then she stopped.
"That's my car." He said as he pointed to a very nice deep blue Mustang convertable. The top however, was up at the moment. He walked over to it and got in. Sakura wasn't aware that he had his own car. She walked over to it and reached for the handle. It was locked. Sasuke was already in the car and had started it. Rolling down the window a bit on the passangers side he talked over the blaring rock music.
"What, don't you want to come"
Sakura didn't answer. It had been a long time since she had had such a childish trick played on her.
"Get in, What are you doing"
Once again she didn't answer.
"If you didn't want to come why did you bother getting dressed and following me out here"
She glared at him.
He glared back.
"Useless." He muttered as he unlocked the door.
Sakura rolled her eyes and got in.
