Sleeping Cherry

Chapter Eight

I munched happily on the cherry. I spit out the seeds. But there was two things in my way, Sasuke. One, he watched me as I ate, which annoyed me like hell. And Two, he had the cherries.

"Sasuke..." he turned around to look at me, "Can I—"

"Hn." He said as he gave a questioning look. I sighed.

"Can I have the—" I was cut off by a red haired girl running towards Sasuke.

"Sasuke-kun!" a girl screamed as she hugged him, he gave a look the looked like him wanted to throw up. The girl looked at the bag of cherries, "Sasuke-kun! You bought me cherries!" as she was getting to grab one Sasuke smacked her hand away.

"Karin," he paused, "These cherries are for her." He said as he pointed to me. Karin followed his finger.

"Her?" she questioned loudly, "B-but s-she's—" Sasuke sighed. He knew too well the Karin was going to cry over him.

"I-I just want the cherries, Sasuke." I said as Karin glared at me. Sasuke handed the bag to me. I smiled in joy, like a little kid getting sweets, "Thank you Sasuke." I got a cherry out and started to nibble on it slowly, feeling the glares Karin gave me as I did so.

After Karin was done chatting with her 'Sasuke-kun' we walked around the tiny village. I was the only one admiring the view as Sasuke was being praised by fangirls for his looks. We kept walking as he sighed and sat by the water fountain that was gushing out water.

"I noticed that your very popular. With the girl population at least." I said as he sighed and nodded. Sasuke and I watched as the sun was slowly lowering.

"We should get back… If you don't want to get noticed that we left." He said. I started to walk down the road in which we came. All of the men and women who were selling foods were slowly packing them away.

Before long we made it back to the old door. Sasuke stepped in front of me and tried to get the door to open.

"Damn." He muttered under his breath. He tried again and again, but the door was locked shut, "Sakura, the door… It's locked." Sakura sighed and sat on the ground. Nothing is better than being stuck outside with Sasuke, at night, without a bed, without blankets. I'm freezing.

"I-It's s-so c-cold." I shivered. Sasuke who looked like he was going to kill the door took one glance at Sakura and took off his jacket, and put it around her.

"If we take the front, the guards will find us, plus the gates are locked." Sasuke said, "And if we kick the door down the guards inside will hear us. But if we call Naruto…" he smacked his head with his hand.

"N-Naruto?" I asked him. He nodded. And lend me a hand to get up.

"He's the only one who won't tell my parent's or the other guards where I was." He said, we started to walk towards the front gate.

Sasuke leaned on the gate, "Naruto!" he whispered. Then we both saw a dark shadow coming towards us, "Naruto?" the figure stopped in front of the gate.

"I'm not Naruto." the figure said, "I can't believe you would think I'm Naruto." the figure moved into the light.

The figure was a man. He looked like he was 5' 10'' his hair was spiked. Like a pineapple. He had a frown on his face.

"Shikamaru—"

"I wont tell." The man sighed, "All I wanted to do out here was look at the clouds."

"But there is no clouds." I said, Shikamaru and Sasuke looked at me. Shikamaru sighed and Sasuke chuckled.

"Let's just pretend there is clouds." Shikamaru said as he opened the gate. We both slithered pass him. I muttered a thank you after Shikamaru closed the gate. I walked around the garden looking at all the beautiful red flowers.

"Little brother." Someone said. I jumped back in fear. Who the hell was that! I thought, "Why are you here at this time? Aren't you supposed to be sleeping? Or eating dinner?"

"Itachi…" Sasuke started to say until then man came out into the light, "This is Itachi." Sasuke gritted, "My older brother."

Itachi smiled, "It's a pleasure to meet such a beautiful woman. Especially with Sasuke." He grabbed my hand and kissed it. Sasuke started to get angry. His face scrunched up with anger.

"Itachi!" he hissed. But Itachi just smirked and started to lead me somewhere. Sasuke looked like he was right about to launch himself at him.

"Let me lead you to the dinning room. I bet you starving." He dragged me as I could feel Sasuke glare daggers at Me and Itachi.

We walked passed through trees, to me it looked like we were passing them over and over again, like Itachi never knew what he was doing. A few more trees, and some bushes.

"Where are we going—" I was cut off by Itachi and I making it to a door. It had a fan, half red on top and the bottom was white, just like the ones on the dresses in my room. Itachi pushed the doors open. Reveling the dinning hall.

"There she is." Fugaku said as he held his cup of wine in his right hand. He's drunk. I thought as he had an ear-to-ear smile, "There she is! The all famous Sakura Haruno!" Itachi gripped my arm tightly.

"Father—" Sasuke started but was cut off by his father. I see. He did research on me. Smart. Itachi's grip tightened.

"Sasuke. As I was saying, you are a man," Itachi started to chuckle, "And who is the one to take over the throne—"

"I thought Itachi was going to take over the throne!" Sasuke yelled at him.

"Itachi thought that you'd make a better king for the Uchiha clan." Sasuke just looked at Itachi, "And I usually when the next Uchiha king turns eighteen. He gets one harem from the Haruno clan." He smirked, "I made that new law. Do you like it?"

"I—"

"That's good," Fugaku smirked, "Put Sakura in the cell!" he yelled to his guards. And before long two men grabbed both my arms, and lead me down into the cell.

Well, I have a reason for posting this up late. See I was drinking Jack Daniel's and OMG I had a hangover for 3 days. It was painful! O.o Like, Dislike, Favorite?
