Ch 27: Burn

That was then…

Now, Sasuke hadn't seen me for a while. Lately, he'd been frequently taking 'business' trips out of the country, where he disappeared for months on end. Where he went, who knows? The last time I followed him he ended up in a high-end brothel house by the old Waterfall village. I don't need to tell you what he was doing; you can use your imagination for that.

Let's just say he was temporarily forgetting his wedding vows.

Whatever. Like I care.

Sakura slammed the office doors open and charged in.

There her husband sat in all his Uchiha glory. He still was the handsomest boy Sakura had ever seen, only this time he was a man. By now both Sakura and Sasuke had reached their late twenties and had the mature bodies of a man and a woman.

"Where were you?" Sakura demanded flatly.

"I told you. I was on a business trip," he said calmly, without even looking up from the papers that he was reading.

"You told me?... YOU DIDN'T TELL ME ANYTHING SASUKE! YOU JUST LEFT!" Sakura shrieked and tore the papers right out of his hands. "YOU DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING!"

Sakura was red in the face. Her anger was literally taking control of her. She was pissed! And Sasuke just sat there emotionless as if nothing had happened.

He just smirked and said "Heh. Whatever."

Then he stood up and started to walk away.

Sakura's voice dropped, her face showing signs that she was about to burst. "Where are you going?" she said.

He didn't even reply. He just kept walking.

Sakura wasn't going to let him get away that easily and firmly grabbed his upper arm. She put herself right in front of him, fearlessly facing off with the man she loves. Oh no you don't, mister— you're not getting away that easy!

But Sasuke was having none of that. He jerked himself away from Sakura and started to berate her.

"What the hell do you think you're doing," his voice so low with vehemence it made Sakura wince in fear.

"Sasuke" she whimpered.

But it was too late to take it back. He was already past his boiling point.

"I said WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, SAKURA!"

"I just wanted to know where you were," she whispered while looking at his chest; suddenly too fearful to bring herself to meet his gaze.

Sasuke had never talked to Sakura this way, but then again Sasuke hadn't talked to Sakura in a while. The distance between them clearly changed the way he acted around her.

"We need to get something straight. I'm in charge," he growled, then took hold of her face and snarled, "Don't you forget that."

Then he shoved her back and continued to walk away.

Evil Sasuke was back.

Silent tears made their way down Sakura's face as she quietly wept. She couldn't believe it. She really thought she could change him. She was a fool. Sakura slid down the office wall, put her face in her hands, and proceeded to cry.

What am I going to do? Just what am I going to do?

The next day Sasuke was gone again. He didn't even stay the night. He just left.

Good riddance…

Sakura was an emotional mess; she was done trying. Last night was the last straw.

He obviously didn't care and wanted nothing to do with her. His actions spoke louder than any words could offer.

The question was: What was she going to do?

If she just ended the marriage, Sasuke would just go back to being the evil cold hearted jerk he always was, but this time it wouldn't just affect her.

This was why Sakura had been so persistent on the people not to cause a rebellion, because Sasuke's temper was always right on the edge and Sakura has been dancing with that line for 10 years now.

If Sakura just left him, who would be there to calm Sasuke down and protect the people?

She couldn't flat out leave him, so that was out of the picture. Then what was left?

That was when he came to mind.

Sakura wasn't stupid. She knew Sasuke had the guards watching her every move, so she would have to be slick.

Luckily, during one of the many training sessions she had with Sasuke, Sakura had found out that her natural element was earth.

This, of course, would come in handy for sneaking out of the castle.

She also made sure to put on a disguise before she left. She just put on a cloth over her head to cover her pink hair and put on the longest frumpiest dress she could find in order to look more pleasant.

Ok. Here goes nothing.

Sakura put her hands together and began making hand signs for her burrowing owl technique.

Talon tunnel!

Chakra rushed through her whole body as she became one with the earth. She was literally swimming in the ground as she rushed towards the last place she saw Neji.

Upon arriving Sakura was amazed to find a whole village located deep within the mountain. She thought she would be running into a small cave with a few followers, but no. This was a whole circuit load of people.

Sakura walked through the village and saw a bakery, a blacksmith, a small hospital, a library, and last but not least the place she found Neji the training camp.

Sakura couldn't just go right up to him and say 'hey I want to help you', so she convinced a local boy to pass him a note telling him to meet her behind the library.

Sakura thought that was the quietest place in town with the fewest amount of people.

So she went and waited for him there, plopping herself on top of a wooden outdoor table.

Sure enough, he didn't take long to come and was already on his toes.

He was walking up to her through the back alley when he stopped just before the clearing and leaned on the building. Clearly he was being careful in keeping his distance.

There they were, the last two shinobi of Konoha, just staring into each other's eyes. Measuring each other up to see what the other would do. Then finally Neji broke the silence.

"What are you doing here Sakura?" he questioned in a distrustful voice.

As she looked at him and she felt her heart constrict. She didn't know why she had this funny feeling in her stomach, but she just felt such intense longing from the sight of him.

"I'm here to help you Neji" she answered quietly.

"Hmph, help me?" Neji said as he pushed himself off the wall and walked closer to her. "Last I heard, you were shacking up with the Uchiha and helping him."

"Things have changed, Neji. You have to believe me."

Neji just closed his eyes and shook his head with a smile that told you he's seen way too many betrayals to believe someone so easily. "Why? Why should I believe you when you abandoned us?"

"I didn't know, Neji! Honest. I didn't know." Sakura tearfully said as she started to water up, but she wouldn't let them fall. "I thought I was all alone, that there was no one else. What was I supposed to do? It was just me; I thought that this was the best way to help."

Neji opened his eyes and sadly looked at the ground in remembrance of his Konoha companions. He lifted his gaze, but still had cautious eyes as he started to approach Sakura. Closing the distance between them till he was just a few feet away from her.

"Well, what's changed now?" he muttered.

She couldn't hold it anymore. She just let her tears go; one long tear trailing the next. "It's Sasuke," she said. "He's going back to the way he was. He's becoming evil again."

Neji let out a small huff, "I always knew he would go back to his old ways. He lost himself a long time ago."

Sakura began to cry harder and covered her face with her hands. Neji reached out in an attempt to comfort her by putting a hand on her shoulder, but Sakura had a different idea. She wrapped her arms around him, catching Neji by surprise and hid her face in his shoulder while she wailed out all the pain Sasuke had caused.

Neji could only return the embrace and soothe his Konoha companion while she cried out all her sorrow.

Sakura didn't want to leave, but if she didn't get back to the castle then things would start to look suspicious. So here she was, back in the castle of darkness, pretending to be something she is not.

Her thoughts have been continuously drifting back to the man whose arms she had just spent hours crying in. He held her throughout her entire blubbering breakdown.

How can someone be so gentle yet strong at the same time?

Sakura knew she shouldn't be having such thoughts when she was still a married woman, but the problem was their marriage ended a long time ago. Here Sakura had been trying to fix a marriage that was non-existent. It just took her a little longer to notice that it was over.

Maybe not on paper, but emotionally Sasuke had moved on a long time ago. He probably never truly loved her, he just wanted Sakura because he knew she would be devoted not just to him, but to the entire empire as well.

He used me.

She probably would still be following his orders if she hadn't spotted Neji.

Speaking of which when Sakura got back she and Neji were going to talk about their plans for dealing with Sasuke on their next meeting.

Till then, she was to play the part of the evil queen.

Sakura had just finished up wrapping herself in a towel from her nightly shower and was at the end of her day when suddenly someone grabbed her from behind.

Her attacker pulled her into a tight embrace, immobilizing her every limb.

Fear ran through Sakura's every cell. Just as she was about to scream, he spoke.

"Out of options? You aren't going to scream, are you, Sa-ku-ra?" he says with a smirk on his face.

It was Sasuke. Sasuke was her attacker, but what did he want? He never creepily came up to her and grabbed her from behind.

"Sasuke-kun! You scared me!" she breathlessly said from the fright she just had. "What do you want?"

Sakura could clearly smell the alcohol on his breath and knews he's been to his brothels.

"I've been thinking." He sighed as he pulled her in deeper to his embrace. "Aaand your right. I didn't teeell you where I went."

He started to rub his cheek against hers and then began to lay delicate kisses in the crook of her neck.

Sakura tried not to respond to him: the anger from yesterday still had not left her system.

"No Sasukeee oh stop ah hmm"

She told him to stop, but she didn't put nearly enough emphasis in it. It ended up sounding as if she was enjoying herself. Which she was totally NOT….

Ok you try having an Uchiha suck on your neck and not enjoy it!

She told herself that she was just playing a part, but then he stuck out his tongue and started licking and sucking right on that good spot on her neck. She slowly turned her head to the side to allow him better access. Then she arched her back, causing her lower end to rub against his pelvis, applying just enough pressure to make him take in a breath.

"I think," he whispered in her ear, straining to keep his voice steady, "I should take care of my kingly duties starting right now."

Abruptly he turned her around and yanked her out of her towel. He then dug his hand in her hair and slammed his lips onto hers. He hungrily kissed her like he was a suffocating man and she was his air.

Sakura, by now loving the attention, kissed him back and was led to the edge of their bed.

Along the way, Sasuke hastily took his clothes off and was literally naked as he picked up his wife by her hips and placed her on their bed.

Sasuke got on all fours on top of her and looked down to see an expression of disappointment crossing Sakura's face as they temporarily separated.

He couldn't help but chuckle at the cute noise of frustration she made.

"Heh, don't look so sad Mrs. Uchiha, I'll make you feel good," he murmered lustfully, descending on her body.

He sensuously laid a trail of hot kisses all the way down to her core as she gasped from the sensation.

"Oh Sasuke…" she breathed, as Sasuke began to lick her sensitive spot in between her legs. "Hmm…"

Sakura began to take in short quick pants and looked down to see him preparing to drive his fingers into her.

He glanced up at her then thrust his two fingers in, while locking eyes with her. The whole scene so erotic it immediately brought on a powerful crushing orgasm racing through her entire system.

"Ahh! Sasukeee-!" she screamed. "Oh Yes!"

Sasuke licked her juices clean then brought himself up to her and gave her a kiss, making her taste herself.

He then forcefully positions himself between her legs. He's always been aggressive in bed.

With one swift move Sasuke roughly shoved himself into her; making her scream and give a little jerk off the bed.

He held her down, placing his hands on her hips. She noticed that he was putting as much distance between them as possible. He began rolling his hips into her, grunting every time he nailed it home.

He picked up the speed, sliding faster and faster into her. Eventually, he was pumping into her so fast she had to tell him to slow down.

"Saasuke slow down hah hm you're going to faAAA"

Then, almost as if their souls had intertwined, they both came at the same time, screaming their orgasms into each other.

"AHHAHHHH!"

He just barely was able to keep himself from collapsing on top of her. He put his forehead against hers and arched his back from the little waves of pleasure still running through him.

After the climax had past they just laid there panting from the exertion. Sasuke wearily opened his eyes to gaze into her beautiful green ones.

God the way he looked at her made her want to melt. He glanced at her with such love and adulation, one would think she was his only lifeline in the world. He made her want to start crying from happiness, but just as fast as the sweet moment came, it went.

She had just gently placed her palm right up against the side of his face when he violently shoved it away with his upper arm. He pulled himself up and off of her and put on his black robe.

Before he left he stopped just in front of the door with his back to her.

"Fuck you." He said in a firm voice.

Then he opened the door and left.
