~Day 2~
The next day seemed like it took forever to get here. The storm was still going strong, more than it was when Sakura fell asleep. The door was piled halfway to the giant window with the frozen white flakes. Sakura could see from where she was sitting on the couch with her Seventeen magazine in one hand and holding herself in a fuzzy blanket with her other trying to keep her body from the freezing air that surrounded her.
The fire was still burning, flickering, dancing in the confides of the fire place. The radiated heat was slowly but surly filling the thick air around the small pinkette and raven.
Sasuke, sitting on the brown chair in front of the couch, took in a deep cold breath and let it send shivers down his spine. He'd always preferred colder weather much more then the ninety degrees that blazed around the city in the summer time. Yes, cold weather defiantly suited him better.
"Screw the cold."
A tired and frustrated sigh escaped two perfectly smooth pink, plump lips. Tiny cream colored hands gripped the blanket and pulled it closer around the tiny and fragile body it consumed. It was more then obvious that the young woman on the couch was filled with anger as she looked backward, passed the white, snow-covered window and into the storm.
"Hn, you complain a lot." The raven spoke while rolling his god-like coal eyes.
"Shut it, prick."
"Hn. Annoying."
"Then that makes two of us." She hissed back with venom dripping on every word.
The dark raven haired boy closed his black eyes and laughed. His head flew back in response to his hands sliding over his stomach to hold his sides the burn in pain. Sasuke let out a breath and wiped the outer corner of his eye from the tear that was going to drop. He could barely speak from the attack that he just had. Needless to say, he hadn't laughed that hard in a ver long time.
"Damn, I've missed you feisty side of you Sakura."
Jade eyes rolled, tugging the blanket one more time. She was frustrated and not in any sort of mood to deal with the King of Douches at the moment. It had been a long night and there was still no word on the others to see who or who would not be coming. This damn storm had ruined everything! She was not a happy Sakura and anyone who dared cross the thin line she drew she would have no problem ripping them to shreds. More pleasurably, that 'anyone' being a certain chicken-assed douche bag that sat directly in front of her.
An uncomfortable silence engulfed the room as the two teens had there showdown. They both knew the routine, yell and bicker until one gets tired, that one leaves and the other would be considered the winner until the next round. Which, knowing them, wouldn't be to long after their previous one. For both Sasuke and Sakura, the presence of the other always brought dismay and bloodshed. Snapping out of her very unpleasant thoughts, the pinkette flung the blanket off her body and abruptly stood up. Jade eyes narrowed and pink brows furrowed.
"Yea? Well you fucked that all up didn't you!"
It was a statement, not a question.
Throwing the blanket back to the couch, Sakura shot one more heated glare in Sasuke's direction before storming toward the stairs. For a moment she hesitated the idea of going to her room, the look on that pricks face when she gave up so easily almost made her sick. But at this point she really didn't care. What he had said had been nothing less then a slap in the face to her. Stoping up the wooden stair of the cabin the young girl walked into her room and slammed the door behind her with a very loud thud, leaving a very confused raven behind.
Sasuke watched Sakura leave the living room, her eyes were ablaze and her tiny hands were curled into fists. What had he said that was so bad that pissed her off that much? She never gave up so quickly in their earlier fights so why would this one be any different? Pushing the thought into the back of his mind, the young raven stood up from the brown leather chair and made his way into the kitchen. It was a little after noon and it was time to eat. Digging though the pantry he found something fast and easy. Pulling at the Hamburger Helper her began to look for a pan and heat up the stove.
Cooking his meal and eating didn't take as long as he had planned. Putting all his dirty dishes into the dishwasher and cleaning off the table, he made his way into the living room once more. To his surprise Sakura still had not come down form her bedroom. Normally she would be back for round two in ten minutes or so. Pushing the thought out of his head once again, Sasuke stalked over to the fire place and once again threw a few more log on.
His attention was averted to the 50" LCD TV that hung on the wall right above that fire place. Scanning his surrounding for the remote Sasuke turned that TV on and began flipping through the channels. He sure as hell wasn't going to be watching Jersey Shore or any shit like that. He soon came across one of his favorite shows, Criminal Minds and began to watch. Slumming down in the back of the chair Sasuke had come to the conclusion that he would just sit and wait for Sakura to come down from her room on her own. So he waited.
And he waited.
And waited.
After three hours of watching Derek Morgan but nothing short of a complete badass on Criminal Minds and two more hours of Dr. Reed being the King of Dweebs, five long hours had passed and that damned pinkette had not been down from her room. It was almost time for dinner and Sasuke was hungry -again- so he once again made his way into the kitchen.
Quickly shuffling around to answer his ringing phone, he threw the large box of cereal onto the wooden counter and reached for the waistband of his grey sweat pants to dig out his phone that was firmly planted between his soft skin and the elastic band. Picking it up without anymore hesitation, her flipped the top up and answered in his regular, aggressive tone.
"What the hell do you want?" He barked.
"What, no hello?"
"Spit it out done before I hang up. You have five seconds."
"Have you and Sakura-chan talked?"
Turning his head to appear into the next room, Sasuke looked for any sign of Sakura. Thankfully, there was none. Still not wanting to make any mistake, he shifted to the far end of the large kitchen and placed himself between the oven and sink. Angry and wanting to get this talk over with he wasted no time and averted his attention back to the conversation with the last person on earth he would ever want to talk to this early in the day.
"Naruto you baka, what the fuck am I supposed to say to her? She's nothing but an emotional brat."
"I don't care teme just do something about what happened between you two, it's not like it could possibly get any worse. You fucked her up as bad as you could have just take it back already. Believe it!"
"You truly are an idiot." He said as he hung up the phone on his spunky friend.
Rolling his black orbs at this phone, he could just see this blond friend here now with his idiotic smile telling him to lighten up. Well, this situation was nothing to take lightly. The thought of being stuck here with Sakura for a week killed him, even if the others showed up within the next 24 hours. He had never been one to be to emotionally attached to people but Sakura, good or bad, was always an exception.
Maybe it was the annoying way that she could always find something to smile about, or maybe it was the really annoying way that she could make everyone around her light up and course them to be friends within minutes. No, it HAD to be those stupid annoying way that her green eyes that lit up the whole room, plus with her stupidly soft pink hair.. it was all just, just too annoying! It was all just so much that it no matter what he did, Sakura was never far form being one of the top three things in his mind. And that to him was just too annoying.
What ever way it way, this whole week was going to be a living hell. There was no 'if' 'and' or 'buts' about it.
Sasuke had a veg idea of why Sakura hated him so much, but the full reason was still unknown. Come to think of it.. if he remembered correctly -he always did- it was not his fault that this whole things had turned into such a big mess. It was all hers! Therefor she had no reason to be all pissy and whatnot with him. Oh no. It was her fault that they became like this. She brought them to this point! If she didn't just go off and flirt with every damned guy out there then none of this would have ever happened! Oh, she was going to pay...
'Shits about to get real' He thought to himself.
Walking out of the kitchen, Sasuke made his way up the large flight of stairs and into the upstairs hallway. He was going to corner that pink haired little brat and demand a god damn explanation for the past. Making his way to the wooden door of what was Sakura's room he raised his hand to knock but was quickly interrupted by the sound of her sweetly bitter voice.
"No Ino, I don't like it. Sasuke is nothing but an ass, I hate him and I hate this situation."
There was a silent pause between the girl and Sasuke could do nothing but help himself for listening into the conversation even more. It was easy to say that his blood was boiling, every worse then it was earlier. Hate him? how could she hate him. Sure they bitched at each other like an old married couple but that's how they were, nothing more, nothing less. She had no reason to fucking hate him! After all she was the one who started this whole thing!
Letting a shaky breath escape this lips, Sasuke let him balled fist land back to his side in defeat. He took a few steps away from her door and continued further down the hallway into his room before dropping on the bed, letting out a sigh. Thinking to himself, the raven came to the conclusion that he would do whatever the hell he would have to do to figure out why Sakura hated him. Letting his head fall on the pillow behind him, he pulled up the covers and tried to rest even though he knew that no matter what, sleep would not come to him tonight.
