" Come Together"

Chapter 17 " An Old Face Appears"

It had been a week since Sakura was staying over at the Uchiha's house. She seemed to be doing a little bit better, she was still very tired but she didn't get sick that much anymore.

Sasuke had been over protective of her and making sure she was always okay.

Itachi was also helping out with them, by always ordering delivery or take out since he knew Sakura needed real food and not ramen.

Naruto would come by everyday to give her and Sasuke their homework and all the gossip they were missing out at school. Apparently there is a new student at school who will be in some of the same classes as Sakura and Sasuke and he started to become friends with Naruto and the rest of the group.

Sai went on tour with the rest of his band but he always made sure that he would call Sakura at least once a day to see how things were.

Everyone else would come over and visit a whole bunch of times and would hang out with them.

It was a Saturday afternoon and Sakura and Sasuke were cuddling with each other on his bed while watching the television in his room. Suddenly Sasuke's cell phone rang and picked it up to see who it was.

" Who is it?" Sakura said as she lifted her head up to look at her boyfriend's expression.

" Dobe." Sasuke stated and answered the phone.

" Hello?"

" Hey Teme, what are you and Sakura up to?"

" Nothing. You?"

" Well I figured if it's okay with you, have everyone come over there later today and hang out. I can also bring Kyo, the new student to hang out with us since you guys haven't met him yet."

" Hold on."

Sasuke pulled the phone away from his ear and placed his hand over the phone so Naruto couldn't hear him talking to Sakura.

" He wants to see if we want to hang out." Sasuke stated.

" Sure!"

Sakura said in her usual cheery voice as she watched Sasuke let out a sigh and put the phone back to his ear.

" Fine."

" Okay great we will be over there later on bye!"

Sasuke hung up the phone without saying goodbye and went back to snuggling with Sakura. His head resting next to her neck, breathing in her hair's aroma while his arms were protecivly around her waist. Sakura placed one of her arms and placed it on his back side, rubbing it in an affectionate way. They stayed like that for the next half an hour while Sasuke took a quick nap while Sakura stayed up and watched a movie. During the movie, Sakura all of the sudden started to be getting a headache. It was hurting her so badly she jolted up from the bed, waking up her boyfriend.

" Sakura? What's wrong?"

Sasuke asked in concern as he sat up and held her in his arms while her hands were pressed against the sides of her head.

" I have a really bad headache."

Sakura cried out in pain as Sasuke carefully placed Sakura laying back down on the bed.

" I'm sorry but I can't give you any medicine to help it. Is there anything else I can do for you baby?"

Sasuke asked as he still sat up while looking into her eyes. He always hated it when she was in pain and felt helpless when he couldn't do a thing about it but he always tries his best. She couldn't take any headache medicine because of the medication she was already taking.

" Make it go away. Please."

Sakura said softly as she placed her hands onto his shirt and grabbed the material to pull him in for a kiss. He gladly accepted the kiss and deepened it more then licked her bottom lip and she immediately opened up her mouth to taste all of him. Sasuke place both of his hands on both sides of Sakura so he couldn't crush her. Sasuke was a little surprised when he felt Sakura move one of her hands and took a hold of one of his and gently placed it on one of her breast. Sasuke pulled away from the kiss and leaned back a little bit so he could look at Sakura in the eyes.

" Sakura, you are too sick to do something like that. We can do this after you get better okay?" Sasuke said as he tried to remove his hand from her chest but was stopped by her.

" Sasuke... thank you for being so sweet... but do you think we can mess around a little bit?"

Sakura asked. Sasuke knew she wasn't a hundred percent herself because she had took her medicine a while ago and it would make her a tiny bit out of it like having a small buzz from drinking. He knew she wanted this and all he wanted to do was to make her feel better. Sasuke looked away from her eye contact and let out a heavy sigh then turned back to look at her pretty green eyes.

" Alright, we can have a little fun but nothing below our waists okay? I don't want to do anything down there until you are completely well."

Sasuke said as he dip his head back to hers and began to kiss her once again. Sasuke then started kissing her jawline then went down to her neck, giving her extra attention there. Sakura slowly put her hands down his shirt and began taking it off. Sasuke broke the kiss and helped her out until he shirt was completely off and tossed it to the floor. Then he put his hands on her shirt and took it off as well and tossed it on top of his. He looked down at her and thought that Sakura was the most beautiful woman ever and he never wanted anyone else to look at her like the way he was looking at her right now. He leaned down and took one of her breast into his mouth, sucking it lightly as his other hand grabbed the other one. It excited him when she started to moan and felt her hands on his head, urging him to continue. Suddenly the door swung open to reveal Naruto rushing into the room.

" Teme! What the hell are you doing?" Naruto yelled out while pointing at the two. Sasuke immediately covered Sakura up with a sheet while Sakura was blushing all too hard.

" Dobe! Get out of here! It's called knocking!" Sasuke yelled out.

" Well you were the one to get rid of your lock on the door." Naruto said.

" Yeah in case Sakura was locked in here and she needed me idiot!"

Sasuke yelled out again. After Sakura moved in, he had his lock removed from his door in case something had happened to Sakura and he needed to get to her.

" Okay I will leave I just wanted to let you know everyone is here including the new student I wanted you guys to meet." Naruto said.

" Leave." Sasuke said bluntly.

" Fine! Well when you guys are done fooling around, come down stairs where everyone else is at."

Naruto said as he closed the door, leaving the two teens behind him. Sasuke got up from the bed and picked up both of their shirts that were on the floor and handed Sakura's hers.

" Thanks Sasuke." Sakura said before putting her shirt back on while he did the same.

" Hn. Are you feeling any better?" Sasuke asked.

" Yep my headache went away. Usually when I get headaches like that and I can't take anything for them, doing stuff like um what we just did most of the time makes them go away." Sakura said while slightly blushing.

" How would you know oh wait never mind."

Sasuke stopped himself. He had forgotten at that moment that Sai used to take care of her whenever she was sick and they did have a history together. Sakura stood up from the bed and gave her boyfriend a kiss on the cheek.

" That was amazing Sasuke. I can't wait until I get better."

Sakura said seductively then started to giggle when a blush appeared on his face then turned away. Sakura grabbed his hand and lead him out of the bedroom.

" Come on Sasuke, everyone is waiting for us and I bet Naruto already told everyone downstairs about what he saw." Sakura said.

" Hn."

Sasuke agreed and followed her down the stairs and appeared in the living room where everyone was hanging out at. Sakura looked around the area and saw all of her friends then frooze when she also saw a familiar face sitting in the Uchiha's living room, her cousin Kyo.

Kyo was her Aunt Zelda's oldest son and was also like his mother and blamed Sakura for the death of her mother. His best friend back in high school was also the one who ended up raping Sakura. After Sakura's mother died, her Aunt Zelda and Kyo came to visit Sand Country for the whole month for the funeral and Kyo's best friend decided to tag along. Kyo and his friend heard about a party and decided to go and when they both saw Sakura there, Kyo told his friend to make Sakura pay for what she did so his friend manage to get her in a room and rape her. Ever since then, Sakura refused to talk to him and when she told her aunt what happened, she didn't believe her and beated her up.

" About time you two came down here. I told you guys they were fooling around!" Naruto yelled out.

" Dobe!"

Sasuke yelled out and was about to charge forward at him when he noticed he was held back. He forgot that him and Sakura were still holding hands and when he turned around to look at her, he was shocked to find here eyes fixated on something. He couldn't help but noticed a bit of fear in them.

" Sakura?"

Sasuke asked in concern while Kyo heard a familiar name and turned his head and was amazed to see Sakura standing in the same room as him. He can tell she was staring at him with fear in her eyes which caused him to smirk at her. Sakura saw the movement the male had made and before Sasuke could do anything, she rushed back upstairs to their bedroom.

" Sakura!" Sasuke yelled out as he watched his girlfriend retreat into the bedroom.

" What is up with her?" Ino asked.

" Well she did have a really bad headache earlier, I guess it came back. I'll go check up on her while you guys stay here." Sasuke said then ran upstairs while everyone else stayed put.

" I hope she is going to be okay, must be hard on her." Hinata said.

" This is all my fault, I should go." Kyo said as he stood up to leave.

" Wait what are you talking about?" Asked Naruto.

" Well you see, Sakura is my cousin and my aunt never liked her and blames her for her sister's death. I have always admired Sakura but like I said my mother hates her so Sakura probably hates me too." Kyo said with a sad tone of voice while looking down on the floor. Everyone around him couldn't help but feel bad for him.

" It's okay man, Sakura doesn't hate anyone but maybe if you talk to her, you two can become friends." Neji said as he patted Kyo on the back. Just then there was a door opening then closed and everyone turned to see Itachi walking in.

" Well it looks like you guys are having a party."

Itachi joked as he looked at everyone the noticed a new face to the group. He couldn't help but think that the male looked awfully familiar.

" Hey Itachi, this is Kyo, Sakura's cousin. He got transferred to our school this week and so we brought him over to meet Sakura and Sasuke but then Sakura suddenly left." Shikamaru said.

" Yeah Sasuke went up to check up on her thinking she has a headache." Ino said.

" Ah I see. Well I need to go ask my brother something anyway." Itachi said as he started to walk up the stairs.

' I knew he looked familiar. That fucking bastard, I should go check up on Sakura.' Itachi thought to himself.

Sasuke walked into his bedroom to see Sakura sitting on the bed, breathing heavily as she was staring at the wall.

" Sakura, what's wrong?"

Sasuke asked as he walked over to his girlfriend and took a seat beside her while wrapping his arm around her shoulder. Sakura snapped out of her daze and looked up to her concern boyfriend but then there was a knock at the door.

" Come In."

Sasuke yelled out and the door opened, revealing Itachi as he walked in the bedroom and closed the door behind him and walked up to the couple.

" What's up Itachi?" Sasuke asked out.

" Nothing much, I just got home myself. So Sakura, did you see your cousin downstairs?" Itachi rose an eyebrow.

" What? Cousin?" Sasuke asked then turned his head to look at Sakura who was looking at Itachi.

" Yeah I did." Sakura said harshly.

" Can someone tell me what the hell is going on here?" Sasuke raised his voice, causing Itachi to chuckle at his outburst.

" I'm sorry Sasuke, did you see the new guy downstairs?" Sakura asked and saw he boyfriend nod his head.

" His name is Kyo, my cousin. His mother was the one who beated me up when I first moved here." Sakura said.

" He was also best friends with the guy who raped her. He paid his friend to take advantage of her after her mom died." Itachi added.

" What? And that asshole is in our living room? I'm going to fucking kill him." Sasuke growled out then stood up then there was another knock on the door.

" Come in!" Sasuke said out in an angry tone of voice. The door opened up and this time Naruto and Kyo came into the room.

" Get that asshole out of my room before I kill him with my own fists!" Sasuke yelled out as he pointed to Kyo.

" Wow chill out dude, Kyo here wanted to talk to Sakura." Naruto said.

" I have nothing to say to him." Sakura said as she stood up from the bed and stood behind Sasuke.

" Sakura, I wanted to come up here and to apologize to you." Kyo began to speak while slowly walking towards her.

" I know my mother still hates you but I know it wasn't your fault about the death of your mom and I'm really sorry for how I used to behave but I promised you, I have change." Kyo told Sakura with guilt in his eyes.

" I'll think about it okay? I have a really bad headache so maybe we can talk about it when I get back to school okay?" Sakura asked while shocking Sasuke and Itachi.

" Great well I will see you then and I hope you feel better." Kyo said as he walked out of the room.

" Well I guess all of us will head out now since you aren't feeling well but I will call you guys later." Naruto said.

" Okay bye Naruto and tell everyone that I'm sorry." Sakura said.

" Don't be, we all care about you feeling better Sakura so get plenty of rest." Naruto said as he walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.

Sasuke and Itachi then turned to look at Sakura while she took a seat back on the bed.

" Sakura, do you actually believe him?" Sasuke asked his girlfriend as he also took a seat next to her.

" Of course not but I don't want the others to know about this. I don't want to make a big deal in case he did mean what he said." Sakura said.

" That's a good idea, I still don't trust the guy. Sasuke you will have to be extra protective of her while he's around okay?" Itachi said which caused Sakura to giggle.

" I don't think Sasuke will have a problem with that." Sakura said as she snuggled next to her boyfriend, causing him to lightly blush.

" Hn." Sasuke responded.

" Well I will leave you two love birds alone." Itachi said then walked out of the room.

" Are you okay?" Sasuke asked her before giving her a soft kiss on her forehead.

" I am now. But that is all thanks to you."

Sakura said as she wrapped her arms around his neck as he placed his arms around her waist and held each other as if they were the only ones in their lives that mattered to them at the moment.
