Holding out.
Chapter 3. Break ups and make ups.
Itachi shook his head and him and Kisame disappeared upstairs, she sat cross legged on the couch, while Naruto and Sasuke stared at her.
"If all you're going to do is stare then I'm leaving." Sakura growled as her head shot towards them.
"S-Sorry Sakura-chan... We've just never met someone like you, a girl anyways... Well you're... you're into video games, and racing and you're a girl!" Naruto blabbed.
"What he means to say is... It's different to meet a girl that is into things like that." Sasuke said with a small smirk.
"Yeah so..." She asked confused.
"Soo! We should be friends! Hang out. fall Inlove!" Naruto daydreamed.
"This is why I hate socializing with my competitors, their all boys so they like me! I don't date competitors!" Sakura said angrily, while she paced back and forth ranting.
"Your dating Neji...you compete with him." Sasuke pointed out.
"He's on my team." She said with a blush.
"Hn... Your interesting that's all I'm saying." Sasuke had to admit he always thought girls were fangirls, but she... She punched him in the nose because he offended her. She stood up for herself, and she raced. She was good, not like the other girls that would say something they didn't know about to catch his attention, no she actually knew, she helped fix the dobes car.
She looked at them skeptically before her phone rang and she answered it.
"What now Ino?" Sakura asked impatiently.
"Dude were all going to DIE!" Ino screeched and Sakura pulled the phone away from her ear.
"Shut up! What are you talking about?" Sakura asked.
"Were having tornado warnings! Take shelter! God I hate the sound of those damn screeching things!" She complained.
"Now you know what it's like to talk to you." Sakura Said with a smirk.
"WHY YOU LITTLE BITCH!" Ino yelled and Sakura dropped the phone and held her right ear.
"Dammit Ino shut the hell up, why are we having Tornado warnings?" Sakura asked her voice edgy in frustration.
"Because a tornado landed somewhere about forty miles away! Just stay safe forehead and party's off so you got out of it this time." Ino said before hanging up.
"My Car! Oh my god! Do you have another garage or something!" Sakura said quickly and tugged on Sasukes arm.
Hail started and Sakura let a small scream escape her throat.
"Sasuke! Garage!" She freaked.
"Yes common." He said and she hugged him, not really thinking about the action. Her arms encircled his neck and she pressed her body against his, she squeezed tight and then jumped off of him, taking his arm and pulling him up the stairs. Sasuke was shocked that the girl was so moody, from being suspicious to angry to concerned to happy.
He felt color rise to his cheeks and he blushed at the small contact, the female body pressed against his enlightened hidden fantasies. Want. He ran up the stairs behind the girl, she didn't have to pull him but he reluctantly followed and didn't oblige to the action.
Naruto pouted and followed Sasuke up the stairs. When the got up the stairs Sasuke pulled Sakura back and headed for a different way than the front door, she followed behind hand still crumpling his arm sleeve.
The got outside and he said "Naruto open the garage, Sakura and I will get the car. He grabbed her wrist and ran, towards her expensive car, both were being pelted by rain and hail. Sakura squeaked every now and then. They made it to the car and found no damage.
Sasuke got in drivers seat, and Sakura got in passenger seat. She flopped down in the seat and turned to buckle her seat belt, her breath came out ragged, and laborious, when she looked up Sasuke was two inches away from her face. She looked at him for the first time, well she'd seen him before but really looked at him.
He had dark eyes that weren't quiet black, but a deep red and purple mix, it was amazing. Almost onyx. He had a fire jawline, and small cheekbones, he was naturally pale but also a fare tan, his ears were medium sized almost a little small, he had a clean shave and his eyebrows were perfect, just manly but not bushy, they had arch to them, natural not waxed. His lips were a light pink, and a little chapped they challenged to be claimed. He had a small splotch of skin over his nose where it was swollen, and a darker skin color.
She pulled herself out of her daze and sat in her back in her chair, almost cowering from him. She wanted out of the car as soon as possible. She snuck a glance at the handsome teen, she didn't look at his face but the next best spot... His skin tight clothes and abs. His muscles rippled from the cold rain, while his black spiky hair flattened around his face, what would it be like to be in bed with... No! She told herself firmly.
Sasuke looked up from buckling the seat belt, and was met with a pink head looking down, trying to get her seat belt. She was breathing rapidly as was he. Her face highered and they made eye contact, he studied her pale looking face, he started with her wet pink hair.
It was a little messy, but overall it just tangled together and fell in her face and around her Body, her cheeks were tinted pink from running and the cold she had high cheek bones, her eyebrows were naturally arched and shaped well, her face was thin and healthy. She was really quiet beautiful she had minimum make up on, she didn't wear foundation.
He would have seen skin colored stuff leaking off her face if she did, her make up wasn't out there or anything but natural, she didn't draw much attention to herself her hair did that already. He noted her lips were a mix between a light red and a dark pink, they had a light gloss over them. Her pink tongue darted out and wet her lips, what would it be like to taste her tongue to explore her mout... What the hell was he thinking...
He looked down and saw her barefooted, he let a ghost of a smirk cover his lips. Her long legs were slightly glistened with water droplets, she was tan and he guessed she Ran or else she wouldn't have such a nice body, her jean shorts were wet and she was shivering.
Her white shirt stuck to her body and exposed her flat stomach and the small tanned skin underneath, he saw her yellow, pink and blue zebra bra and quickly looked away, he felt his neck on fire.
"S-Sorry... For punching You in the nose... I might have taken things... Too far." Sakura Said with a small smile, but she wouldn't make eye contact with him.
"I deserved it." Sasuke said before looking for the key.
"Suzuki... Start." Sakura commanded and the Car roared to life.
"The car is voice programmed, I left my keys inside so it's my back up." She said with a small smile.
Sasuke nodded and drove the car into the garage. The blond shut the garage door, and Sakura got out of the car, she walked around the car expecting damage. She let out a relieved sigh when it was perfect. The lights flickered and then went out.
"Sasuke... Naruto.!?" She asked in a quiet voice.
"BOO!" Naruto yelled in front of her with a flash light to his face, she jumped back and hit a solid chest, with a startled scream. She pushed off Sasuke and was met with Naruto in front if her.
Sasuke pushed Naruto out of the way and grabbed her wrist, he pulled her through the garage. When he got inside he pulled her to the basement, she tumbled down the steps and he ended up catching her.
"Where'd are parents go? And Itachi and that creepy blue guy? And Naruto?" Sakura asked the only one in the room.
"Are parents are probably in the more advanced tornado shelter, they probably went there while we got the car, Naruto probably joined them, Itachi left with Kisame a while ago." Sasuke answered, and lite four candles, he continued lighting the candles he found.
"Why don't we go to the tornado shelter thing?" She asked getting up off the couch and grabbing a lighter to help with providing light.
"Because that would mean going out there." he said pointing to the window, which showed the goofball sized hail, the heavy rain and the torturous wind storm going on, and the dark sky shielding the sun.
"Oh." she said while she walked closer to the window and rested her arms on the sill, she looked out at the sky.
He went to the TV and turned it on.
"I thought we didn't have power?" She asked.
"We don't... not lights, but are electronics are a different system, so they work." He said and she nodded.
She went and sat on the couch, she stopped when he heard her name on the Tv.
"Sakura Haruno's bets for a successful season are sky rocketing, it looks like millions think this young girl has what it takes to win, do you?...So get this... Sakura is seventeen years old, still in high school, she's currently an A honor-role student, and ontop of that the Varsity Cheer squads captain. This girl is truly amazing... She took first last year, will she be able to beat the Uchiha and her team mate and boyfriend Neji Hyuuga?" The news caster asked.
"Turn it off." Sakura said her voice quivering.
"Hn." Sasuke said while he flipped channels.
"Later tonight well be talking about the upcoming Races... Did you hear The little Haruno, the only girl racer will be going up against tougher people this time?" another channel advertised the race.
"Can... we turn... the T-TV off?" She snapped while her voice gave way to emotions.
"Click." Sasuke changed the channel ignoring her, he stopped at the next channel.
I think you'd like to hear some good news... Or gossip anyways. Neji Hyuuga was spotted with another girl not the beloved pink haired Haruno, no another girl. He was placing a kiss on her cheek while his arm was around her waist." The news reporter said while pictures flashed on the screen.
It showed her long haired Hyuuga holding a short black haired girl. She had a smile on her face, as Neji had a smirk. Sakura's heart broke at the scene of Neji with another girl. Another picture showed them walking hand and hand on another day, and one of her on the back of his motorcycle with his helmet on.
Silent tears streamed down her cheeks. As reality hit her, Neji had been cheating on her. He'd probably been cheating on her sense the second month when she found him the first time. She got up and started to run up the stairs, she tripped and cursed.
"S-Shit... D-D-Dam-mmit...!" She cursed as she stumbled to the top of the stairs, she was sobbing and hyperventilating. She slipped to the ground out of breath, her hair in her face and her body not taking the sudden shock.
She expected her knees to hit the ground but instead she felt warm, strong arms encircle her body and Haul her upwards, into their chest.
"H-He... CC-C-Che...ated... On me-ee." She gasped in oxygen and the heavily scent of her protector.
"Then he's stupid... Right now so are we... We need to stay in the basement." Sasuke said and gently picked up the broken girl, he placed one arm under her knees, and the other supported her back, she curled up into his solid chest.
He hadn't known Sakura long, hell he just met her today. But he knew... he knew that she wasn't suppose to be crying that she didn't cry, she was a tough girl, a happy girl, but this stupid guy just knocked her down. He growled and went down the stairs.
He placed Sakura on his bed, and was about to leave when she whispered "D-Don't leave... Pl..lease..." her emerald orbs shinned over with crystal tears, he sighed and laid down on the bed beside her, she curled into his body and cried.
He felt a pang of anger and protectiveness stir in his stomach, she didn't deserve this, hell neither did he. Why was he stuck with the delirious girl, maybe I should leave? He thought, she did punch me earlier today... He was about to walk away when A phone rang and Sakura stopped crying.
"I-It's N-N-Nej-I C.." Sasuke seemed to get what she was choking out, he got her phone and leaned against the door frame, so Sakura could see him and hear the conversation.
"Sakura!" Neji's voice resounded from the pink iPhone.
"I was concerned I haven't heard from you sense earlier this evening, are you alright. I'm on my way to your house right now?" he reinsured.
"Hyuuga. She's not at her house, she's at mine." Sasuke said very coldly, Sakura winced at his tone. He was angry and it was evident but why... Why would he be angry at Neji?
"What's she doing there!?" Neji growled.
"Why do you have her phone?!" Neji spat the last.
Sasuke smirked. "She staid over sense the weather sucks, she doesn't want to talk to you, so I answered." Sasuke snapped.
"Why?" Neji growled and turned his car around and headed towards the Uchiha mansion.
"Maybe because you've been cheating on her...No that's not it maybe because You've been lying to her...?" Sasuke half sneered half aske he heard Sakura gasp in breath and muffle a cry.
"That's low to assume Uchiha." Neji growled.
"I'm not assuming some paparazzi caught a few cute pictures of you and your other significant." Sasuke snarled and saw Sakura shed a few more tears.
"Let me talk to her! It's a misunderstanding." Neji said and Sasuke stepped forward and sat on the corner of the bed, beside a broken Sakura.
"She's in no state to be told lies..." Sasuke growled and looked at Sakura who half nodded half shook.
"I'm on my way, you can't stop me from seeing my girlfriend." Neji growled.
"Oh come if you want, just you won't get past my front gates, plus she doesn't want to see you. Take a hint." Sasuke sneered and ended the call.
Sakura looked at the floor while the tears slid down her face, he maker up slowly washing away. Sasuke sighed and took her hand, he crawled back into bed and she resumed silent crying into his hard chest.
"Congrats your single... Now." He said sarcastically.
She laughed, and looked up at him, tears in her eyes, but she had a lopsided smile on her face.
"Y-Your right... I guess. I haven't officially ended the relationship but I want to do that face to face... I think... I've forgotten what it feels like to be... Single." She said with a small laugh while she blew her nose and wiped the trail of mascara away.
"I'd describe it as... Freedom. No one to boss you around, you can flirt or ignore boys." Sasuke said with a smirk, she'd cried for sixty two minutes, and now she looked hurt but better.
"You didn't show me this.. Side of you today?" She said with a small smirk as her eyes narrowed teasingly.
"You didn't show me this side of you either! But I did see a good side of your fist." He said and she howled with laughter, he found himself stifling a laugh as well.
"Uchiha-San... There is a strange white-eyed brown haired teenage boy here... Do you know anything about him.. He requests to see Sakura-San." The butler said with a small bow.
"See to it that he leaves, there's nothing here for him... Not anymore." Sasuke said and Sakura nodded.
"S-Sasuke... Thank you... Seriously thank you... For just letting me be a burden ...and cry for an hour.." She said and hugged him, her breasts pressing up against his hard body, she sighed and he slowly wrapped an arm around her waist, he pulled her body further onto his.
She laughed into his chest and gently pushed him backwards, he reluctantly laid down, with the girl in his arms, and on his body. Her sweet rich scent reached his nose, he was getting high off of her.
After a few minutes her breathe became calmer and slower, he knew she was asleep. He tightened his hold on the delicate girl. Funny how things work out, she's available and shes not a fangirl. She really is different with those few thoughts he fell asleep in a safe haven of cherry blossoms, and pink.
