Robot Love
Chapter two- First Kiss
"Uchiha…. Sasuke?" That rings a bell. Where have I heard it before?
"Well you see, the description that you gave kind of reminded me of Uchiha Itachi, you remember him? So I made this, Sasuke, quite similar to Itachi. Can you see the resemblance?" Ah, Itachi Uchiha. He was Kakashi's old business partner, the handsome one. He used to hangout here at the house a lot when I was fifteen and it's been almost two years since I last saw him. I used to blush a lot when he was around, I can't blame myself. Itachi was so handsome and sweet and definitely too young to take over their company. There was one guy, Deidara I think, who used to come with Itachi here. The rest, I can't remember.
Now that Kakashi reminded me of Itachi, god! Sasuke really does look like him! And it's creepy. "Is Itachi cool with it?" I asked.
"Of course. I already figured everything out. He agreed to play as Sasuke's brother, you know, just for extensive purposes, but Sasuke's staying with us. Actually, Itachi was excited when I told him about my invention and even told me that he'll pay a visit when things at work have loosened up." Wow, Itachi's going to visit. He's a busy man; it must be hard to look for a free time.
I started thinking about the old times and then it hit me. "..but Sasuke's staying with us." What? This beautiful thing here will be staying with us? Crap, I can't breathe!!!!
"Sakura, what's wrong with you?" Kakashi suddenly left the spot where he was standing and went to me. "You turned pale all of a sudden, hey! Get a grip!" He told me and shook my shoulders. "Wait Kakashi, give me a minute please!" I closed my eyes, and took in a huge amount of air using my mouth. I didn't know that I was capable of reacting like that. This was a first. Collect yourself, breath Sakura!
I kept my eyes closed and exhaled. Finally, I opened my eyes after my hyperventilation finally stopped.
"Sakura, are you all right now? What happened?" Kakashi asked me again. He looked worried but I'm not going to tell him that I got pale all of a sudden because I heard that this thing is going to stay with us! That's downright embarrassing!
"Nothing, nothing. I'm fine now thanks. Anyway, how does this thing work? What does it do?" I cleared my throat and started a new subject. My gaze turned to the glorious creature again who is now on the floor. Geez, I should start calling it Sasuke from now on.
Sasuke, what a beautiful name for a perfect body and face. I wonder if I will ever get used to its perfection. I just can't imagine seeing this thing move.
"Ok, it's quite easy to turn this thing on. I wasn't able to create a manual so I'll just explain everything to you before we activate it. Are you ready?"
"Yeah, go on," I replied to Kakashi but still didn't leave my eyes off the robot. The next time that I will look at it, I should take precautions because you know, the moment that I lay my eyes on it, I will not be able to remove my eyes from it anymore. It's as if I can look at it forever without getting bored. I wonder if Kakashi should put that as a warning when he makes the manual. Something like Warning: Extremely addicting to look at or maybe something like Warning: Causes hyperventilation and a new habit. New habit as in the habit of looking at it for hours.
"You should listen to me, Sakura." Kakashi sighed.
"I'm listening," I just noticed, Kakashi clothed it with his own clothes. It is wearing a plain white shirt and a pair of old jeans. Actually, it's making me jealous how it still manages to look extremely gorgeous with just a plain white shirt. Oh, maybe I should really start using he instead of it.
"You are not. What I meant was, look at me AND listen." Kakashi used his 'fatherly' tone and I was forced to stop looking at the thing, err, Sasuke.
"Fine, I'm looking at you." I told him and tried my best to lock my gaze at his face although I would still steal glances at Sasuke (Finally, I said it) once in a while. I can't help it!
"Good," my dad muttered and I raised a brow, signaling him to continue. "I need to explain things to you so listen. After you activate it, you cannot deactivate it anymore and it will start moving on its free will. It will move, speak and think like a human does. Also, I programmed Sasuke just as you wanted me to. He possesses the characteristics that you mentioned to me but he will still act on his own so it still depends on him. He knows everything that you have learned, probably more than you know. I'm not sure if he has more to learn but I have already programmed in his mind everything that I can, like basic greetings and stuff like that. We should guide it and make it act like a real human. If you teach him anything or just simply say something to him, you just have to say that he has to remember it and everything will be recorded in his mind and he will not forget it. He has an incredibly huge memory so if you're thinking that it will blow out because of too much information, Sasuke will not." Kakashi smiled at me after his long speech. It seemed like he read my mind. Well, Sasuke… he's amazing. I've never ever thought that something like him is possible.
"Does he eat?" I asked, extremely curious. If he acts like a human then he should probably eat since it's a basic necessity. People might find him weird if he doesn't eat.
"He may eat, he may not. Solid food will immediately be broken down right after he takes it in while liquids will either be used inside his body or he may take it out, just like a human does. You know what I mean." Yup, I understood that. So Sasuke will be able to survive in the desert, great.
"Does it need to take a bath?" I asked again while Kakashi started filling out blank spaces in my mind about the creature. Gee, I said I should really start calling it by its name! And I should really start addressing it like a real boy.
"Of course," Kakashi chuckled. It looks like he read my mind again. I was actually thinking that Sasuke might get destroyed if he gets wet.
"Does Sasuke needs some sleep?" Again, I was curious.
"Yup, just like us, sleep will recharge him but sunlight will recharge him faster." I didn't know that the sun could be useful to robots too. I always feel strong and energized after going under the sun, it works for them too.
"Wow, Sasuke is an amazing invention! I didn't know that something like that is possible! You're really awesome Kakashi!" I gave him a grin and he stretched out his arms, waiting for a hug. I didn't hesitate as I went straight to him to give him an embrace.
"Happy Birthday," he said to me and I nodded, going back to where I sat awhile ago.
"So, how do you turn it on?" I asked, glad that all the explaining was done and I will finally be able to see Sasuke move.
"You will kiss it," he smiled innocently while I panicked immediately. Is he crazy?
"What?" I asked, bewildered. My mind is going crazy again, no hyperventilation please!
"You will kiss it on the lips and it will move."
"Are you crazy? Why don't you kiss it? Why me?" I pointed at Kakashi and blushed a little while he chuckled.
"Listen," he started as I tried not to hyperventilate again. "After you kiss it, it will move. It's not that simple. Hmm, I think I should start calling it Sasuke too. Well, so Sasuke will form an 'affection', in human terms, towards the one who kisses it and gives him life." He smiled innocently again. I hate it.
"And how does that 'affection' that you're telling help me?" I crossed my arms stubbornly, that 'affection' thing is crazy! No way, I will never kiss him. I will never give away my first kiss to a robot. I know it's tempting since he's so, so handsome but come on, I want my first kiss to be romantic. It's important to me!
"He will listen to you and do almost anything that you want him to, like he'll be attached to you." Hmm, well that's really tempting.
"What happens next?" I loosened my arms that were crossed in front of me. I hope that Kakashi didn't notice that I was convinced by his previous sentence. Heh.
"Let me tell you this," Kakashi smirked. "When he's already turned on… You can make it yours." He didn't remove his smirk and I was confused again. What's this now? I thought Sasuke's mine already? I mean, he's my birthday gift, doesn't that make him mine?
"Just one kiss again Sakura, and he's all yours." What??
"What do you mean?" Is this man serious?
"He'll fall in love with you, and see you as his girlfriend. Simple." So he needs a second kiss? A kiss? For him to be mine??
"Fine, I'll kiss him so he'll be activated." I pursed my lips and tried to convince myself that this kiss is not a really big thing. Just one kiss, the other kiss can dream forever. Not something big Sakura, not something big. I really need to get out of my fairytales.
"Good," Kakashi smirked again and we went towards the 'sleeping' robot named Sasuke that Kakashi invented.
I kneeled and stretched out my one hand to touch it first. He was the one who was supposed to flinch at my sudden touch but apparently, he's sleeping and I nearly jumped when I touched him. He's skin was the softest thing I have ever held into. It reminded me of velvet and the skin of a baby. It's so smooth and unexpectedly warm that I couldn't get my hands off it.
Suddenly, I thanked myself that I take care of my skin because if not, I'll probably look like a nobody in front of a really gorgeous model.
"Here goes nothing," I muttered when I was finally done praising Sasuke's skin and leaned forward to kiss it. "Wait," Kakashi interrupted and I groaned. "What?"
"I just want to remind you," he looked serious all of a sudden. "After you kiss it, it will start moving on its own and so will you. What I mean is, if by any chance you give him the second kiss and he becomes yours, we both know that you're smart to think what is right and what is dangerous." He looked at me straight in the eye with so much sincerity. I understood Kakashi perfectly. Everything he said went straight to my head and I nodded at him. He was warning me. He was giving me a warning that seems inappropriate for me. Come on, falling in love with a robot, even if he's so freaking perfect, is impossible. Impossible, really impossible!
"Yeah, I know my limits. I'm not that desperate you know," I assured him and he seemed cool about it because I saw his mask stretch a little, a sign that he smiled.
"Come on, I know you can't wait for it to move," Kakashi said and I nodded again.
I moved my head closer to Sasuke's , moving inch by inch until my lips finally touched his. Soft, just like his skin and it felt good, in an odd way.
I closed my eyes, for it felt weird to kiss with your eyes open. I counted 5 seconds in my head and pulled away, but someone held the back of my head, making me unable to pull back from my kiss. What is this?
I opened my eyes and in an instant, thought that I was drowning. Drowning in the most mysterious, dark but beautiful eyes I have ever seen. These eyes completed everything and Sasuke's eyes made the hot, the hottest.
"Mmmm," I tried to protest, but instead, moans came out from my mouth when the motionless lips I had touched a while ago moved. It danced with mine and I unintentionally gave in as fast as a gunshot. Then the 5 still seconds became 10 heavenly seconds. You're better than this Sakura, I reminded myself and tried to pull away but only found myself kissing him more. I never knew that I could kiss this good, or maybe it was just Sasuke who was the expert. After 2 more seconds, Sasuke finally pulled back. I didn't know if I should be glad or what. For a second there, I thought of kissing him again but that would be the second kiss already and there's no way I would let this thing fall in love with me.
I stood up, stepped back wide-eyed and held my lips. I glanced at Kakashi who was smirking and glanced back at Sasuke who is now sitting up. I suddenly felt embarrassed at Kakashi, he didn't have to see me kiss!
"Success!" Kakashi spoke in delight. I wanted to celebrate with him but I couldn't find my voice. Unexpectedly, I found myself kneeling again, my body moving on its own.
"You," I whispered and touched the robot's left cheek with my right hand. "You're real," I managed to say, "and moving."
"Hn."
My eyes widened again when I heard his voice. I heard Sasuke's voice, for the first time. It was deep, so manly, so calm and smooth, a little blank but wonderful.
"Hello Sasuke," Kakashi said with a grin and Sasuke stood up, leaving me on the floor, obviously dumbfounded. "I'm Kakashi, and this is Sakura," then Sasuke smirked.
And I swear to god, if hadn't known self-control better, I would have fainted.
I don't understand why Kakashi and Sasuke are able to talk so smoothly. Just awhile ago when we started to eat, Kakashi explained to Sasuke everything about what he is and I just listened the whole time. Now, they are already talking casually. Kakashi is the one giving information and stories while I sit here, blushing and feeling nervous for no reason.
"So, is it alright for me to just call you Sakura?" I heard Sasuke ask but I wasn't really paying attention. My heart's thumping really fast, and I would do anything to slow it down!
Kakashi cleared his throat.
"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, just Sakura. I'm not really comfortable with formalities," I cursed myself for being so dumb not to realize that Sasuke was talking to me. "So, I'll just call you Sasuke too," I said and he nodded. After knowing Sasuke for 30 minutes, I could already tell that he isn't really a fan of talking, which made me remember Naruto, who is the opposite. Just like I told Kakashi, mysterious and a bit cold. Sasuke's personality makes me want to squeal, gee.
I took a bite of my cake that Kakashi bought before speaking. "How about Sasuke's school?" Surely, Sasuke can't stay at the house forever. He needs people around him too but every time I think about people, I can't help but get a little possessive over Sasuke. There's no doubt that a lot of girls will try to get his attention.
"I've thought about that already," Kakashi placed his hands under his chin and looked at Sasuke. "For a week, Sasuke will stay at home. He still needs to get used to human life and I still need to do some experimentation on him." Sasuke and I nodded at the same time.
"Don't you think Sasuke will have a hard time dealing with people… you know, like girls in school?" I tried to use words that wouldn't make me sound too possessive. I wasn't jealous or anything. Just uncomfortable at the thought of girls chasing him. Yeah, just that.
"Are you worried?" I was asking Kakashi but then, Sasuke spoke. I don't really know what kind of worry he is talking about.
"What do you mean?" I asked again and he smirked at me. I wanted to faint but fainting would mean I wouldn't be able to see his hot smirk on his handsome face so I have to fight it.
"Don't worry, I'll be by your side." Sasuke told me with so much honesty that I almost believed that he was my boyfriend or someone really close to me. I blushed after hearing his sincere words and after seeing Kakashi smile.
"Umm," was the only word, if that's even a word, that I could say.
"Sasuke will be fine," Kakashi saved me from melting. Whew!
"So uhmm, I'll go take a shower. Thanks for the food Kakashi! See you later guys," I awkwardly said and left while I heard Kakashi laughing like an idiot.
I wasn't really expecting anything like this. Before I walked inside this house a while ago, I was completely feeling blank but now, just thinking of Sasuke really makes me nervous. Sasuke, same roof, handsome, gah! I can't put it all together in my mind. It isn't like I'm a pervert or something. It's just that I'm not used to anything like this.
I got out of the shower and wrapped the towel around my body. I stared at the mirror for a while, picturing Sasuke beside me. I just want to convince myself that I wouldn't look weird beside Sasuke. You know, considering his perfection. Then I remembered the kiss... I touched my lips and honestly, I smiled. I didn't know that the feeling was that good...
I sighed and got out. I immediately changed into my favorite sleeping attire which Ino designed for me: pink, silk, short night gown, perfect for a warm night in spring.
Then I suddenly remembered that I left my cardigan inside the guest room which is now Sasuke's. I slept there the other night because the air-condition in my room got destroyed.
I got out of the room and went to Sasuke's. I just stood there, not really sure what to do next. Maybe I should knock now, but he might be sleeping already. Fine.
The door opened at my third knock and I saw the tiniest bit of curve on Sasuke's lips when he opened the door. He waited for me.
"Umm, I think I left my cardigan inside." I tried not to stammer and kept my cool.
"Come in," he plainly said and I entered his room. I immediately spotted my cardigan. It was just beside the bed so I went to get it until I saw Sasuke removing his shirt giving me a glimpse of his super hot body.
"W-what? What are you doing?" I blushed and backed away a little. I should really control my thoughts!
Sasuke just looked at me. "I'm going to take a shower," he raised a brow.
"You don't just remove your shirt in front of a girl Sasuke, geez." I blushed even more while he stared at me with unreadable eyes.
"Oh, sorry," he said and sat on the bed, probably waiting for me to go out, while I urged myself to get what I was supposed to get. What was it again? Oh yeah, the cardigan.
"Sakura," he stopped me from moving again. Dammit. Why do I feel so nervous? I remember that Kakashi once told me that being in a boy's room at night isn't safe and I had to try to convince myself that this is nothing.
"What?" I asked, pretending that everything is not bothering me though I'm so still and tensed.
"Happy Birthday," he stood up.
"Oh," I managed to say. Sasuke walked towards me, just three steps, I counted, and he was standing in front of me. All of a sudden, he kissed me on right cheek. Just a quick but chaste kiss and I began to redden again.
"I don't have a gift…" he trailed off and smiled a little but has a sorry look on his face. I guess he wasn't really good at words because I figured that he was about to say something else but he chose not to continue. Maybe what he was going to say was the kiss was his gift.
"Umm, thanks. I don't really care about gifts and you didn't even know. Umm, well, I need to go," I hurried outside so that I won't be able to suffer inside this room anymore then I noticed. "Umm, Sasuke?"
"..?.."
"Want to go shopping tomorrow?" I asked because I know he doesn't have much to wear. I know that I have a machine that makes clothes, but I'm not that good with man's clothing, am I? Or maybe, I told myself, I was just looking for an excuse to go out with Sasuke. It doesn't matter one way or the other.
"Sure," he answered, blank as ever.
"Ok, I'll go home early. Good night!" I said and walked out of his room as fast as I could, realizing that I wasn't able to get my cardigan, the whole reason why I entered that room.
The whole day, Ino kept on telling me that there was something wrong with me even though I told her that I was completely fine. Well, I can't blame her since I was spacing out a lot in class today.
I still didn't talk to Ino or to Naruto about Sasuke though I really wanted to because I forgot to ask Kakashi about it last night and I didn't want to do something that Kakashi might not like or something that is not good for Sasuke.
During dismissal, I immediately went out despite Naruto and Ino's continuous offers to take me home. Good thing was, I was smart to know what would stop them. I just simply reminded them of tomorrow's belated party for me at a bar, and Naruto's ramen. I told them that they should ready their clothes. Just that simple, and they left me alone. Haha.
"Ino, I forgot to tell you. I'm going to let you guys meet someone tomorrow night. Be sure to look forward to it, see ya!" I told Ino before I left and she got that sheepish grin on her face again which made me laugh.
Since I didn't give her the chance to respond, she sent me a message.
You idiot! You aren't telling me something. You're going to have a date today, no? Haha! Details tomorrow! I love you girl! I can't wait for tomorrow's party! Is he hot? Anyway, you still have to receive your gifts!
To Ino: I don't have a date, idiot! Yes, he's is HOT! Gotta go! See you tomorrow!
So I went back home as fast as I can, not realizing that I was already running. I didn't know that I was that eager to see Sasuke again. Everything just gets weirder and weirder every second.
I sighed when I reached the house. I'm sure that Kakashi is still not at home, which leaves Sasuke and me, alone. "Sasuke?" I called when I entered. He went out of the room immediately and blessed me with his oh-so-gorgeous presence.
"You're home," he spoke and I nearly jumped upon hearing his voice.
"Umm, are you ready?" I asked, obviously nervous.
"Hn."
"Uhh, I'm just going to change. Give me a minute!" I went to my room, my heart beating really fast. Again. I leaned on the door for a while and composed myself.
"Ok, I better get ready," I told myself and grabbed the first thing my hands reached in the closet. I stared at the fabric for a while, a red dress. It's not like I'm going on a date or something so I looked for other things that seem appropriate.
I took out a short black ruffled skirt and a white tank top on my closet. I combed my hair, grabbed the necessary things like money, cellphone and other things and went out of my room.
"You look perfect," Sasuke complimented and it made me blush again. I'm not being arrogant or something, but I always hear compliments and well, when it comes from Sasuke, it's different. So, so different because I never blush when I hear compliments.
"Thanks," I said without looking at him and he stood up from where he was sitting.
"Let's go," he said and opened the door for me.
We rode the train and went to the largest shopping center here in Tokyo. We bought a lot of things for Sasuke and I accompanied him and showed him different places. Sasuke and I bought clothes for him, shoes and even cellphone. The only place where I didn't accompany him was the Men's Underwear store. I think he understood my hesitance to go in there so he went by himself.
Sasuke also bought me a gift: A quite expensive necklace that has a key as its pendant. I didn't know where he got the money, I think he asked Kakashi.
The whole time, I was blushing and nervous, just like last night. You see, the only times I go out with a guy are when Naruto and I would go eat ramen or when I would accompany Shikamaru somewhere when Ino isn't around. I've been out in a day for a couple of times too but come on, those people are my bestfriends but Sasuke, I just met him last night!
Also, the stares and whispers of all the people are making me feel uncomfortable. I was starting to think that if I wasn't with Sasuke, all the girls will crowd around him asking for his number.
"So, where are your real parents?" Sasuke asked after he took a sip from his vanilla frappe. I saw a look in his eyes that seems like he's sorry for me or something. I saw it last night too when he told me he has no gift for me.
"I don't really know. When I woke up, Kakashi was there. They said that my parents died because of a car accident and I had amnesia. I don't know what really happened but I'm glad Kakashi adopted me. I'm really thankful to him," I smiled while he nodded.
"Don't you want to look for your real relatives?" He asked again. I guess he was just trying to figure me out.
"Well, they aren't looking for me either so there's no point. Kakashi's with me. You're with me. My friends are with me. No problem at all. I'm happy," I replied without thinking and realized that I told him 'you're with me.'
I felt nervous again but when I saw the tiniest hint of smile in his face, I relaxed a little.
"Don't you think they're cute?" Sasuke and I moved our heads to the side in unison. An old couple was looking at us and probably talking about us. I blushed and looked down while Sasuke just took a sip from his drink.
"They remind me of the two of us when we were young," the lady said.
"They really make a cute couple," she continued.
"Umm, Sasuke. I'm sorry," I finally found the courage to look at Sasuke after overhearing the couple.
"Sorry for what?"
"Because people think that we're… you know." I took a sip on my own drink to find an excuse to not look at him.
"I don't care," he spoke in his blank tone again and I smiled at this. Sasuke is really cute in his own ways.
This actually wasn't the first time that people have mistaken us as a couple. We've heard lots of gossips and talks on the train, from the salesladies, everywhere! It's just that, I didn't know why neither of us ever complained about that. For some reason, we want to leave it that way.
"Have you seen a Cherry Blossom tree?" I waited for Sasuke's answer. I'm sure he hasn't seen one yet.
"No, but for some reason, I know what it looks like." He looked confused for a second. It may be Kakashi's work. I mean, he programmed Sasuke with loads of things and maybe, even though Sasuke haven't really seen the actual thing, he knows it. Amazing.
"It's spring. The time of the Cherry Blossoms, wanna see? I know a place where only few people go. There's a cherry blossom tree there." I felt excited. Ever since spring started, I haven't seen a Cherry Blossom tree yet.
"Sure," he nodded and we both went out of the café. Now, I feel a little more comfortable despite the fact that I know a lot of people are staring at us.
Like what I said, I took Sasuke in a place where there are only a few people and we're lucky that there are no people here at all. A cherry blossom tree, a bench, and lots of flowers. There isn't anything really special here but you would definitely be captured by the beauty of this place The thing is, it's really somewhere hard to find. Considering all the buildings here in Tokyo, you would definitely be glad to see this small but wonderful place and whenever I go here, I can't help but feel that I belong.
"We're here," I stretched out my arms to feel the air. The sun is now setting, and this is the first time I've seen Sasuke here and for some reason, I actually think that he belongs too.
"It's beautiful," he whispered softly. I didn't know why he whispered but I'm glad he likes it as much as I do.
"Cherry Blossoms are my favorite tree," I confessed and he didn't seem surprised at what I said.
"You have a lot in common." I didn't know what he meant by that but I just shook it off.
"You know, Kakashi found me in the hospital during spring time on the 28th of March. He said that the name Sakura fits me very well considering my hair color." I smiled at the thought.
"Hn," was his response. At first, I thought he was saying 'hn' when he's not interested but now, I know that he says it because he wants to. You know, like his favorite word.
"One day, I'll take you somewhere really nice." I didn't expect myself to say that. The truth is, that place was my place and I've never brought anyone there…
"Where is that?"
"It's a secret," I smiled and he did too. It's weird why his smile always looks like a smirk. One-sided and hot.
"I'll look forward," he said.
"You should."
"Oh, Sasuke?" I remembered tomorrow's party! Ino will be disappointed if I didn't bring Sasuke.
"Hn?"
"Want to go to a party tomorrow?" I felt nervous again.
"Party?"
"Yeah, party. I promised my friends that I would treat them tomorrow night in the bar. Well, uhmm, I think it would be fun for you to meet them since you'll be studying in my school too." I fidgeted a bit. Why is it that everytime I'm with Sasuke I become like Hinata??
"Sure," he said. I'm glad that he accepted..
We sat at the bench for a little longer. I told Sasuke stories about my friends, about Kakashi, about the school that he will attend, about almost everything about me and for the first time, I felt comfortable around Sasuke. I felt that I knew him for a long time already and I was happy that he was willing to listen to everything I say. Even though I was the one who kept on talking, he listened. He didn't look bored and even though his voice was plain and blank, I figured that that was what he really is.
For a time there, I forgot what Sasuke really is. A robot. And neither of us spoke about what he is the whole time we were together and for some reason, I was happy.
To be continued..
