Chapter eight: Drunkards

I pull back and slap him, "don't do that," I hiss at him shaking him by the color of his shirt.

"Oh come on you know that you like it. You know the reason you are still holding onto my shirt is for you can kiss me some more. You kissed me in the library and in the kitchen."

I let him go and hit enough so he falls on his butt.

I loom over him letting my loath towards him for the moment leak out, "Listen to this Sasuke," I didn't realize that I was crying, "You're with Karin and I won't be a side menu whenever you're tired of her. Karin hates me enough without you being in the picture I don't need a guy to widen the gap between me and her."

"Why's that?" he pulls me against him and I sigh remembering how he was tickle-ish in the side if you poked him there.

When I'm free from his arms will I finally be able to speak?

"I don't know one day we were close and the next day I ended up knocking her on her ass because she had something foul to my mother. So remember if you want to know go ask the skank that you let hang on your arm," I didn't want to show it but my voice ended up being acid but filled with pain all meant for Karin, my half-sister.

"Why do you hate her?"

"Because she just changed after learning what happened between our mothers. We were only ten and when she found out we split apart the friendship that we had built for five years had been broken and it was starting to fill with only hate."

I didn't realize I said too much. "What?"

"Nothing I have to go," I turn around not listening to him telling me to come back. I only looked back once to see he's standing still looking my way.

Tonight I have to work at the club so I need to get dressed when I'm done I start to walk to the Crypt.

I hear a few people behind me start shouting, "Hey baby."

God does he think that fake Italian accent is going to get me to swoon into his arms I don't think so. I already did that to a guy I use to love and still may be in love with.

I keep walking away to get the two guys step out in front of me they both look 19. One guy wraps his arms around me waist and pulls me against him, ugh he smells like liquor.

I push him away from me. "I'd let me go if I were you."

They just smiled well more of their friends came out of the building (must be a party from the music blaring inside and the more friends smelling of liquor).

"Who's the cutie?"

"Don't know all I know is…"

I kick him in the face since his friend had grabbed me from behind.

"Hey," that voice it can't be, "let go of her right this minute."

I get out of another one of their hands and wind up in another's.

When I try to hit he takes my hands gently in his, "Be careful nerd bird."

Great just as I thought it's Sasuke I look him straight in the eye, "Give me a good reason not to beat you to a pulp."

He gives me his sly smirk, "how about I help get rid of really drunk horny older guys that will do bad things."

How he says it makes em laugh he always knew how to make me feel better when I felt horrible. Ugh!

"Ah!"

when I try to escape his arms I only get pulled back by my shirt. When I spot Sasuke his eyes show he's pissed off I wonder at who. I slam my elbow into a guy that was trying to sneak up on us and turn around and smile at them.

"I'm not in a very good mood so you," I point to the ring leader and smile.

I kick the guy in the jaw sending him flying backwards when he hits the ground he's knocked out cold. I start to crack my knuckles as I walk over to them again and they act like nervous cattle.

"No are you going to listen?"

They nod and the looks on their faces make me chuckle.

I think since they seem to be afraid I should warn them, "Next time you pull something like that someone like Sasuke may not come or the girl won't be tough and I hear it you'll pay for it drunk or not. Now scram."

The last ting I expected was for Sasuke to pull me into a tight hug that didn't have anything intimate behind it and next thing that caught me off guard was what he said to me, "I was so worried when I saw them around you. I thought that they already started something horrible. I should have ran over here right when I thought they were following you but I knew there was a party going on here."

When I pull away far enough to see his face all I see is guilt and worry.

Huh…? WHAT THE FUCK?

I think I'm about to go hysterical, "Why would you be worried about me the nerd bird?"

He sighed and looked like he was holding a lot of guilt now. Why is he thinking about all the stunts he's pulled?

"Because for some reason no matter what you're on my mind. I tried to get rid of your face but it never works. When I fall asleep at night you are the one that I think about. I see your emerald green eyes smiling at me with your pink hair framing your face making it look like it is being framed by a wind filled with cherry blossoms and you're pale smooth skin that seems to glow along with your hair. "

I gasp not really meaning to but I was caught off guard when I was pulled into a tighter embrace plus hearing him whisper slightly without thinking, "I'm sorry."

"Why are you saying this now of all times, Sasuke?"

"Because I remember all of my childhood sakura that means I remember the spunky little girl who loved tea parties. Who I wanted to kiss, but by the time I decided I was going to my parents died and my uncle yelled at me when I told him I was going to tell you. He wanted to have me marry Karin because of some business arrangement with her father. I know that you two are sisters."

First I slapped him, "you knew I was your childhood friend and didn't do a thing you just became and asshole and I mean I was only gone a year and you could have told me instead of anything and you could have written something and had Itachi give it to me. Oh wait you were mad at your brother. Also never tell a soul about me and Karin being related because at this moment I don't know if I can hate you anymore than I already do."

He looked at me with a raised eyebrow, "Why should I do that?"

I smile devilishly at him as he did to me, "Well let me see you get to keep your nuts for a little bit longer."

He froze as I grasped his shirt and shoved him out of my way, but he still had the guts to yell after me, "I know why you wear braids all the time."
