Previously on 'The Wrong One' …

Feeling faint once again, I lower my head, before a sharp, cold object rests under my chin and lifts it back up.

I strain to keep my eyes open as I see the silhouette clearer now. Spiky hair, slightly chunky yet insanely muscular, deep, dark, onyx eyes boring emotionlessly into mine, and a stoic expression to boot.

It can't be …

Holy shit …

"Sasuke?"

Chapter 9: More Than Meets The Eye ...

Sakura's POV

I had somehow woken up fully between the time the sword touched my chin and the time it took to realise who was on the other end of it. I knew I looked like an idiot with my mouth hanging open and my eyes wide, but I didn't care.

It was only then I realised Kabuto and Orochimaru were also in the room behind him. Orochimaru sniggered evilly and Kabuto whispered something in his ear. Then the two creeps left my ex-comrade alone with me, deliberately slamming the door shut loudly to leave an echo ringing during this awkward silence.

We stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity, his sword still under my chin. Even though he was as emotionally open as a brick wall, I occasionally caught a glimpse of confusion in his eyes at my blank face. At that moment I was rather thankful I'd been given a while to perfect my façade, knowing he wouldn't be able to read me quite as easily as he thought he would.

After a very long while (at that point I decided I should invest in a watch), he moved his sword swiftly, and I almost missed what happened next.

Which, I have to say, shocked me quite a bit.

Before I knew what was going on, he slashed the chains around my feet, followed soon by slashing the ones at my wrists.

I cursed gravity as I fell to the ground, though thankfully keeping on my feet. I rubbed my sore wrists briefly, contemplating whether to heal myself or not. If I did, it would alert Sasuke of my strength and ability, and he would no doubt tell Orochimaru, where I'd be locked here forever. However, if they already knew about what I could do, which was why they brought me here, I figured there would be no harm in showing off a little.

So I did just that.

Out of the corner of my eye I watched Sasuke's expression closely as I healed. He seemed slightly intrigued, but otherwise didn't care.

That was when I remembered you can't show off in front of an Uchiha.

Bummer.

Despite the irritation growing inside of me, I finished the job and surveyed my wrists to make sure they were completely healed. The work was a little shabby considering I barely had any chakra, but it would hold up for now.

I turned to face the dark haired man again and inspected him better now my eyesight was fully restored. He was much taller, from what I could tell I was about the height of his shoulder, which bugged me more than it should have. He was very muscular, and you could see the start of his six-pack beneath the large slit in his shirt. He had filled out a healthy amount too; he wasn't too skinny yet he wasn't too big. His hair was slightly longer, his bangs framing his stoic face. His eyes were just as dark as they used to be, yet slightly more hypnotic and had a glint of red in them.

In short, he was just as gorgeous as he used to be.

Damn him.

He was staring back at me, and for a moment it seemed like he was observing my changes too. Since I'd said his name neither of us had spoken, and realising this made me more unnerved by him. So, I did the first thing I could think of.

I walked closer, closing the gap between us. I looked up at his face as his eyes bore into mine. I shifted my façade to that of disbelief. I had a fake look of love in my eyes and I saw the annoyance flicker in his. Which meant he believed it. The idiot. I slowly started to raise my hand, and was slightly surprised when he didn't react to it. I stopped moving it halfway between his face and mine, and tilted my head to the left.

Before slapping him really, really hard.

As my hand came into contact with his face, a look of surprise flashed in both our eyes. His surprised at my strength and action, mine surprised that he actually didn't see it coming.

His hand rose to his cheek as I clenched my fists, determination written all over my face. He smirked that annoying (coughsexycough) smirk of his and faced me fully.

"Still weak, I see."

I was thrown back. There was no way that hit didn't hurt him at all. Yet there he stood, the red hand print fading and the victorious smirk still plastered on his face. I breathed deeply, venting out my anger and bit my bottom lip hard.

"Still annoying, I see."

I smiled sweetly as he glowered at me. I was glad I was able to throw an insult back, especially one that he used on me so long ago. He chuckled slightly and withdrew his sword, before dropping it on the ground. "I'm not here to fight you, Sakura. I'm here to take you."

My heart leapt a little, despite knowing he obviously didn't mean it that way. "I'm sorry, but it's a little too late to ask me on a date now, Sasuke. Maybe next time though, yeah?" I did a little victory dance in my head at how well I was responding. Sure I'd practiced in front of the picture of Team 7 at home, but considering this was the real Sasuke, looking more godly than usual, I was proud of myself.

I could see him getting more annoyed with me by the second, and I just folded my arms and continued to smile at him.

"I was sent in here because I know you. Orochimaru-sama –"

"Woah, woah, woah. Sama? Since when is Orochimaru 'Orochimaru-sama'"

I noticed him glance at his sword, which was too close to me for him to kill me before me getting it first. "Orochimaru has got a surprise for you. He knew you wouldn't go with him or Kabuto, so asked me to bring you."

I widened my eyes and my mouth was agape. "That was the longest sentence you've ever said. Congratulations. But you can tell that snake and his paedophilic boyfriend that I won't be going with them, with you, or anyone. All I'm going is back to Konoha."

"And let me guess. You want me to go with you, right?"

I smiled briefly. "To be quite honest, I don't care whether you come with me or not. Yes, that was what part of the mission was about, but I'm no longer with my squad. You and I both know that when they find me they will also try to get you back, but I've changed, Sasuke. I'm not the stupid little naïve girl you once hated. I'm not gonna fawn over you and pretend you know I exist. I won't constantly tell you I love you and I'm definitely not gonna pretend I like you. Where Naruto and Tsunade and Kakashi all have the false hope you're gonna say 'fuck Orochimaru, fuck power, fuck Itachi, I'm going home', I don't. You wanna take me to wherever? Then take me, but I am not gonna do it out of weakness or love. I'm doing it because I might as well try to complete my mission while I'm here."

Okay, so half of that was a bit of a lie, but he doesn't need to know. I blinked before turning around to face the door, partly to hint at leaving, partly to not look at his face.

Before I knew what was happening, I was thrown into the wall. The impact turned me around and I blinked as Sasuke grabbed my wrists in one hand and rested on the wall with the other. Our faces were inches apart, our breath lingering on the others' neck. He chuckled a bit, looking deep into my eyes.

I swallowed.

He smirked.

"Hmm. You have changed. Thank Kami for that."

And with that, he backed away from me and opened the door, the smirk never leaving his face. I glared at him before walking out, keeping my eyes on him the whole time. I watched him shut the door and stand behind me. "Move, then."

I scowled before I started walking. I was confused as to why I was at the front since I didn't know where to go, but figured it was because he didn't trust me. Like usual. I turned slightly to face him, and noticed he somehow got his sword from the floor of my room. I turned back and carried on walking.

Sasuke POV

As we walked down the winding passages, I couldn't but replay everything she had just said. 'I won't constantly tell you I love you and I'm definitely not gonna pretend I like you.' She was harder to read than she used to be, and, even though I felt certain that she didn't mean that, an annoying part of me told me that she did. Though I could hide it, I felt a little bit downhearted when she said that, though I have no idea why. I never liked her, hell I never even pretended to like her. She was just the girl in my team that I was forced to protect all the time. She grew really irritating but, at the same time, it felt good when I was with her. She always liked me and constantly told me she loved me, and though I hated it … I didn't hate her.

"Turn left and it's straight down to the end."

"Yes, sir!"

I was becoming more irritated by this new her than the one I knew. Her sarcasm was bitter and her face was almost always emotionless. I knew I was the one that made her this way and I know I could've done things better and she was meant to live her life and carry on but … she told me she'd love me forever.

I guess that was what I'd always depended on.

We stopped at the end of the corridor and she folded her arms and looked at me, her eyes cold and bored. I knocked on the door and within seconds Kabuto had opened it, peering round to look at Sakura, a malicious smile on his face. A feeling grew inside my stomach but I pushed it back, figuring it was nothing.

"Come on in, Sakura. We've been waiting for you."

Sakura looked once more at me, before going through the door, staying as far away as possible from Kabuto. I took a step forward, but Kabuto held his hand up to me.

"I'm afraid you can't come in just yet. If you wait here we'll let you in later, but right now, we just need the girl."

I glared at Kabuto as he smiled and shut the door on me. I didn't care that I was excluded from what was happening, I just knew that whatever it was I needed to be in there.

"Sharingan!"

If they weren't going to tell me, I guess I'll have to figure it out myself.

End of chapter 9! I know it's a really bad ending, and Sasuke is so OOC it'll kill everyone, but I wanted a bit of SasuSaku-y kind of stuff so figured I'd do that … but now you see why I never write from Sasuke's point of view lol.

I made it a nice long chapter so that you actually have something to read this time, and I have to say I was rather disappointed when I only got two reviews for the last chapter. I appreciate people adding it to favourites or whatever but PLEASE REVIEW! You people don't understand how much work I have to have done by tomorrow for school and yet I've spent most of my day writing this instead, so I would like at least a little feedback from more than two people, even if it's just a 'good' or 'bad'. Criticism is accepted, I know I suck and I need you to tell me how I can make it better!

So please, please review! I NEED them! I had to force myself to write this because I felt so downhearted that only two people said they liked it, so PLEAAAAAAAAAASE! Every review brings me closer to writing a new chapter, and I really want to get more up quicker!

I have two essays plus drama coursework to do today, and I'm really really ill, so please make me feel better by reviewing! Don't just favourite or story alert it!

Over and out
