Chapter 12
*Back when Sasuke slammed the door
*SLAM
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!
Great...Are you angry at me too?
YOU FREAKING IDIOT! THAT PUSHED YOU EARNGING HER TRUST BACK A GAZILLION YEARS1!
I'm just doing as she wants me to. I'll leave her alone; I won't care about her anymore. She can go die for all I care...
REALLY? DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT?!
Just leave me alone, I need time to vent out my anger and think.
FINE BUT AT THIS RATE SAKU-CHAN WILL DEFINIETLY DIE
Like I care...
Sasuke entered his room and tried to sleep but the pictures of Sakura and that guy filled his mind. Why am I so disturbed but her and that guy together? I've never felt this way before... I'm not jealous...am I? Uchiha's don't feel petty feelings like that.
ARE YOU AN-
I told you to shut it!
Sasuke looked up at the ceiling, his mind filled with thoughts about his feelings towards Sakura, the picture of Sakura with that man. He got more frustrated and frustrated and he was about to snap when he heard a scream.
"NO! KENJI!" Sasuke sat up at the sound of Sakura's voice. Sakura?! His brain processed what she had said. Kenji? Who's that? Is he that guy from the picture? If it is got to do with that guy, it's not my business. Sasuke laid back down, feeling more frustrated than he has ever felt in his life. He tried to fall asleep but that didn't work. He tried tiring himself out by doing extreme exercise but that didn't work either. The thought of Sakura and that guy kept him on the ball.
Damn it. Why do I feel so aggravated at the thought of Sakura and "Kenji"...
FOR THE LAST TIME , YOU ARE IN LOVE WITH HER! I've said this before and I'll say it again. For you a smart guy-
You are kind of dumb. How many times have you said that?
Since you know it so well, YOU SHOULD TAKE IT INTO ACCOUNT!
...Hn
Aw hell no! Don't you Hn me mister!
Huh...
Oops got a little out of character...ANYWAY just admit that you like her.
I don't...
I've gotten tired of this argument. I'm telling you for the last time that you are in love with Sakura and that is final so if you'll excuse me I have a date to go to.
Huh...HUH!? Wha-Da-what?!
UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE I accept the fact that I like someone
Who are you going on a date with?!
Inner Sakura.
... WHAT?!
Didn't I tell you? Oh well we started dating a few weeks after we came back
Does Sakura know?!
Nope
Great. But I thought her inner is on the verge of taking over Sakura's soul
YEAH SO I'M DISTRACTING HER! But I also really like her...she's quite pretty and funny and-
I've heard enough
Sasuke couldn't believe it. His inner was dating her inner?! WHY WAS HE NOT INFORMED OF THIS?! But then he thought what Sakura's reaction would be if she found about it. He snickered to himself as he thought about Sakura's possible reactions. His mind soon calmed down at the funny thought and he soon drifted off to sleep.
*The next day
Sasuke woke up to the knocking on his door. He looked at it in frustration. When he opened it up he was greeted with a punch to the face. He stumbled back. He looked up with anger but only saw Sakura with a very angry face.
"Ha-Haruno... What do you think you're doing?!" he said, angrily. He was still angry about the night before but he still took in her appearance. Rather than her braid, her hair was let out today and he realised that it made her look a little bit innocent.
"I've been knocking for the past 15 minutes and you think you have the right to be angry?" she asked in a dangerous tone. Her shoulders were shaking and you could tell that it was taking all her will power to supress the anger.
"Meeting in Gaara's office, thanks to you now I'm late too." With a swish of her hair, she walked down the hallway. Sasuke's nose was filled with the scent of cherry blossoms as her hair returned back on her back. He missed the scent and didn't move for quite a bit but he returned to reality when his brain processed what Sakura had told him. I'd better get ready and closed the door to get ready.
Sasuke walked towards Gaara's office and was about to open it when he heard Gaara and Sakura talking.
"-are you going to be ok?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well Orochimaru killed him"
"You think I don't remember?" Sasuke could detect scorn in her voice.
"I was just saying if you are prepared to face him"
"I am always ready."
"By the way where is Uchiha?" Sakura scoffed.
"I dunno where that asshole is. He wasn't going to make me any later than I already was." Right after that statement Sasuke went in. Sakura didn't move at all. Sasuke looked at them before sitting down.
"So what is this meeting about?" Sakura suddenly spoke.
"It's not nice to ears drop Uchiha" Gaara looked at Sasuke seriously.
"How much did you hear?"
"Not much" Gaara looked at Sakura, as if asking if it was ok
"Meh I don't care" Gaara nodded
"Continuing, we have stated that the one behind all of this is Orochimaru. We need to find his hideout and kill him before he does anymore of his tricks"
"So this is an assassination mission?" asked Sasuke
"When do we leave?" Sasuke looked at Sakura in surprise. They had been handed an assassination mission. Shouldn't she be a least a little bit worried? She wasn't used to this kind of mission right?
"You leave in the morning 6 am sharp. Sorry I need to go to another meeting now" When Gaara left them, Sasuke and Sakura walked back to their rooms in silence. Sasuke decided to end the silence. He walked in front of her and faced her
"Haruno, are you going to be ok with this type of mission?" Sakura stopped and started shaking when she looked up her eyes had a murderous glint. When she spoke her voice was low and dangerous.
"I don't know how weak you think I am but don't think I'm so weak that I can't handle assassination missions because I can." Sasuke took a step back. Sakura took one forward.
"What happened to not caring about me Uchiha? If you say you say you're going to do something then please a least try and make an effort of doing it." She brushed past him and walked back to her room slamming her door after she walked in. Sasuke stared after her in amazement. He straightened himself up and returned back to his room.
*The next morning
When Sasuke was ready the next morning, Sakura was already waiting at the gate of Suna.
"What time did you arrive?" Sakura turned around.
"5" Sasuke's eyes widened
"Why were you here so early? Did you skip breakfast or something?"
"Mind your own business" without another word Sakura started running and Sasuke followed.
Silence overtook them as they ran. Sakura's eyes looked dead and Sasuke's was studying her looking for other peculiar things about her.
"Can you not stare at me like that? Keep your eyes on the road" sakura said. Sasuke looked away blushing.
"I wasn't staring. You look dead" Sakura chuckled but her voice sounded weary and well...dead
"Well that's a nice way to compliment a girl."
"What's wrong? Did you pull an all-nighter or something?" Sakura's fist clenched and she then she suddenly yelled at Sasuke.
"STOP IT! STOP WORRYING ABOUT ME! STOP TRYING TO GET CLOSE TO ME! STOP TRYING TO REGAIN MY TRUST! STOP TRYING TO SAVE ME FROM MYSELF! JUST STOP IT! ITS-" Sakura hesitated for a second. Did she dare say it? "ITS ANNOYING" Sasuke's speed slowed down as he heard those two words. He noticed that Sakura looked taken back she had spoken those words that had caused her so much pain in her childhood. Sakura swallowed and ran past him. Sasuke looked as she passed...but he didn't miss the sound of her holding her tears and the few escapee tears that slide down her face.
