{CHAPTER TWENTY}
"I'm surprised" Sakura started when they were going home.
She still kept a little distance from him, even with the new look he had "You're taking this world quite easy than I thought"
Sasuke shrugged "That is because it is"
"I wasn't able to adjust to your own world, people don't kill or kidnap people to get money in my world" Sakura said
"They are just doing what they can to have money" Sasuke said "Besides you should glad you were sold to me, I am sure those men did not want a huge disappointment " he smirked teasing her.
Sakura smiled at him.
She was glad that she was actually sold to him but still hurt.
Her eyes trailed down her body, what was wrong with it?
"Well, jokes on you, I'm actually a delicate flower in the whole of Konoha" Sakura said smiling evilly as she said that.
"Delicate uh?" Sasuke eyed her figure "Yeah, I have seen enough and believe me it is not much"
"Why you!"Sakura said storming faster ahead of him.
She was boiling but didn't if it was from anger or embarrassment.
At that moment she stopped in her tracks and turned to her left.
Someone had called her and when she saw who it was, she felt weak and angry.
Standing in front of the black gate, arms crossed was on other than Sakura's ex-boyfriend...Kiba
Sasuke had also noted the way she stopped and sent his gaze to the man by the gate.
*Who is he?* he thought
"Hey Sakura" Kiba greeted "I can see you've moved on" he said jerking his head towards Sasuke.
Sakura turned to face Sasuke and she could tell he was already getting what was going on.
She sighed and walked up to him, linking her arm with his.
"Yes Kiba, I have moved on.I'll like you to meet Sasuke, my new boyfriend" Sakura said feeling quite proud of herself for saying that.
"Huh? New boyfriend uh? Well then let me tell you mate" Kiba said facing Sasuke "Sakura isn't the kind of woman who likes getting laid, believe me she would bore you in a week or two"
Sakura fought the urge to cry out.
That was what he had said the night he broke up with her.
She had cried so much that night, because she actually thought Kiba was the one for her but apparently he was just with her for his own selfish gain and when he realized Sakura wasn't ready for all those stuffs, he left her alone plain and simple.
That was the reason why Sakura never thought of falling in love again even though Ino had encouraged her to many times.
"I agree that I wasn't the kind of woman you wanted Kiba, but Sasuke will be a better man than you'll ever be" Sakura said "I regret meeting you and I hope the other ladies that you have treat you just like you did to me"
Kiba almost snorted but the next thing he saw took the breath out of him.
Staring into two pairs of red glowing eyes, Kiba soon found himself standing face to face with some kind of weird beast.
It had seven heads on just one body and its skin looked like it was inside out.
Its claws were hideous and a single scratch from one of those claws could lead to a person death.
Each of the heads had those red eyes on them and Kiba could his legs give way until he finally passed out.
"W-what did you do to him?" Sakura asked seeing Kiba lay on the fall unconscious when nothing had happened to him.
"Just a little illusion"Sasuke shrugged
"Will he wake up?"
"Maybe" he said.
He sent his gaze down and Sakura followed it.
Seeing that their arms where still linked together, she quickly removed it turning her face to the other side.
"T-thank you"
"Hn, no wonder you call yourself a delicate flower" Sasuke said and walked out on her.
When Sakura realized he was referring to what Kiba had said the other time, her cheek grew hotter than the way it was before.
"Sasuke you jerk!"

Sakura had finally got to the gates of her apartment but was just too scared to go in.
She kept pacing up and down on what to do about Sasuke.
It wasn't that she was scared about carrying him along with her, she was just worried about what others might say.
If there was something she hated about her neighborhood was her gossiping neighbors.
They could bring a person down with just a word.
There were other options too ,like they could climb the fence but then what?
They could end up being caught as burglar ...no he could be caught as a burglar and then sent to jail..which he would escape from eventually.
Guess she had no choice then.
...
Sasuke stood with amazement watching as Sakura creeped into her own apartment.
She was walking slowly and looking at every corner as if scared someone might creep up on her.
To top it of, she was really clumsy. Hitting everything she came across.
If she were to be an huntress back home, she would die on her first mission.
He chuckled at the thought of that.
"What are you doing?" Sakura whispered when she realized Sasuke wasn't following her.
Sasuke sighed and walked towards her "This is annoying"
"No, I don't just want us to get caught" Sakura said panic evident in her voice.
"By who?"
"That...you know what, never mind" She straightened herself up "Let's just walk like normal humans to my apartment"
"Sure"
Sakura took her normal pathway and eventually she reached her front door without getting caught.
Taking out the spare key Ino had dropped for her.
She opened the door to the scent of cherry blossoms.
Her apartment was still they way it was.
She smiled, it had only being two days yet it felt like two years.
Sasuke took in her apartment, it was plain and simple.
Furnitures weren't that much and the smell of the fresh air and cherry blossoms were intoxicating suddenly filling his head up with a certain pinkette.
"So this is my home" Sakura said
"Petty"
"Yes it is...now let me just say this once and only once. You are allowed to stay in my home until we find a way for you to go back to where you came from" Sakura said
"To where we came from" Sasuke corrected "And not to worry, I already know how to get us back home"
"And how is that?"
"It appears that You are the trigger to opening the portal in the river" Sasuke said "But it only comes with the perfect trigger"
"Isn't there another way?" Sakura asked. What Sasuke said wasn't sounding too good to her ears.
"There is...that is if you are ready to accept your powers again and be a healer"
"What are you trying to say?"
"You can open the portal yourself, but you will need your powers back and I can give it to you if you want"
Sakura's eyes narrowed and she crossed her arms "And what's the catch?"
"You come back with me" Sasuke said copying her actions.
Sakura smiled outside but deep inside she was crying and thinking of how to escape this guy and she couldn't wait to do it for real.
But if learning about her long lost powers could send him back, she was willing and ready to do it.
"Fine ,I will"
