It was around 3am, a startled Sasuke awoke to a shrill scream. His heart started pounding from the startled realization that Sakura was finally sober and awake.
"Where am I?" She clamored. The pink haired kunoichi stared at her attire realizing she wasn't wearing her everyday clothes.
"My house." He deadpanned, staring at the clock. He rubbed his eyes, realizing it was still early.
"Sasuke?" Sakura replied looking indifferent.
Sasuke rolled his eyes and "Hn'd" in annoyance.
"What happened?" She asked with a bit of urgency.
The raven haired ninja crossed his arms and sighed.
"You got drunk, violent, and threw up everywhere." He spoke with sarcastic tone. "I think that covers it."
A soft blush emitted on Sakura's cheeks and she bit her lower lip in embarrassment.
"I did?" The kunoichi muttered before scratching the back of her head. She tried to recollect any memories from the day before. She remembered going to the local bar just to have a few drinks, but didn't realize the night escalated so quickly.
"Wait." She stopped her train of thought. Sakura stared at her former teammate's attire. The Uchiha's crest stood out like a sore thumb. "Did you dress me?" She spoke in a manic pitch.
"And bathed you." The Uchiha nonchalantly retorted.
Sakura panicked and pulled the covers to her chest.
"You pervert!" She cried out. "I can't believe you!"
Sasuke snorted in arrogance. "Oh Please. You act like I enjoyed what I saw." Of course he lied, but he didn't want to ruin his ego.
Sakura's jaw dropped in disbelief. She grabbed one of his pillows and chucked it at him. He skillfully caught it and chuckled. "Really?" He asked. "You're going to resort to acting like a child now? Then again, I'm not surprised."
Sakura was severely angered now.
"You're a real fucking jerk Sasuke Uchiha!" The kunoichi retaliated.
He smirked a little before speaking.
"And you're an ungrateful annoyance Sakura Haruno".
Sakura started tossing all of his pillows at him. He caught each of them, but then she started charging her chakra. The chakra charged pillow actually hit him near the groin. Fuming, the Uchiha gave her a look that could kill. He began to walk towards the end of the bed. Sakura look disconcerted, wondering if this was finally the end of her existence. Instinctively, Sasuke grabbed her by the wrists and stared into her emerald eyes. His piercing onyx eyes transformed into a crimson Sharigan. The pink haired kunoichi gulped and impulsively closed her eyes.
"You. Are. Annoying." He whispered maliciously.
Then the unthinkable happened. He violently pressed his lips against hers. Sasuke Uchiha pushed her against the mattress and began to kiss her. The kunoichi's eyes flung wide open and she could feel her heart pounding deep within her chest. Her breath hitched as soon as his lips met hers. After several seconds, he finally pulled away from her. She gawked at him in shock. Did Sasuke Uchiha actually kiss her? What was happening to her right now? Was she still intoxicated?
"You kissed me." The kunoichi stated while touching her lips. She ghosted her mouth with her fingertips. Sakura still felt the warmth connect to her lips.
"Ungrateful." The Uchiha grumbled. He shook his head before heading back to the couch.
Before he could make it any further, Sakura caught him by the arm. He didn't look at her, but he could feel the way she was looking at him.
"Sasuke." The kunoichi called to him.
She pulled him onto the bed and gazed at his muscular figure. Sakura draped her arms around his neck and started to hug him. He didn't comply but at the same time he didn't move away from her either.
"Thank you." She whispered into his ear. She then realized she had been a little ungrateful. The raven haired ninja nodded in acceptance. His eyes reverted back to his onyx colored ones. His rigid body slowly began to relax in her arms.
"As for last night." She whispered. "I'm sorry if I acted…out of the ordinary."
She paused for a second and a splitting pain shot through her head.
I fucking hate you!
"Woah Wait." She murmured. Sakura clenched her temple in agony. "I think last night… is slowly coming back to me."
Slowly, she recollected everything from the night before. She remembered the rain, she remembered bumping into Sasuke, and she remembered becoming frustrated.
I fucking hate you, you asshole.
"Oh god." She thought to herself. Then it hit her all at once.
"You break my heart, and you have the nerve show up here with your stupid little fan girl!" "You come back to Konoha, and you won't even talk to me!" "You won't even look at me!" Sakura was now on the verge of tears. "Are you ashamed of me?" Sakura asked with her voice cracking into high pitches. "Do I disgust you?" "I am nothing to you?" "Have I always been nothing to you?"
She remembered fainting and throwing up. She recalled Sasuke holding back her hair and washing her till she was clean.
"I was entirely ungrateful." She said audibly. "Sasuke?"
He turned to look at her.
"I'm an idiot."
"I know." He responded.
She began to stroke his face. Sakura grimaced. "You haven't talked to me since you got home."
He didn't respond. The Uchiha stared at her with an emotionless expression.
"Every time we crossed paths, you wouldn't even look at me-" The kunoichi's eyes began to water. "What did I do to deserve this?" She questioned. Tears continuously cascaded down her face, and she couldn't help but feel pathetic.
"Nothing." He countered.
"I feel so numb." Sakura said almost monotone. "I feel so alone."
After hearing her plea, Sasuke hastily embraced her against his body.
"Do I matter to you at all?" She cried.
"More than what you could possibly understand."
