I Forgive You (Sasusaku Romance)

Chapter 5

        Sakura's POV

         I gulped as I slowly walked in the room. Sasuke was standing in the middle of the room. He turned his head and looked at me. There wasn't a trace of emotion on his face.

        "Close the door." He said. My eyes widened.

        "W-what?" I stammered. Sasuke sighed.

        "Do you always have to be difficult. Just close the door." He said impatiently. I rolled my eyes and reluctantly closed the door. I stood by the door with my arms tucked behind my back. He went and sat down on the couch and patted the seat next to me. I could feel my heart beat in my throat as I slowly walked over and sat next to him. Sasuke just stared at the floor, not saying a word. It made me very uncomfortable.

        "Are you and Itachi in a relationship?" He asked. My eyes nearly shot out of my head.

        "What? No. What would make you think that?" I asked, exasperated. He let out a deep sigh. "Besides even if we were, why would it concern you?" I added. He then stood up and started walking away. I stood up as well. "So you can ask me questions but I am not allowed to return the favor?" I asked, "you haven't changed a bit." I muttered. Sasuke whipped around and glared at me. He walked over to me, but I walked back out of reflex. He grinned at me.

        "Is someone scared of me?" He said as he kept walking closer. I kept walking back until I hit a wall. I looked around for any way of escaping, but came up empty handed. I looked back up at Sasuke and my breath hitched in my throat. He was standing no more than three inches from me. I could feel his warm breaths on my face.

        "S-Sasuke what are you doing?" I asked hesitantly. He let out a deep chuckle and still had that terrifying grin plastered on his face.

        "Now tell me, do you still love me?" He asked as he placed a hand beside my head. My eyes widened and my heart beat picked up again. I had no idea how I felt about him. I thought about it for a moment then a brilliant idea popped into my head.

        "I'll start answering your questions when you start answering mine." I said with a smirk. He frowned. I knew that wasn't the answer he was suspecting to receive. Just then the door swung open to reveal Itachi.

        "Sasuke, what the hell are you doing?" He asked darkly. Sasuke looked over his shoulder at Itachi and then back down at me.

        "We'll finish this later." He said to me as he started to walk away. But when he was near the door, Itachi blocked his way.

        "If I ever see you doing that again you won't like the consequences." Sasuke laughed.

        "Hn. I don't fear you Itachi. Try all you want to seem menacing and intimidating, but you will never be able to strike fear in me." Sasuke said coldly.

        "We'll see about that." Itachi said, matching his tone. Sasuke walked past Itachi, bumping shoulders with him. The gaze in Itachi's eyes was one of pure anger. He looked up at me and walked towards me. I was still plastered to the wall.

        "Are you alright? Did he hurt you?" He asked me. I shook my head.

        "No, just gave me a good scare is all." I said, forcing a smile. Itachi frowned and cocked his head at me.

        "You don't need to force yourself to appear okay and happy around me." He said. I looked up at him and then back down at my feet.

        "I'm sorry." I said.

        "And you need to stop apologizing for needless things. If you did something wrong, I would tell you. Only then is an apology appropriate." Itachi said. I nodded and looked up at him. I happened to glance out the window and see it was pitch black out. It must have been pretty late then. I took off my cloak and tossed it onto the couch. I could see the faint blush rise up in his cheeks. It made a small smile form on my face.

        "It's getting late, we should get to bed." I said as I walked past him and climbed into bed. He took of his cloak as well and climbed in next to me. I sat there awake for a while, as did he. Slowly, I could feel myself drifting off, but before I did, I could have sworn I heard the door open. But I was to tired to even peek an eye open to look.
