Cherry Blossom

Arrow to the heart - Part 27

          He leans on her doorway, and smirks to her loathing comment he missed hearing. "To see my favorite woman of course. How've you been?" he says very casual as if they were friends. "Pft. I'm on my way out, and I think you should be too." She makes her way out, kind of forcing herself besides him, and giving him the pleasure of getting the slight lean from her body against his, giving him the chance to smell her addictive scent. 'Oh fuck...she smells like she always has. Never lets me down. I need to persuade her...somehow...'. Locking up, he waits for her, naturally, and follows her out the building. Going down the block with him following, she turns back and looks at him once again. "Don't you have somewhere to be?" she tries to get rid of him. He smirks and decides to go for it. "I do actually...but not for today. For..mmm...lets say...next week...around.... Thursday."
          She stops. 'Thursday?...Wait...Thursday is....he knows?' She turns to look at him. "You're....you're going to...his..his-" "Concert? Yeah. Why wouldn't I? He's my little brother after all. And I'm actually quite proud of him." Staring at him for a moment...something was up. She crosses her arms. "Alright...what is this?" He looks at her adorable pose and couldn't help but smile at her. "What do you mean? I'm pretty sure I just invited you to come see a show, did I not?" "That was an invite? Hmph." "Yes sweet lips, it was. So...how about it? You want to go visit your...husband...do you not?"
           Not replying to him at first, he looks at her facial expression, and knew exactly what was going on thanks to his loving mother, and oh so close brother, still of course venting to him in times of need. He looks down at her, tilting his head a bit. "You do want to see him....don't you? It's not like you're...broken up or anything...right?" he says purposefully to see how she would react. Staring at him for a bit more and not wanting to give herself away, she bites her tongue, and holds it in, and goes along with it. "No...of course we're not. Yeah, we're great. I just..didn't expect you to want to go with me...seeing that it might be a bit uncomfortable to be the third wheel." He chuckles, and loved how she was trying to keep all this up. So he was going to play along too. "Oohh...not uncomfortable whatsoever. I'll manage. I've been putting up with it for 6 years now, haven't I?" "Hmph, whatever." Still not getting a real reply, he gets really close to her face, making her step back. "Well...is it a date then?" She gulps, and seeing that she was a bit desperate to see Sasuke again...and find out know if what he said to her the last time they were together was the actual truth. So without thinking much more, she answers him. "Okay. I'll go." "Great." he says with a smirk.

          Working that Monday as usual, she's cleaning up her last table, when Kakashi walks in. Coming right up to her, he wasn't going to wait and says, "Meet me next door on your lunch..", then walked away. Not giving her a chance to answer, she just huffs and continues the last 5 minutes before break. Going outside, she looks next door at the little cafe, and sees him sitting there already looking her way with lunch waiting. Two salads, some refreshing looking lemonades, and dessert, as he always set up. Coming to sit down, he right away tries to touch her hand, but she pulls away. Holding back the last week...he couldn't anymore, and lets it out. "Why can't I hold your hand?...What's changed?" She ignores him. "The salads look great. I'm starved." she picks up her fork and stabs her lettuce, but he stops her by the wrist before it reached her mouth. "Why are you doing this? Talk to me...please." "Let go of me.." "Talk to me first." "I don't have to if I don't want to." He holds his temples in frustration, but then yells. "God damn it Sakura!! You're pissing me off with this!" he squeezes her wrist. "Then why did you come here??! Leave me alo-" "I can't! Alright?! I just....I need you!" Her lips start to shake as she looked into his hurt eyes, and knew how he was feeling...what she must've been doing to him...so she says something outrageous to try and make things even worse.

         "You just want me for sex...that's it." she says. He couldn't believe his ears. "What?? Why would-" "Just admit it. Your fucking horny ass is not getting some, so you're taking it out on me because I stopped riding your dick, isn't that right?!" He was shocked with her outburst, making people's heads turn with the way she was speaking. He was hating this. "Wow...are you serious?? This is....you're being such a-" "A what? Just say it. Say it and get on with your life. I don't want..." she gulps and hesitates, "...I d-don't want to b-be with you anymore." He stares at her, hearing those stutters, and finally lets go of her wrist. "You talked to him....didn't you?" She continues staring back at him, feeling like the most horrible being alive. "Yeah..you're right, we talked, and we're getting back together. We're done."
            He shakes his head at her, and didn't believe her for one second. "You're lying...I could see it, hear it in your tone...you're lying to me." He can see how nervous she was...he can see right through her, even though she continued to say, "I don't...I don't want this with you...anymore." He sighs, and he was not going to let her do this. There was no way...no way in hell she changed her mind about them this quickly, not when things were going so smoothly. Something happened and he was going to figure it out...when he got back that is. "Alright then. Well...I will leave you to eat lunch alone...and uh.." he gets up, "..I'll be out of town for the next few days. Was hoping to patch things up with you before my departure, but since you're acting this way....I guess not. I'll be leaving."
