Prompt: the games we play

A/N: Day 4. Sequel to the 'no filter' prompt  but can stand alone. I didn't like how this ended ugh.

She just finished sparring with Sasuke, having sparred with him for a while now, but she's been distracted the whole time.

"What the hell, Sakura?" She snapped out of her daze and saw him glaring at her. "You're not focusing and I could have hurt you."

She should have melted because of his words, as if he didn't want her to get hurt, especially not because of him. She would have, really, but before she had the chance to, Ino's words rang in her head.

"He's been back in the village for a while now but he hasn't made any effort when it comes to your relationship. Does he even really care about you? Maybe you just have to wake up and accept the fact that he'll never love—"

She felt something constrict inside her chest. She glared back at him.

"I'm sick of this."

Sasuke was taken aback but he didn't show it. He didn't understand what she was talking about. "What?"

Her temper getting the best of her, she yelled at him. "I'm sick of this game, Sasuke! I'm sick and tired of this."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Suddenly feeling tired, she could feel her eyes burning, she said, "This game we're playing, with you pushing me away all the time but pulling me back whenever I try to move on. You act like you care about me and the next you don't. It's so tiring and it..." her voice broke, a few tears escaping, "...it hurts. It fucking hurts a lot. It's making me miserable. I don't want feel this way anymore. I don't want to wait for you anymore."

When she saw that he didn't even bother giving a response, she looked away, "...I don't want to love you anymore."

It wasn't even a second after she said those words when she felt her back against a tree, after he slammed her to it, not even registering the pain on her back.

Sasuke was gripping her forearms, he was furious and his eyes were blazing with an emotion she couldn't identify.

"You're wrong."

"Wha..?"

"Don't make assumptions on your own. Don't dare think that I don't care about you. You don't know what I feel."

Her eyes widened before forming into a glare as she registered his words. "THEN PRAY TELL SASUKE, WHAT DO YOU FEEL?! BECAUSE IT SURE AS HELL DOESN'T FEEL LIKE YOU CARE. AT ALL!"

He gripped her arms tighter almost to the point of pain but she didn't notice because his next words took her breath away.

"Who do you think I came back here for?! Aside from an annoying girl with green eyes and fucking pink hair?!"
