~Bulletproof~ SasuSaku Mafia Story

Chapter 42 ~ Honey and Lemon

Sakura quickly grabbed her keys, picked up her purse, and bolted to Sasuke.

"What the fuck are you doing here? You'll be seen!" She grabbed his arm and dragged him inside the building. Her hands shook from nervousness but she finally managed to open the door to her apartment. Sasuke stood behind her with his hands in his pockets, without a worry in the world. She stormed inside and dragged him with her before thoroughly checking the hallway for any wandering eyes. She exhaled and shut the door, then ran to her windows and closed all the blinds.

Sasuke watched her panic and take all the precautions as he leaned on the wall of her apartment right by the front door. When Sakura was finally feeling secure enough, she put down her bag and turned around to face Sasuke.

"This was so reckless!"

"Aren't you happy to see me?" He grinned and pushed himself off the wall. He looked around her apartment slowly.

"That's not the point! What if someone saw you?"

Sasuke walked around her living room, examining random items and decorations as Sakura stood in the middle of the room with her eyes crossed and mind clouded.

"They didn't."

"How do yo-"

"Because this is what I do. By the way, Juugo took care of the cop trailing you."

"There is a cop trailing me?!"

"Was." He turned back and smirked at her. She gasped,

"He killed a cop?"

"Not killed, no. Incapacitated her."

"Her?! Kurenai was trailing me? God damn it!" That fucking Tsunade, how dare she act all friendly when asking for permission to tap her phone, but sent people to spy on her without her permission? That reminded her,

"Sasuke, they tapped my phone..." She sat on the couch and rubbed her eyes. A lot was going on right now. She still hadn't fully processed the fact that he was there in her living room. Turns out her standing with the police was worse than she thought if they sent Kurenai to keep tabs on her.

Sasuke turned to face her. Sakura seemed very agitated as she sat on the couch and fidgeted with her dress on her lap. Her pink dress looked great on her and matched her hair perfectly. He smiled and walked around the couch to stand in front of her.

"Of course they did. So what?"

Sakura looked up at him angrily. The nerve of this guy. All her built up anxiety erupted at once;

"So what, Sasuke? Of course you'd ask me that! I am being spied on by the police, who happen to be my friends, or former friends, I don't even know! And I am on the fucking 'mafia associates' list and Tsunade won't take my name off of it! Which means while they won't arrest me for the lack of evidence, I will never be able to find a normal job, or go back to college, or just have a life! And you waltz in here after over a month like it's no big deal? Fuck off!"

Sasuke let her have her moment - he had learned how to deal with her by now. If anything he'd missed it.

"You done?"

Sakura looked at him in enraged disbelief.

"How dare-"

"Shh. None of that matters in the grand scheme of things."

"My life doesn't matter?!" Sakura jumped up from the couch and stood before him with her fists clenched. She had waited so long to see him again just for him to evoke new levels of anger in her.

"Let me talk, will you?" He looked at the watch on his wrist. "You'll be set for life, Sakura. It does not matter what tricks those pathetic cops pull on you. Your college diploma should be shipped to you in the next few days. Congrats on the graduation." He winked and walked to her desk. She stood in the same spot with her mouth open.
