Falling apart at the seems

(A/N: Sorry it took so long and if it's not good. Thank you for reading. More coming soon have a good early Thanksgiving for all who celebrate it.)

Sakura

It's been a month since Sasuke gave a few shares to Mint and ever since he's been distant. I continue to try to be happy and outgoing but he's making it very difficult. His cold shoulder is practically freezing me out. "Sakura you ok?" I snapped back to reality, Ino, Hinata and Tenten were looking at me with worried expressions. I faked a smile, "Yeah I'm fine was just day dreaming. So exactly what are we doing here at the mall Tenten?" I asked. The brunette smiled, "Well I didn't want a normal baby shower so instead I figured I'd take all my girlfriends out for a girls day." No one wanted to complain but something seemed wrong. Tenten spread her arms wide then said, "Buy whatever you want ladies!!" And with that I immediately went toward HotTopic.

The shelves were filled with Supernatural, Attack on Titan and tons of other Anime merchandise. "Why must you wanna hang out in such a dark..." Ino paused to raise an eyebrow at a girl who walked in.

She had short choppy purple hair and was wearing a nice black skirt with an umbrella strapped to her leg. The most noticeable feature was her eyes or rather eye, she wore an eye patch over her left eye. She was holding the hand of a brown haired guy who looked really embarrassed. "Rikka did you have to drag me in here?" The boy asked. The girl said something I couldn't hear but the guy sighed then smiled and hugged her, it made me long to have Sasuke here but I doubt even if he was he'd be happy. "Odd place with just as weird people." I glared at her, "Look Ino it's not nice to judge people." I walked over to the clothes.

"Yeah I know. I'll be waiting at Dairy Queen." Ino said.
"Oh grab me a resse blizzard please!" I called after her. Before I could even turn around a pair of hands wrapped around my mouth and drug me backwards into the changing room. "Stay quiet I'm just here to talk." I instantly knew the eerie chilling voice. He let go so I turned and faced him, my heart beat increased. Kabuto stared sadly back at me then fixed his glasses, "Sakura I'm here to warn you. Lord Orochimaru plans on taking out the Hyuga's company in the next week or so. You all need to start thinking of a plan on your end or he will win. Weather you split up the shares or not makes no difference." I frowned, a highschooler shouldn't have these types of problems. Pushing past him I walked out of the door then off to find Ino.

"Thanks for the fun day." I told Tenten as she dropped me off at my second home, Sasukes house. She sped away and I walked in and was met with some very odd noises.

Heavy breathing, moaning, groaning. I tiptoed down the hall toward the noise, that's when the voices started. "Ugh...Sasuke I can't take much more of this. My hands hurt from tossing it around so much." It was Itachi's voice. At this moment I'm sure you could understand my confusion which only worsened when Sasuke spoke. "Oh you can last another twenty minutes. You act like we havn't done this before. Besides you need the exercise." Creeping closer it was safe to say my temperature was slowly rising, hey don't judge you'd think the same thing if you were here. Itachi groaned, "Man I'm glad mom isn't here. If she caught me doing something this....embarrassing she'd kill me." He said. "Shut up dork. She knows we do it why else would she show us this awesome game." Sasuke asked, my face was so hot I'm sure it was steaming.

"God it hurts!" Itachi groaned.
"Yeah but it feels good, almost there!" Sasuke said. More awkward groaning then both shouted, "No!!!" Itachi screamed.
"Yes!" Sasuke cheered. Ok that's it. I walked in, "What are you two doing!!!???" I stopped. Sasuke and Itachi were both covered in sweat but instead of being close together they stood a few feet from each other with a gaming remote in their hands. Just then a voice on the t.v said, "Just Dance!" Never had I been so embarrassed.

"Uh...it's not what it looks like I swear." Itachi said while flinging the remote into the air. Sasuke looked away from me then turned off the game and headed toward the kitchen. See what I mean, the cold shoulder from hell but being the one who loves him so much I followed. It was a time for an ultimatum.

Itachi stepped in my way. "Hey there cherry blossom. Not to be mean or anything but if I were you I'd give him some time. It must be hard for you and I'm not taking his side either but I think you two need a little time...." My eyes widened, was the gap that was spreading between Sasuke and me becoming that notable. "I just have to talk to him." I replied blankly. The older Uchiha nodded then with a sigh he said, "Well please don't say anything you'll regret. You make him really happy but with everything that's going on...if ya need me I'll be out taking care of some business." He walked briskly past me and out the door.

I stood at the doorway and looked into the kitchen. The raven haired man moved around swiftly. Washing dishes, making some food. "Sasuke we need to talk." I honestly never thought I would ever be the one saying those words. He stopped but didn't turn so I continued, "Have I done something wrong? The past month you've all but shut me out. Why?"
"Sakura..." He muttered. I could tell from his tone that he was sad. "You should just leave."

I continued to stand there, "Sasuke. What have I done to make you turn cold toward me!" I yelled. I didn't want to raise my voice and I tried not to but emotions were building up in the pit of my stomach causing me to blurt stuff out as loud as possible. "It has nothing to do with you. There a lot of things going on right now. If you stay then..." He hesitated which pissed me off even more. "Just say it!"
"If you stay you will only be in my way and probably get hurt." Tears filled my eyes, here stood the man I loved and he was telling me to leave because I would only get in the way. My mouth hung open in a unlady like way, tears streaked down my face. "Fine." I choked out.
"If you want we will just call this a time out. Don't misunderstand Sakura I still love you but with all that's going on. You'll end up getting hurt..."
"So pushing me away means you love me? You'd rather push me away instead of have me by your side threw everything. You call that love?" I know it sounded harsh but I was pissed and hurt. Wiping my eyes I turned, "Right a time out. Enjoy it Sasuke." With that I left him standing there.

Itachi

My life was starting to be like one of those crime dramas on t.v. Pulling up to our cabin I'm the woods, yes we owned a cabin. I got out and was met be Kakuzu. "Has she talked yet?" I asked while referring to Orochimaru's spy Taiyuya. I brought her here to get info about Orochimaru's plans but she hasn't said anything but cuss words. "Unless calling Dediera a long haired sissy boy is talking then yeah. If not then no." I smirked. Walking inside I had to duck, Tobi was flung overhead. Taiyuya stood in the middle of the room with Hidan beside her, "Let me go!"
"Nope." I said while casually sitting down. She stared at me then inched over beside me and sat down. "Please let me go...if you do I can do something for you." She purred while putting her hand on my thigh, "Na I'm good in that department honey. But just tell us what the snake is planning and your free to go." I said.

Crossing her arms she huffed like a little girl. At that time my phone rang, "Hello?"
"Itachi Uchiha. I have the information you want. Meet me at..." I stayed silent as he gave me the address. "Be there at five today." With that the line went dead. Standing I looked at the clock on my phone, it was already four thirty. "Guys come on. Leave her here. Tobi guard her!" I yelled as we left. Although looking back that wasn't the smartest ideals.

To be cont....
