Abused Without Reason (Sasuke Love Story)

A Handsome, Teasing Isuke

Miu's POV

I couldn't stop thinking about what Orochimaru said. He still wants me to go with him. I also want to go with him because he promised me I wouldn't get hurt anymore. But I don't want to leave Sasori. He's the only family I have. What should I do?

I sighed as I walked towards tge infirmary to check on Sasuke. I heard he got hurt during his match, so I want to see if he's doing okay. Because I wasn't paying attention, I bumped into someone. "I'm very sorry. I didn't look where I was going." I apologized while bowing my head.

"Miu... Shimizu." I looked up, seeing I had bumped into Gaara. "Gaara? I'm sorry for bumping into you." I repeated. I saw his sand come out of the gourd he was hearing on his back, and go behind me. Let me guess: He wants to hurt me again and see how I'll react.

I'll react the same way I did last night we met; my emotionless state. Instead, his sand wrapped around my waist and pulled me towards him, falling onto his chest. "Gaara?" I looked up at him. "You're nice," He said. I raised a brow at him.

"You're the only one... who's not afraid of me.' He said. He gently took a strand of my hair and let it fall through his fingers. "That's because I have no reason to be. Are you okay? Would you like me get you some help?" I asked him.

"No, that's okay." He said. I don't understand. What's wrong with him? Is he sick? "Gaara, I-I have to go check on S-Sasuke." I said as I tried pushing him away. I didn't feel comfortable being hugged by someone like this. Especially from someone I don't know.

Sometimes, I think it's a trick to hurt me. "Why? He hurt you, didn't he?" He asked. "Hurt me? No, he didn't hurt me? He's never hit me. Sure, he's scared me at times, but he's never hurt me." I said. "But you're hurt." He stated. "I'm fine." I insisted.

"Then where did you get this scar?" He moved some of my hair to the side, revealing the scar I received when I was at the academy. "Oh, this was a long time ago. But I'm okay now. Really." I said. "Liar." Gaara said bluntly.

"I'm not lying. Gaara, please. I have to go see how Sasuke's doing." I said as I pulled away from him. But he grabbed my wrist. "Why are you trying to leave me? Are you afraid of me?" He asked, sounding hurt. "No, I'm not afraid of you. I swear. Please don't be sad," I said.

Instinctively, I hugged him so he wouldn't feel sad. I didn't mean to hurt his feelings. Why don't I think before I act? "I swear to you. I'm not afraid, Gaara. I just have to check on Sasuke. I'll make it up to you. Let me be your friend." I said.

"What? What did you just say?" Gaara asked with wide eyes. "Let me be your friend. I know what it's like to be lonely and have no one on your side. Please, I don't want you to be sad. Let me be your friend." I said. I don't know why, but I always feel sad when someone else is sad.

But I know it's my fault why Gaara feels hurt. "You'll really... be my friend?" He asked me. "I promise." I said wholeheartedly. Gaara hesitantly wrapped his arms around my waist, hugging me back. I blushed a bit, but smiled. "Gaara,"

I broke from the hug and turned around. "There you are, Gaara. I was looking for you. Were you two hugging each other just now?" Kankuro said. "Um, yes." I said with a blush. "Cute. You know, you two actually make a nice couple." Kankuro said.

I blushed. Frankly, I don't believe in love. I believe that love is created just to get you hurt. "I should get going. I need to check on Sasuke." I said. Well, he is my teammate. I have to check on him. I waved goodbye to Gaara then went to Sasuke's room.

I saw him lying in a hospital bed with an oxygen mask over his mouth. "Sasuke," I walked over to him. "How tough was your match?" I said. Looks like I'll have to find out for myself. I placed my hand over Sasuke's forehead and made a hand sign with my free hand. "Ninja Art: Memory Recall."
