Trapped in the arms of a killer | SasuSaku [Completed]

XXVII.

XXVII. Sorry

"Just where the hell have you been?" He popped out of nowhere, his mask covering from his nose bridge downwards- and his glare- gleaming like a red moon. Sakura admittedly went home late and she was about to unlock her apartment door and then suddenly - poof. There he was.

"Stop scaring me like that! Again!" Sakura said in a loud whisper, clutching her key so tightly as it almost fell out of her hand and her feet was almost out of balance.
"Answer." He demanded.

"Excuse me? Have you listened to what I told you earlier this morning at all? I told you, there was something I needed to do that concerns my precious dreams." She fired to him.
"Oh really? Until this late hour?" It was half an hour before midnight.

Sakura swallowed and felt guilty. She originally planned to be home as soon as she can, but after the conversation she had with her Itachi-senpai clearly shook her. Was this really happening to her? Even her ex professor had took part of this bizarre happenings around.

"...I lost track of the time." She lied.
"Bullshit."

"Will you watch your m-mouth and let me in first???" She growled and shivered a bit, it was indeed very cold that night.

"Not until you tell me." He said determinedly.
"Okay- I went to the hospital, spoke with my professor and that's it."

"If you're lying about having a boyfriend, I'm afraid I have to kill the guy."
"Let me cut you off there." She narrowed her eyes. "IF I do have a boyfriend, you have no right to kill him because he probably had me first. Besides, what's wrong IF I do have a boyfriend?"

"First, I hate all the heart throbbing you're feeling, second, you are mine, and last, the most important part of my point is that- I don't share my property."
"You can't lock me up in a cage! I want to fall in love someday and have a family of my own."

"As long as you're marked to me, all of that will not be possible. I'm part of your life now."
"I didn't want to be marked by you!"
"It wasn't your decision to make."
"It was yours because you're selfish and miserable and you dragged me here in your own mess and I most especially don't want you to be part of my life!! I don't see why anyone would want that!!"

She snapped. Her temper could no longer be restrained, she wasn't ready with the change, it was making her crazy, all she wanted was happiness and contentment, she wanted to continue on with her dream. After her conversation with Itachi, all she wanted was to get away and be alone for a while, she no longer felt normal and it felt like she was getting farther and farther from her dream.. worst, reality.

The two stared into the eyes of each other in silence. His eyes were back to obsidian again, Sakura knew how deep it could take her, but something about his eyes were forbidding her to enter. Sakura immediately felt bad for what she had said. She didn't know this man.. all she knew was that, he was a killer, nothing more and nothing less... but why does she feel bad for him? Why does she feel like behind this violent black hearted man, was someone who once felt pain and sadness?

"....I'm sorry." Sakura breathed.

With her words hanging in mid air, she stood on the front door... finally alone.

The raven was out of her sight.

It had been exactly 3 days since she last saw him..or rather, last argued with him.
