The lightest memories

8. Our second reunion

Through a little bird,I had heard that you have broken free from Orochimaru's scaly grip. I truly felt pleased to hear this, but I wanted to see you for myself.

but when I came to your hideout,I ran into this woman with bright red hair and glasses. she didn't look like the nicest person,nor did she look like she was going to tell me about you. I do apologize for being too loud and attacking your friend, do you forgive me? your friend seemed to have been mesmerized by something or exhausted, whichever the case may be.I had to end her quick.

Oh do not fear,the girl is alive,but she'll feel it all when she awakens.

You were alone when I met you. thinking. plotting. you had that very look on your face that made me blush. you looked so seriously,I wanted to lighten the mood, but that was no going to happen.

"I told you to stay away." you scolded me like a master teaching his puppy not to waste on the wooden floors.

"Orochimaru is dead. you met with Naruto again,haven't you?"

before you could even reply. the girl had come back, holding her face (more distinct, her nose). "I'm so sorry,Sasuke. I had her, but..." When her eyes met mine, fire flared in them. You stood infront of me and hid me,holding me still.

I would've handled her,you know. the girl looked puzzled, her eyes were locked with yours as you said something to her.

"Leave her alone. go check on Jugo."

it was like the way you order her around...it was like she was in love with you.

"Hey..." I looked at you your hands were laced in mine. "I know a place where we can go."

we traveled down the long halls of the cavern. I couldn't understand how you walked in the dark, but we saw a glow of light. blue and read and luminous.it was beautiful. below us was a large pool of hot water.

you explained to me that this is where you relax alone. shortly you undressed yourself, like a reflex I covered my eyes. my ears were red. my eyes were wide, and my heart-I was nervous.

"Uzume,correct me if I'm wrong,but we did practically everything together, didn't we?"

I nodded.

there was a splash. then I had seen you in the water,learning forward wuth your arms folded on the firty ground.

"so c'mon, bathe with me." you demanded, the smirk on your face spelled trouble. you were such a bad boy. And I knew I couldn't do it.

I never should've have came here.

you must've read my mind, because you got out of the water and touched me. your hands down my neck and body until you stopped at my sash.

"What are you doing?" I muttered.

you didn't respond to me, just taking off my clothes and holding me close to your soaking wet body.

My heart stopped.

We were in the water- you could see everything. your hands were viciously attacking me as you took off the tape on my legs and arms.

"You wanted this to happen,didn't you?"

I didn't answer. we started at each other and you smiled; for the first time in years. you smiled at me. And then you kissed me.

My first kiss.

My first heartbeat.

My first time.

All went to you. The boy I loved. your lips wouldn't leave me, even as my back went againt the rock bolder. you wouldn't stop. your hands held mine as your mouth sucked on my neck; you had control of me.

Do you not remember me that night,Sasuke? when you carried me back to where you slept and we were adults for that moment. we expressed our love for another as we did those sacred deeds-as we became one. 

I had awakened with you holding me. I saw you bruise and touched them, you shifted to your back, and I had seen your Mark. The seal that bonded you with hatred- and Orochimaru.

I wanted to free you from it, every last ounce of hatred. I wanted it gone from your body. from your heart.

I pressed my lips onto your back,right over your mark.

I had always believed that you would be the one to leave after sleeping with someone. To forget that things happened with us.  Clearly I was wrong. I was very wrong. was this how we slept now? do we wake up holding each other, instead of holding each other's hands? Did you not want to let go?

I knew what this was what love was. Especially when you asked me to join you to kill Itachi.
