HIM&I

Chapter 11

I can't believe Sasuke is back. He looked so different. His hair no longer stuck up in the back due to a bit of hair gel.

He did wear a suit but had dress pants and a polo shirt. He looked good. I don't know if I should forgive him. It wasn't his fault for leaving, but it was his fault for not saying goodbye. I found Naruto in the halls.

"Hey Sakura!"

"Naruto he's back," I said.

"Early! That's great!" He said.

"It's not I don't know if I should forgive him."

"I think you two should talk about it," he said. "I mean you are married and it's not like you can get a divorce too."

"Okay I don't know if he's still on campus or not."

"We'll go find him together," Naruto said and we left.

I tried calling him but he didn't answer. We searched around hotels until we finally found the one he was in.

"Sorry miss but we can't tell you what room he's in unless you can prove you are his wife," the clerk said.

I pulled out my phone and asked Mikoto for a picture of our marriage certificate. I showed it to the lady and she gave us his room number.

While in the elevator I was slightly freaking out. The elevator started making weird noises. There was a crack and the elevator shifted.

"Naruto?" I asked.

"The elevator is going to fall. We need to get out."

He opened the doors with his strength and there was a wall.

"Great stuck between two floors," he said. "Get on my back."

I slowly made my way to him. He opened the top of the elevator and climbed out. He had a firm grip until he started climbing. My hands started slipping. Naruto made it to the next floor. The stub on the elevator snapped and it raced down to the bottom of the building.

I tried to readjust my hands and legs but lost my grip. I slipped off his back and started falling. I grabbed one of the cables.

Naruto started freaking out. I wrapped my feet around the cable and pulled out my phone.

"Hello? Sakura?" Sasuke answered.

"Sasuke? We need help, Naruto and I got stuck. Ah!" The cord started breaking.

"Which elevator?"

"Third."

The phone cut out. I struggled to hold on the rope and get my phone in my pocket.

The door Naruto was holding onto finally opened. Sasuke was there. He helped Naruto out first. Then assessed what was happening. The cords started  breaking again.

He climbed down the side of the wall. When he reached where I was be held his hand out.

I tried to reach over but the cord started snapping again.

"I can't!" I said looking down.

"Don't look down! Just swing and grab my hand!" He said reaching out.

"I can't! What if I don't reach you?!" I yelled back.

"Trust me," he said gently.

Everything in my froze. His voice was as gentle and kind as everyday I've spent with him. He is the same Sasuke. I reached my hand out and swung. I jumped off he rope just as it snapped.

I closed my eyes. Something warm grabbed my hand. I opened my eyes and Sasuke was holding my tenderly. He breathing was staggered and shaky.

His hand was on my head calming me down. He started climbing the wall. When we got to the top Sasuke sat on the floor still holding me. I gripped his shirt. The security guards burst out of the  staircase door. A fire truck and police officers were called. Naruto and Sasuke quickly got me to Sasuke's room.

"Stay here. If they see you here their going to pound you with questions on if your pregnant or have a child. They haven't seen you in public for two years.
I want you to be safe." Sasuke said.

I nodded and laid down on the bed.

SASUKE POV

I left Sakura in my room. We went back to the elevator accident. The press surrounded us and asked a bunch of questions. We pushed past them and went to talk with the police.

"What happened to the elevator?" Naruto asked.

"Well it looks like a wire was cut. And they're dusting for finger prints. What ever happened was not an accident. Was it just you two?"

"No my wife was also in this mess but she's back in my room."

"Okay but the police will need her statement on what happened," the cop said. I saw a small tiny in his eyes. "Also we will have a private officer with her and mr. Uzumaki at all times."

"That's not necessary. Naruto can take car of himself and i will take care of Sakura," I said looking him dead in the eye.

"I'll have to talk it over with my supervisors," he said and left.

Naruto and I fought back up to my room. Sakura was at the balcony. Her now long pink hair cascading down her back blew in the wind.

Naruto went on the second floor and left Sakura and I alone.

"Sasuke? Do you think this person who did something to the elevator is the same one from two years ago?" She asked.

"How did you know someone did something?"

"I saw police outside they were asking about what happened. They also put the place in lock down," she said. "And the way the wires were broken. The break was too clean."

I smiled and walked up to her.

"Hey we need to talk about the past couple years," I whispered.

"I agree," she said monotoned.

I grabbed her hand and led her to the couch.

"I know you must have something to say," she folded her arms.

"I do. I'm sorry I left you. And I'm even more sorry that I left without a goodbye and that I thought leaving a note was fine," I said.

"Why?" She asked. "Why did you do it?"

"I did it to make a better life for you. If I didn't go my father would force Itachi to take it and I would no longer be part of the family. I did it to keep your life happy. So you could keep any luxury you've ever had. I wanted our child to grow up with no worries," I said tearing up.

"I don't need money to be happy I've always loved you. Even if you weren't part of a wealthy family. I never cared about that. I only cared about us. And children can always wait," she said putting her hand on my face.

"I'm so sorry," I whispered tears falling out of my eyes like water falls.

Sakura wiped them away with her thumb. She pulled me closer to her. I put my hand on her waist. She felt thin and fragile. I lifted her sort a bit and felt her ribs.

"Have you been eating okay?" I asked looking up at her.

"No, I don't eat much lately," she said.

I got up and wiped my tears. I went and ordered room service. They brought a lot of food.

"Sakura I need you to eat all of this even if you throw up," I said looking tenderly at her.

"But-"

"I don't want you to starve. I can't lose you not again," I said kissing her forehead.

"Okay," she said and started eating.

Naruto walked into the room.

"Hey," he said.

We said hello and then went back to our own business.

After an hour, Sakura sat with me on the couch. I don't know if she fully trusts me.

I stroked her hair, she looked up to meet my eyes.

"Will you ever leave me again?"
