The Choice (SasuSaku)

Chapter 23

A week has passed since that day and everything seemed to change. I was told that Neji repaired Naruto's necklace and apologized to him which really caught me by surprise. Although I was relieved that they solved their problems and were now starting to get along making Hinata very happy. But that wasn't all. Sasuke had been acting a little strange lately and I couldn't figure it out why. After that magical night where our problems went away, he started to want to be with me all the time. He would take me everywhere I wanted to go and we even shared a couple of romantic dinners in restaurants. It's like all the past events changed him and every time he saw me it was like he hasn't been with me for ages which was making me a little bit suspicious. But letting that go I started to think about Madara again. Ever since the day I saw him for the first time I wasn't able to find more information about him and that was driving me crazy.

I let out a sigh as I looked at myself in the mirror. I was wearing a light pink dress with black boots and my hair was on his natural way, a combination that I loved. Me and Sasuke were going out for dinner at his house so I had to go well dressed. I mean, there wasn't a special occasion but we didn't need it.

Once I heard the bell ring I confirmed if I had everything I needed and quickly grabbed my purse and phone, getting out of my bedroom. I came downstairs seeing that Sasuke was at the door talking with my parents. I really loved the fact that they got along so well, it was like a dream come true. And on the exact moment that I got closer to them, our eyes met and it was like the first time we looked at each other. I couldn't help but to show him a smile while he smirked at me. Sasuke was wearing a white shirt, jeans and a pair of black sneakers and looked really hot. I started to daydream about the intimate moments Sasuke and I already shared until a voice interrupted me.

"Hey, Sakura. Ready to go?" Sasuke gave me his hand without hiding his smirk because he knew exactly what I was thinking.

"Hm... Yes, sorry. I was just a little distracted." I apologized, grabbing his hand. "See you later, mom and dad." I now looked at my parents with a smile.

"See you, honey. And take good care of her, Sasuke." My mom smiled at him and I couldn't help but to let out a small laugh.

"Don't worry, Mebuki. Sakura's safe with me." He said nicely and after we bid our goodbyes we left my house starting to walk to his house.

"So what did you do today?" I started the conversation because this was the first time we were together today.

"The usual... Played video games with Naruto and slept." He muttered, looking at me as we walked side by side with our fingers intertwined. "What about you?"

"Well, I met the girls at Ino's and we took the time to talk about everything. You know, the usual girls stuff." I smiled.

"I missed you." Sasuke said after a couple of seconds. I loved when he was sweet with me but now this has just caught me by surprise. He looked weird and I couldn't understand why.

"I missed you too, babe." I felt my cheeks getting hotter and stopped walking which made him do the same. "Is everything alright? You've been acting a little bit odd since that night..." I let go of his hand, grabbing his face between my hands and faced his amazing onyx eyes.

"I'm fine, don't worry." He hugged my waist remaining with his calm posture. "I just feel like spending more time with you... Especially because we'll be leaving for college in less than a month." So that's what he was worried about.

"You're concerned about us going to different colleges, aren't you? Sasuke, I love you and no matter where we are nothing will ever change that." I gave him a comforting smile, kissing him afterwards. He kissed me back and when I broke the kiss, I hugged him, hiding my face on his shoulder. I tried to play it cool but it was getting harder. I had to tell him that I've been accepted in a college in Australia. I tried to get rid of those thoughts as I felt his arms hugging me tightly.

"I love you too, baby... God, I love you so fucking much." He whispered on my ear, kissing my cheek after but I could feel his tensed body. There was something I didn't know. However, this wasn't the night to talk about that.


We returned our walking as we talked about other topics in order to avoid all the college situation. And a part of me was glad we did that. A couple of minutes later we were in front of his building and while he opened the door I was looking around us. I couldn't explain why but I felt like someone was watching us.

"Are you going to stay there?" Sasuke's voice interrupted my thoughts. I looked at him seeing that he had a confused expression on his face.

"What?" I came back to reality. "No, I was just looking around." I showed him a shy laugh getting inside. Sasuke decided not to say anything and we went to his apartment in silence.


We were now sat on the couch after a long and silent dinner. Ever since we got here none of us said anything which was starting to piss me off. We cooked and ate in silence and I knew something was on his mind. But I couldn't hold it anymore so before I was capable of controlling myself the words just left my mouth.

"Sasuke, what the hell is going on?" I looked at him with a serious expression on my face being able to see him caught off guard. "You've been acting really weird lately and I know something's on your mind. So when are you going to tell me the truth?" The anxiety inside me started to grow and I was doing my best to try control my emotions.

"Sakura..." He started to say but I immediately interrupted him.

"No, Sasuke. It has been a week and I want to know everything. Especially what's going on between you and your uncle." I finally asked what I wanted to know for so long. He seemed a little surprised with my words but quickly composed himself.

"Sakura, I'll explain everything to you just... Promise me you'll listen till the end." Sasuke muttered, holding my hands as our eyes met. I just nodded my head, waiting for him to talk again. And after taking a deep breath, he finally spoke. "I'm leaving to the U.S. in a month because Madara enrolled me in a police school there. He said that it was my father's dream." Sasuke explained as his words cut like knifes. He was leaving in a month. And so was I.

"Why didn't you tell me before?" It was all I could manage to say before feeling tears running down my face.
