Sakura kicked off her shoes in her closet and changed into a simple and plain, black silky dress that reached her knees.
"Uuuugh...finally going to school after three weeks is so exhausting..." she sighed and jumped onto the bed, snuggling in the comfy pillows.
"That's why I should we should be homeschooled," Sasuke replied when he got out of his closet. He slipped on his black t-shirt and lay on the bed next to her.
"No way! I'm not leaving my friends," Sakura glared at him.
"It's irritating. The reason why I'm homeschooled is that I don't want to be constantly be surrounded by those nosy people. They never leave me alone...especially all those annoying girls." Sasuke frowned.
Sakura laughed. "Well, what do you expect? You're still their age and since you're so good looking, of course, they'll try to flirt with you."
Sasuke raised an eyebrow and his lips twitched into a mischievous grin.
"Oho. Did you just admit that you think I'm good-looking?"
Sakura blinked...then she realized what she had said. "I didn't mean it like that!" she immediately sat up.
"So then you mean I'm ugly?" Sasuke also sat up and pretended to look hurt.
"Stupid! I don't mean it like that either!"
"So I'm good looking, right?" Sasuke smirked at her.
Sakura blushed. "Will you just shut up? You know what I mean, ok?"
"Well, I think you're pretty good looking, too, Sakura," Sasuke teased.
"You-," Sakura gasped when Sasuke pinned her down on the bed.
"Will you please stop doing this to me? It's so annoying!" Sakura blushed even more and tried to get up, but Sasuke only tightened his grip on her.
"If you don't like it, then, why are you blushing? Your cheeks are turning red" Sasuke chuckled.
"Because! It's just weird when you do things like this to me! I bet you would be blushing, too, if I kept getting close to you like this!" Sakura glared at him and struggled to get out of his hold.
Sasuke wouldn't let go. "Yea, right. You don't have the guts to flirt with me like this." he laughed at her pouty expression.
"You're so....so-"
"I'm so what, Sa-ku-ra?" Sasuke purred out her name and leaned in.
Sakura froze in place. She hated it when he got close to her face. It made her heartbeat like crazy.
Sasuke's smile slowly disappeared when he noticed her innocent expression. Then he realized that he leaned in a bit too close...their noses were almost touching.
He finally let go of her, but she made no move to struggle away. Sasuke narrowed his eyes at her and dared to lean in further.
'Why isn't she pushing me away?'
Sakura laid hypnotized by his eyes. She felt Sasuke loosen his grip on her, but she didn't know why she didn't want to move. As he leaned in closer, Sakura felt the urge to close the gap between them. Hesitantly, she fluttered her eyes closed when Sasuke's forehead touched hers.
Sasuke noticed when she closed her eyes, she was trembling. He smirked.
"Do you want me to kiss you?"
Sakura's eyes jerked open. She glared at him
"You're the one who keeps leaning in, so what the h*ll are you talking about?"
"You know I'm just joking with you, buuut... if you really want a kiss from me, I'll gladly do it," Sasuke grinned.
"Go to h*ll" Sakura rolled her eyes and pushed him off of her. She scooted farther away from him and pulled the blankets up to her shoulders.
"Now if you could shut up, I want to take a nap. I'm tired."
"I'm tired, too, Sakura. Being the heir to a prestigious company and also going to a public school at the same time is more exhausting than you think?" Sasuke laid back down next to her.
"So, anyway...I was just wondering...why did you answer him that you're not going back to him? I really thought you would."
"Why would you think that?" Sakura turned around to face him.
"Well, because... you always say that you love him and you even admitted that you wanted to be with him again." Sasuke shrugged.
"Well... I thought about what you said and I think you're right. Even if I go back to him, things will never be the same again. I don't want to be in a relationship where he doesn't love wholeheartedly..." Sakura muttered.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes slightly. "....do you miss being with him?"
Sakura made a small nod. "The times with him...it was fun... and he made me happy. I honestly thought he'd be the one. I actually imagined myself being married to him, having a family, and all that, but obviously... it was all in my fantasy. Some things are just too good to be true." she took a deep breath and scooted closer to Sasuke.
Sasuke was taken by surprise when Sakura snuggled against him.
"Sorry, Sasuke... can I just stay by your side for a bit?" Sakura muttered and closed her eyes tightly.
Judging by how her lips were quivering and how she was closing her eyes. Sasuke knew she felt like crying. Slowly, he put his arms around her and pulled her until their bodies were touching.
Sakura hid her face into his shirt and took a deep breath. She didn't want to cry over Naruto anymore. He wasn't worth it.
They lay there together, both not uttering a word.
For some reason, it felt so good to be in his arms. She tensed up when she felt Sasuke kiss her forehead and she fluttered her eyes open to look at Sasuke.
Sakura blushed when he made a gentle smile at her. She never knew Sasuke could make such a loving expression.
She quickly lowered her head and closed her eyes again.
'Why is he looking at me like that?'
Sasuke couldn't help but smile at her innocence, and he admitted... he liked hugging her like this. She fitted perfectly against him.
After a while of quietness, Sasuke looked back down at her and noticed she was already asleep.
"Hn... what a weird girl...falling asleep so quick like that."
Fugaku set his pen down and sighed in relief.
"Are you done? I'm going to head home," he asked Mikoto, who just got done filing the paperwork.
"Yes, I'm done. Oh, by the way, Sasuke already took care of the meeting you had to attend this morning, so you don't have to call that company back."
"That's good. Did you see the arrangements for tomorrow's party?" Fugaku got up from the swivel chair and walked towards the door.
Mikoto followed after him. "Yes, the decorations and the schedule for it has been set already."
"Good. What about the song selections for Sasuke and Sakura's dance?"
"A few songs have been selected already."
"Good. Then everything should go smoothly."
Mikoto grinned. "It sure will, honey. Let's just hope they share a kiss in front of everyone!"
Naruto and Hinata sat quietly in the car in front of Hinata's house.
Naruto still couldn't believe that Sakura said no. He honestly thought she would come back to him.
Hinata glanced over at him and noticed his troubled expression.
"Naruto... did you want her to say yes?"
Naruto looked at her in surprise, but he couldn't find himself to say no.
"....um...I..."
Hinata let out a sigh and stared down sadly at her lap.
"You're still in love with her, aren't you?"
Naruto couldn't say no to that either.
"Naruto, is it better if we break up anyway?" Hinata asked hesitantly.
Naruto's eyes widened. "Why would you say that?"
"Well, because... I clearly saw how jealous you were when you saw Sasuke and Sakura holding hands, and I know that you still liked her when you started dating me... that's why you never told her about us. If you still have feelings for her even now... then I don't think I can take it." Hinata replied before opening the car door and stepping out.
"Hinata!" Naruto also got out of the car and followed after her. He grabbed her wrist, stopping her.
"Don't do this to me. The one I love right now is you-"
"I know that, but, how do you expect me to stay with you if I know that you still have a part of you that still loves Sakura?" Hinata stared at him, shaking her head.
"....Hinata...I've been with her for a year... I just can't forget my feelings for her so quickly. Please understand my situation..." Naruto pleaded her and loosened his grip on her wrist.
"Well, you've been with me for a year, too. You could've used that time to try and forget her." Hinata jerked her arm away from him.
"D*mnit, it's not that easy Hinata!" Naruto suddenly exclaimed.
Hinata's eyes widened. He never yelled at her like that before.
"You can't just expect me to forget her easily. She was the first person I've ever loved-"
"So why did you leave her?" Hinata interrupted.
Naruto stood speechless.
Hinata looked at him sadly before turning to go.
Naruto stood there, watching her walk away. 'I can't lose her, too...'
Without another thought, he quickly followed her again and suddenly hugged her from behind.
"....because I fell in love with you."
Hinata stayed quiet for a few moments.
"...is your love for me stronger than your than your love for her-"
"Yes, it is. That's why I'm with you right now....not her." Naruto turned her around so that she faced him.
"...really?" Hinata doubted.
Naruto gave her a gentle kiss and nodded. "Really."
Sasuke ended up falling asleep also. When he woke up, it was already 7 PM.
He blinked when he felt something against him. He then remembers that Sakura was sleeping in his arms.
Sasuke got up slowly, careful not to disturb her. He froze when Sakura stirred a bit, but he sighed in relief when she didn't wake up.
Sasuke smiled while staring at her face. He would never get tired of seeing her sleeping face..she always looked so peaceful and beautiful...just like an angel.
'Ah...sh*t. My parents are probably home already...' Sasuke took one last glance at Sakura before getting off the bed. He stretched a bit and straightened out his outfit before opening the door.
Sasuke ran downstairs and found his parents sitting in the living room.
"Hey, honey! Where's Sakura?" Mikoto smiled at him.
"Oh, we just took a nap after school. She's still asleep upstairs." Sasuke replied and plopped down on the couch.
"Did you get everything ready for tomorrow's party?" Fugaku asked.
"Yea. I'm all set. All I need is our outfits, so my stylists will come tomorrow morning before the party."
"Oh! We have a special dance for you and Sakura at the end of the party... in honor of your marriage that helped the company's status, we're dedicating the last dance to you two..." Mikoto chirped happily.
Sasuke gaped. "What? Why? You know Sakura isn't used to being in front of so many people. She's so nervous, but she does her best to try and fit in with our family. I don't think dancing in front of all those people would be a good idea...she doesn't even know how to dance."
"Well, you can teach her," Fugaku smirked.
"We don't have the time. The party is tomorrow." Sasuke shook his head.
"That's even better! She'll be dancing with plenty of other men, so she'll be pretty good by the time of the last dance." Mikoto grinned.
"Are you sure...?" Sasuke doubted.
"I hope she will be."
"You guys are putting too much pressure on her." Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"She'll have to know how to handle it, and besides, you'll be there to help her," Fugaku replied.
"Well, I think she's doing fine. She's not used to being the wife of the heir of a huge company but I love how she's trying very hard to help us. She's done an excellent job this past week, so I think she'll be a fine lady by the time Sasuke takes over the company." Mikoto said proudly.
Sasuke smirked. His mother really loved Sakura.
'Well, I guess she's right, Sakura's been doing really good lately...'
---------------------------------NEXT MORNING------------------------------------
Sakura woke up in bed to see a rack full of clothes.
"What the...?" she fluttered her eyes and sat up.
"Hurry up and get dressed. We're gonna leave for the party at noon." Sasuke said just as he came out of the closet.
"What's will all these new clothes?"
Sakura muttered sleepily.
"I told you that my stylists were going to bring some outfits. Choose a dress from that rack and get ready." Sasuke replied as he put on his tie.
"Ugh...so early." Sakura snuggled back into her blanket.
"It's not early...It's already eleven o'clock. Hurry up." Sasuke glared at her.
"I don't want toooo. I thought the party was going to be later tonight... not in the morning...." Sakura yawned.
"Well, too bad. It's in the morning." Sasuke turned back to his closet and chose a pair of black leather shoes.
"Sakura get up."
Sakura ignored him.
Sasuke put on his shoes and sighed.
"Sakura...I'm gonna count to three."
"I don't care..." Sakura mumbled.
"One." Sasuke started.
Sakura didn't stir.
"....Two."
Sakura still didn't bother to get up.
"Two and a half..." Sasuke crossed his arms.
Sakura didn't even budge.
"Alright. You asked for it. Three." Sasuke replied.
Sakura shrieked when she felt a pair of arms go under her and lifted her up from the bed. "Sasuke! Let go!"
"Nope. Until you agree to get ready right now, I'm gonna keep carrying you." Sasuke smirked.
"Ok, ok! I'll get ready! Geez..." Sakura exclaimed.
Sasuke gently put her down and laughed.
"Hurry up. Be downstairs in 30 minutes."
"What? Thirty minutes? I need at least an hour to do my makeup, too!"
"Too bad, it's your fault for waking up late." Sasuke shrugged and walked over to the door and left the room before she could reply.
"Ugh...he's so...ugh!"
Sasuke ended up waiting for an hour anyways.
"That d*mn brat..." he let out a frustrated sigh. "Why is she taking so long?"
He heard high heels clacking and finally saw Sakura running down the stairs.
"Stupid! Don't run down the stairs with heels!" Sasuke scolded and walked over to her.
"I'm fine! It's not like I'm gonna fall or anything-" Sakura gasped when she tripped over the last step.
Sasuke's eyes widened and he quickly caught her before she hit the ground.
"That's exactly what's gonna happen." he rolled his eyes.
"Oh, shut up. It's not my fault that you guys make me wear like 5 inch high heels." Sakura pushed him away.
"Anyways, do I look good enough?"
Sasuke stepped back and looked at her from top to bottom. She was wearing a white halter dress that reached her knees, decorated with sparkling diamonds. The middle of the dress tightened up to push up her breasts and showed her curves perfectly.
"Yea, it looks good." he smiled at her.
Sakura smiled back and sighed in relief.
"Now come on. My parents already left to greet early guests." Sasuke grabbed her hand and dragged her along.
"There's gonna be a lot of people again, right?" Sakura asked.
"Of course."
Sasuke opened the car door for her and closed it when she got in. He quickly ran over to his side and started the car.
"Neji just called me a few minutes ago. They're arriving over at the party in ten minutes." Sasuke replied.
"Uh-huh...and what about Karin?" Sakura asked hesitantly.
"She texted me earlier and said she'll be there in a bit....why do you wanna know?" he smirked.
"I'm just asking, ok?" Sakura glared at him.
"Really? Or are you wishing she doesn't come so that you can have me all to yourself?" Sasuke grinned and nudged at her.
"Ew! I can't believe you just said that!" Sakura pretended to gag.
Sasuke chuckled at her disgusted face.
"You're such an *ssh*le, seriously." Sakura crossed her arms.
"Don't deny the fact that you're jealous of Karin." Sasuke teased.
"Jealous? Of her?! Why the h*ll would I be jealous?"
"Oh, face it. Because she has me, and since you like me, you're jealous of her."
"What the....? Who said I ever liked you? If you were the last male on earth, I still wouldn't fall in love with you!" Sakura glared at him.
"Heh, if you were the last female on earth, I wouldn't fall in love with you either" Sasuke shrugged.
"Good!" Sakura scoffed and looked out the window.
Sasuke couldn't help but smile at her attitude. She was so easy to mess with.
Sakura sat quietly with her arms crossed, looking out the window.
There was nothing but silence as Sasuke drove to the party.
"When are they gonna be here?" Mikoto sighed anxiously.
"They're probably coming right now," Fugaku reassured her.
"But everyone's here already. They're 20 minutes late!" Mikoto whispered and looked at the crowd.
"Don't worry they'll-" Fugaku was cut off as the door swung open to reveal Sasuke and Sakura.
"....be here." he finished and smirked at Mikoto.
Sakura smiled when the cameras started flashing. "It's been over a month. Why are they still taking our pictures as if we're a new couple or something?" she muttered to Sasuke.
"There's gonna be cameras no matter how the situation is, Sakura," Sasuke replied quietly as he guided her through the crowd, trying to reach his parents.
"What took you guys so long?" Mikoto asked.
"Sorry...Sakura woke up late."
"I'm sorry for making everyone wait." Sakura apologized and bowed her head.
"It's fine. As long as you guys are here, then we can start the party." Fugaku replied and turned to face the crowd.
"I'm sorry for the little delay. My son and daughter-in-law are here now, so the party officially starts now. Help yourselves to food, drinks, dancing, and enjoy your afternoon." Fugaku announced.
Sakura was taken by surprise when some music suddenly came on. She watched as people started to scatter to their own conversations and some people were already walking over to the dance floor.
"Do you want to dance first?" Sasuke asked.
"Um...I want to eat a few snacks first. We didn't eat breakfast." Sakura mumbled.
Sasuke laughed. "Of course, fatty."
"You're so rude!" Sakura glared at him.
"Shh... watch your mouth. You have to act properly." Sasuke held her hand. taking her with him to the food table.
Sakura was about to reach for a strawberry, but someone tapped her shoulder. She turned around to see Suigetsu grinning at her and the other guys beside him.
"Hey Sakura!" he greeted.
"Oh, hey guys!" Sakura smiled at them.
"You look hot as always." Juugo winked.
"Ahahaha...yea..." Sakura replied awkwardly.
"Why'd you two show up so late?" Sai asked.
"Sakura was being a lazy*ss, so she woke up late." Sasuke rolled his eyes.
Sakura just glared at him.
"Well...since you two are here...Sasuke, you wouldn't mind I have the first dance with Sakura, would you? Please?" Suigetsu looked at Sasuke with puppy eyes.
"You can all dance with her all you want I gotta go find Karin, anyway," Sasuke shrugged.
"Really? Oho, then I can't wait for my turn." Juugo had a perverted expression on.
"Don't you dare lay a finger on her, though," Sasuke said seriously.
"Oh? Getting a little protective huh?" Neji smirked.
"I'm not. It's just that the media and the paparazzi are here also, so don't do anything weird." Sasuke warned before walking away to find Karin.
Sakura stood awkwardly with all the five guys staring at her.
"So? May I have this dance?" Suigetsu held out his hand to her.
Sakura hesitated, but she took his hand.
"I'm totally winning this bet, you guys," Suigetsu winked at the other guys.
"What bet?" Sakura blinked.
"Oh, nothing." Suigetsu shook his head and pulled her head with him to the dancefloor.
"Ah... but I don't know how to dance..." Sakura muttered.
"It's alright. Step on my shoes."
"What? They'll get dirty! and I'm wearing high heels, so-"
"It's fine. Just step on my shoes." Suigetsu urged on.
"Well..why?" Sakura asked.
"Just do it."
Sakura pouted, but she obeyed. She stepped closer to him and put her feet on top of his. Surprisingly, he was still taller than her.
Suigetsu held her hand and with the other hand, her wrist, pulling her closer.
Sakura blushed at how close they were.
"Don't worry. Just relax..." Suigetsu started moving his feet.
Sakura felt like she was on a cloud. She was dancing...but at the same time, she wasn't. She averted her eyes down to her feet, which were on his, and tried to memorize his steps. If she was going to dance with the other guys, too, she might as well learn now.
Sasuke finally found Karin near a group of middle-aged men.
"Karin." he tapped her shoulder and smiled at her when she turned around.
"Sasuke!" Karin was about to hug him but stopped her.
"Not here..." he whispered.
"Oh, right." Karin laughed and stepped back.
"When did you get here?"
"Since this morning. Why were you and Sakura so late?"
"She overslept." Sasuke shrugged.
"Oh, I see." Karin giggled.
"So...since the media is here, we can't really do anything but dance. You want to?" Sasuke held out his hand to her.
"Of course." Karin smiled happily and took his hand.
They both walked over to the dancefloor and started to dance slow.
"It's been a whole month. This whole marriage thing is really pissing me off, you know. I don't get to see you anymore..." Karin stared at him sadly.
"I know, I'm sorry... I've been so busy lately, so I never had the chance to meet up with you. It's fine, though, right? We can have our time here." Sasuke put his forehead on hers.
"But it's not enough. We only get to dance for a little while." Karin frowned.
"I'll see if I can clear my schedule tomorrow for you. If I can, then I'll come over to your house."
"Really? Aw, thank you, sweetie.." Karin leaned up to kiss him, but he turned away.
"Remember, not here." Sasuke reminded her.
"Oh, yea. I'm sorry. I just really miss you and when I finally get to see you. I don't even get a kiss." Karin pouted.
"Maybe later," Sasuke said while twirling her.
"Fine. But you owe me."
When Sakura danced with Sai, she was still struggling, but he was patient enough to guide her carefully through the steps.
When it was Juugo's turn, Sakura was having a difficult time concentrating on glancing since all Juugo could talk about was him and her bed...and ...yea.
It was Neji's turn now.
'Ok. I think I have the steps down.'
Sakura took a deep breath.
"You look beautiful today." Neji complimented as he placed a kiss on her hand.
"Th...Thank you..." Sakura blushed.
Neji held her waist and pulled her closer to him. Their bodies were nearly touching.
Sakura gulped. Her face was right by his neck...she could hear him breathing in her ear and it sent shivers through down her spine.
"Hn. Are you nervous?" Neji's lips cracked into a small smile.
"Uh...just a little... I'm really not used to it yet..." Sakura murmured.
"You'll be just fine," Neji reassured her.
A new song started, and they started dancing.
Sakura carefully moved along with Neji, cautious not to mess up.
"Oh? You're quite good at dancing, aren't you?" Neji raised an eyebrow.
"I was just memorizing the steps when I danced with the other guys," Sakura replied.
"Well, you're excellent for a beginner." Neji once again complimented her.
Sakura gasped when she took a step forward when she wasn't supposed to, and almost stepped on his shoe.
"Aha...not that good."
"It's ok. It's not that hard, you'll get better." Neji encouraged her.
"Thank you." Sakura found herself smiling at him.
After a few minutes, the song ended.
"I'll take it from here." Gaara walked up to Neji.
"Of course... but don't get so cocky, Gaara. I'll be the one to win the bet," Neji smirked before walking away.
"What is this 'bet' that you guys keep talking about?" Sakura asked curiously.
Gaara grabbed her hand and dragged her to him.
"You don't have to know."
"But, I'm curious. Can you tell me?" Sakura pleaded.
"Nope." Gaara bluntly replied.
Sakura frowned and averted her eyes away from him.
"Heh. You really are childish. If you don't get what you want, you'll put on that pouty face." Gaara smirked.
"What? I am not-" she gasped when the song started and Gaara suddenly took a step back, pulling her forward harshly.
"Shut up and just dance with me," Gaara muttered huskily in her ear.
D*mn. It doesn't matter how many times he did that, Sakura still got chills.
Sasuke danced with a few other girls, but he finally gets to dance with Karin again.
"Wouldn't it be weird if the media saw you dancing with me twice?" Karin asked.
"Nah. They probably won't notice." Sasuke shrugged.
"Well then, try to sneak a third dance with me, ok?" Karin winked at him.
"I'll try." Sasuke nodded.
"It's so fun dancing with you. Ugh...I wish we had more time together. I would love to dance with you all day..." Karin laid her head on his chest and danced slower.
"Me too, Karin." Sasuke smiled.
"By the way, you better not get close to Sakura. I'll be mad if you end up having some feelings for her." Karin warned.
"Heh. Feelings for her? Why would I ever?" Sasuke scoffed.
"Hm. Speaking of her... she's dancing with Gaara over there..." Karin pointed.
Sasuke looked to where she was pointing and saw Sakura and Gaara dancing.
"Oh, yea. I told her to dance with my friends." Sasuke replied.
"That's a good idea...so you don't have to dance with her right?" Karin laughed.
"Ah, yea" Sasuke nodded blankly.
But somehow, he couldn't get his eyes off of them.
The song they were dancing to was longer than expected.
"It's been six minutes already. Normally, songs are just 3 to 4 minutes." Sakura sighed.
"Hn. Why? You don't want to dance with me anymore?" Gaara raised an eyebrow.
"Ah, no. I didn't mean it like that! I meant this song is just a little long-"
"That's good, right?" Gaara made a small smile and leaned in closer to her.
Sakura moved her head back and looked away shyly. She hated it whenever he got so close to her.
"Are you nervous when you're with me?" Gaara unexpectedly asked.
"U....um... kind of. Well, I'm pretty much nervous with all of you-"
"But, I'm guessing I'm the one who makes you more nervous than all of them, judging by the fact that whenever you're with me, you seem to be at loss for words."
"I'm just not used to being in close contact with boys that I really don't know," Sakura replied quietly, still not daring to look at him.
"Well, you can be more comfortable around me if we get to know each other better." Gaara paused and leaned down to her ear. "...since this marriage is fake, there's no wrong in talking to other guys, Sakura."
"W...what?" Sakura blushed.
"I'd like to give it a try with you. Starting off as friends is fine with me, but let me tell you something." Gaara pulled back a few strands of hair, tucking them gently behind her ear.
"What I said a month ago to you wasn't a lie. I might just steal you from Sasuke and I won't give up until you're mine."
Sakura couldn't believe what he just said. This guy, whom she only met four or five times in her life, is already confessing to her that he wants to go out with her. What. The. H*ll.
"Um...I'm sorry Gaara. I barely know you, so-"
"That's why I said we can just start out as friends. It's fine, right?"
Sakura didn't know what to say. Sure, she admits he was attractive, good-looking, and she isn't going to deny that he made her heart race, but....she just wasn't positive about the whole situation.
"Sakura. Look at me."
Sakura could feel her cheeks getting hot. Slowly, she turned her head to face and looked up at his captivating mint-green eyes.
"Are you going to answer me?" Gaara smirked.
"I...I don't know...I-" Sakura paused when Gaara started to lean in again. He put his forehead on hers and closed his eyes.
"You know...I've never met a girl like you. You're really interesting..."
Sakura was about to respond, but the song finally stopped.
When the song stopped, Sasuke didn't even care that Karin was there anymore.
He kept his eyes on Sakura and Gaara the whole time and he wasn't exactly happy at what he saw.
"Sasuke? You ok?" Karin raised an eyebrow.
Sasuke didn't bother to answer her. He let go of her and walked over to Gaara and Sakura.
Gaara slowly let go of Sakura's waist, but he kept holding her hand.
"Sakura."
Sasuke's voice tore Sakura's gaze away from Gaara.
Sakura quickly snatched away her hand from Gaara's, seeing Sasuke's pissed face.
"Time's up, Gaara. My turn to have the last dance with my wife." Sasuke glared at Gaara before dragging Sakura with him.
"Sasuke, that was rude! and... can you be a little gentler? People are staring, and you're hurting me..." Sakura winced when he only tightened his grasp on her wrist.
Sasuke stopped and turned to face her. A few people were staring, but he didn't care. He saw the media in a corner, busy talking to his parents, so there's no big deal. He turned his attention to Sakura just when another song started.
"What the h*ll was that? Whenever you're with him, you two always seem as if you like each other. Why are you always blushing whenever you're with him?" Sasuke glared at her.
"Because! He kept getting close to me, so I just kept getting nervous, and...and he isn't that bad as a guy, you know." Sakura muttered.
"I told you to be careful in public. All these people say you two looking all lovey-dovey and-"
"It's not like that! Besides, why are you getting so mad? It's none of your business if I talk to a guy or not-"
"Yes, it is my business! You're my g*dd*mn wife, Sakura!" Sasuke exclaimed.
"Why are you using that lame excuse? Just because we're legally married, doesn't mean that you meddle with who I talk to or anything like that!" Sakura argued back.
"Shut up! From now on, you're not allowed to talk to him, you got it?!"
"How could you say that! You don't own me!" Sakura tried to jerk away from his grasp, but he wouldn't let go.
"You're mine, Sakura!" Sasuke suddenly blurted out without even thinking.
"No, I'm not! You act as if I belong to you-"
Sakura didn't get to finish as Sasuke, without warning, leaned down and crashed his lips on hers.
