Sakura's POV

I went home, knowing that I would have to face her. I'm honestly dreading the moment I have to look at her pityful face. She better be well aware I want answers. Now.

My sad expression never left my face. Although, after Itachi left, there was a hint of confusion. I don't understand what the point of telling me that was. He came for two minutes, then left. I remember the way he winked at me. It wasn't arrogant, nor flirty. It was more of an inspiring wink. It may sound weird, but it would connect to what he said to me before.

Just look out for yourself.

Wait, didn't other people say that to me? Thinking back, it's true. Anything that had to do with Deidara, someone said that to me. Wait. . .

Did Itachi know that I'm going to have to marry Deidara? No, that can't be possible. My mother, Gaara, Deidara, and I are the only ones who know about this. Not to mention, the conversation between Mom and Deidara about the marriage happened only a couple hours ago. Did news really travel that fast? That's strange. Deidara couldn't have told the media or the public about this. If so, I should be seeing cameras and reporters asking questions about the marriage at my doorstep.

My question was answered. There was no one at my doorstep. So how did Itachi know? Or maybe he didn't know and it was just ironic. Right? I could just be overthinking everything.

Pushing the thought aside, I reach the door. I bite down on my bottom lip, dreading seeing my Mom. Don't get me wrong, I love my Mother to death. I just feel betrayed. I'm aware Deidara probably blackmailed her, but was it that easy to just sell me out like that? 

My hand reaches the door handle, and I slowly open the door. Before I could even look into the house, arms wrap around my figure quickly. I feel the shaking from my Mom's body, and I can hear the sobs.

"I-I thought I lost you too." She says from her muffled cries.

I didn't answer. As a matter of fact, my face was completely blank. I'm not ready to cry or scream yet. I actually don't know what to do with my emotions right now. It seemed everything was so blended and mixed together, that I don't know how to react.

I finally said, "We need to talk."

Sasuke's POV

The sun is beginning to set, and I decided I would take a long walk. I needed to clear my thoughts. I need to get her out of my mind. All I've been doing lately, is trying to convince myself that I don't love her. I don't need her. I don't want her. My inner-self is probably chuckling at that last part.

I don't understand! My mind keeps telling me 'she's just a girl. You don't like her. You can do better.' But my heart is telling me different. All these thoughts of Sakura are mashing into one, making me want her. I'm lying to myself, but I can't cope with that. I'm only a highschooler, and graduation is coming in two days. It's so useless to think about her, knowing that I'll most likely be going to a different college than she is. That's an understatement. I KNOW I will be going to a different college.

I'm smart in academics, she's not. Hell, she couldn't even make a B in Math. It's silly really. She's actually quite stupid. Then I remembered what Itachi told me. Her Dad died. That could be a major reason for her grades. I'm so heartless. I wish I never said that in my mind.

Clouds began getting darker, and night was to come any minute now. My steps took me into the small city, where all businesses and restaurants were. People were beginning to leave, due to the weather. I was now alone. The streets had lights along the sidewalks and it finally became dark. A small drop fell on my head, and rain began pouring.

Sakura's POV

"I understand now." I sighed.

"I know sweetie. I'm so sorry. I tried to reason with him, but-"

"I said I understand." I looked at her, "I'll marry him."

"What?! No-" I stopped her.

"I don't want to risk our money. That's all we have. I rather you be happy than me anyways. Besides, maybe this is my chance to take back Haruno Web Industries." I reasoned.

"Don't you dare put my happiness before yours." Her tone became strict, "I'm your mother. You come before me. I don't want you to marry him."

"You can't do anything about it, Mom. You know he will tear this family apart if I don't accept. As much as I would like to decline, I can't. It's time I make my own choices and accept. This is for the good of us."

I get up from my seat on the couch, and walk towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Mom asks.

I grab an umbrella, and open the door, "I'm going to accept." Then I closed the door.

It wasn't raining yet, but I know it will soon. The sky was becoming darker and darker, and gray clouds were moving in. My pace grew faster, because I just wanted to get this over with.

After about ten minutes of speed walking, I finally reached the front of Haruno Web Industries. I began walking slowly up the long steps, leading to the front entrance. The rain started pouring right when I was under the overhang of the building. I walked in, and there was only the usual desk lady. She didn't look up at me, so I went into the elevator. Once I clicked the Floor 21 button, I could feel the small room beginning to rise. My heart began racing, knowing I was dreading this.

The ding of the elevator was heard, representing that I had reached my destination. The elevator doors opened, and I was left with one single door down a narrow hallway. Here goes nothing.

I walked slowly down the hallway. The wooden block that seperates my soon-to-be husband is intimidating me to be honest. I stood in front of the door, and knocked lightly.

"Come in." His deep voice said.

I hesitantly walked into the large room, and kept my head down. I heard a light gasp and a snicker.

"Hello Sakura. Won't you look up at me?" Deidara taunted.

I did as told, and looked up at his attractive face. He was smirking at me, and I know I want to cut this short.

"I only came here to accept. I will marry you."

"Excellent." He said, getting up from his spinny chair, and making his way towards me.

I looked down, and immedietly saw his figure in front of me. When I looked up at him, he was towering over me, and staring down. I looked down at the floor again, but his index finger caught my chin, and forced me to look in his eyes.

"Don't worry. You'll be glad you married me." He smirked.

His face came closer towards mine, and I know what he's going to do next. His lips stopped to the point where one more millimeter could mean we were kissing.

"We'll save this for the wedding." His warm breath touched my lips, and he leaned away.

"I'll see you at your graduation on Monday." He smiled.

I nodded, and exited the room slowly. After making my way to the lobby, I walked out of the large building. It was raining, so I opened the umbrella and put it over my head. After walking down the large steps, I stopped. My eyes widened. My heart was racing to a speed I never thought it could go. Within the empty and wet streets, stood someone.

A street light had positioned it's rays so perfectly on him, he was completely visible. His hair was wet, but he stood in a posture that gave me chills. It looked like he was examining me, with his intense eyes. He was a little ways away from me, but who this was, was apparent.

It's Sasuke.

I stared at him. The rain was pouring on him, but he looked like he didn't care at all. He looked almost relaxed. I had this urge to run to him, and hug him. I wanted to touch his gourgeous face so bad. I need to concentrate on my self control. It's just him and I, staring at each other in this empty street.

I panicked when he began walking away from me. Just then, I uttered a soft 'no,' that would take a bat to hear. His figure disappeared into the distant darkness.

It's over. I will soon become Sakura Haku, and I will never get to be with the Uchiha again.
