Gone

Author's Note

Kura is happy with all the reviews! Thank you very much!

In more interesting news, I've got AIM finally! woohoo!

You may be asking why you, the reader should care, and my answer is, I don't know.

I just felt like sharing.

Also, I felt like saying that I was thinking of letting anyone whom wanted to contact me, IM me and rant/rave/complain about my stories. Or even suggest story ideas to me.

But, I figure that it's pointless since you can suggest/rant/rave via reviews.

Also, due to numerous requests, I've made this chapter longer! Well, I really couldn't avoid it so I had to make this chapter longer.

Oh well, enjoy the chapter!

Alright! Now that Naruto had given up it was Sakura’s turn to shine! Waking up bright and early, Sakura pumped her fist as inner Sakura cheered ‘Alright, Sakura-chan! Now’s your chance to show Sasuke what you’re made of! Naruto’s finally stepped aside! Chyeah~!’ Sakura, in her excitement, had gone to bed early the night before, and now that she was up, it was time to put her plan into action to make Sasuke-kun hers! Sakura was super excited! She just knew it would work! Sasuke would see that he didn’t need Naruto and that Sakura was the ideal woman for him. Sakura was determined to show Sasuke what a woman’s touch was like.

Sakura grinned to herself as she showered. Sasuke-kun would be so surprised! She giggled to herself. After Sakura had finished washing, she wrapped a fluffy pink towel around her frame and stepped out of the shower. She took the smaller towel and wrapped it around her hair to keep her hair up and off her back. Sakura sat on the toilet lid nearby and said out loud to herself “If this is going to work, I need to look my best!” Sakura grabbed her razor and began shaving her legs. After her legs were bare Sakura took a pink bottle of sweet rose smelling lotion that was a little bit on the strong side in terms of smell. Massaging the lotion into her leg follicles to smooth her legs, she got up and put everything away.

Sakura then danced out of the bathroom. She could already hear the wedding bells in her head. As Sakura dressed, she giggled to herself “Mrs. Uchiha…. No No, Sakura Uchiha!” Sakura giggled again and said “Ooooh~! I like the sound of that!” After Sakura pulled her bra and underwear on, she looked at herself and practiced in the mirror making a demure face. As she posed, she said in her best ‘innocent’ tone “It’s my first time Sasuke…….please be gentle with me.” Shaking her head in disgust, she tried and sexy pose and said in a lilting seductive purr “Sasuke-kun~! It’s my first time, but I want to give it to you because I know we’re meant to be together.” Sakura’s attempt at seduction was terrible, she sounded more like she was angry but keeping it barely restrained. Her innocent tone was almost malicious. It was malicious enough that anyone who heard her use that tone would shiver in disgust.

Sakura dressed in her usual dress garb and strolled out. She would have to buy some cute lingerie if her plan was going to work. As Sakura walked into town, she saw a perfect dress she just had to have because she knew Sasuke would love it! The dress was a silky dark blue strapless thing that ended about two to three inches below her crotch. There was a pair of black platform sandals with criss-crossing velvet dark blue straps over the top of the shoe that went with the dress. Excited by the dress’s perfection, Sakura rushed into the store and told the store clerk “I want to try that dress on! now!” Sakura looked a little demanding as the sales girl took the dress off the mannequin. Handing it to Sakura, Sakura snatched the dress from the Sales Girl’s hands and pointing at the shoes that were paired with the dress; she snapped “I wear size 7 shoes. I want a pair in that size!” Sakura rushed into the dressing room, and hastily began changing into the dress.

When Sakura came out, the Sales girl set the shoes at Sakura’s feet and Sakura slipped them on, gaining about four or five inches of height. Sakura looked almost smug as she strode back and forth down the store. When she stopped in front of the mirror, she checked herself over. The dress was tight, exaggerating the swell of her ass and the curves of her hips nicely. The cleavage helped too, especially since it looked like her breasts were going to fall out. Sakura twisted and turned, fluffing her breasts and said sounding immensely satisfied “I want this. I’ll go change and pay for it.” The Sales girl nodded as Sakura took the shoes off and went to change back into her old clothes.

When she came out, Sakura paid for the dress, not even caring that she was charged an extra two dollars for being a bitch to the sales girl. She had the dress that would win Sasuke over, and Sasuke was loaded! So it wasn’t worth being petty over two dollars when she would have enough to go shopping every day after she married Sasuke. Sakura, after she paid for everything, left the store and continued her trek down the street. Sakura finally came to a stop in front of a lingerie store with some pretty fancy and lacy things. She let out a squeal of delight before walking into the store, and began looking for the perfect set of lingerie that was sure to get Sasuke’s attention.

Disappointed that the store didn’t have anything she wanted, Sakura left, intent on trying again at another store. After fruitless searching, she almost gave up until she reached an elegant lingerie store. Stepping inside, she found herself in a wonderland of pink which made her feel extremely happy. Pink! Her favorite color! She liked this place already! Happy, Sakura began perusing the store until she came across the perfect bikini lingerie set. The bra was a strapless silky dark blue and the underwear was a g-string of the same color and material. Sakura, pleased, bought a pair in her size and left the shop. Sakura went to the store to get a black velvet ribbon. Tucking it away in her bag, she took her purchases home in a hurry.

Now for the tough part.

Sakura leaped from roof to roof until she arrived at the huge Uchiha compound. This was perfect since there were so many buildings that she could rummage through. She was almost positive that she could find what she was looking for in one of these old filthy houses. Sakura didn’t even care that Naruto might find her. However, her fears were soon relieved when she saw that Naruto was fast asleep. Letting out a relieved sigh, she left her perch and started digging through the houses, going until she found what she wanted. Covered in dust and gross stuff she didn’t really want to think about, she said triumphantly “Found it!” In Sakura’s hand was a dusty, grimy Uchiha fan pendant. She could barely make out the color, but she liked it. Shoving the gem in her pocket, she made it for home.

When Sakura got home, she cleaned and polished the stone until it was back to its original shine. The pendant of the Uchiha Crest was gorgeous! Sakura instantly fell in love with it. The red part of the fan was made out of the darkest Red Jasper that could be found, and the white part of the fan was made of the purest white opal. It was held together by white gold, along with the loop at the top. Sakura in her greed and desire to admire the stone’s beauty failed to notice the inscription on the back, if she had, she probably would have put it back instantly, but she didn’t. Engraved unnoticeably at the back was

‘ My Darling Mikoto

Fugaku’

Sakura had missed the engraving and she wouldn’t have known who it belonged to because it wasn’t in Sasuke’s house. Sakura didn’t go in there for fear of Naruto sensing her and catching on to her plan. Sakura, satisfied with everything, strung the pendant onto the black choker, and left it on her bed along with all the new clothes that she had bought for tonight. Sakura flicked her hair back and said out loud “Time to get ready~!” Sakura wandered into the kitchen, grabbing things from the cupboard. Before she got ready, she wanted to eat. She wasn’t going to get a chance to eat all~ night. From what Naruto had said before he’d vanished was that Sasuke’s libido was intense! So, if she was going to keep up with Sasuke, she was going to have to eat heartily! Sakura, when she was done eating and cleaned up smiled at the clock. ‘Oh what the heck, I have plenty of time.’ Sakura found boxes in her closet and she began packing presumptuously to move into Hokage tower as the wife of Sasuke Uchiha, Hokage. Once she had a good deal of her clothes pack, Sakura smiled and left the box open as she decided that now was the time to get ready.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura was done an hour before dinner time. Checking herself out in her full length mirror, Sakura winked at herself and said in her own attempt at sexiness “Oh Sakura! You look positively ravishing.” Sakura clasped her hands to her cheeks and let out a “Kyaah~!” As she imagined what tonight would be like sleeping with Sasuke. Never did she consider that Sasuke would stay no. Never did she even think that Sasuke might be upset by the fact that she was wearing his mother’s pendant. Sakura was too busy focusing on her fantasies.

When Sakura was done fangirling, she dedicated a good half hour to applying eyeliner, painting and drying her nails a pale pink color, and as a last minute addition, she put some pouty pink lip gloss on. Satisfied with her experience, she took off for the tower to become Sasuke’s fiancée. She waited on the roof of a nearby building, hiding in the shadows of the building so that no one could see her.

By the time everyone was gone, Sakura made her way inside the building, eager to see her beloved’s reaction to her sexy style of dressing. Sakura shyly knocked on the door to Sasuke’s office. Waiting a few minutes, she knocked again and was rewarded with a cool “Come in.” Heart thumping in anticipation, she opened the door and slipped through. Sasuke was busy hunched over a pair of scrolls, Sakura frowned, and this wasn’t what she had expected. She had expected Sasuke to look up and be in drooling awe of her sexy looks.

Sakura stepped closer to the desk and stopped when she was half way there so that she could let Sasuke see the full effect of her clothing. Sakura’s hand caressed her hips in a way she thought looked sexy until she found a pose she liked. “Sasuke….” She purred “Come here.” Sasuke looked up from his work and stared in shock at her outfit. That was……disgusting. Sasuke’s eyes travelled along Sakura’s frame, finding her outfit revolting, and her smell disgusting. Sakura on the other hand was mentally cheering, happy that it was working.

Sasuke’s eyes stopped on the pendant and his blood ran cold. That pendant……it looked familiar. Where had he seen it before? Sakura was busy fangirling as she thought that she had succeeded since Sasuke had been staring at her chest the whole time. Well, at least she thought he had been staring at her chest and not the pendant.

When Sasuke started approaching her, she nearly lost it then and there, but she kept her cool. She watched Sasuke come closer and closer, her heart hammering in nervous excitement. ‘Ohmygod it’s working! Ohmygod! Ohmygod! Ohmygod! I did it! I’m going to be Sasuke’s bride now!’ Sasuke stood in front of her staring at the pendant. Sakura on the other hand batted her eyelashes at Sasuke, thinking that he was in the bag now. Sasuke reached out to touch the pendant, feeling along the smooth surface. When recognition struck him, and brief flashes of memories flashed before his eyes as he finally placed where he saw the pendant before. His mother…….this one was just like hers. She’d worn hers on a platinum gold chain…..

Sasuke had to be sure that this was his mother’s pendants and not one of his other relatives. Sasuke moved to flip the pendant over but was stopped by a lips tasting faintly of cherries against his own. Disgusted, Sasuke reared his head back and snapped furiously at Sakura “What the hell do you think you’re doing Sakura?!?” Sakura said innocently “Can’t you tell when a woman is trying to seduce a man, Sasuke-kun?” Sasuke could tell, but he bit his tongue to hold back what he really wanted to say. ‘I can, you’re just doing a terrible job of it.’ Instead he let out a trademark “Hn.” Sasuke wiped the lip gloss from his lips in disgust, not caring that Sakura’s eyes flashed some hurt. She didn’t mind though, she had Sasuke’s attention at least!

Sasuke then resumed his task and flipped the pendant over with a little difficulty due to the fact that she was wearing a choker. When Sasuke read the engraving, his blood ran cold and a cool fury ran through his veins. He said, his voice dangerously low “Sakura, where did you get this pendant?” Sakura waved her hand flippantly and said in a nonchalant manner “Well, I found it. It’s beautiful for an ordinary pendant isn’t it Sasuke-kun? I’m sure you have one that’s much better than this ordinary old thing.” Sasuke, repeated, his voice dangerously low “Where did you get this pendant Sakura?” Sakura, noticing Sasuke’s attitude “Well, you see, I, uh……found it.” Sasuke finally looked up at her, mangekyou spinning dangerously out of control. This time, Sasuke’s voice was deadly serious, and for the first time, Sakura felt the first tendril of fear. Sasuke repeated “Where did you find this Sakura?”

Sakura, sensing she was about to get in major trouble said, fidgeting a bit “I found it in one of the abandoned Uchiha houses near the main house.” Sakura tried to look cute and asked “Does it look cute on me Sasuke?” Sasuke tore it harshly from her neck as Sakura let out a shriek of pain. He held it tightly in his hand and snarled “I will murder you for this Sakura. This is no ‘ordinary’ pendant. This was my mother’s!” Sasuke cocked back his fist prepared to punch her, hard. Sakura, instinctively doubled over, cowering in place as she whimpered “I-I didn’t know Sasuke-kun! I’m sorry!”

Sasuke ignored her and threw a punch. Sakura tensed as she waited for it to hit her. When suddenly, she was thrown back against the door, hitting it with a resounding thud that went unnoticed by the two other occupants in the room as they were too busy staring each other down. When Sakura looked up, in front of her stood Naruto who caught Sasuke’s punch in his own hand effortlessly. Naruto’s whole demeanor was changed. His eyes were those of the kyuubi’s, but his hands and teeth were normal. Naruto’s whole posture was relaxed, but in reality, he was like a coiled spring, ready to fight at a moment’s notice.

Sasuke snarled “Let go of my hand Naruto. I’m going to kill her!” Naruto said softly “She didn’t know Sasuke.” Sasuke growled and said “Bullshit! She knew when she took it from the Uchiha compound!” Naruto repeated softly “She didn’t know Sasuke.” Sasuke’s rage seemed endless as his Mangekyou sharingan spun madly at its’ user’s rage. Naruto looked back at Sakura and growled “Get out of here Sakura. Don’t you dare pull a stunt like this again because next time, I’ll let him kill you, even if you are my friend.” Sakura, terrified by the amount of chakra both men were emitting, fled in a hurry. She was practically falling over herself as she crawled out on her hands and knees. She didn’t even care that the dress had ridden up over her hips, revealing her g-string lingerie, not that either of the two males noticed. When she got out of the room, she fixed herself to be moderately decent and fled home in a hurry, terror spurring her on.

Naruto said softly, almost soothingly “She didn’t know Sasuke.” Sasuke growled and jerked away, intent on hunting her down and killing her. Naruto sighed and grabbed Sasuke by the collar and threw him against the wall. Naruto appeared above Sasuke and said “She didn’t know Sasuke! Calm down!” Sasuke hadn’t released the pendant in his hand, Sasuke growled and punched Naruto, sending him flying back. Sasuke got to his feet and hurried towards the door, intent on hunting Sakura down and killing her for her crime. Naruto intercepted Sasuke before he got to the door, tackling Sasuke to the ground as the pendant went flying to lands on Sasuke’s desk or somewhere close to it.

“Please Sasuke………..don’t make me fight you."
