What could he be playing at?
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
There was a lingering concern in Sakura's eyes as she opened the door to her flat. The last time she opened her door she found a knife pressed to her throat and a man in a black mask pushing her inside. But she pushes those old concerns away and steps into her apartment. The place was a mess still from the robbery but her best friend Naruto was coming over to help her clean it up. There was a large red stain on the wooden floors of her kitchen from where she stabbed the robber with a scalpel that she had handy. There was also shattered glass from when he pushed her into the counter, knocking the vase of it.
Moving out of the kitchen she surveys the rest of her place. The couch was on its back, much to her unamusement. The glass coffee table was broken from the man that saved her by tackling the assailant. She didn't know how that second guy got in but he had saved her life nonetheless. The pinkette ran her fingers through her waist length hair in thought. Her TV had a hole in it so she couldn't relax with a movie tonight. Her bedroom was about the only place that hadn't been raided by the robber three weeks ago. Him popping the pills meant for her heart condition came to mind when she stepped into the bathroom. She shook her head and turned back around to leave the room. The bathroom was directly across from her bedroom. It was a wonder that man didn't go in there.
Sakura walked inside the room and pulled open her dresser drawers. She had changed her mind. She no longer wanted to live in this place. The next months rent was already paid so she would just have to go sign some papers then get the hell out of here. Pulling out a suitcase, she started filling it with her clothes. It was easy because she actually didn't have that many clothes that weren't her scrubs. Being a doctor she was used to not being home as often. Now she would just have to live in a hotel or with Naruto for the next couple months till she found a new place. But she decided not to burden Naruto. His boyfriend Neji wouldn't be exactly happy if Sakura moved in after she just left from staying with them. She grimaced at the thought of angering the Hyuuga.
The doorbell rang and Sakura felt her heart leap into her throat. But she knew that she wasn't likely to get robbed twice in one month so she went and answered the door. A short brunette holding a bouquet of red roses. The brunette smiled at her. "Sakura Haruno?"
"Y-Yes." She answered with a little surprise.
She handed her the flowers. "These are for you. Oh and please sign here."
The delivery girl handed her the receipt and she signed quickly. Taking the flowers and thanking the girl, she kicked the door closed. She walked to her room with the bouquet in her arms. She laid them down on her bed by the suitcase and dug between them for a small card.
It read:
Don't let the past few weeks get you down.
-M
She was startled and then it all made sense. This M must have been that mystery man that had shown up in her apartment to save her three weeks ago. A warm feeling flooded her chest and Sakura picked the roses up again. She sniffed them and sighed happily. But she continued packing later that night then called Naruto to tell him what she was doing. Checking into the nearest hotel was her first stop. But before she could even finish loading her few suitcases in her car, someone stopped her.
It was a tall handsome man with dark red eyes and long black hair. Those eyes. They were the same eyes she had seen by the mystery man. M. Her eyes were locked with his and he gave a small smile towards her. She felt her heart race along with the heat rising to her cheeks.
"May I ask where you are headed ?" He asked with a deep velvety voice.
Her knees felt weak. "A h-hotel."
She cursed her stuttering but he seemed to not notice. Or chose to ignore it. "Why might you be doing that?"
"I can't stay in that place." She said with honesty. "I'm scared."
He tilted his head to the side and stared at her. "I'm the owner of this building."
Sakura was shocked. The owner had never once came to visit the complex. He always had his assistant Obito come and do his work for him. So because of that she knew his name. Madara Uchiha. Maybe she was mistaken and this wasn't the man who saved her after all. The pinkette on instinct took a step back but he followed until they were toe to toe.
"I was on my way to tell you that I would refund your payment on the apartment next month and offer you a deal." Madara said.
Sakura was a little surprised. "What kind of deal?"
"Move into my other complex a few blocks away from here into the room next door to me." He said it like it was a demand. "If you do I will give you leeway on rent for the next few months."
The pinkette wasn't sure what he was getting at but she wasn't going to complain since this was her best option. "Deal."
"Excellent." Madara smiled and Sakura's cheeks flushed again. "I'll have Obito send someone over to collect your bed, dresser, and nightstand. Is there anything else from upstairs that you will need?" She shook her head no. "Good. Get in your car and follow me to the other complex."
Sakura did as she was told and followed the black sedan in her blue cobalt. Her heart was racing as she pulled up. The building wasn't very different from her old one except for one huge difference. It was about three times the size. Parking she stepped out of her car. Madara did the same and walked over to her.
"Grab your stuff and we'll head up." She nodded nervously and opened the trunk.
Wheeling her suitcase and duffel bag was easy but she also had one more suitcase filled with stuff that she would need to grab later. Or not. Madara hoisted it out and closed the trunk. Then he wheeled it towards the elevator while she followed. He pressed the button for the twentieth floor, much to her shock. She felt her pulse quicken as they finally arrived. Wordlessly Madara started walking left so the pinkette followed. He stopped in front of one of the doors and turned to her. She stopped.
"This is yours." He handed her the key. "I'll have Obito bring everything over as soon as possible."
Before she could answer he let go of her suitcase and started walking away. Opening the door she was in awe of how pretty the place was. Actually, it looked as though someone had been living there. The kitchen had a fridge,oven,and dishwasher already installed, there was a couch and a coffee table that looked strikingly similar to the ones she used to have at home. Opening the kitchen cabinets she found dishware already there. It was like the place had already been furnished for her. A wave of concern washed over her. Did Madara do all this? And all for her? Why?
She didn't dwell on it because someone cleared their throat. It was Obito standing at her door with a small smile. He looked as carefree as ever. It was actually a welcome comfort after everything that happened. "The moving guys are going to bring your stuff up now, Sakura-san."
"Obito, did Madara do all this for me?" Sakura asked with some worry.
The other Uchiha nodded. "He felt responsible since you were a tenant of his complex. Your stuff was almost all broken because of the robbery so he wanted to do this for you."
"He sent the flowers." She stated. "And he was the one who broke in after the robber to save me."
Obito nodded again. "Don't dwell on it too much Sakura-san."
The pinkette just nodded and allowed herself to relax as her bed,nightstand, and dresser were brought up for her. She set up her stuff in her room and nodded with satisfaction. Tomorrow she would be returning to work for the first time since the robbery. She couldn't wait to get back to a normal routine. Even if this situation wasn't anywhere near normal.
