Chapter 9

Sakura glared at Sasuke, hating how he acted so domineering. Sasuke chuckled. "It's only

because you are so stubborn little one." In response to his words she merely glared at him harder.

"I am not stubborn, and stay of my head." Sasuke ignored her and merely lifted her up to carry

her back to her home. "Maybe if you behaved I wouldn't have to monitor your thoughts so

closely ." "Hey that's not fair, I wasn't trying to fall and hurt myself, especially if it meant you

would show up." Even as she protested though, her heart was racing at his nearness, and she

hated how her body betrayed her when he was near, she always lost control of it, and longed for

his touch. She inadvertently snuggled closer to him and let out a soft sigh. Sasuke groaned as

her breath feathered across his neck and tightened his hold on her as he walked. He quickly got

her home and carried her to her room and laid her gently on her bed. Then he reached down to

lift her foot so that he could inspect her ankle. "It's still a little swollen, but it only looks

sprained, you're lucky you didn't break it." Sakura glance from her ankle up to his face. "How

am I supposed to perform tomorrow night if I can't stand?" she finally asked him quietly. Sasuke

gently released her foot and looked up at her. "You'll just have to miss a concert, you really

need to stay off that ankle." "But I've never missed a show, I don't want to start now just

because I tripped and fell." Sasuke sighed, there would be no end to this argument until she go to

go. " Fine little one, we'll just give you a chair so you don't have to stand the entire time."

Sakura beamed up at him. "Really? You'll let me go?" "Yes, you can go, you would be upset

if you had to cancel it, now go to sleep and rest, you need the energy to heal.
