Here's chapter 10! Enjoy!

NINJAchibi

Darkness was all I could see.

I was lying in bed once more; only this time, I felt like I was complete and not like I had literally lost my soul.

My once dull eyes glanced around the room as I thought of everything that had happened.

Madara and I….we kissed.

I couldn't believe it, I honestly never saw anything of this sort coming my way. No….I felt very close to him….but I never thought I would get to kiss him.

Rolling over slightly, I covered my head with my purple comforter to hide my face. A nervous blush covering my face with a fiery pink.

I did love him….but I don't think he loved me the same way.

After we hugged each other, he passed out. He had, had a bad fever apparently; and even though it didn't show at the time, he was really, really sick.

He shouldn't have been out in the rain like that. What on Earth was he thinking?

I felt a silent tear run down my cheek.

I knew why he had acted so stupid, yet I didn't want to believe it.

Once I got him home, I put him in his room and got him changed into some dry clothes. After that, I merely closed the door and left him alone.

I got myself changed, and then laid in bed….and stayed there. For hours in deep thought.

So here I was….pondering everything.

Did he honestly care for me the way I did for him? Or did he merely see me as a friend?

I pressed the comforter to my face, and tried not to cry out. I felt lost once more, and I had no idea who to turn to or where to go.

" I don't think I could go on much longer if he didn't truly love me…." I sniffled as the thought raced acrossed my mind.

It was true. If he didn't love me….I couldn't go on anymore. I had be damaged to much by the past, and if he didn't love me….it would break me so bad that there wouldn't be anything left of the person I used to be. I would be a shell, and I would die and wither away.

It was so strange….as a child I was so confident…yet as the years went by…everything changed.

Now? Now I was a broken person, I was a fractured porcelain doll who would break under the slightest strain.

We had kissed, yes, but did it mean to him what it meant to me? For me, it was the best moment I had felt since my friends left. I felt so secure, warm, and so loved….but was it just my imagination? Was it because he thought I was dead that he acted the way he did? Without thinking?

I let out a distressed and miserable sigh…..I could still hear the rain outside; it still hadn't stopped.

It never seemed to stop.

Madara….I really should check on him. I shouldn't have just left him the way I did….but I was confused, and didn't know what to do.

Taking a nice deep breath, I forced my emotionally-worn body out of bed to go check on the Uchiha boy.

The hallway was quiet and dark, and I had to wrap my arms around my body to keep myself warm. I was only wearing some boxers and a large T-shirt, and it was quiet cold in the house from all the freezing rain falling outside.

Walking down to his room, trying not to shiver from cold, I tried to stay calm. With all these doubts and miserable thoughts running through my head, I wasn't sure if I could look at him.

I focused on the floor, my pink hair covering my face as I tried not to cry anymore. It was pointless to cry by this point; I DID have him back….but there was always the chance that he didn't want me…there was always the chance that he couldn't love me.

Letting out a small shuddering breath, I stop a few paces away from the his door. I closed my eyes and nodded at my own conclusion. Life wasn't fair, it never was, and never will be. I had to realize that he may never want me.

He never told me that he loved me…..but he was afraid of losing me.

I know that some of you may think I'm oblivious, that it MUST mean he loves me.

But I have been broken to many times in the past, and I won't believe it without seeing it for myself.

I must accept the fact that he may not love me, and I must learn to deal with it…if it ever comes to that.

Filling my lungs with air, I bravely opened my sea colored eyes, and finally made my way to his door.

The floor felt even more cold then it had before, and I felt the frigid air become even chillier. I was getting nervous, I could tell, and I would just have to do what I could to stay calm once I was in his room.

Once I was at his door, I put out a shaky hand and grabbed the knob firmly.

Gulping down some pesky saliva, I got the courage to open the door.

It squeaked open as I gently and quietly pushed it open.

The first thing I saw was darkness…the room was dark like my own had been.

I stared at the room a moment more, before looking for it's owner. It didn't take me long to stop the bed, and see a figure lying there.

My body froze for a moment, unsure of what to do next.

I fidgeted with my clammy hands for a moment, just staring, not moving, only watching.

"Sakura…."

I body tensed, and my heart went into my throat for a moment…was he still asleep?

I glanced at him for a few seconds, not knowing if I should answer or if I should just stay still.

"Sakura…I know your there…..come here…"

My eyes widened at the words of the sick Uchiha.

He wanted me to…come to him?

A fiery blush came onto my face, and my heart started to beat faster…just…just what was he playing at?

I put my hands to my face, trying to get rid of the nervous and embarrassed blush. He couldn't have meant it that way..no way in HELL could he have meant it that WAY!

"..NOW."

Snapping back to reality, I nervously took a few steps closer, taking each step carefully as I got closer.

Eventually I made it to the side of the bed.

Uchiha was facing away from me, but I knew that he knew I was there. I couldn't see his face, but I could see his spiky long hair.

"Come closer." His deep voice was starting have this strange effect on me, and it was making me feel all warm inside.

Annoying as it was, the blush came back, and there was nothing I could do about.

Gulping I decided to speak, "h-how close? I'm as close as I can get…" I whispered nervously, trying not to get TO close, for his affect on me was obvious, and I really didn't want him to see the effect he had on me.

He was silent for a moment, but words didn't mean much when it came to Uchiha men, because their actions always seem to speak louder than words ever could.

I found this out once more, as Madara's actions became known, and there were no words that could express it any better. Without me even having time to breathe he grabbed my waist and pulled me down on the bed.

I yelped slightly as he pulled me underneath, straddling me as he lowered his face to mine.

"Now…why did you leave me here by myself for so long, hmmmm?" He startled to nuzzle me softly, his face in my neck as he smelled my scent.

I froze…my eyes going wide as my body went stiff.

"W-what are you DOING?"

Soft spiky hair hit me in the face, as he continued to nuzzle me. He chuckled, kind of evilly, as he kissed my neck.

"Whatever do you mean?"

His breath went all over my skin, and his voice was making me feel very, very…heated. Yes, I said it, it was making me feel very intimate the moment, and I wasn't sure if I should like it….or not. Damn all these questions!

"Y-you know what I mean! W-why are you doing this?...why..why are you?..."

For a moment he froze, his nuzzling stopped, and after a moment of complete silence he lifted his head up to face me.

I couldn't see his face, but I could see the reflection of the small amount of light in the room reflect off of his black eyes.

"Do you have to ask?" His voice all serious and all playfulness gone. His stare was intense, and it never left my face.

Feeling more confident, I stared back, letting all my insecurity show in my green eyes. I'm sure that he could see a lot better than I could in the dark, and I'm sure he could the emotion behind them.

I had to let him know….his words were being suggestive again…and I was tired of not knowing the truth behind our relationship.

I wanted to know if this was one sided or not.

"Madara?"

I noticed that his face began to change as I slowly let my emotions enter my eyes, and by the time I had started to speak his face was completely rigid.

He was tense, and I felt confused, and maybe slightly worried?

"Sakura…your eyes….what's wrong?"

I closed them again, and I felt him tense even more if that was even possible, and then opened my eyes again, ready to explain everything.

"Madara…what do you…feel for me?"

I could feel his eyes narrow on me as he continued to stare.

"What do you mean?"

I felt like my ability to breath was gone, and I just wanted to cry in frustration. I should have known that this wouldn't have been easy!

I had to close my eyes again, for tears were coming, and there was nothing I could do to stop them this time.

Tears started to pour from my eyes as I continued, "Madara…I'm tired of not knowing, not understand! YOU are the only person to show that they honestly care whether I live or die! YOU are everything to me, and yet I don't know where we stand at ALL! I'm so confused, and through all of this mess I've come to care about you more than ANYONE!"

Once I stopped yelling I sniffled, and tried to gain some self-control. I shouldn't have yelled like a witch, but I couldn't help it….I was so tired of not knowing where I stand with people. Whether they seem as a friend or nuisance.

Madara was very quiet…but his body was no longer tense, no, now it felt more limp. When I was able to gain enough courage, I looked up at him.

From what I was able to see in the darkness, his eyes were wide, and he looked slightly shocked.

Felling bad I put my hand to touch his face. His hand instantly went over mine.

"Sakura….I….I….-shuuushhh-" I quieted him, and pulled his face closer to mine, kissing him lightly on the lips.

I really shouldn't have yelled, even though I was tired, he didn't need all of this on him while he was still sick.

He leaned his forehead on mine after the light kiss, and started to speak.

"Sakura…..I care about you…more than anyone I've ever known. But you must understand-I DON'T KNOW WHAT LOVE IS. But I want to learn-" He opened his black eyes and stared softly into my sea-green irises. "-I want to learn, because I think I already have it with you. I never want to lose you, I learned that the day the spider bit you. I never want you out of my site again." I felt his voice become strained near the ending, and the words that flowed from his mouth made me want to cry.

"So please..-" He wrapped his arms around me,"-Don't think this is a joke, because it's NOT. Don't think I don't care for you THAT WAY. Because, even though I'm not sure what love feels like, I have this very strong feeling that that's what this is. So please….don't ever think that…"

More tears poured from my eyes like buckets, and I hugged him as tight as I could; his arms pulled me even tighter. I was never going to doubt again.

I loved this man in a boy's body, and I never wanted him to leave….he was my life now.

I liked writting this chapter, the flow was very good I think!
