-The Blurred Line Of Insanity-
By Vash-De-La-Trinkettes
Sakura sat in her chair at home, trying very hard to concentrate on whatever was going on in the TV program currently being displayed on her TV screen. But no matter how much she tried to pay attention to the characters flitting across the screen, all her thoughts lead back to none other then Uchiha Sasuke and his weird and wonderful family of screw ups.
Is this part of the insanity he somehow spreads upon people like a cold?
Am I … Could I be going mad?
It was plausible, if insanity is not a syndrome in a case, it will be from the surroundings of whoever is suffering. Her surroundings are pretty good though. She has a stable home, stable diet, stable family, Kakashi was her foundations, her job was a little shaky, but not enough to cause any damage to Sakura's mental well being … or was it?
Could her job really be affecting her this much? Should she call Tusnade right away and tell her she's quitting? Start job hunting tomorrow? A nurse would be a suitable job, still helping others, a little less pay and a little more struggle to pay her rent, but she would pull through. Or maybe she could go back into studying and train to be a doctor?
"Or maybe I should quit all this paranoia and go investigate. I am not mad … even when I talk to myself" she faltered "Whatever, Uchiha Suckoshi, say your prayers, Haruno Sakura is on your tail"
The sun shone brightly through the window that cold frosty morning.
Just as slowly, Sakura rose from her slumber and planned the day ahead of her. No doubt its going to be difficult, but never before in the history of the world, the universe and everything had Sakura Haruno given up.
Sakura stretched her back, relieved at the satisfying cracks that resounded from her spine, sitting up and then almost folding herself in half, she worked the kinks out of her back. When pleased with her flexibility that had came from taking the time to pull herself nearly in half, and also gave her a few more minutes of the warmth radiating from the bed, she slipped her feet out the side and stood up.
Her legs were a little shaky, in all honesty, she was nervous to be at Suckoshi's house. What if she just invited me to be nice? Didn't actually expect me to come?
'TOO LATE NOW!' screeched Inner Sakura
Padding her way to the kitchen, she picked up the little card the celebrity had slipped into her hand and did a little observing.
101 The Sand Dunes
Urban Desert
Konoha Hidden Leaf
Rh6 9PB
The address was hand written in one of the most free and delicate hands she had ever seen. As she admired the penmanship, she took notice of the thick expensive paper it was written on and how the hand-spun lace and string that had been glued and sewn to the border of the small business card complimented it in every way possible.
Sakura giggled a little at the thought of Suckoshi's husband Gaara handing out these frilly pink cards to his high and influential business partners. Either he was madly in love with the woman or took the time and liberty to get his own. As she chuckled more she realized it was more likely to be the latter.
Slipping on her fluffy slipper boots, she flicked the switch on the kettle and made her way to the bathroom. She was glad for the extra protection from the cold bathroom tiles when her feet made contact with the slippery death traps.
She had a small type of phobia of wet bathroom tiles, from when she was a small child and living with Kakashi, she fell over one day and knocked herself out in a locked room. Of course, like every concerned father, he bashed the door down to find Sakura peacefully on the floor, wrapped in a blanket with her head propped up on a rolled up towel with a bandage soaking up all the blood leaking out of her head.
After the incident Kakashi took weeks inspecting the bathroom openings after Sakura had admitted she hadn't took care of herself and just fell on the floor and stayed there. All officials said that she probably had done it herself, but had just forgotten after. It became more of a likely theory every day when they put Sakura's past amnesia into the equation.
As she stepped into the shower and further more let her muscles crack and relax, Juugo's words swirled into her head. She refused to let her mind quote him, instead she furiously massaged the cherry shampoo into her scalp, repeating the same with the matching conditioner.
When washed, dried and her belly full of tea, she turned to her wardrobe and panicked. What do you wear to a rich glamorous celebrity's house … scratch that, mansion.
She parted her lips and let out a small sigh as she interrogated the poor excuse of a wardrobe. No matter how much she patted around, she couldn't seem to make the wooden box a prim and pretty wardrobe full to the brim of beautiful clothes.
Instead of trying to perform some more magic upon the poor innocent box she had nearly beaten up, she decided on wearing some black skinny jeans, black combat boots, green vest top with a polyester fur lined adventurer coat.
Taking one last quick check of her hair in the vanity mirror, she headed to the front door, picking up her backpack and placing the business card in the front pocket.
Quickly typing the address into the satnav, she began her journey in her little Smart Car. Suckoshi surprisingly didn't live that far away, in fact, 10 minute drive tops. In fact, if Sakura ever had to come back to Suckoshi and investigate further, she would walk.
After 5 minutes driving, she decided to think of all the possible questions she could pose … when coming up with a blank, only then did she realize that she had no idea what she was looking for.
Inner Sakura: "Dummy, you could be spending this time with Sasuke"
"Actually, I think that's all we're going to get out of him for a while, so if I don't take risks and investigate, he wont ever get better. Now who's the dummy?" –Insert proud smile-
Inner Sakura: "You, dope, I didn't mean the case, I meant just hanging out with him, you like him, don't deny"
"I er … I find him attractive, that does not mean that I like him"
Inner Sakura: "Whatever you say boss … -insert cheeky wink-
Stupid Inner, who does she think she is? Making me loose concentration mak- OWH FUCK!
Sakura had just missed the turning when she decided she was not going to make a U turn in the parking lot a mile or so down, but instead hit the brakes and make a dramatic maneuver into the driveway of one of the biggest and grandest houses she had ever seen.
It was almost a castle with its beautiful turrets and draping Ivey that weakly hung to the face of the house. It was almost surreal as she watched 3 children run through the field which the family claimed to be a humble garden.
Unsure of herself, she made her way over to the buzzer. She pressed the button to be greeted with a man's voice, obviously one of the many guards.
"Hello, No Subaku residence, please identify yourself and means of visit" buzzed the bubbly voice
"Urr, Haruno Sakura, local physiologist, I'm here to visit and ask Suckoshi Uchiha some questions about her brother" She slowly replied
There was a small and painful pause before the man replied. "You'd better come in then, park your car wherever and the main entrance will be shown to you by the foot maid"
The beep went off and Sakura was inside
Bring it …
Sakura sat at an incredibly long and grand table, full of fruits, flowers, candles with the red cloth limply hanging off the edges. At the beginning she felt like her heart was going to jump out of her chest, but time is a great healer and after a while she was completely comfortable in this room, she wasn't too sure about anywhere else in the house, but this room would be fine.
She was sure of this until the large wooden doors swung open to reveal not Suckoshi, but instead one of the richest men alive, Gaara himself. He had a menacing look about him, you see him and instinctively want to look away and hide.
"Miss Haruno, I of course am the lord of the manner, and it seems we're going to become quite good acquaintances, so please, address me as Gaara and I hope you don't mind me calling you Sakura" He gave a friendly smile but then it all turned serious.
"Now Sakura, my wife is very delicate on the subject of her brothers" BrotherS? Does that mean they know something about Itachi that others don't? "And I am very delicate with my wife, so if you upset her, I will personally make sure that your life will become living hell, understand?" and after that threatening sentence, he gave another smile.
Sakura gulped and eagerly nodded her head.
"DADDYYYYYYYY"
Suddenly there was a suction arrow soaring over both their heads, Sakura cringed when she saw it land on a very old and expensive looking painting.
Little footsteps were heard as they came charging forth. Suddenly there was a furball of red and black, when Sakura had registered that in actual fact this 'furball' was a child, she was next aware of this child standing on the table clad in a pair or white shorts, white shirt, a small back tie complete with a black blazer that had a red rose peaking out of the top of the beast pocket, white socks pulled up high with little back lace ups on his feet. All of which was soaking and covered in mud.
The child was very cute, almost angelic looking with his wide black eyes, small nose and mouth, most concealed under his thick locks of black hair with the random red highlight.
"Rem, come down from the table please" requested the lord of the manner with a pleasant smile on his face.
"No way, me no Rem, Me Big Chief Feather Head" Giggled Rem, puffing out his chest and lips.
"Well would Big Chief Rem come and get in his bath now and stop causing mayhem" ordered an elderly looking woman.
"Come along Nanny, he's only playing" reprimanded Gaara, seems it wasn't only his wife he was over protective with.
"I tell you what Master Gaara, with all respects sir, but little Rem has been peeking in at our 'special guest' again" as she said this, here eyes were very quickly directed to the floor.
"YOU PROMISED YOU WOULDN'T TELL!" Screamed the child, frightened.
He took one last look at him hard faced father before quickly running into the arms of his nanny.
"Gaara, you fly off the handle and I swear this is the last you will ever see of me! Hello Sakura, oh urm … where was I?" Suckoshi had just walked in the door, fully intent on telling Gaara who wears the pants in this relationship. "Oh yes, He is my brother no matter what! Yes he has made some mistakes, but we all do, he's only human"
"Yes, humans make mistakes, I'm sorry to brake it to you love, but that man is an animal and is not fit to be under the same roof as our children!"
Sasukes here?
Suckoshi curled her wrists to make a rock hard fist that could certainly do some damage.
"Rem, Nanny Plum, Sakura, please leave the room, I have business to discuss with Gaara" She didn't position for a while, but then let out a sigh. "Nanny, take Sakura and Rem to our guest. Feed Rem's appetite for the unknown, show him his uncle, but then I want him to be out of there"
"Yes M'am" Replied the Nanny giving a little bow
"Sakura, you may ask him some questions, but he is not well, so be gentle with him, be careful with my big brother"
Uchiha Itachi was in the same house …
