Author's note:

First of all, I am very happy that somebody out there read and reviewed my story, Something Beautiful. I am also happy that some criticized my story because it greatly pushed me to improve my writing skills. Also, since many suggested that I should write sequel/prequel for it, I decided to write a short backstory of Sasuke's obsession for Sakura.

Without further ado, here it is!

Erotomania

-a type of delusional disorder where the affected person believes that another person is in love with him or her

Something Obsessive

He was black. He dwelled his whole life in darkness. Whenever the sun set and the light faded away, the demon inside him was also released and took over his entire existence.

He knew this, though. He entirely understood who really he was: a monster. A beautiful, hunger-stricken monster that hid under the pretense as the only survivor of Uchiha massacre. He knew that a monster like him was destined to be alone in this cruel world.

He tried to run away from everything. He tried to run away from himself. But he couldn't.

He tried to forget everything. He tried to forget how he learned to kill innocent people just to live. But he couldn't.

Tired of the pain and agony, Sasuke hid his tears under the intense rainfall. The raven-haired boy just stood there - there at the front of his old home. His true home.

He missed his beloved mother. He missed his ever-caring older brother. He missed even his stoic father. He missed the days when he was just an innocent boy who lived with his beloved family.

Yes. He missed the those innocent days before they took away his family.

...Before he woken up a curse that runs within his veins.

...Before he became a true monster.

"Why are you crying?" a sweet, angelic voice then hummed in his ears.

The 8-year old boy raised his mismatched orbs only to meet a pair of glistening jade green eyes. He never seen such beautiful orbs before. It was so ephemeral... so alluring. As if he couldn't live without it.

And that hair. It was bright shade of pink that look so natural as if she was the queen of fairies.

The girl before him was a rare beauty he didn't want to let go. She was like a sun that brought colors in his monochromatic life. She was the only light under that rainy day.

... She was so sinfully beautiful.

So sinful that made his cold heart felt very unfamiliar warmth. His chest tightened so much that it hurts... and a very addicting ache at that.

The girl then reached out his hands and hold them firmly. "Don't be sad... I'll be with you until you feel fine."

True to her words, the girl stayed beside him until she was fetched by her parents. Sasuke couldn't do nothing but watched her leave.

Panic then enveloped his being. For the first time after the unfortunate death of his family, Sasuke felt fear.

He feared that one day, the girl he met disappeared just how his family were. He feared that one day, the same girl would meet another man in her life.

He couldn't afford such future to happen.

She was his. His and his alone.

However, the boy noticed a pink umbrella left on the place where the girl seated before.

An eerie smile was flashed on his lustful face.

Sasuke began to search for his queen from scratches. The raven-haired boy also continued his life as a killer while he collects information about his beloved queen.

In no time, he found out his beloved's identity. Her name was Sakura Haruno. It was a very befitting name for someone whose beauty was comparable to that of Greek goddesses living in Mt. Olympus.

She was a very studious and hardworking woman who excelled almost in all aspects. At the same time, Sakura was an epitome of innocence, purity and kindness.

Indeed, she was Spring herself that brought Life in his cold-blooded heart stained by blood of poor, unfortunate people who didn't have a chance to meet tomorrow.

Within those five years he observed the maiden, the pink-haired girl has grown into a forsakenly beautiful woman.

Her slender, yet curvaceous body fit perfectly to her small, rounded breast and long ivory legs. She grew out her pink locks which framed perfectly to her heart-shaped face.

The mere view of her innocence made his chest pumped so fast. Sasuke was excited to touch her small stature which was, unbeknownst to her, seductive in every aspect.

And the very idea of other men laying their filthy eyes on her made his blood boiled so much that he killed them all even before they could lay their disgusting hands on her.

With his cursed bloody left eye, he made those pitiful men experience a very gruesome illusion and cruel torture that any sane man couldn't fathom to watch.

Sasuke then erased their very existence in this cruel world with his purple-rippled eye that glows even in the dark.

Unfortunately, he couldn't have his goddess now. There was something he must attend to first.

And it was cleansing of all black souls who take his family away from him.

"Wait for me, my queen," Sasuke uttered to himself as he disappeared into the darkness between the alleyways.

Only a creepy smile crept on his face.

September has already arrived. The leaves had started to change its color into hues of red and orange. It was also dancing gracefully before falling to the ground. The cold autumnal air has already enveloped the very city of Konohagakure.

Sure enough, winter was fast approaching.

But, 19-year old Sasuke didn't waver. Everything was according to his plan.

His mismatched orbs searched for a certain pinkette whom he craved for.

And there she was.

His pink-haired goddess was walking towards Amalieré Medical University while she greeted everyone with an alluring smile plastered on her angelic face. Her jade green orbs had literally reflected on how kind and golden her heart was whenever she greeted someone.

Unbeknownst to her, this only fueled up Sasuke's desire to own and mark her down to her very soul.

He wanted all of her smiles to himself. She was his. His and his alone.

Likewise, the scene marveled before him was something that made the jet-haired man felt the extreme need to capture it in any way possible.

Just like how he usually do whenever he was 'protecting' his beloved queen, Sasuke took a photo of Sakura while she was walking under row of maple trees.

"Sakura..." the raven-haired man uttered while eyeing the girl with longing.

Damn! How he wanted her badly!

But he couldn't have her now. He still couldn't have her because he wanted her to achieve first what she wanted to become.

Think of it as a little gift from him.

"Not yet," the ebony-headed man whispered. "I'll let you flourish until you become what you wanted to become, my Sakura...

But I will steal you from everyone after you reach the pinnacle of your life. You are mine, Sakura Haruno."

True to his vow, Sasuke remained silent all these years. He remained at the dark watching over his goddess as she reached for her dreams.

He watched her smile for her every success. He watched her sobs whenever she has a downfall. He watched her laugh with her friends or when she silently cried for her dying patients.

Sasuke saw it all.

This only further fueled his desire to take his angel away from everything. But he has to do it slowly yet surely.

And he will make sure that Sakura Haruno will become Sakura Uchiha, the future matriarch of his family.

He will make sure of it.

And for that matter, now is the right time. Now that Sakura has already accomplished everything as a woman.

It is now the right time for the 28-year old doctor to become his wife. His alone.

"At last... You are mine, Sakura."
