Gomenasai Sasuke-kun
Prologue:
The sky's just plain blue, if you observe it with your keen eyes at the time after the sun rises through the shore, the clouds moved by the wind just like the trees dances with them happily, seeming that, you are living your life peacefully. A soft chuckle came out from the woman's lips as she observed the sky above by her window, her arms were crossed above her chest and her hair were pink that reaches down to her hips, how odd isn't it? Having your hair colored pink, but don't mistaken it, it was natural, and she didn't died it just to attract attention. Many men had adored her because of her natural beauty and her unhumanly strength as a medic nin, but through it all… only one man had caught her heart.
"Sakura." he smirk as he mentioned her name.
"Hmm?"
"Go rest."
Her hair flew by the wind as some strands covered her face; she drew them back and putted it behind her ears. She heard a cry that is musical to her ears as she turned around and went deeply inside her room; she went beside her baby's crib as she picked her up in her arms. "Shh, mommy's here, my dear." She whispered to her little pumpkin as her cry decreases. The woman smiled softly and started to hum a song as she rocked the baby gently in her arms. Her eyes softening, a hint of admiration and contentment as she observed her little angel; her eyes were jade that sparkles whenever she smiles, like her mother's, and her hair was black, just like her father's.
Her angel sneezed cutely as she tried opening her cute lovely eyes, making her mother giggle at her cuteness. "My dear angel." The woman mumbled quietly as she hugs the baby closer to her body while rocking her gently, she closed her eyes.
She continued humming her favorite song for her baby to go back to sleep, a tear rolls down to her smooth pale face, and she didn't even noticed. Her eyebrows knit together as she started to reminisce her teen times together with the team seven, together with her teammates, and together with her beloved man. She smiled again at that thought, she looked down at her arms again as a warm smile started to form in her face. "My dear, I never regretted the way I have you now." She said softly as she planted a soft kiss on her child's forehead.
She went back by the window and started to observe the blue sky, again. She felt her child move as she softened her eyes. She returned her attention back to the clouds, the face of a young man was what she could see. Onyx eyes, his raven hair that looks soft as he smirks down at her.
"Sakura, you're annoying, you know that?"
She heard him said with humor in his voice as she smiled weakly, she knows what came's out of his thin lips were the opposite of it, and whenever he called him that… she felt the urge to just hug him and do whatever she wants to do. Her hair swayed by the wind as she murmured the name of her beloved man, the only one in her dreams, and the only one that can make her happy…
"Uchiha Sasuke."
…5 ½ years ago…
Uchiha Sasuke leaned on the rail of the bridge where team seven usually meets. He sighed as he closed his eyes, waiting impatiently; it's always him that arrived first whenever Kakashi-sensei tells them to meet him there, then after a minute, there comes his pink haired teammate named Sakura – As if on cue, she came, waving at him as she smiles widely and oddly cute at him. He looked at where she is and he nodded towards her, his way of greeting. She went beside him as she looked up at the clouds, her lips were suddenly formed in a thin line, and not a smile was in them.
Sasuke couldn't resist a peek on her as he pocketed his hands. She seems quite and different at this time, she's usually happy and cheerful as she grins and babbles all the time at him, and he in return, just nodded, uninterested. He glanced at her as he tried to tell her to shut up but when he opened his mouth, nothing came out from his lips. He furrowed his eyebrows as he glared at the ground, blaming it…why can't he say it now?
"The cloud…" He heard her says as he looked at her.
"…"
"They seemed… peaceful." She continued when he didn't say something, seeming amused at observing them. He looked up above the sky as he started to observe the clouds, too. She was right, the clouds, and the sky, he wished that he was like them, so peaceful and lives with ease. He closed his eyes as he lowered his head. Sakura glanced at him as she smiled. She putted her arms behind her lower back as she went in front of him.
"Hey, Sasuke-kun." She called out as he looked up to meet her gaze, their faces were centimeters away but Sakura didn't mind. She smiled widely at him as he raised one of his perfect eyebrows.
"What?" He asked shortly, curious at her sudden cheerfulness. Sakura waved her fingers at his face as she pulled back.
"Let's go meet Naruto on the ramen stand." She suggested as she grinned. He sighed again as he nodded in agreement. He pushed his body away from the railing as he kept his hands in his pockets and started to walk to where the place is. Sakura smiled secretly as she followed him.
"Sasuke-kun…" She called his name softly as he looked at her, showing her that she got his attention.
"Thanks." She whispered a small smile on her lips as she looked down on her feet. Sasuke smirk as he continued on walking "Yep, that's her". They arrived at their destination when they saw Naruto eating his ramen hungrily like he had not eaten by months.
"MORE PLEASE!" He grinned as he held his eleventh bowl up in the air. Sasuke and Sakura went to seat beside Naruto as he smiled at his teammates.
"Oh! Ohayou Teme, Sakura-chan." He acknowledged them, giving them his foxy wide grin. Sakura nodded happily, smiling at her fox friend while Sasuke "Hn'd". Quite calm.
Sasuke was brought back half years ago with the help of his best friend, Naruto Uzumaki. He planned the least to go back to Konoha though, he had achieve his first goal when he lives by forest with his newly found team, team Hebi, after he betrayed Orochimaru, realizing that he is not needed anymore, he tried to seek for his brother. He had achieved his first goal and never regretted it, and then he met this 'Madara' and told him the reasons to why Itachi killed his whole clan. Destroying Konoha was the second goal in mind; he joins the group Akatzuki for he knew that their plan was to kill the elders; who had ordered his brother to kill the Uchiha Clan and the Hokage; who runs the Konoha. They were going to attack the village when Naruto and the others came, the container of the kyuubi.
"You need to capture him." The leader announced.
Naruto fought him with his own power, they continued the fight they had once when they were only genins, they fought angrily and determination in their own eyes, Sasuke has the upper hand and when Naruto almost loose his focus, Sasuke took it as a chance to finish him off. Naruto was near from dying from loosing a lot of blood, when Sakura came and pleaded for Sasuke to stop.
"Get lost"
"Why you Asshole!"
She also fought him using her own powers under her training with the Hokage herself. She tried to stop him but he was too powerful for her, she was bloody and beaten up, but he never finishes them off. There's no other option left she could think of…
Her tears…
... And it made him stop.
"Teme, what brought you two here?" Naruto interrupted Sasuke's thoughts as he waited impatiently for his companion to answer his short question.
"I asked him to come visit you here Naruto." said their pink-haired friend, smiling cutely at them. Both males glanced at her as they both nodded and smiled in return, Naruto smiled and Sasuke smirked.
"So…" Naruto started as he stretched his arms and stood up from his sit after paying for his meal.
"Let's go, Kakashi-sensei might be waiting for us." He continued boredly as he started to leave, his friends trailing behind him.
----------------
They waited for hours when their Jounin teacher came, holding his orange book. A puff of smoke came out when he arrived greeting them with a simple "Yoh." Naruto and Sakura had not yelled at him for they became matured now by the time. Kakashi had been too proud to his students. They never made him down.
"Tomorrow, we have a mission." He said as he sticks his nose to his book. Sakura's left eye twitch when she saw that book of his again.
"Ah—Kakashi-sensei, would you mind throwing that book awa---"She had not finished her sentence when their teacher turned pale and eyes were wide as saucers as he fell down from his seating position on top of a tall rock, looking rather grim.
"S-sensei?" Naruto sweat drop as he bent down and tried touching him with his pointing finger, afraid the he might hurt his sensei.
Sasuke closed his eyes in annoyance as he "Hn'd" again.
"Stop over reacting sensei." Sakura whined as Naruto stood up.
"We should head home." Naruto suggested.
"He already said what he wanted to say anyway." He continued as he putted his arms at the back of his head. Sasuke went away after waving goodbye. Sakura went beside Naruto as she furrowed her eyebrows.
"Kakashi-sensei." She called out, her voice rather scary. Their teacher raised his eyebrows as he seated up, reading that book of his again.
"Well, start packing up." Said Kakashi as he continued reading, his eyes half closed boringly. Sakura crossed her arms as she pouted. Naruto stared at her childhood crush, seeming amused.
"Kaka-sensei, what is the mission all about? Should we wear our anbu uniform?" She asked curiously as she waited impatiently for their Sensei's answer. Naruto nodded in agreement as he crossed his arms.
"No, you'll wear your usual fighting clothes; it is not an anbu mission." Kakashi informed them as he searched for someone, who was completely forgotten.
"Where is Sai, Sakura?" He asked as he stood up, dusting his clothes. Sakura closed her eyes and started to walk, waving her hands in goodbye.
"Maybe he's still on his mission, Sensei." She said almost out of sight. Kakashi faced Naruto as he smiled under his mask.
"Aren't you going home?" He asked him. He shrugged. "Of course." Was his reply and with a 'poof' he was gone.
Kakashi sighed as he started to head home too.
"I'm out of Icha-Icha paradise." He sighed sadly.
------------
Sasuke walked around the village emotionlessly, not planning on going home yet. He made his way to their training ground as he started to train, wanting to be stronger than the usual; he can't accept that Naruto is going stronger and he being left out. He aimed his kunai to one of the manikins with bull's eye in the middle, which was easy for him to target. After about an hour of training, he decided to take a rest then later on, he'll go home.
"Annoying." He muttered, only one person was in his mind as he plopped down on the ground.
"Are you referring to me?" Someone interrupted him as he swiftly got up and made into his fighting stance, alarmed, a kunai in his right hand.
The intruder giggled.
Sasuke wrinkled his forehead figuring who has interrupted him. He calmed down, noting that he's in no danger and plopped down on the ground again.
"Hn."
"Why are you here? It's almost eight." Sakura asked worriedly as she made her way to sit next to him, Sasuke closed his eyes, not wanting to talk for now. He heard her sighed as she hugged her knees, he can't help but to steal glances at her. "What's it about her that makes me feel things that I usually doesn't feel?" he thought irritably as he closed his eyes again. She's different; yes he had noticed that, she's still cheerful and sometimes she's not, she isn't weak anymore and he don't addresses her as weak when their genin days though, he just say it that to her, for her to train harder, so when the time he was gone, she can protect herself. He felt Sakura shifted her position as he glanced at her.
"Sasuke-kun?" She asked hoping to get an answer as she looked intently at him. Sasuke looked away, avoiding her gaze.
"What now?" He asked lazily as he closed his eyes again.
"Thanks… for coming back to us." She whispered as she looked at the stars. "It's already late." She added quickly, afraid that she'll angry Sasuke for taking that subject up again as she stood up to her feet while dusting her clothes. Sasuke only kept looking at her, his eyes were blank, no emotions visible in them.
"Sakura." He called as she looked at him.
"Hmm?"
"Go home." He said after a second of hesitation. Sakura stared at him for a while before turning her back to him. Eyes half closed, her lips turning into a frown. She felt depressed and she only needs company, she seeks that to Sasuke, but knowing him, it won't help either.
"I was about to go home." She pointed out. Sasuke smirked as he stood up and walked beside her. Sakura only watch him curiously as she raised her pink eyebrows. Sasuke only looked at her as he smirks again and pocketed his hands.
"I'm walking you home." He simply said as he started to walk ahead. Sakura's too stunned to move as she let her mind register to what Sasuke said, miracles are starting to happen! Sasuke stopped as he turned around to look at her.
"What?" He asked, starting to get annoyed. Sakura shook her head as she runs up to catch to him as she smiles widely to him. Sasuke "Hn'd"
They started to head to where Sakura's apartment as they walk silently, not a word coming from their lips. When they reached their destination, stopping at her front house, she faced Sasuke.
"Ah….thanks…Sasuke-kun." She whispered looking down, not knowing what to say. Sasuke yet again smirked at her cuteness. He silently walked near her as he planted a soft kiss on her forehead, earning a surprise look from Sakura.
"W-what's that for?" She asked widening her eyes, feeling stupid for stuttering, her face red as a tomato. Sasuke pocketed his hands as he turned around.
"You'll soon figure out what that means." He said not telling her his real point. He waved a hand at her then 'poof' he's gone. Sakura looked at the spot where Sasuke had gone as she put her right hand on her chest, feeling her heart bits fast like a hundred per minute. She turned around as she entered her house; Sasuke was all she had thought to.
While in her sleep, she didn't know that someone had been watching her since this morning. A stalker, maybe, but he was more than that. He was wearing a cat face mask as he seated at the nearby tree, watching her form. His eyes were black as coal as his hair flew by the wind. He was also addresses as a great anbu and a great ninja. He had watched her every time, wanting to be with her, wanting no one but her…
The only reason he can't is that the Uchiha is always with her side, him… every time. He always has what he wanted. And he hated him since the start, when he first met him. He hated him for taking his blossom away from him, even if Sasuke was the first who had her. He hated the way he looked at Sakura, he hated the way he acted towards her, he hated it all.
"Sakura." He whispered softly as he softened his eyes, his thoughts about Sasuke, completely forgotten. Maybe this unknown anbu was really nice, and had been serving for Konoha, he had not killed innocent people like the Uchiha did. All he wanted was to be by her side.
Ever since he had met her, she always smiles and always show the real her. She helps a lot of people as she saved them from death. She thought him how to feel emotions, how to have them, and she also thought him how to… love, how to feel being loved. The stranger looked down as he removes his mask.
"Thank you." He whispered as he disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Sakura opened her eyes as she looked at the nearby trees; she already had this feeling that someone's watching her, but never puts her attention into it. She seated as she walked to her window, searching for someone. She looked down as she thought of something.
"Where are you?" She asked to no one.
--------------------------
The next morning was unpleasant for Sakura. She brush her teeth and went to wash her face when Naruto came cheerfully, she thought that he had matured, no... really. She went to answer the door when Naruto hugged her tightly, she went back to her bed seeking for sleep when Naruto came busting to her room door, blabbering about his upcoming date with Hinata, she put her pillow to her head preventing to hear his loud voice as she gritted her teeth in annoyance.
"So, when she came I was so 'hey baby' and then she went 'oh' and then—"A pillow came flying to his face, shutting his mouth. Sakura knew he was inventing that story again, no way that he'll be brave enough to say things like that to Hinata-chan.
"What was that all about Sakura-chan?" He asked her while holding the pillow she had threw to him as he went beside her, still gritting her teeth.
"It's only four Naruto Uzumaki, give me time to go to sleep." She informed him as she kept her eyes closed tight. Naruto only looked at her as he crossed his arms.
"I need help Sakura-chan." He begged like a child that wanted to have his most wanted candy as he clasps his hands together.
"All right!" She whined as she seated up in her bed, facing Naruto with her bored eyes. Naruto backed a little bit afraid that Sakura would punch him in the face. Sakura raised one of her pink eyebrows, her hair was in a complete mess.
"What?" She asked irritated as her eyes drop but quickly snatched it open.
"Ah, do you need to sleep first? Sakura-chan?" He asked stupidly, staring at her innocently. Sakura furrowed her eyebrows angrily as she started to go… RAMPAGE!
"GAAAH!! YOU BAKA! I WAS SLEEPING WHEN YOU BUST IN THE DOOR THEN WAKE ME UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MORNING BABBLING ABOUT SOMETHING THAT IT WAS NOT EVEN TRUE AND NOW YOU'RE FREAKING ASKING ME IF I NEEDED SOME DAMN GOOD SLEEP?!" She yelled in one breath. Naruto backed a little more, his face turned pale and went running away.
"AAAAAAAAHHH! SAKURA-CHAN!" He cried like a wounded dog as he left her house. Sakura sighed as she smacked her palm on her forehead and went to lie down again.
"You know, you shouldn't have yelled at him like that." A man behind the shadows appeared as he smirks down at her. Sakura's eyes widened as she stood up from her feet and went to hug the man.
"I missed you!" She whispered happily as she hugged him tight, afraid that he'll leave her again. The man only smiled at her actions as he returned her welcome hug.
"Good to know, Sakura." He whispered back. Did I tell you guys that this morning was not that good for Sakura? 'Cause if you look closely, there's a man outside her room leaning beside her door frame as he watch the two angrily. They both didn't notice him there. Guess who it is?!
