Blood



It was dark.

Never had Sakura felt so alone.

She sat on the ground; in a place where she had fought a battle she would remember until her last breath of life.

She could smell the blood.

She could see the blood.

She could taste the blood…

Sakura would do so much to never have been there. To never have experienced the fight.

To never have killed the boy.

To never have had to see the look in Akasuna no Sasori's eyes as he was finally struck in the heart.

She wished for his eyes to open again.

She wished for his body to return, return to life. Even if he'd kill her.

It would be worth it.

It would all be worth it, if she could see him open his eyes again.

People had always told her; opposites attract.

She hadn't thought about that line since she was little. She had always been oblivious to love for anyone else than Sasuke.

And when Sasuke had left, she had grown used to the feeling of emptiness, of not having anyone to feel affection for.

She had forgotten the feeling until she saw his eyes as his life faded away…

His eyes, they had been telling her everything she had forgotten about feelings.

How important it was to feel affection. How important it was to have someone to truly love. How much someone could care.

She would gladly give her life if it brought Sasori back... The boy who had fought her until his death, but only to protect those who cared about him.

And so, she did…

Once again, the smell of fresh blood spread in the cold cave.
