A Thing to Remember
By: Goingthroughchanges
Sasuke and Sakura
Prologue
When the crystal clear drops fell from her eyes and trailed down her cheeks like liquid pain I felt a sudden urge to reach out to her. Wrap my strong arms that knew no other tenderness then that of death around her shaking shoulders. However I knew that far more easily I could crush her with my lustful rage. Squeeze the life out of her and in the end hold her lifeless vessel in my arms. I knew I would feel the bottomless pit of regret then, until hell opened its gates to welcome me home.
"Sasuke-kun please…don't go." She whispered.
Her sweet lips quivered but her body was erect as if she was trying to keep her despair from breaking through. She was trying to show she was strong. To me. I stared coolly at her, tracing the lovely hue of her pink hair; flowing down her back like a serene waterfall. To imprint her as she was today in my mind as well as I could. I was saying goodbye to this village. This godforsaken village that proved no purpose other than a cruel reminder of all I had lost. I had to leave, to get away and grow stronger so I could defeat the one that fueled my insanity. Then maybe when and if I came back I could gaze upon her heavenly silhouette and make her smile and be able to give her the love she deserved.
"You don't need to leave." She whispered, her voice soft with a pleading edge that sliced the edges of my heart.
I didn't trust myself to say a word as I took a step forward. I prayed as I came closer that she wouldn't see my shaking hands. Begged and pleaded with whoever kept the secrets of the earth that she wouldn't see my knees that seemed to turn inwards as if they were too weak to support my body.
For my sanity and hers I prayed that she couldn't see my weakness.
She gazed into my eyes with her crystal green irises that hung in the middle of her face like sad drops of green. I couldn't face her head on. I flipped around rustling the crinkling green leaves and stood behind her. The wind flipped up her hair and I could smell the sweetness of her shampoo. So close and if I were to just reach out my hand I could touch her. Bring her close to me and breathe in her essence like every fabric of my body wanted to. I leaned closer until I was sure she could feel my warm breath on her skin. "Sakura…don't wait for me." I whispered as the swirling wind mingled with our intertwining strands of hair. "Please don't wait for me." I whispered. She sobbed her shoulders shaking as her head fell into her hands. "I'm sorry Sakura. I'm so sorry." I whispered as I gently pressed my fingers into her neck and watched as she gracefully crumbled into my waiting arms. I held her close to my chest and slowly rocked her still body for a while. "I'm sorry Sakura." I whispered gently pressing my lips against her temple. "Thank you for everything." I gently laid her on a bench slowly tracing my fingers along her cheek.
"Goodbye."
I didn't look back but I didn't dare turn back in fear that if I didn't run away as fast as I could she would catch me and hold me until she destroyed herself with her love for me.
