Sasuke's Last Breath
He fell on the ground unconciously gasping for air. His heart pounding gradualy, his face covered in viscious blood, his skin ripped apart, his bursting lips purple, and his arms complete of bruises. Sakura ran for hope and tumbled to the ground. She lifted Sasuke slowly and let her salty tears fall on his dry face. He slowly lifted his hand up and touched Sakura's rosy cheeks. He coughed slowly like if nothing were to happen. His dim eyes slowly closed. Sasuke was dying. She slowly lifted her head to the man who caused this.
"Y-you...", she slowly spoke. "W-why? What did Sasuke ever do to YOU? WHY?"
The man lifted up his sharp sword. His thin and slender body moved slowly and calmly. He looked proud and cordial that he had killed his own brother. He smiled. He smiled viciously and honored. There was a quite silence. His face lit up. He laughed. Itachi Uchiha was laughing.
"What's so funny?", Sakura asked. Her eyes burned as like she was staring at the sun for too long. She wasn't staring at the sun or a certain light. Her face became pale. She didn't have those rosy cheeks Naruto loved to stare. She didn't have that cute smile she used to do when Sasuke talked to her. No. This time she looked fierce. She looked infuriated.
"To think that you would risk your life for my brother's sake. To think that you almost gave up your life just so he could live", he spoke unhurriedly. His smile died. He glared at Sakura with toxic eyes. "You know nothing about his past."
Itachi turned and walked away wrathfully. He moved without a word. Where was he heading now? No one knew. Maybe the world would never know where Itachi Uchiha was going and what he was going to do subsequently. Sakura plunked up. She looked at the gloomy clouds surrounding the fine sky. It suddenly started to rain. She looked at Sasuke one last time.
"I'm sorry Sasuke. I'm sorry but I couldn't stop your brother. Please, don't be mad. Pl-", she was interrupted. Sasuke's shaky hand covered her injured lips. What was he doing? Was he mad? What?
"It's okay Sakura-chan. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for not noticing you. I'm sorry if I ever hurt you. I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry.", he spoke with a lifeless voice. "I love-"
HIs voice got cut off. Surely, his eyes closed. They closed with woe. Sakura knew what he was going to say.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
Those words were wrapped around her head. His voice. He sounded miserable. He sounded heartbroken. Did he? Did he really have feelings for her? Then why was he so uncaring? Sakura's head was filled with puzzled questions. She turned to glance at Sasuke one last time. She held him tightly onto her chest and kissed his forehead. She wiped her tears away with her hand and sighed.
"Goodbye, Sasuke-kun..", she forced a miserable smile. "Goodbye, forever."
