OoOoOoOoOoO Sasuke's P.O.V. OoOoOoOoOoO
I walked down the aisle and sat in a familiar front row seat right in front of the preacher's pulpit.
This church always held so many memories. So many good, but some, were just the worst of my life, of my very long life that is. The life that I hate so much sometimes.
OoOoOoOoOoO Sakura's P.O.V. 5 years of age OoOoOoOoOoO
I twirled in my white and pink dress in front of the church's rows of seats and also in front of the stairs that led to where the preacher preached and that statue of Virgin Mary. My dress used to look REALLY pretty, but after so many days of crawling around on the floor, playing hide-and-go-seek in the woods, and being a normal 5 year old it became real, -what's the saying that Mommy uses? Oh! That's right!- ruffed up. I like those two words together. Mommy says when I use them I sound older and more –Get ready for this one!- mature. I'm sooo good! OH!
"Sakura! Where are you?!" Huh? Oh! My bestest friend in the world, Sasuke-kun, is calling for me!
"I'm in here silly goose!" I stopped twirling in my dress as Sasuke-kun stepped into the room.
"You're late!" I sang with the notes drifting in the air to him. He smirked and came towards me.
"That's because I was getting this for you." Hmm? I heard 'for you'. What is it?! OHHHH!
"Omi gosh Sasuke-kun! They're so pretty! Thank you much!" I said looking at the flowers he had picked, and arranged. I gave him a hug for the gift of flowers. They were a branch with little buds of cherry blossoms (Which are what Sakura means, get it?!? I know! I always thank my Mommy over and over again for giving me such a pretty name!) and some red tulips. It was the month of spring-
"Happy Birthday Sakura." He said smiling.
-and it is also my birthday. So I guess I wrong earlier, I'm not a normal 5 year old, I'm a growing 6 year old! With my best friend Sasuke also grow up with me. I held his hand as we led of the church to go play in the meadow.
OoOoOoOoOoO Later that year; in December OoOoOoOoOoO
"NO! NO! YOU, YOU'RE ALL WRONG! MOMMY'S NOT DEAD!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. I can't believe that they would say such a thing! Mommy couldn't go! I loved her, which would be enough to keep her on earth, right? Right?!?! It has to be…
"NO! MOMMY WILL WAKE UP! SHE JUST, SHE'S JUST ASLEEP!" The sheriff shook his head and bowed his head.
"You're wrong, you have to be! Mommy wouldn't leave me! I won't let her! She didn't die, no way, she…she didn't die." I whispered as tears wouldn't stop rolling down my cheeks. This was impossible. I shook my head and ran out of my house and towards the church. When I pushed the doors open, I ran down the center aisle and landed before the stairs that led to a statue of Virgin Mary with my dress spread out on the ground around me. I put my head in my hands and cried.
"Ms. Virgin Mary, I'm right, right? Mommy can't leave me! I'm not married! Daddy and the sheriff are wrong!"
"I'm sorry." I turned around and saw Sasuke standing there. He walked up the isle to me and sat down behind me. We did this all the time. He would sit behind me and I would lean back and lay my head on his chest. We stayed there for a while as I cried silently making the tears roll down my cheeks and land on his shirt.
"How do you do it? With out a Mommy and Daddy? With out a last name? Living with Kakashi-san, Sasuke-kun, tell me. I don't wanna live with out Mommy, she ment too much to me." I hiccupped from crying so much.
"I don't know. I think its easier cuz' I don't know my Mommy or Daddy. So there's nothing to miss. As for my last name, that's easy. I can live with only a first name. Do I want to? No. And Kakashi is good to me. He's not my daddy, and I know that. And he doesn't act like one. He's more of my friend that's a lot older than me." I rolled over so I was facing him. He ran a hand through my hair.
"But what makes it so much easier is that everyday I know that I can come here to the church, and see your pretty face." I smiled. I mean, you gotta give a hand to this guy! He could make me happy no matter what. Maybe losing Mommy wouldn't be as bad as I thought. That is, as long as I have Sasuke-kun with me. I rested my head on his shoulder and nuzzled my head until I got into a comfy position.
"Thank you Sasuke-kun, you're my bestest friend ever."
"That's cuz' I'm your only friend Sakura!" I shrugged.
"So? I don't care, as long I have you as a friend, I don't care if I have a million!"
"…" He didn't respond to that at first.
"Thanks Sakura. You're my bestest friend too. I'll always be by your side"
OoOoOoOoOoO At twelve years of age OoOoOoOoOoO
"Yes Sasuke-kun?" I yawned and rubbed my eye with a balled fist. He had told me to meet him at the church real early in the morning. And that it was important.
I was already there standing in a white dress that went down to my feet. I liked this one, it didn't poof out, and the bottom part was straight hiding my pale legs that we girls we're not allowed to show for some odd and stupid reason. And it was simple. And the top was really a white corset then was attached to the bottom part and two long elegant white sleeves.
He was just a tad late, and he hung his head, hands in his pockets as he walked down the isle. Oh-oh…something's wrong; last time he did that, he had told me that Kakashi-san had though my cat was a rodent, and had killed it. I didn't talk to him for a week. But that was so long ago, why did he look like this way now?
"Sakura, Kakashi had surprised me, and didn't give me a choice about something."
"Huh? What are you talking about Sasuke-kun?"
"I'm moving." …No. He was joking…
"You're messing with me again! Stop that! Come on! I wanted to go to the lake today!" But he lifted his head to show a gloomy looking Sasuke-kun. Oh…he was, he was serious, he was leaving me…
"But, but you told him that you're not going right?" Sasuke looked away.
"Right?!?! You wouldn't willingly leave me right?! Not like Mother!" My father had told me not to long ago that now that I was older, I could know the truth; Mother had committed suicide.
"Sakura…"
"No…"
"I'm sorry."
"But…But you said that you'd always be by my side! YOU TOLD ME THAT!" Sasuke looked at me startled and pain stricken. But I didn't really see that, I saw him being mean, and leaving me.
"Sakura! We were 6 at the time!"
"Oh, so that promise broke the day after?!?!?!"
"No! Sakura!"
"You only said it to make me feel better! You didn't mean it! You didn't mean it at all!"
"Sakura, please, listen! I don't want to leave. I don't want to leave you!"
"You're lying!"
"No I'm not! Please Sakura, try to understand."
"I can't! I can't understand anything! I can't understand why you have to leave; I still can't understand why Mommy had to leave!" I hadn't said Mommy in over 3 years. I was crying now, tears were rolling down my cheeks and onto my dress.
"Sakura, I'm sorry, really, I am. I don't want to, but having Kakashi as my guardian; I have to listen to him. I'm sure you'll find some new friends over time…"
"No I can't! Nobody ever wants to be friends with me! Nobody ever wants to be friends with the stupid pink haired ugly duckling!" Sasuke looked shocked. I looked away angry and sad.
"Just leave." I shoved him away. Fine, leave me. But Sasuke came back up to me, cupped my face with his hands and brought his lips with mine. He gave me such a sweet kiss, I wished it would last for forever. And that he would pull away and tell me that alright, he would stay. That he would stay by my side for forever. But when he did pull away, his deep, black onyx eyes looked wondrously into mine. He still looked sad.
"You my dear cherry blossom are not at all an ugly duckling. Now, I'm going to leave, and you won't be mad; you'll just be waiting for my arrival again. Ok?" I stared back at him. How did he do it? He always changed my mood in a split second. I started to tear up again, and I suddenly embraced him in a hug.
"You better not make me wait for forever mister. If you make any intention to, I will hunt you down and drag your sorry butt back here." I spoke into his shoulder as I felt him hug me back as tightly as I had hugged in the first place.
"Promise?"
"Promise."
"Deal?"
"Deal."
I pulled back at looked good, long, and hard at him for a while. His dark features always lit up my day; an odd do of black raven hair that had bangs like mine that framed his face, pale skin also like mine. A set of beautiful onyx eyes that I could stare into for hours on end in to, a normal nose, and lips that were just a small touch redder than normal. He always was taller, and he was now about a good two inches taller. He had dressed opposite of me; in black. A black shirt with a matching black jacket that had a small odd pin that was in the shape of a fan. Well, a circle with a little 'tail' on the bottom. It was red and white, red on top, white on the bottom. And the colors changed with a slice that was curved in the middle. Sasuke always wore it. Kakashi-san had told us that they found it pinned on his blanket when he was found in front of the hospital's doors so long ago. With no ID at all, but the name 'Sasuke' woven into the blanket's bottom left corner.
"Don't you ever forget me."
"I can't forget the girl with pink hair that fills my life." I smiled and gave him a small peck on the lips and turned him around and marched him to the doors.
"The sooner that you leave, the sooner that you'll come back." I stopped pushing him when we were three feet away from the doors. I stood behind him, and he didn't turn around. Good, cuz' if he did, I'd see his eyes, and pull him into a hug and never letting go.
"And you won't forget me?"
"Can't, and won't. You're locked in my heart right next to Mother." I could feel him smile. He walked forward as slowly as ever, and opened the church's doors letting the sunshine flood the church's inside. He hesitated before he kept walking. A good way off, he turned back around, and waved at me. I got on my tippy toes and waved back at him.
OoOoOoOoOoO 4 years later; at 16 years of age. OoOoOoOoOoO
"And dear Lord, please help those in sick, mostly my friend Hinata. Keep her close in your eye." I prayed as I sat front row on the left of the grand church's benches that held people every Sunday as the preacher preached. I stayed there for a while in my most favorite place in the world. The church is a place of peace, and any time I needed to feel safe, I came here. I always had since I was a child of my younger years.
I heard the doors open, but I didn't turn around. Better let the person that had come for church also for peace, best alone. I just sat there in my long and flowing red and white dress. A red corset was the main part, and it had a long white skirt under it that only showed at the split in the front between a red fabric that caped it. I scratched my neck with my hand that was the only part of my arm that was shown under a long white sleeve.
"Do you remember last Sunday's sermon? I just happened to miss it." Oh my… that voice. I slowly turned around to see very handsome Sasuke in front of the church doors. I stood up, and smiled. I walked up to the pulpit and folded my hands resting them on it.
"Well, why don't you come sit down for it?" I questioned him, making him smirk, and walk to the seat I just had been sitting at. I told myself to stop smiling like a mad woman and stop staring at how handsome he had become.
"Trust. It's an important thing in life. Jesus and so many other biblical characters had to trust their Lord. And so do we, we have never seen him; but we trust the word and scripture to led us to the be hold Paradise when we rest our eyes and go with our spirit, leaving our physical remains on the Earth." I gave him a dazzling smile.
"But we also trust your most favorite person to know that they want a big hug when they come back after leaving them alone for 4 years." With that, I ran to Sasuke and he smirked as I hugged him tight and he did right back.
"I'm still your favorite person huh?" His deep husky voice said to my hair has he leaned his chin onto the top of my head. I nuzzled my head against his chest and giggled.
"Yep! Not even Father, Hinata, or Naruto can steal that title away from you." He pulled back.
"Hinata? Naruto? Who are they?" I smiled at his confusion.
"Friends."
"Friends?"
"Friends."
"Ahh, Friends." He hugged me again. I noticed that he still wore the small fan pin. I should know, it was pressing in my fore-head. But I didn't mind; it was there cuz' Sasuke was back, and hugging me. I shoved him away and looked up and down at him. Really people; he was drop dead handsome. I bet that were ever he went, girls swooned over him.
"So any boyfriends lately?" WHAT?!?? He sounded, curious, but like he was afraid of the answer. I laughed and shook my head.
"No way! Naruto's asked a couple of times, but I always turned him down and sent him to Hinata. Tehehe, she has the biggest crush on him; and he doesn't even notice it! He's like a lost puppy, a funny one at that." I smiled at the memories. I had made so many while Sasuke was gone those long 4 years and made them to my advantage as much as I could.
"Good. Cuz if you did, I'd have to hunt them down and ask their true intentions."
"True intentions?!"
"What if they only wanted your body?"
"WHAT?!?! I'm nothing, they wouldn't do that!" I said looking away slapping the air as if I was trying to slap the ridiculous idea away. Sasuke laughed shaking his head.
"What?"
"Nothing."
"What!?"
"Nothing!"
"No, it's something Sasuke! Tell me!" He flinched. Hmm? Why'd he flinch?
"Why'd you flinch?" I asked him softly.
"No more 'Sasuke-kun'?"
"Oh.," I pursed my lips, "I guess it's been so long that I haven't used it, I just, I just forgot to."
"Hn." We were quiet for a while. It was so great to see him. Really, it was.
"Sasuke-kun? Where'd you go?" I said with a hint of excitement. He looked up at me when I said, 'Sasuke-kun' and smiled. He must have thought I did it cuz' I don't like him like I used to, oh no! If anybody asked me who my best friend was, I'd still answer automatically, 'Sasuke'.
"Well Sakura, let's see…I went to England!" I gasped, no way! I always have wanted to go there! "And Romania, they were the most beautiful places in the world."
"Really?!"
"Really."
"Did you meet some new people too?" I don't know why, but Sasuke looked-dare I say?-mad? Hmm…
"Yes. I did."
"Any new friends?"
"No." I blinked.
"You're kidding."
"No, I'm not."
"But you said you met new people! Didn't you make any friends?!"
"Sakura, not people you met in life will be nice to you, so not every one will be your friend."
"Oh."
"Well…guess what?"
"What?!"
"I have something for you." I smiled, and had a flashback to when I turned 6, and Sasuke had said that and then had given me some flowers as my b-day present.
"Close your eyes." I did as I was told and gasped when something cold was felt against my skin. I instantly opened my eyes, and fingered the item.
"Omi gosh…" Sasuke had put a silver chain around my neck that had an onyx gem that was the shape of an oval; it had small stones all around it; a red ruby, then a white opal, a red ruby, a white opal. It was like at all around, and it was just so, just so beautiful!
"Thank you so much Sasuke-kun!" I jump on him in a hug. He chuckled.
"You're welcome. Thanks for liking it so much."
"How could I not?!? It's, it's just so pretty! I'll wear it for forever!" Sasuke smiled at me and looked as if I just told him that I'd just found out who his parents are.
"Good." I got his hand and walk towards the church doors.
"Come on! I want you to met Naruto and Hinata!"
"Uhh…err…ok?" He said as I practically dragged him away.
OoOoOoOoOoO A week later OoOoOoOoOoO
I walked backwards as I faced Sasuke talking to him. We had gone around town all day just remembering old times and having fun. The couple days before I had gotten Sasuke to hang out with Hinata and Naruto. It was fun! Sasuke and Naruto went their ways of being the boys they are, and instantly rejected each other. Hinata went all shy around him. I think he kinda scared her…but Sasuke seemed, quiet around her. Odd, I know!
"Guess what?"
"What?" I took a deep breath.
"I'm going to be a preacher soon. Minister Usagi said that he'd help me." Sasuke looked surprised at what I said.
"What? The church is like my second home! And I always find comfort in the Lord's word, so why not? I could help others. That's all I really want to do; help."
"Ok." WHAT?!?
"Ok?! That's all you have to say?!?"
"Yeah…"
"Well grr you!"
"Oh really? 'Grr me'?" Sasuke looked at me evilly. Oh-oh.
"Yeah…" I yelped as Sasuke suddenly was in front of me squatting, putting his hands under my thighs, picking me up. This made me automatically wrap my arms around his neck, and he lifted me making us in me being the position of riding him as he started to walk giving me a piggy back ride. As we walked by, a man glared at Sasuke and mouthed something. I tell Sasuke was frowning. Huh??
"Sasuke, what'd he say? Why's he glaring? In fact, how come most people were looking at you oddly all today?!?" Sasuke stayed quiet for a while.
"I don't know Sakura." Liar. After all those years of knowing him, I knew that he was lying. Why?! We've never kept a thing from each other, well, I never have…
"Sakura, close your eyes. And yes, it's going to be a long time." Awwww! But I don't want to have look at my eyelids for such a long time! But I did as I was told.
"This better be good Sasuke-kun! Or I'm going to leave you and go home early!" Sasuke snickered, which ment he was smirking. Those two things were impossible with out each other.
"Stop smirking at me!"
"…"
"No."
"SASUKE-KUN! You're being mean." I pouted. I didn't care if I was 16, I would always act like a child sometimes. Father told me to grow up and be a lady. But I still acted like a child behind his back.
So after about 20 minutes of me trying to get Sasuke-kun to talk, (Which never happened.) he stopped.
"Ok, open your eyes." It had become early nightfall, and we stood in the meadow. I gasped.
"You remembered…" I murmured glazing at the night sky already filled with hands full of stars. When we were kids we would come out here after dinner and lay down in the tall grass looking at the sky for hours and talk about the future, and what it might hold.
"How could I not? I'd sit in my room looking at the sky hoping that we were both wishing on the same star." We always wished on stars too. Stars were magical in my eyes. And if you had not sinned that day, you could wish upon a star and your wish would come true. Sasuke let me down and we lay next to each other in the not-so-tall grass. (Some of the boys in the village got in trouble, one being Naruto, and they had to cut the grass in the meadow.)
"Sasuke-kun?"
"Hn?" I thought about my mother and wondered if she ever watched me from heaven and whished that she had never committed murder to herself.
"Have you ever done something and whished that you could go back into time from hurting people, and take back the burden?" Sasuke was silent for a long time. He must be really thinking. I looked at the sky. Seems as if it would rain…clouds started to collect in the sky.
"Ever so. Ever so, everyday I wish that I could go back into time and fix things. They surely didn't happen for the better. But the world does things that isn't for the better." Rolled over on my side and stared at Sasuke-kun who still had his back against the ground and staring at the sky. Sasuke-kun; my best friend. A guy- no, man that ment so much to me. I thought about how much it hurt for him to leave. And how Naruto became the only boy I played with. How Sasuke-kun ment so much to me. Then I realized it; I didn't want him as my best friend only, I wanted him as my best friend and boyfriend. I loved him with all my heart. He had always helped me, been there when I was alone, and never let me call my self anything below a title of a princess. How he had so many burdens on himself; no family, not a last name, no idea of how he was, and that he always would listen to me when I was talking about un-justice of father not buying me a something I really wanted. And how I'd go to the church the next day and see that exact thing sitting on the bench on my favorite seat. How could I have not seen it before? That I would live for Sasuke-kun for my whole life, and love him with my whole heart.
"Sasuke-kun?" He rolled his head to look at me. I got closer to him and laid on his right side. I laid my head on his shoulder.
"Hn?"
"I…I..." I couldn't say it! What was the matter with me!?!?
"What??"
"I love you!" I blurted quickly and then hid my face in the fabric that was on his shoulder. I didn't know what he looked like, and I could tell that he tensed.
"What?" I sat up and looked at him longingly. Maybe he didn't love me…and only wanted me as friend, nothing more…I, I hope not…I'd be heart broken…
"I love you. And I have for such a long time; but never realized it tilith now." I whispered looking away across the meadow.
"It's ok if you don't love me back…I'll live...maybe…But I'll always love you no matter what and never leave you…but if you want to leave me, fine…" I felt like crying. I was just making a fool of myself! Sasuke-kun could possibly have anyone he wanted, why chose me? But my thoughts were cut off when he pressed his lips against mine, kissing me like when we were twelve. Oh my…
He broke the kiss and stared at my eyes.
"Sakura, what have I told you? Don't say things that aren't true." I gasped, "I've loved you for so long, from our childhood, but never said a word." My eyes were probably as wide as wagon wheels. Sasuke-kun grabbed my waist and kissed my long and good again. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back. He, he loved me back! He really did! Oh my! OH MY! He had told me…that he loved me since childhood…
We broke apart and I lay next to him hugging his waist with my head on his shoulder glazing at the sky. This night was magical. I looked at a star and whished that Sasuke-kun would marry me, and that he'd always be there for me. Sasuke-kun got up, making my arm let go and me lying on the flattened ground. He looked behind him at me.
"I think it's time we should start to head off love, don't you think so too?" What? That the name love was perfect how it rolled off his lips? Sure! But going home; no. I wanted to spend the whole night here, glazing at the stars with him. But I couldn't argue, one I didn't feel like it, and two he had already pulled me up and was picking pieces of grass from my hair. I took his hand and we started to walk off back to town.
When the town's gas lanterns came into view I stopped and so did Sasuke-kun.
He was about to speak when Kakashi-san came out of a store, saw Sasuke-kun, and waved at him telling him to come. Sasuke-kun looked at me.
"I shall see you tomorrow love." He leaned down and gave me a peak at the lips before walking away. I watched his back for a while before heading home myself.
I opened the door, quickly went inside, closed it, and leaned against the door with my eyes closed. What a magical night.
"Sakura." My father's strict voice came before me. I fluttered open my eyes and saw him sitting at the couch, legs crossed, and staring at me long and hard.
"Yes father?" I straightened and walked towards him. He frowned.
"Why are you home so late? It's nearly eight." In deed, I noticed that it was. My curfew expired 20 minutes ago. Oops.
"Why, I was at the meadow with Sasuke-kun looking at the stars." His frown deepened. He closed his eyes.
"Stop seeing that boy." …what? What?!? I couldn't, I shouldn't, and I wouldn't! I loved him with all my heart, and so did he!
"But father, I love him! And so does he to me! I must keep seeing him" His eyes opened angrily. He stood up and came to me. He slapped me. I gasped. How could he?!?!
"You will stop seeing him under my order and the fact that you are to be married to Gaara. Be a lady and listen to your father. Your foolish mother is not here to help you this time." OH MY! He just didn't speak of mother in such an awful way! And who him to be such a man to engage me with Gaara!? Gaara was so mean and cold! I'd rather marry Sasuke-kun! I would marry Sasuke-kun!
"Never! I love him, not that monster of a man Gaara! And don't you dare call mother foolish! She was your wife!" I screeched at him. He slapped me again, so hard I fell to the floor.
"Don't you speak to me like that! I knew I should have never married her and had you! You know why your mother killed herself? Huh? Because we couldn't stand each other! I hated her, and, and I hate you! Both of you are such troublesome woman! Not needed! You will listen to me, and stop crying!" No…father hated me…he hated mother…mother had killed herself from this man's fury. No…this, this was just too much…
"And your mother probably cursed you for being the reason that we could never part!" I gasped. Never! Mother loved me…right?! SHE LOVED ME! I couldn't stop crying. My father hated me, and was being violent. I was commanded to marry the bastard Gaara, and stop seeing my beloved Sasuke-kun. And now he was saying that mother hated and cursed me. I sobbed as he came forward to me again, I coward in fear.
"I said stop crying you-"
"YOU'RE A MONSTER! That's what you are! To hate your wife and only child! And to be so violent on an innocent lady! And to force to in marriage and lave her beloved! You're a monster! You're a monster!" I sobbed out the last part. His eyes flashed with anger, and stepped forward again to hurt me further. But the hit never came. I looked up to see Sasuke-kun standing there handing my father's arm up in the air. I didn't even hear the door open! How did he get here so fast?! I felt glad for him saving me…but still, how'd he get here so fast?
"Ahh, 'Sasuke-kun' here to the rescue for his future mate. You know what Sakura? I'll tell you something, this man is a-"
"DON'T!" He yelled scared.
"-vampire! Why do you think the town is growing mad in him? Ever since he came back, cows have been sucked dry! Sasuke is a vampire! Go a head; show her your wicked fangs!" I gasped. NO! Never! My dear Sasuke-kun was too sweet and loving to be such a wrenched creature! Vampires were the devil's workers! He couldn't possibly be…no. A preacher as I couldn't be in love with an evil vampire! I helped get the land rid of them! I heal! Vampires killed! No!!!!!! I looked up at Sasuke-kun to see him looking such a sad man.
"No!" I screamed and sobbed. "He can't be! He can't be!" But father got out of Sasuke-kun's grasp and choked him. Sasuke-kun forced out his fangs. NO! I was seeing things; I was dreaming such a nightmare! This wasn't true…no…the fangs were fake…
"No…"
"I'm sorry Sakura! I was going to tell you! But tonight when you said that you loved me, I couldn't! I couldn't scare you off! Because you felt the same about me like I did so to you!" I cried and plugged my ears. I didn't just hear that, no! My father laughed wickedly.
"See? So would you rather have this vampire, or should I say your 'Dear Sasuke-kun', or Gaara!?!?" I got up and ran to my room. NO! This wasn't true! Not at all…it's just couldn't possibly be…
"I, I , NO!" I screamed. I went to my dresser. I couldn't take this. If this was the world, then I hated it. I truly hated it. I opened the drawer and saw the gleaming silver gun that mother had used to kill herself. I fingered the handle. I picked it up and I heard Sasuke-kun stop in the door way from coming to get me. I grasped it, and turned around, it in my hand. Sasuke-kun saw it and stared.
"No Sakura, please don't…"
"Sasuke-kun, I have to!"
"I won't let you! I won't let you leave me alone on this world!"
"You'll have to!" I still had tears rolling down my cheeks. It was useless, I wouldn't change my mind. He came towards me, but I shoved him away, hard. He fell to the ground and I ran. But almost stopped when I saw father dead on the ground. Oh my God, father's name in vain or what, Sasuke-kun had killed him, and if I was right, he had two holes on him neck. Oh my…
That didn't help, I ran even faster as I could in my high heeled boots and pushed open the doors to the church slamming them and ran and fell in front of Virgin Mary.
"I'm sorry Lord that I'm deciding to never teach your word, but if this is what you want me to live with, I can't! I can't! And I need to know if mother really did hate and curse me. I love Sasuke-kun, I surely do. But I can't be with a vampire; I can't see Sasuke-kun kill! It's so out of picture. Please take care of him for me." Surely enough, the doors opened, and I stood up to see a fear and pain looking Sasuke-kun staring at me. His fangs gleamed in the moon light that streamed through the tall windows on each side of the church.
"Sakura! Don't! You said that you would love me no matter what! That you'd never leave me!" I felt heartbroken, I had said that. And I still ment it. I smiled sadistically.
"I do love you no matter what. And I'll always be here and never leave you; in your heart. But here on earth I will be no more. I can't take it. I need to ask mother if she really cursed me. I need to know! I do love you Sasuke-kun, oh-so dearly, but…but…" I didn't finish but sobbed even more. I looked away and my chest heaved from sobbing so hard.
"But…" He looked so lost. I want to help him so bad, but what if I did? I'd be helping a vampire nether less! I couldn't! I put the gun's barrel to my chin, and put my finger close to the trigger.
"You said that you'd never leave me! That you'd love me no matter what!" I could see a tear roll down Sasuke-kun's face. I made him cry…Lighting flashed outside.
"I love you so much Sasuke-kun, but because I do, I have to leave." I saw Hinata and Naruto run into the church before I pulled the trigger and felt a jaw-jerking pain. I felt myself falling with out me being able to do a thing. I mouthed 'I'm sorry' to Sasuke-kun.
OoOoOoOoOoO Sasuke's P.O.V. OoOoOoOoOoO
No. She just did it…she just…she just pulled the trigger. I saw her fall and the gun slip out of her hand and onto the floor in a clang, as she mouthed, 'I'm sorry'. Oh friggin' God no… She, SHE KILLED HERSELF! Be cause of me! No!!!!! Because of this Gad damn curse of a being a vampire. Damn it all, oh damn it all. I ran to her and let it all out. She knew, why hide it? Pain went through out my body as two black wings sliced my skin and came out. They caved around us and my fangs hurt against my skin as I clenched my teeth from crying. I had not cried since I cried along with Sakura as she cried in grief of her dear mother. Sakura, your mother did love you! You should know that! And so did I! But was that just not enough?!?
I heard thunder roughly kill the silence that was only filled with my sobbing and the ringing of a gun shot. The sound of pounding rain came onto the roof of the church as angels in the heavens cried such a bitter cry. I thouched her cheek and cupped her face ignoring the blood that filled my hand under her chin.
"It's all over now, her life. Such a sad tale, that Sakura had to be involved with the drastic thing of vampirism." Naruto's voice came from behind me. I turned to him.
"Yes, I am a demon." He told me. His own creature fangs showed. I looked at Hinata.
"Neji will not be pleased." Her pale baby blue wings fluttered in worriment of her daring cousin. I hated the man. He was so cruel. I knew Hinata was a vampire from the first time I saw her. And she knew about me too. I looked back at my love. It was so chilling, to see her not full of life, as I always knew her to be.
"No, he will not. And nether am I." I was the reason she hurt and died. I was the reason that she had to pull the gun's silver trigger. And I would have to live with that fact for the rest of my life. My very long life.
OoOoOoOoOoO
I had so many nightmares from then, I tried not to go to sleep at night. The town heard the news, and us three fled. And I wouldn't see the that church for such a long time.
But something interesting happened tonight. I just awoke from a dream, not a nightmare, but a dream.
The shape of a man had appeared and told me that Sakura would be recreated. Finally, I think I can go to sleep for once, and not be scared to do so. All I need to do is wait about 150 years. Fun.
