So I saw this list of writing prompts. Forever ago. From a writer named Hypheniated. (I really hope I spelled that right.) So they sat around in my saved folder, til I found this wonderfully depressed mood one night, and also happened to find them. I chose the tenth one, and this is what it says:
'The girl in shining armor/cause chivalry is dead, and princesses can rescue their goddamn selves.'
Not much of a SasukexSakura fan, but I'll give this a try, at my inspirer's suggestion. They just seem to fit this, also. T for now, for language, and... themes maybe? I own nothing.
This is kind of an intro, I guess, that's why its so short.
Begin Chapter One
I'd say the worst pain I ever felt was watching him walk away.
And the worst part about it was, I knew it was my fault. I knew I could have stopped him, I knew there was some way.
But I let him leave.
How could I let him leave?
I guess he's happy now. I mean, I hope so. It's been two years since my Sasuke left. I still call him mine. He was always more mine than anyone else's. I was always the one that would take care of him, I was the one who would be there no matter what. I'm the one who would give anything. Looking back, when we were so young, it was really stupid to fight over him with all the other girls. I mean, he's not an object. He's a man. Who just happens to be mine.
In two years, I'd like to think I've grown. Well, on the inside anyway. I'd like to think I'm stronger. Lots of people say I am. Lady Tsunade says I am. But she doesn't even know all I've been through.
She doesn't know the nightmares I've woken up from screaming, crying, begging for whoever had Sasuke to let him go. I've always been so afraid for him.
She doesn't know all the nights I've spent just sitting in the dark, longing, wishing, hoping, praying, wanting. So badly. Like maybe if I wanted him badly enough, he'd suddenly come back.
She doesn't know that I cried until there were no tears left inside me and then I'd just sit there shaking.
She doesn't know that not all my scars are from other people.
But what she does know is that somewhere along the line, I decided to live for me. Not for Sasuke or anyone else. I decided I was my own person and would only be as strong as I let myself. She knows that I've grown, I've changed. She may not know how or why, but she watched it happen.
Now here I am, the better, stronger, independant Sakura.
No thanks to Sasuke.
Sasuke Uchiha stood outside a certain girl's window. It was late at night, the only time it was safe enough to even think about coming near the village.
'Two years ago, I would have had to have been crazy to be doing this.'
He watched her as she brushed her hair, something so trivial but it seemed significant to him. It was long again. And he knew that that was just one more sign that she didn't give a damn whether he liked her or not.
And that was something that Sasuke Uchiha loved. Being unwanted. It was very weird. Very, very weird, and most guys couldn't understand why the hell he didn't take advantage of all these girls loving him. But, if he had to guess, Sasuke would say it was the way all the girls loved him. Well, they didn't. They didn't love him, they obsessed over him. And that was just weird. Besides, he kinda couldn't help but love the misery of chasing a girl he may not be able to have. It's all in the chase.
This wasn't the first night he'd watched her. Or the second, or the third. Sure, this watching thing could be taken the wrong way, but he knew his intentions. He wasn't stalking her or anything, he just needed to make sure that she was okay, and that she was still Sakura. Which she was, but... he couldn't explain it... better. Like she had never been fully herself when he'd known her, and now she was more pure. Not innocent pure, but knowing who you are, being only you. She was purely Sakura Haruno.
Which was something else he loved. A girl that was her own before she was his. Oh, she would be his. There was no doubt in his mind she would be his.
End Chapter One
This is probably just gonna be a three-chapter thing. The other chapters will almost undoubtebly be longer, but I don't want it to last more than three chapters. Happy ending for Sasuke? Or tragic? I can't decide!! What do you think!? I can't continue til I know what you awesome fanfiction kids want!! Please review and tell me, happily ever after or tragedy for our Uchiha?
