Memories: Chapter 1 A Visitor In The Dark
SAKURA POV
I was imagining him again. Imagining that Sasuke was sitting underneath the tree, as cute as ever. I sighed. If only he was real.
"Hey, Sakura! You wanna go ge- Are you daydreaming about Sasuke again?" I heard Naruto's voice say as he looked over my shoulder. I came back from my trance and, I noticed that I was sketching Sasuke's face in the book that I was reading.
"Oh, uh, yeah." I said as I started erasing what I had drawn.
"Aw, too bad. It was good," Kakashi's voice said from above, "It really did look like Sasuke." Kakashi jumped out of the tree.
"Yeah. It could have been better than Sai's." Naruto said. Kakashi and I laughed at his statement.
"What?" Naruto had asked
. . .
I couldn't help but remember this, as he said to me with his pale lips, "Hello, Sakura. Long time, no see."
"Sasuke." I whispered his name slowly. If this wasn't him, it was a cruel joke. I hadn't seen him for three years and, there he was, standing by my bed on the eve of my 19 birthday. I couldn't say anything; all I could do was stare at him, just to see if he would vanish in the next two seconds or not.
"Happy birthday." He smiled at me as he handed me a present. I slowly sat up, not removing my eyes from his face.
"Sakura, what's wrong?"
"Are you really here, Sasuke?" I started touching his face trying to prove if he was my imagination or real.
"Yes, Sakura, I am. Now, will you stop poking my face?" Sasuke said, annoyed.
"Wh-why?" was all I could muster out after I stopped playing with his face.
"Why I told you to stop playing with my face?" He asked. I shook my head.
"Nuh-uh. Why are you here?" I managed to choke out.
"Oh, uh, well – You should probably go back to sleep. I won't go anywhere."
"O-okay." I layed back down and, ten minutes later, I felt a soft peck on my cheek.
