Prologue

I never knew there was a heaven. I never knew I would end up in heaven, this young. And I didn't even get to say goodbye. Didn't say goodbye to my family, friends… the world. And yet, up here I watch them, unable to tell them I still love them, unable to say goodbye, unable to speak to them.

I was walking home, that day had been particularly colder than usual. Rain clouds above my head roared loudly and I covered my head with my school books. I walked quickly, abruptly thinking of Sasuke's handsome face. His pale face, dark eyes that seemed intimidating, tousled black hair, he was so intriguing. I glanced up at the sky as I felt a wet drop touch my nose; I shivered, feeling the chilly wind caress the end of my nose where it was wet. The shock of the chill triggered my reflex to touch my nose and my books fell in the puddle beneath me earlier on from the light rain.

I sighed at myself and bent down to pick them up, grumbling to myself. I heard footsteps approach me and I smiled, thinking to myself that it would be Sasuke, arriving early to drop me off.

I looked at up a familiar face that had greeted me. Itachi Uchiha. I wasn't very close to Sasuke's brother, but instinctively, I was polite.

"Good afternoon, Itachi Sama!" I bowed to him, feeling my nerves taking over me.

"Afternoon, Sakura. I trust you had a good day?" The corner of his mouth pulled up a little to reveal his canine teeth. I nodded my head, feeling a little flattered.

"Why don't we take a walk? I have a little favor of you to ask." His voice rung in my ears like soft chimes and I followed instantly. I was in no rush anyway to get home. I walked beside him, feeling a little bit awkward with the silence between us; he turned a few streets and finally came to a long stretch of road that was oddly deserted.

He suddenly paused in his steps and I looked at him, we were standing on the moist grass covered by shrubs and trees. We were surrounded.

"I've always like you, Sakura." I blinked at him, even more confused.

"Huh…?"

"Are you a virgin?" I was taken aback, why was he asking these questions? The word suddenly triggered a memory of Sasuke on top of me; his quick, gruff pants on my face were hot. His bed smelt of fresh laundry.


"N-no, I think I have to go now…" I trailed off, looking towards where we had come from. I took a sidestep away from him and Itachi quickly stepped in front of me, blocking me. I quickly looked around, the shrubs and trees were too thick to get through.

"Wait, stay." I trailed my arm with his cold finger tips, raising goose bumps all over. His hand suddenly grasped on my arm and he pulled me closer, he was crushing my bones in his hand! I suddenly brought up my other hand and flung it towards him. He twisted me around abruptly and pulled me in his tight embrace that felt like an anaconda's.

I cringed as I felt Itachi's lips pressed hard against mine, his tongue parted my lips and I felt his hot breath inside of me. I squealed and pushed away from him; Itachi pulled me back and pressed me to the ground, ripping off my shirt and pants.

Sasuke, what would Sasuke think of me? Sweet Sasuke… lovely Sasuke, my love. I felt a surge of pleasure rush inside of me as I felt Itachi enter; I shrieked even more and was suddenly gagged with my shirt. The chilly wind caressed me tighter and stronger, I didn't want this. I couldn't do this.

Itachi pulled away from me and I knew it was the end as soon as I felt nothing after he punched me out.
