Unrequited Love

My eyes trailed across the beautiful rows of cars before they rested upon an old bike. I used to have a little car but I sold it because I needed money. I gave a short sigh after I hopped onto the bike. I rode off to the place that I visited every morning.
When I reached the hospital I chained my bike to the rails. I made my way to room 101 and stopped to close my eyes. I opened the door slowly and prayed that Sasuke would be sitting there to greet me. I tried to smile but it soon faded as I saw Sasuke sleeping quietly.
"Hey, when will you wake up?" I asked sadly and added, "You said you would take care of me…"
I wished he could show me a small sign of movement but he never did. I gazed at him for a few more minutes before my hands trailed to the ring he had given me. I shifted my head closer to his ears and whispered, "You promised to marry me."
I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before standing up. I looked at my watch and decided to head back to the hotel for breakfast. On my way back I was riding happily before a silver Ferrari beeped me.
"Stop blocking the road you moron!" yelled Naruto paranoid that he had to slow down because of the biker.
I rode further to my left so that the car could pass me before I cursed the driver. Naruto looked at his rear window and realised the biker was a pink haired girl. He couldn't see her face because her cap was covering it but he guessed she was an ugly girl.
I was really exhausted when I got back but managed to slip on my uniform. I went down to the hotel's restaurant and grabbed a plate of bacon and eggs. I sat near my colleagues and began nibbling on my bacon. I was drinking my orange juice before I nearly choked to see the same blond haired man that beeped me.
It must be my bad luck that he happened to choose this hotel to stay at. I studied his features and discovered that he was pretty good looking. His next move disappointed me as he walked up to a pretty girl. I could tell he was a player from the way he chatted up the girl.
I rushed to eat my breakfast as I realised that work would start in five minutes. I went up to the storeroom and grabbed a trolley. You might have guessed it now I am a room cleaner. My qualifications weren't very high so I'm glad to even have this job.
I take one look at the messy room and sighed…

Naruto was the illegitimate son of Yondaime Uzamaki who owned many hotels across Japan. He was to become the manager of the hotel that Sakura worked for. He had just finished school in Canada and will be taught how to manage a hotel.
The handsome twenty-two year old had taken his first day off to look around the hotel. He was impressed at both the internal and external appearance of the hotel but that was expected from a five star hotel.
His room was big and luxurious with a queen-sized bed. He also had a large balcony with a great ocean view. The sofas in his lounge were soft and expensive matched with a beautiful glass table. He also had a projectile DVD player to watch movies on the big beige coloured wall.
He opened his fridge and realised there was neither beers nor drinks. 'What kind of service is this?' he thought before charging out the door. He was grunting in the corridor before he spotted a cleaner. He gazed at the back of a pink haired cleaner while recollecting a flashback from the morning
'Interesting, could she be the same girl that rode the bike this morning?' he thought and wondered, 'Let's see how ugly you are…'
"You there!" yelled Naruto.
Sakura turned her head slightly to see who was shouting and realised it was the same man as from the morning. 'He probably wants to harass me or hit on me,' she thought. She was so confused that she decided to run. Her heart began to beat faster as she heard his footsteps from behind.
Naruto couldn't see Sakura's face clearly because she was too far away. He wanted to see her appearance so much that he ran after her. Luckily Sakura was wearing healed shoes as a part of her uniform so Naruto caught up easily.
Naruto caught her left hand roughly and spun her to his chest. His dreamy sea-blue eyes gazed into the pools of emerald green. His image of the pink haired girl was utterly wrong because standing before his eyes was truly a babe.
Naruto looked at her rosy coloured lips before forcing his lips to hers. When Sakura saw his lips approaching she tried to squirm out of his hold. His lips had missed her by a thin margin but he decided to try again. Sakura shoved Naruto away with all her weight and finally he let go.
"If you harass me again I will report you!" yelled Sakura and added, "Look, I'm married ok so please keep your distance away from me!" She raised her hand with the ring to prove it.

Ino walked into room 101 to check on the coma patient. She was a transferred nurse because a doctor from her previous hospital continued to harass her. She walked into the room and was surprised to see Sasuke.
She checked the name on the clipboard and indeed it was he. She had admired him since she was little and soon grew to love him. But she began to distance herself away from him when Sakura came into the picture.
The way he treated Sakura broke her heart so she decided to move elsewhere. She took a three-year nursing course and built her new life in Osaka. It was only a year ago that she heard Sasuke was going to marry Sakura. Her hope had truly died when Sasuke invited her to his wedding.
She decided not to attend to their wedding because she couldn't bare the pain. From then on she had lost contact with Sasuke. She believed Sasuke was probably so happy with Sakura that he had forgotten all about her.
Ino wondered how long Sasuke had been in his coma. 'Must be pretty long,' she thought as she decided to brush his past shoulder length hair. Ino stared at Sasuke's beautiful face and remembered the times when they were young.
"Sasuke, remember how we used to play tips in the park? It was fun and I'll never forget how we used to talk forever on the swings," said Ino softly.
Ino was so occupied from brushing his hair with her right hand that she did not realise something was tugging her left. Suddenly Sasuke's navy blue eyes opened and that shocked the daylights out of Ino.
"Whoa!! Don't scare me like that!" cried Ino as she turned to go and find a doctor.
Sasuke grabbed her hand and whispered, "Don't leave me." He flung her to his chest so that he could cuddle her. Ino decided to stay in his warm embrace and she was so overwhelmed with joy that she began to cry.
"Don't cry Ino, I will protect you," said Sasuke.
They were the same words that he had said to her when they were young.

When it was five p.m. Sakura had finally finished her shift for the day. She went back to her room and decided to check for phone messages. She pressed a button to hear the messages.
# Beep. Sakura this is Ten ten! Do you want to go shopping tomorrow? I heard there's a big sale going on at Otaku's Shopping Centre! #
# Beep. Hi this is your buddy Shika. I was just wondering if you could clean up my house, it's kinda messy… I'll pay you. #
# Beep. This is the Shukaku Hospital and we would like to inform you that your fiancée has woken from his coma. Please drop by to see him when you are free. #
As soon as Sakura heard that message she ran to get her bike. She was running so fast that she did not see the approaching Ferrari. Bright lights shone at her pale face but luckily Naruto had stopped in time.
"Watch where you're going you mor- Hey what's the rush?" asked Naruto.
Sakura hopped into his car and demanded, "Can you drive me to Shukaku hospital?"
"Ah, sure!" answered Naruto.
Sakura was running to room 101 while Naruto was panting behind to catch up. Sakura was outside the door before she closed her eyes as usual. She opened the door slowly and her heart felt like it stopped beating. Right in front of her was Sasuke looking at the window.
"Sasuke, you've finally woken!" cried Sakura as she raced to hug him.
Sasuke didn't move his arms to hold her instead he said coldly, "Who are you?"
Meanwhile Naruto was witnessing this from the door…
