As she lies there dying, I can't help but feel this tight clench in my chest. Did I make the right decision? Of course not, I've realized now that have made a terrible decision. How could I have stabbed her knowing full well that I have some kind of weird connection to her? She is like the heart to this retched body of mine, without her I too will die, but, knowing this fact, I still drove my katana through her chest. Why did I do it? Was it to prove something? At this point I'm not too sure but what I am sure about is that I made a terrible mistake, one that I will have to live with for the rest of my life.
I feel something warm and wet roll down my cheek. Is it raining? Of course it's not, I conclude, as I looked to the sky and saw that it was free of any rain clouds. I must be crying then, I never thought I would shed tears again but it just feels so right to cry now, after all, the person that I've ever felt anything for, besides my brother, is about to die and it's all my fault.
"It's ok, Sasuke-kun," I faintly hear her voice say, blood trailing from the corners of her lips to her ears as she tried her best to smile, as if trying to comfort me. This just makes a sob escape my lips. Why is she trying to comfort me? She is suppose to hate me, despise my very existence, but here she is, comforting me. Another sob escapes, and another and then another, then, before you knew it, I was flat out bawling.
"Don't cry, Sasuke-kun," She says, weakly bringing her hand towards my cheek to wipe away my tears. The feel of her fingers against my cheek stopped my bawling right in their tracks, her fingers were so cold.
"Sasuke-kun?... Sasuke-kun? " She says over and over again, her voice getting weaker each time, but I just kneel beside her, frozen. She is dying, she's dying and it's my fault. My fault...
"I'm sorry," I say, as if that's going to change anything. She smiles in response. I don't deserve that smile but I accept it and return it with a sad one of my own.
"I... I love... you... Sasuke," She says and I watch as the remaining life drains from her eyes, a smile still on her beautiful face.
"I love you too... Sakura," I say as I plant a kiss on her lifeless lips, allowing one more tear to escape my eye.
"Goodbye," I say as I stood and walked away, walked away from my one true love...
THE END
