The bird's cries reverberated through the canopy of the thick forest as a kunai wrung metallically on a silver long sword, the two opponents jumped away from each other.
The pinkette hissed in anger, "HOW COULD YOU!?" She cried in anger and pain.
The male kept his emotions beneath his trade mark smirk, she growled frustrated "YOU STUPID EMO ASS! YOU KILLED THEM AND ALL YOU CAN DO IS SMIRK!" she screamed as she lunged at an opening.
He blocked and parried with three awkward down blows, "tch you're annoying". He said offhandedly.
She looked at him her eyes a dangerous flat jade. "SASUKE! YOU NEVER THINK, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, YOU KILLED HIM, YOU KILLED NARUTO". A sob escaped her frame.
"They had kids" she whispered brokenly, "they were a family AND YOU CAME AND FUCKED IT UP". She darted at him faster than before.
Sasuke stared at the empty place where she had been a moment ago, the dobe had kids?!
Sakura appeared behind him and dropped her kunai; Sasuke turned quickly and swung his sword around slicing into Sakura's side.
Blood poured from her wound and she fell to the ground. Sasuke stood in shock at what he'd done and horrified with himself, he dropped his sword and fell to his knees.
"SAKURA" he screamed, he couldn't let her die when she didn't know how much she meant to him.
"Sasuke" she smiled up at him wearily as she coughed up more blood, "take…this…for you" she managed to say between mouthfuls of blood spurting from her mouth as she gave him a bloodstained envelope.
Her heart beat becoming infrequent and her breathing shallow she looked at the boy who had stolen her heart and offered him a smile.
"I love…you" she whispered as her head fell back towards the sky, her eyes remained open a clouded jade. Sasuke sobbed into her frame, he had killed her.
She had left thinking he didn't love her, but he did, more than the sun, the moon and the stars put together.
He opened the envelope with shaky fingers and unfolded the piece of paper, a picture tumbled from it… team seven… five years prior. They looked like a family, a happy family.
His eyes scanned the letter.
Sasuke,
I love you more than anything and hope one day you'll find out just how much I love you, I hate you more than anything now as well, I hate that I care and I hate your stupid smirk because it makes my heart do summersaults, I need you like I need air and I hope you find someone less helpless than me.
Love always,
Sakura
Sasuke crumpled the letter to his chest and curled in pain, what was this aching feeling in his heart and this squeezing feeling in the back of his throat.
The sun still shone and he could feel the sun rays on his back. He hugged Sakura to his chest and continually apologized quietly into her hair.
Sasuke placed Sakura's corpse on the ground and kissed her lips ferociously, he gripped his sword that was laced with his love's blood and positioned it beneath his rib cage, and Sasuke sobbed once more.
He rammed the long sword into his stomach and coughed up blood, he pulled out the weapon from himself and crawled towards Sakura, he lay beside her and held her hand as tight as he could as he waited for death to pay him an eternal visit.
