A/N: This is just a random thing I had in mind and I need to get this off before I forget it. This is adapted from the poem "The Sick Rose" by William Blake.
Summary: He just has to do it so he won't come back. A romance (sorta) and tragedy.
Disclaimer: I'm just thirteen with no job and that means that I don't own Naruto nor The Sick Rose.
O Rose, thou art sick.
Sakura was sleeping. Her figure being wrapped by her mint green blanket. Hugging the pillow beside her like it was him. The person who left the village years ago. That made her life a misery but made her stronger. That person, Sasuke Uchiha, broke her heart. He just rejected her feelings and he left her in a cold, stone bench.
She was dreaming. It wasn't a nightmare but a dream she longed to have. Sasuke being back in the village, would be with her all the time and finally, marry her. She was still in love with him even though she has feelings for Naruto. But, both of them rejected her.
The invisible worm that flies in the night
In the howling storm
A figure was flying through the midnight sky in Konoha. His mind only focusing on one thing. Looking for the house of his beloved flower. The girl with pink tresses and orbs the color of a meadow. The smile that gives the light and the kindness that gives love. He wanted to find her for only one purpose… to kill her.
Has found thy bed of crimson joy
At last, he has found her. He silently opened the window of her room. He slid the katana and prepared to stab her when suddenly,
"Sasuke-kun," she mumbled his name.
His eyes widened. Of all these years, she still has cared for him? Even though he rejected her out of the feelings she poured with all her heart, she still thinks of him? But even so these questions ran across his mind, he did not care the tears that were flowing out from his eyes. He let out a soft sob and kneeled on the floor with his palm covering his teary eyes. This alarmed the sleeping maiden. "Who's there?!" she hissed but never did she know that it was an unexpected "visitor" that came.
Of his dark secret love
"Sasuke-kun," she called out to him. Her eyes began to water for she can't stand seeing Sasuke crying and for the fact that he was back again.
He lifted his head as he heard his name. He noticed that she was about to cry. He stood and held out a hand to her face and gently caressed it.
"You came back." She said between her sob. "Sasuke-kun, I love you." His heart fluttered.
They looked into each others eyes and leaned closer and closer until their lips met. The kiss was quick but soft. Both of them felt something that they haven't felt before. Kind of like heaven with a dash of something sweet. He then leaned into her ear and whispered, "I'm sorry, Sakura".
"Do it." It was her unexpected reply.
Does thy life destroy.
He saw a smile plastered in her face. He slid off his katana again and stabbed her. She grunted and cried but still there was that smile. She fell in the bed with a pool of blood beneath her and finally, closed her eyes. He kissed her forehead and whispered, "I love you, Sakura.". After that, he flew into the midnight sky with tears in his eyes.
