Dismissed
The first time Sasuke saw her, she was curled up, dirty and cold,
in a cell, in Kohanagure.
He dismissed as another prisoner for
him to take care of.
The second time Sasuke saw her, she was standing in the rain,
letting it wash over her black hair. Dirt from the cell clung to her,
but was quickly washed away by the rain. Once again he dismissed her.
The third time Sasuke saw her, she was back in her cell a
small photograph was clutched firmly in her grasp,
even though she was asleep. Her pale face was wet with tears.
Yet again he dismissed her as a prisoner.
The fourth time Sasuke saw her, she was covered in blood.
She was sobbing quietly as Sakura healed long tears on her
pale skin. He tried to dismiss her, but the image of her
crying and dirty was burned in his mind.
The fifth time Sasuke saw her, she was cowering in the hallway
two ANBU beating her. When there had finished, he carried her
back to her cell.
Once again he attempted to dismiss her.
But he could not deny the fact that her skin had felt undeniably soft against his.
The sixth time Sasuke her, was when Tsunade informed him
that she was now a civilian and was to live with. She seemed
afraid but tried to hide it.
Still he continued to dismiss her.
The seventh time Sasuke saw her, she was curled up on his couch.
He pulled out a blanket and covered her with it. That was when he
noticed she never talked.
He simply dismissed this too.
The eighth time Sasuke saw her, she was playing 'hide and seek'
with him. Her back was pressed against a tree as she tried
desperately not to be found, but he still did.
He dismissed her behaviour once again.
The ninth time Sasuke saw her, she was sitting in the sunshine,
reading a book of poems, and the wind was blowing gently
causing her hair to flick about. This too he dismissed but he
did not deny the face that she smelled oddly like roses.
The tenth time Sasuke saw her she was sitting at Ichirakus,
eating ramen with Naruto. She was smiling and laughing when
Sakura hit Naruto for the umpteenth time. Still he dismissed
her and still did not deny that she was rather pretty when she laughed.
The eleventh time Sasuke saw her, she was sitting at a
campfire on their mission to Iwa. Her eyes were nearly
closed as she drifted off to sleep. He felt himself tense as
Kakashi picked her up. He quickly dismissed her
along with these feelings.
The twelfth time Sasuke saw her, she was lying in a pool
of her own blood. He fell to his Knees.
"Why… Why did you save me?" he asked distraught
"Because… I love you" she croaked in reply.
He knelt down and kissed her when he pulled away, she
was dead. He dismissed her words, she couldn't love him.
Could she?
The thirteenth time Sasuke saw her was as she was being
lowered into her grave and covered with dirt. No longer
could he dismiss her and these feeling.
He loved her but never got to tell her.
Her gravestone read:
Shizuka
The girl who loved.
But was never told
She was.
