Sasusaku – HURT
Sakura lay in bed, the cool night air blowing through her window as she stared outside at the full moon. She breathed a sigh, sasuke... a sharp pain struck through her heart at the thought of her black haired love. A few tears escaped, no matter how hard I try, you always end up in my mind. Sakura sat up and climbed out of bed, she walked past the team 7 pictures on her dresser and into her bathroom. She started a warm shower, striped down and stepped inside. She stood still as the water fell onto her body, drenching her hair, and relaxing her tense muscles. Sakura soon grew tired of standing and went down into a ball at the bottom of the tub.
Sakura finally stepped out once the water grew cold and uncomfortable. She hardly jumped at the sound of her alarm clock; she had stayed up all night, sasuke haunting her mind. Sakura shut of the blaring contraption and quickly dressed and got ready for her day.
"Hey sakura!" sakura turned her emotion-less gaze to Ino, which she quickly hid behind a fake smile. "Hey Ino, what's up?" Ino stepped in front of her, "nothing really, I just got a break from the flower shop wanna catch some lunch?" sakura shook her head "um, not today, Kay? I'm busy with a few medical things." Ino's expression turned saddened "sakura… he's not coming back, don't push others away because of him." Sakura sighed, her fake cheeriness beginning to diminish "I-I'm not Ino really." Ino grinned "great then you wouldn't mind going to lunch!" a sad smile came upon sakura's lips when Ino wasn't looking, her friends always tried so hard to keep her from drifting into sadness…
"Bye, sakura! Come by the flower shop, Kay? We can totally hang out tomorrow!" sakura smiled as she waved off to her best friend and headed home. The sun was just setting and the air was growing cold, sakura picked up her pace. "Hey sakura-Chan." Sakura turned to Naruto who walked up beside her casually. "Hey Naruto." Naruto smiled "I was just wondering if you wanted to go out for ramen tonight." Instead of her usual response of "only if your paying." Sakura shook her head "not tonight Naruto, I-I'm Kinda tired." Naruto frowned a little as she hurried away.
Sasuke's POV
I stepped inside the hideout casually, returning from a mission with my team. Karin walked up beside me "hey sasuke-kun, tonight's a rain storm." I glanced at her then looked forward "and?" Karin pouted "aaand, I'm going to be scared. Would you sleep with me to night?" I inwardly groaned at her flirtatious wink and tone. I answered her with a quick and cold "No." then walked off to my room, leaving Karin and suigetsu to argue amongst themselves. "sasuke." I turned to kabuto "what is it?" "Orochimaru wants to see you." I quickly walked past kabuto, the faster I got there, the quicker I could leave, and I wasn't in the mood for wasting time.
"Come in sasuke." I walked in to see orochimaru on his bed with bandages covering his for arms, a sight I've seen many times. "Sasuke I have a mission for you, one you must do alone." I kept my emotion-less expression as orochimaru continued. "We need a medical ninja. Karin or kabuto aren't to the best of their abilities for my arms and we also need someone to help you on the battle field for quick healing." I nodded, quickly catching on "who do you want me to capture?" Orochimaru chuckled darkly "always to the point, eh, sasuke?" my expression turned expectant. "I need you to capture tsunade's prodigy, she's almost as good as her both in strength and healing." I turned thought-full, remembering tsunade's brute strength and skilled healing abilities. "I name would help." Orochimaru smirked "sakura haruno." Shock crossed my features and turned into a glare "what?"
I walked out of orochimaru's room, my mind on sakura, is what he say's true? Sakura's actually tsunade's prodigy? I shook off the thought, why should I care? She's nothing to me now, just a mission…..but still… "Oh sasuke….." my attention shifted to my room, my door was open to a clear view of my bed. My glare was set on the person on my bed. "Get out Karin." Se sputtered as I walked in "b-but sasuke I-" "Get out. now." Karin crossed her arms in a pout then caught my cold glare and left as quickly as she came. I shut my door and climbed into bed. I shut my eyes and drifted to sleep slowly, sakura crossing my mind for only a split second before I shut her out once again.
