Pain


No more would the Uchiha boy take. All that pain… His family. Dead. His friends. Gone. His master. Gay. How could he live it out anymore? He couldn't. He grabbed a kunai and stabbed his hand and watched blood spew everywhere. He felt nothing. He yanked the kunai out, now blood dipped, and continued stabbing himself until he fell unconscious with lack of blood.

Of course, the Uchiha boy had no clue that his former companions were on a mission to find him. Why would they care? He had left them almost three years ago. The remaining members of Team Seven, Sakura and Naruto, were on this mission. But also joining them was the young Yamanaka girl, Ino.

Ino sensing the teen's existence, led the others to the place where Uchiha was lying.

Sasuke woke up after about an hour. His eyes still remained closed, and he felt pain. But not the ones from his emo behavior. It was a weight toppling his upper legs. He opened his eyes to see it was no one but the small Yamanaka teenager. She had a stream of tears flowing down her face, and her navy blue outfit was covered with blood stains identifying that she had been on top of him for awhile.

Uchiha then looked at his surroundings. He was in a dark forest. Sakura was eyeing him nervously. Naruto looked like he wanted to do what Sasuke had done. Most importantly, a heavy teenage girl was stopping the blood flow to his legs.

"…I-ino…" he managed to say. Her eyes grew wide and sparkled with the tears still in them.

"S-sasuke-kun…" she said, to make sure she wasn't dreaming.

"Please… get off of m-me…" he coughed. She moved herself on the ground and held his hand in hers to her chest. She didn't say anything, but looked like she wanted to. She stared at him, silently burning a hole of worry into his eyes. She never wanted to see him like this.

He read her face. She was scared, sad, and more in love with him than she could say. He wanted to smile up at her, but was afraid it would ruin the moment.

Naruto was the one with the nerve to break the silence. "So you really are emo?" he smiled jokingly. Sasuke smiled at that. Ino's face scowled at the immature blond boy.

"It's okay…" he looked at her. Ino's worried look returned.

"I'm sorry…" she bit her chapped lip, so to hold back her remaining tears. "I should've helped you when you were upset… then none of this would've happened."

She swam into his black eyes, which were like a magnet for her. She leaned in closer to him and slowly, kissed him. Right on the lips. Then she returned to her sitting position and blushed bright pink.

That was when Ino noticed Sakura in the scene. Instead of looking infuriated, she was smiling gracefully, aw-struck by her friend's moment.

Ino was afraid to look at Sasuke's face which could show anger and hatred, but she forgot the hand she held of his. His arm pulled her in for another kiss. She blushed redder than velvet. "Thank you…" he sighed. He never knew that anyone cared for him. He was surprised they even remembered his existence, but the flame was set, and he had another reason for living another day.
