the whole "precious person thing has to do with something that Haku told Naruto about.
Wind
He's flawless. His soft warm lips. The way he'd hold his "precious person" while kissing them. His smooth pale crème colored skin that I'd love so much to touch. The comforting arms which had embraced my tears. The dark crystal like eyes that hold so many painful memories, so much anguish. I wish I could take that away from him… but I can't.
I know he cries at night. I hear him, softly moaning, silver tear drops falling from his eyes. It hurts me so much, knowing his pain. I'd give anything to make him smile sincerely.
Tonight is the same situation. I hear his whimpers from the other side of the tree. Today we started a rank C mission. One of the scariest moments of my life happened. We were fighting an S class Ninja and, he turned out to be Sasuke's brother. This was the person that Sasuke vowed to kill before his death. He was much stronger than Sasuke and defeated him easily. Then… I don't know how to explain it but, Sasuke's body was doused in a purple flame. Black marks appeared all over his body. It was the curse that a strange snake guy gave him in Death Forest. I felt Sasuke's soul change. I thought he'd gone forever…
Naruto is talking in his sleep… again. Kakashi--I don't know where he is. Probably reading Ichaicha Paradise somewhere, but it doesn't matter anyway. I don't sense his presence.
-3 days ago-
I remember waking up with a very good looking black haired person sitting next to me. Sasuke. I must've gotten knocked out. I looked into his dark eyes for a few minutes when I realized what had happened. He wasn't moving. My head was spinning, all of the memories of the battle floated back to me. He'd saved me, and sacrificed himself. Before I knew it, I was holding him close to me, his icy skin, the dried blood that covered him.
"SASUKE-KUN!!" I yelled out in agony.
I think I may have passed out because I woke up in a dark room. I saw a silhouetted figure stood in front of the window. Where was I? What happened? Then the memories, the pain, the deaths, snuck into my head. I must've cried out because the figure came and sat next to me. It was Sasuke. He was looking the other direction but I knew he wanted to say something. I noticed all of the bandages on him.
"Daijoubu?" I asked very softly. I wiped my eyes with the back of my hands. "Sasuke-kun." I whispered.
"Hai, you were crying in your sleep." he replied. I squeezed my eyes shut. I knew that his wounds were because of me.
I opened my eyes slowly to see Sasuke looking at me. He looked so beautiful in the moonlight. I gazed into his eyes… mesmerized. They were deep, enchanting, filled with pain. "Annou…" My voice trailed off.
He looked away again. His face was filled with a pained expression.
I looked down at the dark floor. "Gomen."
It was an awkward moment. Neither of us said anything for a few minutes. Finally I broke it. "Sasuke, where am I? I just can't really remember much."
He blushed slightly for a moment. "Your in… my apartment. You collapsed at the bridge."
"Arigatou…for letting me stay here." (Inner Sakura) I'M IN HIS HOUSE!! OH MY GOD!!
"Douitoshimashite." He spoke softly.
I shut my eyes again, but this time more relaxed. I wasn't shutting them in pain. I was just… exhausted. I let myself collapse onto the soft bed. Wait… was I in his bed?! My eyes shot back open to see that Sasuke had gone. I went up into the door and peered in the next room. He was settling onto a couch. I felt guilty for taking his bed. I turned to go back into the bedroom but then I heard it. It was the first time I'd heard him cry. They were subdued whimpers. It seemed as though he were ashamed to cry. I wanted to go in there and wrap my arms around him so badly.
I awoke the next morning to voices in the other room. Groggily I pulled my self together and got dressed. I walked out to see Sasuke, Naruto and Kakashi.
(Inner Sakura) Heh heh, I'm in Sasuke-kun's apartment. Hell Yeah!
Naruto must've known what I was thinking because he pouted. "Sakura-chan didn't get all excited when she came to my apartment."
The leader whacked the blonde kid with a book he was holding. (Inner Sakura) IchaIcha Paradise!! I gotta get a hold of that sometime…
Naruto erupted. "WHY ARE YOU HITTING ME WITH YOUR STUPID HENTAI BOOK?!?! YOUR HITTING THE ICHIBAM GENIN!! Stupid albino."
Kakashi hit Naruto again. "Urusai."
"Ichiban Genin? Yeah right…" Sasuke snorted. I couldn't help but laugh too. XD
I had spent the night in Sasuke's apartment!! Waahh and in his bed!! I was so happy!
-Present-
His muffled sobs quieted a little, but didn't stop. I started crying a little too. Why…why did I have to fall in love with him?! I never wanted to…
I wiped my tears with my sleeve. I couldn't let him cry, so alone, so helpless… Sasuke although he was cold, arrogant and stubborn, there were good sides to him too. Like, how he'd protect me and Naruto even if it meant risking his own life. I know he really does care about our Team 7, he just doesn't show it.
I stood up slowly, moving my hands up the tree for support. It was really dark out and I couldn't see much. I walked over to him. I knew I was near him I could sense his Chakra. He didn't hear me. The moon peeked out of the clouds for a brief moment. I sat down next to him. Immediately he tried to hide his tears.
"No… Sasuke it's ok. Everyone cries sometimes. We all have reasons." I tried comforting him.
He looked away, ashamed for crying. "Have I been keeping you awake?"
"No of course not. I heard you and… I… I wanted to see if I could help you. I don't like seeing you crying." Yeah it was corny and lame but true. The words just… spilled out of my mouth. Hell no!
He turned to me, his expression softened a little. He became less defensive. Then he looked back the other way. "Why?" he whispered softly.
"I…" I couldn't tell him. I loved him and he knew it, but why was it so hard to say?!. I stared at my feet. "Because… I'm part of your team." It was partially true.
"Oh." he mumbled.
"Do you want to go see the fireflies? There's a pretty stream not far from her. Maybe it will help get your mind off things."
He waited a moment before answering and sighed. "No."
"Ok." I was disappointed. "Well I'm going to get some water anyway so if you want to come it's in that direction." I pointed.
I got up again. Slowly I walked in the direction I had pointed in. I felt heart broken. I knew Sasuke hadn't hurt me or anything… but… maybe it was more like an emptiness. I'd fallen so in love with him. After about 10 minutes I reached the stream. It was beautiful. Little glowing balls of energy were bobbing up and down everywhere. Cicadas were chirping peacefully. The water was flowing so smoothly it looked like deep blue silk.
I started crying again. I was in love with him. This is exactly what I didn't want to happen. I wished so badly to be in his arms right now. Irrationally I thought about how I'd have given anything to share my life was him. That wasn't going to happen. I cried a little harder. My thoughts were so mixed up. I couldn't concentrate on anything. All I could think of was Sasuke… and his night sky colored eyes.
I sighed and closed my eyes. I saw his face. I may have fallen asleep for a brief moment. No, it was more like a serious daydream. I was startled by a pair of arms, gently holding my waste. I didn't have to turn around to know who it was.
"I…" his voice trailed off and faded with a gentle breeze.
"S-Sasuke." I whispered.
"It's peaceful here isn't it? You were right, it is beautiful." He kissed the back of my neck softly, and whispered something else that I couldn't understand. I blushed. Why was Sasuke doing this? It was so unlike him!
I turned to him. I wanted him, I needed him. "Sasuke, I love you." I tried to turn away, afraid of what his reaction would be. I can't believe I told him. He grabbed my arm delicately, put his hand up against my cheek and kissed me. I could never tell you how surprised, confused, happy, and wonderful I felt.
Sasuke blushed a deep red, and pulled away slowly. I didn't want him to stop. I wanted to stay with him forever. We fell back on t o the dark emerald grass. It was soft, comforting. We kissed again, this time longer. Time was endless like the stars.
That night I fell asleep in his arms on the blanket of grass. Being with him made me feel so peaceful. Until I woke up with Naruto standing over us.
"Heh heh heh" Naruto was snickering. "Looks like they were acting Ichaicha Paradise!!" Both Sasuke and I blushed.
Sasuke stood up, still blushing. "Baka ga Naruto." He walked away into the woods.
"Shimatta!" Naruto had found us and now I was going to have to deal with him for the rest of the week.
I walked through the woods quietly. I sensed Sasuke's Chakra, but I didn't see him anywhere. "Kuso, he probably hates me now after that. Then I realized something I hadn't known the night before because I was so tangled up in what I wished to be true. The Sasuke's Chakra I felt now was much different than the Sasuke I had last night by the stream. I looked up to see him sitting on a branch. I climbed up to join him.
"Oi Sasuke!" I sat on a branch a few feet away from him.
"Hm?" He didn't even look at me. His eyes seem to be fixed on something in the distance.
"Annou… I know this sounds weird but, what were you doing last night? Do you remember me asking you about the stream?" I was nervous and felt stupid but it was worth a shot.
It took him a moment to reply. "There's another Ninja out there. I sense his Chakra." I thought either he didn't hear my question or he didn't want to. But then he said something else. "Yes, I remember you asking me to go watch the fireflies. And last night I slept is that now illegal or something?"
"Uhh gomen ne. It's just that… last night, I…" I didn't know how to say it. Someone must have used a replication jutsu to appear as Sasuke. But who?
"There's strange Chakra over there." Sasuke pointed towards the stream where I'd slept with and imposter version of him. "Did you see anyone last night when you were there? I felt it then too."
"Actually I did. And it may sound weird but…" I swallowed hard. "Last night, I saw, you. That's why I asked you where you were." I hung my head. "I'm sorry I should have noticed the different Chakra, but I was so wrapped up and was thinking about things."
"Hm, that's so unlike you Sakura. You seem to be the first to notice different types of Chakra and Genjutsu. What were you thinking about?" he seemed concerned but preoccupied at the same time.
I blushed deeply. "A-annou…" I didn't know what to say, so I lied. "I was just remembering the battle where you where fighting and the curse took over you. I was just trying to think of any ways that I could help you."
He turned away. Maybe I had said to much. " Anyway we have to find out who it was. They're definitely an enemy."
"What do we do? How do we find them?" I was just trying to get by. If I didn't say anything there'd be another awkward silence.
"Sakura," I was startled by Sasuke's voice. He didn't address me with my name that much. "Where is your family?"
It was such a random question. "Umm, there back at the village. Doshite?"
Sasuke didn't say anything.
"Where's yours?"
"I-my family…" Sasuke clenched his fists and tilted his face so that I could not see it. Then I saw a glint of silver slide of his cheek.
"Sasuke…" I did not hold back this time. I wrapped my arms around him and held him close. Surprisingly he opened up to me and accepted my comfort. He buried his head in my shoulder as I stroked his head gently. I rested my head on his back. "Sasuke." I repeated.
We stayed there for a while. After about an hour we slowly let go of each other. "Do you wanna talk about it ne?" I asked.
He shook his head. "Iie not now."
"Ok, demo if you ever want to then… I'm here." Another corny quote by Hitomi. Kuso. I was probably making him really uncomfortable.
He nodded. "Arigatou."
"We should probably get going now. We need to find that enemy."
