THANKS GOES TO AnimEvivvErz, B4by K4k4Sh1, Jelly-Bean89, IHearVoices, Ayane Selznick, mad-kller-bunnies-alert, L0vEnEkO and MANY OTHERS! Man, I wouldn't be this far without you guys!
MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!
Note: I got inspired by a Korean MTV I saw... You've probably seen it too... It was with a photographer and a girl, and the girl loses her sight in an accident so the guy gives her his own... yeah.. Anyway, I feel like I need to start another NejiSaku fic soon!
Diamond Vision
One
Delicate hands gripped tightly onto his own, attempting to bring it back from the frozen cold.
Futile. Useless.
Was her warmth not enough to pull him back from the Underworld?
Was she not strong enough to defend him from Death?
Her emerald orbs brimmed with tears almost immediately then. His mummified figure became merely white blurs blending into the white hospital mattress and the stucco walls.
" Sasuke-kun..." She cried in a broken voice, her vocal chords projecting no more than a barely audible whisper.
How did this ever happen?
Six broken ribs, a fractured arm, and a sprained ankle, her teacher, Tsunade, had told her.
That was not all.
She knew that all those broken bones would mend easily under the jutsu of a medical nin.
She was the one assigned to heal him, to take away all his wounds for him to be better in no time.
But there was one injury she could not heal, a change that she had no power to undo.
Turning her head, the female turned her attention towards where the pair of onyx eyes that she loved drowning herself in would be.
Instead, she was greeted by a strip of cloth that ran cleanly across those structures, and around his head in several loops.
... And... His sight is no longer available to him... for the rest of his life.
He could no longer see...
Sharingan... What about his Sharingan?
Bitter tears choked her to no end as she overwhelmed herself with the shocking realization.
What about his Sharingan?
It was his bloodline technique, it was his special ability...
" I live only to kill that man..."
It was a vital tool that he must use to avenge his clan...
The Uchiha would be as good as dead if he finds out that he didn't have access to it any more.
Drip.
A drop of crystal dew-like moisture fell from its initial spot at the corner of her right eye now framed with puffy redness identical to the other.
' What can I do?'
Drop.
The thin blanket absorbed the bead of tear as soon as it contacted its surface.
' What can I do?'
" Crying's not going to get you anywhere, you know?"
She stiffened and perked up when another voice had reached to her ears.
The pink-haired Kunoichi's head whipped around to meet the newcomer. Circular jade evolved to the size of chinas.
" Tsu-Tsunade Sensei!" Untangling her patient's hand from her own, she rose from the wooden stool to give respect to her master.
Feeling embarrassed as blood rushed to her face, she quickly dried her eyes by wiping furiously at her dampen eyes.
" You... remind me of myself when I was your age," the elderly woman commented softly, almost like she didn't want her to catch her mumbling.
She did anyway.
" Hm?"
The fifth Hokage released a deep sigh, slowly making her way up to her one and only student.
" It was raining that night. The wind howled so loudly that I could barely hear myself wail over his dead body..." As she reflected back to the earlier years of her adulthood, Sakura saw those amber depths become distant.
Her teacher, her consoler, standing there, unmoving with that painful expression slapped onto her face.
She appeared to be almost... frightening...
" ... But that doesn't matter now..." Shaking out the memories from her head, the blonde regained her composure by crossing her arms before her pumped chest in the infamous proud manner. " No use crying over spilt milk. Have you forgotten to use your head, Sakura?"
" But-..."
" Enough." She silenced her with the palm of her hand. " That's why I'm here, Sakura. I brought you some good news and bad news."
The apprentice medical nin's ears perked up hopefully.
" Good news if that I found a way for him to regain his sight... And bad news... is..." sucking in a mouthful of air and exhaling again, she continued. "... is that a sacrifice of another's sight must be made in order for this jutsu to work..."
Placing a hand over her heart, she let her thoughts flow out without hesitation.
" Give him my sight."
