"Do you remember? The night when we met here? The night when you're going to leave Konoha... no, not only the village but me," Sakura told him, still wearing a fake smile on her face.
"I, I don't want to remember that right now."
"Uhm, maybe we shouldn't remember things that happened a long time ago. I'm not the Sakura you used to know. You're not even the Sasuke I used to know. You have changed." Sakura opened 2 cans of softdrink and gave Sasuke one.
"So, what are you gonna do? You're a Chuunin now. Unlike me.." Sasuke asked her.
Sakura didn't utter a word for a minute. She sat beside Sasuke and laughed hysterically. "Me? A Chuunin like me cannot accomplish such missions. I don't even know why they promoted me as a Chuunin when I don't have any talent as a ninja." then she cried. Sakura cried, and Sasuke hugged her.
"I don't know what happened to me. I.. I want to stay as a Genin forever." she shrugged her shoulders.
"Don't say that. You've already reached the next level. I'm the one who should have such problems. I'm still a Genin.. a very dangerous Genin." Sasuke looked up. The sky is red. The sun is ready to set.
"Since that incident, I felt so uncomfortable. When I scream, there's no reply, when I reach up there's nothing to find, when I sleep I break down and cry." Sakura told him. "Maybe I shouldn't tell you those things. It might bother you, Sasuke-kun. I don't think you felt the same too."
"Maybe.. but deep inside my heart I know I felt it too. I'm possessed by a demon, that's why I can't control my emotions and myself. Sakura.. I'm sorry." he hugged her tight.
"It's okay. You don't have to apologize. It's not your fault, anyway."
"I understand what you feel, Sakura."
"Well, I feel better!" Sakura hugged him and kissed him on his cheeks. ".. because you came back to me, Sasuke-kun. Don't leave me again. I don't want to be alone anymore."
"I will never leave you again. I promise. Not now that we're together. You're already mine, and I'm already yours." Sasuke whispered in Sakura's ear.
"You want to become a Chuunin?" she asked. "Nope. Just leave the decision to the Hokage." he replied with a smile on his face.
"Well... you really changed." she replied with a true smile.
"Yeah. I'm glad to know that." then he hugged her again. This time, he kissed her, but not in the cheeks.
Well, it's a short story, though. I hope it's okay. Well, would you please send a review? I would like to hear your comments and suggestions. Thank you.
