My Love Started with a Curse
Sasuke Uchiha woke up about midnight, wondering what had woken him from his slumber. Looking to his right, he only found a cold breeze come over him. Sitting up on the bed he looked around for Sakura Uchiha. Sasuke started to worry where Sakura had gone to. It wasn't like her to disappeared in the middle of the night. Sensing for her chakra he relaxed when he found it out side of the bedroom.
On the master bedroom balcony of the new rebuilt Uchiha mansion Sakura looked out to the stars. Sakura had yet to tell Sasuke of her sleeping problems. But they were more of a memory then a nightmare. The memory of when Sasuke went berserk for the first time and the exam.
Staring into the sky, she hadn't notice Sasuke come up behind her. Wrapping his arms around Sakura he asked why she couldn't sleep.
"I keep having memories of the exams come into my head. For some reason thought they won't leave. No matter how much I try to forget, they wont go away." Sakura leaned into Sasuke hold. Sasuke hold on Sakura became a little tighter.
"Sasuke, what am I gonna do. I so scared that I'll lose you if the seal is broken again" Sakura turned around and cried into his chest. Sasuke on the other hand knew what she was afraid of. Him going berserk. Sasuke felt Sakura start to settle down in his arms. Holding her closer he realized that she had fallen asleep.
Picking her up bridal style, Sasuke took her back to bed. Placing himself as the pillow he watch as Sakura slept in her husband's arms. Sasuke on the other hand was also afraid of him going berserk.
Flashback Start:
I stood up and look over to Sakura. She was injured and she was in her knees, with bruising coming to many parts of her body.
"Sakura" I whispered. "who did this to you" I look over to Sakura wanting an answer. Thought nothing came, just a look of shock on her face. "who was it" I now demanded, Sakura finally spoke
"Sasuke . . . . . . . what happen to you" Sakura whispered to me. I turned to my fallen teammate. I just stood there and looked at her.
"don't worry Sakura, I'll be alright. It's only power. Power flowing through my body to protect what I care for and what I must do before I can show the object of my protection what they mean to me."
Sakura looked at me as I approached her. I placed my hands on both side of her face. I felt her lean into the left hand side. I notice this and came to the conclusion that he was hitting her on the right. I continued to what I had to say.
"Thought I have never felt any better. He made me understand what it is I must do to follow my path. I must have power at any price. Even if it means being consumed be evil" I still held a lock gaze with Sakura. "now tell me who did this to you Sakura" Before Sakura could react, the sound ninja responsible for her injures spoke.
"that's be me" he spoke. I look at Sakura once more time. Turning away from her I walk a safe distance from her and Naruto. But it wasn't much help, he attacked. Having a feeling he would go after Sakura and Naruto I moved them to a safer spot. To the sound ninja thought, it looked like I had been killed.
"did I do it" he spoke. Looking around. Sasuke place Naruto on the ground and then place Sakura on the ground also.
"S. . . .Sa . . . . .Sasuke" was all she could manage. I looked into her eyes. They were filled with worry once again.
"I'll be fine. Stay and watch Naruto" I answered and went to fight.
"did I get him" he spoke once again"
"not quite" I spoke behind him then side kick him into a tree. "this is for Sakura's injures" I thought to my self. Looking at his form I notice that his waves came from the palm of his hands. "gotta do something about that now, don't I" I thought once again.
"you brat, you'll pay for that" the sound ninja ran at me. I dogged his attack and went to his back. Grabbing his arms I preceded to pull them out of the shoulder sockets.
"you seem very proud of your arms of yours. Very attached to them, let's change that shall we." I heard his scream signaling the dislocation of the shoulders. I kick him away one again and look at the last one of the trio. The look in his eyes, they told me his was afraid, but I didn't care, I wanted more to satisfy the need for power. As I walked up to him, I heard Sakura scream and run up behind me
"NNNNOOOOOO. SASUKE NNNNNOOOOO" she shouted. I turned to look at her when she had wrapped her arms around me. She was crying.
"Sasuke stop please." She whispered to me. I couldn't take me eyes off her. She wouldn't let go either.
Time stood still for the both of us, as we started into each other. Wanting and needing to know that I would be safe and that this part of the exam was only a dream. Finally I felt the marks retract. There I fell limp in her arms. The object I now know I must protect to keep her alive.
Flashback End:
Sasuke came out of his memory to look once again at Sakura. She had become his weakness, the only thing that had help him, besides Naruto and Kakashi sensei, she had been only one of few to remind Sasuke to fight the unwanted marks on the back of his neck.
"Sakura, your really are a lot stronger then you think"
Sasuke placed Sakura o her side of the bed. In a second thought he received a grumble of mean from Sakura. Sasuke then became comfortable in the middle. Placing and arm around Sakura, he brought her back into his embrace.
Looking at her once again Sasuke thought to himself. "Sakura you are the object of my protection. Not only that but you will become a fine mother to our children." Sakura stirred in the arms of her husband, though didn't wake up.
"and to think this all started when the curse, Orochimaru gave me acted up the first time. I showed you how I felt about you." Sasuke thought. "who'd ever thought I come to love you. My Sakura Uchiha"
