Sakura's Death 7/11/07
NARUTO'S POV
Sakura lay on the ground, dead, with me and Sasuke kneeling over her. Seeing her pale face I cried out, "No! Sakura! Come back! Sakura!" At that, I picked her up and carried her to the empty hole in the ground with Sasuke not far behind me. I gently placed Sakura down and looked over at Sasuke with tears in my eyes. "I guess this is it. I guess this is goodbye." Sasuke looked at me, "Yeah, goodbye. Goodbye Sakura." Me and Sasuke picked up our shovels and started to cover up the hole. "Wait!" I dropped my shovel and stared at Sasuke. "Did you hear something?" I asked. "No." Sasuke and I continued to cover up Sakura with earth in silence.
SASUKE'S POV
I looked down at Sakura laying there on the ground, dead, tears streaming down my face. Sakura….. "No! Sakura! Come back! Sakura!" That was Naruto, of course, screaming me out of my thoughts. I watched as Naruto picked up Sakura and placed her in the ground. This is it…..Naruto looked over at me and said "I guess this is it. I guess this is goodbye." I looked over at him, and there he was, crying and looking hopeless as usual. I didn't want to look like I didn't care so I sighed and said "Yeah, goodbye. Goodbye Sakura." We bent over, picked up our shovels and started to cover her up when Naruto dropped his shovel and stared at me. "Did you hear something?" he asked. "No." I rolled my eyes and finished burying Sakura in the ground.
SAKURA'S POV
I'm laying here on the ground unable to move because Itachi put a curse on me and now everyone thinks I'm dead! I try to move, I try to yell but I can't! I want someone to realize I'm not dead! I can't be buried alive, I just can't! How can I get it across to Naruto and Sasuke to know I can still breathe??? I can hear Naruto yelling and I want so hard to yell back, to show signs of life! I want to scream, "I'm alive! Don't bury me!" but I can't! On the inside I'm screaming and hollering and doing everything I can to let them know, but on the outside, I'm just a body, a dead useless body. I can feel Naruto picking me up and placing me in the ground. On the inside I start to cry, knowing what's going to happen. "Hey!" Huh? What was that? "I said, hey! You! Sakura! It's me, your inner Sakura! Don't just give up! Try, try one more time! Scream! Let everybody know you're still alive!" My inner self? I guess I can do it if I say so…..So I scream, I scream out loud, louder than ever before! I scream to save my life, to let Naruto and Sasuke, to let Konoha, to let the WORLD know that I, Haruno Sakura, am alive! "WAIT!" Yes! It's working! I can hear Naruto! I can hear Naruto realizing I am alive! Wait….no….NO! WAIT! No! Why are you covering me up? No wait! Naruto! Stop! No! I'm still here! I'm still here. I'm alive.
