Cursed
Sakura sighed deeply and gave a golden ring, complete with emeralds back to the boy that gave it to her. "Lee, please, stop it." She sighed. "Don't buy me expensive gifts." Lee smiled, yet didn't take the ring back. "I want you to have it Sakura-chan." He said, not accepting the trinket. "It belongs with someone as beautiful as you." Sakura swallowed hard and took Lee's hand, pushing the ring back in it. "Lee, I can never give you what you want." She said. She felt sad for the boy but she couldn't accept his love when she herself loved Sasuke, could she? No, she could not!
"That is no bother Sakura-chan." Lee said, smiling. "For, at least, I can try and give you what you want, while certain someone does not." Sakura suddenly felt like scratching that smile right off of Lee's face, but she chose to run away instead, not seeing how Lee's face fell into sorrow, his eyes shining with grief, pity and sadly even some hope.
Sakura ran and jumped right to the top of the hokage mountain. She found that no other person ever walked there, and thus she would always find herself alone with her thoughts whenever necessary. She let her legs dangle over the edge, not really fearing heights, and thus capable of looking down onto the village. What did she ever do to deserve this. She was being loved just right, but only by the wrong person. She sighed and put her chin in her hands, her elbows resting on her knees. How was she going to draw Sasuke's attention?
"Wench!" a voice suddenly hissed. Sakura looked around, to see who threw her that insult, but found no one. She frowned and decided to discard the sound as her own thoughts playing with her. "Cold-hearted wench!" the same voice now hissed, very clearly too. Sakura jumped up, looking around frantically, searching for whoever seemed to have targeted her. She only saw a black cat, with white feet and a white spot on the tip of her tail. "Who's there?" Sakura asked anxiously.
"Are you blind girl? I'm right in front of you." Sakura blinked. This was her imagination. That cat did not just speak. "I sure did." The cat said. Sakura jumped back in fright, nearly falling down hokage mountain, but managing to stand still just in time. The cat seemed to be glaring at her now, and Sakura just glared back. Cat or no cat, what right did it have to insult her? "What business do you have with me?" Sakura asked, a bit more boldly this time. The cat jumped onto a rock and seemed to be smirking. "I want you to feel the pain you cause." The cat said. Sakura blinked. What was it talking about? "You will notice soon enough." The cat said. Oh great, so now it was reading her thoughts. "Let me introduce myself." The cat said politely, her tail swaying slightly. "I am the demon cat Ordula"
Sakura was not sure what to do. Okay, so a cat was no introducing herself to her, fine, whatever. The cat raised a paw and licked it a few times before continuing. "I see what pain you cause others, while knowing you do. Now, I will make you go trough the same thing." Sakura gulped. What was the beast going to do with her. She fell into an attack stance. Whatever it was planning, Sakura was not going down without a fight. "I do not mean physical pain." The cat stated bluntly, not having moved an inch. "But I'll tell you once more, you will soon understand what I mean, because of your own cruelty."
Sakura noticed how she suddenly started glowing in a strange black glow. How darkness could shine, she didn't understand, but it did! Her vision suddenly turned white as she saw nothing but a blinding white light now moving towards her. She closed her eyes and shielded herself with her arms. When she felt it was safe to look again, the light was gone, and so was Ordula. Sakura sighed. Okay, this had been a dream, a very strange dream yes, but still a dream.
She was not going to dwell on this, she had grown too old for fantasy tales damn it. A demon cat, yeah right. She quickly walked down again, not really feeling safe on top of that mountain all of a sudden. She wasn't even looking where she was going when she suddenly bumped into someone. She was about to fall over harshly when someone grabbed her hand and pulled her to her feet just in time, releasing it as she stood. "Watch where you're going." A voice mumbled. Sakura looked up to find Sasuke looking her sternly in the eye, as if giving her a lecture. "I'm sorry, Sasuke." Sakura uttered shyly. "May I ask where you were heading to?" she asked bravely as Sasuke already started to walk past her. "Nowhere in particular." Sasuke answered.
Sakura saw this as her chance. "May I ask you to join me for dinner then?" she asked hopefully. Sasuke looked at her from over his shoulder and did nothing but glare. "Go away, you're annoying." He said and walked on, his hands in his pockets, not a care in the world. Sakura's heart ached. It ached badly. She gulped as she felt tears well up in her eyes. "Pull yourself together girl." She whispered to herself as she walked into the other direction. "You are used to this by now, aren't you?" She smiled as she understood how familiar this pain was. She guessed it would never fully stop.
"Sakura-chan!" she heard a familiar voice call after her. She turned around to see a boy in a green jumpsuit and with huge eyebrows present her with some flowers and a warm, kind smile. She couldn't help but sigh and await what was sure to come next. "Sakura-chan, these are for you." Lee stated happily, giving her the flowers. She took them doubtfully. She was sure that wasn't all. "Would you kindly allow me to treat you to a nice dinner?" Lee asked smiling ever so cutely. Sakura didn't think so though. "Lee, can't you just leave me alone?" she asked a bit more angry then she had intended to. She would've said more, but suddenly, a sharp pain filled her heart. She gasped and fell to her knees. What was this pain? It was almost like the pain she felled when rejected by Sasuke, only 10 times worse. What was going on?!!!
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Teehee, you guys see what's going on? Well, I love leexsaku but I thought this was original, you know? Don't worry, this is really leexsaku, I hate the fact that Lee didn't have a big part in this chapter though, but oh well, more chapters to come!!!!
