YOUR PROMISE SEALED WITH A TRUE SMILE
As I walk my way down to the park, my thoughts were filled about him. I reached the park and sat on a bench watching the children play. Their laughs and joyous calls to each other brought my conscience back to the days wherein my team was a whole.
Or were we even whole?
My thoughts suddenly shook me like a brock. I chuckled, how could I have thought of my team as mistrusted and unfair? It disgusted me to think that my team was doomed from the start. Perchance it was because nobody really liked each other- Kakashi-sensei mostly stayed away with his perverted books, Naruto was always angry over Sasuke-kun or Kakashi-sensei, and I have done nothing, save for the fact that I was a burden.
I looked up at the sky and saw their faces, yet his was the most clear. My first affections to him were only small infatuations, yet now my life had a hollow, indescribable vacuum which I knew came from his leaving. I did not like to see him again, I yearned to see, hug and appreciate him again into my life.
As my thoughts clouded my mind, I didn't realize that the sun was about to set. Still I waited, waited like he is going to return.
Then I saw the children bidding farewell to each other with their parents beside them. It dawned me, knowing that the sadness on their faces is alike to mine when he left. But these children would see each other again, right? Maybe someday, I'll get to see Sasuke-kun again, even for a second…
Moments passed though everything seemed to be so slow and agonizing. Even for a second, I can't take him out of my mind.
Everything was so quiet and at peace up until I felt hands covering my eyes and everything went dark.
"Waiting to be beautiful, ugly?" a manly voice teased me.
Sai, he really can't stop himself with those nicknames, can he? He'll never change… until he gets his emotion back.
I sighed, how could he ruin the mood? "Sai… please, I'm not in the mood…" I told him coolly. I didn't really like what he told me but I accepted the point
"How come?" he asked me quickly as he took his seat beside me, jumping from behind.
I turned to him and looked deep into his eyes, empty as always but marked with confusion.
Suddenly, he asked something I never expected that would come from him…"Is it about Sasuke-san?"
I looked away not knowing what to say or more likely embarrassed. So many years have passed and yet I'm still giving my whole to him. I pity myself, Sasuke-kun has done so many wounds on my heart but I love him in no end.
Sai continued, "You look uglier when you're so serious, hag". He smiled, a fake one again. For this moment, what he said didn't anger me. I accepted it for I knew for now I was a wreck.
"Oh…" I replied. This startled Sai, he didn't expect me to accept his mockery.
"Sakura-san," he called me in my name, my eyes went wide for a second but I gained my composure quickly. "I…"
I stared at Sai, it was sure that he isn't himself today. He hid his face with his bangs and he has never been this slow and edgy. Then he looked straight at me with a smile, but his smile did not match the fake ones he gives, it was a… true smile...
I promise to help bring Sasuke back… even if it costs my life...
