"Sasuke! No you can't go! Please! Don't do this to me!" Sakura screamed with tears streaming down her beautiful face. The moon shining down on her illuminating her features and making her pink hair shine.
"Sakura, you know I have to. I need to obtain power so I can kill Itachi." I said emotionless on the outside but on the inside I didn't want to leave. I didn't want to leave her. I know I love her but I can't tell her because Itachi will take her away from me. He took away everything I ever loved away from me. I can't let him take her away too.
"Sasuke, please stay with me. You'll be happy, I promise. You can obtain power here with me and Naruto and Kakashi-sensei." She was practically whispering as she dropped to her knees in the heart ached to hold her to hug and kiss her tears away.
"Sakura…I" No! I can't tell her not until I kill Itachi. "Sasuke you what?" No I can't tell her! But I'm so tempted to because I don't want to see her cry anymore.
It's my 's my weakness. "Sasuke, why don't you ever tell me anything?!" Oh God no she was crying even more. I got own on my knees so I was eye level with her.
I grabbed her shoulders and pulled her to my chest. I wrapped my arms around her and put my chin on her head. I heard her shaky gasp of surprise.
I rubbed her back with the palm of my hand. I breathed in her intoxicating scent of strawberries. "Sasuke-kun?" She whispered. "Sakura, he reason I always ignore you is to protect you from my brother. He took everything away from me. Everything that I loved. I want to protect you from him because…I…I love you Haruno Sakura."
She put her hands on my chest and slightly pulled away to look me in the eye. "Do you really mean that Sasuke-kun?" She said as her emerald orbs looked into mine.
I kissed her forehead and smoothed her hair. "Of course I do Sakura-chan. When I said that you were annoying" she cringed "I meant it because you were always on my mind. All I could ever l think about was you. Every single minute of the day was Sakura for me. Your eyes, your hair, your smile, I thought it would get in the way of my training."
I tilted my head to the side and kissed her lips. I pulled away and she put her arms around my neck and snuggled her head into my chest. My cheeks were burning.
"That was the sweetest thing I've ever heard. Thank you." Her voice was still shaky so I pulled her up and she was still crying. "Sakura-chan, why are you still crying?" Did I say something wrong? Oh God what did I do? "Sasuke-kun?" She whispered softly. "Yes?" I said anxiously. "Are you…still leaving?" She sniffled.
"No Sakura-chan, I changed my mind I'm going to obtain power here with you and the rest of team 7" She smiled brightly and her eyes shined with happiness.
"Thank you so much Sasuke-kun!" I gently wiped her tears away and she blushed. God she is so beautiful. She blushed even harder.
Oh God did I just say that out loud?!?! "Yeah you did Sasuke-kun" she laughed. I blushed. "Aww! Sasu-kun you look so cute when you blush!" She smiled.
"Sakura-chan?" I asked nervously. "Yeah?" She said looking so cute and innocent. "Will you be my girlfriend?" I shut my eyes and turned my head away waiting for her response.
All of a sudden I was being glomped. I opened my eyes and I was laying down on the pavement and she was on top of me happy as can be. I blushed. "YES!!! YES! YES! YES!!" She screamed.
I stood up pulling her with me. "And Sakura?" She looked up at me. "Y-yeah" I leaned down so that we were nose to nose. She blushed deeply.
"If any other guy besides me touches you it better not be when I'm around because they'll be missing some limbs" She giggled. "Ok Sasu-kun I'll keep that in mind"
I grabbed her hand and intertwined our fingers. "Are you up for some ramen Saku-chan?" She smiled. "Sure. But Naruto's going to be there." "Well he's not going to be touching you so there's nothing to worry about. And we can tell him about us."
I pulled her to my side and put my arm around her waist. She squeaked. I chuckled. "C'mon let's go" She nodded and we walked off to Ichiraku Ramen.
