"Sasuke!"

Nothing was heard.

Pure, dead silence.

"Sasuke-k-kun..." Sakura sobbed. "Sasuke-kun!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today was the anniversary of Sasuke's funeral. I cried everytime I thought of it. I mean, really how could I not?

I watched him die. And I couldn't do anything about it. It's all my fault he's dead. If I just left him alone that day, he wouldn't have died. He would be standing here with me.

Still alive.

But that's only a dream. What had happened that day, it will never change. I started to walk away from Sasuke's grave.

"Sasuke Uchiha, Age 16. A loved teammate, comrade, and proud shinobi" I sighed. It was raining that day.

Like the clouds were crying. Horrible hate tears. "It's all my fault..." I said. At that moment lightning struck.

I hid under the bleachers of Konoha Leaf High. "Kuso" I cursed.

That, was when the lightning struck. It wasn't too smart to hide under metal during a thunder storm.

Six hours later I woke up in the hospital. I felt light-headed, dizzy even. "You guys! She's waking up!" Ino said. Everyone crowded around me.

"Sakura-chan!" Lee and Naruto both yelled at me at the same time. "Sakura-chan, Sakura-chan! What happened?" Naruto questioned.

I sat up. "...I was visiting Sasuke's grave...and..." At that moment my parents burst in.

"Sakura! Don't ever scare us like that again! We talked to the doctors, they said you can come home. But you have to rest. Which means no school." My mom said.

I nodded. An hour later I was back home. For some reason I felt all... tingley inside. And that's when I knew. Evrything was going to change.

I mean it's not everyday you see the ghost of the one you loved. My eyes widened. There stood Sasuke (in ghost form) wearing the clothes he had died in.

All blue and blood stained.

"Sasuke?" I said uncertainly. For the first time his eyes widened. "Sakura? Yo-you can see me?" He said with full shock.

"Are-aren't you-u d-dead?" I stuttered. Stupid. Of course he was. Otherwise he wouldn't be in my room. And well, I wouldn't be able to see him.

But the question was, how come I can see him? This has never happened before. At least, not to me. But there in blue and red, was Sasuke's ghost.

"B-but how... how come I can see you?" I asked. "Maybe, because it was that lightning" He started to pace around my room.

"I read, that some people are born with the gift of being able to see the dead. But I never heard of people gaining that power."

Woah. I can see the dead. This, was not good.

I tied my pink hair back in a ponytail. "So, what your saying is," I began "Is that I just gained this gift? Through lightning?" He nodded.

"But with great power comes great responsibility" He said. "Here, wheres your computer?" I pointed over by the chair.

He walked, no somewhat floated over there, and began to search something up. "What are you doing?" I said as I climbed off my bed. "Here take a look" I leaned in closer.

Mediator- Someone who can see souls of the dead. They are granted the gift for one reason, to guide the souls that are stuck in the mid-point of life and death to their final destination.

"I'm a mediator?" I said. He nodded. "Wow. Does that mean... once I send them to their next life or something, they're gone? Like do they vanish?" I asked.

"Yeah they'll be gone forever, or at least to heaven or hell." He replied. "Does that mean--" He cut me off and said "I don't know everything about this yet. I'll search it up some more. But while I'm doing that, don't tell anyone" I tilted my head.

"Why not?" I asked. "What are you gonna say? 'Hey guys guess what I can see the dead! And Sasuke, yeah, I can see him too. And now I'm a mediator!'" He said sarcastically.

"I see what you mean..." I said "Sasuke-kun?" "Hn?" He grunted. "I was wondering, would that mean... if I mediated you, you would be gone forever?"

He thought for a moment as if it had never occured to him."Yup," he finally said. "But, I promise I won't leave. I know you've been having a hard time since...since well the day I died. And I want you to know it isn't your fault." My eyes widened. "No, it is. It really is Sasuk---" I said.

"No, Sakura. What happened, happened. If I could I would still want to be alive, but as you can see it's not going to happen. Now go to sleep it's already twelve."

I did what I was told. However, I did not sleep soundly. I will find a way to bring you back Sasuke-kun. I promise, even if I have to risk my own life doing so...

Sasuke kept on typing. Commen words came up everytime. Things like 'shifting' and 'death realm'.

Shifting- When transfering a dead soul to another living being's body; murder.

Death Realm- The waiting place between hell and heaven; death zone.

Sasuke flinched. So, if I'm dead, how come I'm not in that death realm? I should write this down, for Sakura to read later. He thought.

Sasuke searched for a pen. When he found one, he couldn't pick it up.

Damnit. I'll just have to tell her later. It's already 2a.m. I'm gonna go check on Naruto and the guys.

At Naruto's House 2:30 a.m.

"Ramen, ramen, ramen..." Naruto muttered in his sleep.

"Same old Naruto...Dobe" Sasuke thought, smirking.

"Hinata..." Sasuke smirked even more. "Hmm... So the dobe likes Hinata... Maybe I should do a little matchmaking later..."

At Shikamaru's House 3:25 a.m

Snore. "Wow...even louder than ever, hey what's this." He picked up a frame. It showed Ino smiling and laughing with him, also showing Shikamaru blushing.

"Damn, and these guys never told me? Granted, I never told them about Sa--" He shook his head. "I don't like her."

And with that he made his way to Neji's house.

At Neji's House 4:00 a.m

Sasuke looked at Neji. "Omg. Is that Tenten?God MY EYES THEY'RE BLEEDING AWW THE AGONY" Sasuke thought overeacting. "Did not, need to see that" He thought as he made his way back at Sakura's.

Back At Sakura's house 5:00 a.m

Sasuke came in, first looking at the computer he was on. Then shifting his gaze over to Sakura. Her hair was untied, and her jade green eyes sleeping. She almost looked---"No. Hormones, yeah viscious ghost hormones"He thought as he looked away.

"Sasuke-kun..." Sakura muttered as she rolled around a bit. "Sasuke-kun, why?"

"Why what?" He thought. "What did I do? Sakura..." At the time he wouldn't have even thought about it.

He was warming up to her.
