Fly Away You Torn Cherry Blossom

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

She laid there on her bed. Her eyes closed softly and gentle. Undisturbed. Peace. Serenity. Calm. Perfect. Soon to change after the earth shattering knock came to her door.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Sound very similar to thunderbolts hitting the house. However it wasn't raining, so Sakura concluded that it was some one that the door. Lazily she tore off the covers from her skin, exposing her creamy legs to the harsh air conditioning that ran throught her apartment. She grudged over to her door and put on her fuzzy pink slippers then she slowly put on her pink house coat. She opened the door slightly, then the person on the other side shoved it opened, knocking Sakura to the ground. Then she saw who was at the door, Yamanaka Ino.

"Sakura? Sakura!" Ino screamed as loud as she possibly could, unaware of the fact the her konuchi comrade was on the carpet, rubbing her eyes.

"Ino!...Ino!" Sakura yelled back, "I'm down here."

Ino's attention was quickly brought to Sakura who was lying on the ground, "Sakura." She repeated.

Sakura began to stand up slowly, "What Ino?" She said softly.

Ino grabbed Sakura's hands to help her up off the carpet, "Sit down." She pointed to the bed that Sakura just fallen out of.

"What the hell? Why?"

"Sit."

She walked over to her mattaress, right after she gave Ino a confused glare, "What Ino?" She repeated once again.

"Its Sasuke." She stated simply.

Sakura gasped loudly, all the oxygen in the room pouring into her lungs, "What?" she gulped, "What about him?"

Ino hesitated, Sakura's glare wearing her down, "He's dead."

Sakura's eyes glazed with a thousand tears, she turned away, "No."

Ino looked up to the ceiling, trying to get rid of her tears, making sure that Sakura didn't know that she was crying. Watching Sakura break down was never easy, but now this? "I'm so sorry." Ino wrapped her arms around her friend trying to give her the vague feeling of comfort.

She pushed her arms off of hers, "Liar. He is not dead."

"Sakura, they found his shirt torn, covered in blood. They analazed it and said that it matched Sasuke's blood and DNA, and that even if he was alive when he was hurt, that he lost so much blood he would be dead now. I'm sorry."

Sakura didn't reply, she stood up grimly and started to walk towards the exit of her apartment. Ino watched in despair, "Sakura! Where are you going? Sakura-chan! Stop damn it!" Ino stood up as well and started to follow her.

She turned around fierecly, "Don't. Follow. Me." Sakura's eyes killing Ino's soul with every second that pass by. Ino walked back to Sakura's bed and sat down, watching her best friend leave the room falling apart with every moment slowly passing by. Sakura left the room slamming the door behind her and leaving Ino in her room breaking down as well. She felt so useless, she couldn't even help her best friend. Then again...she couldn't think of anyone else that could. Except him. Ino broke down as well and cried her self to sleep on Sakura's bed.

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

Sakura left her apartment complex, in her pink outfit scuffling her pink slippers on the gravel, staring at the harsh ground. People were staring and pointing at her, making comments and accusations as she walked past them. She could only hear bits and pieces of what they were saying, but she heard enough to get the gist of what they were saying about her.

"She must know."

"Who told her?"

"Why is she this upset?"

"He never loved her."

"Why does she care?"

They had no idea. Like they knew how she felt, like they had the right to boss her around. Tell her what to believe in, who to loved. What to care about. They had no right. She knew where she was going right now, they couldn't tell her what to do now. Her mind focused on the moments that her and Sasuke spent together while she was walking. Moments. That was what they were when he was alive... Now they are only memories. She can't have anymore moments with him, she realized, she could only keep the memories. Which weren't many. Those where the only things that she cherished now, the only thing that she really cared about. Sakura finally reached her destination. The cliff. A beautiful and serene place, that wasn't the reason why she picked this spot to come to though. No. This was the place where she confessed everything.

Flashback

Even at thriteen years old they knew what they felt. Sakura and Sasuke sat at the end of the cliff, their feet hanging over the edge. Temptating death, even with one sneeze they would fall over. But it was so beautiful, that dying there with him at that moment would all be worth it.

"Sasuke."

He looked at her with a bored look. "What?" his words were cold.

"Nevermind." She re-thought everything. Her whole plan.

"What ever." He faced the view again, the village was genlty being kissed by the sun set.

"Sasuke-kun." She said once again.

Again he faced her.

"I like you."

He gave her a cocked-eyebrow, "What?"

"I like you." She repeated, "I like you alot actually. I have for quite some time now."

He turned around and looked at the village again.

Sakura sat there anticipating what he was going to say next, "Sasuke-kun?"

"What?"

"Did you hear me?"

"Hn."

She paused, "Then...?"

"Then what?" his voice getting more and more irratiated by the second.

"Do you like me to?" She questioned. Her voice full of hope.

"No." He stood up and walked away shattering every bit of hope that she held dear.

End of flashback.

Her undying love.

Her passion for him.

The never ending feeling to be near him.

The want to hold him.

To be there for him.

Everything.

This is the spot where it all began.

And soon...

The spot where it would all end.

It wasn't worth living this life without him. Nothing was worth it without him. Sakura slowly walked towards the edge of the cliff, her feet teasing fate. She spread her arms out like a bird, she wished she could fly, just fly right off of this cliff and up to heaven. Where everything would be great... The precious wind hitting her face, she edged her self closer to the end of the cliff. Her pink robe being pushed by the wind, and her hair sticking to her face from the tears. She took one last look at the village, the sun touched every corner of it, covering the village in scatter shadows. Then...she jumped. You know how they say that everything flashes before your eyes, right before you die? Well it did. Whoever said those words knew what it meant to lose everything, but still remember it all.

Flashbacks

"My name is Haruno Sakura. What is yours?"

He looked away. "Uchiha Sasuke." he mumbled.

"These are my parents." She looked around, "Where are yours?"

"Dead."

--

"Sasuke-teme, I need some money for my ramen!" Naruto whined.

Sasuke pretended not to acknowledge that Naruto was speaking, instead he stared at Sakura. She blushed madly as she turned around to avoid his piercing gaze. Sasuke just smirked at the effect that he had on his teammate.

--

"Sakura! Sakura-chan." Naruto screamed.

She turned around, her hair whipping her in her pale face. "Yeah?"

"Do you..Do you want to go to the store with me?"

"Umm. Naruto I don't think that today is the best time." She turned around to walk away, but was stopped by a soild figure. "Sasuke" She mumbled softly as her eyes met his.


"Hn." He walked away with Naruto.

"Are you sure you don't want to join us?" Naruto asked again.

"Uh, actually...Yeah sure. I'll go!" She raced up to catch up with them, she got into the line, Sasuke on one side and Naruto on the other. She looked at Sasukes hair as it blew in the wind it mesmorized her and she smiled.

--

They were in the forest, just about to go to the cliff. Sasuke was right behind her in the mission. It was almost complete so they decided to just wait around until Naruto finished the job. Sasuke walked over to the edge of the cliff first, Sakura soon followed behind him slowly. They sat at the top, with their feet hanging over, just like they did before. When she confessed her feelings towards him. It was quiet and beautiful, the trees were casting shadows over their bodies, thanks to the sun. They were almost in complete darkness. The trees blew gently in the wind, as the scent of flowers and grass soared around them.

Sakura sighed deeply, "Its so beautiful." She smelt the air and her eyes met the valley beneath them.

"Hn." Was his reply, he looked like he was thinking about something.

She sighed again, she wanted to make conversation with him, at least have him give a better reply then 'Hn', or 'Aa' those weren't words, well maybe to him but...still. "So how have you been lately Sasuke-kun?"

He had to give an answer now, "Fine." He said coldly, then he paused for a few moments, "You?"

She looked up shocked that he gave a decent answer, "Good. So what is with you these days?" She was finally having a conversation with him.

"Nothing.", he paused again, "Just..thinking." He looked at her, his eyes capturing her gaze.

"Thinking?" she repeated, "About what?"

He hesitated, "You."

She blushed, "Me?"

"Hn." he looked away again.

"What about me?" She said with a huge smile.

Minutes passed as he tried to think of a correct answer to say about what he was feeling, he couldn't think of anything to say. He looked around making sure no one else was watching them, he sensed no others also. So he was safe. Then he did something totally out of his character. He turned Sakura around and looked her in the eyes, his eyes giving off a feeling that he had never done before. His body screaming at him, his heart pounding with concern, mind full of confusion. Sakura stared at him with worry, not knowing what he was going to do next, Despite all of that Sasuke knew that if he didn't do this that he would regret it, and this was a person who never wanted to regret anything. He pulled Sakura closer, he felt her start to tense up in fear. She was so close to him that if he were to fall of the cliff, she would fall right along with him, he figured that was why she was afraid..

He then gently pulled himself a little more closer, he whispered into her ear. "I would never hurt you."

She tried to speak but she could find the air to produce the words. Though, she wouldn't have the time to do that because he planted a kiss on her rossette lips. He played with her bottom lip, teasing her. She reluctently let him in. He tasted so sweet, even better than he looked, as did she. She moaned gently as she played with his hair and pulled him closer to her lips. He pulled away, breaking off the kiss. Leaving a flabbergasted Sakura with a confused grin. "What?" she asked softly.

"I...I shouldn't of done that."

"Why?" Her voice started to break.

"It was wrong." he stood up ashamed of what he had just done. How un-professtional, how love-sick, it wasn't that he didn't like it, of course he did, but rule number one in the Ninja Handbook, 'Never show your emotions.' and he broke it. He spat on it and threw it away like it was nothing. It felt good, but he could never tell that to anyone, he always followed the rules. It felt great to break one, but also childish.

"Wrong?" she questioned.

"Yes."

"Yes? Why?"

"Damn it! Because, you are never suppose to do that. I was never suppose to do that, I never was going to. Especially to my teammate!" He said desperatley.


"Your teammate? Sasuke I am your friend."

"Even more of a reason not to do 'that' Sakura!"

She walked towards him slowly, making sure that she wasn't going to scare him off. "'That' was all worth it. You liked it Sasuke, I know you did I felt it in your kiss." She touched her lips were his once were.

He said nothing.

Sakura inched her self closer to him,, and twisted his hair, "Sasuke-kun." she said seductively.

"Sakura." he sighed, "We can't tell any one about this."

She was a little shocked but not to much, it was Sasuke after all, "Alright." She backed away.

"Fine."

Just then they heard branches cracking, and bushes rustling, the cliff was completely covered in darkness, impossible to see who the intruder was.

"Sasuke? Sakura?" A powerful, and yet so annoying voice called.

'Naurto.' they both thought in unision.

"Dobe!" Sasuke cried, 'I thought you were the enemy!"

Naruto chuckled.

Sakura never spoke of that moment to anyone, not even Ino. That was how important it was to her. That was how much he meant to her. Never said a word about the kiss, about the time on the cliff. Nothing.

--

End of flashbacks.

Then the bad memories hit her, making her cringe in the air as she was slowly descending into the abiss beneath her.

Flashbacks.

"I. Dont. Like. You. Sakura!" Sasuke yelled at her. She just stood there taking his fury, with her fist clenched and tears pouring down her face.

"Sasuke-kun."


"No! Stop! Don't say fucking 'Sasuke-kun' Sakura! Were are teammates. Nothing. Else!" he walked away.

--

"Sasuke. Sasuke-kun!" She called as she noticed him on the sidewalk.

He rolled his eyes and stopped, still silent.

"Hey do you..."

"No."

"Maybe la-.."

"No." he left her.

--

"Sasuke, you are suppose to do it this way." Naruto said demonstrationing the correct way to do it.


He didn't pay attention though.

"Sasuke-teme, WATCH!!" He screamed.

"Naruto," Sakura chimed in, "THIS, is the right way to do it."

"No its-...Oh yeah, I guess it is." He laughed.

"Your both wrong." Sasuke said, breaking his silent barrier.

They turned and faced him.

"Sakura-chan is smarter than you ass, she's right!" Naruto defended.

"Shut up dobe, I know what I am doing!"

"Yeah, whatever." he mumbled.

"Sasuke," she interuppted shyly, "I think I'm right, I studied this and-"

"Sakura. Your annoying."

She was silent.

--

"Dont go!"

Silence.

"Sasuke!"

She grabbed his arm attempting to hold him back, he didn't turn, he didn't speak a word.

"Please." she pleaded. "Stay."

Utter silence.

"Sasuke."

"Go away." He said sternly.

"Please."

He flashed around and hit her pressure point on the back of her neck, "I'm going."

He was suppose to come back. Now he can't.

--

End of flashbacks.

They stopped soon after that one. The memories, as they were to her now. Only bits-and-pieces of them scattered through out her mind. She was falling faster now, her hair flying straight up and her robe following her hair. She closed her eyes, she was just like a bird now.

Soaring.

Flying.

No cares.

No worries.

Nothing.

Until something caught her in the air that is. Then she was still, everything rushing back to her.
