Cherry Blossom Kisses
So I've been inspired by other fanfics of Sasu/Saku, as well as where the manga is atm! Please read and review, the reviews are what help keep me going!
Sakura Haruno was a girl of average height, extraordinary beauty, and astonishing intellect. She also happened to be the best medical ninja in Konoha, the Village Hidden in the Leaves. Her short, bright bubble gum pink hair was tied back in a ponytail in an effort at keeping it from getting sweaty and all over her face, gorgeous jade green eyes narrowed as she glared at the patient currently sitting up in his hospital bed, Sasuke Uchiha. Onyx black eyes stared calmly back into her own eyes, short, spiky black hair slightly mussed from laying down in the bed and also from the slight beating he had taken on his last mission for the villages ANBU Black Ops.
"You know you're not supposed to be sitting up," Sakura chided, focusing her chakra into the palm of her hands. Her hands glowed a faint green as the chakra she concentrated began to heal her friend and fellow team mate. The wounds he had weren't especially serious, but he had been cut multiple times all along his upper body.
"Hn." Sasuke merely grunted and looked away, letting the experienced medical nin do her job. The pink haired girls mouth drooped slightly as he turned away from her, drawing in a deep, shaky breath. She had been in love with Sasuke, the sole survivor of the Uchiha clan, since they were children, but the man hardly even looked at her. He had even gone so far as deserting the village, becoming a rogue ninja in search of power. She had tried to stop him from leaving by being completely honest and confessing her feelings for him… But he had turned her down coldly, completely breaking her heart as she watched him walk out of her life. He had just recently returned, but things between them had not changed in the slightest.
The black haired ninja glanced at Sakura out of the corner of his eye, noticing the way her pink lips drooped into an unhappy frown. He winced slightly, imperceptibly. She had truly grown into a woman during the time he had been away, and he was finding himself more and more drawn towards her nowadays. He couldn't tell her that though, not after the way he had treated her in the past. That and their mutual friend and fellow teammate Naruto Uzumaki, the one who housed the Kyuubi within his own body, was fiercely protective of the pink haired, green eyed woman. Not that Sasuke was afraid of the dobe…. He just didn't want to get into any unnecessary arguments with the blonde haired, blue eyed future Hokage. Especially not over Sakura.
The rosette sighed, slightly irritated. "Don't say I didn't tell you to rest." She chided slightly. Sasuke merely looked away, out the window of his hospital room, focusing on the cherry blossom tree just outside the window. The flowers were the color of Sakura's hair…. He blinked, then scowled slightly at the direction his thoughts had taken. He really was drawn towards her, sometimes irresistibly so. He turned away from the window to look at her, causing her to flush at the intensity of his gaze. "Wh-what?" she stammered, her face flushing slightly. The Uchiha continued to stare at her for a moment longer, then returned his gaze to the tree outside the window.
"…..It's nothing." His voice was cold, distant. Sakura placed a hand over her thumping heart in an attempt to calm it down a little. It was beating so hard that she was sure the raven haired man could hear it. She silently cursed herself for being so weak. Even after all these years, after all this time, and after all the things he had done to her, she was still in love with him. She would never tell him that though, not after the last time. She had confessed her love for him, and was left a broken mess after he rejected her then left the village. The woman looked down at the floor as memories engulfed her. Sasuke, standing at the village gates, looking devastatingly handsome as he prepared to abandon the village. Her, crying her eyes out, confessing her feelings for him in an attempt to get him to stay. Him rejecting her, turning away and walking out the village gates. Sakura gasped in remembered pain, tears forming at the corners of her gorgeous jade green eyes.
Sasuke turned away from the window when he heard her gasp, blinking at the sight of the tears forming in his former team mates eyes. "…..Sakura?" His voice was low and laced slightly with concern. "Huh? Oh!" The pink haired woman rubbed at her eyes, wiping the tears away. "I was just thinking about some things from the past." She smiled at him, causing his heart to skip a beat. She was obviously thinking about the past they had shared and the way he had hurt her. He could see it in her beautiful eyes. Sasuke scowled. He had to make things right by her. Even if it meant confessing the feelings he currently hid deep inside.
Sakura was currently busying herself tidying up his hospital room, straightening little odds and ends and smoothing out the sheets on his bed. "Sakura." She looked up when he called her name. "Yes?" He reached out to her, grabbing her wrist and pulling her onto his lap on the bed. Sakura gasped, startled, eyes widening as she was plopped onto his lap. "S-Sasuke? What-" Her words were silenced when he suddenly pressed his lips against hers, his hands tangling themselves in her bright, bubblegum pink hair as he pulled her closer.
Sakura's body melted against his the moment he pulled her close, her eyes fluttering closed and her arms wrapping around his neck as he deepened the kiss, nipping her bottom lip. She moaned softly, and Sasuke clenched his fist in her hair, using his grip to pull back her head slightly so he could deepen the kiss even further. Sakura shivered, her heart beating a million miles a minute as she returned his fierce kisses with passion filled ones of her own.
After a few moments Sasuke's kisses became more gentle as he slowly pulled back, his onyx eyes burning into her own passion hazed green ones. He had been holding back his feelings for so long, feeling like he didn't deserve to care for the pinkette after he had deserted her and nearly killed her as a rogue ninja; but it was time to confess those feelings, to finally make her his, and no one else's. He had seen the looks some of the men in the village gave her, and he always felt a sharp pang of jealousy. No more, though. She was going to be his.
"Sakura." She stared at him, green eyes blinking in confusion. "Sasuke…?" The raven haired man took one of her hands in his, then laid it over his heart. "I've been holding back from you because I felt that I didn't deserve you after all the things I've done. After I came back to Konoha and began to see you and Naruto again, I came to realize something. Naruto really is my best friend. And…." He hesitated, swallowing slightly nervously. He had never confessed his feelings for anyone before.
"And, I love you."
