Okay hey, I'm back with a new story, one I came up with while eating a chicken sandwich. xD Random outta the blue story, I honestly have no idea what to do with the plot, so I'm just gonna see where this takes off... Enjoy! :D
Edit 9/22= Okay I don't know for the life of me, what I was thinking when I first wrote this chapter... I fixed it if anyone wants to read over. Nothing much has changed though, so it's not neccessary. xD Continue on...
We all understand that the wounds can't go away. How long will it go on? We don't need them anymore, we don't need this pain anymore…
"Don't go… Please! I love you more than anything! If you were to stay here with me, there would be no regrets… because every day we'd do something fun, we'd be happy I swear… I would do anything for you! So… please just stay with me! And if you can't do that, then take me with you… I understand now! What it means to be alone, without anyone that understands your pain. If Sasuke-kun left, how would I feel? I'd feel terrible! So lonely… Please… I'm begging you…" A cry resounded in his ears.
Why is she making this so hard for me? Doesn't the idiot realize, if I stay with her, here in Konoha, that bastard Orochimaru will come after her and everyone I know. If I take her, she'll still die. Doesn't she realize? I'm doing it for her own good… Sasuke couldn't help but voice his thoughts. "Sakura, do you know why? Do you know why I am choosing to leave, why I'm so distant? It's because I don't care for any of you pathetic losers." His voice, as he had hoped, came out sounding bitter and awful.
"You're wrong Sasuke-kun… That's not why you're leaving… Don't you remember all the times we had in team 7? How you carried Naruto home, how you defended me, how you looked up to Kakashi to guide us." Sakura, tears freely falling down her face, carried on speaking. "You would never do those things if you didn't mean some of it. No one can act for that long…So tell me what's really happening!"
Damnit… How did she notice…? Sasuke cursed silently.
"How did I notice? Sasuke-kun… I just told you I loved you, doesn't that warrant enough proof for you?" She smiled slightly behind her sadness.
"You're still wrong. I have no feelings for anyone of you. Go away, you're annoying." With that, Sasuke turned and started walking.
Sakura started realizing he was leaving, in the middle of the night, away from everyone who cared for him. Even if he claimed to have no feelings, even if he never came back, she had to let him know, about Naruto's and her love for him. "No Sasuke-kun, don't go! I'll scream and everyone will hear…" She slowly trailed off as she saw he was no longer in front of her.
"Thank you, for everything." A low voice was felt right next to her ear. A low thump and Sakura fell, unconscious.
In this vast and endless world, drawing our own map and holding back our tears, we'll continue on walking, where? To the paradise that is unseen, to yours and mine, our unfortunate future...
Exactly 3 years later, Sakura Haruno, now a certified medic, walked through the streets of her town Konoha. Looking off at the sky in a daze, she headed off towards the hospital.
"Sakura-chan! Wanna come to dinner with me and Hinata tonight?" A hyper active blond man bounded over to where Sakura was walking. Upon reaching her, he realized her clothes were vastly different. Instead of her usual red/pink shirts she had on a midnight-black shirt with laces on the bottom. Also missing were her usual pink skirt with green tights. She had donned black pants, reaching down to her knees. Her shoes and hairstyle, thankfully, had remained the same. Wow… did someone pass away? Poor Sakura-chan… Naruto thought.
"Oh Naruto; hello, no thank you, I will be extremely busy today and I'm also very tired. I think I'll catch up on some sleep later instead. Thank you for your offer though." She softly replied back, trying to look everywhere else instead of her friend's face.
Sakura-chan looks and sounds really upset. Maybe Tsunade-baasan will let her off for today so she can rest and feel better. Naruto deduced, speaking up now, he told her, "I hope Tsunade-baasan lets you off early. Feel better Sakura-chan, if you need to talk, everyone's here." He showed a cheery but fake smile and waved as Sakura walked on. I will find out what's wrong and help her! Naruto now promised himself that's exactly what he'd do.
Sakura now walked into the hospital, heading towards her supervisor's office.
"Sakura-chan! Tsunade-sama would really really like to see you!" A nurse, familiar looking but Sakura could never ever put a name to her face, ran up and beamed at Sakura.
"Thank you," She replied in a flat tone. "But I was going there anyways."
Sakura continued walking on, many nurses and doctors milling around a certain floor or seemed to be hurrying there. Wonder what all the commotion is about, maybe someone died.
She reached Tsunade's office and knocked without her usual enthusiasm. "Enter." She obeyed. Tsunade was sitting at her desk with her fingers laced together. She really was beautiful, with shoulder length blonde hair in pigtails and a rather proportional breast size... Tsunade smiled kindly and then became instantly furious."Those people cannot for the life of them fix any situation." She grunted out.
"Why? What happened?" Sakura questioned. "A man was found close to death and his attacker close by, also suffering mortal wounds." Tsunade replied. Sakura gasped, those situations were always dangerous, you never could tell if there were more of them waiting around.
"That's not all, we have also received information that the man who was attacked, he was jumped by someone we know." Tsunade said sternly. Sakura stiffened and asked "Is it that gang Akatsuki, the one that targets people with special genetics, like Naruto? Isn't someone from this town a part of it?" She asked.
"No. It was believed to be Uchiha Sasuke." Tsunade replied.
Sakura's heart skipped a beat and she was left frozen, staring at her mentor. "That's not all Sakura, he's been captured and he's apparently blind. No nothing on his eyes, he refuses to talk. I thought maybe Naruto might convince him to talk, but I see now you're the better choice." Tsunade continued, "What do you say?"
He's blind? How! Sakura continued to be frozen, a thousand thoughts running through her mind. She opened her mouth to speak, but no sound came out. She tried again, but this time, the whole room started spinning. She raised her hand and suddenly was aware that she was falling. Being a medic, she realized, too late, that she was going to faint.
"Oh no, Sakura!" Tsunade rushed to catch her prize student as she fell sideways.
The last thought that ran through Sakura's mind was: He's back… and I faint. Good going stupid…
