MISCELLANY I

TITLE: WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

PAIRINGS: SASUKE x SAKURA

Summary: "Ne Sasuke-kun, what would you do if I die?" she asked me that night.


Sasuke's POV:

I look at the full moon that shines in the sky. I then remember the day my clan died. When my own brother killed the entire clan, the full moon also shines that day. I was so drowned in my memories but was snap back when I heard her move. I know it's her… I just do…

"Sakura, why are you still awake?" I asked and I felt her let out a gasp. She must be wondering why I know it's her and not assume it to be Naruto or our sensei.

"Gomen, Sasuke-kun. Did I disturb you? You see I can't sleep." I heard her answer and I just fell silent and once again stared at the heavens above.

I then felt her walk towards me and called me by my name. I just stare at her. She was standing in front of me with her blanket covering her shoulder from the cold nights wind. I just looked at her to let her know I'm listening.

I saw her gave a small smile and asked "Can I sit beside you?"

I should have said to her to go back and sleep but my body act faster than my mind I guess because I felt myself nod. She gave me another one of her smile and silently sat beside me.

The two of us just sat and listen to the nature's sound for none of us broke the comforting silence that surrounds us. The silence broke of when I heard her stifle a small yawn.

"Sakura, you should go back to sleep." I commanded her and looked at her tired face.

"I still like it here, Sasuke-kun. Don't worry when I'm really really sleepy I'll go back to the tent." she answered and gave out a tired smile.

"Whatever. And I'm not worried it's just that we are almost leaving in a few minutes." I answered and once again we fell into another silence. I was kind of feeling drowsy myself when I heard her talk.

"Ne, Sasuke-kun?" she called

"Hn." I answered to let her know I'm listening.

"Ne, what would you do if I die?" she asked me. At her question my early drowsiness suddenly left me and I looked at her as if she asked the most bizarre question ever made. She just giggled at my reaction and said "Don't look at me like that, Sasuke-kun. I'm just curious."

"Why?" I asked. "Why asked such a stupid question, Sakura?" I continued.

"It's not stupid, Sasuke-kun. You know as well as I do how much dangerous our life is. Just like earlier when those stray ninjas attack us. What if someday we are going to fight someone stronger than us? We don't know that maybe tomorrow or the next day we will die. So, what would you do?" she explained and asks her stupid question, in my opinion, once again.

Her question might be considered stupid or nonsense but she does have a point. Having the life of a ninja is really dangerous. Having to do missions left and right that might endanger your own life. And back to the question: what would I do if she dies. I look at her face from her pink locks that sway to the nights wind to her emerald eyes that is trying so hard to stay awake.

'What would I feel if I know I'll never see her ever again?' I asked myself and remember how her voice always lingers in my head. I can always here her say:

'Ohayo Sasuke-kun!!'

'Want to go out in a date with me, Sasuke-kun?'

'Are you hurt?'

'I made lunch for you.'

'Sasuke-kun…'

'Please Sasuke-kun…'

To tell you the truth I really don't know what I'll do. It never crossed my mind that she will die one day. I remember telling Naruto to save her because I don't want an important friend to die in front of me. Yes, I considered her important. That's why I can't think of what I'll do if she dies.

I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't notice Sakura fall asleep in my shoulder. I once again look at her face.

'She must have fallen asleep while I was thinking of my answer.' I thought. Her eyes were closed and her warmth envelops the cold air. I softly touch her cheeks and decided to carry her to her sleeping bag.

I slowly put her to her bed and whisper a small goodnight. And once again I'm back staring at the bright full moon.

'Ne, what would you do if I die?'

That question again. After a while I always knew what my answer would be. I look at the girl sleeping peacefully in her tent.

"Sakura, I already know what my answer would be…" I said.


"If you die, I wouldn't do anything…

because…

I'll die with you."
