My Cherry Blossom Under The Cherry Blossom Tree...
Prologue...
A raven haired boy is breathing heavily for he had just woken up from his dream. Every 12:00 a.m. he would always wake up from his slumber because of a certain dream that kept hunting him for the past few months.
~Dream...~
In his dream he would always see a little boy ... wait, this boy was him when he was younger. The boy seemed to be lost in the forest, he would walk and walk until he would reach the end and see a beautiful garden filled with different kinds of lovely flowers and butterflies are flying, playing around. He could hear the birds chirping and singing their own unique songs, a small pond with a little bridge is in the middle and a lotus flower is floating in it, truly this place is a paradise. In one corner, you would see a cherry blossom tree. However, the moment Sasuke would spot the tree, the little boy will disappear and his attention will be focused on the pink tree. There, he would see a girl sitting under with a book on her lap. She is wearing a white dress that goes two inches below her knees. She has a pink hair and even thought Sasuke can't see her face clearly, he knows that she is smiling on him and she is indeed beautiful.
The wind blew gently, causing the soft petals from the tree to dance around the girl. She would just sit there and watch him. They will just stare at each other for some time until she would stand up, her hair and dress is gently blown by the wind. Sakura petals are still dancing around her and he would see a tear fall from her eyes. When the tear fell on the ground a sweet female voice would start echoing around.
"Please don't forget me ... try to remember ... please,-" these are the words that the girl would always whisper to his ears. At times, she would also cry and beg. Sasuke pitied her cause from the tone on her voice, he could say that she is suffering and in pain.
Often, he would ask for her name or how can he help her but the girl would just tell him to remember her and his promise to her ... that way he would be able to help and free her.
"Who are you? What do you need from me?"
"Please, I'm begging you. Try to remember me ... fulfill your promise ... please-"
"I don't know who you are. Why do you keep on haunting me?"
"Because you're the only one who can help me. You're the only one who can free my soul, please..."
"STOP IT! I can't help you okay? I don't even know you! Leave me alone!"
At this, more tears escaped her sparkling eyes. Sasuke can't take this anymore; he can't stand seeing the girl crying. It reminded her of someone but he can't remember who it was. It pains him every time this would happen, and this is where his nightmare would come. The girl would continue crying and it drives him crazy, inside he feels guilty but can't do anything about it.
"Alright! Stop crying. Please, just tell me who you are..."
"..."
"How can I help you if you won't tell me who you are?"
"I told you I can't-"
"But why?"
"Because it's the only way to free me, remember me Sasuke..."
The boy was shocked when he heard her call his name; it's the first time since she starts haunting his dreams.
"Wait how did you-"
Before he could finish his question, she disappeared and everything around him became black.
~End of Dream...~
Now, Sasuke is in their kitchen drinking a glass of water to regain the water lost in his body. He is still breathing heavily and in deep thought. He is still thinking about his whole dream specially the part where the girl said his name.
"How did she know my name?" he is drinking another glass of water, suddenly...
"Sasuke-kun?"
Sasuke turned around to see his one and only beloved mother. "Hn"
"You're awake again ... did she visit you in your dream again?"
"..."
"It's been 3 months since your dream started to haunt you..."
"I know, and up until now I still can't remember who she is..." the boy tightens his grip on the glass and his mother hugged him from behind to comfort him.
"Maybe it's time for me to tell you who really is the girl in your dreams."
"No mom, please don't."
The lady released his son and looked up on him. "But Sasuke, this won't stop if I won't tell you. Every night, you'll have to wake up and it might affect your health."
"I'm fine ma, don't worry. And if you'll tell me who she is, it will be useless. She said I should be the one to figure out her identity so that she'll be freed. And don't you think that she'll continue to haunt me for life if she won't be freed? And besides I also want to figure it out myself..."
"But Sasuke-"
"Ma, I know you're worried. I'm fine, I assure you."
"Okay fine, you win..." Mikoto gave him one of her sweet smile. She is the only one in the family whom Sasuke can open up with his feelings and secrets, she is the only one who'll stand up for Sasuke and protect him from anyone. "...now, go back to sleep. You still have classes tomorrow. Good night honey!"
"Hn, night ma."
Sasuke walked back to his room silently, trying to avoid making any kind of noise to wake his father and brother from their slumber. When he reached his room, he lyed on the bed to fall back to sleep but he can't. He tried to remember the first night when the girl first visited his dream, it was last 3 months. Yes, last October. Exactly the night after they visited an unusual shrine for their field trip...
~Flashback...~
"Hey Sasuke-kun! Come on, let's buy some charms to keep our relationship strong and happy!" his girlfriend Karin called him.
"Hn..."
"Come on Sasuke-teme! Come with us. Leave your pathetic, slutty girlfriend alone!" a certain blonde boy with blue eyes called out. He is Sasuke's so called "best friend".
"Shut up Naruto!" Ino, another blonde whacked him on his head. "Can't you see we're on a shrine? You should keep your mouth shut and be quiet!"
"Oww... What was that for Ino-pig?" the boy rubbed his head to ease the pain and his so called "great friend" Hinata, rushed to his side to help him up.
"N-N-Naruto-kun, are you alright?" the girl asked, concerned.
"I'm fine Hinata-chan, don't worry..." he flashed his grin again and his face looked like a cat because of the three lines that looked like whiskers. Unknown to him, this girl has a crush on him since the day she laid her eyes on him and is blushing madly because of their closeness.
"Umm...N-Na-ruto-kun..." *Faints*
"Hinata-chan! Hinata-chan wake up! Wake up before your cousin kills me..." Naruto tried shaking Hinata to wake her up but no use.
"Naruto, another one of Hinata's fainting spells?" the boy with a large, no gigantic dog asked with a smirk on his face.
"Kiba, you have to help me Quick! Before Neji finds out."
"You're too late for that..." the boy with glasses calmly said while pointing to the prodigy, who was currently with his "partner and team mate" .
"Neji!"
"Naruto, what did you do to my cousin?...Again?" the Hyuga prodigy asked. He is angry in the inside but he's keeping his cool on the outside.
"Neji calm down." Tenten tried to calm him.
Deadly aura is now surrounding him and his anger reaching Naruto.
"Hide me!" the blonde shrieked.
Good thing, Hinata opened her eyes before Neji could tear Naruto into pieces. Last time this happened Naruto needed to stay in the hospital for some days.
"Whew... that was close." Naruto sighted in relief.
"Naruto-kun? Neji-nii-san? Don't tell me?" Hinata asked surprised when she saw her cousin and his... best friend (a/n: coughgirlfriendcough),Tenten.
"Yes you did it again..." Kiba answered.
"Come on people; let's buy some charms and fortunes in the store." Ino called out while dragging his boyfriend, Sai.
Karin also tried to cling on Sasuke's arm but Sasuke walked away, causing Karin to lose her balance and fall on the ground. "Sasuke-kun!" she whined.
"Sshh, quiet ugly girl..."
"Oh shut up Naruto. And who are you calling ugly?"
"Obviously Karin, You're the only one here who is... you know um... what's the right word again?" Ino asked her friends.
"Unattractive..." They all finished.
"That's right! Very good guys!"
"Grrrr... You'll pay for that! I'll tell my Sasuke-kun that you all are bullying me!" Karin said threateningly.
"Boohoo, she's gonna cry... Geez as if you can scare us with that..." the blonde kunoichi teased "...Sasuke will never believe that even if he sees it with his two eyes, he won't take your side, you know why? you wanna know why?"
"Just spill it already Ino-pig!" Everyone chorused.
The blonde turned her head to see her friends and said..."Shesh, why are you in such a rush? And I'm not a pig!" she even waved her hand for emphasis. "...Anyways where are we? oh yeah, Karin. Sasuke-kun will choose us better than you because he oh so love us over you! Hah! beat that!" she pointed her index finger on Karin and her other hand is on her waist.
"Pff... palease... you expect me to believe that?" Karin said mockingly.
"Fine, believe whatever you want to believe. But I'm telling you don't keep your hopes high cuz if he really likes you, he'll be on your side right now..." the blonde kunoichi smirked then walked away with her friends leaving Karin behind with no one.
"She thinks I'll believe that, Sasuke-kun doesn't like me cuz he loves me with all his heart." the red-headed girl said to herself while flipping her hair. "...speaking of that guy, where is he?"
~Sasuke's P.O.V~
When Karin tried to cling on my arm again, I tried my best to avoid it. Which eventually succeeded. Now, all I have to do is escape these people and find some quiet place to stay at. Because honestly, this field trip is not working. I'm not having fun at all. So when I had the chance to escape, I took it and left them. I'm sure my friends would understand cuz my "girlfriend", Karin is driving me crazy and giving me a lot of stress. I don't even know why I dated her. When I walked out of the crowd, my eyes caught something pink... that's odd how can a Cherry Blossom tree be in its full blossom if it's autumn? I know, it's impossible but I saw it. I was curious so I went near it for a better view, not knowing that I made a very huge mistake because the moment I went near it, I felt something, someone's touch. What is weirder is that, there is a girl on the other side of the tree. She has a pink hair and she's wearing a simple but elegant, white dress. A book is beside her and a smile is plastered on her face. Sakura petals are slowly falling down from the tree and a breeze of wind came, causing more petals to fall like snow on the girl.
I don't remember seeing her there before I came but now, she is sitting on the green grass and writing something on her book... I know in an instant that she is no ordinary, she is mysterious and special. She gestured me to sit beside her but I was frozen from my spot, I can't move any part of my body and I feel kinda... cold. I know it's natural to be cold by now cause it's already October and winter will soon come but the coldness of the wind is different. It sends chills down my spine. I tried to close my eyes and open them again hoping that this is just a mere day dream and the girl would disappear, not that I want her to but she's giving me creeps. Unfortunately, she didn't. She's still there sitting quietly and observing the clouds. I tried to observe her too and that's when I noticed a clip on her hair, I was surprised to see that clip, because that clip has our clan symbol on it and that clip is only given to an Uchiha successor's fiancée. That clip is equivalent to an engagement ring to an Uchiha. I tried to study the clip if it's a genuine one or a replica only because you can't get something like that anywhere and for my knowledge there's only 3 of those and they are only passed down on the Uchiha successors, which means only father, Itachi and I have those clips to give our fiancées. I looked at it carefully but I didn't made it obvious for the girl, hmm... the clip is made of pure gold with priceless rubies and diamonds on it. Confirmed, this one is a real one. Now, I have to ask this girl where she got that cause it's impossible that it's from father, he gave his to mom long time ago. Itachi?... I can't remember Itachi having a pink-haired girlfriend and he already proposed to Hana Inuzuka -Kiba's older sister- so that means Hana have Itachi's. Mine, I can't remember giving it to anyone... wait a minute, where did I put mine? Never mind, maybe mom or dad kept it cause they know that I'm still very young but not irresponsible when grandfather gave it to me. When I was about to open my mouth to ask her, a familiar irritating voice called me...
"SASUKE-KUN!"
Karin! _ _ _ _ it! I paid no attention to the irritating girl and focused myself on the mysterious girl. When I glanced back to her, she disappeared. Nice... now where am I gonna find her?...
~End of Flashback...~
"Urgh! I shouldn't have looked for her, now she's the one haunting me." the raven haired boy whispered to his self. The memories of his memorable field trip made his eyelids heavy then he dozed off...
