[Sasuke POV]
It's spring again in Osaka. Flowers bloom everywhere. The wind blow softly, make me feel calm and a little bit sleepy, but make me feel fresh too. I sighed, while walking in this quiet park. There're some people, but not many. Looking through the stone path, I heard something. No, it's really something. A sound? Wait, it's a music. But where did it come from? I walked, searching where the sound come from. There's a girl, with short pink hair, about her shoulder, who sat on a bench under a cherry blossom tree. The wind blow her hair softly. I walked towards her slowly and quietly, so I'm not disturbed her. I felt like I'm in a movie, in the slow motion scene. She's so beautiful. Really, so beautiful, like an angel, no, a Goddess. She's playing a flute, playing a song (You can hear Guang Liang - Tong Hua [in flute version] if you want. You can see it in You Tube. I think this video is the best: .com/watch?v=gWEqWx1F3uY&feature=related). The music was so calming and relaxing. It's sound familiar, but I don't know what song it is. I was standing by her. But she just looked ahead. Did she not feel the presence of me? Why was she still playing the flute and look ahead? And when I want to take a step closer to her, I realized something, and the music stop abruptly.
"Who's there? Who are you? What do you want?"
She looked a little bit scared and worried. I felt a pang of guilt. I scared her. And you know what? She's blind.
"I really am sorry, I didn't mean to disturbed you, or do something bad. I just...", well, I don't know why, I lost my words.
"You just...?", she's waiting my answer.
"I just want to hear you, with that flute?", I said hesitantly.
"Oh, this thing...haha. I'm so sorry for accusing you for something bad. Mmm..."
"Heh, it's okay. Don't worry, it's my fault anyway.", I said while scratching my head. She chuckled. Oh my God...she only chuckled, and it's make me shiver, and I can't help but gave her a warm smile, although she can't see it. "Hmm...may I sit here?"
"Of course you may! Come here." She gave a motion to me to sit next to her. Without hesitation, I sat next to her. An awkward silence emerged between us. So I broke the ice.
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I'm so sorry once again for interrupted your play. I didn't mean it, really..."
"It's okay, Uchiha-san. My name is Haruno Sakura. I...mm...well I...*whisper* don't know what to say...", she said while lower her head.
"Mm..is there something wrong? I really bothered you, don't I?"
"No! No! It's not like that! It's just...I barely talk to someone, especially...a boy..." Heh, she's blushing! Really, she's cute when she's blushing!
"*chuckled*...I see. It's okay Haruno-san, I won't hurt you. By the way, do you really like that song? Cause you seem really feel it while you play it."
"Really? Well..yes, it's my favorite song. When I was a little girl, my mother likes to play that song for me. I learnt it from my mother." She's smiling, a sad smile. It's make curious, so I ask her.
"So, where's your mother and father now?" She's smiling, again.
"I'm an orphan, Uchiha-san. They passed away when I was 8 years old." Again, I felt a pang of guilt, for asking her that question.
"I really am sorry. I didn't mean to make you remember about it." I lower my head. And now, she gave me a lovely warm smile.
"It's okay, it doesn't matter anymore. I get used to it, Uchiha-san. Please don't feel guilty about it."
"Please call me Sasuke-kun, instead Uchiha-san." I grinned, cause she's blushing when I say that.
"O-o-okay...S-s-sasuke-san.."
"I said Sasuke-kun, Sakura. Not Sasuke-san." I smirked.
"Demo, ano...is it okay to call you that? I mean..."
"It's okay, Sakura, really." I smiled.
Her face now deep red of embarrassment. "H-hai...S-s-sasuke...k-kun.."
I laughed out loud. God, she's cute, and funny! How can this girl make my heart so...God, I don't even know the right words. I just met her. She pouted while I stopped laughing. I said sorry to her cause I laughed at her and I didn't mean anything. She chuckled then. We talked about everything that we want after that. Too caught up in the conversation, I didn't realized that it was getting late. 5 p.m to be exact. I thought that it's time to go home.
"Hey, it's already late. I should get going."
"Oh, yeah, me too. I should go home too." She packed her flute and stood up from the bench. "Konbanwa, S-s-sasuke-k-kun...it's..really nice to meet you. Sayonara!"
After she bowed, she turned around and ready to go. But before she took a step, I grabbed her wrist. "I'll walk you home." Silence that I got. "If that's okay..."
"Eh, sure! Gomen nasai! I'd love too, really. If..that's okay too.."
"Absolutely okay. Moreover, I'm the one who offered it." She gave me a shy smile, then she nodded.
During our return, we just kept silent to each other. We walked side by side. I didn't know what I have to say to her, so I just followed her to her house. The road to her house was a little crowded. Just a little, not really crowded I mean. Suddenly, there's a man who looked like in a hurry, walked fast toward us and accidentally nudged Sakura's shoulder. She just gasped, but it's a soft gasp. So I'm really sure that that man was impossible to heard her. But what make me angry, that he didn't even realized it, or apologized to her. 'Heh, apologized? He didn't even realized it dammit!' I frowned and growled because of that incident. I thought she heard me, cause she just smiled and said, "Sasuke-kun, daijoubu? Is everything okay?"
She's so naive and innocent. Why did she not angry? Or at least, irritate? "It's just...that man.." I stopped, and growled again remember how inconsiderate that man. And you know what? She only chuckled! God, what's wrong with her? "Sakura? You're not mad?"
"Sasuke-kun..." God, help me, how much I fucking love the way she called my name. "It doesn't really matter to me. It's okay, I get used to it, you know. I'm a blind girl after all." She faced me and smiled.
"Sakura..." My heart hurt when she said that. I don't like it, hate it, when she mentioned that she is a blind girl. "But that doesn't mean that is the way people have to treat you. Because you are a blind girl, so it is okay for everyone to accidentally or not, hit or nudged you." I could feel how mad I am now.
"Sasuke-kun..." Her hand slowly touched my arm. "Please...I'm okay, see? Do you mad at me? You sounded so mad. I'm so sorry, Sasuke-kun.." 'She looked sad, you fool! It's because your words, bastard!' I felt my inner barked at me.
"Sakura...no, I'm not mad at you, please, don't apologize." I sounded so desperate.
She sighed in relief and took back her hand. Honestly, I missed her warm hands. "I thought you mad at me. Let's go home then." She smiled again, which is made my annoyance to that man forgotten. I realized now, that I love her smile. "Aa" I took her hand and started to walk, but she just stood there and blushed. "S-sasuke-kun?" "I don't want you to get lost." I said it straight out. She chukled heartily and nodded. We walked home, holding hands. I like, no, better yet, I love the warmth of her hand in my hand. I want to hold her hand like forever. 'Wow, what's wrong with the ice cube man?' My inner asked me. 'Just shut up' 'Aah..I see. So you really LIKE that girl, indeed.' 'I never ask for your goddamn opinion' I got irritate with my inner. 'Dude, that's harsh. I'm your inner for God's shake!' I ignored my inner, for good. Finally, my inner quiet after that. I was thinking, did I really like this girl from the first sight? I don't know, and I'm not really sure if I want to figure it out. So I will let it flow. Times will tell me someday.
[General POV]
After a couple of minutes, Sakura stopped in front of a house, not really big or small either. "Is this your house?"
"Yes, Sasuke-kun."
"You...know it?" He sounded not so sure about it.
"*chuckled*, why, yes Sasuke-kun. I already memorized the route. I know it by...heart and feeling. It's just, well, I don't know, the way it is."
"You're not use a cane or something?"
"Well, sometimes I use it, sometimes not. I want to look like a normal people, Sasuke-kun."
"Sakura..."
Suddenly, the door of the house opened wide and came out a woman with big breasts and blonde hair. "Sakura-chan! God, where have you been? I was so worried, it's already late!" She sounded really panic, and breathless while talking.
"Tsunade-san, it's only 5.35 p.m. I just took a walk at the park, that's it. You don't have to worry like that, it's okay" She was smiling to that woman.
"You could say that, miss. But out there is dangerous and many bad people. I knew that you're not a little girl anymore, but Sakura-chan...what if...Oh God.." The woman whose name is Tsunade, looked sad now. Sasuke could feel how worry she was.
"Tsunade-san...I'm...sorry. I wouldn't do that again, I promise. I will call you if I will be late to go home." Sakura took her hands, and squeezed it. She felt guilty for making her worry.
"Sakura-chan...Oh my girl..." Tsunade then hugged her, desperately hugged her, like she would disappeared if she didn't hug her like that. She hugged her back.
"Tsunade-san...it's okay." She rubbed her back softly. Feeling like he is invisible, Sasuke coughed to make them realize his presence. "Ahem.."
"Ah, Tsunade-san.." Sakura released her hug, and turned to Sasuke. "This is Uchiha Sasuke, my...friend. I met him at the park. Sasuke-kun, this is Sarutobi Tsunade, my guardian."
Sasuke bowed to Tsunade, Tsunade bowed back. "It's really nice to meet you, Tsunade-san."
"A-ah..hai, Uchiha-san, it's nice to meet you too. Thank you for accompanied Sakura to here." 'Uchiha? How can Sakura-chan knew him? She never talk about him to me.' Tsunade was thinking to herself.
"I don't mind, Tsunade-san. It's my pleasure to accompanied her indeed." Sasuke smiled, while Sakura blushed after heard him say that.
Tsunade saw her blushed, 'I never saw Sakura blushed like that'. "Well thank you very much then Uchiha-san. Oh, I should go inside first. Sakura-chan, I will be waiting for you inside. Excuse me then, Uchiha-san. Konbanwa. Have a safe trip to home then." Tsunade bowed and smiled. She has a feeling to leave them alone for some time, so she went inside first.
"Konbanwa, Tsunade-san. Doumo arigatou." Sasuke bowed and smiled back. After Tsunade went inside the house and closed the door, he turned to Sakura. "So..she is your guardian?"
"Yes, she is. Tsunade-san is my parents's aquaintance. When she heard the news about my parents, she told my aunts and uncles that she wanted to be my guardian. They approved her. So now I live with her. I regard her like my own mother. And she regard me like her own daughter."
"I see...How about your uncles or aunts? They still keep contact with you right?"
"Well, sometimes they phoned her and asked her about my condition, and my necessity. But I don't know, I don't really close with them. I was so young when my parents left me and I'm the only child in my family. I don't have siblings. I wish I have an older brother who..."
"Who can protect you? Shower you with love?"
She turned her head to him, and looked surprised. "How...how do you know that?"
"It is...obvious." Silence wrapped them for a moment. "Sakura..."
"I...I will protect you, no matter what. I...will become your shield." He said it half whispering, and lowering his head. His bangs cover his eyes. She gasped, put her hand on her mouth, while whispering, "Sasuke...-kun..." Her eyes got watery. She felt like she want to cry at that moment. She never hear someone say that bold to her that he/she, especially, he, want to protect her. She felt surprised, happy, relieved, and touched by his words. He turned his head to look at her, and a little bit surprised to saw that her eyes get watery. She closed her eyes, and a tear escaped from her eyes, fall to the ground. She started to cry.
"Sakura..." Hurt, his heart hurting. It's clutching. Slowly, he walked towards her. Slowly, he grabbed her arm. And slowly and hesitantly, he hugged her. But slowly, he hugged her tight. He couldn't stand to see her crying. "Sakura...don't..cry.." After he said that, she cried on his chest. Her tears soaked his shirt. He didn't mind it, and didn't care about it. He just want to hugged her tighter and tighter until she stop crying. He then put his head in the crook of her neck. "S-s-sasu..k-ke..k-k-kun..." She tried to call his name between her cry. "A-arigat-tou...doumo arigatou..." Then she sobbed.
She cried her heart out loud to him, on his chest. Sasuke then realized, that this girl, who crying her heart out loud to him, is very fragile inside. She looks happy and cheerful, likes to smile, so naive and innocent, but on the inside, she is very fragile and broken.
Couple of minutes passed by, she started to stop crying. Willing to see her face, he backed up a little and cupped her face with his hands, tilted it forward to him, swept away her tears with his thumbs. "Sakura..please..don't cry..." He looked deep into her emerald eyes, it is so captivating, so beautiful. Eventhough she can't see his eyes, can't see how his eyes looked at her right now, he didn't care. He loves her eyes after just one single look. After that, she finally stopped crying.
"Sasuke-kun...I'm so sorry...I cried in front of you...your shirt..it is soaked now.." She lower her head, looked very sad about it.
"Sakura...it's alright. I never complained about it. As long as you relief after that, I will be very happy for you." He said that while stroke her cheek.
"H-hai...doumo arigatou..Sasuke-kun..." A tint of pink emerged on her cheeks. She really look like cherry blossom, Sakura...
"You should get inside, it is really late now. Tsunade-san will be more worried than before. Furthermore, she's waiting for you since you got here."
She smiled to me and nodded. "Hai. Wakatteiru. Thank you for walked me home, Sasuke-kun. Konbanwa, sayonara!" She bowed and turned to get inside the house. When she already took a step of the stair, Sasuke suddenly grabbed her wrist. She stopped her step abruptly, felt her heart nearly stop beating in her chest. Turned her head to Sasuke, she gave him a confused look.
"Have a nice dream.." Bang! That lovely warm smile shot him accurately in his heart. It made him feel warm too because of that.
"H-hai...Sasuke-kun..." She hesitantly waved her hand toward him, not really sure if she did it properly, like, directly to him(Well, you know why).
Sasuke just smiled and waved back. As Sasuke released his grip, she got inside the house. He made sure that she got inside safely, then he went to his home too.
[Sasuke POV]
What's got into me? I just met her, knew nothing much about her, she was crying, and I hugged her, let her cried her heart out loud to me, swept away her tears, stroked her cheeks. Damn! What's wrong with me? Was that really me? God, I don't know. I really, really, don't know. I acted different in front of her, only with her. I never acted like that to my family, to a girl, to my fangirls, except my mother. Did...did I really, trully, fell for her at the first sight? Geez...I'm confuse now! Argh! It's really confusing. 'Relax, Sasuke...I know you can feel it. She's different from any other girl, right?' 'What do you mean? Because she's blind? Dammit! Don't ever talk about that in front of me!' 'What the- geez...calm down Sasuke. Why are you so mad if someone mention that?' 'I just..I don't like it. Hate it to be precise.' I told my inner about what I felt. 'Well, like your thought before, just let it flow, dude...You will know about it someday, trust me.' For the first time in my life, I thought that my inner was right. 'I know..and I agreed with you.' 'Haha, that is The Great Uchiha Sasuke I knew..' I just kept walking as my inner said that. I looked up at the night sky, full of stars, enjoy the rest of my night during my return to home, and can't wiped my thought about one exact girl with pink hair, that cherry blossom...Haruno...Sakura...
