Disclaimer: I own not Naruto. This twisted plot I do.
Author's note: There is suicide (implied) in this story. As much as I love Sakura (she's my favorite female in Naruto)… this story really isn't recommended for Sakura lovers.
She couldn't take it anymore. Sasuke had rejected her too many times… she didn't even know how many times, she had lost count after the first year or so. Not that she ever had counted. If she counted then when he decided he really did love her, she would remember exactly how many times he had rejected her and would think he was only accepting because he was trying to get back at someone or something like that. And that wasn't supposed to be running through her head on her first date. It was supposed to be something happy and romantic about him. Just like in a fairy tale. The first date was always happy and romantic and perfect in a fairy tale. And she definitely wanted her life to be a fairy tale. I mean- what sane girl wouldn't?But now- now she didn't know if fairy tales even existed. She only knew fake, cheery acting and death. Right now death sounded pretty damn good. She was tired of acting.
A few hours later Naruto and Sasuke arrived at her house, looking in vain for their beloved teammate, Sakura. Sensing something amiss they rushed up to her bedroom where they found her cold, bloody body, with her kunai and a note next to her. Almost as if in a dream Sasuke walked up to her body, picked up the note and read it aloud.
"You know, once upon a time I believed in fairy tales… but now that I've lived my life I'm not so sure. Now it just seems like something cruel and sadistic controls my life. There is no fairy tale. It's all just one sick and twisted lie. Naruto, I'm sorry I did this without saying goodbye. Truly, you were the only good thing in my life. I guess I'm just ungrateful and want more than just you in my life to live. Sasuke, I have nothing to say for you. Once I loved you with all my life but now it seems as though the only thing you have done for me is ripped my heart out, trampled it, given it to Ibiki to torture it, then sent it to Itachi with love so he could kill it even more. Maybe you'll get a heart someday. Maybe both of you will learn to love someone someday and create your own fairy tales. I hope you do. In the meantime- I'll be watching you. Love, Sakura"
Sasuke stood there frozen to the spot, completely numb. Sakura was gone? Why had she left him to this world? Didn't she love him? He… he had loved her as well…
Naruto choked back sobs as he ran to his apartment, hoping he would be united with the only light in his world, his one true love soon. For now, he would endure this life but he couldn't say he was looking forward to it.
