"Heaven is a place where the mind a soul reconnect. A sort of yin and yang. Whatever your heaven is...there will I be also."
Disclaimer: It's simple. I don't own Naruto. Masashi Kinomoto does. I wish I did though, and that's how it's probably gonna stay as. Wishes and hopes and dream and...
Sakura stepped back from the dark figure. He had a malevolent appearance, and it was wise for her if she didn't take the chance of getting herself killed. "Smart girl." the dark figure said as he stood up. By this point she drew a kunai. "Can you hear my thoughts? Who are you? What are you----" Sakura said before she was cut off with a hateful growl.
"I didn't come here to get interrogated Sakura." the figure said. That voice...I know that voice... Sakura thought to herself. "You haven't forgotten me already Sakura have you?" the figure said, as he stepped forward. Sakura was now in a battle position. "S-sasuke-kun..." Sakura muttered to herself. "Bingo..." Sasuke said.
Sakura could see Sasuke smiling, that much she knew, even if they were in the dark. She didn't relax herself. There still was a bloodthirsty vibe coming from him. In fact, when he brushed himself against her, she tensed up. Sasuke held her by the waist, and whispered seductively in her ear. "Let's see how much you've changed..."
She immediately faced him, out of his grasp. "I see you've changed alot. If a fight's what you're looking for, you've come to the wrong place." Sakura said, turning her once tensed up mouth, into an easy, sexy smile. Obviously...she's changed alot. Sasuke thought to himself.
Sasuke jumped down from Sakura's window, outside. Sakura slipped out of her boxers, into her normal outfit. Her red vest, black shorts, with a beige skirt covering it, and her black boots coming all the way up to her knees. She grabbed her gloves and jumped out of the window.
Not the type of reunion I would have liked, but who's to argue. If this is the way to bring Sasuke-kun back, then so be it. Sakura thought before she was interrupted by her thoughts, from his voice. "Sakura...you should really keep your thoughts to yourself. They're very loud."
Sakura pouted the cute anime-style. Coldhearted bastard, she thought. Sasuke laughed. Arrogant, pink-haired bitch. he thought returning the insult. Sakura clearly heard that thought of his. Stop toying around with me. You won't be laughing when i wipe that stupid smirk off of your face. Sakura thought making sure that her thought was very clear to Sasuke. "We'll see, Sakura." Sasuke said.
She slipped her gloves on. Sasuke looked slightly confused. What is she gonna do with those?... he said as he pulled out his katana. He immediately activated his Sharigan. Taking a look at Sakura, he saw that her once bright jade eyes, had now turned into a darker, emerald. In a flash, she was right before him about to deliver a punch, when he jumped back.
So she's gotten even faster than before...Sasuke thought to himself. Speed is in her favor, but what is speed without control? Sasuke thought to himself. He lunged forward to her pulling his katana with him.
Sakura jumped back right before he put his katana right through her. She skidded back, but Sasuke wasn't going to make this easy for her. He sent large boulders her way, just to test her strength, which of course was a big mistake.
With a single punch, she turned the boulders into tiny pieces of debris. Dammit, so those rumors of her being Tsunade's apprentice were true. he thought. "I told you that you came to the wrong place if you were looking for a fight, Sasuke-kun." Sakura mockingly said.
That made Sasuke twitch. She really had changed. He was amazed at how she wasn't afraid of the danger facing her way, and really, she had no reason to be afraid .She had unhuman-like strength, a hot temper, and great chakra control. If that couldn't get her by, her looks certainly could. Sakura had gained alot of curves and her chest area had grown larger than before. From head to toe, she looked like a goddess, and Sasuke missed it all.
He could finish her, it would be an easy match to win, but he wanted to toy around with her first. After all, what fun would it be if she couldn't even "play" with her for a little bit. Sasuke pulled her arms and pinned her down to one of the walls on her house. "LET ME GO YOU SON OF A BI---" she said before he was cut off by a finger to her mouth. The moonlight shined down on the both of them, finallyl revealing Sasuke's face. His sharigan was now locked in with her jade ones. He leaned into her ears and whispered, "Let me enter your mind Sakura...let me enter your heaven." he said taking little nibbles at her ear. All her concentration had been lost. Fuck..after all these years. I let him go, and then he does this to me...fuck, fuck, fuck!!!!!!!!!! Sasuke looked at her. "You swear very loudly Sakura." Sasuke whispered into her ear. "No Sasuke...don't---don't do this to me..." Sakura mumbled.
Sasuke pressed his lips to hers. Sakura...let me enter your mind. I won't let you forget me. Ever. You'll never escape me, I'll haunt you, everyday...for the rest of your life. I'll be your most wonderful dream and your most horrible nightmare. he said so that she could clearly hear him. Then he finally entered her mind.
Immediately, he saw a flashback, a memory of both of them, when Sasuke and Sakura were still genin."I remember this day..." he muttured to himself. He felt a pang of guilt hit his chest like a sword. They were on a hill relaxing.
Sakura was smiling brightly at Sasuke as she jumped down from the cherry tree, bringing a basket with her. "Sasuke-kun! I got cherries! Would like to eat some with me? It'll be like a picnic!" she said happily as she ran to him. "No." he said heartlessly and cold. Sakura pouted, her annoyingly cute way. "But Sasuke-kun, we're on the same team, don't you think we should spend some time together? As teammates?" Sakura asked. "I said no. If you want to spend some time with your teammate, then go spend some time with the dobe.." the younger Sasuke replied. "..." Sakura didin't respond. She just layed on the ground, quietly nibbling on some cherries.
It was high noon and the two genin hadn't spoken for quite some time. Sakura felt the urge to break the silence.
What can I say...he won't talk to me, that I know for certain. haa...I wish he could open up more. the younger Sakura thought to herself. She was so deep in thought, but then she looked up at the sun. "Sasuke-kun..." she said subconsciously. "Hn..." he said, not even opening his eyes. "What do you think heaven will be like?" Sakura asked. "...I don't know. I'm probably not even gonna be there anyway, so why should I care." the younger Sasuke said, turning on his side, away from Sakura. Sakura looked at Sasuke. "How can you be so sure Sasuke-kun? I mean, except for the fact that you can kinda act um...cold sometimes, doesn't mean you won't go to heaven. Even people with the coldest of hearts can still make it up there." Sakura persuaded Sasuke. "Heaven, hell, a place in between. I don't care. I just know what I have to do in this lifetime..." Sasuke said. And right now I have to kill Itachi. the younger Sasuke thought.
"Sasuke-kun..." Sakura mumbled. The younger Sasuke was now getting annoyed with her. "Hn..." he simply replied. "What's your heaven like?" Sakura asked, looking back up at the sun. Sasuke sat up. "What? What are you talking about?" Sasuke said with an annoyed, confused look. "Your heaven, Sasuke-kun. What's it like?" Sakura repeated. "I still don't get it. My heaven?" Sasuke asked. Sakura looked bak at the sun. It wasn't high noon anymore. "Yea. I think everyone has an inner heaven, a place of peace. Their own serenity. To me Heaven is a place where the mind and soul reconnect.A sort of yin and yang." Sakura explained. I just hope that whatever your heaven is...there will I be also. the younger Sakura thought to herself. Sasuke smiled to himself and leaned on Sakura a little making her blush madly. He took a cherry from her basket and ate it. Hmmmm...they're black cherries. Sakura knows I don't like sweets. he thought as he ate another cherry.
The older Sasuke looked at this memory; the sting of guilt in his chest grew. That wasn't the end though. The scenery changed. This time, an older Sakura was walking by the meadow, with a whitish-blonde hair, blue-eyed girl. Since when did Konohagukure have a meadow? Sasuke thought to himself. He saw the two girls sit by a pair of swings. The blonde hair girl started to swing, while Sakura just sat by a tree and pulled out a book
"Sakura, you really haven't been yourself lately. Please tell me you're not thinking about him, are you?" the blonde girl asked. "How can I not Ino. It's already been a year, and we still haven't been able to get him back. He's been gone from us so long." the younger Sakura asked. She started to break down. "Ino...I love him so much, and he's with that damned Orochimaru. I want him back. I want my Sasuke-kun back." Sakura said through hurt tears. Ino hugged her best friend. "I don't know when, and I damn sure don't know how, but we'll get him back. The whole village is on our side. We have the support of us chunin, the jounin, the hokage, and to hell with it, Sunagukure. We'll definately bring him back, and put a stop to Orochimaru once and for all." Ino said comforting her hurt friend.
Sasuke left her mind. He had to stop. He couldn't take anymore. He deactivated his Sharigan and looked at Sakura. Her eyes...those annoyingly beautiful, jade eyes of hers...he missed her. "Sasuke-kun, how can you say that you'll make sure I'll never forget you, when I never have. I've never, ever forgotten you. The day you left me. The day you left me on that cold, stone, bench, was the day my heaven became a total hell. Damn, and here I put on this tough-girl charade just to make it seem like I forgot about you." she laughed. God how he missed her laugh. Her stupid laugh. Shit, it's just deja-vu all over again. Sakura thought to herself. Sasuke chuckled. "You heard that didn't you?" she asked. "Loud and clear." he responded. What am I doing? I'm softening up towards her, I never acted or felt this way before...why am I starting now? Sasuke thought to himself. He felt something on him. It was Sakura. She was hugging him. Sasuke wrapped his arms around her. "Sasuke-kun, please, don't let me go. Don't leave me again. I love you too much." Sakura cooed in his ear. "Sakura..." That's all he could say. Her name. He loved her, even though he didn't want to admit it. He loved her so much he never wanted to let her go. He didn't want to leave her for a second. Sakura was his strength and his weakness. She was his life, his place of place, his serenity, his heaven. And he finally realized that without her, his life would also spiral out of control into a living hell.
