Quote of inspiration (second half): "…Nathan: The world is full of magic. You just have to believe in it. So make your wish. Do you have it?
Haley: Good. Now believe in it. With all your heart."
--Chapter Two: Sasuke's Wish--
Off in the distances, miles away from Konoha, a dark-haired teenager sat in absolute quietness. The other members of his team sat a short distance from him—a bit afraid to question his peculiar behavior. The boy had been widely known to keep to himself, but this was even a little too much for him. It was as if something was on his mind. Something that wouldn't leave him alone.
"Sasuke." Karin quietly called out after mustering a bit of courage. "Is something wrong?"
"Hn." Sasuke said as he continued to sit in a pondering fashion.
"Oh, Karin. You just got rejected!" Suigetsu yelled out, causing the bespectacled girl to become infuriated.
"Will you shut up, you jackass?!" The two continued to argue. Meanwhile, Sasuke was becoming greatly annoyed. Couldn't he have one single day to think?
"Enough. Both of you." Sasuke's deep voice reached both their ears. The Uchiha's deep onyx eyes had turned into bloody red ones.
"Sasuke." Karin said.
"I'll be back soon." Sasuke said as he jumped onto a tree and started running onto an unknown place. Behind him, he left a confused Karin, Suigetsu and Juugo.
Sasuke had been running through the forest for the past few hours or so. His teammates were seriously the most annoying people he had the misfortune to ever work with. Even more so than Naruto and Sakura. They couldn't even keep quiet on a day he felt he needed to commemorate. He couldn't explain why, but she somehow managed to creep into his mind—just as it had last year and the year before that.
It had been a little more than two years since Sasuke had left the Leaf. For reasons unknown to him, he clearly remembered the blue-eyed Yamanaka. Why he remembered her so clearly, he couldn't explain. And specifically why her birthday, he couldn't say. Maybe because as academy kids, she had always invited him to her parties.
He remembered how he and Ino would play around as kids—usually in secret. They were both sure that if the village saw them together, they would say and think things. Even worse, Sasuke's fan girls would try to hurt Ino. And even though Sasuke knew Ino could defend herself, he didn't want her to get into trouble. So they'd play in secret. But on their birthdays, they'd openly invite each other to the other's parties. There people could tell there was something between the two, but wouldn't say a word.
The Uchiha recalled how Itachi would tease the two of being a couple. They'd just blush and go about their business: doing homework or training. Maybe that's why Sasuke remembered Ino the most. Because one day that had been so close. But after the massacre, he had pulled away from her. The only comfort he could give her, the only means of saying he was sorry and that he did remember her was letting her glomp him from behind.
Whenever Sasuke had one of those awful dreams, full of murder and blood, he was somehow soothed by the thought of her. He would remember how her body pressed against his back. How warm she had felt and those words of saying she understood whispered in his ears. But the thing he remembered the most was her scent: roses. She had smelled of a thousand roses. Maybe those were the reasons Sasuke wasn't able to completely forget about the blonde.
"Ino." The Uchiha softly muttered. He came to complete stop. He had reached home. He had reached her.
With precise discretion, Sasuke managed to get inside Konoha. He was surprised at how easily he had passed the guards. But the better for him really. After all, he wasn't going to ambush the village. He just needed to do something.
The Uchiha was careful to hide himself from anyone who might spot him as he ran towards a very special place. He couldn't explain it, but he felt he needed to go there. That he was suppose to go there. Especially today, since it was her birthday.
Sasuke finally arrived in the meadow of flowers. This place held so many memories. He recalled that one day he had been so fed up with being disturbed while training at his favorite training spot that he had complained to Kakashi. That didn't help him at all; Kakashi merely blinked at the Uchiha before muttering an, "Oh well," and going back to his book.
But that conversation had not gone in vain. Apparently, the Yamanaka had overheard Sasuke's predicament and decided to help him out. She went to find him that day and asked him follow her. After much persistence from Ino, Sasuke decided to follow the blonde just to shut her up. But in the end, he was surprised.
Ino had taken Sasuke to a beautiful meadow, the same one he was standing on right now. She told him that the place was completely secluded from the rest of the village. And even though it was her favorite spot, she'd be willing to share it with him. After a bit more convincing, Sasuke reluctantly agreed. From that point on, Sasuke went to train there and occasionally met Ino. She'd let him be and focused all her attention on her training—something Sasuke greatly appreciated. In the end, he'd even help her train.
And now, here he was again. And there she was too. Just as something inside Sasuke had told him. The Uchiha slowly walked up to the blonde. Ino, feeling a presence near her behind her, turned her head. Bright cerulean eyes met deep obsidian eyes. The Uchiha finally reached the blonde and sat next to her.
"You're not running away?" The Uchiha smirked as he wrapped his legs with his arms.
Ino sat in shock. Was the moment really reality? Was this really Sasuke? One minute she had made her wish. The next minute, he was there. Just as she had believed. Just as she had wished. Finally remembering how to breathe, Ino shook her head. Her voiced croaked, "No."
"Good." The two teens stood a while looking at each other under the stars. An unexplainable connection was formed between the two. They couldn't explain how, but they knew what the other was thinking. They could communicate through each other's eyes. It had been one of their personal secret as children. Even as part of the Rookie Nine. A secret that only they knew about.
"You came back?" Ino inquired.
"Hn, no." Sasuke saw the sadness in Ino's eyes. He smirked as he lifted Ino's chin with his finger. "Did you miss me?"
"What do you think, jerk? You didn't even say good-bye. And here I thought you cared about me." Ino glared at the Uchiha.
"If I had said good-bye, I wouldn't have been able to leave. I wouldn't have been able to get stronger."
"Shows how much you care about me."
"Ino, don't be like this. I came back to see you. Doesn't that count for anything."
"You know, I should have a right mind to call the ANBU right now."
"But you're not going to, right?"
"Hmph." Ino crossed her arms and looked away. She was hurt even after two years. Sasuke hadn't bothered to tell her he was leaving. "Do you know how much it hurt? I confessed my true feeling for you and then you leave."
"Don't you think I've missed you all this time. All I could think about was you. I can't explain why, but you wouldn't leave my mind." At those words, Ino looked into Sasuke's eyes and saw the truth of those words. She smiled at the boy. "Have I said happy birthday, yet?"
"No." Ino said as she poked him in the ribs.
"Happy birthday, Ino." The Uchiha leaned towards Ino's lips and place a small kiss on them. They both felt the spark within that kiss. Sasuke pulled away only to smirk at Ino's slight blush. It was night, but because of the proximity of their closeness, Sasuke saw the red on Ino's complexion.
"Thanks." Ino encircled Sasuke's neck and kissed him passionately. Sasuke began to lean forward, causing Ino to fall on top of the flower-filled grass. His hand came up to play with her hair; Ino began to pull Sasuke closer.
That night, the two stayed in each other's arms for a few more hours. After all, if anyone saw them, they were dead. But before they parted, a shooting star passed above them. With a smile, they both wished for the same thing. 'I wish we could have more nights like this.'
Wishing as hard as both did, and using the magic of the world, their wish came true.
Mmm….lol I'm not so sure of how this turned out. Sasuke seems so OOC. xD But what to the ever. lmao! Tell me what you think, yeah?? I love your reviews!! :D
