The tears that we shed

Sasuke wandered down the lonely streets of Kohana. He stared at the ground, feeling guilt and pain.

As the wind blew, it blew the sound of Sakura's giggling voice into his ears. Sasuke buried his head into his jacket collar.

She was always there, no matter what. At first, he couldn't get away from her, now he wished she were here.

----Flashback-----

Sasuke leaped forward, no one could stop him now! Itachi was within the blade's reach.

A flash of pink, Itachi's smirking face, a feeling of guilt.

Blood rushed down Sakura's back.

Sasuke watched as Itachi lept off, chuckling at Sasuke's weakness.

"Sasuke, what-" Naruto ran up, then saw Sakura's limp body.

Tears threatened to fall from Sasuke's eyes. He sighed shakily.

Sasuke bent down and gently kissed Sakura's cheek.

Sakura began to silently cry. "Finally. I love you, Sasuke."

The words were so soft, so delicate, as though with one harsh word like 'whatever' would break them apart.

Sasuke softly sobbed into Sakura, "I love you, too, Sakura."

He wanted to share their last moments together, never supposed to end.

----End flashback----

Sasuke looked up at the sky and remembered how much Sakura used to love to watch the stars.

------Another Flashback------

"Do you think I'll be one of the stars or looking down at the stars when I die?" Sakura looked up at the black sky.

Sasuke turned and looked at her. A smile crept up onto his face. "I think you'd be one of the stars, 'cause you are one already."

Sakura looked at Sasuke, her green eyes twinkling with admiration. "Really?"

"Huh?" Sasuke quickly hid his smile, he couldn't believe he had said that out loud.

Sakura giggled, looking back at the sky. "Whatever. I know what you said. And I'll treasure those words forever."

Sasuke looked at her, wondering what kept her so attached to him, even when he harassed her feelings.

-----End Flashback------

Sasuke felt tears slowly roll down his cheeks. He wanted her back so badly! But he knew Sakura was gone, and he wouldn't get to see her again.

The thought of killing himself to see his loved one again never occured to him. The pain was slurring his thoughts. Tears blurring his vision.

Sasuke fell to his knees. People looked at him strangely, but took no real notice.

"Sakura..." He whispered into his hands. "I miss you so much, I need you to come back to me."

He lifted his head to a sudden giggle.

Sakura knelt down in front of Sasuke. "Don't mourn over me! I'm here. I love you, I miss you, but you don't need me."

Sasuke sat in shock as she disappeared, her giggling echoing in his ears.

"I love you too..." The wind carried his whisper through the night. No one else could hear it, her giggling wafting through the crisp night air.

Uh...so my rep of sad stories continues...even to the happier of them...Sorry to Sakura fans, I thought this up last night and just now had time to evaluate on it. Hope you like it. Fluffy enough? Review please!!!
