My Point of View
"The new patient is so dreamy!" one of the nurses squealed while peering into one of the rooms. Inside was the demon lord himself...Uchiha Sasuke. He was brought here to the hospital when a bunch of people found him lying unconscious in the middle of the road. Someone actually almost ran him over with their car! They stopped just inches away from his body. After running a bunch of tests to see what was really wrong with him, nothing came up. Did he pass out from sheer exhaustion? Because he definitely wasn't drunk. There wasn't a single drop of alcohol, or drugs for that matter, found in his system. It was even safe to say that this random guy was perfectly healthy. But who was he? No one even knew of his name since he didn't have any identification on him whatsoever.
The nurse was soon pulled back by the collar of her jacket, along with the others who were standing alongside her. She was about to open her mouth to retort but stopped dead in her tracks. It was one of the best doctors here in Konoha...Haruno Sakura. She was only taught by the very best, Tsunade. When the two worked together, they were unstoppable. And oh you definitely didn't want to get in their way once they were in the zone! People have found that one out the hard way. She had waist-long pink hair with bangs that framed her face, and emerald green eyes. Her strange colored hair was currently pulled up into a high ponytail since it usually got in the way when she worked.
Sakura placed a hand on her hip and raised an eyebrow at them. "Are you stalking my patient?" she calmly asked. Although deep down she had the strong urge to hit every one of them alongside the head. All of them quickly shook their heads and took a step back, fearing she was going to do exactly that. "N-no Sakura-san! We are uh...just..." "We can't help it okay? He's just so...so...so hot!" another nurse cut in while gazing through the window now. The doctor's gaze drifted over to the sleeping man and just blinked a few times. Even she found herself staring at him here and there. How could you not? He was simply gorgeous! But what she wanted to know, was...what color were his eyes? What did his voice sound like? Was it deep and sexy? "..."
She awkwardly cleared her throat, trying to push those thoughts out of her mind. As if she wanted to become her former self. Yes...the pinkette was at one point, an annoying fangirl towards a childhood crush of hers. But she has grown and matured over the years and doesn't even like the guy anymore. Well...they're still friends at least. He considers her to be a sister, and she considers him to be a brother. Although they haven't really talked to each other ever since she became a doctor. They were both just too busy to see each other. They had their own lives to live! Last she heard though, he was engaged to his girlfriend of three years.
Oh how Sakura wanted to be in a relationship! She's never had a boyfriend before, and always wondered what it was like to be loved like that. To have her first kiss...to lose her virginity to someone special...but people picked on her way too much growing up because of her high forehead. And so this caused her to basically hate her appearance, even though she was truly a strong and beautiful woman! It even got to the point where she honestly believed that she was going to die alone...never getting married and having children of her own. But it's not like she was desperate to find anyone at the moment. No way was she going to find some random guy online or have her friends hook her up. That just sounded too strange to her.
Stepping inside the room and shutting the door behind her, Sakura walked over to the man and began with checking everything that was hooked up to him. It seemed like he was still doing pretty good. Her delicate fingers brushed aside those dark locks of hair, exposing more of his face. Why was there absolutely no one here for him? Surely someone's wondering where he is...worried that something happened to him. Or was it possible that he was alone? Normally you have friends or family in the waiting room. And it's not like he was that old either. Heck...he looked about the same age as Sakura! Maybe like a year or two older. But still...that meant he was in his early twenties.
"Everyone is asking so many questions about you..." the pinkette sighed. It seemed like everyone in the hospital was talking about the raven haired male. Some even tried to sneak in to either touch his dark hair or soft pale skin. But there was always too many people around, and they were just too afraid to get caught. Especially by either Sakura or Tsunade. "I wonder where you're from. Never seen you around here before..." Konoha was a pretty large city after all. So it's not like she knew every single person here. It was just strange that not even a single person knew who he was though. This only bothered her even more as time passed on. Oh how she wanted to know! He was definitely Japanese though. So it's not like he's from another country or anything.
Sakura grabbed a nearby chair and sat down beside him, crossing her leg over the other as she leaned back. But when she went to look back at him, her eyes had locked onto a pair of onyx colored ones. They just blankly stared right back at her, not uttering a single word. This caused her to flinch in her seat and drop her clipboard onto the floor. The look he was giving her...it was so strange. If his chest wasn't moving with each breath he took, she would assume that he was dead...because he wasn't even blinking. "U-um...I see you're finally awake..." she nervously said.
'What the heck is he looking at...?'
She tucked a strand of the pink hair behind her ear. "I'm guessing you're not much of a talker, huh?" "..." The atmosphere was pretty uncomfortable now as they just sat there in silence for a while. What was she supposed to say?! Never had she thought it would be like this. Could he even speak? It didn't seem like it. And so she stood back up and motioned for him to open his mouth. "Do you have a sore throat?" she asked. But no matter how hard she tried, he just wouldn't cooperate with her. His mouth was tightly closed as he moved away from her, practically laying on the very edge of the bed.
This caused her to sigh heavily in annoyance and roll her eyes. "What's your name at least?" she mumbled. Okay so this guy was pretty attractive. But boy was he getting on her nerves! His eyes narrowed as they scanned the room, as if confused to where he was at. "Uchiha Sasuke. Is this...Earth?" "...What? I'm pretty sure you didn't hit your head when you fell. I checked..." she frowned deeply. So that's his name then? It was pretty cool to be honest. She liked it! "Okay Sasuke-san...where are you from?" He sat up from his bed and darkened his glare. "You will approach me as Sasuke-sama. I am the great demon lord of hell. And I will destroy all of you humans while I'm up here..." he threatened lowly. "..."
'Okay. Did all of my tests fail or something? I thought he wasn't on anything...'
Sakura's entire body twitched. Her patience with this guy was running low right now. "You can stop with the jokes now Sasuke-san. I'm trying to be serious here and help you out. And yet here you are saying what...that you're supposed to be Satan or something? You sure don't look like it." she jabbed at his head pretty hard. "Where are your horns then? Your claws and ugly teeth?" she continued. He only swatted her hand away, reaching up to touch his head. His tongue ran over his teeth while his eyes drifted down to his hands. Well damn she was right. His demonic features were completely gone. Did this mean his powers were as well? He gazed at the door as he tried to light it on fire. But...nothing happened.
So Konan really did send him to Earth to live as a human after all. No wonder this chick thought he was crazy. Sasuke cursed a bunch of times under his breath as he fought back the urge to punch a hole in the wall. "...I was kidding. I'm obviously not Satan." "I know you idiot. Now would you please tell me where you're from?" "I...don't know? I can't remember anything." he lied. Times were different from back then. And he was pretty sure that the place he was born and raised in no longer existed. Sakura's head slowly tilted to the side. "You have some memory loss? I was hoping you wouldn't have any of that. I guess we won't get to know more about you then. You're pretty popular around here." she chuckled.
Sasuke raised an eyebrow at her. "Popular...?" He couldn't understand why he would be. It's not like he's spoken to any of these people. Curious, he pressed a hand to his chest to feel the slight pounding inside of it. Was this...his heart? It's been far too long since he's had such a feeling. Even his skin felt warm as the blood ran through his veins. He was alive once again! It was just as Konan said it would be. He looked out the window and just glared up at the sky. Did this mean she was destroying hell at this very moment? Surely she couldn't do it all on her own. Who else was helping her out then?
"Does this mean you don't have a place to stay?" Sakura asked, breaking him from is train of thought. He slowly looked back at her and shook his head. Where would he even go in a world he knew absolutely nothing of? Cars...technology...and even food. Oh how lost he was going to be. How the heck was he supposed to survive like this?! "You know...I do have a spare room at my place. I bought it thinking I was going to have a roommate, but she backed out at the last minute. I know you're not supposed to trust people so easily, but I know I can handle my own." she winked, giving her arm a slight squeeze as if to emphasize how strong she was. The Uchiha just looked at her strangely when she did this. As if she was stronger than him! He believed that men were much stronger than women.
But oh how wrong he was about this one...
How could Sasuke deny such an offer? He'll be able to actually live somewhere and get the food he will need in order to stay alive. "Hn. You were pretty quick to give me such an offer..." "I like to help people when they have nowhere else to go. I'm one of those people who go around handing out food to the homeless. They all know who I am and always look forward to seeing me..." she smiled. Giving them money would just be too risky, since they could so easily spend it on liquor and drugs. That does happen quite often unfortunately. Her eyes softened as she reached out to lightly touch his shoulder. "I'll help you get a job so that you can earn enough money to find your own place. You're...not exactly clean either..." she muttered.
There were dirt spots all over Sasuke's skin, and his hair was even a bit greasy. Not to mention the smell that was coming from him. Was he living in a sewer or something? "So your clothes...were you cosplaying or something? Because those are seriously outdated." "...What's cosplaying?" "You're kidding right? If you don't know what that is, then why are you wearing this?" she asked while pulling them out of a bag that was lying on a nearby table. He looked up at a strange box type thing that was hanging from the ceiling in which showed people talking from it. They all wore clothing he wasn't familiar with. What the heck was that thing even? "I have memory loss, remember? As if I can remember why I wore such clothing..." he scoffed.
"Right. Okay then..." Sakura sighed, folding them up and placing them back into the bag. She set it down at the foot of his bed. This guy was definitely a strange one. He seemed to be confused about a lot of things. It was as if he didn't know a single thing that was going on right now. Her eyes strayed on him for another minute, before finally looking away. Why did she want to help this guy out so badly? Never had she offered up one of the homeless to stay in her home for a while. So what made him different then the others? Was it his appearance? No. It definitely wasn't that. But what...? she couldn't put her finger on it.
Konan was lying down on one of the clouds as it drifted over the city of Konoha. She couldn't help but peer inside a certain window in the largest hospital here in Japan. Inside, she could see Satan himself talking to a very beautiful woman. Her plan wasn't to torment Sasuke by forcing him to live here on Earth. No...it was to give him another chance at life since his first one didn't turn out so great. Why? Because she strongly believed in second chances. If things turn out the way she wants them to, then he won't die and become the evil person he currently is. What this guy needs is love and affection! Someone to help take care of him and be there for him. And who was this certain someone going to be? The pinkette herself...Sakura.
Sakura has attended many of her friends' weddings and even child births. They were all moving on with their lives and starting families of their own, while she was stuck spending all of her free time alone. That's why she took up so many extra shifts. It was to help keep her mind off of it all. Deep down inside, she was truly jealous of all of her friends. They were all so happy, unlike her. And she so desperately wanted that. But she just couldn't find the right one to spend the rest of her life with. And so Konan decided to help her out a bit. Sure her and Sasuke won't really get along at first. But now he has a living beating heart! Which means he'll be capable of feeling now. And who knows. Maybe they'll fall for each other...
'He'll owe me a huge thank you then if this does work out...'
"Are you stalking my son?" a voice was heard. She turned her head to the side and saw that Mikoto was sitting right next to her, also gazing through the window. Her orange eyes softened as she reached out to pat her on the back. "Just making sure everything is going smoothly. I know how much you miss your son, and wish he had ended up going to heaven instead. But this is his chance to turn everything around. Surely God will accept him with open arms if he finds love and becomes happy..." "I-I hope so. My son was never a bad person. He's just been...confused is all. I know that this woman will help change him into a much better person..." she smiled softly. And someday when it's time, he will join them up here and finally be reunited with the rest of his friends and family.
"...It isn't going to be easy though. Sakura is a feisty woman and won't take his crap very lightly." Konan sighed. She had a feeling though that, no matter how difficult...rude...and mean he'll be towards her, she will still try her best to help him out. And that they will just gradually get closer and closer to each other, until finally it develops into love. The two were perfect for each other actually. So hopefully this will all work out in the end. "Your son is capable of loving again. It's just going to take a while is all." "...That's fine. What's the big rush anyways? They're both still so young..." "That is very true. This sort of thing does take time. And that's completely fine..."
And everyone up here in heaven will be watching over them in the meantime. Neither one of them were going to allow Sasuke to just throw away his life again. It's not like everyone got such an amazing opportunity. So they weren't going to allow him to waste it! If necessary, they'll even step in and have a talk with him. Normally they weren't supposed to use their powers to show themselves to the living. But...this was Sasuke. He already knew the existence of angels and God. So it's not like he'll freak out or anything. Well...he probably won't be happy either to see any one of them. It was best if Konan stayed back and let someone else do it. A family member of his to be exact.
"I'll make sure my brother won't do anything stupid..." Itachi lowered himself down right next to his mother and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "I wasn't able to protect him in his first life, and even blamed myself for his suicide. If only I had been noticed how much he was suffering and had been there for him, then maybe none of this would have happened." "Itachi...don't blame yourself for this again. You're not-" "It's okay mom. Because this time...I'll make sure everything goes right for him. He deserves a shot at happiness." "..." Mikoto leaned forward and buried her face into his chest, hugging him tightly as she let out a quiet sob. "Thank you Itachi..."
'You've always loved your brother so much...'
