A/N:

Hajimashite and Konnichiwa! Welcome to the second chapter of Your Guardian Angel! Thank you for those who reviewed!! Unfortunately, I'm a bit sad because there are only two people who reviewed this story. I knew I said that I need ten reviews but I thought that if I wait for 10 reviews, it may take forever. Anyways, I'd still finish this story whatever happens.

Chapter 2: You're One Step Near Me, But You're Still A World Away.

8 Years later…

(Sakura's Point Of View)

I will never forget the times when we always sat in front of their house, beside his grandma's antique rocking chair. And there, he plays his guitar and we sing together our favorite song "Your Guardian Angel"…

(End of Sakura's P.O.V)

The music filled the whole Uchiha mansion. It was almost an everyday circumstance that you can hear them having their "jamming" beside the door of his house...

"Hey, will you please stop singing your 'national anthem?'" cried Mrs. Mikoto Uchiha, mother of Sasuke, who was watching news in their 29 inched television that time. "Your father is sleeping!" She shouted to Sasuke, who was in front of the door with Sakura that time. She was already annoyed at the so-called "national anthem' of the two since she's hearing it everyday.

"Oh, yes Oka-san!" an 18 year old Sasuke answered politely.

Thus, he stopped singing and playing his guitar for a while that time because of his mother's request. He then looked at his best friend's angelic face who was sitting beside him that time. For no reason, he felt his heart beating faster and faster.

Suddenly, his best friend turned her face at him, talking to him.

"Looks like your mom already became irritated to our everyday song, huh?" A 16 year old Sakura whispered to Sasuke that time while smiling sweetly at him, followed by giggles.

Sasuke looked straight at Sakura's eyes.

Onyx orbs met emerald ones…

"How come? You had a very magnificent voice!" The raven-haired guy asked teasingly.

"Hey Sasuke-kun! Stop teasing me just because you had a nice voice! You bastard!" The pink-haired girl said annoyingly, veins twitching.

"Sakura-chan, I'm not kidding! Your voice is…lovely!" Sasuke winked his left eye teasingly to Sakura.

"Oh well... here we go again!... You want to tease me because of my ugly voice, huh? Well... you wouldn't want me to kill you!" Sakura threatened Sasuke. After that, she stand up from her sitting position and ran after Sasuke..

"Hey Sakura-chan! Stop chasing me!" Sasuke shouted while laughing hardly...

"When I chase you, you're a dead meat! Cha!" yelled Sakura's inner self.

"I will just stop when I already killed you!" Sakura shouted jokingly while running after Sasuke.

"Geez…can't accept a joke!" Sasuke exclaimed teasingly while running…

Laughter filled the whole garden as they chase each other eagerly, like they were still those little children in the past. After a minute or two, Sakura got tired. She suddenly sat at the Bermuda grasses of the Uchiha's garden, gasping for air, followed by Sasuke who sat beside him.

"Hahahaha! Sakura-chan! You're slower than a turtle!" Sasuke said with his right hand touching his own stomach while pointing at his pink-haired "best friend" with his left hand, laughing hardly.

Sakura didn't answer. Instead, she just bowed down, gasping for air. Her left hand is touching her extraordinary forehead.

Sasuke looked at him curiously to find out why his so-called "best friend" didn't answer back. Suddenly, he's curiosity turned into worry.

"Sakura-chan, are you okay?" He asked worriedly on his best friend, his hands tapping her shoulder as he looked at her and noticed that she's not feeling well.

"Don't worry, Sasuke-kun…I'm okay." She said, trying to look fine. But it was still obvious in her voice that's something's wrong with her.

KRIIING!!

KRIIING!!

Sakura's cell phone suddenly rang. It rang two times before she could get it from her handbag and answer it. Sasuke was still looking at her, really worried.

"Moshi-mosh... Oh, Naruto-kun!" She exclaimed cheerfully while holding her beloved cell phone closer to her right ear. Her frown a while ago was now turned into a smile. She and her boy friend continued talking at her cell phone.

After a minute or two, the conversation at her cell phone was finished. Sasuke frowned and looked curiously at a happy Sakura.

"What did he say?" He asked curiously but with a hint of sadness in his face.

"We're going on a date!" She declared. "He said that he will tell me about something important!" She exclaimed cheerfully, a wide grin came across her face. "I think he's going to propose!" She immediately guessed before giggling at the thought. A warm blush started creeping in her cheeks.

She immediately got up from the grass where she sat and removed the dirt in her clothes. She then got her handbag lying on the grass.

"Hey, where are you going?" He asked while looking up at his best friend who was already standing that time.

"At my house, of course!" She exclaimed while walking away without even looking back at her best friend.

"Why? It's still too early!" He demanded to his best friend while pointing at his watch which said 4:30pm. "And besides, you're not even feeling well yet!"

"But I need to prepare for my date with Naruto-kun!" She paused. "And don't worry about me, I'm okay!" She said while walking towards the gate of the mansion, still not looking back.

"But you promised that you will watch a movie with me!" He exclaimed as he tried to stand up and remind her, looking really disappointed.

With what he said, Sakura looked back at him before opening the gate.

"I'm really sorry, Sasuke-kun but I really have to go!" She apologized sincerely while frowning. "I will just go to the movie theater with you next time, okay?" She said sweetly before turning her back to him again. "Goodbye!" She exclaimed blissfully while waving her right hand before leaving.

Sasuke watched her every step as she walk away before finally leaving his sight.

"Sakura-chan…" He whispered sadly to himself while heading back towards his house, "You're one step near me, but you're still a world away." followed with a really heavy sigh and a deep frown came across his face.

Suddenly, while he was entering the house, his conscience started to bother him.

"Never fall in love with your best friend!" He heard a voice booming from nowhere. "She already has her Naruto-kun!" He then realized that it was his stupid inner self.

"What the heck! Will you please shut up, man?!" Sasuke murmured angrily to himself as his inner self continued bothering him.

Thus, he was annoyed of his inner self and scratched his head. Afterwards, he just shrugged himself of the thought.

"Sasuke, is there something wrong?" Her mother asked as she noticed that Sasuke was shaking his head.

"Oh, mom!...Uhhhm…It's nothing!...hehe…never mind!" He said, grinning widely at his caring mother while scratching his head…even deep-inside he felt ashamed because his mother might thought that he was somewhat lunatic.

"Aah…okay" His mother replied as she smiled at her favorite son.

After sometime, Sasuke entered his room and lay on his bed with his head on his favorite pillow. He tucked his hands under his pillow and was staring at the ceiling.

"Sakura-chan…"He said to no one while he was still staring at the ceiling. "I love you very much." He continued while imagining Sakura's angelic face, smiling at him.

He then sighed heavily at the thought for he remembered that his one and only…ahem… "best friend" already has a boyfriend and that is no one but his friend, Naruto Uzumaki. He frowned as he remembered her sweet smile and warm blush a while ago while she's telling him about their date, a sign that they really have strong feelings for each other and becoming stronger as the months passed. He really felt as if his heart was stabbed, shattered to pieces and was bleeding to death.

Afterwards, he fell asleep unconsciously because of those overloading data of melancholic thoughts in his freakish mind.

6 Hours later

KRIING!!

KRIING!!

KRIING!!

A very earsplitting ringing tone coming from his cell phone awakened the slumbering prodigy Uchiha Sasuke. He was really annoyed as he felt his head ache. He looked at the clock and was shocked when it said 10:30pm.

"What the…" he murmured, really pissed off as he got his raucous cell phone at the lamp shade's table which was located at the right side of his bed.

KRIING!!

KRIING!!

His choleric mood was suddenly turned into a delighted expression as he looked at the cell phone's screen to check out who was calling him.

KRIING!!

"Aah..It's Sakura-chan!" He thought to himself excitedly as he looked at the cell phone screen. "Wait…why would she call me in this time of the night where in fact she could just have texted me…?" He thought curiously before answering his cell phone, now on its 6th ringing.

KRIIIIIING!!

"Oi, Sakura-chan!" He answered without further ado. "I was surprised that you called me in this time of the night!" He exclaimed shyly while blushing. "What can I do for you?" He asked his best friend gentlemanly as if he's ready to serve her every time.

Unfortunately, no one answered him at the other line and all he heard was sobs... a sob of a crying girl.

"Sakura-chan?" he asked worriedly. "Sakura-chan?!" He asked eagerly. "Sakura-chan!" He shouted on the other line, now really agitated.
