Bring Her The Horizon
Chapter two
The Torn Sakura
Sakura was tearing apart, inside she was a broken porcelain doll, begging to be repaired.
But there was no hope before, there wouldn't be any now.
Sakura wanted today to be like any other, fake it out like the others, but today was different. She would remain quiet and focused, she would stop arguing with the blonde just for today in order to avoid any
suspicion later on.
She sighed, leaning over the periphery of the bridge carelessly, her eyes dropped closed deep in thought.
Sasuke's chakra interrupted her again, it was hot and flowing around him, she couldn't help but notice it.
Sakura coughed inaudibly, resetting her thoughts all over.
Her arm slipped off the rail, as her wound collided against the hard metal, she skidded around her spot to hide the marks on her skin when the sleeve lifted.
Too bad, red started to stain her white sleeve and soak through, leaking over the ground. She heard Sasuke's footsteps approaching, not something she wanted. Shit!
Sakura hid her arm behind her, averting her eyes from him, she bit her bottom lip.
"You should get that healed up, might get infected." Sasuke gripped her arm and attempted to pull up her sleeve. Sakura jerked her arm away quickly and stepped back from him, a nervous lump formed on her
throat.
"I-I know, it's just a small cut. It'll h-heal on its own." She mumbled.
Sasuke didn't push it, he knew there was a larger wound under there but the dark-haired boy said to himself that this was not his business. The female was smart, he knows that, and if she says a wound like
that-he had sensed-was no big deal, then he would back off and let her deal with it. Tch.
Sasuke leaned back over the rail, the early morning breeze carrying his dark hair over his face. Sakura blushed, looking away from his handsome face, she almost tucked a lock of pink hair behind her ear,
forgetting about the bruise she was trying to hide yet again.
The wound was still bleeding, albeit her efforts to squeeze it and stop the blood from flowing out, the wound leaked more fluid. Oh, God damn.
Sakura had to do something, for all she knows she could bleed to death on the spot.
Sasuke's gaze fell upon hers, his eyes widened greatly and his lips opened in a small gasp. Sakura stared in confusion, she had never seen him like this, neither had she-
Her head was swelling up, she felt it like a force of wind bulging inside her brain and the pain kicked in, dizzying her out and making everything look so blurry…
She outlined Sasuke's arms coming towards her, however, Sakura hadn't known why.
"That wound was already there before she already came to the bridge Lord Hokage, she looked rather pale and her actions were quite abnormal." Sasuke explained, his arms crossed over his chest. I can't
believe I'm doing all this talking.
What did he expect? He was the only witness!
"Ok, you may leave now boy." The old man sighed and watched Sasuke leave.
"Hn." The door clicked shot.
Kakashi, who was standing right beside him, decided to tuck his book in his back pocket.
"Your student bein' a burden to ya?" The Third asked gravely.
"Yes, but not negatively sir." Kakashi responded seriously, hands shoved in his pockets.
"What have you decided Kakashi?"
"We wait."
Sasuke walked out of the Hokage towers finally, he had heard Kakashi and the Third talking about something that shook a never inside him.
Sure, he knew Sakura was weak at times but it was not her fault. She was not very experienced either. And when he and Naruto always had the first hand and start taking their enemies out while she stands
in the background, he could see the depressed look she gives… she felt left out. What did this mean then?
Kakashi had said; 'we wait.' Those two words could only mean one thing.
Sasuke debated as he looked at the roads…
North to his home…
South to the hospital…
Sasuke sighed, he sure did not want to do this.
"Which room may I find Haruno Sakura?" Sasuke asked apathetically.
"Awe! Suck a kawaii boy! Oh, and that hair!" Girls and nurses started to squeal around him and attempt to pinch his cheeks.
Sasuke wanted nothing but sent a fireball scorching their asses.
"Just tell me which room." He glared.
The girls did not stop their squeals and flashy grins.
"She your girlfriend?" They cooed simultaneously.
"Hn." Sasuke turned to leave, if that was how these people acted everyday, he would rather die on the battlefield than being carried here to be taken care off by those things.
"Ok, ok, fine. Room 347, upstairs and start to the right."
"Hn."
The brunette wanted his thanks by the way, she groaned and resisted giving him the middle finger behind his back. We all know he would've known anyways.
350...
349..
348...
Sasuke counted mentally as he slowly dragged himself to the right room.
I could be training instead of visiting this annoying girl. Hn.
But he didn't, did he.
Sasuke passed 348 and reached 347... Finally.
He did not even bother knocking, the raven-haired boy let himself in gladly. How rude!
The first thing he noticed was… Her chest!
"Oh My God!" She pulled the covers up to her chin, her face flushed tenfold.
Sasuke had already slammed the door behind him, averting his eyes from her embarrassed ones. He could feel the blush creeping up his neck to flush his cheeks.
Her chest… flat and so…
There were red blotches, he saw those in a matter of seconds, he did not know whether it was some sort of allergy or it was naturally part of her. But he saw a part of a female he has never seen before.
He mentally slapped himself for thinking of that.
Sasuke gritted his teeth instead and faced the door.
Sakura, on the other hand, felt like ripping her head from the base of her neck and disappear forever… But she had always wanted to do that anyways.
She fumbled into a large gown, squeezing herself between the sheets.
What's Sasuke-kun doing here? Her inner screeched with large white eyes.Don't worry about that. What is father going to do to us when we get back? God, he hates it when we're at the hospital.
Sakura started to panic inwardly, sweat poured from her brow, yet the temperature in the room was very normal.
She gave a quick glance to the object of her affection, his back faced her, she thought he was slightly embarrassed by seeing her like this… half naked.
"Y-you can turn around now." She murmured, squeezing the sheets harder against her clothed form.
"Hn." Sasuke turned around to face her, his dark eyes boring into her green ones.
What is he doing here? I hope he didn't see our scars.
Sasuke stood directly in front of her, with no expression on his face.
Her small white hospital bed felt too small now, she wanted to shrink in it, shrink away from his hard gaze. "You ok?" Sasuke asked, his eyes never leaving hers.
Sakura gulped the lump forming in her throat and nodded.
Suddenly, he gripped her arm tightly and pulled her face up to look at him.
"What have you done to yourself?" He narrowed his eyes, his lips hidden by the high collared shirt he wore with the Uchiha fan gracefully imprinted on the back.
Unlike me, he deserves to wear his clan symbol on his back.
The threads around her arms throbbed, she almost felt like thrashing around just to get his burning touch off her… it was scaring her.
"W-what are you doing?" She panicked, her face lost all colors when she felt his fingers tracing her arm, sliding across the wound. She bit her lip nervously at his actions, she was never this close to him before
and for him, Sasuke, to touch her this way made her want to crawl away from him and hide forever.
No one but her and her father had seen this bruise. Not even her mother.
She hoped he wouldn't make any serious resolution about it.
"Hn. You should be more careful, you're weighing on us."
It was like a knife thrust straight into her heart, twisting the organ until it was ripped apart. She was a burden yet again, and to think that Sasuke was here because he cared.
Sakura was torn.
Poor Sakura, but i got big plans for her.
