Chapter 2: Sasuke's Letter
His days were the same and they seemed to meld together. They were the same as before but now Orochimaru was his teacher and he was guarded twenty-four hours a day.
Two weeks passed after the big change, Sasuke figured out a way to deliver his letter to Sakura. Late that night, he made a shadow clone to take his place in the room. This was just in case a guard checked in on him. He couldn't betray Orochimaru just yet. He went out the window and ran toward the village. He got there and found that Sakura's window was open.
"Sakura, are you awake?" he asked quietly from the windowsill.
He heard her stir in her sleep. He got down quickly and gently shook her awake.
"Sakura," he said again, "It's me, Sasuke."
She opened her eyes and said,"Sasuke? Have you really come home or am I dreaming?"
"Neither, not yet. This letter will explain it," he replied as he held out the scroll and she took it.
He turned around to leave. He heard Sakura get out of bed but he didn't expect her to hug him.
"No, Sasuke, stay here. Don't go back to Orochimaru," she sobbed into his back.
Sasuke removed her arms from around him and turned to face her. He put his arms around her and held her close.
"I'm sorry for knocking you out when I left. I was determined to go. I don't want to go back but I have to. I want to stay here with you but now's not the time. I promise the next time I come to this village I'll stay for good. I like you. If it weren't for you I wouldn't be back right now. You helped me see what really mattered: friends and family. Well, for me it's just friends," he said.
"It's okay. Just please stay or let me come with you if you go back. I like you too and I don't want to leave you," Sakura sobbed into his shoulder.
"No, I don't want you to abandon this village like I did. I could be caught right now and it wouldn't be good. I'll be back someday soon," he said as he put his hand under her chin.
He raised her tear-stained face to meet his. He looked deep into her aquamarine eyes and kissed her. He half expected her to pull away but instead she raised her hand to his face. They were together for only a few moments but it seemed like an eternity and then they pulled away.
"I have to go now," he said, "I want to get back before dawn."
Sakura started to protest but Sasuke put his hand over her mouth.
"I have to if I want to protect myself from Itachi. I'll be dead if I don't learn what Orochimaru is teaching me but I'll come back for you, Sakura," Sasuke explained.
Then as soon as he said that he was gone. Sakura looked out the window and she saw him wave. Then he was gone. She looked at the scroll on her bed. She went over and picked it up. She opened it and started reading it. It said:
I have deserted my village,
I have forsaken my friends,
Just for the sake of power.
Now I see my wrong,
But I cannot go back,
Not yet.
I will go back someday,
But now I look for a different path,
One that goes off of this lonely one.
I search for my murderous brother,
Itachi,
Who killed my family and his.
I try to go back,
Back to my home,
To the home of my deceased clan.
I try to get home for another reason,
I try to get love,
I try to get to you,
Sakura.
I am sorry I cannot come back now. I have to avenge my clan. I would let it go if it wasn't a person from my clan who committed this crime. I can't let Itachi live while I know he betrayed his own clan. I am willing to die but if I learn from Orochimaru, I can kill him. I'll come home soon. Don't forget about me.
Sasuke
Sakura looked at it and rolled it up. She put it under her pillow and thought of what Sasuke said. He liked her! She couldn't believe it. He never showed any affection toward anyone. He always thought she was annoying.
