English isn't my native language. The song and Naruto aren't mine.
Came to my mind, as I lay in my bed and tried to sleep.
Love
-
Are you here?
Are you watching me?
As I lie here on this floor
They say you feel, what I do
They say you're here every moment
Will you stay?
(irvine, Kelly Clarkson)

Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf
der Vater hüt' die Schaf
die Mutter schüttelt's Bäumelein,
da fällt herab ein Träumelein
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf
(German lullaby)
-
Sakura kissed the sleeping baby softly on his temple.
With the pride of a mother she watched her son, stroking over his black hair, admiring his aristocratic features.
-
He was just too cute!
-
A splitting image of his father, and that made her love him even more. Only his eyes were hers. And that made her love him even more.
-
„Little mama's boy."
-
-
If only, if only...
-
-
As if he had heard her words, her son woke up and looked up with weary eyes.
-
„Oh, go back to sleep my darling."
-
Sakura reached out to stroke his litrtle cheek.
-
„Hush, little baby, don't you cry, mama's singing you a lullaby..."
-
The baby let out a cute sound, which made Sakura smile, then closed his eyes, and soon you could hear his quiet, steady breathing, as he fell back asleep.
Sakura stayed at his crip for some more minutes, her eyes looking at him with contentment, pride and...sadness?
-
The click of the front door ripped her out of her trance. Sakura stood up and went to the window.
There, she could see her husband, leaving the house, his expression emotionless as ever.
-
Sasuke...
-
This was her turn to follow him.
-
-
I want to be with you, even if I'm...
-
-
She walked some meters behind him, sliding gracefully through the busy streets of Konoha.
She saw, how some villagers looked at Sasuke with pity, some even tried to say something to him, but he ignored them.
-
His reaction, or rather the lack of it, made her mouth curve into a bittersweet smile.
How typical...
-
-
If only, if only...
-
-
Now they were out of Konoha, heading towards a bunch of cherry blossom trees, breathtaking in their full bloom.
-
Sakura's eyes brightend at the sight of them.
This was the place, were Sasuke proposed to her. Her stomach still flipped at the mere sight of the trees.
Back then, she was full of happiness, excitement, love.
Well, she was foolish back then, to think her marriage to Sasuke would be like the fairytale she dreamt of.
-
He wasn't perfect.
Neither was she.
-
-
If only, if only...
-
-
Sasuke stopped, right in front of the biggest, most amazing cherry blossom tree.
He stood there a few minutes, unmoving, his fists clenched inside the pokets of his trousers, the streaks of his hair covering his face.
Sakura watched him silently.
-
Then, suddenly, Sasuke bent down on his knees and his hand reached out to caress the letters of a gravestone.
-
-
Sakura Uchiha
beloved wife, friend and mother
-
Some angels are so beautiful,
that god can't bear to be seperated from them
for too long
-
May you rest in peace
-
-
Slowly Sasuke traced every line with his finger, his eyes showing the emotions he could not tell.
-
„I miss you." I regret never telling you how much I care
-
This made Sakura smile.
She walked towards him and when she reached him, she sat beside him.
-
„I miss you, too."
-
-
Too bad, he couldn't hear her.
-
-
„I'm sorry." forgive me, it's all my fault
-
„Me too, Sasuke-kun, me too."
-
-
Too bad, it's too late, now.
-
-
Slowly Sakura reached out and lay her hand softly on his cheek.
Sasuke didn't react.
-
-
Too bad, he couldn't feel her touch.
-
-
With all her might, Sakura hugged Sasuke from behind, as she did so many years ago, in the forest of death.
-
-
„Don't be sad, Sasuke-kun." or else you'll make me sad
„Stay strong for our little boy." little mama's boy
„It's not your fault." despite what some people may say, this is not your fault
„I don't regret anything." you were never simple to live with, but I wouldn't have you any other way
„I love you." and always will...forever...
-
-
Softly, Sakura began to hum the lullaby, she just sang to her son minutes ago, into her husbands ear, while stroking his raven hair tenderly.
-
-
If only, if only...
-
-
Suddenly, he didn't exactly know why, Sasuke didn't feel so alone, so empty, anymore.
It was, as if something, or rather someone, soothed the agonizing pain in his heart.
-
-
-
Sakura...
-
-
-
Because, even if Sasuke couldn't hear her, or feel her touch, he could still feel her love...
-
-
Forever.
-
-
Surprised? Who would have thought, at the beginning of the story, that Sakura's dead?
Anyways, I'm not quite satisfied with this story (was made in 30 minutes). T.T
Review?
