Title: Forever is just a word
Chapter 2: Reminisce
Sakura's POV
When I woke up, still, there was no one in the infirmary. Really, aren't they supposed to be here and take care of patients? I looked around and saw a note.
All staffs:
Our meeting today is until six. Be late and you're fired.
Wow, the school really is strict. But how come no one was left here? Anyway, it doesn't matter. It's almost five in the afternoon and our class ends today at four. I hope Ino's waiting for me inside the classroom. I was staggering but I managed to go out of the infirmary. I saw Sasuke waiting for me with my bag. I blushed and met up with him.
"Hey, are you alright?" His worried voice seemed like a melody to me. I'm not a sadist or masochist but I love it when he worries about me because you can feel that he really does care.
"A little. I didn't find any medicine inside. Maybe it's locked up on the drawer" I said.
"Don't worry. I've got one already" he said as he took it out from the wallet that I gave to him as a present for his birthday last year. Seeing him using the thing I gave him, it makes me happy. He really appreciated it even though he doesn't tell it to me.
"Thanks" I said and he gave me a bottle of water to go along with the medicine. He's really prepared, huh?
"Ten points" I smiled.
"I already got 20 points already. Add ten today, that makes thirty. Don't forget our deal about this" He smirked.
FLASHBACK
"Sasuke, let's play. What do you think?" I asked my ever-loving boyfriend.
"What kind of game?" He asked as he plays with my hair.
"I'll give you points for every little thing you do. As long as I'm touched with your sincerity. If you get fifty points, I'll do one thing you ask" I dared.
"Are you sure about that? You know I'll get that fifty points faster than you think" he was really overconfident.
"Would I dare you if I know I'm going to lose?" I teased.
"Game on!" He said.
"Since you accepted my challenge, I'll give you a ten point bonus" I almost laughed. I didn't really want to give it to him but it slipped from my mouth. I was only considering about it but I actually said it.
"Since you put it that way, I know the consequence I'll give you" he said as he think.
"What is it?" I felt nervous as I ask.
"You will…" he trailed off.
"I will what?" I asked.
"Sakura will…" he was such a cliffhanger.
"What?" I was eager to hear what he's going to say.
"It's a secret. You'll know all about the details after I get those fifty points"
"You're unfair" I pouted.
"I'm not. But remember, be fair" he was teasing me.
"I am fair" I protested.
"The result lies within you. You might not want to do my consequence. The choice of having those points is your choice as well. You might cheat on me" he said seriously. Why was he getting serious with our game? I wonder what his consequence will be…
"I promise to be honest" I pledged with my right hand being raised by him. LOL.
"I promise to love you more than ever before" he caught me off guard that it made me blush hard.
"Do I get some points?" he asked.
"Okay then, I'll give you ten. Be sure to really do what you just said" I said.
"Of course I will" he said willingly.
END OF FLASHBACK
Uhmm, when did I give him the next ten points? I think it was when…
FLASHBACK
Sasuke's POV
When will I snatch those next ten points away from her? Hmm… I need to get those fifty points before her birthday comes. Soon, I need it.
"Earth to Sasuke. Why are you looking like that? Are you sick?" Sakura said as she sat down with me.
"Nah, I'm here. How're you?" I asked her. Suddenly, something came up and I felt like it was the right time to do this. I took out the chocolate I brought awhile ago at an expensive store. I did save up a lot of money so I won't be cheap about it.
"Here" I gave her the chocolates.
"What is this for?" she asked while staring at the chocolate.
"Don't you want it? I'll eat it then" Before I can open the chocolate, she took it away immediately and thanked me.
"This is for our monthsary" I said. Geez, what in the world am I saying? Isn't this a girly thing? I learned this kind of thing, thanks to my brother, Itachi. Her girlfriend, Tatiana, a girl from other country was saying things like these to me. Eventually, I adopted it and even told Sakura about it.
"Monthsary? Oh, the thing you were talking about! It's what Tatiana taught you right? You greet each other every month and by the same number of the day you two got together" She said.
"Yeah. I sort of remembered it so I prepared a little something for you" I said.
"Wow, thanks! And with that…" she was thinking whether to give me points or not. I raised one of my eyebrows.
"Okay, ten points" she gave in and I smiled.
"I knew it, you're going to lose to me" I grinned at her while she eats the gift I gave her.

END OF FLASHBACK
Sakura's POV
"I've never forgotten about it" I said to him. He walked me to my house and prepared a soup for me. Isn't he adorable? He looks like he can be a very perfect husband.
"Why are you alone today? Isn't there anyone who can accompany you?" he asked me. My parents weren't here since they are working abroad. And I'm an only child. Sometimes, Ino comes over and we do a lot of fun things together.
"I'll call Ino now. She's not busy, isn't she?" he asked me and he grab his phone and dialed Ino's number.
"Go ahead" I waited until he finishes the call.
"She said that she's going to be here" he hung up.
"Okay" I said and sat down. Oh please, no fever. No please.
After an hour, Ino came by and Sasuke kissed me goodbye. Where is he going? It's still early. I want him to say by my side, but it can't be helped. He's got a life.
"Sakura. I've got something to tell you" Ino said seriously as soon as Sasuke left.
"What is it?" My heart was thumping. Why am I getting nervous?
"I was at a fortune-telling awhile ago. I wasn't interested but the old lady shouted 'Sakura' to me and I was like, what the hell? And then she said, 'Ino.' I got shivers hearing this from someone I don't know and then she told me that…" she trailed off.
"She told you what?" I'm having goose bumps now.
"That you'll die on the 28th" she said.
