Simply Meant to Be
Chapter 2
An eight-year-old Sakura sat up in her hospital bed. Looking around she frowned at the empty room. Of course, she knew this would happen, her perfect sister had a softball game and their dad had left to cheer her on; while mother took her brother to the mall for a Yu-Gi-Oh! Her mother promised she would be back and Sakura wished with every bone in her body she'd keep it.
Sakura looked at her hands clasped together in her lap, trying so hard to keep in tears. She looked at the IV in her arm and let the tears fall. Doctors were scary and she was all alone. She didn't really understand why she was even there in the first place. Sakura sobbed. She's much rather be with her brother at the tournament.
An eight-year-old Sasuke smirked. He had won yet another card match, his brother would be so proud. He'd been waiting all month for this tournament (which is a very long time for a child). The boy he faced walked away and Sasuke wondered why there were never any girls here. Probably because it was a boy thing he shrugged. Feeling someone stare at him, he looked up.
It was an older boy, around the same age as Itachi. He had messy red hair and chocolate brown almost red eyes. The guy bit the inside of his cheek and walked over to him. Sasuke noticed he was staring at his Dark Magician Girl card. "Hey kid," the guy spoke. Sasuke, even though he didn't like being addressed like that, nodded his attention. The guy got down on his level, looking from the card to Sasuke's black eyes. "I've got a little sister around your age, she really wanted to be here but she couldn't come."
Sasuke perked up a little bit. He thought girls didn't play Yu-Gi-Oh!. If there was one, she might not be too annoying like other girls. He wanted to meet her. "Why not?" he asked. The guy choked up "She- she's um really sick, so she's in the hospital right now."
"And what do you want me to do?" Sasuke was getting a little annoyed now. He wanted to meet this girl but why was this guy even talking to him? "I was supposed to bring her with me until she got sick… but now I really want to bring her a present and she really likes that card" he pointed at the Dark Magician Girl in Sasuke's hand.
Sasuke looked through squinted eyes, his mouth scrunching up to the side of his face. "What's in it for me?" he asked. The guy pulled a card out of the deck in his hand. "You get my favorite card." Sasuke's eyes widened at the card between his fingers. Right there, in perfect condition was his favorite card. EVER. He smiled and nodded his head vigorously. The guy gave a small smile. "You're making a very special girl very happy. Thanks." He took Sasuke's card, exchanged it for his own and walked away. Sasuke smiled at the Red Eyes Black Dragon in his hands. Soon his smile faded as he thought of the girl. He hoped she got better soon. He'd love to meet her some day.
A thirteen-year-old Sasuke sat up in bed. He looked around his dark room with a questioning look. Why in the hell would he dream of something like that?
A thirteen-year old Sakura sat in her closet. She had a small smile as she went through a tin of her old Yu-Gi-Oh! cards. Tears swelled in her eyes. She missed when she was that happy, even though she was terribly ill through most of it, she missed when her life was going that great. She held a card in her hand and a tear left her eye, it was her favorite card. The Dark Magician Girl was kept in perfect condition. Sakura didn't exactly know why but she felt a tug in her stomach.
"SAKURA!" an older male voice screamed. Sakura sighed sadly and put the cards away and walked out of her closet, deciding to go see what the man wanted before he got angrier.
Yeah sorry, I know it's not very good. I haven't been able to write much considering school and such. Marching band, AP bio and a college writing and math class don't give you much free time^^;. Sorry hope you enjoyed this piece of crap
