Hajimemashite and Konnichiwa! I want to thank kImYuRiandRyu irodichfor reviewing! Arigatougozaimasu! You made my day when I readyor reviews!I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any part of it (cuz if I did; I would make Sakura and Sasuke-kun together 4 eva!) I only own My plot/story!
Summery: It's been 6 years sense a certain someone left her behind crying, and she still can't get him out of her mind. When she is sent on a mission to find him, and bring him back she's overjoyed...but there's a catch: if she can't convince him to return with her... she'll have to kill the one she loves... Sakura+Sasuke
ANYWAYS! On with the story!
Not So Sweet
Chapter Two: A Not So Sweet Thought
Sakura sat by a stream and stared at her reflection in the water. The same look was in her eyes, but this time the look of sadness was more apparent. She sighed to herself and closed her eyes to think.
'Me kill Sasuke-kun? I could never do that...not in a million years...I'm sure Kakashi-sensei, or Naruto could...But I couldn't... I wouldn't.
I would just be in the way like I was back when we were all still a team. And even if Naruto or Kakashi-sensei tried to kill them I would stop them...because I'm so stupid. Why does Sasuke-kun still have power over me? I haven't seen him in 6 years, killing him should be like killing any other criminal, so why isn't it?
I'm a ninja, It's my job to take out the bad guys, even if I once new them. A ninja is never supposed to let their emotions get in the way. I guess I'm not a true ninja...'
As Sakura thought of maybe having to kill Sasuke tears started to flow down her cheeks. She opened her eyes to look at her reflection again. This time, her eyes had a sad and angered look in them.
She stood up and yelled "Why? Why am I so weak? Why..." She then fell to the ground and began to cry harder, and muttered "Why..." quietly.
"Because, you're human" A woman's voice had said to her.
Sakura didn't look up. She knew who it was. It was her shishou, Tsunade.
"Some how I knew you would be here. You always come to this field when you want to think, or be alone. When you have something on your mind, you always stare into that stream. My student, please tell me what bothers you. You should be getting ready." Tsunade said to Sakura.
Sakura just stared at the water in silence. She then saw a cherry blossom fall into her reflection. She stared at it for a minute, and then looked up across the river to see a cherry tree in full bloom. Why couldn't she be strong like that tree which she was named after?
Sakura sighed and then turned to her master. "Tsunade-shishou, I'm sorry...but I can't complete the mission you wish me to do..." "Is that so? And why is that?" Tsunade asked bluntly. Sakura put her head don in shame, and said quietly "...I'm not ready...I'm too...weak...I just...can't..."
Her master walked closer to her and sat beside her, then lifted her students chin with her hand and looked into Sakura's crying eyes. "Sakura..." she said. "You are ready. I know you are, you are strong, and an excellent medic. If anyone can heal Sasuke...it's you"
"But if we can't get him to come back...I can't kill him. I'm not strong enough...A ninja is suppose to isolate their emotions...But when I think of him they run free...I still think of him everyday, and...I can't lock away how I still feel for him...I'm sorry, I've let you down...You taught me to be strong, never let my emotions get in the way...and yet here I am...crying like a baby, and still letting my emotions get in the way of what has to be done...And I'm still thinking of him...I'm so pathetic...six years, and not a day goes by that I don't think of him"
Tsunade looked at Sakura, then hugged her and said "We may be ninjas, but we are still human. You think your pathetic? My student, he scared you for life, it'll never go away. I of all people know how you feel. I'm even more pathetic than you...because I still think of Orichimaru's betray...and it has been way more than 6 years... I think of him everyday, and not in the way you would think...I don't want him to be punished for what he did to us... I want him to come back..."
Sakura looked up at her master in disbelief. The look in Tsunade's eyes were the same as Sakura's, sad and angry, and on the verge of tears. Sakura had never seen her master cry...or even come close.
Tsunade then shook her head and put a warm smile on her face and said "Sakura, I know your ready. You may not realize it, but you have surpassed me...you are very string, you can do this."
"But...my emotions..." Sakura said weakly Tsunade only smiled wider and told her "Emotions are what is needed for this mission. Sasuke needs to know that he can be forgiven if he comes back, and he needs to know he's still loved. You are exactly what he needs. Your weakness will become your strength on this mission." Sakura looked up into her master's eyes, and she could tell Tsunade wasn't lying to her.
Sakura then nodded her head and stood up. She began to walk away when Tsunade asked "Where are you going?" Sakura gave a determined smile and said "To get ready for the mission." Tsunade only smiled and said to herself "Atta girl..."
Sakura looked up to the now setting sun and smiled as she walked home. She then said to herself "I'll bring you back Sasuke-kun, just you wait!"
Sorry It's so short, and it wasn't very good, but after thay start their mission it will be good! This is still part of the opening. I think the first three or four chapters will all be part of the intro, then on to the action, drama, and of course...ROMANCE!Also I started writing chapter 3 and I promise it's MUCH longer. I'm so happy that I got some feed back, but PLZ REVIEW! and happy reading to you all! .
FLAMES ARE WELCOMED!
till next time,
Bishojo Sakura (5 more days till my B-Day! SHANNARO!)
Ja ne!
