Naruto waved goodnight to Sakura as she walked home. She couldn't stop thinking about Sasuke. She was worried about his 'bruise'. The one near his neck. It wasn't a bruise it was a curse mark, she wasn't stupid. It gave her stomach an uneasy feeling. Her head was heavy with all of the thoughts and questions she had.
She recalled he said his sole purpose in life was to kill a certain man. It made her a little uneasy to know that a close friend wanted to hurt somebody so… badly.
No!
I'm his teammate. She was going to support him in every way possible. Only this… was so… delicate. This situation Sasuke was in. That he based everything on revenge. Nothing was going to stop him. Not her, not Naruto.
Sakura shivered. She couldn't shake the nasty feeling off. So, she stopped, and ran to a certain street.
The only street out of the village. She decided she was going to prove herself wrong.
She stood there for a few minutes. Why did it have to be Sasuke? Someone important to her could be taken away so… easily. Not only could that happen, he would leave on his own will. It scared her to death. She was scared that she would have to face the world without her whole… team. Without him.
Every time she was close to danger, even though most times she hated it that way, he would be right there to protect her. Sakura often felt weak when it came to those circumstances, though she had friends to trust. She was safe.
The feeling of protection and safety around him… that was why she loved him so much.
To her dismay, though, he didn't seem to feel the same way.
He risked his life for her many times, too many times. He was supposed to. Right? He was her teammate; he would get in trouble if he didn't take care of his partners. Right?
Her head began to ache.
They needed him. She needed him.
Then, Sakura heard footsteps.
"Why are you here this late?"
Sasuke.
As soon as she saw his face her heart pulled and tugged within her chest. The feeling was unbearable.
"Sakura. Why are you out this late?" He repeated. The coldness in his voice shook her out of her thoughts. She blinked back a tear. He had a backpack. He was going somewhere.
She swallowed deeply as she asked a question she never wanted to. "Why are you here? This is the only road outof the village." She looked him straight in the eye and bit her lip. That was bold, even for her.
"Go home, Sakura." No emotion in his voice. The inside of her chest seemed to throb in pain. Pang. Pang.
"You want revenge, don't you?" She swallowed another lump. It seemed to be a boulder. "I promise, once you kill Itachi, you're not going to be happy. You'll have just abandoned your friends and village. Both are loyal to you."
"It doesn't matter." Still no emotion. It hurt her insides. It made her sick. "I have a different path than you and Naruto."
"Doesn't mean you have to… leave."
"I won't be complete until I have revenge on him."
Sakura had lost all hope just then. Nothing to believe in, she would be alone.
"If I can't make you stay," she shook her head at this decision and tears flew out. "at least take me with you! I could help you! I would do anything! Please!"
Her memory flew back to what Kakashi had said. "Ninjas don't have emotion. They shouldn't. It would –and it is- a burden. Leave it out of your work, Sakura."
She was a ninja. Though, all in the same, a person.People have… feelings. She didn't want to be the person in the background. She deserved to love. Not to be someone's pawn, that they could control her.
Maybe even to her death.
It was the life of ninja, she was burdened with it.
"I can't take you."
"I would just be holding you back, wouldn't I?" Her heart sunk. She clenched her fists.
"I have to go."
"No you don't"
She heard a swish noise. Sasuke was now behind her. Green eyes widened. He was fast, she knew that. She knew a lot about him. "Thank you." He whispered.
A pang in her neck and all she saw was black.
He left her on a park bench. He didn't want to make them wait too long. Sasuke hated the way his stomach churned. "I'm an avenger." He muttered to himself, trying to sooth his nerves.
.
Sakura was found on that park bench the next morning by some passer-by civilians. She was hospitalized, though went home before the week was done.
Sakura hated to see Naruto so sad. The blond held a fake smile. It made her want to sob. With an extreme amount of effort she held it in before he left.
There wasn't a medicine that could cure this feeling. She was dead… inside.
