Chapter 3;
Morning came fast. Although Sasuke was the first to wake up.
He got out of the tent, and shook his messy hair, fixing it to make it look right. He sighed, Mr. Auda talks in his sleep all night long. Sasuke wanted to use his Chidori and strike the guy right in his mouth, maybe that would have been quieter. He rubbed his eyes, What had he been thinking yesterday? Hes Sasuke Uchiha, he didnt give a shit about anybody or anything. Why would he care how strong Sakura had gotten, or how much she had grown since he last saw her.
Fuck this, Im DONE thinking about this girl. He thought.
Sasuke noticed a small rived a few feet away from their tents. He began walking over to it. He bent down, cupped water into his hands, and splashed it into his face. Sasuke stared into the water, making ripples into it as he moved his finger along the water.
"Do you ever think about it?" A small tired voice came from behind him.
Sasuke stood, and turned around to face who it was... Sakura. She was leaning on a tree a few feet away from him.
"What are you doing up?" He spoke bluntly.
He watched as Sakura rolled her eyes, "You didnt answer the question."
He sighed, "Think about what." He turned his back on her, and faced the water.
"...Think about what it could've been like if you didnt leave.."
He could sense the tension in her voice. Everything was silent, the only thing you could hear was the wind blowing. He shut his eyes and breathed before turning around to face her.
"Honestly, Sakura. I dont care."
Sakura stared at him, and she half way smiled. She began to take steps back.
"I shouldnt have tried talking to you. I had a little hope you'd say the right thing for once. Sorry." She told him before turning around on her heel and walking back to her tent.
Sasuke watched as she left. What the hell did she want him to say? 'Oh Sakura, if i didnt leave to do something that had NOTHING to do with you, we'd be together.' Sorry Sakura, it doesnt work that way. He thought. His onyx eyes moved from Sakura to the sky as soon as Sakura walked into the her tent. Was it bad that he didnt care? Or that he thought he didnt care? Was it bad that he wanted nothing to do with anybody. He wondered why Konaha just didnt kill him. Sasuke shook the thoughts from his head. Screw thinking, Im going back to sleep.
Sakura entered the tent and layed down next to Naruto. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. What was she thinking? She knew she would never be able to get something out of Sasuke. She didnt even know why she was up so early. Sasuke hasnt changeed, hes still the cocky, concieted cold ass he always was. She thought as she sighed deeply. Sakura turned her head to Naruto who was still sound asleep. She closed her eyes and decided she would sleep for a little bit longer.
1 hour later.
"Sakura-Chan! Time to get up!" Sakura awoke to Naruto shaking her.
"Were all waiting for you Sakura, i'll be outside the tent." He said then left the tent.
Sakura groaned, her head pounded. She got up, and walked out fo the tent to see the others waiting for her. Naruto took a tent down and put it in a bag.
"Whats for breakfast?" Mr. Auda asked.
Sakura grunted, "When your like us, you dont need to eat. Now lets go." She said without looking at anyone. She walked past them and everyone stared at her.
"Are you okay..Sakura?" Naruto asked, following after her.
Still walking, Sakura answered. "Yes. Are you all coming or not?"
"...but Im hungry!" Mr. Auda complained.
Sakura grew annoyed. She took a small snack out of her pouch and threw it at him, hard. "Eat it then, and SHUT UP!" She screamed at him.
Sasuke stared at her, "Whats your problem?"
"Screw off Uchiha. Now lets go, NOW." She fumed. She had a headache, it was early, and she was already annoyed. Naruto looked at Sasuke as if to say, 'What did you do now'. Sasuke shrugged.
Mr. Auda ate the snack quickly before looking at Sakura, "Okay im ready. Lets go."
Sakura shook her head, "No. Im going somewhere, i'll be back soon." She dropped all her stuff and walked off towards the river where she and Sasuke talked in the morning.
Everyone sighed and looked at eachother in confusion.
About 20 minutes had passed. Naruto looked at Sasuke. "You need to go talk to her."
"Hn, why me?"
"Because your probably the one that did this, not me."
"Hn."
Mr. Auda stood up, "I'll go talk to her. She needs a man by her side."
"Sit down, Sasukes got it." Naruto pushed Mr. Auda back to sit down. He eyed Sasuke. "Go Sasuke, now."
Sasuke groaned and stood up, "Whatever."
Sakura crossed her arms, the wind blew her hair back. She sighed. She couldnt keep this 'tough girl' act up. It wasnt her. She knew it. Naruto knew it. Everyone knew it. She felt a tear begin to fall down her cheek. She hated who she was becoming, and it was all because of him. When she was in love with Sasuke, and he didnt even care. He didnt care about anything. Never did, and doesnt now. She tried and tried and tried and nothing worked. It was overwhelming.
She heard leaves cracking behind her and foot steps. Sakura turned around to see who it was and she was shocked. Why would Sasuke come after her?
"W-What?" She questioned him.
"Why are you crying?"
Sakuras eyes widened, she forgot that she had teared up. She wiped her face quickly after realizing.
"Something was in my eye. Why are you here?"
Sasuke knew it was a lie, but he didnt want to force it any further. "Naruto told me to talk to you."
Sakura nodded, Of course. He only came because of Naruto. Too good to be true moment #2.
"Right.. Um, we should get going." She said as she went to walk past him. He heard him sigh, and right before she walked past him he grabbed her arm. Sakura met his glare.
"..Sasuke.. Let me go."
"What is your problem, Haruno."
Sakura felt her hands tighten. How could he ask that, again!?
She pushed him roughly away.
"You want to know what my problem is, Sasuke? Its you! Everything i've become. Everything i do or say is because of you! When you left, I tried everything to get you back. To convice you to say, with me. But you never changed. You were and still are cold hearted! I waited for you Sasuke. But then i realized you werent coming back so i gave up. I was so heartbroken that i couldnt handle it. Thats why i am who i am today. thank you, Sasuke." She poured her heart out to him, No tears coming down her face, but she spoke to him with confidence.
Sasuke stared at her, shocked at what she said. He grew angry very fast.
"Excuse me! I didnt know everything i had to do, i had to do with you! Sakura, get it through your head, i left to do something for me! Staying in Konoha wouldnt have given me the power I had and have now! I needed to do something, and when i did, i came back. I dont get why you still care!" He shouted at her.
Sakura growled. " I still care because I-"
"You what?" He cut her off.
"Forget it. Forget everything i said, Sasuke. Forget you." Sakura spoke to him, and then walked right past him. Leaving Sasuke silent.
Sakura reached Naruto and Mr. Auda, Sasuke behind her a couple minutes later.
"I heard yelling, is everything okay?" Naruto asked, pulling Sakura into a hug.
Sakura returned the hug and then looked at him, "Everythings okay." She lied, and then smiled at him, he smiled back. He knew it was a lie, but they would have plenty of time to talk about it. "Alright come on, we have a mission to finish!" Naruto annouced running forward. Sakura glanced at Sasuke, seeing he was already looking at her. She then followed Naruto, making sure Mr. Auda was following. And then Sasuke followed.
Honestly, Sakura didnt know how she felt towards Sasuke anymore. Half of her was still madly in love with him, and then the other half of her hated him so much for everything hes put her through. Sometimes she what Sasuke was thinking, just so it would make everything so much easier on her.
But Easy didnt exist in this world.
I dont know if i like this chapter or not. I might make a few changes if you all dont like it. I know its pretty short, but i wanted it to show how Sakura felt. The next chapter will be all about Sasuke. I hope you enjoyed, review please! love you all, xoxo, Kinley.
