D: I don't own Naruto.


Chapter 3

Love is…

"What is love to you?" Sai asked bluntly. He had read books on this 'love' before. Still, it made no sense.

Oh well it's the boy in the bed beside me.

"Life, wanting to be apart of that person's every movement, almost like wanting to be that person. It's wanting to be apart of that person's every decision. It's wanting to crawl in their skin and be sewn onto them, be completely apart of them… and them wanting the same exact thing from you."

Sounds more like an obsession to me.

"That's what love is to you?"

"Yup."

"How interesting," Sai told her as he looked down at the unconscious Uchiha, "is that how you feel about him?"

Oh, I really don't want to hear this.

Sakura looked up at Sai and blushed. Her eyes darted down to her lap, it was weird that these feelings still made her do this.

"Or did it change when he left?" he questioned as the room went silent and Sakura thought quietly to herself about her own thought process at the time.

Now he REALLY didn't want to hear this. It had to have changed, no one could feel this way about a traitor.

"No, something like that doesn't change, Sai. It stays forever."

Forever is a long time.

"So you feel that way for him?"

"But it's not love because he doesn't feel that way for me." Sakura evaded the question with poise.

"I think he does," Sai told her after a moment of examining the boy.

Sasuke's back muscle's slightly relaxed as Sai defended him. Why did he care anyway. Sakura was never part of the plan.

"How could you possibly know that?"

"Well for one, no one feels that for someone and doesn't have it reciprocated."

Sakura blinked and thought about how many times he's left her, her heart sunk, she most definitely doubted Sai now.

"I severely doubt that," she told him bluntly.

"Why?"

"Why not? He hates me, I'm too useless for him." At this Sai wrinkled his nose in thought.

"That's stupid, even I don't see you as useless. It's like gravity, the force that draws you to him is the same force that draws him to you."

"Too bad I'm the moon and he's the Earth."

"I wouldn't be too sure about that either."

"What else were you going to list."

"Oh, well, secondly he's awake and when you were talking about him his heart rate flew up on the monitors, like your's does when you talk about him."

Fucking bastard.

"See ya ugly." Sai waved as he left a very nervous, blushing, Sakura in the room with a very irritated, 'sleeping' Uchiha.


D: Cute right?
