Blossoms Don't Disappear

Chapter 4: Mirror's To The Soul

Sakura's P.O.V:

"I grabbed your foot when you said 'see ya later' to Naruto. I sorta have a question." Sasuke explained.

"Fire away!" I replied.

"I don't know what you hiding from me, but tell me. I know that the dobe knows about. If we're a team then I need to know. A team means no secrets!" Sasuke's voice was very harsh. I don't even think that an 11 year old can even have a voice that is so cruel. And he called my 'brother' a dobe.

"Don't ever call Naruto a dobe. I might make a fool out of him but that's what siblings do. He's basically the only family I have. As for the truth," I sighed it's now or never. He'll hate me for it and maybe even won't trust me as a teammate. That would be hard on missions.

"Stay here," I ran into my room and got the letter from under my bed. I walked back into the kitchen and handed him the letter. He took it hesitantly. I got hungry, if only I listened to Kakashi. I took out 2 apples. Without out thinking I washed both of them and handed one to Sasuke. He is my guest whether I invited him or not.

Sasuke looked at me then the letter," So my uncle did this." It was more like a statement then a question.

"So now you know." I commented lamely. This was old news to me. Very old news.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"How could I? You wouldn't believe me. You'd think I'm some sort of gossip girl like Ino since I'm her friend. I told you now so that you wouldn't get mad and lose my trust blah blah blah."

"You underestimate me too much."

"You put up a cold front to make it seem that you're strong and can't be fooled. Well, let's face it, it won't work on your uncle. If you out up a front that's similar to mine and Naruto's your going to fool your uncle into thinking that one little hit will take you to the ground begging for mercy."

"You're suggesting me to be happy?"

"Yup! My parents were murdered by you uncle too. Am I sad? Nope! I'm pretty sure your loved ones will want you to be happy. Instead of walking around looking for blood being spilt. That never makes anyone happy."

"I see," Sasuke bit into his apple," Why does this apple taste like the apples from my mother's yard?" I paled. Am I not allowed to do that? Sasuke watched my reaction; realization seemed to dawn on him.

"You…you stealer!" he cried like a 5 year old. He's trying to be happy.

"Wha…, "I played along, I felt a smirk coming on. People who know me really well like Naruto can tell when I lie; I start smirking. I've been working on trying to suppress my smirking so that Naruto can't tell when I lie. Sometimes I smirk because I know I'm better than that person or just cause no reason. "Why does everybody accuse me of stealing? I don't steal. First Naruto well, that was sort of different I guess. Now you! What next Kakashi saying that I took his book." I rambled. I saw smoke coming from behind Sasuke.

"Great! Me and my big mouth." I said.

"Sakura I want my book back." Kakashi demanded.

"I don't have your book! Remember when I told you Naruto wanted to borrow it. Well, maybe he has is. Hopefully not." I scrunched my face up in disgust.

"Do you know where he is?" Kakashi asked. I thought for a moment. Maybe he's at Ichuraku's, no he wouldn't read that in public it would've been taken away. He could be still at Morg Road, but no he's afraid of that Sushi kid. What kind of person would name somebody Sushi? Focus, where can he be?

***MEAN-WHILE***

"Chapter 1: Rape. This should be interesting." I mumbled to myself. Coming to Sasuke's house was pure genius. Sasuke doesn't come home until 7 at night. Not that I stalk him… I just see him… walking… down to his house… at exactly 7 at night. I only know this because Sakura-Chan doesn't have any bath toys so I can't enjoy myself. Instead I just look out the window and watch people pass by. If I came to Sakura-Chan's house she would yell at me for having that book in the house. Besides I do not want to be left on Ramen Road for that Sushi kid to find me.

They were following me. What did they want? Who are they anyway?

"Cool! It's about Ninja's!" I exclaimed.

Sakura's P.O.V:

"I don't know why, but it seems to me that Naruto's at your house Sasuke." Both of my uninvited guests looked at me.

"What? I'm not crazy!"

"Why would Naruto be at Sasuke's house?" Sensei asked.

"Because think about it. He can't be on Morg Road cause he's afraid of that Sushi kid. He wouldn't be at Ichuraku's because the book would be confiscated. So then Kakashi would be in the Hokage's Tower already."

"But why my house?"

"Well, Naruto said about 2 weeks ago that you come home at 7 at night. So that him thinking about exploring your house. I gotta admit I am curious about your house."

"So you were going to break into my house!"

"It wasn't going to be breaking in, when you have a key." I explained.

"Since when did I give you a key?"

"My parents were very good friends with yours. Your mom gave my parents a key to the house. How did you think I got the apples? I know it's not very polite to jump over somebody's fence, so I use the key. Anyway my parents gave me the key when they went on that mission. My parents never told me anything about where they were going. Do you know Kakashi sensei? I had a right to know where they went. They were my parents."

"They were assigned to watch over Madara Uchiha at all times because the Elders were suspicious of him," Kakashi sighed, "Let's go get Naruto before he reads the book. I could get in big trouble for that. Sakura you take Sasuke." I touched Sasuke's shoulder and we transported to his front door.

"Wait," I whispered," Let's teach Naruto a lesson." Every one of us had greedy looks on our faces.

***MEAN-WHILE***

"Chapter 2," I mumbled. That chapter 1 was awesome no wonder Kakashi reads this book. Not only that but I'm learning new words.

"NO one's allowed to be in this house except for US!" Must be the wind. But why does it sound like Sakura-Chan's voice.

"Who's there?" I shouted. What have I done? Sakura-Chan always told me to never give away my position. I scooted 2 inches to the left of where I sat. There that should do it, now whoever that was won't find me.

I'm hungry. I wonder if Sasuke has ramen. I got up and found the kitchen. It wasn't hard, I just followed my nose for food. The kitchen was huge but not as big as Sakura-Chan's. That was a shock! I checked every single cupboard, drawer to find canned tomatoes. I opened the fridge and what do you know TOMATOES!

"Man, does this guy eat anything else? It reminds me of somebody." I said. (A/N: It reminds Naruto of himself, he only eats ramen. Also it reminds me of another character from Avatar: The Last Airbender. Sokka only eats meat.)

"HOW dare you insult an Uchiha!" There goes that scary voice again. Behind me I heard shuffling, so I turned around. On the counter a big bowl of fresh stewing ramen was there.

"RAMEN! I love Sasuke!" Weirdly enough I heard giggles. Who cares! There's a big bowl of ramen! I rushed over to the bowl and started to eat it. The funny thing about this ramen was that it was spicy. Really spicy. I think somebody spiked it. But nether the less it was the best ramen I ever had. I slurped up the broth and sat on the stool with my tummy bulging out of my shirt. Now where's that book? I searched the living room and came up empty handed. I even looked under the couch, and inside the T.V. (A/N: He Literally took apart the T.V. Somebody's going to have a cow.) How can one little book be gone? It shouldn't be that hard to spot. I once again turned around cause I heard shuffling. Sasuke wouldn't be home now, what time is it? I looked at the clock on the wall. It read 3 o'clock, is that p.m? Wait, p.m means afternoon or night, and a.m means morning. I glanced outside the sun was sorta setting I guess it means that it's in the afternoon. I am smart! I can't believe the villager's don't appreciate me. Well that's going to change when I become Hokage.

"BELIEVE IT!" I yelled. I felt drowsy, uh oh, I better get outta here. I don't want to fall asleep and wake up to Sasuke punching the hell outta me. I was making my way out the door, where did that book go? Oh well, I'll find it later. Grey dots started to dance around in my eyes, almost there. If I can just make it outside of his property then nothing *yawn* will *yawn* happen...*yawn*…..*thud*.

Sakura's P.O.V:

"Hey look he fell," I giggled, "Sasuke you should return the saying."

I still can't believe that Naruto said he loved Sasuke.

"I have no idea what you are talking about."

"Of courses you do… Arg! You're no fun. I sometimes wish that my parents never did save you. You're just a waste of breathing space. Maybe my parents would be here with me, in the house cooking some dinner!" I looked straight at Sasuke's eyes. People say that the eyes are mirrors to the soul, what I see in Sasuke's eyes was hurt, hate and much more. Before I could blink I was pinned to the wall, with kunais and shurikens.

"I won't go back on what I said. Maybe if you weren't so cold people would actually be able to help you. Scowling and choosing revenge like I said before doesn't make anyone happy. How do you know that your parents, family, ancestors, want you to give your life away on something so low? My parents managed to save you for a reason. Live life, live that reason! When you're older then can you go on wasting your life, to kill your uncle. Look at me, look at Naruto look at everybody around you; they lost people that were precious to them. They go on living life. Naruto never had any parents, and yet he's living a very good life. Sure people pick on him, but I defend him at times. I might pick on him but that's because I know that it will make him a strong ninja. All I want for Naruto is for him to live that dream of becoming a Hokage. My goal is to kill Madara with my own hands. I know that your goal is the same as mine. A question remains that haunts me to the ends of the earth. What will I do with my life after I achieved my goal? Living in Konoha will become awkward knowing that's the place all my misery started…" I couldn't bare to say anything more about my parents, I think instead of hurting him I hurt myself. I looked up to see his expression. Sasuke seemed to be deep in thought, as if debating something.

"You know nothing about me, so stop acting like you do. Me and you are totally different people." He answered coldly.

"I know a lot about you that you couldn't even comprehend. You lost your family the same night I did. We both believe we had nobody to rely on. You can rely on your brother Itachi and I can rely on Naruto. You and I are alike in lives, but at the heart we're totally different."

"Stop!" Sasuke growled, "You know nothing! Itachi betrayed Konoha! How can you say he still is my loving prodigy of a brother?" Great! I made somebody mad. Why do I always do that?

"Let's just finish the prank before Naruto wakes up. Kakashi left with the book already." I changed the subject. Sasuke you better watch out. You just messed with the wrong girl.

"Hn. Whatever." He walked over to me and pulled out the kunais and shurikens that were embed into my clothes.

"You know Naruto's going to kill you for just trying to attack me."

I took out my fans from the sole of my shoe and with the air that was there I pushed Sasuke away from me.

"First you insult me by saying I didn't go through the same pain that you have! Now you're going to pay!" I grabbed my head in agony. It hurt so badly, getting a kunai stuck in your shoulder can't even compare to the pain. I screamed. That was the only way to let out the pain. I rubbed my eyes with my hands; starring into my hands I saw blood. What's happening? My vision blurred and I couldn't see anything.

"S-Sakura?" I heard someone call, "Are you all right?" I tried to distinguish who was talking. The voice was filled with worry, but it was too deep. It could be Sasuke he's the only one who's here and not sleeping.

"Sasuke?" I asked hesitantly.

"Are you alright? Should I go get Kakashi?" I thought it over, Kakashi could probably ban me from going on missions maybe.

"No!" I was surprised by my own voice. It was very sharp, and commanding. It seemed to slice through the air.

"Just get me to the kitchen sink." Maybe by washing the blood off I can see. I wonder why this is happening. What triggered it? I was questioning myself, while Sasuke led me to the sink.

"Hot or cold?" he asked. My eyes were already burning so hot won't do any good.

"Cold." Hearing the faucet turn on I reached out where I imagined the water to be and felt relief instantly. I cupped my hands and let the water pour. Carefully I led my cupped hands to my face and splashed the water. It felt so good. I repeated the motion a few more times. I was able to see but it was of more clarity. It was like seeing spirits. I gladly took the towel Sasuke was holding out. I wiped my face and looked around.

"Your eyes look different." Sasuke commented.

"What? What do you mean?" He motioned me to follow him and I did. We made our way up the stairs and down the hallway straight forward. I thought his house would be a little bit more dull and lifeless. Boy was I wrong.

"Come on! I'll give you a tour later." I hurried up after him. He opened a door and there was a huge bathroom. It could count as a spa if you wanted it to be.

"The mirror's right here." A exasperated tone said. I looked in the mirror, he was right my eyes were different. It looked like the Sharingan but it wasn't. My eyes were red but instead of black tomoes, there were an immortal blue color of very skinny diamonds. Almost like crystals. They circled around my irises, just like the tomoes would have. It was breath-taking, but my eyes were forest green couldn't the crystals be forest green. There were only 3 of them, I wonder if I can gain more, just like the Sharingan can.

"Wow…" I breathed the words, "How do I get rid of it!" I was on the verge of panicking. I don't want my eyes to look like that forever. It would be torture, to have to see people's auras. I finally figured out what that spiritual energy was.

"Why are asking me?"

"Cause, you're supposed to know how to deactivate the Sharingan."

"I'm not really sure but try to drain the chakra from your eyes." I closed my eyes and tried. I opened and guess what… my eyes were still red! Let's see maybe if I say the technique this is, it could probably go away. You would think that Sasuke would know how to get rid of the Sharingan, but no, he doesn't know Jack!

"Harunokangan!" I said. I watched myself in the mirror as the red resided and was replaced by my forest green eyes.

"It worked! Cool! Let's go finish pranking Naruto." I walked out of the bathroom and ran downstairs. I looked back to see Sasuke slowly coming down the stairs. I noticed that he was looking at me as if I would collapse at any moment and then the same thing would happen again.

"Uh… where'd you put the whip cream?" he sighed. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the can of whip cream. I snatched it from his hands and went over to Naruto. I shook the can and started to frost Naruto's face. Mhwuuuuhahahhaha! I was finished in seconds. I went into the kitchen and got a tomato from the fridge. When I came back Sasuke was sitting on the couch watching Naruto snooze. He turned his gaze on me then my hand. Sasuke stood up so fast that it was hilarious.

"What are you doing with that tomato?"

"I'm going to put it on Naruto's nose instead of using a cherry. Duh!" I was walking towards Naruto when I tripped, "What did you do that for?"

"My tomato!" Sasuke yelled. I stood up really fast and held the tomato away from him. He's a savage beast! Quickly I put it on Naruto's nose right before I fell. Not agaaain!

"Let go of me!" I yelled.

"Look what you did! You wasted a perfectly good tomato on that beast!"

"Naruto is not a beast! If you people start calling him that then maybe he will really become one!" I yanked my foot away and stood up brushing imaginary dust from myself.

"Take a picture!" I yelled. Sasuke stood up and fumbled with his pockets, finally what seemed like an hour he found the damn camera that Kakashi gave us. He took the shot then, he took a shot of me by Naruto, vice versa. The last picture was of both of us by Naruto. I had my clone take that picture!

"Thank you Sasuke for inviting Naruto and me to your house. See ya later tonight. Sure we'll be here for that sleepover you mentioned…" Sasuke's face was priceless. My clone took a picture of Sasuke's face. His face was all like 0_0 WTF! I waved and poofed away to my house taking Naruto with me. I had my clone disperse back and in my hands was the camera. Now I can blackmail Sasuke, maybe Naruto. Nah, I shook my head I wouldn't do that to him.

Hello pplz! Review please it really helps! I'm seeing if I can improve my writing skills!
