Gifts and signs
I miss you so much, Sakura. I jerked up and looked around, no one but Neji sat close to me. I decided to ignore it and continued to attempt to bring back up images of Earth.
I don't know what to do now, I have… no idea. I looked at Neji again and pulled my eyebrows together, Neji looked up at me confused as well.
"What…?" Neji smiled at me.
"I can hear it too, don't worry."
"Hear what? What is it? Who is it?" I looked around, several more people were walking.
"You're quite early to discover thoughts." Neji sighed as if it was going to be long and troublesome. "There's always one person who you love truly, right? In Heaven, that's never going to change. You'll always be thinking of them, seeing them and wanting them, that's not gong to change. Soon you'll be able to hear them, mentally." Neji gave a quick smile as another thought of Sasuke's popped up.
"So how come I can only hear some?"
"Your brain blocks out some." I hesitated, Heaven was oddly confusing.
"So how come you can hear them too?" A wide smile broke out of Neji and he chuckled softly to himself.
"The great thing about Heaven, we have gifts." His tone dropped as he said the last word and I suddenly got chills of excitement.
"Such as you hearing other people's thoughts in Heaven?"
"Correct. I can also change and detect people's mood. You're feeling excitement aren't you?" He grinned at me once more and I was taken aback. That was cool.
"Do you know my gifts?" I asked excitedly, propping myself up to face him. He chuckled once more.
"No, but at this rate. You'll be able to discover them soon." Neji hesitated and I waited. "Come with me, I want to see if you can do it," He stood up and I followed instinctively. He brought me to a wall, the wall where he had disappeared behind before. His warm, firm hand touched mine and he hesitated a little, shaking his head he took it again and brought it back up. He held it next to the wall and I felt a tingling sensation as well as a cool breeze, as if the wall didn't existed.
"Touch it." I shifted my hand closer and touched the wall, I felt a very cold feeling run up my fingers and down my spine and before I knew it, my whole hand went through, a freezing and numbing sensation ran up my arm and I quickly pulled away.
"What is that?" I turned towards Neji and he smiled at me proudly.
"The gate to Earth," My mouth dropped. Did this mean I could visit Sasuke?
"Sasuke…"
"All you have to do, is walk through that. When you want to come back… well, you can jump can you?" Neji winked at me and ran through the wall, I watched in awe as he disappeared behind. He looked so graceful and light, lighter than me. I waited for a few minutes until I regained myself, then I edged towards the wall and I stepped right up to it until my nose touched it. I took one quick breath and jumped at the wall. The world suddenly rotated, as if the wall came from up above instead of from the side.
Cold wind rushed around me, billowing my hair to the side. And there was Sasuke's house, his brown roof top. Then the thought hit me, how was I going to land? His house grew closer and closer, I panicked quickly, flapping my hands everywhere to stop me going so fast. Then I had miraculously landed, softly. My body swooped down and brought itself back up so that I landed on my feet, I wasted no time. I swiftly jumped to Sasuke's room, the dress flowing around my thighs. Then I saw him, I saw Sasuke. My darling Sasuke, I walked up to him high heels making soft clicking noises on his floorboards. Sasuke had his head between his knees that hung over his bed, his hands running through his hair. He brought his head back up and I saw his eyes were red and bloodshot with dark rings under his eyes. Sleep deprivation.
"Sasuke!" I cried out, although he did not widen his eyes in my presence, he did not flinch at the shock… nor did he do anything. I stepped towards him again, holding out my arms to embrace him.
"Sasuke?" My eyes started to well up, why was he ignoring me? "Sasuke!" I stepped forward again and touched his face, only that my hand would go through. I could feel a quick sensation of warmth touch my hand as it passed through.
Oh yeah. I was an angel from Heaven, how could I possibly touch him?
I went over to Sasuke's bed and sat down cautiously, afraid I was going to fall through, but I didn't. I sat next to Sasuke and examined his face, still dark rings, bloodshot eyes, pale, pale face. Still the same.
"Sasuke… why? Why can't you see me, I'm right here!" Pathetic, more tears streamed down. Sasuke showed no recognition of me and I touched his hair, of course my hand just right through. I missed the warmth of his body and his cold hands and lips.
Sakura? If you can hear me… I have a weird sensation in my body. Are you near me? I can hear your voice in my head every second of the day and I can't get it out.
"Yes, I can hear you Sasuke. Come on, I'm right here!" I readjusted myself on the bed, hopeful that he'll recognize me. He stood up and I followed him, still hopeful that he'll know I'm watching him, that I'm right next to him.
He stood next to his radio and I growled.
"Sasuke! Sasuke, come on, I'm here." I bashed his radio angrily and it instantly turned on. Sasuke glanced at it cautiously, pulling his eyebrows together.
But if I still believe you love me, maybe I'll survive.
So I tell myself, you're coming home, like you've done a million times.
And if it's alright, I'll still be loving you.
But if I still believe you love me, maybe I'll survive.
So I tell myself you're coming home, like you've done a million times.
Coz I can't break it to my heart.
Did I just turn on the radio? Sasuke took a step back aghast and supported himself by placing his hands on the table, bowing his head and breathing heavily. The music continued to play and he walked over to it and quickly turned it off. I stood looking at the radio, I had… turned it on. I lifted my hand to look at it, the paleness and smoothness of it intrigued me for a second then I turned back to Sasuke, determined to give him a sign. It was too late as Sasuke quickly stumbled out the door, he was distressed. He snatched his jacket off his door and walked out of the door in the cold weather. I quickly followed, my dress flowing out beside me.
"Sasuke, wait!" I slapped myself mentally, not being to help calling out to him even though he couldn't hear me. I quickly jumped so it was faster, I glided swiftly by his side. And then, a quick gust of wind followed me. I landed and the wind stopped, I jumped again and the wind picked up speed as I flew past Sasuke. I landed and it stopped. I was the wind. I began to jump again, circling Sasuke as did the wind.
Sasuke stopped abruptly, readjusting his jacket and continued to walk, glancing around cautiously. I picked up speed and flew to the trees, gusts of wind flew everywhere and Sasuke once again stopped in his tracks.
Sakura…?
"Yes, yes! I'm here." I flew to him, the wind pushed Sasuke's hair all over his face. God, he was so sexy. I stopped in front of face as he stared in front of him, bewildered. He was staring at me… I lifted my hand and caressed his face, warmth touched my nerves and I shivered out of pleasure.
He then continued to walk, passing through me and I sighed, sending him signs were getting tedious. I flew again in all directions around Sasuke, he didn't seem to care or notice but continued to walk, shoving his hands in his pocket.
Then with one great push, I flew through Sasuke and back to Heaven where down below I could see Sasuke look up at me. Look up me, the angel who was flying to Heaven.
