Chapter 4#

Failure in confessing

It's a grey day, full of sadness and tears. Even my heart is so worried…it's like something's going to happen with me or someone else, someone close to me…

Maybe this is a warning to me…or are they just my stupid feelings that going to destroy me? Questions flying through my head, while I lazy around in my room.

There I am, sitting in a lesson with Sakura-chan next to me, but every minute she glances at him with obsessed look...And my feelings are getting so tight, that I couldn't breathe when Sasuke-kun was here...Why is this happening to me …why Sasuke…Why him...she don't deserve a person like him who have cold, heartless feelings…

Be calm Naruto, I might have a chance to be with her. He was talking in his mind and tried to be calm down.

"Ohhh Sakura-chan" I said in a shaky voice as I watched her run to Sasuke.

She was walking happily with that big smile of hers. Sakura jumped up to Sasuke with a blush on her little kawaii face. She seems like a butterfly flying in clear, blue sky, feeling free and full of dreams. But to me it seems as if he is dragging her with force closer to him, even my heart burns and my eyes feel to blast the rain out.

"Hi Sasuke-kun" She said as she approach to him with pink-ish cheeks.

"Hmm...yeahh." He muttered with a sour face that didn't give any interest in what she is saying to him.

"Sasuke-kun... I was watching you since I was small…and I really want to tell you something important…" she was cut by Sasuke words.

"I have no interest in you, if you want to say something, say now and without stopping!" Growled Sasuke, almost spitting the words down her heart.

"Ghmm..." she cleared throat, "Sasuke-kun I LOVE YOU!" she said it loud and with a confident in her voice to confess to him.

"It's good to hear, but I am not interested in girls like you, because you are useless and annoying..!" he said it to her face in harsh voice and look, and turned away from her to continue to wonder off about revenge bullshit.

I was jealous just a minute ago, but I never saw a person with a cold heart like this before! Inside I feel so happy but on other side I feel so sad and angry, just because how harshly he put his words together and blasted them to Sakura-chan…she is so fragile, that words like these can break her heart in small pieces, that there is almost no chance to fix it.

I saw a single tear run down her face as she ran out of the class. I could feel her pain and embarrassment she store in her heart. I should go and check on how is she; I won't let some scum like Sasuke break her heart right here…

I ran after her down the corridor. I could soon hear a fragile cry's from across the corner. I wonder, could it be Sakura-chan…I looked over the corner and saw my cherry blossom full of tears. My fists were tingling in anger; I'm ready to punch that TEME in his ugly face! She only confessed to him…she didn't do anything wrong…why can't people understand other's sensation? I searched for the answer to mine question in my stupid head.

"Why would I ever think that someone as cool as Sasuke-kun would like a low life girl like me…" she was sobbing with a heart full of grief.

"Boom…shhh….Oh SUGAR!" clumsy, hyperactive boy trips over behind Sakura and shot the words out loud. "Why this young and beautiful lady crying here?" he asked her, making the I-Haven't-Heard-Anything-just-passing-by expression.

She continued to cry "I am so useless…I am such a low life, no one needs or wants me…I... I just confessed my love to someone special to me, but he just ignored me and…and didn't even have a single interest in me…I knew that I won't have a single chance to become more closer to him, even for a single centimeter.." She said without even looking at Naruto and watched as a rain falls down.

"Don't cry 'Cherry Blossom', you are not on your own, and he just don't deserve a bright butterfly like you" he whispered into her ear and he hugged her to warm her up. "We had enough tears today, I hope you don't wish for our village to flood full of tears?" he asked her and pulled a smile on his face just to make her more comfortable. "I will protect you from cold that scratches your precious heart inside of your warm body; I will do my best to keep that bright heart warm." He tried to make her smile, and pointed to her heart with his long, manly fingers.

While I was standing with her in the empty corridor, I saw a bright light came out from sky and it started to shine in my blue eyes. The grey sky disappeared and rain was wiped away. The sun was up in the clear, blue sky, shining so bright that you can barely peek at it.

"Arigatou Naruto-kun!" she thanked him with a big smile and turned her face to look at birds that were flying in the 'heaven'.

Well, probably the day didn't turn to be as bad; I am so relieved that she was now standing with me with a smile, and not the sulk. I might see a different now…but as I promised, I will keep her heart as warm as I can, because I never go back on my words. That is my ninja way! Dattebayoooo!

For me, a smile means every piece of life that I have been given from God….

To be continue…
