"All I have ever done is love you, love you with all my heart, and time and time again you just throw it back in my face! But for some stupid reason I never gave up. I kept saying to myself that, oh one day he'll love me back, or At least one day he'll come to see me as a good friend, maybe even a sister, and I could live with that. Just please don't hate me if you feel anything towards me please don't let it be hatred! But that's all it's ever been. You have never felt anything but contempt and hatred towards me!"
"I never hated you, you were just annoying. And you still are!"
"Well at least I'm still the same, you on the other hand, I don't even recognize you anymore!" she said as a tear escaped and ran down her cheek, then in a soft voice she said, "The you I knew is not the you I see in front of me now. "Sakura looked up at me with a sad face and when I looked into her eyes they seemed dead. They no longer shown with happiness or hope. And when she spoke her voice resounded with the same loss.
"I hold on to the memories from when we were kids because they are the only thing I have left of you. They are the only piece of happiness I have left, because after you left there were no happy times for us. Everyone in the village was affected by your loss, not just team seven."
She sucked in a breath of air to calm herself before she continued.
"After Naruto's team came back without you the whole village fell into a state of morning. There was a quiet and stillness that hung over the village like a dark unmoving cloud." Then her once dull eyes flared to life again, this time with anger.
"You always thought that our village looked down on you, that we just thought of you as some powerful tool, or that we were scared of you, "the last and terrifying Uchiha", but you were wrong! Our village loved you. You were the village's child; you were the pride and joy of The Leaf. Everyone feared you had been kidnapped or killed, and when they found out you had left they were heartbroken! They …"
"They thought I had left and betrayed the village just like my brother, and they wanted me brought back to be killed! Right, I'm right aren't I?" I yelled out in anger.
"No your wrong!" she yelled back tears now streaming down her cheeks, "They await the day you will return, for the same reason I do." She said in a softer voice, tears still falling. Then her hand reached up to caress my cheek, "Because we love you and we miss you"
With that she turned out of my grasp and ran down the hallway. I was in a "somewhat" state of shock as I put my hand over the place where hers had been just moments before.
Sakura ran, faster and faster, away from the boy she loved, but would never let herself love again. The heart she had so desperately tried to put back together was breaking apart again, and that pain only made the tears fall harder. Her tears fell over her cheeks as a waterfall cascades over the cliff, in an unending and uncontrollable stream of hurt and pain.
Thankfully due to the early hour not to many people were in the hall to witness her humiliation. And she certainly wasn't going to give anyone that opportunity now. No way she'd let them see her balling like a silly little child.
When Sakura finally stopped to wipe the blinding tears from her eyes, she felt a light breeze against her skin. She followed the smell of fresh air till she found herself above ground. It wasn't actually until she was above the ground that she realized she had ever been under it.
"Shouldn't be much of a surprise though, snakes love dark cold places." She whispered to herself.
She walked over to a large oak tree and sat at its base with her back to its rough bark, knees pulled up as close to her chest as she could get them.
"I don't know what made me flip out over something so stupid. I mean it's not like Sasuke was acting any different then he normally does. Nope! He was the same heartless cares-so-much-about-others-feeling guy he's always been..."
"So why did I start crying. I was acting as if I had confessed my undying love for him and he'd cruelly shot me down again!"
"Probably cause you finally realized that you still love him." Came an oh to familiar voice from behind her.
"Itachi! Wwwh… what… how…" Sakura barely got out. Shock obvious in her voice.
"It doesn't matter how all that matters is the what"
"Well what's the What!"
"Hello to you to Sakura" he said, while wiping away the remainder of her tears.
"Hello Itachi" she said in a less than welcoming tone, as she pulled away from him.
"That hurts Sakura, it really does."
"Not as much as you hurt Sasuke."
"I know this is your favorite topic for conversation Sakura, but I don't have time for that today."
"Well then what's so important that you would grace me with your presents."
"I want you to go ahead with Orochimaru's plan and have sex with Sasuke."
"WHY!" Sasuke yelled as he punched his bedroom wall.
"Why should I care if Sakura is upset? I shouldn't care that she's crying because of me, I never did before."
"Oh now I don't believe that."
Sasuke whirled around so fast it's a surprise he didn't give himself whiplash.
"Umi" he said in a dangerously hushed tone that made her pale considerably.
"Hai" she said quickly, with a small jump.
"I thought that I that told you already, this is none of your business."
"I know but…"
"No buts! You may be Sakura's little "companion" but your nothing but a little annoying girl to me, and you have no business sticking your nose where it's no wanted."
"How do you know Sakura doesn't want me sticking my nose in this, cause from my point of view you two could use a mediator." She said so quickly he might have missed it if he didn't have such superior hearing.
"We don't need a mediator because there is nothing to mediate."
"Really cause from where I stand it's pretty obvious that you have feelings for Sakura, your just too much of a natural born jerk of an ice cube to realize it."
"Oh that's definitely not a natural born trait." Came Itachi's mischievous voice.
Hi guys, thanks so much for continuing to read my story even though I've been so bad about updating quickly. I do try to right a good story but I'm kinda a perfectionist about it, plus you have no idea how swamped with homework I've been. School is ridiculous!
Anyway I'm super glad you read my story and Please, Please review! It helps me so much to read your feedback. So review and let me know what you liked and what you didn't like.
