Hello my fellow Readers! How long has it been since I have updated? Hmm, lets see…thirteen days I think.

Oh well! I hope that you all like this chappie; also, the Uchiha clan IS dead. This chapter takes place right after when Sasuke is in the hospital recuperating. Hehe, sorry but he is going to pretty much be mute during this chappie!

Chapter 8: The Rose

As Sasuke sits in the hospital room, tears and sadness coursing through the young boy as he mourns he lost family, can his Saku-Chan really help him?

I sat in the stupid white room; my daddy was still talking to the pretty lady at the desk. I am still waiting to visit my Sasu-Kun; I hope that he is okay…

Why did they have to die?

I looked down at the floor; the memory of what my daddy had told me earlier came to my mind…

(The Flashback will be in third-person!)

"Why is Sasu-kun in the hospital?" Sakura asked her father as he walked her to the hospital to visit the said boy.

For a minute all that was heard the pitter-patter of the rain that fell around them.

Sakura looked down at the rose in her tiny hands and sighed, nobody was telling her anything, all she heard was that her bestest bester best friend was in the hospital and he needed somebody to come over.

"Honey, you remember when I told you that when a time comes, people go up to heaven to stay with God?" Sakura looked up to daddy and nodded, her daddy told about that when her great-grandma died a year ago.

"Well, Sasuke's family all went to stay with him. That is why Sasuke needs you to come visit him."

Sakura's eyes widened as what her daddy had told her hit her. Sasuke's family gone? Forever? NO!

"But what about Mikoto-Chan and Kitty?" she noticed that her daddy had stopped when she asked the question.

"Sasuke's mommy left too," "What about kitty?" her tone was pleading.

"Kitty…he…kitty is a bad man." Sakura started to cry, Kitty? He was a bad man? But Kitty was nice to her!

"But Kitty is nice to me! He wouldn't be a bad guy! Whatever he did I bet that he is really sorry!"

Sakura's daddy looked down at her, he really didn't want to tell her…but he had to.

"Kitty, he took Sasuke's family away…" Sakura's eyes widened…her Kitty would never do that!

That is what happened, I haven't said anything since. How could Kitty take his family away? This all has to be a joke, yeah, just a joke! Kitty is too nice to hurt Sasu-kun like that! I just know it!

I can't stop crying, what if my Sasu-kun is hurt? I don't want him to get hurt! What if it is not a joke? Then, what will happen to my bestest bester best friend?

Sniffle, sniffle.

I just want to see my Sasu-kun; everything will be better once I see him. The rose that I picked out for him was starting to wilt because I haven't put it any water in a while…

"Haruno Sakura?" I looked up to see a lady dressed in white, she had a pretty headband on her forehead, she also had really big 'lady things' as mommy called them.

I nodded, she offered her hand and I looked to my daddy, he nodded and I took her hand. I hope that she takes me to see my Sasu-kun. I looked at the walls, this place is like a huge labyrinth, and it goes on forever.

We stopped in front of a door, I saw two big guys standing on each side and the pretty lady let go of my hand to pull out a card and she showed it to the two big guys, they looked at me and I got scared. They are really tall too.

The lady bent down to my level; looking me in the eyes she said something to me.

"Now, you know what happened to Sasuke-kun?" I nodded. "Good, then you know that he is really sad right now." I started to cry, I don't want my Sasuke to be sad!

The pretty lady grabbed my hand; her long blonde hair in pigtails fell around her face as her brown eyes looked at me. "Don't cry alright. Your friend really needs you to be strong for him right now. Can you do that for me?" I nodded wiping away my tears I asked her name.

"You can call me Tsu-chan." I smiled and walked into the room waving to her as she closed the door, leaving me alone in this room with Sasu-kun.

(Bet you guys know whom the pretty lady is!)

I looked to the bed; I saw somebody sleeping on the bed…it was Sasu-kun! Excitedly I ran to him, pulling myself to sit on the side of the bed.

He looked so sad; I could see tears falling from his eyes. I wanted to cry, but I remembered what the pretty lady said, I gently tapped his arm.

I hoped that he would smile at me and give me a hug…but he just sat there. His eyes were open, but he wouldn't move.

"Sasu-Kun?" he didn't even look at me. Was he ignoring me? I set the rose down on the nightstand and I pulled myself closer to him.

"Sasuke-kun?" this time I grabbed his hand in mine. I really did not expect what happened.

He pulled away and crawled away from me. Did I do something wrong?

"Sasuke?" he wouldn't look at me. Why won't he say something?

He just sat there, holding his legs close to him and staring at the bed. I wanted to cry, my most important person was mad at me. He didn't … want …to be…my friend.

I looked down at my hands before looking back at him, the both of us are crying. I scooted a wee bit closer to him, but he moved away from me. I started to cry harder, my most important person, I lost him.

I looked back at him; he looked at me then looked away. I crawled over to him; sitting beside him I grasped his smaller hand. I felt him try to pull away and I cried even harder.

I knew that my daddy would come to get me soon, so I did the only thing that came to my mind that I thought would actually make him feel better.

I leaned over and gave him a kiss to the cheek.

For a moment I just sat there, my lips pressed to his cheek and I felt so much better to have my most important person so close.

I pulled away and he looked at me, I could see that he was in so much pain; I wanted to hug him and give him another kiss. But, the pretty lady with the 'lady things' came in and asked me to come with her.

"I will come and visit you soon." I whispered into his ear before I leaped off and ran to the pretty lady.

As Sakura left the room, leaving her Sasu-kun alone once more, she never noticed that he had smiled.

"Thanks for the flower, Saku-Chan…"

WOW. I hope that you all like the way that I decided to do this. Yes, the pretty lady in the story is Tsunade if you did not notice.
