Chapter 9: Escape the Pain
Sasuke layed in the sand looking at the stars. He looked at how they twinkled at him. It was about three or four in the morning. There was a soft rain coming down, but he didn't care it was getting him wet. He could only think of her words, 'Just remember when it rains here. Soft and calm that I am weeping tears for you….'. It had rained like this for the past week since she left.
The young 15 year old, was so upset that he couldn't sleep, no he didn't want to sleep because he was afraid of the nightmares waiting around the corner for him to fall asleep. It had been like this for the past week since she had left. He didn't sleep much, he didn't eat much, it was as if he was starting all over again. But this time he was in it much deeper. He had lost his friends and now his one and only love.
He now layed on his back with his hands behind his head. He forgot what it had felt like to be alone in the world. What it was like to not have anything. Nothing at all. He remembered at how a week ago he had been here as happy as ever with her. They had had made wishes on a shooting star and he had kissed her here.
A single tear ran down his face as the memories washed upon his thoughts. Much like the ocean water was washing against his feet, he was laying close to the water where his feet would get hit by a wave everyone once in a while.
He quickly wiped his tear away and thought about how his life had changed. He had told everyone at school that she had moved away and that they had broke up. Everyone was saddened by the news.
"I can't believe she is gone."
What can I do to get her back? I just want her to come back. I know she must miss me too. Why can't she come to realize that love takes risks and all she has to do is try to be with me and I would have been happy knowing that she tried to be with me instead of just going back to heaven. I just want her to…no need her to come back to me.
He then sat up and positioned himself to where he was kneeling in the sand. He put his hands together as he was about to do something he hadn't done in a while…pray.
God, if you can hear me please help me. You sent her to me and I have fallen in love with her. She loves me too and she's afraid to be human again that's why she went back to heaven, but God if you let her come back I will make sure nothing will ever happen to her and I will always love her. I promise she could have the human life she always dreamed of if she comes back to me. Please God send her back to me. Tell her everything will be okay. Please, I beg you……
xXx
In Heaven….
God sat at his desk, examining through a book an angel had turned in earlier on a little girl who needed help fitting in with people and making friends. His eyes carefully read the pages as he finished, he stamped the page with a big red ink stamper that said, "APPROVED". He then grabbed at a green book he opened the first page to see very neat handwriting that said:
"Sasuke Uchiha:
Age: 15
Problems to fix: strong case of depression, not eating enough, needs to be more socially active, is still in a state of shock. Very deep into depression.
Day One:
Sasuke is very rude, doesn't want to open up and talk about things, I think it is because he is just depressed. He keeps to himself too much. He needs someone to talk to but he won't talk to me openly about things. He just wants me gone. But I'm sure he will lighten up.
Day Four:
Sasuke has opened up and has started talking to me about things a little. He still isn't eating much though or talking to friends at school that much.
Day Eight:
Sasuke is openly talking to me and is eating somewhat, better than what he was before. He is talking to his friends again. He went to hang out with them in a club and actually danced with me. So he is starting to come out of his shell.
God quickly read through the book as he began to come to the end of the book, he couldn't help but notice the very fast improvement in Sasuke. He had never seen someone come out of such a deep case of depression that fast before. He was impressed. He quickly began to read the last two passages in the book.
Day 54:
Sasuke Uchiha: Is eating more and becoming more socially active with other kids at his school, has a better outlook, isn't so locked up as before, is happier, can express his emotions better.
conclusion: Sasuke Uchiha is almost over depression completely.
Day 55:
I am certain that Sasuke Uchiha is completely out of depression, therefore because my mission is over I will be coming in soon, God. I believe I have done a good job with Sasuke Uchiha.
p.s. God please watch over Sasuke, he really means a lot to me. Watch over him extra close for me…please.
-Sakura Haruno
God smiled as he saw the little angel's name written at the bottom of the page. She was one of the best angel girls he had. She certainly had a way with helping teenagers out. He remembered that her life hadn't been so great. He was impressed at how she carried on so happy with such an ugly story behind her beautiful green eyes.
As God was about to stamp a big 'APPROVED' on it but he heard a prayer come to him. It was none other than Sasuke. He smiled as he heard his prayer.
"Ahh… little Sakura, and she wondered why I have never paired her up to help a teenage boy out…the very one time I do and I end up getting a prayer like that."
He smiled as he began to speak again.
"Well, time to work miracles."
xXx
With Sakura…
The small angel layed on her bed. She had been wandering around like a lifeless zombie for the past week. She was a wreck. Then there was a knock at the door. She walked to the door to be met with a familiar angel like her.
"Hi Sakura! How are you?" The angel girl asked.
"Not so good, Chihiro."
Chihiro was an angel girl like Sakura. She is sent to Earth every now and then to help people as well. Chihiro had become Sakura's closest friend among all the other angel girls.
She had jet black hair that was shiny that came down to her waist. She had long bangs that stopped right above her eyes, almost covering them. She had dark blue eyes and very pale and creamy looking skin much like Sakura's. She was pretty tall about 5'7 much taller than Sakura who was 5'3. She wore a soft yellow kimono.
"Oh I'm sorry. Is there anything I can do for you? Because I heard what happened." Chihiro said.
"No its okay."
"Oh come on! If you keep this up then God is going to send you an angel girl to get you out of depression."
Sakura smiled. Chihiro always had a way of making her smile when she needed it.
"That would be kinda weird wouldn't it?" Sakura asked.
"Oh yes. Now you are going to take a shower and get dressed. We are going out for a walk. Its been a while since you have been gone and I want to hang out and it would do you some good to get out."
"Okay fine, I'm going to get in the shower, come on in and sit down."
Sakura walked back into her little dorm as her long time friend walked in behind her closing the door and sitting down on the couch to watch tv while Sakura was in the shower.
After about an hour or so, Sakura walked into the living room, wearing a red kimono. She smiled at Chihiro but you could tell she was still depressed.
"Ready?" Chihiro asked.
"Yes."
"Okay so where do you wanna go?"
"I don't care."
"Well let's just go from a walk then."
"Fine."
With that the two girls walked out of Sakura's room and went down a flight of stairs and began to walk around enjoying the fresh air.
xXx
With God…
After he had finished thinking the situation over, God had thought of a plan.
"Carrie."
A young woman across the room filing paper work looked up and answered him with a simple, "Yes?"
"Come here please."
"Of course."
Carrie stood up as she walked toward God. She was very short, about 4'10 and had light brown hair that came down only to met her shoulders. She wore glasses. She was very small and had freckles on her face. Carrie was God's assistant. She helped with all the papers around the office.
"Now Carrie, I need you to go find some people for me."
"Okay who are they?"
"The first one is a woman named, Amiee and the second one is a boy named, Ban."
"Okay."
"Here are their information cards."
God handed Carrie the information cards on the two people so she could find them easier.
"But Carrie, once you find them send them to my office and wait about 20 minutes and then go get Sakura for me. You do know who Sakura is right?"
"Umm, the only angel girl with pink hair right?"
"Oh yeah that's her."
xXx
With Sakura and Chihiro…
The two girls had been out for about an hour. They were sitting down on a bench looking out around the place.
"So Sakura, I hope you don't mind me asking, but what was he like?"
"Oh, him…well he was like..umm…"
Sakura sat down thinking about the right way to describe him. She wondered what were the right words to use. It made her sad just thinking about him so now she was holding back tears, threatening to run down her face.
"Okay, if I had to create my dream guy. The guy that is perfect with everything I love, I would have to say he would be it. It's like he came right out of my dreams."
"Wow, he must really be something."
"Yeah…that's why I fell in love with him."
"Hmm…do you ever think about becoming a human to be with him?"
"Yeah. But….you know my past. Since the day I was born, everyone hated me because my father was the man that had attacked the village and stole from it. My mom was always depressed about my dad betraying her and leaving her years after it was already done so she never paid attention to me, my brother didn't hate me but he didn't really care for me because of who my father was. My own father killed me. I just don't understand why they judged me for what my father did.."
"Well I don't know what to tell you because I was never human. God created me as an angel to help people out."
"Wait a second, I never thought about it before, but how come God didn't send me an angel, to help me?"
"I don't know Sakura but I am sure he had a good reason."
"I lived a living hell and he just left me alone…"
Sakura began to play with her hands as she touched her ring. She smiled down at it. It was her favorite material item. While she was messing with her ring, Chihiro noticed it too. She grabbed Sakura's hand and put it in front of her face to get a better look of it.
"Wow, that's so pretty. Where did you get it?"
"He bought it for me."
"Aww. That's so sweet."
"Miss Sakura!"
The two girls heard someone call out Sakura's name. This caused Sakura to look up and see a woman walking toward her.
"Carrie?" Sakura asked.
"Yes, it's me Carrie. God wants to see you so please follow me."
"Okay." Sakura said standing up. She turned and smiled at Chihiro. "I'll see you later, okay?"
"Okay, bye!"
Carrie began to walk off with Sakura walking behind her.
xXx
With God…
God sat at his desk reading through more books when his assistance and Sakura walked in. Sakura looked toward God and smiled. But because God knows everything, he knew she was faking it.
"You sent for me?"
"Yes. I know you have feelings for the human boy Sasuke Uchiha and that he has feelings for you. But you are afraid to be with him because of the human life you had before."
"Oh…"
"But like Sasuke said you have to take risks. And I'm going to give you some advice."
"Good, because I really need some."
"Trust me, I know. But you have to understand that I won't just make up some random people to become your family. You will have the family I created you with in the first place."
"Well if that's the case then…I don't want to go back because my family were just..well you know. You know everything."
"I knew you would say that, I mean really I knew. So that's why I had a talk with your mother and your brother."
"Mom and Ban?"
"Yes, Carrie dear, will you be so kind o go get Amiee and Ban." God said looking across the room to his assistant, who was sitting at her desk doing paper work. Hearing God ask her something, she looked up and smile as she stood to walk into the room next door.
Sakura's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't faced her family since her human life, 300 years ago. She didn't know how they would act toward her. Oh gosh..I wonder if they are the same as 300 years ago…if I had to live with them again to be human I don't know if I want to go back or not….I don't want to face them, not now…
God, hearing the pink angel's thoughts, looked toward her and smiled, letting her know everything was going to be okay.
After about a minute or so, Carrie walked back into the room and sat at her desk and picked back up where she had left off, as Sakura's mother, Amiee and her brother, Ban walked in the room. Seeing them walk in the room, Sakura turned her back to them and slouched down in her chair as if she was a child sitting in the principal's office at school.
"Sakura?" A soft voice came.
Sakura looked up to meet the eyes of her beautiful mother, Amiee. Amiee was like a mirror reflection of Sakura. Her hair was pink but a little bit darker than Sakura's, that was pretty short only reaching to her chin and her eyes were a dark color brown.
In her eyes she looked like she was pained to look at her daughter. A hint of sorrow were behind her eyes as well. But then, she smiled.
"Why I haven't seen you in what 300 years? You are still as beautiful as back then."
Sakura only looked at her mother. She was dumbfounded. She didn't know what to make of the situation. The mother that had always ignored her and just about every time she looked at her she would start crying and the mother that never took up for Sakura when people abused her was now being nice?
"Sakura….? Did I say something wrong?" Amiee asked puzzled by her daughter's confused face.
"Why?" Sakura just looked her mother in the face as if she would get all answers to her questions.
"Why are you so nice to me now? Why are you acting like everything is okay? Do you realize how bad I suffered as a child? How I was abused? Do you know you ruined my life?" Sakura said.
"Sakura…please I know you are mad and you don't want anything to do with me, but God talked with me today and he told me what happened with you. With the boy and the reason you don't want to go back is because of how your human life was before. And I really want to explain myself. If you'll have me."
After about a minute of thinking Sakura nodded her head and prepared herself to hear her mother's story.
"Okay my life was perfect, men were always asking for my hand in a relationship back when I was a teenager and then I met Ban's father. We got married and I had Ban. I was happy I had a good husband and a son. But then when my husband died, I was depressed. I had loved him so much and I thought that if I found someone else then I wouldn't be depressed anymore so when I met your father I rushed myself into falling in love and I thought everything was okay again because he seemed so wonderful and everything I was looking for but then I was once again heartbroken when I found out he used me. And it was then that I told myself to never fall in love again, so I was depressed just about all the time and I was in no condition to raise a child. Luckily Ban was just old enough to handle himself when your father had betrayed me. But I was so depressed I really didn't care about anyone else and I didn't realize what my little girl was going through. People would yell at me and say I was a traitor and I was stupid. My life was pretty much ruined. I was so absorbed in my own life. I should have raised you better, Sakura. And the last 300 years made me realize that I had ruined my baby girl's life and after all this time I looked for you here in Heaven but I could never find you and it made me sad because I wondered where had my little girl gone and that I wouldn't be able to tell you that I am so sorry."
By now tears were coming down from Amiee's face as she finished her story. Sakura only looked at her mother and she was surprised that she understood how her mother felt. If I would have married Sasuke and he died then I would have been depressed too…I would be in no condition to raise a child…I am actually not mad at her anymore…I thought I would always be mad at her but…now I understand…she didn't realize I had been abused.. I thought she ignored me because she didn't want to help me…
"I have something to tell you too Sakura…" A male voice piped in.
Sakura turned her gaze away from her mom's face to her brother's. He was just as she remembered. He had light brown hair that was short with bangs that came down to his eyes that were green, like hers. He was fairly tall, about 6'0 feet while her mother was about 5'6, and Sakura herself was 5'3.
"The reason I ignored you all your life is because, before you were born, mother didn't realize it but she would always brag about how much better your father was than mine and it really offended me, and your father wasn't nice to me at all and he pushed me around. And he treated me bad and he threaten to hurt me really bad if I ever told Mom he picked on me and hurt me, so because I hated him, I took my anger out on you and never took up for you when you got abused. And I realized that was stupid because your father didn't care what happened to you so it wasn't doing anything to him, it was just hurting you. And you had nothing to do with you father, I mean we can't pick who our parents are and you were just unlucky to turn out to be his kid. And you suffered for the things you didn't do and I am so sorry. I was a horrible brother to you. Like Mom, these past 300 years or so I have really opened my eyes up. So I'm so sorry."
"Now everything makes scents. I understand. I thought you two just hated me and never cared for me just because I was me but now I know that I shouldn't have been blaming you two because it was my stupid father, he tore our family apart." Sakura said.
"No, it was my fault I should have known better than to disobey the village rules than to bring an outsider to our village and let alone fall in love with him. I should have known better than that to have brought him into my family. But if I wouldn't have then I would have never had my beloved daughter."
"Sometimes I think it's better that I wasn't born. Things would have been a lot better." Sakura said.
"No, sweetie you did nothing wrong. Don't blame yourself. And if you love this Sasuke, then I say become human again and I promise this time I will be a wonderful mother that loves you and will take care of you."
"And I'll be your older brother that cares about you too." Ban added in.
"Okay, then I'm going back but I want to talk to God alone, for a moment." Sakura said smiling.
"Okay. I love you sweetheart." Amiee said hugging her daughter before leaving the room with her son.
"God there's one question I just have to ask. How come you never sent me an angel?"
"I knew you would ask that, no really I did." He let a small laugh out and then began to speak, "Let's just say everything happens for a reason, and if you would have lived a happy life then you wouldn't have been able to be an angel girl because that's just for people who didn't have good lives and those who were created that way and you would have never met Sasuke."
"Oh…Well I'm happy things worked out the way they did because in my old life I never even remember seeing a cute guy or anything I was interested in, so Sasuke is the perfect one for me and I thank you for helping me with my family, you don't know how much you have helped me."
"No, I really do know. I'm God I know everything." He let out a small laugh again.
"But you do know, you will lose all you angel powers and you can't tell anyone about you being an angel or I will take all your memory away of being an angel."
"Oh don't worry I won't tell anyone. And plus if I told someone that they would think I'm crazy."
God let out a laugh and began to talk. "And as you want, you will live right next to Sasuke, in a nice house and you will live a normal human life with your mother and brother."
"Really that's great!! Thank you so much!! And what ever happened to my dad?"
"Oh, he's in hell. You don't have to worry about him sweetie you'll never see him again."
"Well can you tell him that even though he was the one who ruined my life and killed me, that I forgive him."
God smiled. "Yes, I will be happy to. You have a good heart to forgive him. And you know after he killed you, he began to really feel sorry for what he did to you and your mother and to your brother."
"Really?"
"Yes. He wanted to take it back because he thinks in the long run, he did love your mother and you for that matter, but he just didn't realize it until it was too late. He was just too obsessed with money and riches and those things that he lost himself when it came to them."
"Well thanks God. Call me if you ever need anything."
"Oh I will. And have a good time being a human okay."
"Okay and hey can you tell Chihiro bye for me and tell her what happened?"
"Sure thing but let's get you to Earth before Sasuke tries to kill himself from depression."
"He's gonna kill himself?!"
"No I was just kidding." God said letting out a laugh, at the look on Sakura's face.
"But anyway take me and my family to Earth."
"Alright. Have fun and by the way Sasuke is on the beach, where you two made a wish on a shooting star. Which reminds me, do you want to know what Sasuke wished for?"
"Yes!"
And that's when everything thing began to glow white. God faded from her sight as everything began to glow brighter and brighter, wanting to know what Sasuke's wish was she called out, "God hey what did Sasuke wish for??" She was only greeted by the bright light blinding her where she had no choice but to close her eyes. She then heard Sasuke's voice.
"I wish Sakura will stay here on Earth and be with me forever."
That's when Sakura smiled. She just heard Sasuke's wish. Thoughts began to run through her head. I can't believe Sasuke actually wished for that, and I left him. Well time to make wishes come true….
