Worry

Sakura woke up and yawned softly. She noticed Sasuke wasn't on the bed.

"Maybe in the restroom…" she murmured and went to wash up.

Sakura went to the kitchen and looked around.

"He's not home, either," Sakura noticed a little note.

She opened it and read it:

"Sakura,

I'll be out early today…and I'll be back late, so don't make dinner.

Sincerely, Sasuke"

Sakura crushed the paper in her palms.

"Again…and again…you keep going to her…you must really love her…" Sakura smiled sadly.

She went and sat down on the couch.

"Sasuke…you must really love Karin…a lot…" Sakura's tears ran down her face and dropping down on her thighs.

"If you love her that much…then tomorrow…if tomorrow you still go to her…then…instead of letting you go…I will go instead…" Sakura hugged herself.

"Even though I love you…even though I promised myself and to you that I'd stay by your side forever…even if you loved another girl…but…I can't keep that promise," she sighed.

"It hurts too much…I really don't want to live in this world anymore…Naruto, Sai, everyone…I'm so sorry…"


"What the hell was that yesterday, Sasuke?!" Karin yelled at him angrily.

"Sorry, just a little problem with my friend," Sasuke sighed.

"He called me a freaking SLUT!! What are you going to do about that, huh?!" Karin glared at Sasuke.

"What am I supposed to do?" Sasuke shrugged.

"GEEZ! You make me so mad!" Karin pushed him.

"Forget you!" she stormed off.

Sasuke pulled her back into his arms.

"Ok, ok…sorry about yesterday…it was just a little quarrel…and don't worry about being called a slut because to me…you're nothing close to a slut at all…" Sasuke murmured.

Karin's eyes softened.

She smiled at him.

"Aw…thanks, Sasuke," She turned around and hugged him tightly.

Sasuke's eyes widened when Sakura appeared in his mind.

He shook his head and hugged Karin back.


Sakura took out a kunai.

"Sasuke…I love you…" she cried softly.

Sakura slowly slid the kunai across her wrist.

Her eyes closed tightly in pain.

"It feels so painful…but…it makes me feel so free…" Sakura began to cut more and more.


Sasuke grabbed a cup and drank down the wine.

"Sasuke…stay with me forever…" Karin purred and sat on his lap.

Sasuke smirked at her.

"Leave your wife…and stay with me," Karin put her arms around Sasuke and leaned on him.

Sakura came into his mind again.

Sasuke closed his eyes tightly.

'Damn…why does she keep coming in my mind?!' he thought.


Sakura looked at all the bloody scratches on both of her arms.

"So much blood…" Sakura looked at the blood on the floor and the ones that stained her clothes.

"Sasuke…Sasuke…I love you…" Sakura sobbed quietly and threw the kunai away.


4 hours later

Sakura washed her dry blood away.

She sighed and slid down the door.

"I guess…I really do have to go tomorrow…" she looked down sadly.

"Sasuke…I'm so sorry…I can't help you anymore to rebuild your clan…Karin is the only one for you…"


"Come with me tomorrow…very early like today, ok?" Karin smiled.

"Ok…but only for a little while…my wife is at home…and I feel kind of bad for waiting for me all the time," Sasuke shrugged.

"Ugh…fine," Karin pouted.

"See you." Sasuke kissed her nose and walked away.


Sasuke opened the door.

He sensed something wrong.

He silently closed the door and looked around.

Sasuke's eyes widened when he saw blood all over the living room wall.

"Sakura?! Sakura!" he ran into the bedroom.

He saw Sakura in the bathroom, sitting.

Sasuke grabbed her and hugged her tightly.

"Sa…suke?" Sakura's eyes saddened.

"What happened here?!" Sasuke looked at her worriedly.

His eyes scanned over her and gasped at her arms.

They were all bloody and cut.

"Did you do this to yourself?!" Sasuke glared at her.

Sakura stayed quiet.

Sasuke sighed and shook his head.

He took a bandage from his pouch and wrapped around her arms.

"Don't ever do this again…" Sasuke murmured.

Sakura stared at him.

"Are you worried? Do you care?" she asked quietly.

Sasuke's eyes widened and realized his actions.

"Um…no…but, you're my wife, so I have to take care of you…" Sasuke replied slowly and looked away.

"Thank you…I'll…I'll go clean up the living room…" Sakura stood up slowly and walked to the living room.


Sasuke stared at Sakura scrubbing of the stained blood on the walls.

"Sakura…why were you cutting yourself?" he asked.

Sakura stopped scrubbing.

She smiled faintly at him.

"You don't care and you're not worried, right? I'm just your wife…so you just have to take care of me, and I'm ok now…so…those questions don't matter very much…" Sakura murmured.

Sasuke glared at her.

"It does matter! It's your fault for making me worry and care for you like this!"

Sakura's eyes widened slightly.

Sasuke gasped and stayed quiet.

"I…I mean…" he looked down.

'Why the hell am I saying such things like that?!' Sasuke shook his head.

Sakura slowly looked at him.

"Sasuke…thanks…for worrying about me…" she smiled warmly at him.

His eyes widened at her smile.

'She…hasn't smiled at me like that…ever since I left Konoha and in our marriage…' Sasuke felt like he just melted inside.

"Sasuke…answer me…" Sakura stood up and walked to him.

She knelt by him and stared at him steadily.

"Answer me…you love her, don't you?" Sakura asked quietly.

Sasuke's eyes widened.

"What do you mean?" he looked away.

"You know what I mean…do you really love her that much?" Sakura looked at him with desperate eyes.

Sasuke sighed and gently pushed her off.

"Sakura, I'm going to sleep…you're kind of annoying me," he murmured and went into the bedroom.

Sakura looked down and smirked sadly. "So…it seems…like I do have to go tomorrow…"
