BloodyLove: Ye-Wait, what?
Me: That's right! Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles! If you don't read it, then you're a terrible person!
BloodyLove: Uh, I don't think I've ever read it. Am I terrible person?
Me: No why?
BloodyLove: But you just said…
Sasuke: Pay no attention to the crazed otaku. She spent the whole day reading the manga from start to finish.
Me: Technically, I spent most of Thursday AND all of Friday reading the manga. FREAKING SWEET PEOPLE!! IF YOU LOVE ME, GO AND READ IT NOW!! I warn you all though, there are MAJOR epic fails in there. BUT IT'S STILL AMAZING!! It's got everything a good manga needs! It's got action, romance, magic-
BloodyLove: Should we just go to the disclaimer?
Sasuke: Probably.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. If I did, there would have been some kind of crossover with Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles by now.
BloodyLove: Did she write that?
Sasuke: Doesn't she write all of them?
BloodyLove: Good point. TO THE STORY!
Me: An-Hey! That's my line!
BloodyLove: You were on a Tsubasa rant.
Me: Oh yeah! Now where was I…?
Sasuke:-_-' Let's just get going already…
Sasuke sat in his room, still stuck in the hospital after being awake for two days. Tsunade kept saying they wanted to make sure nothing was wrong, but he just thought they were stubborn as to letting him go. Sabishii had already been released, and sometimes she and Naruto came to visit, rubbing in the fact that he was stuck in bed. His main visitor though was Sakura, because since she worked at the hospital, she was able to see him during her lunch breaks.
He glanced at the clock and saw that it was time for her break. "Where is she?" he thought. He heard the door open and turned his head to see Sabishiii walking in.
"Hey Sasuke." She said, taking a seat next to him. Shine immediately jumped onto her lap, curling into a ball.
"Meow." He said, greeting Sasuke.
"Where's Sakura?" he asked, knowing that Sabishii would probably know. She spent a good amount of time here too, helping out wherever odd jobs needed to be done.
"She told me to tell you that she had some kind of medical emergency to take care of, so she won't be in for lunch. And speaking of which, she told me to give you this." She said, handing him a bento. He opened it and saw that she had packed him some onigiri and a tomato, his two favorites.
"Tell her I said thanks." He said, beginning to eat.
"Hey, what about the person who delivered it?" she asked, feigning hurt.
"What about her?"
"Well, I say that she should get some thanks too. Or that tray of food that the hospital gives you, but you won't eat because you're a stuck-up brat." She said, gesturing to the covered tray of food.
"If it'll shut you up, then go for it."
"Thank you." She said, grabbing the tray and removing the cover, revealing a bowl of kitsune udon and some gyoza. "I don't know why you won't eat this stuff. I'd eat it in a heartbeat." She said, picking up one of the gyoza. She popped it into her mouth, savoring the taste.
"Hn." He said, taking a bite into the tomato. They ate quietly, or more like Sasuke ate while Sabishii wolfed it down in less than a minute.
"Ah! Nothing like a nice bowl of kitsune udon." Sabishii said after drinking the broth. She turned her attention towards Sasuke, staring at him while he ate.
He suddenly became very aware of Sabishii staring at him. "What?" he asked, turning his attention to her.
She sighed. "Well, if you must know, Grandma Hokage showed me something when we got back from the mission."
"So?"
"Well, it has something to do with the massacre."
Sasuke stiffened upon hearing this. "What is it?"
"It would be better if you read it, rather than have me tell you." She said. She handed him a folder filled with documents that were yellowed with age. Sasuke opened the folder and began reading the contents, eyes widening as he continued to read.
"This can't be true." He whispered.
Sabishii looked at him, sadness evident in her eyes. "It is unfortunately. Everything in there, all that concerns the massacre, was ordered by the elders."
"Get out." He said voice heavy with anger.
She nodded. "I understand. Come on Shine." She said, getting up to leave. Shine jumped off her lap and followed her to the door. Sasuke was dimly aware of her opening and closing the door as she left. He sat in the bed, blank eyes staring at the papers in his hands.
"How can they sleep at night, knowing that they ordered a tragedy?" Sasuke thought, throwing the folder on the bedside table in disgust.
Sakura opened the door to Sasuke's room. "Hi Sasuke!" she said cheerfully. She walked in and saw that he was lying down on the bed.
"So he's sleeping huh? Guess I should come back later." She thought. She turned to leave when she noticed the folder on his bedside table. She walked over and picked it up. "Wonder what this is?" she thought, opening it and reading its contents. Her eyes widened in horror as she read it.
"Oh my God…" she whispered, too shocked to say anything else.
"Hard to believe, isn't it?" said a voice quietly. Startled, Sakura dropped the folder and turned to see that Sasuke was sitting up in bed.
"Sasuke…" she said, trailing off.
"Even after reading it, all I can ask is why. Why would those bastards do something like this? Why would they take everything away from someone so young, making his life a living hell?! Why would they…" he trailed off, tears beginning to stream down his face. Sakura took a few steps towards him and knelt beside him, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Why would they take away a boy's mother and father and then raise him to hate his own brother? Why Sakura, why?" he asked, leaning into her.
Sakura held him against her, slowly rocking back and forth. "I don't know why Sasuke, but I wish I did. I wish I did so that I could tell you why and end this suffering for you. But I do know one thing, and it's this; just because you had a broken ending to something, doesn't mean you should let it affect your new beginnings." She said, her own tears beginning to fall.
"Sakura?"
"I know that it must've been painful for you to lose them like that, and that's why you act the way you do today. And learning that it was all ordered doesn't help anything either. But don't you find it ironic that after every one of your broken endings, there was always someone there for you as a beginning?"
Sasuke thought about what she said. It was true that after the massacre, Sabishii had been there to be a friend for him. And when she left, he had met with Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi sometime later, who began to feel like family to him. Not to mention that when he left for Orochimaru, Sabishii had come back and he had begun dating Sakura. And now that this new ending had been shattered before his eyes, he found that he was soon going to start another beginning, and this was the beginning of his life with Sakura as his wife.
"Yeah, it is a little odd." He said, wrapping his arms around her. She pulled away just enough so that she could see his face.
"You gonna be okay now?" she asked, her voice filled with concern. He brought his face closer to hers, lightly pressing his lips against hers. He pulled away after a few seconds.
"I think so." He said, and brought her in for another kiss.
A/N: Yes, if you haven't noticed, I like making Sasuke suffer in my stories. It just comes to me!

Me: Yes I did. But, at least you all know what comes next!
