Sakura

I am sitting at my kitchen table. The clock read 8:47 AM. I can feel Sasuke's eyes on me from across the table. I know he is worried about me, but I want to tell him to stop. I don't want to make what has happen to Hinata about me, but I understand why he is. Hinata is one of my closest friends, besides Ino. You could almost call us sisters. Kakashi has given me time off because of this, he says, "Focus on you, Sakura."

But how?

I am up, walking around, eating sort of, and Hinata... She can't even open her eyes.

I inhale deeply through my nose, and finally look over to those waiting obsidian eyes, "Don't worry, babe." I say with a smile, but it doesn't reach my eyes.

He gives me a crooked smile in return, "Have you eaten anything this morning?"

"I don't feel hungry, at the moment." I tell him, with a flat voice.

He pulls his hand from mine and slides it down his face, "You need to take care of yourself." He says, the disapproving tone coating his words.

I scoff, and sip my coffee, "I'm fine."

He glares at me now, "Bullshit," He stand from the table and walks to grab a bowl and spoon, "You're far from fine." He growls.

I sigh, "Sasuke, I just said I'm not-"

"Quit," He says, sternly, as he grabs some cereal and pour it into the bowl, "I don't want to hear it." He grabs the milk and adds it as well, before returning to set it in front of me, "Eat." He says, handing me the spoon, and sits back in his spot at the table. He stares at me for a moment before turning to look out the window.

I push the cereal around for a moment. Why should I eat when she cannot? It's not fair. I clench my fists as I remember looking down at Hinatas broken form, and the helpess feeling I felt then returns, and it angers me, "Its not fair." I mumble.

Sasuke turns his eyes back to me, "What, love?" He asks, softly.

I slam my hands down on the table, and I stand, "Its not fair, damnit!" I yell, "Why should I eat this? When she is being fed through a tube!" I throw the spoon across the kitchen and hear it land with a clink. I begin the walk away and I feel Sasuke grab my arm, I rip it away from him and whirl around, "Don't touch me!" I hiss.

His eyes look as if I had broken his heart, "Sakura..." He whispers.

"Stop." I whimper. I grab my shoulders and sink to the ground, "I-I'm no good. I couldn't help h-her." It was then I felt the hot tears rolling down my face, "I-I tried."

I sit there for long moment before I feel Sasuke crouch in front of me, "Look at me." I shake my head, "Baby, please look at me." I raise my head slowly to look into his eyes, he reaches his hand out to me, but stops, "Can I touch you?" He asks me in a broken voice. It reminds me of a child begging to come out of time out.

The sound of his voice tore my heart in half and I threw myself into his arms, "I'm s-sorry!" I tell him through my tears, "You d-didn't deserve that. I just- I just...I don't know." I confess, clutching him closer to me, I feel his hand running through my hair, "I-I feel like I failed her. I c-couldn't help her."

He pulls me away from him, and grabs my chin gently in his hand to have my eyes meet his, "It's not you fault, love. I know you are blaming yourself, but you didn't know that was going to happen, because I know for a fact, if you did you would have ruined that motherfucker, and I would be right behind you; cheering you on." He says with a wink. His words make me feel warm, and all I can do is give him a broken smile. He pulls me back into his arms, and I feel safe. I hear him whisper, "Everything will be okay, my love." He begins to rock me, and I feel for a moment I feel at peace.

...

The next thing I know I am waking up in our bed, with Sasuke laying beside me. I look to the clock our night stand, it tells me its 11:17 AM. I rub my eyes and begin to lean up, only to be pulled back down against Sasukes chest, "And where do you think you're going?" A gruff voice asks.

A giggle escapes my lips, "If you must know I have to use the ladies room." I say, a playful tone goes with my words. I push up off his chest to give him a smile, along with a kiss on the cheek.

He wrinkles his nose in mock-disgust, "Ew, gross. Cooties." I laugh at him and lay down a barrage of my kisses all over his face. He rolls us over, to where his form covers mine, "I love your laugh." He tells me, as he pushs my bangs out of my face, "I missed it." My heart flutters in my chest at his words. He takes two fingers and pokes my forehead. The gesture causes butterflies to awake in my body. Its a way that he tells he how much he loves me with out having to say it.

I remember the first time he did it, with his cheeks stained pink. It was on our year anniversary, after we had gone out to dinner, and went to the park to pick flowers and sit at the fountain together. I had found a bucket left by a child and dumped the water over his head, which in turn caused a playful chase. When he caught me he shook his soaking hair at me, and brought me back to the foutain, only have us stand directly under the falling water, and I squeeled in delight when he pulled me into a heated kissed. When we parted I noticed his intense stare. I was taken back by it at first, but his eyes said everything I ever needed to know: He needed me, just as much as I needed him. Then he brought his fingers to my forehead, "Forever." He told me, his voice sounded like velvet. It was then that I knew I could never be with out him.

A smile came to my lips as I cup his face in my hands, "I don't know what I would do with out you, Sasuke Uchiha." I wrap my arms around his neck, and begin to pull him to me, as our lips are a breath away from each other I hear my phone begin to ring from the living room. My eyes open wide and I shove him off me. I hear him land on the floor with a thud and mumble something along the lines of how he is almost positive I have super human strength. As I am running down the hallway I yell, "Sorry, hon!" over my shoulder.

I grab my phone and it reads Incoming Call: Naruto Uzumaki . I press the answer button, "Hey, Naruto, whats going on?"

"You guys need to get down to the hospital. Now."
