Chapter Eleven:
You Left Me
Anger is a symptom, a way of cloaking and expressing
feelings too awful to experience directly - hurt, bitterness,
grief, and most of all, fear...
Sakura closed her eyes as she walked out of the french doors, the cold air rushing at her bringing her back to reality. I cant believe I just did that, this is going to ruin everything! With a heavy sigh she took off her high heels and threw them in the bushes and began running. He's going to leave again!
Her mind was racing, I couldn't stay in control damn it! Shaking her head as she ran she blinked away the tears, Don't cry Sakura don't cry! Breathing heavily Sakura kept running, all she could do is run.
Her feet burned with the feeling of her bare soles grinding against the tar as she ran. How do I fix this? Her mind screamed over and over again. I cant loose him again... Sakura felt the tears roll down her eyes as she kept running. All she wanted was to be anywhere but there.
Sasuke walked back to the table, "Did you see where Sakura went?" He asked calmly. Hinata's eyes rose up to his with a quiet confusion.
Naruto looked up with the same look Hinata had, "You couldn't find her?" Sasuke rolled his eyes and took another shot of the golden liquid. "Teme... you shouldn't drink to much." he said simply seeing how the Uchiha was beginning to act.
"I need some air," Sasuke rolled his eyes and put the glass down walking out to Neji Tenten and Lee. Ignoring the happy smiles from Tenten and Lee Sasuke walked up to Neji, "Where's Sakura?"
Within the second Neji was on his feet, "What'd you do?" he spat darkly grabbing the Uchiha's coat. Tenten's eyes widened as she got to her feet grabbing his arm looking at him with worried eyes. "Spit it out Uchiha," he growled darkly.
Tenten's eyes darkened, "Neji!" she called squeezing his arm tight, "Let him go," Lee was on the other side of Sasuke seeing the Sharigan glare that was peering out from behind Sasuke's dark hair.
"Sasuke-san... please." Lee pleaded smelling the liquor on the man. "Tenten, get him out of here!" Lee called his eyes burning with a protective light. Tenten gave a nod quickly pulling Neji off Sasuke with a force no one would expect from her. She whispered softly to him as she patted his shoulder pulling him back into the party, noticing how Neji's dark glare never left Sasuke. "Sasuke-san... I must ask you not to do that again." Lee said with a breath as he looked at Sasuke. "You are looking for Sakura-chan?" he asked with a smile. Sasuke gave a soft nod, his skin crawling at the taijutsu user in front of him.
Lee smiled, "I can bring you too her." With that Lee turned his heel and began walking Sasuke following close after, "Sorry for Neji-san." Lee said scratching his head nervously. "He's very protective of Sakura-chan, and no offense or anything, you have a history of hurting her." Lee's voice was quiet, he honestly didn't mean any offense. Sasuke gave a nod understanding and almost glad that Lee was willing to talk. "You see Sasuke-san... everyone in the village knows about Sakura-chan's past, everyone but you." Lee's eyes became darker as they fell to the ground as both ebony haired men continued walking, "And you seem to be the only one who can hurt her."
He gave a bitter laugh as he looked over to his shoulder, "So forgive us for being causious with her and hostile to you." Lee was genuine about what he spoke. "No one expects you to act like they want you too." Lee smiled as he stopped, right in front of the path that lead to Uchiha memorial. "Here you are Sasuke-san. Sakura-chan's sacred place."
Sasuke's eyes narrowed as he walked past Lee into the memorial plot. Sasuke stopped and looked forward, listening to Lee's footsteps walk away, "Lee." Sasuke said simply as Lee's steps silenced. "Everyone wants me to save her... what am i saving her from?"
Lee gave a smile as he looked off into the distance. "Sasuke-san..." Shaking his head softly Lee smiled, "You're the only one who can save her because you're the one thing that she's still waiting on."
Sasuke's eyes closed as he felt the cold air sober him up, "Lee." he called again. This time Lee turned to look at Sasuke's back, "What if I cant save her?"
Lee noticed the hesitant tone in Sasuke's voice and he couldnt help but smile, "You will." he said simply as he gave a thumbs up even though the Uchiha wouldn't look, "You've already started." And with that Lee was gone, silence setting in around the Uchiha. Sasuke could feel his feet beginning to move, without his consent. The deeper the Uchiha went the more he started to think about his pink haired friend.
Sakura choked on a hidden sob as she looked at the stone full of writing. Taking out a senbon needle she carved the words "I still love you..." in an open spot. Her breath hitched in her throat as she kept her body knelt down staring at the ground, "Sasuke-kun..." she whispered feeling his chakra walk closer. "What do you want?" she spat darkly as she closed her eyes tight hoping her tears wouldn't escape.
Sasuke looked at her as she stayed on her knees looking at the ebony stone, "Sakura." She didn't move but he knew that she had heard. With a soft sigh he whispered, "What happened."
Sakura flinched, "Nothing happened!" she spat darkly, "You were drunk, nothing happened." she whispered quietly, repeating it over so she could convince not only Sasuke but herself. Silence fell over them as they both slid into their thoughts. "I didn't mean to kiss you..." she whimpered quietly.
"I did." he growled lowly. His voice was strong enough to snap her out of her thoughts. "What happened to you Sakura?" he asked as he stepped closer. Sakura had gotten up on her feet, a rage glowing in her eyes.
A low growl escaped her cherry lips as she spat, "You wouldn't understand Sasuke." Her fists clenched at her side shaking lightly with anger, "You've never had someone leave you!"
Sasuke's eyes became dark, lifting his head slightly to glare down at her, "My whole family Sakura." he spat back trying to remind her.
She smirked, standing her ground, "No. They were taken." she growled closing her anger filled eyes, stepping closer she felt her whole body shaking with the pent up anger she'd held back for so long. "My family left me! Naruto left me! You left me!" she almost screamed as tears filled her eyes, "Everyone fucking left Sasuke!"
Sasuke was trying hard to keep his solid mask, slowly stepping closer her reached out, "We came back Sakura, let us back in."
She pushed his chest, "You bastard! You don't understand," she shook her head hard showing him her porcelain arms. Scars slashed across most of her wrists glowed in the light of the moon. "I wasn't strong enough!" she screamed as tears finally fell from her eyes, "I couldn't keep you here..." she whispered as her trembling became worse, holding her body close, "I wasn't even strong enough to kill myself." she whimpered as she fell to her knees sobbing.
Sasuke knelt down next to her, every one's voices ringing in his head, Save her Uchiha, save her... Sasuke closed his eyes tight and grabbed her hand pulling her into his arm, "Sakura... stop lying." he whispered softly making her eyes widen. "You're the strongest one here, of all of us." he whispered as he looked down at her. "Never forget that." he said in a stern voice.
He could feel her body shaking, the tears still rolling down her cheeks as her head rested against his shoulder. "Sakura," he said simply making her look up. Her soft pink hair was splashed across her face and all he could do was push it behind her ears, "You're Haruno Sakura, do you know what that means?"
She looked up with glistening eyes, her whole body so fragile in his arms, her spirit almost shattered glass. "That I'm an annoyingly weak fangirl."
Sasuke couldn't help but smirk as he looked down at her, "No, not even close." his once cold eyes looked at her with a warmth no one would expect, "You are Haruno Sakura, the best medic in the Leaf village. Tsunade's apprentice, with amazing strength and skill. She is not a weak little fangirl."
Sakura tried to smile, she was happier now, "But I am annoying, right?"
Sasuke smirked and rolled his eyes, "You'll always be annoying Sakura, you stick in people's heads. You're unforgettable, even when you need to be."
Sakura's eyes closed as a smile crept on her face, her shaking had stopped and she was slowly falling asleep from her episode. Her hand was holding tight to his red dress shirt, her head slowly nuzzling against his chest. "Sasuke-kun..." she whispered softly. "Don't leave this time." she whispered with a soft smile.
Sasuke smirked and moved his arm under her knees picking her up bridal style, "I wont Sakura. I'm here to stay." he whispered back as he held her close and began walking away, but something caught his eye. I still love you... He could only smirk as his grip around her tightened, It'll be ok now Sakura.
Looking around Sasuke saw that the glow of the party was still lit, he couldn't go back with Neji still there. Jumping up the waterfall with Sakura in his arms Sakura sat down beside the sakura tree. Smirking Sasuke laid Sakura against the trunk of the tree, pulling off his black over coat to cover her.
Moving a loose strand of hair out of Sakura's face Sasuke took a deep breath and ran back to the party. "Sasuke-san!" Lee called as he saw the Uchiha run in, "Did you find Sakura-chan?" he asked happily. Sasuke's eyes darted to Lee and saw the man's smile. As Sasuke reached for the door Lee's eyes widened, "Sasuke-san! Neji-san's waiting for you..." he warned quietly.
Sasuke froze and nodded opening the door to have the Hyuuga's eyes turn to him quickly. Neji stood up from his chair and glared darkly at the Uchiha. Sasuke walked up to the Hyuuga with dark eyes, both of them silent glaring at each other. Tenten sat at the table looking up at the Hyuuga with weary eyes; she didn't understand what was happening.
The conversation Neji and Sasuke were having was silent but they both understood it. Within that second both Neji and Sasuke gave a nod, slowly walking through the doors. Tenten stood up and followed them outside with a worried look. "Neji-kun..." she whispered as she stepped beside Lee. "What's going on?"
Lee wrapped his arm around Tenten with a smile, "He might just save Sakura-chan." Tenten's eyes widened as she gave a quiet gasp as tears pooled in her chocolate eyes. She gave a pure smile as she watched Neji and Sasuke run off into the darkness.
