Mother daughter talk. What will Sakura talk to her mother about? Let's find out.
Last time on before it's too late
"Naruto" Sakura called out. Naruto made his way to Sakura.
"What's up Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked as he grinned at her.
"Can you tell the others to leave me and my mother alone so I can talk to her?" Sakura whispered. Naruto stared at her before nodding as he told everyone to leave.
"Mrs. Haruno, Saku-I mean Mizuki wants to talk to you" Naruto said as he closed the door.
"Okie dokie" She said with a smile. Mrs. Haruno had turned around to face her daughter who was looking outside the window.
"Mom…" Sakura called out. "We need to talk"
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Mrs. Haruno had looked at Sakura as she smiled then went to sit on her bedside.
"What's wrong Mizuki-chan?" Mrs. Haruno's eyes widened as she saw something shine in her daughter's eyes. Tears? Sakura had grabbed a fist full of her blanket and began to cry hard. Mrs. Haruno pulled Sakura into a hug as she rubbed her back in circles.
"I-I'm leaving" Sakura managed to say through her tears. She could feel her mom tense up as Sakura pushed herself out of the hug. "I got engaged to a Kage named Kaoru Sinobi from Cloud Village, but I…I'm still in love with Sasuke Uchiha…" Sakura said. Unknown to the mother and daughter, Naruto, Ino, Misa, Tsunade, Neji, and Karin were in the room listening. There was a wall blocking their view of each other. All they could hear was Sakura's voice.
"S-Sasuke Uchiha…" Mrs. Haruno repeated. She put her hands to her lap. Sakura nodded as she continued.
"Kaoru was going to kill Hinata-chan, Neji-kun, and Hanabi-chan. But he soon wanted to marry me to stop him from causing a war. He wanted me to become his bride. Shishou, Tsunade-sama, had to pick between losing me and having Konoha go through another war. I had agreed to go through with the engagement to protect Neji-kun and his cousins. Not just them, but the whole village as well. They are all important to me and help me become who I am today." Sakura had paused as her mom stared at her. "I wanted to protect you too"
Naruto and the others had a sad look on their faces. Karin, not knowing Sakura that well, wanted to know what she went through.
"I was always weak. Ever since I was a child, I was easily picked on. I had no friends and I was always the odd one out. But then Ino came and saved me" Ino could hear the happiness in her voice. "She helped me become stronger, but I began to feel like I was just in her shadow. Then you had that miscarriage. You and dad were so sad. So I tried to better myself. So when I found out both of us liked Sasuke-kun, I thought this would be a chance to become better as her and made her my rival. A few years later, I was placed into Naruto and Sasuke-kun's team. Did you know how hard that was for me?" Sakura asked her mother. Her mother had stopped looking at her and was staring out towards the window, but she was still listening.
"I was a weak girl with unusual pink hair and a big forehead. I had a teammate who was the last survivor of the Uchiha clan. He had a very powerful bloodline. I had another one who was the son of the fourth Hokage. He had the Kyuubi in him. They were so powerful…they always left me behind…making me watched their backs while they protected me. It made me think about myself. Who am I? Then something bad happened to you mom" Sakura said. You could hear her voice crack.
"Dad left us because he couldn't take your depression stage. You began to call me Mizuki. It was as if you never remembered your first daughter. It was like to you, Sakura Haruno never existed. You don't know how I felt, being called someone else, pretending to be someone else. But having Naruto, Sasuke-kun, and Kakashi there for me was my support. I was always happy. But then that support disappeared. Sasuke-kun left the village. Naruto started to train with Jiraiya. Kakashi was never there."
Naruto had frowned. He had always thought Sakura was doing okay when he left.
"Everyone else was busy with their own team. So all I had left was to pretend to be Mizuki. But I didn't want that, I wanted to be Sakura Haruno. So I tried to prove something to myself. Now going through this marriage can be the only way to protect everyone. It would be my turn to actually do something." Sakura said.
Sakura took a deep breath. She had talked a lot. She had expressed all her feelings and her mother had not said a word. Sakura still didn't look up.
"I had to leave the house. So I asked Tsunade to take care of you. But I soon found out your condition got w-worse. S-So whatever I just told you, you won't remember. You'll never be able to remember me." Sakura soon looked up to see her mother had tears streaming down her face.
"Why can't you get better?" Sakura cried out as she grabbed her mother and pulled her into a hug. "Why can't you remember me? Am I that unimportant?" Sakura began to break down crying. So had the others who were hiding; their hearts were crying out for Sakura. "I've decided to leave earlier to go to Cloud village with Kaoru-san."
Unknown to anyone in the room the mother and daughter had a glow surrounding them.
"I-I'm sorry" Sakura's mother finally spoke. "I'm so sorr-"Mrs. Haruno had fallen to the ground as Sakura tried to catch her mom.
"Mom!" Sakura cried out. Tsunade and the others had immediately gone to Mrs. Haruno as went to tend to her. Sakura just kept on crying and crying as Naruto, Ino, Misa, and Karin stayed.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It was Thursday night as Sakura had packed all her things. A carriage was going to go and take her belongings to cloud ahead of time. Sakura had invited Kaoru to tell him the news.
"I will marry you. We will leave Friday night" Sakura said in a monotone voice.
"That is excellent. I should get rid of Karin and her friends. She is no use to me now" Kaoru said. He soon stroked her cheek with his thumb. "You are so beautiful" Kaoru whispered to her as he kissed her on the lips gently.
That night with Sasuke had appeared in her mind as Kaoru began to push her on the bed and continued to kiss her. Instead of Kaoru, Sakura was thinking it was Sasuke kissing her, but she stopped herself.
"K-Kaoru…" Sakura moaned quietly as Kaoru began to kiss down her neck. "P-Please stop. Can we wait till the honeymoon? I-I'm not ready for this…" Sakura said.
"You were definitely ready when it came to Uchiha" Kaoru muttered under his breath.
"What?" Sakura looked at him confused.
"Oh nothing" Kaoru said with a smile. "Tomorrow night, we will leave this village and we will get married"
'But if you refuse, I'll kill you and destroy this village. Or I can just torture you' Kaoru thought.
"Since we're leaving early, and the wedding isn't until next week, we have a lot of time to find you a dress and for you to explore the village" Kaoru said as he played with Sakura's hair. "I must tell Karin-chan. Excuse me, I'll be going now"
Sakura nodded as she walked Kaoru out of her house. Kaoru planted a kiss on her lips once again.
"Do you love me?" Kaoru asked. For some reason, she saw Sasuke standing there instead of Kaoru.
"I-I love you" Sakura said hesitantly as she closed the door. She could tell. She was still in love with Sasuke. Her mother was placed in the hospital for a few days. She had fainted after the talk
and hasn't waked up since. Well Tsunade-sama and Misa were gonna be there to take care of her mother right?
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Kaoru had entered the apartment as a sleepy Karin let him in.
"What do you want?" Karin asked as she yawned.
"You are no longer needed" Kaoru said.
"Well I already told you I didn't want to be part of your plans anymore. So there's no use in tell me that" Karin snapped.
"Just to tell you, Sakura had agreed to marry me and we are to leave Friday night" Not only did Karin's eyes widened but Suigetsu's and Juugo's eyes had snapped opened. They weren't completely asleep. But they had changed their charka pattern to make it seem like they're sleeping.
"That's right. My plan had worked." Kaoru said as he started to laugh but Karin put her hand over his mouth.
"Shush! You'll wake up Suigetsu and Juugo. Anyways, do you even love Sakura? You only knew her for like what a month or two?" Karin asked.
"It doesn't matter whether or not I love her or not. She will be of good use. Good night" Kaoru said as he walked out of the apartment.
Juugo continued to think about what he heard.
'She will be of good use?' Juugo's eyes widened as he immediately got up.
"Karin, we have to save Sakura-san" Juugo said. Suigetsu had gotten up as well. "We need to tell the Hokage!"
"Tell the Hokage what?" Suigetsu asked.
"Remember the day we arrived when we went to see Kaoru for the first time?" Juugo asked.
"Yeah, what about it?" Karin asked.
"You see, while you were trying to kill Suigetsu, Kaoru had told me something. He told me what he was gonna do to Sakura-san"
Flashback (This was from chapter 8)
"I bet you're wondering why I asked you to come" Kaoru said.
Karin smirked. "Knowing you, it's something bad"
"Now, Now, Karin. Anyways the reason I called you is because I'm getting married!" Kaoru said as he jumped up and down. Suigetsu had a 'wtf' look on his face and Juugo was probably thinking what's wrong with this guy.
"Omg! Really? Who's the poor unfortunate soul?" Karin asked. Kaoru glared at her.
"I'm kidding" Karin said. "No…not really…" She muttered the last part. "So who's the girl?"
"Sakura Haruno" Kaoru said with a smile. Suigetsu, drinking his water, spit it out at Karin who happened to be in front of him.
"SUIGETSU!" Karin screeched as she punched Suigetsu across the room.
"Sakura Haruno? You're marring Sakura Haruno?" Juugo asked. Kaoru turned his attention to him.
"Why yes. Do you know her?" Kaoru asked.
"Uh…I heard about her."
"It seems my sweet Sakura is famous!" Kaoru smiled.
"How did you end up getting engaged?"
"I arranged a marriage with her. It's to stop me for bringing war into this pathetic village. I was asking for the deaths of the Hyuga clan's leader's daughters and nephew, but I saw her coming into the office and I soon changed my mind."
"So you like her" Juugo asked.
"To keep it between you and me, my reason for marrying her is to take away the Hokage's prodigy and then attack this pathetic village. Sakura already surpassed the Hokage. She's almost as strong her teammates. So once I have her, I'll use her powers against this village." Kaoru whispered to Juugo.
"She would never go against her village. I can tell" Juugo said. He didn't know Sakura well, but something in him didn't want her to get used like that.
Kaoru smirked. "If she didn't go with it, might as well just torture her until she dies or just kill her."
"I see" Was all Juugo said. Finally Karin and Suigetsu came back with him all bruised up.
End of flashback
"That bastard" Suigetsu said as he grabbed Zabuza's sword. "Let me just slice the guy to pieces and just solve everything"
"As simply as it sounds, you will have a hard time going against him. The Hokage….even Sasuke-kun would have a difficult time defeating him. He may not look like much, but he is to be feared. You shouldn't let his personality confuse you" Karin said. "We need to tell the Hokage about this now"
The three nodded as they went to Tsunade's office. She was working on the contract between her and Kaoru.
"Hokage-sama" Karin cried out as she opened the door. Tsunade was startled.
"What is going on?" Tsunade demanded.
"You mustn't sign that contract" Karin said.
"K-Kaoru-san, he's planning to destroy the village even if you give him Sakura's hand in marriage. He'd use her power to destroy the village. If she refuses, he'd torture her or just kill her on the spot. Sakura doesn't suspect anything yet, she thinks he wants her and she's only agreeing to the marriage now because of Kaoru's plan. He made a deal with Akatsuki to make a scene where-"Juugo was cut off by Tsunade's hand.
"I know about that plan with Akatsuki. Kisame had told me about it. I had told them Kaoru would not complete his part of the deal. But for Kaoru to actually do such an idiotic plan" The three watched as Tsunade had tapped her nails on the desk. Soon the desk shattered into piles on wood, causing the three to back away.
'What crazy strength she has!' the friends thought.
"She's scary" Suigetsu muttered under his breath.
"What are we gonna do?" Tsunade asked. "She's leaving tomorrow night and not even Naruto could stop her from leaving. That's how hurt she is."
"Sasuke's hurt too" another voice said. Everyone turned to see Kakashi waving outside as he entered the office. "He's too depressed to leave his apartment. Not even a battle with Naruto or Neji got him to come out."
"So he got it that bad?" Tsunade said.
"What do you expect; he's in love with her. Just the thought of him losing her to Kaoru was depressing enough. But for her to go through with the wedding was just enough to make him emo. I tried telling him to just apologize to her, but his pride is stopping him"
"Same with Sakura; she's as stubborn as he is. Maybe a talk with Naruto, Neji, or Ino might help her." Tsunade thought.
"You guys should try to talk to Sasuke" The three nodded.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Wow, they both have it bad" Naruto commented. All six of them had an earpiece to communicate about how both of them were like. Naruto, Neji, and Ino were outside Sakura's balcony. The same was with Karin, Juugo, and Suigetsu with Sasuke.
"Sasuke is just in his room lying on his bed" Suigetsu said.
"Sakura left the room…" Ino said. After a few minutes, she came back. "She's back with a…" Ino's face paled.
"She's back with what?" Karin asked.
"A punching bag…" Neji, Naruto, and Ino said together as they sweat dropped.
"It even has a picture of Uchiha's face one it" Neji said. He watched as Sakura began to punch it. After a few minutes, he noticed a change in her eyes as her punches began to go turbo. Ino's mouth dropped as Naruto's eye twitched.
"She has completely lost it with her anger. She's going turbo on it" Neji said.
"The stuffing is coming out" Ino said as she nervously laughed.
Karin could hear Sakura yelling in the background. Suigetsu sighed. "She's really pissed"
"SHANNARO!" Sakura yelled as she gave the punching bag a charka filled punch. The punching bag cried as it smashed her window and hitting Naruto square in the face. Ino and Neji sweat dropped as he fell to the floor.
"Ino? Neji-kun? What are you guys doing there?" Sakura asked as she saw the two give her a nervous smile.
"We've been spotted" Ino whispered to her mic. "We are going to talk to her now"
"Got it" Juugo said. "We should go talk to Sasuke as well"
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sasuke heard knocking on his window. He looked to see his old team smiling at him. He walked up and closed the blinds.
"Sasuke-kun!" Karin's voice was heard from the other side.
"Come on, we came to talk to you" Suigetsu said.
"There's nothing to talk about!" Sasuke said.
"Even if Sakura-san's life is in jeopardy?" Juugo asked. They didn't hear anything for a few minutes.
"Go to the front door…" Sasuke said.
Sasuke had opened the door as he let them in. He had escorted them to the living room as everyone got settled.
"What do you mean Sakura's life is in jeopardy?" Sasuke asked. "Not that I care or anything. But she is my teammate" Sasuke looked away. Karin rolled her eyes.
"You're the only one who can stop her from leaving. You're in love with her! All of us can see that. You're here staying in your house while you act like it's the end of the world. Just because your relationship with Sakura is broken, that doesn't mean you can't fix it. You'd be an idiot if you just let Kaoru get away with it" Karin yelled. Sasuke stared at her in shocked. Karin had never once yelled at him before.
Suigetsu looked at the clock in the room. In just two hours, Sakura would be heading towards the gate.
"We shouldn't tell him what Kaoru is gonna do yet…" Suigetsu whispered. Suigetsu looked at Juugo and Karin as they nodded, understanding what he was trying to tell them.
"You have two hours to think about it Sasuke: Juugo said as he got up. "You can at least try to stop her or just let her go and stay miserable" With that, Juugo left the house with Suigetsu and Karin behind him.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"He loves you Sakura" Neji said. The four were in her room. Neji had grabbed a chair from the desk as Ino sat on the bed. Naruto was currently being healed by Sakura. His head was on her lap as she healed the injury she inflicted on his head.
"You're just saying that to get me to stay, and it's not working" Sakura said.
"He's telling the truth!" Ino said. "Kaoru had placed some jutsu or something, so every time Kaoru snapped his fingers, Sasuke would be in a trance trigger for Karin. Karin was in on his plan, but she stopped. She didn't want to hurt you"
"You expect me to believe that?" Sakura asked.
"Why would we have any reason to lie to you?" Ino asked.
"He's pretty hurt you know" Neji said. "He hasn't left his house since yesterday. He wouldn't even accept the challenge Naruto and I gave him. No offense, but you shouldn't have ignored him. You guys could have talked it out."
"Can you guys please get out of my place? I need to get stuff ready for my departure…" Sakura said as she moved Naruto from her lap. She couldn't look at them. Ino frowned as Neji kept a passive face.
"Alright" Neji said. "But at least think about what we said. Try to talk to him or give him a chance if he wants to talk to you" With that, Neji had picked up Naruto and left with Ino right behind him.
Sakura closed her balcony door as she sighed. Maybe she should call Sasuke at least. Sakura looked at her cell phone as she dialed the numbers she knew by heart.
The phone began to ring…
(While reading this, listen to Lies by Big Bangs, I say it goes with the scene)
(Yeah)
love is pain
Dedicated to all my broken-hearted people
One's
old a flame... just scream my name
And I'm so sick of love songs
(yeah)
I hate them damn love songs... moment of ours
Sasuke was lying on his bed as he heard his cell phone ring. He held it as he checked the caller ID.
CALLER: SAKURA HARUNO
His phone rang a second time as he picked it up but didn't say anything.
"Sasuke-kun"
Sasuke couldn't say anything.
"Sasuke-kun?"
A couple seconds of silence was heard as he heard her sigh before hanging up. Sasuke stared at his phone. Why wasn't he able to answer? He looked at the clock. 7:30; in thirty minutes, Sakura was gonna leave Konoha…forever.
With just that thought Sasuke left his house running.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Goodbye Tsunade-sama" Sakura said as she bowed. "Please take care of my mother and thank you for everything you have done for me" Sakura soon felt Tsunade pull her into a hug. Tsunade had walked Sakura outside the hospital. Sakura wanted to see her mother one last time before she left.
"You were like a daughter to me. Be careful and be safe" Tsunade said. She felt Sakura nod.
"Promise me, you and everyone will try to make it to the wedding. It would be sad if I didn't have any of you guys there. But I think some people are mad at my decision" Sakura whispered the last part.
"Don't worry Sakura, I promise, I'll do my best to have them try to go" Tsunade said with a smile. Sakura nodded as she walked away. As Sakura walked, she passed by her friends, hugging them once last time. She soon headed towards the gates, but people keep stopping her to chat for the last time or hug her.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sasuke ran as fast as his legs would take him. He ran through the village to the gates hoping he wasn't too late.
Ino was watering the plants outside her shop as she saw Sasuke run past her with such speed.
'So he's going…' Ino though with a smile. "Mom, I'll be back later"
Lee and Tenten were walking around as they saw Sasuke run through.
"What youth!" Lee cried out.
"He's gonna stop her" Tenten said with a smile. "Lee, let's find Neji!"
Neji, Hinata, and Naruto were complaining about how Sakura was leaving and Sasuke was being a coward.
"That's what he is, he won't try and-"Naruto was knocked down.
"Get out of the way Dobe" A voice called out as the blur headed to the gates.
"You were saying" Neji said.
"Come on!" Hinata said. "We should let them have their alone time. Sasuke will come back with Sakura-chan"
The others had met up with Naruto and the cousins as they told them what they saw.
"Now, all we have to do is just wait" Karin said with a smile.
Sasuke had slowed his running down until something stopped him.
"Kaoru" Sasuke growled angrily.
"Someone is in quite a hurry" Kaoru smirked.
"I don't have any time for your games" Sasuke said as he punched Kaoru in the face. Kaoru had backed up a few steps as he wiped away the blood from his face.
"Nobody makes me bleed my own blood…nobody!" Kaoru yelled as he punched Sasuke in the stomach. "Why don't you do Sakura a favor and leave her alone. You've hurt her quite a lot. She would be happier with me. She doesn't need to be with a guy who left her for power"
Sasuke's eyes had turned red with the Sharingan.
"SHUT UP! You don't know what you're talking about!" Sasuke punched Kaoru back in the stomach before kicking him in the back as he ran away to where Sakura would be.
Sakura had stopped to where a certain bench was. It was the bench he had left her on. He wasn't coming. Sakura looked up at the sky to see the sun was setting and the moon was coming. She soon heard footsteps as someone called her name.
"Sakura" Sakura had turned around to see Sasuke standing in front of her out of breath.
"Sasuke-kun" Sakura had run up to him. "Y-You came"
"…" Sasuke didn't say anything as he moved closer to Sakura. He traced his thumb on her cheek as he wiped away a tear from her face.
"D-Do you love him…" Sasuke finally asked. "Do you love Kaoru?"
"Do you love me?" Kaoru asked
Kaoru had asked her this question last night. She had told him yes. She didn't want to get hurt again.
"Y-Yes, I do" Sakura said not looking at his eyes.
"I think you're lying" Sasuke said as he kissed her on the lips.
"No…" Sakura said as she pulled back. "I'm not lying" Sasuke could see tears in her eyes.
"I love you…" Sasuke said. Sakura's eyes widened as the tears fell.
"Why? Why do you say that now? I-I gave you my heart, right at this very spot! You just tossed it aside like it was nothing!" Sakura cried out. "Now many years later, you have the nerve to tell me that, at the same spot?!"
Sasuke winced. What she said was true. He had loved her back then, but he had to make sure Itachi was gone.
"Do you know why I said thank you to you that night?" Sasuke asked. Sakura didn't say anything before shaking her head.
"I was thanking you for loving me, thanking you for being by my side, and thanking you for trying to stop me" Sasuke admitted. "I loved you since back then, but I was scared that Itachi would have killed you if he found out"
"Please, d-don't say anything" Sakura cried. "Please, I don't want to get hurt again…"
"Why don't you do Sakura a favor and leave her alone. You've hurt her quite a lot. She would be happier with me. She doesn't need to be with a guy who left her for power"
Kaoru's word appeared in his mind. Kaoru was right. He would have made her happier. Sakura was in front of him crying, because of him. She would be happier with Kaoru. If she will be happier with him, then he would let it be.
"I see…" Sasuke said as he turned his back to Sakura. If he would see her face, he wouldn't be able to do it. Sakura looked up as she saw that Sasuke had turned his back on her. "I don't care anymore"
"W-What?" Sakura's eyes widened at Sasuke's sudden change of tone.
"I don't love you! Don't you get it? Go marry Kaoru! See if I care!"
"S-Sasuke-kun…" Sakura had walked up to him as she touched his shoulder. He had turned around with anger in his eyes.
"Liar…" Sakura whispered.
"I HATE YOU" He said as his whole body shook. He had pushed Sakura away from him as she looked at him frightened. Tears kept streaming down her face.
'Please, don't look at me like that'
'It will be better this way. You'll be happier'
Sakura had soon stared at Sasuke straight in the eyes. "I'm sorry…" Sakura had soon bowed to him. As she got up, she was sobbing. "…but I love you" with that she had ran to the gates as Sasuke watched her with no movements of stopping her.
I'm so sorry but I love you…
Bye bye….
"Sakura…I'm sorry but I love you, that's all I got to say. Look everything is gonna be alright, isn't it? So then, why am I crying?" Sasuke asked himself quietly as he and Sakura walked away from each other.
Sakura had made it to the gates. Kaoru was there with a carriage.
"Sakura-chan" Kaoru said as he kissed her. She tasted salty. Sasuke had said something to make her cry. He had got the best out of Sasuke. Sakura was now his. "Let's go"
Sakura didn't say anything as she entered the carriage as Kaoru followed suit.
"We will be there in two to three days. These horses are fast" Kaoru said. Sakura just stared outside the window as the horses began to move.
It was a silent ride for the engaged couple.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Everyone was at the Uchiha Manor, waiting for Sasuke and Sakura to arrive. They had heard the door open as Sasuke entered the house with no Sakura.
"Where's Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked. If Sasuke was shocked that all these people were at his house, he didn't show it. "Ah I get it, she's putting all her stuff back right?"
Sasuke just stared at him as Naruto felt his blood turn cold. Sasuke was crying.
"S-Sasuke…" Kakashi called out seeing the tears on Sasuke's face.
"W-Where's Sakura?" Chouji asked.
"She's not here"
"We can see that" Shikamaru said.
"She's heading to Cloud with Kaoru" Sasuke said. Before he knew it, he was up against the wall facing red eyes that belonged to Naruto.
"What do you mean she's heading to Cloud with Kaoru, teme?"
"What do you think it means dobe?!" Sasuke yelled. Everyone was shocked with his outburst. Naruto's eyes narrowed to the tear that fell along with Sasuke's outburst. His red eyes soon turned back to blue as it softened.
Everyone that saw Sasuke's face became silent and knew it would be best if they didn't push it and left. Sasuke didn't say anything as he ran to his room, slamming his door.
Naruto was the last one to leave the manor as he looked up at the moon. "Will things get better?"
