Never Fade Away
Sasuke was in complete turmoil and shock. He jumped from roof to roof as far away from her balcony as he could. When he came to a stop, he sat upon the edge of a roof, and pondered his thoughts of Sakura. I don't understand, she falls in love with a stranger instantly. Is this how her love life will end up? During the fight, I was told she was in tears and collapsed just from stress. Kakashi even mentioned he was worried for Sakura. Because what if she does say something wrong and this, Gaara, attacks her for it. He's a violent person that could snap at any moment.
Sasuke pondered all through the night on what to do for Sakura. He hadn't slept, and decided he'd show up at her house again. So jumping back over the roofs over and over, he stopped at the roof facing her balcony. Waiting for a sound of maybe two people at the most coming from her room.
Luckily he only heard her set of footsteps. Then jumped onto her balcony and knocked at the balcony door. "Sakura" he called out.
Sakura's shuffled steps turned into rushed footsteps coming to the door. "Sasuke, are you.." she felt embarrassed again, and held her tongue. "Sakura, I don't think you should be with him. I mean, did you choose to have sex? We're twelve years old Sakura. We're not old enough for that kind of action." Sasuke stepped into her bedroom, and continued, "Did he force you Sakura? I don't know how they do it Suna, but this is Konoha, we have morals...How could you?" Sasuke could see Sakura turn from embarrassment to depressed.
Without realizing his own feelings, he lifted her chin and leaned in to kiss her. He felt her lips upon his own, which were so soft and succulent that he craved more. Placing his hands upon her back and pulling her towards himself for a deeper more tempestuous kiss, Sakura gave in. This was her crush, the boy that ignored her and called her out to be annoying, was now kissing her with passion and love she fantasized about for years! In her heart it felt completely wrong. He wasn't Gaara. Gaara made her feel older and sexy like no one else had. Sasuke was different. In his kisses, they showed respect and affection. He made her feel like herself. Delicate and innocent. But it was completely wrong. She was betraying her love for Gaara.
Sakura let go, and looked into Sasuke's eyes, "Why are you doing this?" she whispered. Sasuke was short of breath, and answered, "Because...you deserve better than him." "No Sasuke. I can't do this. I'm in love with Gaara. We talked about me going to Suna in a year or two. I...Sasuke, I've let you go. I'm sorry." Sakura gently pushed herself out of his grasp, and asked kindly for him to leave.
"No I won't, Sakura." Sasuke said in a matter of fact tone. He reached to grab her wrist, and whispered, "You shouldn't be with him. He doesn't even respect you. He's just using you." Sakura felt her eyes become warm, and the tears were being held back in her watery eyes. "Stop...you're hurting me" she breathed. Sasuke didn't listen, and clenched her fist tighter. "STOP" she shrieked.
Gaara was already on his way to Sakura to greet her this morning, and heard her shouting at someone from her balcony. Gaara rushed as fast as he could to reach her balcony and see before him, Sasuke Uchiha. "Let her go" Gaara enforced. He had been speaking from the roof across the balcony. Sasuke ignored Gaara, and was now clenching both of Sakura's wrists, "Leave him now. It's your chance Sakura!" Sasuke demanded. Sakura was in tears, because now she could feel her wrists were bruising. Gaara had jumped onto the balcony malevolent as ever, he used his sand from the gourd, clench Sasuke's legs and arms. "Let her go now, or I will break every bone in your body." Gaara barked. Sasuke hadn't let go, he had been clenching her wrists so hard, that when he broke them, Sakura shrieked louder then ever!
Sasuke looked back at Sakura and saw her wrist bones were sticking out of their skin. "Sakura...I...I didn't mean" Sasuke was appalled and let go. Gaara used the sand to cover Sasuke's body ready to do as he threatened. "Gaara don't. You'll show him in the final exam." Sakura winced. Gaara listened to her, and instead of harming Sasuke like he wanted, he threw him out the balcony door and into the street. "Fine. I'll take your word for it." he muttered. He turned around to look back at her wrists, "We need to get you to the hospital, Sakura." But Sakura was nearly ready to pass out from the blood flow. "Sakura don't fade away." Gaara breathed, but it was too late. Sakura had passed out.
As Gaara carried Sakura's body off her balcony and over the roof tops. Sasuke had remained on lying on the street, with thought running across his mind. Sakura never fade away. You'll never fade away from my heart.
