The Truth Shouldn't Always Come Out
Chapter 21
Sasuke sat up in his bed at midnight and rubbed his head, Akamaru was in his room laying on the floor at the foot of his bed and he raised his head from his paws to stare at Sasuke. Sasuke ran his hand through his hair in frustration.
"Why can't I get to sleep?"
Akamaru whined at Sasuke and he sighed.
"Yeah it probably is because she's gone…I miss her and its only been one day."
Akamaru smiled at Sasuke and he smacked his head.
"Im talking to a dog again."
Sasuke sighed again and stared at Akamaru. Its all stupid Bunraku's fault.
"Bunraku."
Sasuke growled and Akamaru gave a short whine in agreement.
"You think something is strange about that guy too?"
Akamaru nodded and pointed his hair in the air and sniffed trying to make a point before looking back at Sasuke.
"He doesn't smell right to you?"
Akamaru nodded again and he looked around as his ears perked up. Akamaru could hear her, Sasuke had to see this. Akamaru got on all fours and gave a short bark before he trotted over to Sasuke's side of the bed and nudged he side.
"Please tell me you don't want to go out for a midnight stroll."
Akamaru smiled at Sasuke and Sasuke groaned out as he got out of bed slipping on a pair of faded jeans. He quickly grabbed a black shirt that was a button up but he only put his arms through it too tired at the moment to button up the shirt. Akamaru ran down the stairs and waited impatiently for Sasuke and started to nudged him out the door.
"Okay what's the rush."
After Sasuke locked the door Akamaru barked loudly and ran out into the town.
"A- Akamaru!"
Sasuke yelled as he started to run after the dog. Stupid dog, running off at night what the hell could that dog be doing!? Sasuke ran after Akamaru for a few minutes around town until out of nowhere he just stopped.
"Akamaru im going to kill you if you do that again."
Sasuke stated out of breath as he leaned over himself and put his hands on his knees. The sound of a piano filled his ears as he heard a female's soft voice humming along with the melody of the piano.
"What is that?"
Sasuke followed the music and ended up in a studio that seemed abandoned. He could see a black baby grand piano and he stood there only to feel a nudge at the back at his knee. Akamaru whined very softly that he was sure only Sasuke could hear it, and he nodded over to the piano. Sasuke took the message and started to walk around the piano to actually see who was playing. He saw her pink hair and instantly stopped. Sakura actually looked different…her skin was a ghost pale color and it seemed to glow slightly from the moonlight that was coming in from the window. Sakura was wearing a black dress that went down to her thighs while the straps were white. Her pink waist length hair that was normally straight down seemed to be defying gravity around her body it a way that shaped out her face perfectly. And then there was her face…Sakura's usual light pink lips seemed actually a darker shade while her cheeks were more rosy. Her eyes seemed brighter and it actually looked like…
"Sakura?"
She looked up at Sasuke and squinted her eyes. Sasuke ran up to her and grabbed her shoulders.
"Sakura, can you…"
Sasuke noticed that her eyes seemed to actually be looking into his.
"Sakura can you see me?"
"S-Sasuke? You look really fuzzy."
Sasuke stopped for a moment she said 'look'. Look! Sasuke laughed out loud and hugged Sakura tightly.
"Sakura you can see you idiot!"
Sakura didn't hug back at Sasuke and he pulled away.
"Sakura?"
"I can barely see, just shadows. You just look like a shadow."
Sasuke held Sakura's face in his hands.
"You should be overjoyed Sakura, that at least you can see shadows."
"But im not."
Sasuke started to glare at Sakura, she was being stupid. She has been blind for a long time and then out of no where she can see shadows and she isn't jumping for joy.
"He's torturing me."
"You mean Itachi?"
"No, I don't know who he is but he is doing this on purpose . He took away, and now he's giving me a little back. Just to mess with me. Because he understands that I want it, that I crave for it and he just wants to play with me."
Sakura sobbed and the only thing Sasuke could do was wipe away her tears.
"I-I just want it so bad, I want it all."
A small noise was heard and Sasuke activated his sharigan. Right as he activated it and was looking at Sakura she started to scream in pain. It was excruciating and all the pain was in her eyes.
"Sasuke stop it!"
"Sakura I-"
Sasuke deactivated his sharigan and Sakura stayed still for the longest time her eyes closed shut.
"Sakura im sorry I don't know what happened."
Sakura opened her eyes and seemed to be looking down at her hands. She flipped them over a few times and was actually shaking.
"S-Sasuke, what did you do?"
Sakura looked up and smiled before Sasuke felt himself tackled to the ground and kissed on the lips.
"Sasuke I can see! I can fucking see you! What the hell did you do?"
Sasuke stayed quiet and laughed and so did Sakura. They couldn't stop laughing and Sasuke was the one to kiss Sakura. What they didn't notice was that a man was standing in the shadows leaning against the entrance. Bunraku smirked evilly, oh how cute. Sakura thinks Sasuke gave her, her eyesight back. When really I did, at least Sasuke will be off my case. Sai appeared behind Bunraku and watched the scene and winced in the slightest bit that you would have to be looking for it to see it.
"Sai lets leave them be, it wont last long."
Bunraku started to leave and Itachi or Sai followed and followed his arms over his chest.
"Why did you do it?"
"I did it because they need to be distracted. With Sakura having her eyesight back not only is the whole town going to be up in spirit not thinking about anything horrible. The Hokage Tsnaude will be very busy trying to figure out how Sakura just suddenly could see again. All of these distractions will be good for me to get in closer into the small group Sasuke has. Oh and about that girl you were using…"
"Karin?"
Bunraku nodded.
"Exterminate her. She isn't a use to us anymore."
"Done."
