I'm officially a workaholic, I was planning on posting up the next chapter tomorrow but I couldn't something made me do it today.
Okay guys, I decided that...
I CANT MAKE UP MY MIND!! WELL now that this is posted up..I want you guys to choose between a sequel, an epilogue..In my opinion I would say an epilogue, but it is completely up to you guys, I will do whatever you guys say.. and I cant make up my mind!!. I'm sorry for those of you who were hoping for one, I really think that it wouldn't be that much of a hit. Anyways, I really suck at endings, so don't expect too much of me...honestly I was like freaking out. I didn't know how to end it, I even resolved to my 21 year old brother to help me out, and you know what he was suggesting? Let me tell you so you guys could have chosen between his or my ending. HE WAS TELLING ME TO KILL OFF SASUKE! Can you believe that? I just don't have the heart to kill him. At first he said to kill off Sakura, I was like you're freaking nuts, I ain't doing that. & then he's like 'Fine kill of that Sasuke guy.' I was like 'Hell no! Never mind Eric I'll figure it out on my own, thanks for nothing.' anyways, compared to that idea I don't think mines is THAT bad.
MaybelleDragon-Chan: Odd? Okay, well, I am an odd person so it all works out, and yeah I don't even know where I got the idea to do the dream. I was just really really bored. :D
kirei na yukki: You were born of Friday the 13th?! Wow, do you have bad luck? I know right, Sasuke will be all pulling out his eye makeup from the purse. God, that would be traumatizing too. You're a bad kid! Lol, jk, the only homework that I really slack on it Geometry and that's because I can care less about it. I hate Geometry. You are so freaking awesome. You're the only one who demanded me to take a break lol. :D
Theblackroseofkonoha: Aw, poor Sasuke, you don't care for him?
ForgiveButNeverForget: A prophetess? I say you do! Yup, Itachi's pretty mental, well because he's the all powerful Itachi it probably wasn't too hard for him. :D
Adara Rose: Seriously, after picturing Sasuke with an afro, I almost cried. I was like, oh my god, I will rip his hair out. :D
Jay95: Lol, well you'll find out in this chapter! I'd probably die falling from a few feet. I'm that weak. Lol, well anyways Itachi HAD to be in there I suppose cause I mean, what would have happened to his so called threat...even though, he pretty much sucks cause...well you'll just have to see.
Teenyjewel: Yeah, I mean she was kind of cursed from her birth so yeah it was only a matter of time before her... what...how many near death experiences? I lost count.
PR Sakura: I know! I was traumatized! I was so scared. I had nightmares picturing him in the clothes, the afro, the talk...everything. I'm scared. :(
Sadbrowneyes976: Tell your friends I said 'Hola' and that i'm glad they liked it! WOOT. Oh wow! Are you that clumsy? Sakura is like WAYY clumsy.
Sariasprincy: Lol, yeah apparently that's what Sasuke thought too! Did you notice his reaction?! I'm glad you liked it!
Lozzieh: YAY! Thanks.
-kyuubiqueen-: OHOHOHOHO, I added something in there for you. And I went to Google and just typed in 80's talk. Lol, and it came up. Lol, are you hyper? Well, anyways I hope you like the part I dedicated to you :D
NikkiTheHyugaChick: YES! I have noticed! I think the last chapter the reviews were actually longer then the stories! Maybe that's why my chapters are shorter? My hands are like falling off by the time I'm done replying to them lol. Wow, so your mom is like way strict on the whole Vegan thing huh? Is sounds to me like its practically forced!? Lol. I don't like all that many vegetables either, so the green salad does not sound good to me at all. yeah isn't it sad? I'm a bakers daughter, and I can't cook. I'm pathetic I know. Like I said, leave it to me and I'll find a way. I'll just pour the milk and then POOF! It catches fire. Lol, that would suck so bad. I know huh?! YES! A straight jacket! Ive always wanted one! I have absolutely no idea where I got killer bananas from but I could totally picture it. That's why people die these days...they all slip on banana peels. They're evil I tell you...EVIL! I know I mean I don't mean to be well...mean, but yeah I know what you mean with the whole 'sneak a preach' thing. Some stories just amaze me. OR no offense to bad spellers out there, but there will be a story where every single sentence makes no sense to me because either every single word is completely misspelled or the whole sentence just makes absolutely no sense. God, I hate that! It's like we've seen their gorgeous eyes about 60 times we get the point! Do something! Slap a bitch, kick him, kick a puppy. I don't care just do it! Lol. I don't like chocolate. I know. Again, I'm a freak. I'm just very unique nikki don't criticize me! Lol just kidding but I really don't like chocolate. Okay I agree!! I was all Nikki probably thinks i'm a freak of nature that laughs at little kids deaths. No, seriously that was the only death I have ever laughed at. Did you see the vid? I mean even their pastor made a joke out of it he's like 'We've heard of someone drowning in a foot of water, but sand?" ANYWHO; I have seen Family Guy and I know what your talking about! I love that show...Giggity giggity goo. Lol I love Quagmire. Anyways, EXCALIBUR! Have you seen Fate/Stay Night? I love that show. I know you've seen Fruits Basket considering your disclaimer on one of your chapters where you said you would kidnap Kyo or something lol... but I like that show too. It's one of my favorite. AN EXORCISM! OH MAN! I saw how they really did one on TV, and it was so intense it scared the shit out of me, some guy had a demon in him and he would wake up with scratches all over...it was creepy. Anyways MUAHAHAHAHHHA I never noticed that you do an evil laugh in every one. Huh. GOODBYE ADIOS AMIGA.
Redeyedgreenie: I don't know can it go on?! Lol yeah, ok well you'll find out in this chapter! It really freaked me out too, especially since I was coming up with the horribleness of it all. I know! GNARLY TA-TA's I love it lol.
Chapter 20
The Beginning of The End
I felt my stomach drop, as I fell 320 feet. The air rushed through my ears and my hair lashed around violently. I'm going to hit the water hard, and I'm going to die, I just know it.
I've already mentioned before that I can't swim. So if my fall doesn't break all my bones against the water, then I'll drown. It's a lose-lose situation.
I flailed my arms frantically, trying to hold on to the dirt wall of the cliff. If I had to choose between my life and Sasuke's...I'd rather die. My nails scratched at the dirt, as I panicked, I may actually die today.
Just as I had about another 100 feet to fell, I dug my hands and feet into the dirt wall and grabbed a hold of a vine from an overgrown wild plant. I knew it wouldn't be long before the vine snaps and I'll plummet down the rest of the 100 feet. Maybe, the pain won't be that bad from 100 feet. Can I still survive?
As I literally hung for dear life, I could hear grunting and shouts being exchanged from above.
Please don't let Sasuke get hurt. Please don't let him get hurt. I repeated the mantra until my head hurt. My arms were going numb, I won't be able to hold on for much longer.
I couldn't make out the words that the two brothers so harshly exchanged. But I knew that in a few moments only one brother would over rule the other. I just hoped it was Sasuke.
I desperately clung to the vine. My hands slowly slipped from its grip. As I held on for my life, the shouting above me stopped.
Who won? Who won? I want to make sure before I face death. I looked above me just before I lost my grip, to see Sasuke look over the cliff. It pained my heart to see him, with blood running down his cheek, and arm. But he was alive.
He's alive! I'm satisfied. I'll welcome death with open arms. I smiled at him as I plummeted down.
Everything went in a flash...
I see him jump over the cliff...
Next thing I know we've got our arms wrapped around each other as we plunged into the freezing cold water. I shut my eyes tightly. I held my breath as the water rushed into my ears.
He jumped, to save me. I can't believe that he actually jumped off, to save ME! I could still feel his arms tightly holding my body against his, and I was so happy, despite the fact that the pressure on the water when we fell was so strong that it had broken some of my ribs. It hurt...really bad.
80'S, CREEPY, SASUKE!
What the fuck? I told you that, that image would probably haunt me for the rest of my life. My eyes snapped open when I saw the horrendous image of Sasuke with an afro, and a leopard print purse.
Sasuke stared at me, with a unreadable expression on his beautiful features. He looked at me with the same glare from last time, like he was looking into my soul. Why is it that I can nev-
W-what?! Why is...is Sasuke leaning in towards me?! What do I do?! I didn't have time to even think up a reaction, or what to do. His lips brushed mine lightly. My eyes were opened wide in shock, but my eyes unwillingly closed. I would say something like 'I inhaled his wonderful scent' or something like that, but i'm in water. But let me just tell you, it's as magical as it sounds. My body felt like electricity had just ran through it. Imagine electricity running through you, while your in water. Tell me...that doesn't spark something? At first I was hesitant, and then I gave in, and leaned into the kiss. I put everything I had into it.
All those times I swooned over Sasuke.
I had decided that falling down the stairs, ripping my pants, showing my ass to the world and Sasuke in the elevator, being late to work, curtseying when I took Sasuke's order, my first encounter with Karin, getting dirty looks from chicks, having crumbs on my face, Sasuke seeing my e-mail to Ino, getting woken up by Ino at 5 in the morning, dropping a glass cup on a guys car, almost getting crushed by a semi, my head colliding with a tree, the old lady and her cookie, the lousy tip, the star in the sky actually being a satellite, nearly getting raped by 3 men, getting knocked out by a pipe, mistaking earth for heaven, getting drunk, getting cut by a flying piece of glass, almost flying out of a car, meeting Itachi, getting my heart broken by Sasuke, getting stranded on a mountain, wrestling with Sasuke, getting ignored by Sasuke, fighting Karin, getting lost at Hinata's house, losing to my own challenge, agreeing to Sasuke's challenge, Ino's e-mail, getting attacked by a bear, stabbing my foot, and meeting Itachi again was such a little thing, now that I was here with Sasuke.
I could stay here forever and be happy.
That was such a cute thing to say huh? Yeah, but I can't stay here forever because I'm in water.
When I realize that my stomach did a little flip, and I'm no longer in water, my face was bright RED. I was so embarrassed now, what do I say?
Sasuke smirked at me, and I finally realized that I had a chance. I had a chance to live a life with Sasuke. I could finally let go of this miserable life.
I knew that we would find a way down the mountain, I felt like I could do anything right now. Seriously, bring that bear to me right now and watch me wrestle it down to the ground without breaking a sweat.
"Yeah I mean seriously what did you do to him?" I asked cautiously. Since we had gotten out of the river/waterfall he had ignored the fact that he had kissed me. I on the other hand kept avoiding his glances that he would give me once in a while. I don't see how he could just act like it never happened. I don't even know what to think.
"Well, he thought he was being smart by distracting me, he kept talking about how much better he is then me and stupid things like that. All it was doing was getting me angrier, so I just kind of exploded on him. I ended up knocking him out."
"How?" I asked as I limped. Sasuke had been helping me walk the whole time. It seemed that every time something life threatening happened, Sasuke was there to save the day.
"It was pathetic really, I mean the GREAT Itachi my dad always bragged about got knocked out when I threw a rock at him. I almost laughed out loud." He said smirking. I laughed.
"Hey, so what's up with his face?" I asked him.
"Who? Itachi? What do you mean?"
"Don't tell me i'm the only one that's noticed those...like what the fuck are they? Wrinkles?" I said as I leaned against Sasuke. My arm was slung over his neck, and Sasuke's arm hung loosely around my waist.
A/N: To -kyuubiqueen- I just had to put it in here, the whole what are those wrinkles on his face thing.
Sasuke just never ceased to amaze me. He threw his head back and laughed. God, it was more glorious even then the first time I heard him laugh.
"It's like a birth defect." He said grinning. OH, I'm about having a heart attack he is SO hot.
I laughed.
"What, like a birth mark?"
"No a birthmark would be something normal, that, Sakura, is a birth defect."
"Okay, so one more question."
"Yeah?"
"Were your parents drunk when they named him?"
Sasuke smiled.
"I wouldn't know, but they probably were, I mean Itachi?" Sasuke said as he looked at me.
"You know, you're the first, to make me smile." He said, as he flashed me another grin. I blushed a crimson color as I tried to face the other way. He gently lifted my chin up with his free hand and looked into my eyes. As he caressed my cheek, my vision got blurry, my foot throbbed more than ever, and my broken ribs pained me once again. Sasuke leaned forward, his mouth brushing my ear.
"You're beautiful you know that?" I heard him whisper before I was taken into a deep darkness.
"Sakura! Sakura! Wake up. Please! You've been asleep for too long. Why won't you wake up?"
I'm here, Why, why can't I wake up? Stupid conscience. Maybe if I try and remember the horrendous 80's Sasuke?
No, not working. C'mon, just wake up now. I feel like crap.
"Since you can't hear me...I wanted to tell you something..." I could hear Sasuke next to me. I could hear him sigh, I wanted to reach up to him and just touch him. Just to prove that his being here wasn't all just a dream.
"Ever since I met you...I've changed..." He stopped as if debating whether to go on or not. Sasuke I can hear you.
"Before I met you, I hadn't even smiled in years. I barely even spoke...you showed me how to laugh, how to smile." If I could wake up right now...I'd have tears in my eyes.
"I'm confused. My stomach does a weird flip every time I'm near you. When I see you smile, my day just brightens up a little bit more. When I hear you laugh, it's as if I could listen to you all day. When I look at you, I feel like all my pain is gone.." He sighed.
"I know I'm not good with things like this. I don't even know what to make out of these feelings...I've never been in love, I've never even liked a girl, I always thought they were annoying...I love how in a time like this you'd probably say something witty and mean, and then I'd shout back at you...even though we both know we're kidding..."
My eyes are watering, I can just feel them, Is my bad Karma ending? Maybe...my life was never so bad in the beginning, I've always had Sasuke at my side.
"I guess what I'm saying is..." My heart was racing.
"This is really hard for me to say..." Then don't say it. Don't say it. I always wished for you to say something to me, something that would make me feel recognized...I never thought I'd get this far. I won't know what to do. Don't say it. Please, don't say it.
"Sakura..." No. No. No.
"I love you."
A tear leaked out of the side of my emerald green eyes. My eyes fluttered open as I tried to adjust my vision to the bright lights that hung over me. I tried to raise my arm up to shield my eyes from the lights but someone beat me to it. Sasuke stood over me.
"S-Sasuke...where am I?" I asked in a hoarse voice.
"A hospital...you've been asleep for two weeks." He said with a hint of relief in his voice.
"SAKURA-CHANNNNNN!" Naruto yelled as he ran into the hospital room.
"Forehead girl how could you get yourself in a position like this?" Ino said as she huffed into the room.
"S-Sakura-Chan. I'm glad your ok-kay." Hinata said as she walked in after Ino.
"You're so troublesome." A lazy Shikamaru said as he dragged his feat behind Hinata.
"Neji! Get your ass in here! I'm so glad your ok Sakura!" Tenten said walking in. Neji came in slowly, as he paced around the room he looked over at Sasuke.
"So, what happened man? Oh, Sakura you're a fighter, the doctor said you had lost so much blood, and that if you hadn't came in at the time that you did, they might of had to amputate your foot."
My face contorted into a horrifying expression. What would I do without my beloved foot?
Sasuke's face had turned a crimson color and he shuffled his feet nervously. He then looked up.
"Guys, get out, she needs to rest." He said trying to shoo them out.
"Wait." I said.
"Before you all go...Naruto, I'm happy that you care so much about me. Ino, shut the fuck up, you are no friend to me, I can't believe you even said that to me in that e-mail, Hinata, you're my best friend and i'm so happy that you came to visit me, Shikamaru, you need to freaking exercise or something because if you keep sleeping that much your going to end up getting obese. Tenten, I love your attitude, I'm so happy I met you. Neji, you are one strange guy, but you seem to be keeping Sasuke in check." I finished. They all beamed at me before filing out of the room, before Sasuke could leave I grabbed his arm.
"& Sasuke?"
"Hn."
"I love you too." I smiled up at him. His face flamed up into the color of a tomato.
"Y-you uh, y-y-ou hear-rd th-that?" He said stuttering. I had never seen him look this bewildered. It made him even cuter. I'm proud of myself, I had actually had the guts to say it to him.
I nodded.
"I'm glad you did...I would rather die, then have to live...a day without you." I whispered as I pulled him down towards me.
I put my lips to his. I felt the electricity surging through me as he intensified the kiss.
BOO YAH! Scram Karma, I've found you're replacement. Although, I've enjoyed our time together...
I've found my true love.
Okay, I officially suck at endings. I've never been much good at it. And although this sucks major Butt-holio. I got a great idea, so besides not doing a sequel or doing a sequel I dont know still undecided, I'm doing a little extra, I don't know what to call it, It's not a chapter, it's more like...well you'll see. Sorry it sucked so bad, seriously I've never been good at them. Well anyways -Tear- I love you guys.
