Part 13. Waking Up Beside You. By bleedformeee
/Tomorrow came too soon
I barely made it through today
Still empty inside
I guess nothing's really changed
I'm still afraid to feel
'Cause I cannot take the pain
I'm still afraid to feel
Afraid to lose someone again/
Sasuke couldn't help but wonder if going back to Konoha was such a good idea. His brain kept telling him to run away, far away. In fact, his heart was pretty much agreeing with his brain. His heart had been hurt far too many times and wasn't ready to be trudged on again any time soon. But for some unexplainable reason, his feet did not agree with his brain or his heart and were carrying him rather quickly towards Konoha. As he retraced his steps, all he could think about was what a big mistake he was making. 'What will I do if I get back to Konoha and she doesn't want me?' He thought. He decided he didn't want to find out as he felt a shiver trail down his spine. "Screw this!" He cursed. He turned rapidly around, but for some reason those damned feet of his kept in the opposite direction, which, of course, resulted into him tripping and falling into the dirt. "Oww." The word 'pathetic' came to mind. "I"LL SHOW YOU PATHETIC, YOU BASTARD!" Yelled Sasuke, trying to wipe the image of Itachi from his mind. His efforts were useless. Itachi's voice pounded through his head. "Are you scared? Afraid of... a girl?" The voice taunted him. Sasuke rammed his head into a nearby tree. That got rid of the voice. Unfortunately, it also knocked him out. He slumped down next to the tree.

Sasuke looked up into gentle green eyes. "Sakura? What are you doing out here? And by yourself no less? And what the hell are you wearing?" Questioned Sasuke, noticing her silky green robes. They brought out the color in her eyes.
"Shhh." She held her finger to his lips. Sakura knelt down next to him and kissed his jaw. She trailed her kisses up to his ear. "Come back to me." She whispered. Sasuke reached for her as she faded away.
-x-
/I wish that somehow
I could leave
My past behind
My fears behind
If I could only breathe you in
Every drop of you/
She was always on his mind. She haunted him, took him over. It was painful. No one had ever had this affect on him before. 'Since when did Sakura become so important?' He wondered. He pictured the once irritating girl that followed him around like a puppy. 'But that's the old Sakura.' Ugh. He tried to remember where he went wrong. How could he show such weakness? 'No, she's a decent ninja. She has excellent chakra control. That has to make her worthy... -er, I can't believe I'm debating the worth of the woman I love... The woman I love? Yes. The woman I love. I hope she still finds me worthy.' His beating heart quickened. He thought of her crying on the floor in the doorway and felt pangs of guilt well up inside him. Unbeknownst to him, his pace quickened. Even if she didn't take him back, he needed to see her one last time. 'I'm not taking no for an answer.' He decided. 'Even if I have to get down on my knees and beg.'
/I guess it's time to face the truth
And admit my past mistakes
Come to terms with all that's wrong with me
And all the things I'll never be
Why am I afraid to feel?
Afraid of what is true?
Why am I afraid to feel?
When all I really want is you?
To taste your skin
To share your thoughts
Would never be enough for me/
-x-
Sasuke was on auto-mode. He had spent all night and all day marching back to Konoha. He was on an important mission. A 'go-make-up-with-Sakura-and- hold-her-tight' mission. An 'if-she-did-somehow-find-someone-else,-kidnap- Sakura-and/or-kill-new-boyfriend' mission. He marched on towards the now visible gates of Konoha. He was so focused on his thoughts he didn't notice the familiar figure standing nearby.
"Back so soon?" The voice chuckled.
"Yes, actually. I-" He was cut off.
"-came to your senses?" The voice finished.
"Yes, Kakashi-sensei. I guess you can say that." Sasuke answered, slightly annoyed.
"Glad to hear it. OH! I forgot to give you your birthday present the other day. I've been waiting forever for you to turn 18." He lowered his voice, "I thought maybe you could use a copy, too." He slipped a book into Sasuke's hand. "Enjoy." Sasuke blushed crimson red and shoved the book into his bag. Underneath his blush he thought maybe he'd take a look at the novel later that evening...
Sasuke tried to regain his composure. "Ahem, so Kakashi-sensei, how is uh, everyone?"
"Oh, everyone's doing great. There are rumors that Ino and Shikamaru have taken their relationship to the next level. And-"
"Team seven, Kakashi-sensei. I want to know how team seven is doing."
"Then why did you say everyone?"
"I MEANT team seven when I said everyone."
"Why didn't you just say what you meant?"
"Damn it, Kakashi-sensei."
"Well, Naruto is pretty much the same. He's still obnoxious. Well, you should know that. You haven't been gone that long. And me? Well, I'm doing great! I-"
"And Sakura?"
"Yeah, what about her?"
"...How. Is. She?" Sasuke was clearly showing his irritation.
"Geez Sasuke, you need to learn how to say what you mean straight out. You can't beat around the bush all the ti-"
"HOW IS SAKURA?" Steam began to rise up from impatience.
"She's fine. Calm down."
/I've been so alone for so long
Forgotten by the world
Forgotten to myself
Your effervescent eyes have awakened me
And brushed the dust away/
Sasuke let the silence linger for a while longer before questioning Kakashi- sensei further.
"She doesn't... have a... a boyfriend or anything, does she?"
"Nope, not that I know of. Why are you interested? I could probably hook you up with a date or something..."
"My interests are none of your business." Sasuke replied, hardly able to contain his happiness after hearing Kakashi's words.
/So I memorized the color of your eyes as I lost myself inside you
And I memorized the way our legs entwined as I drifted off beside you/
Sasuke took leave of Kakashi, running as fast as he could towards Sakura's apartment.
-x-
He saw the look of surprise in her eyes at finding him at her door. "Sasuke?"
"Sakura." She looked down at her feet.
"Sasuke, I don't know why you're here, but I'm kind of glad you are. I just wanted to tell you that it's okay if you don't like me, because- "
Sasuke silenced her with his finger on her lips. He lifted her chin with his thumb and forefinger, forcing her to look deep into his eyes. It was impossible for her to miss the love that shined back at her. He captured her lips with his own, holding her body tightly against his.
/I miss
God I miss
Waking up beside you
I miss
God I miss
Waking up beside you/
Sakura's knees went weak and they tumbled backwards onto the floor in the doorway. She rolled over him and kicked the door closed. With tears streaming down her face she pounced on him, nuzzling his neck. Her warmth made him smile.
/I've been so alone for so long
I forgot how much it hurts
To wake up so alone
But I memorized how warm your body felt
as you lay half asleep beside me
And I memorized the way the sunlight
filled the room and played upon your body/
"I missed you." He whispered into her ear. She snuggled closer to him, soon to fall asleep on that perfect shoulder of his. She was right. That shoulder was made for her.
/I miss
God I miss
Waking up beside you
I miss
God I miss
Waking up beside you/
A/N: Is this a long chapter? Maybe not, but it actually is the longest one I've written so far. Go me. Bet you all know what book Kakashi gave Sasuke, eh? I'll try to get the next part up soon, so give me love in the review form, please? ^_^
A/N: Doing the two songs into one thing again... yes again. This is another Sasuke chapter. Yes, another one. Deal with it. Anyway, thanks to my reviewers. You all make me soooo happy.
