You Complete Me.
A/N: Please report back to me with any and all typos. Thanks much. And a SUPER BIG thank you to "bloodstain5"! Your review rocked my socks so much. It seriously made me want to write the next chapter right away. So even though it's a Friday, and I just got home from school, and I have a lot of stuff to do, and I'm super tired, I just had to get this next chapter out! So, here it is:
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters in Naruto. I'm just borrowing them for my story. I also don't own the song "Angel", which belongs to Stabbing Westward.
Part 14. Angel. By bleedformeee
/I believed that love was sacred
As I dove blindly into her sea
You see, that warm embrace felt more like drowning
As endless waves crashed over me/
Sasuke awoke startled and blinked his eyes repeatedly, trying to regain his bearings. He tried to sit up, but he was weighted down, and he almost panicked when he felt a warm breath on his neck as Sakura peacefully exhaled, mumbling sleepy noises. He couldn't help but smile. He shifted her sleeping form so that he could carry her to her bedroom. She was much lighter than he expected. Careful not to wake her, he laid her down and pulled the covers up to her chin. As the moonlight shone in through the window blinds and danced on her face, she looked so peaceful, so angelic.
Sasuke turned toward the bathroom and noticed crumpled papers spilling out of the trashcan and littering the floor. He knelt down and picked one of the paper balls up. Carefully, he unwrapped the crumpled paper, unveiling a sketch of... himself? He opened another to find a drawing of him and Naruto glaring at each other. Another one held a picture of him throwing a kunai, and another a sketch of himself receiving a kiss from his favorite pink haired teammate. The pictures all had one thing in common. They all featured Sasuke. "Sakura," he sighed and headed towards the bathroom. He flipped on the light and closed the door. 'Did I do the right thing?' He wondered as he starred at his reflection in the mirror.
/She was an insatiable black hole
Feeding off my mind and off my soul
I find love humiliating
Sick and desperate need that drains me
God I hoped I'd never feel again/
He pondered his question for a moment before he realized what an idiot he was being. 'What am I thinking? How could this not be the right thing? I mean, sure, I was afraid at first. These feelings are all new to me, but..."
/But I've never been loved by an angel
I've never felt anything so pure
I've never been loved by an angel
She showed me love could lift me higher/
'...but she's perfect for me. She needs me... and I think I need her, too...'
"SASUKE!?" He jumped at the sound of her voice and rushed out of the bathroom. She had awoken to find Sasuke missing. She looked up at him, her eyes glazed with tears.
"Oh, Sasuke, it really is you! I thought it was a dream. Oh, I'm so glad you're here... Wait a minute... What if I'm still dreaming?" Sakura looked distressed. She grabbed the lamp from her nightstand and began banging it against her head. "Wake up, wake up, WAKE UP!" She screamed at herself.
Sasuke ran to her side and pried the lamp from her grip. She pulled her legs to her chest and rocked forward and backward, sobbing. Sasuke, almost believing the poor girl had finally gone insane, managed to loosen her grip yet again. He pulled her close to him and kissed her gently.
"Sakura. It's me. I'm here, for real. So don't worry. I won't leave you again. I promise." She looked into his loving eyes once again. She was so happy she could cry... but she already was... so instead she pressed her lips to his.
/With a kiss she repaired these broken wings
She revived my fading spirit
Restored my faith in everything/
Her hands slid down his chest and worked themselves underneath the hem of his shirt. She moved her hands across his chest and bent over to kiss his stomach.
"GROWL." Sakura jumped. Sasuke blushed. "I, uh, I guess I'm kind of hungry..."
Sakura laughed. "Then why didn't you say something silly? I'm hungry too. Let's see what we can find to eat." Sakura grabbed his hand and dragged him into the kitchen. Obviously Sakura had forgotten that she hadn't done much shopping in the food department lately.
/I have never felt I had a home
Even in a crowd I felt alone
I'd almost given up on life
And never thought I'd ever feel again I'm fully determined now/
"Okay, let's see. Our options are half a bag of frozen corn, a can of soup, salad dressing, a block of cheese, or 3 tomatoes. Anything call out to you? Whatcha think?"
"Uh, I think you must be undernourished."
Sakura shrugged off his comment and began preparing a tasty salad dish containing, you guessed it, corn, tomatoes and shredded cheese. "We better save the soup for later." Sakura said. Although Sasuke was repulsed, he choked down the food made by her hand, and shuddered at the fact that the tomatoes seemed to have started decomposing. He made a mental note that Sakura would not be trusted in the kitchen from then on.
When he had finished, and was sure he wasn't going to vomit, he looked up at Sakura's beaming face. "How was it?" She asked proudly.
"Uh, it was great. I liked it."
"Oh, good. Sasuke, you're the best."
/I believed in nothing
But you believe in me
I thought that life was worthless
But you told me I'm a star/
A/N: Thanks to my reviewers for making me smile and for making me want to continue! ^_^ Thanks again "sudden-death" I just got another review from you as I'm finishing up this chapter and it really did make me smile. Okay, so the food I chose to be in the kitchen was not random. My friend said she was hungry but only had those things... Then I worked it into my story. ^_^ She eventually went for the tomatoes, even though I was voting for the block of cheese. Anyway, on another note, I feel like I made Sakura too giddy in this chapter. Oh well. She's happy, damn it. Does Sasuke seem weird? I think maybe he says her name too much. It's starting to remind me of "Miaka!" "Tamahome!" "Miaka!" "Tamahome!" "Miaka!" "Tamahome!" LoL. Umm, yeah, if you don't know what I'm talking about just forget it. I need some sleep.
