Chapter 3
"What are you doing here?" a cold unwelcoming came.
Sakura looked up to see a pair of silver eyes glaring down at her. It's Hyuga; Neji Hyuga. Sakura was trembling; she isn't use to staring at him in the eye. Those eyes; looked like if they could see into her soul, seeing her pain, her sadness; seeing her loneliness. Yet, how can they look so cold and soulless.
"I-I was. I am sorry" Sakura uttered.
"I didn't ask you to apologize, Haruno." He said in his cold monotone voice.
"I'm. I didn't mean to bother you; I'll leave now. I am so sorry."
The silver eyed boy watched the girl with pink hair scrabble up from the cherry tree. She straggles slowly away from him with her head bowed down. Neji could remember this girl; she was Naruto's teammate, one of the weakest ninja, he have known, now he could see that she have became weaker that before; she seem to have no will to live anymore; Pathetic.
Neji sat down to on the grass to continue his meditation. From the corner of his eyes; he spotted something white, near the cherry tree were Haruno was sitting beside. Out of curiosity, he stood up and walked over to the tree. He picked up a small bottle of white pills and looked the description.
"That stupid girl; she is an idiot."
Sakura walked away from the silver eyed boy, her heart was still pounding in fear. She felt stupid; so weak; she didn't even have to the courage to talk to someone that is stronger than her. Every time her team goes on a mission she will be always the one who stands back and watches her team fight. She will always end up on tending theirs wounds or absolutely nothing at all. Sakura feels so worthless, so useless; she was always known as the weakest ninja in her age group, the one who needs a hand in everything. Now, when she finally accomplished something worthwhile in her life, she has to lose everything.
A jolt of pain shot through Sakura's heart, Sakura winced at the pain and fell to her knees; panting. At each thump of her heart, the aching worsens; Sakura searched frantically for her medicine, but it wasn't in her pouch. The piercing pain now made her unable to breathe; one hand on the ground to trying to keep her balance, one hand clutching her heart; she tried her best to sustain it. But the pain was too unbearable; she fell on to the ground as the snowflakes began fall silently while the sun slowly sets, behind the mountains. So this is the end.and everything went black.
Two hours had past and Sakura had not returned. Sasuke had been sitting by her house waiting for her; when he returned from his mission, he did not even bother to go home first. But he went straight to her house, yet she is not home. Ino told him she had a doctor's appointment in the morning. But the sun is already setting and she has not returned yet. Snow began to fall; a snowflake fell on to his open palm and melted. Sasuke felt his heart sinking, he felt strange; he didn't feel right, something in his mind is telling him that Sakura's life is hanging on the thread.
"Sasuke-san.?"
A small voice startled Sasuke from him and his thoughts; he turned his head to see a pale, nervous silver eyed girl.
"What?"
"You- I mean if you are."
"Spill it, Hyuga." Sasuke said, obviously annoyed with her shuttering.
"If you are looking Sakura-san. I saw her walking in the forest." Replied Hinata; in a weaker voice.
"What is she doing there?" Sasuke said with a bit of concerned in his voice.
"I- I don't know. I tried to call after her, but she couldn't hear me; she seems to be in deep thought."
"But, you sure she walked in the forest; right?"
Hinata gave him small nod.
"Thanks." He said as he runs off towards the forest; leaving the Hyuga girl surprised at his words of gratitude. Sakura-san; there is still people in this world still who loves you, please be okay.
His black hair blew in the wind as Neji looked up at the sky; the snow was thickening, he better leave before if it worsens. He stuffed the small bottle of white pills in his pocket and starts his journey home. The snow was falling fast, his surrounding was covered with thick sheet of snow; but something pink caught Neji's eye. He walked over to it and just as he suspect; there lying on the ground, half covered in snow was Sakura Haruno.
Neji bended down to look at the unconscious girl; she was still breathing, yet her pale delicate features showed pain. Neji looked up at the sky again; the snow is now pouring down and it is becoming hard to see through the snow; he'll be probably half frozen by the time he gets back to the village. If Neji leave this girl behind, she will probably die and Hokage- sama will surely blame it on him.
Using his Byakugan, he is able it find a cave to stay in for the time being; so without hesitations, Neji scooped the pink haired girl in his arms and traveled towards the cave. As Neji walked, he notices something about this girl's scent; the smell of soft breeze of cherry blossoms. It seems so familiar to him, something that was very close to him, yet he can not remember. When, they have reached the cave, Neji was exhausted and was completely covered in snow. He set the girl down and started a fire; he watched the flame danced as he asked himself a question that he can not answer. "Why does Haruno's scent seem familiar to me?"
Sasuke continue on his search; the snow was so thick, he couldn't even see what was in front of him. The wind stings his face as walked, he felt numb and his body ached as he moved. But he couldn't give up, not until he finds Sakura. She was the one who acknowledge him for who he is; not how he looks, she was the one who never gave up hope on him, she was one who is there for him when he still pushes her away. And she was the one he loves. He will find Sakura even if it takes his life. "Sakura where are you?"
As if Sakura had heard Sasuke's words, she began to stir. She half expected herself to be dead. Instead she found herself waking up in a cave in the middle of a blizzard and worst of all she is stuck in Neji Hyuga. Sakura studied Neji's face; he seem to be worn out and pale white skin is paler than before, his back hair was kind of messy, yet his facial expression was always so solemn, but that didn't really bother her that much, she was use of that from Sasuke-kun. But what scare her, the most was his eyes; Sakura could remember looking into them before in the forest, they looked the same as before, yet they are still so mysterious. Then those eyes turn to meet her emerald ones, they glared at her. She shut her eyes and turned away.
"What do you want?"
Sakura turned her head back to look at him again, this time closer to the fire, she can see he was sweating, and was breathing very hard; he looked like he is have a fever. "Neji! You're sick!" she said as she rush over to him; her fears of him forgotten.
"I'm fine." He hissed back at her.
"No, you're not! Let me help you." Sakura said as she advances towards him.
"I don't need your help, especially from you, Haruno." He said as he tries to stand up. But he fails and was about to topple over. Sakura when to his side and held on to his arm to prevent him from falling.
"I told you! I don't need your help!" he said in a cold yet tired voice as he pushes her away.
"I just want to help you, Neji; what's wrong with that?" Sakura asked.
"I have my own destiny; the only imperative is to follow it, to accept it, no matter where it leads me. And I don't need you to help me, on the way." he replied in the same manner
"But, destiny is not what is already made; destiny is what we are making. Many people think that we are in the hands of destiny, driven in whatever direction life desires or wills, but really, we are the one who is the masters of our destiny. Someone once told me that." Sakura reasoned.
Neji had no more what more words to say, the girl was right and he was wrong. He was too stupid to realize it before, but after Sakura's words; he finally understand it more. How can this stupid girl know so much about destiny, yet he knows so little? Did he underestimate this girl? He suddenly felt weak and if Sakura wasn't there to hold on to his arm, he'll drop to the ground. She sat Neji down, leaning against the wall; if he wasn't this weak he would have pushed her away, but he now, he couldn't even stand properly. Right now, Neji felt pathetic himself; he, a Hyuga needs the help of this weak girl. But what can he do? Because the truth is he do need her help. The girl started to pace around muttering to herself something about fevers; before sleepiness took over him, he could still remember the words of the girl.
Maybe she isn't that bad after all.
******** I am so sorry, to disappoint you, kreuz4eva. I wanted Neji to be in the story too. I am sorry, that some of * the characters are out of character*. And I also apologized to all the Sasuke and Sakura fans, that I did not add much of that in this chapter. But don't worry because I'm planning to add more Sasuke and Sakura in the later chapters okay? Once again I apologize to you all. Oh yes! Please read and review. Thank You
