Sakura was back at her house and she opened the scroll that Yamatari edited and it says...
"Sakura, make your right decision. I don't want you to choose the wrong path."
"No I won't, Yamatari-sama," she said beneath her breath, "certainly not. That is not an option for a Stealth Ram like me. I choose to go on with my mission."
She popped the scroll inside her drawer and stretched her arms.
Three days left... Should I tell them that I'll be leaving soon?
Somebody was knocking at her door. She ran downstairs and shook her head to drain out her thoughts. Her hair followed her every move and finally, she arrived at the door. She flung it open and her eyes widened with what she saw.
"Sa... Sa... Sasuke?!" she muttered. Sasuke had that serious look in his face and she had the curious look with a mix of confusion.
"Come in." she said, putting herself together. What the hell is HE doing HERE?!
Sasuke went inside her house and she closed the door gently. He sat at a couch and she sat on an armchair on the right side of it.
"So..." she spoke, "What brings you here?"
"I'm so sorry for Ino's actions yesterday I think she was jus-"
"I forgive her." Sakura said as she looked away, she was also stabbed with Ino's words; killer... assassin...
"Are you leaving soon?" Sasuke continued.
"In three days. It's a must for someone like me."
"So you aren't attending MY wedding? Is Ino your rival again?" Sasuke asked as he became angry with her. She felt horrible and just gave him a sharp look, pretending that she doesn't have feelings for him anymore.
"I'm a Stealth Ram. I cannot refuse to do my duty. And else, how'd Ino get into this convers-"
"It doesn't mean that you're a Stealth Ram, you can frantically ignore me! Ino is going to be my wife and she offered you to be her maid of honor! If you do love me, you can at least attend my wedding!"
Those words pulverized her shattered heart. She stopped her tears from falling. And she replied...
"Sasuke, please understand that I have a job now. And my job is very important! And I'm not ignoring you! And... And... And I'm really sorry if I can't attend your wedding!"
"Can't you ask your damn boss to give you a day off?!"
"I can't! I just can't..." and she fell into tears. She wiped her tears and sighed.
"In all these years, Sasuke, I thought that it was the two of us that will get married. When I was doing my job as a ninja... my job as a jounin... my job as a Stealth Ram... I thought of you. If you were getting enough sleep, if you're doing fine being the subordinate of Kakashi-sensei and Hokage-sama... Almost everything. When Yamatari-sama told me that I can have a vacation, the first thing that popped in my thoughts was you. I was so excited to see you again but... When I arrived here, you told me you're engaged. I thought you were going to say, you're engaged to me. But I can't believe you turned your back on me."
"You left for three years, Sakura! For heaven's sake, that's 3 years! How can I manage to stand alone?!"
Sakura was then furious.
"You broke your promise! Before I left, you told me that you'll wait for me, no matter how long it will be! If you suffered those 3 years without me, I suffered more than you did! Oh yeah, I forgot... You're not the type of man who waits. You're impatient."
"So what if I am?! After two years that you left, someone finally placed the sun back in my life, it was Ino. And she was way better than you, so I decided to marry her. So, I'm taking her side if the two of you'll fight again."
"I've heard enough. I'm not the woman for you. You made the right choice." Sakura said, calming herself. She wiped her tears and stood up,
"I respect your decision, Uchiha Sasuke. I respect your beliefs and I have no right and the will to fight against it. Our chat is done."
"Fine! Be that way!" Sasuke urged and stood up. Sakura opened the door and placed her hand near the door (just like what butlers do) and spoke, "You may leave my house." Sasuke left her house immediately and spoke no more. She closed the door and fell on her knees. Her hands formed fists on the floor and tears were falling on the floor, too. Her long, pink hair, covering her face and she cried endlessly.
Sasuke also felt horrible as he walked home. Suddenly, a cold, wet thing rolled down his cheeks. He stopped walking and touched his face, Am I... crying?...
"Sakura! Sakura! Sakura, open the door!!!" Hinata and Ten-Ten shouted as they pounded their hands on her door. No one was answering. Hinata and Ten-Ten looked at each other. Hinata nodded and Ten-Ten placed her hand on the doorknob. She turned it and flung the door open. They can hear sobs upstairs. Hinata closed the door and the two went running upstairs. They found Sakura crying and sobbing on her bed. Not only that, the room was in total disgrace. The vases were shattered, items on the floor, blanket crumpled near the bedroom door and books lying open, away from the bookshelf plus, pillow feathers scattered all over the place. Hinata and Ten-Ten approached their very depressed and sad friend. They both sat next to her.
"Sakura, stop crying." Hinata said, removing her pink hair from her wet face. Ten-Ten placed her hand on Sakura's back and patted her, "What happened?"
"Ten-Ten-chan, Hinata-chan... He abandoned me and I'm history forever!" Hinata and Ten-Ten looked at each other while poor Sakura was still weeping.
"Sakura, make your right decision. I don't want you to choose the wrong path."
"No I won't, Yamatari-sama," she said beneath her breath, "certainly not. That is not an option for a Stealth Ram like me. I choose to go on with my mission."
