of you that read this story like it!
Morning came and Sakura found that she had fallen asleep at Konoha falls with her feet still in the water. She woke up and immediantly headed for the bridge to meet up with her team, she didn't know what time it was and if she was late or not. She arrived to find nobody there and decided to wait and stare at the water pass underneath her.
Uchiha mansion-
Sasuke woke up with Naruto curled up in his arms sound asleep. He stroked Naruto's head and let him sleep. At about 7 Sasuke woke Naruto up and they got dressed and headed down to the bridge. When they arrived Sakura was there staring at the water, she looked pale and limp from not sleeping well and she was still sad.
"Uuumm... Hi Sakura..." Sasuke said in a quiet voice while Naruto sat next to her. Sakura didn't move or say hi back, she just sat there staring at the water. Naruto gently placed his hand on Sakura's shoulder to try and comfort her.
' I feel so bad... Is the reason Sakura is like this because of us?' Naruto asked himself while trying to get Sasuke to sit next to her on the other side; maybe they could get her to talk. Sasuke went over to Sakura's other side and sat down next to her, he too tried to comfort her. Sakura winced when Sasuke patted her on the back and tried to get her to say something.
"Sakura are you O.K.?" Sasuke asked in his nicest and most caring voice.
With a tear fall from her face she answered quietly, "I'm fine..." More tears started to poor down her face as she continued to stare at the water. Naruto tried to hug her but she just pulled away from him. Sasuke watched sadly.
' I know I haven't ever really have feelings for Sakura but this is just so painful to see her like this... and it's all my fault...' Sasuke pulled her into his arms, she tried to pull away from him but she wasn't strong enough to get out of Sasuke's grip. He wrapped his arms around her tighter to pull her closer to him.
"I'm sorry Sakura." And with that Sakura stopped struggling to hear what Sasuke had to say.
"I never actually liked you like I know you have liked me, but I am so sorry for hurting you, I never meant to hurt you, I feel so bad for doing this to you." Sasuke whispered into her ear and then let her go. She looked at the river again, still crying.
' He really is happy with Naruto... Naruto has opened a whole other side of him, the old Sasuke would have never said that...' Sakura then knew that they were meant to be together, that he was happy with Naruto and Naruto happy with him. She just stared at the river while thinking of this and that she would have to accept Sasuke's apology. She stood up and looked at Naruto, his blue eyes were filled with tears, he felt so bad for hurting her...
"It's O.K. Naruto... Please don't cry, I'm fine, I really am." She wiped off his tears and looked at Sasuke and gave a small smile. At that point Kakashi showed up. He looked at the three and grabbed Naruto by the shoulder.
"Naruto is everything all right?" Kakashi was being very serious with this question.
"Yes sensei, everything should be fine." Naruto answered back as he started to walk back to Sasuke and Sakura. They trained the usual, switching off in sparring and Kakashi sat and read Icha-Icha Paradise. When the day was over they said their usual good-byes and went their separate ways.
-Sasuke's thoughts-
' I'm glad that Sakura should be O.K. The look she gave me was sad, but I knew she said that she would be all right. And I hope she understands our feelings....'
-Sakura's thoughts-
' Why? I know that they love eatchother but why? I know that Sasuke is sorry and I know that Naruto was hurt to see me so sad but.... Why? Why had he all the sudden started to care about me? Was that all thanks to Naruto? But even if it was thanks to Naruto... that was a whole other side of Sasuke that I didn't even think existed. And I still want to know how long have I been wasting my life dreaming about him?'
-Naruto's thoughts-
' I am glad Sakura said she would be O.K. I was so worried about her... I wish she wouldn't cry though... I wish that I could do something that would help her...' Naruto opened his door and got ready to go to bed. He didn't really sleep at first, all he could think about is how he could make Sakura happier...
' Would I have to stop seeing Sasuke to make her feel better? Is that what would stop her hurting...'
AN: I know, it is kind of short but I will make them longer, I PROMISE!!! And there is going to be a bit of a tragedy with Naruto and Sasuke coming up... that last line should tell you all a bit bout it... yeah... And yes, I know Sasuke is OOC but Naruto has opened a whole other side of Sasuke, that would be why he is OOC.
