Breaking The Ice

Chapter Three:

Luckily it was around midnight and there weren't many patients in Konoha Hospital because Sasuke would have scared them to death with his screams. "KEEP AWAY FROM ME!!!!" Sasuke screamed at the top of his lungs as Sakura embraced him, hoping to calm him down, not caring if he would push her away.

Meanwhile, Kakashi and Naruto were in the waiting room, hoping that Sasuke would be alright. Naruto was busy pacing around the room while Kakashi appeared to be calm while reading his favorite Hentai novel, Make-Out Paradise. "Seriously, Sensei, how could you be reading at a time like this? Sasuke has been unconscious for five days and you look as though you don't care." Naruto explained. "Naruto, there is nothing to worry about. You are forgetting that he is a Uchiha, for all we know, he could probably awake today or tomorrow." Kakashi smiled and went back to reading his book. "KEEP AWAY FROM ME!!!!!" They heard someone scream and immediately thought it sounded like Sasuke so both Naruto and Kakashi ran up the stairs to Sasuke's room.

When they got there, Naruto burst through the door and saw Sasuke being held by Sakura, who was trying to calm him down. "Shhhhh, it's okay. It was just a bad dream." She said rubbing his back. Sasuke was trembling so much that even kakashi was surprised at Sasuke's action. "I think we should leave and let Sasuke calm down. I am sure he doesn't want us to see him this way." Kakashi explained as he dragged Naruto by his collar. "Hey, I'm not 12 years old anymore!" He yelled. "I am already married to Hinata, while you are still a single old man who reads Hentai books and--" Kakashi cut him off. "Yeah, yeah, let's just go dunce." Kakashi closed the door behind him.

Sakura was still holding on to Sasuke who had managed to calm down a bit. She let go of him and asked, "do you want to tell me what scared you so much? You haven't trembled that much since your fight with Gaara." Sasuke just sat on the bed, not answering Sakura. "Oh, come on Sasuke. I have known you for six years now, so I know when something is bothering you." "Alright, Sakura." He stated. "Ever since my brother killed my clan, I have been having nightmares since that day, every night. I would always wake up screaming, seeing everyone die or the aftermath of the killings." He explained. "My brother said that the only way to get rid of these nightmares is to fall in love with someone. But how can I fall in love with someone when all I feel is hate?" "Oh, God, Sasuke. Why didn't you tell me before that you suffered from these nightmares?" Sakura asked.

"I thought that no one would care and would think of me as a weakling" He simply stated. "All I have for to live is to resurrect my clan and find a suitable wife who can produce me an heir. However, only one person who actually understands me is you, Sakura." He explained. "What I am trying to say is, will you marry me Sakura and fulfill my dream?" Sakura only stood there in shock.

"I will Sasuke, but on one condition." Sakura stated. "Alright, what is the condition?" "That I will first try to get through to you and teach you how to love someone and that we don't get married right away, that we take it slow and steady." Sakura explained. "Is that alright you, Sasuke?"
