These Are The Whispers
By: Ichigo Engine
"This girl…Sakura…she has something that I had been wanting for years." Sasuke looked up, still with that cold expression on his face, but under his hard mask, he was interested to know what she had that was so special to his brother. It was definitely not strength.
"This girl, Sakura, she has rare blood." Sasuke raised an eyebrow, rare blood? If he had been Itachi blood wouldn't be in his category of "rare." Itachi smirked, he understood that Sasuke didn't understand what he meant by she having rare blood.
"You see, Sakura has a blood type of IN, which stands for infinity or unlimited. If she gets burned for example, she will suffer minor injuries, and she has a longer life than an average person would have." Sasuke grinned a bit, he was interested, interested in her blood that is.
The lock to Sakura's cell clicked open. A tall figure stepped in, shadows covering parts of his pale face. Sakura groaned and looked up. Sasuke. She rubbed her eyes and stood up.
"What do you want?" Sasuke grabbed her wrist and took her out of the cell. "Hey! Where are you taking me?" Sakura asked, trying to make him let go of her.
"You're getting your blood sample tested, and that's all you need to know." Sakura was confused, why did they need a sample of her blood?
"For your information I'm perfectly fine and so is my blood thank-you-very-much."
"Just be quiet." They soon walked out of the big old building and headed towards the parking-lot. Sasuke reached into his pockets and pulled out a pair of car-keys as they stopped in front of a black jeep, he opened the doors and Sakura slowly got in. Sasuke turned on the engine and they were on their way.
After about twenty minute of drive they were finally there. Neither of them said a single word during the ride. Sasuke got out first, and then Sakura jumped out and closed the doors. Sasuke led the way into another building. It was slightly smaller this time, and from the outside it looked as if very little people had ever lived here. Sakura took a good look of her surroundings before entering the building. What clouded the area mostly were apartments about only four-five rooms high. Some windows were broken, and the environment was much polluted.
"Sakura." Sasuke said in his low voice, he guided her into the building and together they entered a small room. An old woman was seen in a rocking chair inside. "Noriko, this is the girl." The old woman, or now known as 'Noriko' nodded.
"A beauty I see, come sit down." Her voice was cranky and weak, which scared Sakura. Sakura took a seat beside the old woman. Noriko stood up and opened one of the broken cupboards; she took out a needle and a small test tube. "Roll up your sleeves girl; this will only take a minute." Sakura gulped, she didn't trust this woman very well, but she did as she was told anyways. Noriko opened the needle and quickly poked the needle into Sakura's skin, she nodded at Sakura and filled the test tube with the blood sample, and then she covered the top of the test tube with a rubber stopper and looked at Sasuke.
"Sasuke, I will give you the results of her blood after I finish examining it, you can take her back now." Sakura rolled down her sleeves and quickly left the room.
Sakura climbed into the jeep once they were both outside. Sasuke started the engine, ready to head back to the gloomy old building again. Sakura sighed and looked out the window, she felt…like some kind of prisoner.
"Sasuke…?"
"Hn?"
"Do you…enjoy killing the innocent people?" Sasuke kept on driving as if he didn't hear Sakura's question. "Do you know how much it hurts to have one of your loved ones killed in the most brutal ways possible? And you yourself have to observe their bodies and wonder what the hell happened." Sakura could feel hot tears beginning to stream down her face, she turned her head to Sasuke, and barely above a whisper she asked "Sasuke, do you kill because you want revenge? Because one of your loved ones was murdered?" The car skidded to a stop. "Answer me Sasuke…"
"Yes, I kill because I seek revenge. But you have to understand, that I do regret the people I kill." Sakura looked down at her feet. "You have to understand Sakura…I have to be an assassin whether I want to or not, because if I don't…Itachi will kill me. And that is why I'm trying my hardest to train and be as strong as him, so I can kill him so no more innocent people can be hurt!" He buried his head in his hands, sobbing softly.
"Sasuke…" Sakura patted him gently on the shoulders. Sasuke lifted his head from his hands; he turned around and looked at Sakura.
"Sakura…tomorrow Itachi is leaving the village for a short mission, and he's leaving me in charge. I want you to escape." Sakura's eyes widened, she had only known this Sasuke for such a short period of time, and a short speech like that could save herself. But Sakura was willing to do almost anything to get out of that stinky old basement.
"Sasuke, please let Hinata and the others escape as well, they don't deserve to be locked up!" Sasuke nodded; maybe…starting tomorrow he could live a new life without hurting innocent people.
This chapter was: boring, lame, stupid, etc. I almost fell asleep writing it. Anyway, I'm rushing this chapter a lot because I want to get to the real point, moments without SasuSaku is no fun. :3
