Deep in His Cold Heart

Chapter five: Sasuke Is In Love?

The Sun was at the top of the sky. It was 12:00 noon at the village of Konoha, people are having their lunches.

There was a raven-haired boy walking through the village as he was going home for lunch. His name is Uchiha Sasuke. He was a genin from Konoha and He was the sole survivor from the Uchiha Clan. While He was walking, He was thinking about his precious friend, Sakura. 'Why…'He thought. 'Why did I told her that…' He continued thinking. 'That… I'll be there for her.' He continues to think. 'Am I in love with Sakura? Maybe… Yes.' Sasuke thought for the last time, remembering what happened a few moments ago.

FLASHBACK (A few moments ago, previously on Chapter 4)

Sasuke smiled at Sakura and waved my hand. "So, Goodbye, Sakura… Don't forget what I told you!" He said.

"That If you're in trouble, just call me! I'll be there for you." Sasuke said.

Sakura blushed. 'She's more beautiful than I thought. She's better nowadays.' Sasuke thought.

"Okay, see you next time! I won't forget what you said!" Sakura said as he fades away to her eyesight.

END OF FLASHBACK

While Sasuke is walking, there's a loud, blonde boy who runs near Sasuke.

It was Naruto, his teammate and friend, years ago they were rivals.

"Sasuke!" Naruto yelled as loud as he can.

"Naruto, you moron… what are you doing here?" Sasuke asked as Naruto came near him. He saw a girl peeping in the alley. It was a shy, dark girl who admired Naruto, Hyuuga hinata.

"I'm here to tell you that…"Naruto replied with a cut in his sentence. Sasuke pointed at the alley. "Naruto, do you know who's the girl peeping at you there?" Sasuke asked again. Naruto looked at the alley, Hinata hid in the alley.

"Oh, that's Hinata-chan, the girl who admired me since the academy days." Naruto replied. Then they continued their conversation.

"Like what I said a while ago, I'm here to tell you that my love with Sakura is finally over." Naruto told him.

"So, who's the person you like now? Don't tell me it's a boy." Sasuke asked.

"No, it's a girl. She was Hyuuga Hinata-chan!" Naruto said. "She even treated me in the ramen shop. I always thought she was a weirdo, but I was wrong… She was a nice girl after all."

'It was like me and Sakura. My thoughts about her years ago were wrong.' Sasuke thought.

"So, how about you, are you in LOVE with somebody?" Naruto said.

'Oh no, I can't tell him. I can't tell him that I love Sakura. It's okay. He likes Hinata now anyway.' Sasuke thought.

"Tell me!" Naruto pleaded.

"Sorry, I can't really tell. It's a huge secret, moron." Sasuke said.

"Tell me, please! I won't tell anybody!" Naruto continued pleading.

"Okay, just don't tell anybody especially Sakura and her friends or else I'll punch your face!" Sasuke said.

"So who is it? I hope is not a boy or else I'll vomit." Naruto said.

"Okay, I love…" Sasuke breathed hard. "I am in love with Sakura, I guess…" Sasuke said in a quiet voice.

Naruto laughed. "HAHAHAHA! SASUKE'S IN LOVE WITH SAKURA!" Naruto shouted, teasing Sasuke.

"Hey, I said I'll punch you if you tell anybody especially Sakura and her friends!" Sasuke said quietly. "SO DON'T SHOUT THAT LOUD!" Sasuke said in a loud voice. Sasuke looked at the surroundings. Sakura's house is not there. 'Good thing Sakura's house is not here.' Sasuke thought.

Naruto continued laughing as he goes away in that place. "SASUKE'S IN LOVE WITH SAKURA! SASUKE'S IN LOVE WITH SAKURA! SASUKE IS IN LOVE WITH SAKURA!" Naruto continued teasing Sasuke.

Sasuke is getting pissed off. "Total moron…" Sasuke whispered. Then he continued walking back to his home. 'Yes, I am in love with Sakura. Not only because of her looks but also she is a loving and a caring person. But I don't know when I'll confess her my love.' Sasuke thought. Then he saw a pink-haired girl walking near him. "Sasuke-kun." She called his name. Sasuke looked at her. It was Sakura, the person whom he loved. "Sakura, what are you doing here?" Sasuke asked. "Sasuke-kun, can I ask something about you?" Sakura said. "Of course, Sakura. You can ask me something." Sasuke replied.

"I want to ask you that… why are you acting so different since days ago? Why are you nice to me now? You always hate me last year." Sakura asked. Sasuke was blushing. 'I can't tell her that I love her. She could be surprised that I'm being crazy!' Sasuke thought.

"Okay, I'm just… treating you as a friend. I want to be fair to all my teammates. And lastly, it's because you are precious to me." Sasuke replied shyly. Sakura blushed. "Oh, I thought you are in love with me. But I love you, Sasuke-kun." Sakura said. Oh, Darn it! I thought he likes me! Hell no! He's just treating me as a friend! Inner Sakura reacted again.

Sakura waved her hand goodbye to Sasuke. "Goodbye, Sasuke-kun. See you later! Or Tomorrow!" Sakura said. Sasuke smiled at her. "Okay, Sakura. See you later too!" Sasuke said.

Then Sasuke saw his house, which was huge but only one lives, himself. His whole clan was dead except for him and the killer, his brother Itachi. 'I was alone now here in my house. I hope Sakura didn't hear my secret that I told Naruto.' Sasuke thought and went inside his house. "Sakura loves me and I love her. Now it's not unrequited love. Why am I acting like this? Is love stronger than hatred?" Sasuke asked himself.

Then there's two guys looking at Sasuke. They were hiding at the bushes of the house and the taller one was laughing. "Why are you laughing, Orochimaru-sama?" The shorter one, a sound nin previously spied Sasuke and his teammates in the Chuunin exam named Kabuto asked him. The taller one was Orochimaru, a sannin who killed the third hokage a year ago, who's also his sensei but his hands were sealed by the third hokage. He wants to have Sasuke's body to rule Konoha so he puts a curse behind his neck to kill him first. He stopped laughing. "So, my handsome cursed victim is in love. I never thought he would fall in love with a bobblehead freak like Haruno Sakura." Orochimaru said. Kabuto was now the one who's laughing. "I have a plan, Kabuto." Orochimaru said. "What is it?" Kabuto asked.

"I planned to kidnap Sakura and have her killed in front of Sasuke. That would make him distracted and fight me!" Orochimaru said. "But please help me, my arms doesn't work any more." Orochimaru continued. "Okay, Orochimaru-sama." Kabuto said.

"We'll do that tomorrow, at sunset!" Orochimaru said, laughing again. Kabuto just smiled silently.
