Deep In His Cold Heart

Chapter seven: Worry And Sadness

It was dark at the village of Konoha. At the village's streets and roads, there's a house which was lived by only one person, the survivor of the Uchiha clan named Sasuke. Outside Sasuke's house, Orochimaru and Kabuto were surprised that their plan failed. Sasuke escaped them, by making bushins to distract the two and by saving Sakura, who was badly tortured by Kabuto.

"Oh my venoms! Sasuke escaped us and saved his sweetheart!" Orochimaru said with anger. Kabuto frowned. "I hope he wont avenge Sakura. He'll be able to kill us." Kabuto said. After a few seconds of silence, they left the territory and went back to the sound village.

At another side of the village, at the Konoha Hospital, Sasuke was able to sent Sakura there. He called the doctor to look at Sakura if she's alright. "Sasuke, you need to wait here for a while. We'll bandage her wounds and transfer her to the bed." The doctor said. Sasuke looked sadly at Sakura, worried. "Alright, sir." Sasuke said in a quiet voice. Sasuke waited outside as the nurses treated some of her wounds and bandaged the deeper wounds. The doctor checked if she's alright. Sasuke sat on the waiting room. He became more worried about her than last year. 'Why did this happen to her? Why are they doing this to me?' Sasuke thought.

After a few minutes of waiting, the doctor came out with the nurses. Sasuke stood up.

"Is Sakura going to be alright?" Sasuke asked.

"Don't worry, she'll be fine. You can watch over her now, but she's still unconscious." The Doctor said.

"Okay." Sasuke replied.

The medical team left and Sasuke was left alone again. He entered the room and sat near Sakura's bed. He looked at her carefully, with a worried face. "

Sakura, please… don't die." Sasuke whispered.

Sasuke moved the chair nearer to the bed. He remembered when Sakura watched over his unconscious body, a year ago after Itachi tortured him with his Mangekyou Sharingan. He smiled as he remembered that event. 'Now I'm the one who's watching over her unconscious self.' Sasuke thought.

Sasuke paused for a while and thought about what happened a few hours ago.

'So Kabuto's the subordinate of Orochimaru. Will I avenge Sakura by killing them?' Sasuke thought. 'I hid my feelings in that time. I'm really angry at those two! But I can't be too violent in that time. Kabuto could even kill Sakura.'

While Sasuke was thinking about Kabuto and Orochimaru, Sakura finally regained her consciousness. Her eyes were finally opening, she saw Sasuke watching over her.

"Sasuke-kun? What are you doing here? Where am I?" She spoke.

Sasuke grew surprised. Sakura is finally conscious. "You're safe now. We're now in the hospital. Your wounds were treated already. I thought you're going to be unconscious for a long time so I became worried about you." Sasuke said.

Sakura looked at him. His really smiling at her this time, but last year, he's just smirking. 'He's really changing… Is he in love?' Sakura thought. She noticed the place and the bandages to her wounds, which are done by Kabuto hours ago.

"So, are you alright now?" Sasuke asked.

"I'm… fine now. But I need more rest. Don't worry, Sasuke-kun. I'll be fine." Sakura said.

"Okay, I know that I'm acting really strange today. I just don't want to see you hurt because… you're really important to me." Sasuke said.

Sakura cheered up a bit. She knew he would intend to kill Kabuto and Orochimaru so that he'll avenge her.

"Sasuke-kun, Don't… avenge me. Don't kill Kabuto and Orochimaru for avenging me. You could be killed. I don't want to see you suffer too!" Sakura said.

Sasuke grew surprised. She really knew a lot about him. She knew that he was too vengeful and cold sometimes.

"But… they did something bad to you and me!" Sasuke tried to refuse.

"Sasuke-kun, revenge is also a bad thing. Why are you so angry to them for my sake?" Sakura told him.

Sasuke looked at her sadly. She really doesn't want to see him die in front of her eyes.

"Okay, I won't avenge you… I just want to be stronger." Sasuke said.

"You are already strong. That's why I loved you, Sasuke-kun." Sakura said.

Sasuke saw some tears flowing from Sakura's green eyes.

"Sakura, don't cry. I'm sorry for being too cold." Sasuke said.

Sakura smiled and gave Sasuke a light embrace.

"I'm not crying because of sadness. I'm crying because of joy. You are already caring too me. You're not anymore cold-hearted. I think it's because of a strong feeling of love." Sakura said.

Sasuke was really surprised that he changed for the good. He was so cold and harsh last year, but now… he really changed.

"So, tell me… Are you in love, Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked as she held Sasuke's hand.

Sasuke grew silent. He's not sure to tell her the truth, but he really needs to.

Will Sasuke confess his feelings to Sakura? How will Sakura feel?

END OF CHAPTER 7

So, how was it? I'm sorry that I'm not giving some details and I made this chapter too short. I'll try to improve in the next chapters. Just tell me if I improved even a bit. Okay, about Chapter 2… Sasuke slept at his bed, not in the doorstep. That's too funny!

At the next chapter, you'll know what will Sasuke do: Confess his feelings? Or hide his feelings again?
