Chapter ii – Sakura's Devotion

It All Lies On A Cup Of Tea

A Girl's Belief

Couldn't Go On Like This Forever

AN: Well, the first chappie seems okay. But I still doubt if I should've really placed the 4th part of it. hehe.. Uhh.. Thanks for the reviews! It helped me a lot. Hope you'll like this one. Like the first chappie, I also placed four parts in it! Please review. I just really wanna know what u guys think of this! And if you have stories that you want me to read, then please tell me ochie?

Aarghh… You know I watched the animation of Ceres… And it sucked! Cause a lot of scenes from the original manga was actually deleted! I hated it! They didn't even show Shuro and Kei! Actually, they did show Shuro like 3 seconds before the ending of episode 20 something. Then they didn't continue it in the next episode! They also didn't show Aya and Toya's first date! And then when Aya cut her hair in the manga, it was totally different in the animation! But the ending is so sad… I even cried. Why did Aki have to die! Stupid fate! Stupid C-Project! Stupid Legend! And Toya will only live for about a year or two without the manna! Everyone who loves Aya leaves her!

Recap: Shun was brought to the human world in the body of Sasuke, his alter ego. There, he met Sakura and the other people who are part of Sasuke's life. All was going well between the former best friends. Until one afternoon, Sasuke and Naruto were having a fight. To prove that he's better, Sasuke kissed Sakura which turned out that Sakura didn't like... the least bit of it.

--------------------Sakura's Devotion --------------------

Sakura ran as fast as she could while she continued to cry. "I can't believe what Sasuke did! He's such an idiot! I hate him!..." A lot of people looked at her direction, wondering who could make such a beautiful girl so lonely..

Anyway, she accidentally tripped and fell on the ground. Hard. She cried even harder. It's not the physical pain that made her cry. But the thought of her first kiss being stolen by a twerp. "Kakashi-sensei..."

A girl with auburn hair walked closer to her.

"Hey. C'mon. I'll help you get up." she held her hand to Sakura but she just ignored her offer.

"It's getting dark. It will start to rain soon. You don't want your beautiful, silky hair to get all soaked up do yah?" Sakura gave her a mean glare. The girl's eyes trembled. Her eyes were beautiful. It's fiery red and very passionate. But it's shaking. She was afraid of Sakura.

"I don't need your help... Now scram before I get pissed off!" Sakura exclaimed while she turned to look at the vast space next to her.

The girl helplessly left. How could someone act like that?

Then, like the girl predicted, the sky became dark. And it started to rain. Sakura didn't mind it. She looked up and closed her eyes, hoping that the pain she's feeling would go away. She did close her eyes. But the more she imagine how Sasuke did that to her. The warmth of his lips pressed on deeply on hers. She don't even want to remember that. It's horrible. She just wants it to fade away. And just wake up like nothing ever happened... But to her dismay, it ain't gonna fade. It happened. You can't change the past.

Meanwhile, Sasuke went back to their classroom. Almost all of them are there already. They were seated and usually, having a chat with their seatmates. He went to his seat and threw his lunch, he didn't finished all of it since he was so sad of Sakura's reaction.

"Hey Sasuke! Where's Sakura?" his seatmate, a boy with a little kawaii dog asked.

'hmm... What's his name again? K-Kidah? Uhh.. Never mind.' he thought. "Err... I don't know. She left while we were having lunch. I don't know where she went. Maybe she was feeling sick so she went home." he turned to the other way. He doesn't want him or anybody to know.

Ten Ten, who's the girl at Sasuke's front butted in. "That's weird.. The next class is Kakashi-sensei's... Even though Sakura feels really sick, she doesn't miss his class. Never. I mean I remembered one time, that she has this awfully high fever, but she still attended Kakashi-sensei's class. hehe.. And after that, she collapsed and was rushed to the clinic! Well.. who could blame her? Can you do push-ups and gymnastics while having a temperature of 39? and there's also this one time at camp..."

'So Sakura's really serious about this guy. What I did must've felt really bad for her.' Sasuke looked outside. 'The rain's really strong. I wonder where she is? I hope nothing bad happened to her. I'm really sorry... Sakura...'

"Hey! Sasuke are you even listening to me!" Ten Ten shouted trying to pull him out of his delusion. She waved her hand across his face.

"Y-yeah! I uhh.. Maybe she's really really sick or there's an emergency at home.." Sasuke said while stammering a bit. He don't know what else to say. He's running out of alibis.

Kiba looked confused. "What? I thought you guys live at the same house!"

"Yeah we are! errr..."

Kiba scoffed. "Seems like you guys had a really big fight neh Sasuke-kun?"

'Kidah's right... Wait... What's his name again?'

Ten Ten hit him. "Cut it out Kiba!"

'Oh.. It's Kiba...'

"What's your problem lame-oh!" Kiba teased.

"baka(idiot).. Why don't we just ask Sakura-chan tomorrow? Stop making accusations!" Ten Ten replied with a glare.

'No... If they ask Sakura tomorrow... Sakura might tell them that I kissed her cause she seems to be so angry at me... No... Everybody will despise me... And Sakura might tell them that I'm not really Sasuke... And everyone will think I'm crazy... This can't be happening...' Sasuke began to imagine things.

JUST IMAGINATIONS

"Sasuke! I didn't know you're such a pathetic pervert!" Ten Ten shouted. "You're such a loser! Stealing a girl's first kiss just like that! Heh! Pathetic."

"Yeah.. Even I can't do that to Hinata. I just watch her from afar. But you! How could you! You're Sakura's best friend!" Kiba exclaimed.

"Sasuke-gozu... hahaha! You're just a tiny fugly slut." Naruto said.

"Hahahahahaha!"

END OF HIS IMAGINATIONS

"NNNNNOOOOOOOO!" Sasuke shouted.

"Eeeww Sasuke... That's so gay." Kiba remarked.

"Kiba..." Ten Ten scolded.

"I'm just kidding!... But seriously, it sounded so gay."

"U-Urusai (Shut Up!)!" Ten Ten exclaimed.

"Oh? Why are you defending Sasuke-kun! Does it mean you like him?" Kiba continued to tease her.

"Urusai! Urusai! Urusai! U-R-U-S-A-I!"

--------------------It All Lies On A Cup Of Tea--------------------

By the time they were dismissed, Sasuke went home immediately. He seemed to be so concerned and worried about Sakura. He walked faster than his usual walking phase. He thought non-stop about Sakura. Not because he fell in-love with her. It's just he really values her friends. That's all. Or is it?

'What if something happened to her? What if she's not home yet? What if—Nonsense! What am I thinking! I should think positive!'

The moment he reached home, he found no one. It's so quiet. As if he's in a deserted place. 'Where are they?' he wondered. Then she heard someone close a door. A girl's shadow appeared. "Sakura? Is that you?" Wrong. It was Anko.

"Oh? Sasuke-kun? Back so early I see?" she asked.

"Yeah.. I'm really worried about Sakura. Uh.. Is she home?" Sasuke replied and asked at the same time.

Anko sat on the couch. She grabbed some of the tea that she made and took a sip. "Sit here and have some tea. The weather is cold. It'll be good for you to drink some of this. This one's your favorite." Anko said not answering his question.

Sasuke sat on the couch with Anko. "Thanks but I don't drink tea."

"Oh? Well.. Sasuke loves the tea that I made Shun. Try it."

Sasuke nodded and held the cup of tea on his hand. He stared at it. Then he sipped some of it carefully.

"I-It's bitter… How am I supposed to drink this?" Sasuke complained.

"It's okay. You'll soon learn how to drink it. And soon enough you're gonna be able to say… I love your tea Anko!" then she chuckled.

"I don't understand. Why do you guys like this? I mean, it doesn't taste good…"

Anko chuckled again. "Good question."

"Huh?" Sasuke retorted, confused.

"Sasuke-kun, you can't just expect everything to turn out fine and dandy in life. That's not how it is! This cup of tea, the first time you drink it, you'll say it doesn't taste good. But if you drink it often, you'll learn how to handle the bitterness soon enough! And you'll gain the profit because tea is really good for your body. It's just like life! The problems that you encounter, sometimes it may seem so difficult that you feel like you just can't handle it. But if you just believe in yourself, I'm sure you'll solve it. And then the experience that you gained, you can also use it in your problems that will soon come! Do you get it?"

Sasuke shook his head. "Not much… In magic world, we don't need belief and confidence to pass the obstacles that come in our way. We just need to use the strength that we learned and use them."

"Then use them!" Anko exclaimed.

"But how? I can't use my magic!"

"I didn't say to use your magic Sasuke. Use your strength, the strength that you've learned from all of these years that you lived. Don't give up.. Everything will be fine."

Sasuke stared at his tea. "I still don't understand."

Anko smiled. "Soon you will."

The two of them became silent for quite a while. Sasuke just stared at his tea. Then he gasped. "Anko! I know! I know what to do so I would learn how to drink this tea you made!"

"Yeah? Show me.." Anko crossed her arms.

Sasuke grabbed his cup and guzzled the tea and soon he was able to drink it all. "See? All I have to do is guzzle it up and bear the bitterness." Sasuke grinned.

Anko smiled. "Well then. I guess you learn pretty fast….. Uhh… About Sakura.."

-------------------A Girl's Belief---------------------

Sasuke quieted down. "W-Where's Sakura? Is she home yet!"

"Shh... Quiet down. You're gonna wake her up."

"Oh. So she's home. What's wrong? Is she sick?" Sasuke asked.

Anko groaned a bit. "Yeah… She came home dripping wet..."

FLASHBACK

Sakura opened the door. Her hair and face and body, dripping wet with rain.

Anko ran to her. "S-Sakura? What happened! Why are you so wet? Where is Sasuke? Wha—" She was cut by Sakura's cry. She was crying so hard.

"Sakura? What's the problem? Come on. Sit down. I'm gonna get you a towel." She said while she steer Sakura to the couch. "Wait here." After a little while, she came back and handed Sakura a towel to dry her up.

"Now… Spit."

Sakura cried harder. "I-I can't believe it! Shun… I trusted him! I thought he was my friend! But he ruined the thing I've been wanting since I was a kid! I wish… I wish… I wish he hasn't gone here. I wish he could just go back to that magic world!... He doesn't belong here anyway. I wish the real Sasuke's back."

Anko comforted her. "Whatever it is, I'm sure Sasuke just did it for you. I know he just came here, but I can see that he's actually a good person! He doesn't mean you any harm at all!"

"But… He kissed me! I- I…"

Anko smiled. "Don't worry… Sometimes in life, you just don't know the things that you really like."

"What do you mean?" Sakura sniffed.

"Well… For a girl, love is the most important thing. We'd do anything for it! But do you know that this guy is that true love?"

Sakura stood up. "Of course I do! Kakashi-sensei is the most important person in my life! I'd do anything just for him! I loved him so much since I was 10. I dreamed of him as my first kiss… And I can't believe that just a pathetic powerless wizard like Shun would ruin that dream of mine."

"C'mon now Sakura. Sasuke just did it for you."

"He's not Sasuke. He's Shun. And why are you siding with him! You don't even know him that much! How the hell are you so sure?" Sakura exclaimed.

"You wouldn't understand. Why don't you just forgive him?"

"No…" Sakura replied.

"Just take a rest… And think it over."

Sakura smiled. "I guess you're right. Oh… And Anko?"

"Hmmm?" Anko turned to Sakura.

"Please watch over me." Then she collapsed to her lap.

"S-Sakura?" Anko touched her forehead. "She's burning hot! Well… Who would not have a fever? I believe she soaked herself under the rain for hours!"

END OF FLASHBACK

"So… Just be patient Sasuke-kun. Things will be back the way it is…" Anko advised.

Sasuke smiled. "Thanks Anko."

"THUD!" A loud sound boomed.

"CLANG! BAM!"

"It seems like it's coming from Sakura's room." Sasuke said.

Anko stood up. "Sasuke, stay there. I'm gonna check on Sakura. She may not want to see you… Neh?"

Sasuke nodded.

Anko ran to Sakura's room and opened the door. "Sakura!" She was destroying the things in her room. "S-Sakura stop it!" But she continued on trashing them.

Sasuke can't bear the noises he's hearing… He rushed to Sakura's room. "Sakura…" he said softly. But she doesn't listen. Anko tried to grip her hands but she's too strong. She kept on throwing her stuff. "I'M SUCH AN IDIOT!" she shouted.

"S-Sakura… Please… Stop…" Sasuke said.

But Sakura even threw it at Sasuke. Good thing he was able to dodge it.

"SAKURA PLEASE STOP IT!" Not working…

"Sasuke… Just leave. I can handle her." Anko proposed.

"No. I was the reason for this. So I'll do this myself." He said.

Sakura gave him a mean glare.

Sasuke moved closer to her. "Hey." He touched her forearm but Sakura swiped his hand off. "Touch me again and I'll kick your ass."

"Sasuke. You don't need to do this." Anko said.

"Get A-W-A-Y." Sakura threatened.

Sasuke can't stand seeing Sakura like that because of him. "I- I…" He grabbed her shoulders and pulled her to him. He hugged her so hard.

"Sakura… I'm sorry… I really didn't mean it. I know things may not come back the way it was before between us but… I wish you could just give me another chance. I can wait. No matter how long it will take. I will wait." He pulled her even much closer.

"But! Sasuke!--"

He tightened his embraced even more. "Please! JUST GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE! I'm sorry!"

Sakura pushed him. "Another chance! How dare you! You stole my first kiss and I would NEVER let anyone mess with me! Not even YOU!"

Sasuke scoffed and looked down. "It's just a kiss..." he said softly.

"What?"

Sasuke looked at her, rather, stared at her. "In magic world, kiss? It's nothing. The feeling of another's lips on mine, it's just nothing. In that world, we are sometimes forced to kiss someone, even if you don't like it. Even if it's a girl. Or even a boy. I've kissed a boy myself. We can't say no. Nobody can... Magic world? It's not as fun as you think. Being able to levitate, cast spells, summon different kinds of elemental things... It's just part of the misery we're facing. Magic world, it's also like hell. Damn hell..."

'That's so sad...' Sakura thought. 'Still... he stole my first kiss...'

"So what! I don't care! You're not in magic world right now! All I know is, you stole that special kiss! You don't know human world at all! That's why you don't belong here. This is no magic world. So I don't give a damn care about what you've gone through... You don't understand a girl's belief... I love Kakashi-sensei. And that's my belief."

Sasuke turned his back. "It's up to you. After all, it's YOUR belief right? I just wanted to say that... True love does not exist in our world." he said then left Sakura's room.

"Urghh... I SAID YOU'RE NOT IN MAGIC WORLD!" Sakura shouted but Sasuke already left. 'Sasuke... I-I'm sorry...'

------------------Couldn't Go On Like This Forever-------------------

"That was a really great performance Sakura, Sasuke." Anko exclaimed while they were eating dinner.

Sasuke chuckled. "hehe.. You think so?" he said then ate his bowl of rice and teriyaki.

"Oh yeah! You guys would've won Academy Award for Best Actor and Best Actress and Best Screenplay for the show!" Anko shouted cheerily. Then the both of them laughed.

Sakura stood up. "S-Sakura... Are you finished already?" Anko asked.

"I'm not hungry. But it was a really delicious meal Anko. Thanks. Oh... And, awhile ago, wasn't a performance. You guys make me sick." she said then banged the door.

Anko and Sasuke looked at each other.

"You think she's still mad at me?" Sasuke asked.

"Obviously."

Sasuke sighed heavily. "I wish I haven't did that to her. We would've been all laughing and eating right now. We would've been happy. And.. If I hadn't came here, maybe Sasuke and Sakura's still..--"

"It's not your fault Sasuke-kun. You're still Sasuke! Cause you're his alter ego right? So, I know that somewhere there.." she pointed at his chest. "..Sasuke's there. It doesn't mean because you're Shun doesn't mean you're not Sasuke... It's just a name!" Anko said to him.

"...just a name?"

Anko smiled. "You... are... Sasuke... Uchiha Sasuke."

Sasuke smiled. "But you said it's just a name..."

"Yeah I did say that. What I mean is... Sasuke and Shun are just one. Even if they exist in two different worlds. Just like Sakura and Nodoka. They're still one."

"I get it now."

While they were talking, they didn't know that Sakura's eavesdropping in their conversation. She heard everything. 'Just one huh?'

She lied on her bed and thought about it deeply. 'If that's true then... Then, it's just like... I don't know. But, the truth is, I don't want to be mad at Sasuke. Even if he stole my first kiss, I can still feel that there is a place in my heart that I could forgive him and give him another chance. But somehow, something inside me is stopping me. I don't understand. What is it that stopping me? What? I can't go on like this forever. I can't be mad at him for the rest of my life. It's like carrying a heavy load that you can let go anytime but I'm not. I want to give him another chance. But.. Will he still accept it? I said so many harsh things to him. Harsh and hurtful things...'

FLASHBACK

END OF FLASHBACK

'I shouldn't have said those to him.'

Meanwhile on Sasuke's room...

Sasuke lied down his bed. He can't hear Sakura even though the divider of their rooms is thin.

'Maybe she's already sleeping... Sakura and Nodoka... They're just one eh? I wish things would go back the way it was. Magic world... I don't want to go back there. But it looks like Sakura could never forgive me. And if this keeps up, I may not be able to bear it anymore. Okay. I'll find a way to go back tomorrow morning. That way, Sakura and Sasuke will go back to their same relationship. Sakura's right. I shouldn't have stole her first kiss. This is not magic world anyway. And, not only I stole her first kiss, I also stole her best friend as well. Even though we're alter egos, I'm still not that Sasuke. He's better than me.'

---------------------End Of Chappie---------------------

AN: haha... This chapter is so mushy and cheesy. But I still like it. Hope you guys did! I'm sorry If I kinda made Sakura so in-love with Kakashi. hehe... But don't worry, Sakura and Sasuke pairing is almost gonna be up. I can't just make a chapter that Sakura suddenly wake up and she found herself so in-love with Sasuke! That's just so fast. It shouldn't be that way. Of course, it has to happen slowly. Ochie? Woah.. this chapter's a bit too long don't you think? It just happens cause when my idea is flowing out, I can't stop typing it! It just comes out and it wouldn't stop until I placed everything!

Anyway, thanks for reviewing! Please don't leave this page without reviewing! I just want to hear from you guys! The day after I posted this fic, I actually got 25 hits but just 5 reviews! huhuhu... Please review! I'm desperate. hehe.
