Chapter iii - Stop That Wizard!
An Angel's Desire
Fulfilled: Return of Shun
Recap: Days after Sasuke was brought to the human world, he and Sakura had a really big fight. It seems like Sakura doesn't want to forgive him. So the powerless wizard decided to go back to his world in anyway he can.
--------------------Stop That Wizard!--------------------
Sakura opened her eyes and found herself on the floor. 'Huh? Did I fell while I was sleeping?' She stood up and brushed herself up. She was still feeling sleepy but she went to the bathroom and washed her face. Then she dried her face with a towel. 'sigh... What time is it anyway? I don't wanna be late for school.' She went to get her clock and found out it's already... "10:00! Oh no I'm so late!" She rushed to find Anko. Dashing as fast as she could. 'Damn that Anko and Sasuke! Why didn't they wake me up!' She found Anko peeling apples in the kitchen.
"Anko!" she shouted, panting.
Anko turned to her. "Oh? What's the rush?"
"What do you mean what's the rush? I'm 2 hours late for my class! Kurenai-sensei will scold me again!" She said rapidly.
Anko laughed. "What's so funny?" Sakura asked in her dismay.
Anko laughed harder. She put down the knife and the apple she was holding. She chuckled before even saying anything. "Get a grip Sakura-san... It's Saturday! Have you forgotten?"
"What? Saturday?" Sakura mumbled. 'I must've forgotten after everything that happened yesterday.'
Anko nodded and smiled. "Here. Have some apples. I peeled many." She said and offered the peeled apples to her.
Sakura smiled and got hold of them. She got a piece and took a bite. "Oh... It's Saturday right? Why isn't Sasuke here?"
"...he said he has to do something." Anko replied while slicing some carrots.
"Something to do? Did he told you where he's going?" she asked, munching some more apples.
"Uh... Somewhere near the school field I think. He said he'd take a look at the cherry blossoms tree. I don't know why though."
"..."
Sakura stopped eating. 'Cherry blossoms tree? That was the place I first met Shun. Is he planning to go back to his world?'
FLASHBACK
"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..."
"I SAID YOU'RE NOT IN MAGIC WORLD!"
END OF FLASHBACK
"H-Hey... Sakura!" Anko shouted.
Sakura somehow returned to reality from her trance. "What?"
"Aren't you mad at Sasuke-kun?" she asked, now slicing tomatoes.
Sakura shook her head. "I don't know. Whenever I think about it, I get confused. I don't know what this is. I can't understand myself... I don't know what I have to think when Sasuke's here. I don't know even know what to think of myself! Why is this happening Anko?" she stared at her.
Anko stopped what she was doing and sighed deeply. "...maybe you're just starting to accept him... Actually, I don't know either! There are a lot of mysteries in life that are yet to be solved. I have many which remained unclear and distant until now... I hope you get the answers in yours." she stared at the sliced tomatoes and looked at Sakura. "right now, all you can do is wait... it will come to you."
Sakura trembled. 'What's happening? I suddenly felt so scared... Sasuke...-- Sasuke! Maybe he's trying to go back to his real world!'
"A-Anko I have to go and find Sasuke! Thanks!" She said then hurriedly left.
'huh? What was that about anyway?' Anko said to herself. Well.. Nevermind.
Meanwhile on Sasuke...
'This is the tree where me and Sakura met... I hope this works.'
He placed his hand flat on the trunk of the tree. He tried to concentrate to be able to use his powers to get back. He closed his eyes. 'Maybe if I placed my energy here, I could be able to travel back. I hope so.. Grandpa said that if someone used a certain thing that is not tolerable for that world, it may have a chance that the person may be sent to the other.'
He concentrated really hard. Sweat is dripping down his face. "urghh..." After another minute, still nothing.
'I have to do this! For everyone's sake! For Sakura...'
"I don't belong here! So please let me go back!"
His hands suddenly sunk in the tree. 'It worked. Finally... Sakura... It's been really fun being with you even for such a short matter of time. Anko... Thanks for teaching me a lot of things about the real meaning of life...'
------on Sakura-----
Sakura ran as fast as she could.
'I hope I'm not too late.'
By the time she was near, Sasuke's body is halfway in the tree. 'Oh no..' She ran faster but her legs can't take the pressure. Her legs numbed and she fell on the ground.
"Sasuke!"
Sasuke turned and saw Sakura. "S-Sakura?"
Sakura tried to stand up but failed. She tried again and failed. "S-Sasuke... I- I'm sorry... So sorry..." Tears well up in her eyes. It's not the pain that caused her the tears. But the sight of a friend leaving her.
Sasuke smiled. "It's okay Sakura-san. You don't mean any of this to happen. So now, I'll just bring back the way your life really was. Even though I'm not here, the other me is still here for you. He can take care of you more than I can."
Sakura cried even harder. 'Sasuke.. I don't want to lose you. Even if you're such an idiot sometimes. You're my friend now. And more like family. Please don't leave me...' She tried to get up once more. Her legs trembled. Her body almost collapsed. But she took it. She started to walk. And when she reached him, she stretched out her hand and reached his.
"Sasuke.. I won't let you go. Pull yourself back."
"S-Sakura?"
"Just do it!"
But Sasuke's body is too deep in. He tried to pull himself back but he can't. It's like the gravity's pulling him in. "S-Sakura.. I can't!" He gripped Sakura's hand tighter as he continuously sink inch by inch.
"Sasuke!"
His whole body's swallowed. Except his arm. "Sasuke!" Sakura used both of her hands. She pulled harder. Sasuke's hand losed it's grip but Sakura kept hers. "Sasuke please!" Her hands began to get sweathy. "I- I'm losing my grip!" She pulled harder but she just can't. She ended up throwing herself backwards. And Sasuke?
Gone.
"Sasuke! Sasuke! Sasuke!" She cried as she hit the ground. Her hand is getting wounded. But she didn't care. As long as her friend is back.
'It's all my fault! It's all my fault! I shouldn't have said those things to him! I should've just accepted his apology and go back the way things was.'
Her tears won't stop rolling down her cheeks. "Sasuke!" She kept shouting the name of the person he'd never talk to again. Even if the real Sasuke's back, it's still different. Shun is different...
She didn't know she was crying for about 20 minutes now. Her shirt is all soaked up with her tears. Her smooth hands, now became bloody. It was horrible. But nothing could be more horrible for her than losing her best friend.
"Sasuke... Just please... I want you now..." she murmured.
---------------------An Angel's Desire--------------------
Sakura cried and cried and cried. It was all she could do. She's helpless. She couldn't do anything but cry.
"Stop crying you big baby!" she heard someone say.
She looked up and saw Sasuke. That face.
"Shut up! You don't know anything." She replied. She knew it was the real Sasuke. Cause he's the only one who could put up a sarcastic tone to her.
Sasuke went to her side and touched her shoulder.
"It's okay. I know what it is."
Sakura stared at his eyes. "Yeah? Well... I- I just want him back."
Sasuke smiled. "So.. You prefer him rather than me?"
"N-No.. It's not that. I just started to get to know him that's all. And I want to be close to him too..."
Sasuke sat beside her and held her hand. He gripped his hand tightly. "I- I missed you y'know... It's like hell there. I feel I wouldn't last.. Without you... and Anko."
Sakura looked at him. She remembered what Shun said.
FLASHBACK
"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..."
"True love does not exist in our world..."
END OF FLASHBACK
Sakura fell to Sasuke's lap crying.
"I thought I told you to stop it?" Sasuke said. "H-Hey... Sakura!" He noticed blood on the ground. He saw her other hand. It was bleeding.
"S-Sakura! What happened to your hand?" He said holding her hand.
Sakura kept on crying. "I- I miss him... But I missed you too... I don't know... I want to have the both of you. But I can't..."
Sasuke held her bleeding hand and placed it on his mouth. He tried to sip out the blood from her hand.
Sakura blushed.
"You should be careful Sakura-chan! You shouldn't injure yourself." Sasuke said. "Come.. Let's go home first.--"
"But what about Shun! Err.. the other you? I want to see him too-- Oh... I'm sorry..." Sakura said.
Sasuke quieted down. "I know. If Shun is here, I wouldn't be. I want to see you Sakura. Not only you! Even Anko and the others! And I'm sure Shun also wants to see his loved ones there at the magic world! That's why he decided to go back... Don't you even care about him? And me.."
Sakura stood up. "You're probably right... Maybe I could just pretend that none of this ever happened right?"
Sasuke nodded and smiled. Both of them went back home.
They explained everything to Anko.
"Nani! (What!)" Anko exclaimed almost leaping out of her chair. "Well... I'm glad you're back now Sasuke." She turned to Sakura. "This is what you want right? That Shun would go back to his own world. It's where he belongs. You said it."
Sakura looked down. "I don't know." She said lowly then sighed. "I just don't know."
Sasuke and Anko looked at each other. They were confused. But Sasuke, he felt sad. Really sad. He feels like Sakura doesn't really want him to be back at all. He can't take it. He wanted to be with his best friend. He just want to live in a normal life. He hates it in magic world.
"Sakura..." he murmured.
Sakura looked at him. His eyes were baggy. He looked like he would collapse. "What is it?" she asked softly.
"If... If you really want the other me back so badly..." he started. He looked at her green emerald eyes. He stared at it. "...then... maybe I could just..."
Anko looked at Sasuke in pity. She knew being in magic world isn't easy. Shun said it himself. It was like hell.
"I could just... switch back." he finished.
Sakura turned away. She looked at the window. It was already getting dark outside. It's almost 6 in the evening. "Sasuke..." he mumbled.
Sasuke turned away too. He looked at the opposite side. "It's okay..."
Sakura looked at him even though he's looking at the other side. "Anko... Can we talk? Like uh.. privately."
Anko nodded and got up. She went to her room and closed the door. She could sense that they really needed a private talk.
When Anko was gone, Sakura sat beside Sasuke in the couch. He looked at her in awe. He realized how stunning his best friend is. He just noticed it since they were seating so close to each other right now. "I can go back to the magic world. If you really want me to." he said softly, almost like whispering.
"But.. I also don't want you gone. I want the both of you--"
"You can't have everything you wish for Sakura." He cut. "...you know that."
"I know!" Sakura exclaimed. "I know! But I just... I just want you... and Shun too..." Tears well up in her eyes again. She's hard-headed and stubborn. But she's too sensitive that she just doesn't want to show it at all.
Sasuke smiled. He held her cheeks on his hand. "Stop crying... I don't usually tell this to other girls but... you're really beautiful. I mean it!" Sakura sniffed but the tears just won't go away. "Now stop crying before I change my mind! You look horrible!"
Sakura hit his chest. It was kinda muscular. But it's not obvious cause Sasuke usually wears loose shirts.
"Thanks. But.. Sasuke... What about you? I mean, Shun told me that.. magic world its--"
Sasuke cut him again. He loves doing that which pisses Sakura. But at this moment, she doesn't have time to get pissed off. "It's okay Sakura. It's fine by me to go back. Nodoka's there... And I made a lot of friends... I know you miss the other me. So, you don't have to worry about me. I'll bring him back."
Sakura smiled. She was so happy that she almost fainted. Sasuke placed his arms around her back and hugged her. Just a friendly hug. He knew it's the farthest he could go. He knew he definitely have no chance to her. She was so in-love with Kakashi-sensei.
---------------------Fulfilled: Return Of Shun--------------------
It was morning. Just an ordinary morning. Except for Sakura. It's the day where a friend would return to her and another friend would leave her. You just can't have both. You have to make your decisions in life. The right ones. Sakura opened her window and tried to inhale as much air as she could. Her room is in the second floor of their house. It isn't big. But it's neat. She wants to keep her things extremely organized or else she wouldn't be able to find her things. She looked down and found Sasuke sitting on the ground under a maple tree.
'It's early. How come he's up already? It's so not him. Or is it because that's Shun?'
Sakura rushed down the stairs. Anko isn't up yet. It's just 6 in the morning. She went outside and saw the usual scenery. She walked closer to Sasuke.
"Hey." she greeted.
"Good morning." Sasuke replied without looking at her. "You're up early today I see."
Sakura nodded. "Uh-huh.." She sat beside him and tucked her knees. She wrapped her arms around her thighs.
"Don't sit like that. Aren't you aware that you're wearing a mini skirt?"
Sakura blushed and quickly sat with her right leg tucked under her left one. She spread her skirt on her lap so it wouldn't fly up.
"You seem to be so spaced out. What's bothering you?" Sasuke said softly still not looking or even glancing at her.
"You..." she murmured.
Sasuke chuckled. "I know... You've been thinking about what I said yesterday?"
Sakura nodded. But Sasuke didn't see it cause he's not looking at her at all. He keeps on staring at the surroundings. He missed it. All he could see in magic world are people fighting. Magic and some other stuff. There's hardly any peace except in the school field where the Cherry blossoms tree that Shun loves stands.
"If you're wondering, I'm still willing to go back you know." he said.
"What if I said no?" Sakura asked holding her skirt down. The wind is starting to get stronger.
"I'd still go."
Sakura looked at him. "And why is that?"
Sasuke just took a glance of her then quickly turned back to the scenery again. "I know you really want Shun back. Even if you deny it, I know that you want him back."
Sakura turned away. "So.. When are you planning to go?"
Sasuke stood up. "Now."
She looked at Sasuke, rather stared at him. Sasuke turned to her and gave her a lopsided grin. "What? It's not like we're not gonna see each other again!" Sakura didn't say anything. Of course, she wanted to see the other Sasuke, but she still wants the real one. Sasuke grabbed her hand and pulled her up. "Okay? Let's go." Sasuke let go of her hand and started to walk. Without saying anything, Sakura just followed her best friend.
They reached the cherry blossoms tree after a while. "So this is it. It's early. No one would probably see us." he said. He took a step near the tree and closed his eyes. He doesn't have any idea how to go back but probably he could. Nothing happened after a minute or two.
He turned to Sakura. "How did Shun did it?" he asked. "Beats me." was the reply of the half-hearted Sakura. "Maybe you can't go back anymore..." Sakura said. "Hmm.."
Suddenly, the light shone. And Sasuke was being pulled by the tree. "S-Sasuke!" she managed to say. Sasuke smiled. "I'm glad it worked. We'll see again Sakura-san!"
Sakura reached for his hand. She wanted to feel his hand just for that time. Then she released it. After a while, Sasuke's gone.
Sakura sighed heavily and sat by the tree. She waited and waited. 30 minutes has passed and Sasuke still isn't returning. 'Sasuke? Dokuni (Where are you)?' She decided to wait for another 30 minutes. She looked up the sky and gazed at the birds flying. It's almost winter so the birds are going to another place to escape the cold. The cherry blossoms tree's leaves are already starting to fall. It's autumn by the way. She continued gazing at the sky.
'i wonder how it feels to be able to fly?'
Just then the tree started to release blinding light again. She stood up and backed a bit. It was shining really brightly that she covered her eyes. After a while, she noticed a body coming out of the tree.
'Sasuke...' she thought.
She noticed that he's unconcious. When his full-body was released by the tree, he started to fall. Sakura ran to catch him. Luckily, she did. Sasuke is still unconcious. "Sasuke! Sasuke!" she shouted trying to wake him up. "Hey!" she tried to shake him but it's still not working. "C'mon.. Wake up.."
"Urghh..." Sasuke mumbled. Slowly, his eyes began to open. He could see an image, but it's not so clear yet. "Sa...kura..." He looked down and saw a bandage wrapped around her hand. "What happened to your hand?"
Sakura smiled and cried in joy. She hugged Sasuke so tightly. "S-Sakura.." he murmured. Sakura was hugging him so tight so he hugged her in return. He could already feel her breasts pushed down on him. But he didn't mind. It was normal. But he blushed a bit.
"I-I thought I'd never see you again! I was so scared.." she said still hugging him. It seems like she has no intention of letting him go. Sasuke just smiled and closed his eyes. Yes, he yearned for this moment. To feel that someone's actually caring for him. He loved it.
"I'm really glad you're back." Sakura closed her eyes and smelled his scent. It's not strong nor too mild. She loves his scent. It made her feel so secured.
"Sakura.. You might wanna let go now." Sasuke suggested.
Sakura shook her head. "No! I don't want to let you go! I don't wanna lose you! You didn't know how I felt when you went back to your world!" Sasuke chuckled. "C'mon.. I'm here now... I won't leave you." he whispered to her ears.
Sakura shivered but she was glad. She started to loosen her embrace. She didn't want to but she can't stay like that with Sasuke forever. She released him completely now. Sakura stared at his eyes.
"Hey... Sakura.. Let's go." Sasuke said. But Sakura just stared at him. "Hey..." Nothing. Sasuke chuckled. "Snap out of your delusion or I'll kiss you again." he threatened. Sakura gasped and slapped him. "Don't do it again or I swear! That's not the only thing you're gonna get!" she said, enraged.
Sasuke laughed. "I was just kidding." Sakura smiled.
"Seriously..."
--------------------END OF CHAPTER---------------------
AN: Ochie... i only placed 3 parts cause it's getting too long. Gomenasai. I'm actually thinking of making another fic. cause I just already made the future chapters. I only wait for 3-4 days then I'd upload it. I have nothing to do coz it's summer vacation. Classes will only start by September so I have pretty lots of time to do my fanfic! Anyway.. please review! I love getting reviews! It inspires me to continue and do more! Right now, I'm totally inspired even if I don't get that many reviews. I just wonder cause whenever I make Rated M fics like in my other account before, it gets pretty lots of reviews! But in Rated T, just few. Hmmm... Does that mean people loves hentai that much! haha! Nevermind that! Maybe after a few chapters, I'm gonna raise my rating. I don't know. I'm planning to put adult scenes.. But I'll think it over. This is Rated T right?
