Why did Sakura so nice even after he raped her? Do you think she would search for her own death by acted so annoying? No. I don't think so.

Chapter 6

Sasuke ran as fast as he could towards the Hokage office. He slammed the door open mercilessly. The door was threatened to break. Tsunade looked up. "Sasuke…? You do know some manners, don't you?" She then went back to her business.

"Hokage-sama, I want permission to take Sakura back here."

"Oh? Eh… sure. After I arrange…" Tsunade looked up. Sasuke was no longer there.

"Kakashi! Kakashi-sensei!" Sasuke ran towards his perverted teacher. "Huh? What, Sasuke?" He raised his gaze from his trademark book.

"May I borrow Pakkun?" he said, panting.

"What for?" Kakashi replied his question with question.

"Sakura." It explained enough.

"Eh, sure. Kuchiyose no jutsu!" A dog appeared from the place where Kakashi's hand had just been.

"Pakkun, please, find Sakura's smell." Sasuke asked him in a hurry. Soon…

He will come here… I could sense it…

He stared at the young kunoichi who was still training. Even if she had already trained for three hours non-stop after the break, still, not even a hint of tiredness painting her face. He was amazed, with such a dress; she still managed to move freely.

"Little flower, come here." She complied with the demand. I have a name, you shit.

"If my little brother comes here, would you meet him? What would you say?"

Silence.

"You're annoying."

"I have no feelings towards you."

"I have better things to do."

"I despise weaklings!"

Yeah… right. But another thought interrupted her bad thoughts.

"When I'm with you, those moments are priceless treasures for me."

She closed her eyes.

Don't believe it.

Because everything was simply a lie. And lies are always beautiful.

"I won't meet him, because he must be coming for you, so there's nothing that I could say. Nothing that I need to say."

After silence for a long time, she added, "If he asks about me, IF he ask," she repeated, putting more stress in 'if, "just tell him that I'm already dead. That's not a lie. I have always been dead for him for a long time."

"So much suffering, eh?"

A broken heart played across her face. The man in front of her didn't know how it was hurting him so much. "I've tried to forget him when he went to Orochimaru. Yet… I can't. When he returned here, I can't bear the feeling, I let it out. As expected, he refused. From there—three years ago, I learned not to put any foolish feelings of our relationship. Force my heart not to grow flowers. Nor to change its colour, become red or pink or blue."

She laughed bitterly, "Don't you think it's rather funny? I'm the one who was always known as the smartest student, actually, I'm such a fool. I was fooled by something which I didn't even know, which I didn't even recognize. It has no form, has no shape…"

She didn't continue. After a long time, she said softly, "After all, I've tried for three years… seems like thirty…"

Seems like thirty…

She sighed. I don't know why I'm telling him all of this, she thought.

If I may wish, when I am reborn, I want to be a stronger ninja…

so no one can hurt me anymore…

"I'm weak…" she whispered. "You have all of the power and the glory. I envy you… I always wanted to be like you… No one needs me. Even my own village despises me…"

"Get out of my sight, ultra forehead!"

"Neither you, Sakura." Sakura glanced quickly at the older Uchiha. "Nor my little brother, nor the doomed Konohagakure itself…"

Sakura stared him in wonder. What is he trying to say?

"…understand what glory is… understand what power is…"

She smiled. Those words made her feel better.

Understand at all…

"I found her scent!" Pakkun ran even faster now. Sasuke followed the cute-dog-wannabe dog. It had been hours since they started running right there and then without stopping. It was pretty hard, considering that Itachi teleported without leaving anything. And finally, they found the result of their research.

"Where is it?" Sasuke asked. "Just faint, but I'm sure it's hers. Pretty far from here, I guess."

"So hurry up!" Sasuke fastened his pace. So did Pakkun.

The journey seemed to never end. They ran… and ran. But weirdly, Sasuke didn't feel tired. Not at all. He didn't care anymore of his business. He closed his eyes. But within the darkness, her face just became clearer.

Sakura…

"Are you okay?"

I miss your voice, your eyes, your smile…

I miss you.

After a long way, Sasuke felt an excruciating chakra around. Pakkun shouted, "It's very near!"

Sasuke stopped. "Uchiha Itachi!" he said hatefully.

"Hi, foolish little brother."

The air seemed to freeze at that moment. After a long time, Sasuke broke the silence.

"Pakkun, leave." Pakkun obeyed.

"Where's Sakura?" he asked.

"Such a manner. She's dead." The elder one answered calmly.

"Liar! Pakkun smelled her scent."

"That was half true. She wanted me to say that she's already dead." Sasuke was surprised.

"What? Why? How?"

"Didn't you always ignore her? Then she just considered that she already died for you. But by the way, you're still as foolish as usual, Sasuke. You ruined the chance to own her."

"What are you talking about?" Sasuke's voice hardened.

"I didn't even know that she was a virgin until… that night." Sasuke's eyes widened. The black shade changed into the crimson one in a second. He found it was difficult to even breathe.

"You… bastard…" Chakra radiating from his body, tinted the battlefield with thick blue aura, "You raped her?"

"Whew… it surprises me that my little brother is actually smart. Yes, Sasuke. I did."

"I'll kill you!" He took a stance quickly to fight his brother.

"Good spirit of fight… Well, well, but I'm afraid that you must defeat my friend… or my doll… before you have a chance to kill me."

"Bah!" he spat, "Do you think I'll be afraid? You wish. I will even kill a dragon to kill you if that's the requirement."

"Okay… whatever you say." He broke his gaze, "Come in."

A little figure came into their battlefield. Sasuke prepared to face someone horrible like another Akatsuki member. As the sunlight made the figure known, his eyes widened, his face was in shock. The figure was familiar. With emerald green eyes, pink hair, and white-porcelain skin.

"I don't think I must introduce your opponent. But I will, anyway, here is your opponent." He smirked arrogantly.

"Haruno Sakura."

Hehehe, I could post the next chapter in very long time from now. That depends on your review, of course! So, don't you dare to forget to review me!

Have a nice day,
