Chapter 8: The inner feelings

"Neji any sign of Sakura or Lee?" Genma asked him."No." Neji replied as he used his byakugan."Genma, I see someone up ahead." Neji told him as they quicken their pace.Once they got closer they noticed the dark figure leaning against a tree it was Lee."Lee are you alright!" Genma asked him as he started inspecting Lee up and down.There was two small cuts and a large severe one in his chest."Lee what happened?" Neji asked him.Lee couldn't even respond his body fell to the ground and started shaking uncontrollably.

"Neji, pick him up, we got to get him medical help right away." Genma commended him."I know but what about Sakura?" Neji asked as he complied with Genma's request."We'll see what Tsunade decideds to do." Genma replied.Once they arrived back at Konoha they hurried to Shizune's house whose was closer."Come on open up." Genma told himself as he knocked furiously on the door."I'm coming." The voice from inside answered.Once Shizune opened the door Genma entered immediatly and set a blanket on the floor to put Lee."What's going on?" Shizune asked all confused of what was happening."Severe blood loss." Neji replied.

Neji placed Lee down on the blanket Genma had set out.Shizune removed her robe and got next to Lee as she concentrated chakra on to her hands.After thirty minutes with out non-stop.She had finally stopped the bleeding exhausted she wrapped Lee's wounds in some bandages."Lay him over there on the couch." Shizune told Genma."Neji, what happened?" Shizune asked."I don't know, we went on the mission to catch Sasuke, everything was going as expected he arrived at his house like planned once we broke the window we expected him to be alone but there was four other ninja's in the room with him.I don't know what happened to Lee but he went out of the room and Sasuke pursued after him, me and Genma stayed and kept fighting I used my Byakugan and kicked everybody's ass, well Genma threw his toothpick at some of them."

"Ha ha, your funny." Genma glanced over at Neji and sarcasticlly told him."Come on don't deny it, I saw your toothpick hit someone on the forehead." Neji replied."But back to the story, so we were kicking ass they were no match for us so basiclly they got their ass kicked.To make the story short Sakura is missing and Lee is in this condition." Neji finished."I see." Shizune answered."I guess you guys are gonna have to wait till tommrow to see what happened if Lee is recovered by then well better enough to talk." Shizune replied as she looked over at Lee who was snoring in his deep slumber.

An hour passed and the sound of the raindrops falling on the roof got louder.Sakura woke up and noticed half of her body was on top of Sasuke.His arms were wrapped around her.She removed his hands carefully not to wake him up then she quickly sat up.She found herself starring at him as he slept, a strand of his hair covered his eyes Sakura brushed it away awakening Sasuke.

"What are you doing?" He asked her."Umm, nothing the rain woke me up." She replied abit embarressed."Goto sleep." He commanded her as he turned on his back and looked up at the ceilling.Sakura laid next to him once more."Sasuke... (pause) I've missed you." She told him as she looked at him searching for some kind of expression."Sakura...don't tell me after all this time you still..." He paused before he could finish what he was saying Sakura continued. "Sasuke, I've never forgotten about you, it's not that I don't want to, I just can't no matter how hard I try to I... I just love you so much." Sakura told him with tears in her eyes.Sasuke looked at her for some reason he couldn't find the words to say what he wanted to.Then he quickly changed his expression back to the coldless look he always had not to expose the fact she had caught him off guard.

"Sakura." He finally said."You should just forget about me." He replied."Didn't you just hear what I told you i can't no.." Sakura froze, noticing that no matter what she told him nothing would change she didn't want Sasuke to see her cry over him so she turned her back towards him without saying a word.Sasuke noticed he once more hurt her again.Maybe he did the biggest mistake bringing her along.He found himself more confused then ever he could kill a man with his bare hands and not have one remorse

about what he had done yet he felt this way all of a sudden.He found himself thinking about the past even though he didn't like to he couldn't stop.He thought about how he had hurt her so many times before and the last time they were together the thing he did.After he had taken the one part of her that nobody could ever take he treated her like shit.

"I was so stupid back then to do that." He told himself.

He looked at Sakura's back and thought it would be a nice gesture to gently touch her back.He brought up his hand and gently carressed her back with his finger.Sakura shivered at his touch."Sakura .." She felt his warm breath hitting the back of her neck as he spoke her name.She didn't even noticed when he had gotten so close.Sasuke continued with what he was saying."Stop crying...Please." He softly asked her.Sakura amazed of what was happening wiped the tears from her eyes wondering why he was being so nice all of a sudden."If you think I enjoy hurting you I don't..." He continued speaking to her."I've never liked seeing you cry and I truly regret hurting you all those times.(pause) Your beautiful Sakura, but you've chosen the wrong guy I can never be what you want me to be."

Sakura finally decided to speak up.She turned around facing him."Sasuke I don't want you to be anyting I love you for who you are." Sakura replied as she tried to define his face in the darkness.What Sakura had told him slighty pissed him off."You don't fucking know me Sakura!" He answered her some what yelling at her."You don't know nothing about me!" He kept on.Sakura quivered she didn't understand what was happening one moment he was talking to her nicely the next moment he was yelling like some kind of mad man.

"Stop yelling!" She yelled at him with tears in her eyes."You know what your right I don't know you.But who does?You block everyone out of your life you always talked about how being lonely was hell but I think you honestly enjoy it,how can I know you if you don't let me." Sakura replied to him looking for an answer.Sasuke absorbed her words in realizing she was right.His mind had gone completely blank,noticing he had lost his temper his tried to reorganize his composure."Your right..." He replied.Sakura was surpriesed he had agreed to what she said.

Sakura sat up and Sasuke noticed her gesture."Sasuke I don't want to be right I just want you to acknowledge my love for you." She softly replied."Sakura I don't get you." Sasuke told her."What don't you get?" She asked him."How can you love me?All the things I've done to you, all the times I've hurt you, all the times I've made you cry, I don't get it how can you?" He asked her annoyed with the fact that she had him more confused then ever."Why won't you accept the fact that I love you?" Sakura asked him with the tears swelling up again."Because It dosen't make sense." Sasuke responded back."Not everything in life makes sense, I love you and that's all that matters, I think I've proven to you that my love for you is real after all this time are you that stubborn not to see it?Why does everyone elses see it except you?" Sakura asked him.Sasuke just laid there trying to think of some type of answer but nothing came to him."Why can't I see it?She's the only person whos ever really tried to understand me and loves me for who I truly am.Why do I always push her away?" He found himself searching for answers to his own questions.

Sakura couldn't hold in her fustration any longer."Answer me!" She yelled at him.Sasuke sat up and looked at her face to face.For a moment Sakura thought he was gonna hit her or something."I don't want to love anyone Sakura, I don't want to go through the pain of losing anyone again." Sasuke softly responded.It all made sense to her now, why he always excluded himself from everyone, why he always rejected her love, why he did the things he did, it All made sense."Sasuke.." Sakura softly replied not sure of what to say.There was nothing to say."Let's just go to sleep." Sasuke softly told her as he laid down.

Sakura without saying a word jus laid down next to him and turned her back towards him to fall asleep.Sasuke turned facing her back, he moved in closer feeling her body heat touch his body.Wondering if she would reject his touch he touched her hand slipping his fingers through hers.Sakura gently closed her eyes.After a acouple mintues of silence she felt his hand retrive and moved her hair aside she felt his warm lips on her neck as he gave her a gentle kiss."Sakura...(Pause) I'm sorry...For everything." He whispered in her ear.This only made her start crying.She didn't understand why she was crying but the tears just came out.She felt as if he some what was starting to acknowledge her love.She wanted to tell him not to worry about it that no matter what he did she would all ways forgive him but she just stayed quiet.

"Sakura, before you go to sleep, there's something I want to clear up with you.What happened that night, I never regreted it and everything I told you was true it wasn't just words to get in your pants.I guess that I've always had a thing for you I just never noticed it untill now but what I do regret is the way I treated you the next day I was just so unsure of how to act I don't know how to explain it, if I hurt you that time I'm sorry I really am I know I've told you this already but I'm not sorry just for that time but any other time I had hurt you like I said it was never my intention."

Sakura was shocked, she never expected this to happen she didn't know how she should react if she should say somthing or if she should turn around and give him a hug or a kiss she had never been this confused.This all just came out of nowhere."Sasuke,I forgive you for everything you don't have to apologize no matter what I will always love you."

Sasuke once more put his hand around her and softly whispered "Good-night.Thank you for always trying to understand me, and for being there even if I pushed you away.I really appreciate it."
