Chapter 5:
He sighed and quietly said " I just hope I don't…" he paused before he said "love" out loud. That one simple word could change a persons' life. It could improve ones life or destroy it, its how you use your love, that's what makes a difference.
"Hey Sasuke-kun!" Sakura called as she waved and ran towards him. She slowed down abruptly when Sasuke slowly turned his head around. His sharingan eyes were lined with worry and he shouted, "Stay back Sakura!"
Suddenly, out of nowhere, hundreds of kunai and shurikens hurdled toward Sasuke. The weapons from all different directions directly hit him. He was pierced from all sides. "NOOOOO!" Sakura screamed as she ran towards him.
Sasuke was on the floor. He looked up towards her and with a trembling voice, and said, "N-No… Sakura…. don't… c-come near…" Blood oozed from his wounds. Surrounded by a pool of blood, she knelt down beside him.
His breathing was laboured and sporadic. He was panting hard as he struggled to lift his hand to her face. "Sakura…I'm sorry for all the things I've done to you. You and Naruto were the only true friends I had and I'm very grateful for that..."
Her green eyes widened as she heard his apology and she shivered. "Sasuke-kun," She cried as she stroked his bleeding face, "Please, don't leave me! I won't know what to do if you left me! Please, Sasuke-kun! I love you! I love you so much! Please…don't leave me!"
Sasuke coughed up blood and smiled weakly. He started to close his eyes but she grasped his hand and held on tight. At this moment, she knew he was fading away. "No… NOO! Sasuke-kun, please don't leave me! Come on, be strong, you can't leave me here, not now! Please Sasuke-kun! I will do anything for you. Just don't leave me. Let me come with you!"
She felt helpless as she buried her head into his chest and tried to feel a heartbeat. It was a faint and slow beat. He looked into her eyes and spoke softly, "Thank you so much for everything you've done for me. Sakura…. I…I… I lo—….." He closed his eyes and took his last breath and collapsed limply in her arms. Sakura lifted her head from his chest and sobbed out, "NOOOOOOO! SASUKE-KUN!……"
"NOOOOOOO! SASUKE-KUN!..." Sakura shrieked as she sprung from the bed and started gasping hard. She clutched her chest and trembled as she recalled her nightmare last night. 'What was that horrific dream I had. It was very depressing. What happened to Sasuke-kun. I hope he is alright.'
She had a few tears in her eyes but she quickly swiped them away. She tried to get out of bed but the pounding in her head stopped her from doing that. She put her hand on her forehead and it was burning up. 'Oh no, I hope I don't have a fever… I have a mission to do with Naruto and Sasuke-kun!' Her eyes collected tears and they were threatening to come out, but she held them in.
She couldn't cry now, she had to be strong, it could probably never happen to Sasuke. 'He can't, and wouldn't die just yet. He has to fulfill his goals, to resurrect his clan and to kill a certain man, which is his brother'
She had to be strong. Not only for herself but for Sasuke too. She would be strong and could do the mission. She looked at her clock and it read 6:47am. 'I should probably get ready for the mission now, I wont want to be late.'
So with that, she got up from bed and folded her covers. But when she bent down her headache started worsening and she was having second doubts. 'I cant let my team down, even thought I'm not as strong as Sasuke-kun or Naruto, I should at least be there for moral support!'
She changed into the red dress she usually wears and put a little mascara on. She positioned the Konoha headband and packed her things for the mission. Sakura whispered a good-bye to her parents and when outside into the morning rays.
The sun was beginning to rise and it was very beautiful. The flowers were dipped in dew and they sparkled in the sunlight. Some leaves were falling from the tress and the scenery was absolutely stunning. Sakura smiled and she silently walked towards the meeting place.
As she was promenading towards the meeting spot her head began to pound and she put her hands on her forehead. It was throbbing so bad that she stopped to rub her temples.
"Ahh, why did this happen JUST before a mission!" she grumbled to herself as she kept on walking. She didn't even notice Sasuke walking towards her.
Sasuke was walking along the road and smiled when he saw Sakura strolling towards the bridge where they usually meet up for meetings and mission briefings.
Then he frowned in concern because she was bent down, holding her head, and muttering to herself. "Are you alright Sakura?" Sakura looked up and saw Sasuke looking at her strangely. "Oh, nothing much, I just have a tiny headache…"
She smiled to show him it wasn't serious but then the throbbing began again and this time she crouched down, rubbing her temples and started groaning, "Ughhh…."
Sasuke smirked and thought,'Seems to me she was trying to impress me… Well, I can't say it did, but she did try and come to do the mission' "Sakura,"He said gently, "I really think you should go back to bed. Naruto and I can handle one small mission. It is probably cleaning up someone's yard or something."
She peered up at him with her fingers covering her forehead now and answered with confidence, "No. I am dedicated to this team and I have to complete the tasks given to me."
Sasuke gave her a little "hmph" and started walking again. He put his hands behind his head and looked back. "Well? Aren't you going to come?" Sakura scrambled to her feet and began a steady pace beside him. They were walking in silence and enjoying the morning air.
When they both got to the bridge, no one was there yet so Sakura sat down on the bench. She looked at Sasuke before petting the seat next to her. He gave her a small grin before taking a seat next to her.
He put his hands behind his head again and looked up into the sky. Sakura looked at her pink watch. It was already 7:53 and neither Naruto or Kaka-sensei were here. 'Where are they' Sakura wondered.
Sakura yawned and realized that she was still pretty tired. She closed her eyes for a second because her head started hurting again and told herself that she would only rest her eyes.
But it seemed that she was more tired that she thought because as soon as she closed her eyes she lay on the bench and ended up sleeping.
Sasuke took his hands from his head and looked over. 'Sakura is really beautiful when she is sleeping…' 'What? Where did that come from?'
Sasuke scratched his head. 'Why hello again. It's me, your conscience?' Sasuke groaned. 'What? I'm not THAT bad…am I?' Sasuke rolled his eyes and said, "I can't believe that I'm talking to myself."
"Mmmmm…"
Sakura moaned as she shifted and put her head on his lap. Sasuke froze and his eyes widened. He felt his cheeks and they were burning hot. He realized that he was blushing fiercely.
"As long as there is no one here, I'm fine." Sasuke grumbled. He looked down at her and smiled. He looked around to make sure no one was looking and he slowly bent down to her forehead.
He brushed his lips over her forehead and thought 'Her skin feels so soft…' Then he lightly kissed it. 'Mmmmm, she smells like...' He thought for a moment and then he thought of her sweet scent. 'Mmmm. her essence smells like freshly picked strawberries. I like strawberries.'
He breath deeply in her hair and sighed. It was a happy sigh though. He smiled. He lightly touched her smooth cheek and he kissed that too. He then looked at her lips and he heated up a bit. 'Damn, whydo I always feel... hot whenever I am around her?'
He slowly bent down, his lips hovering just above hers. His heart was thumping now but he said to Sakura, "At least no one is here to see this..." But as soon as those words came out of his mouth, he heard a loud gasp.
