I do not own Naruto.
DK: I know, I probably could have done better with explaining. Yes Sasuke was in love with his sister...
"Did I mention that I like the character Riley herself? Blue eyes and black hair has to be one of the greatest pairing of hair and eyes, added to the pale skin and kind expressions, it would make her a very beautiful girl."
Thanks. . I have black hair and light blue eyes(wish they were an ice blue) so the looks somewhat came from me.(I'm a natural brunette though.)
"I write for myself and only myself. If you like it, good for you. If you don't, oh well." True!
Chapter 6:
I had fallen back asleep for a couple hours because the next thing I knew, I was woken up by someone shaking me lightly. I slowly opened my eyes and blinked a couple of times to get the things around me to register once again. There sat Gaara, Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi. I was tempted to get up and deck Nartuto one but felt Gaara's hands push back on my shoulders.
"Sasuke, I was called by the nurse yesturday. It seems that these three came and lied to get in to see you when you weren't allowed visiters. I got two different stories and one of them refused to talk." I glanced at Sakura. She must have been the one to keep quiet. She looked away. It was obvious she didn't say anything. Was she afraid of me? My attention was reverted back to Kakashi when he cleared his throat.
"Sasuke, what happened?" I looked away.
"I don't know what you're talking about," I lied. I knew it made him mad. I felt him tense some, holding back his frustration with me. I smirked and looked back at him. "Now leave me alone." With that said, I turned and layed back on the bed. I felt Gaara place his hand on my shoulder again.
"Sasuke, you'd only be helping if you told him."
"And why would I wanna help?" I sat up. "I mean, it's not like I really care anymore." Sakura opened her mouth to ssay something but closed it as if not sure what to say now. She looked away from me. My eyes locked on her.
"Alright damnit! Out with it Sakura!" I snapped at her. She looked at me and shook her head, her eyes showing she was a bit spacy today. What was with her? Then I remembered. Today was her day. I looked up at the clock. I would be at the grave sight by now to give her flowers. I looked back at them, stood from the bed and walked over to Sakura.
"My room, there's money in the top drawer with my t-shirts near my bed. Take out enought to buy roses, blue ones, and put them there." It was obvious her and Naruto knew about it last night, so I was going to ask Sakura to do a simple task. She looked me dead in the eyes. I froze, my breath catching in my throat. That look of sadness...It reminded me of Riley. I backed away some and nodded.
"Never mind." My voice was a bit weaker than I wanted it to be. Kakashi sighed some. All eyes rested on me. I sighed and turned to the window. Cherry-blossom petals. The wind had caught them from the tree just outside that small ass window.
"Alright. You three back to class. Sasuke, you and I are going to talk." The three of them walked out, Naruto taking one last look at me with a smirk. Did he know more than I wanted him to about her? I shook the feeling and looked at Kakashi. He seemed a bit on the irratated side. I didn't blame him. I just smirked though, wanting to get on his nervers. It was working.
"What is it?"
"Sasuke, I don't know what's been going on in that head of yours but get over it. Her death came and went and there's nothing you can do now."
"es, there is. I can kill Naruto for her death. It was his fault after all."
"And how's that Sasuke?"
"He took her trust from me. He took her from me all together. It hurt Kakashi! To know your sister would turn on you for some dobe! How would you feel if your sister betrayed your love for an idiot like Naruto!" Oh man, please tell me that did not come out of my mouth. I knew the others were still standing by the door as well as Kakashi did. He was silent. There was a movement from out side my door and it swung open to reveal a struggling Sakura, Gaara and Naruto, whom of which were holding her back. Naruto looked a bit shocked and disgusted. Sakura looked at me.
"Sasuke? Y-you were in love with your sister!" The words stung and I winced at them. Her eyes narrowed.
"And I thought she was lying! SICK BASTARD!" She managed to get something and threw it at me. It hit me hard in the forehead, knocking me back. I was able to catch my balance. I felt the knot forming already. I dropped to my knee's from the pain, the pain also blinding me. I felt something trickle down my forehead and heard someone. They were a bit worried from what I heard, then I felt hands on my shoulders, and I heard her voice.
"Sasuke! Sasuke! Are you alright! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hit you that hard. Sasuke? Sasuke, answer me!" I pulled my hand away from from my head, still blinded from the pain but made an attempt to see how much blood was on my hand. No use. I couldn't see. Sakura must have known what I was doing.
"It's not that bad Sasuke." her voice was weak. I placed my hand back over my head to try and stop the pain enough for my eyesight to return.
"I think it best all of us leave for now. Sasuke needs time to regroup. Calm down."
"But Sensei! We can't just leave Sasuke like this! I should stay and help him a bit. I mean, it's my fault he's bleeding." I hated her. She was way too kind.
Sakura's PoV
I felt really bad for Sasuke. I didn't mean to have hit him so hard like that. when I saw the small amount of blood, I knew how hard the pen must have hit. Yes, it was a pen. Kakashi looked at me a moment and nodded.
"Alright then. Sasuke is in your care for today. Each of you will get one day entirely alone with Sasuke. I'll explain more later. Come Naruto, Gaara." With that, the three of them walked from the room. I sighed and felt Sasuke push me away.
"Leave me...Leave me alone Sakura. You hate me and I don't like you." I gasped. He thought I hated him. Wait, why didn't he say he hated me too? He just said he didn't like me. Normaly he would have said he hated me, despised me and wanted me to fuck off. I just stared at him a moment. He stood, nearly falling once again. I had stood and caught him. He pushed me away again and landed on the bed. I just watched him a moment. He climbed all the way up onto his bed and curled into a small ball.
"Sasuke..."
"Seeing as how I can't see, and my body's nearly numb, will you throw that small blanket over me Sakura?" HIs voice was relunctant. I nodded, walked to the bed and threw the blanket over him. He soon fell asleep like that and I watched him. I didn't want to take my eyes off him. Not yet. Then I soon dozed off...
DREAM
Sakura and Riley sat on the bed in Sakura's room, both talking. Riley had seemed upset all that day and Sakura finaly got her to talk.
"What's been with you all day Riley?" Sakura asked.
"Well...I uh...Nothing Sakura." She lied. Sakura sighed.
"Tell me. I'm your friend and you can tell me anything."
"Sasuke...He tried to..." Her voice trailed off and Sakura felt her heart drop. She didn't know if she should believe it or not. Riley then smiled with the most sincerety. "But he's my older brother. I'm glad I still have him, so let him be. I love him dearly. Say, Sakura."
"Yeah Ri?"
"If something happens to me, will you protect him from the pain and suffering he will endure?" Sakura gasped at this and looked at her best friend, not sure what to say.
"I uh...yeah..."
"Good. I have a feeling one of us, between Sasuke and I, will die in this war. Our clan is the reason this war is going on." She smiled still, that sweet and innocent look on her face. Her ice blue eyes closed with that sweet smile on her tilted face. Her hair was down and very wavy and long. It was over her shoulders as she had been brushing it moments before. She opened her eyes to look at her pink haird friend, whom had reached over, running her fingers through her hair.
"I've always wanted hair this long. It's gorgous. Riley." She looked up at her.
"Yeah Sakura?"
"Why did you ask if you died?"
"Because, normaly the women are the first to go in our clan. That's the way the people hurt our village. The ones that destroyed our clan." The door opened to reveal a very worn out Sasuke. He looked up from catching his breath and his eyes caught Riley's. He soon broke eye contact and looked straight at Sakura.
"K-kakashi-Sensei is summoning you Sakura-chan. Sister, are you staying here tonight." His eyes never went to Riley's. They went right for the window as he stared at the moonless sky. She smiled at Sasuke the same way she smiled at Sakura.
"Ofcourse not Brother. I'm coming home with you." She jumped up and walked to him, latching herself to his arm, smiling up at a confused Sasuke. Sakura seemed to be glaring at him as she pushed past him.
"Come Brother. Let's go home." Sasuke looked nervously down at his younger sister and nodded, walking down the hall. She stayed latched to his arm as they walked all the way home. Sasuke got glares and weird lokos but he ignored them, wrapping his arm protectively around his sister. Naruto rounded the corner and Riley stopped to stare at him.
"NARUTO!" Se called, smiling and waving. Naruto turned their way, smiled and waved back to her. Sasuke couldn't help but feel slightly jealous of Naruto. He swore then that he would definatley make her his.
A/N: Oh man! This has to be the most SUCKASS chapter so far. I am soooooooooooooooooooooo sorry!
