Hello all! By the time you are probably reading this. IT IS THANKSGIVING! (nods) But then if someone reads this like years or months or days later. They'll be all like 'what the fuck is she talking about?' lol Anyway either way I wish a happy day all! I decided to make a sequel after this one. SO A MAJOR TWIST AT THE END! MUAHAHA!

You should no longer think of your feelings that have died. Let it continue to slumber until it slowly perishes and disappear.. Hotaru. A flash of icy eyes stared down at her.

Hotaru woke up gasping. She swung her fist at no one, "Ezekiel!"

Darkness just crept over her in response then disappeared like nothing. She grabbed her dog chains around her neck, and started to cry. (Yes cry.) "Y-you bastard… Why.." She squeezed the shiny metal that her fist covered, "Let me go.. I-I"

"Hotaru." Someone knocked on her door.

Hotaru breathed out calmly, dried her eyes and opened the door, "Sasuke? It almost 1:00-"

"I know."

"Ok?"

He closed the door behind him, "I just want to ask more questions."

"Ugh. Ok ok fine. Turn on the light." She sat on the bed, patting next to her, "Sit sit."

Sasuke sat, "How did this happen?"

"Excus-"

"How did you become this way Hotaru?"

She frowned, "That I can't answer. I don't remember so-"

"Hotaru don't lie."

"Look! Sasuke… look.. I don't remember.. I just d… I don't remember.. I" Hotaru had another flash, she closed her eyes in pain, "Ugh!"

"Hotaru?" He grabbed her shoulder, "You ok?"

"Yeah.. I.." She cleared her throat, "Look. I'm tired ok so MMF!" He didn't let her finish her sentence. He kissed her.

She pulled away immediately, a huge shock stabbed at her stomach. Almost like a razor cutting from inside her stomach trying to get out. She ignored so it wouldn't make Sasuke ask any more questions. "Sasuke!" She shouted at first then calmed after her stomach pain was over, "Sasuke.." She breathed out and caught eyes with him, "Why did you do that?"

He looked away, "I don't know." He blushed and got up.

Hotaru gritted her teeth in pain, her stomach was burning a little, but she shook it off once again and grabbed his arm, "Sasuke wait."

He stopped.

"I-I know you think we are the same. And you know what I mean. But trust me we aren't."

"B-"

"Sasuke! Let me finish." Drops of sweat starting going down her face, Shit.. I can't.. "We were raised up way differently.. And also.." She had to pause in order to catch her breath.

He started to face her but she gripped his arm harder for him to stay put.

"Also…. You.." She let him turn around, "You have your friends. They were there for you."

"Yeah right." He lowered his eyes, "They don't care."

"Sasuke.. Are you really that confused? Even if it doesn't seem like it. Or maybe its not true. There was always one person ,always, by your side. Think about it."

Sasuke thought for awhile then his eyes sunk back, "Sakura.." He whispered out, "I.." He remembered those times she had been trying to say something to him to comfort him but he ended up walking out, "And she kept trying and trying…. Oh Sakura.."

Hotaru let go.. "That's right." She smiled up at him, "Keep what you have Sasuke. Make it better and cherish it. God knows she tried hard enough.. What about you?"

Sasuke lowered his eyes then out of nowhere pulled Hotaru into a hug, he squeezed her tight, "Thank you Hotaru.. Thanks.." He let go and rushed out the door.

When he closed it, Hotaru fainted.

Sakura laid in her bed, tears stained across her cheeks, Sasuke.. I don't understand.. I try.. I really do.. But you keep pushing me away.. She closed her eyes, tears slipping out, Do you hate me?

"I love you."

Sakura gasped, sitting up, "Sasuke-kun?"

He seemed breathless, he reached out for hand, "I-I'm sorry. I know I'm a moron but-"

She practically jumped on him, slamming them both on the door. She sobbed on his chest, "I thought you hated me." More tears came out, "I-I thought."

"Ssh." He closed his eyes, stroking her hair piece by piece, "Its ok… I'm sorry… I'm sorry."

"Sasuke-kun."

"Sakura.." He lifted her bewildered head, "Since when did you call me Sasuke-kun?" He locked lips with her.

Gaara looked down at Hotaru. He gently placed her head on her pillow, Hmm.. Feverish.. He felt on her head, his long fingers touching calmly, That's not …normal, "Ugh!" A sharp sting pricked at him, …Weird..

"Ezekiel.." She mumbled out, her eyes narrowed to a look of terror, sadness..hurt..

Alrighty then. I'll make another chapter tomorrow. And earlier too so make sure to check again later that day. I'm probably going to make one all early since I have no school.
