Chapter 2: New Chance
The morning came, washing away the remnants of the storm last night. It was almost cheerful… except for a girl, lying curled in her bed. Sasuke has refused her again. after all she had done… the tears, the moments of coldness, the pain… she was fed up.
That day, she didn't cry nor think of ways to get him again… but she, Sakura was so mad at him, furious of all the dumping scenes she has experienced. Now is the time, she would make that "trash" regret his deeds.
Wonder if she could do it…
She lied on the bed a few more moments. She spent moments thinking about him, analyzing the whole situation, realizing the thoughts and emotions that overcame her. Sasuke-kun…It was Sasuke. Not just the ordinary guy that she can always ditch or punch away. Sasuke, her eternity, her forever…her life. It was hard for a girl, aged 15, to forget her feelings for a very special person. Indeed, she has given most of her years following, loving, crying, thinking about Sasuke-kun.
To get revenge, you must first feel your pain, plunge into your anger, and plan wisely
The words echoed to her like fangs clinging into her bones. it was a piece of paper she has read when she was 8 years old, having been hurt by her playmates, her mother gave it to her. A piece of paper from a worn book
No. Revenge is not the answer to my problem. This anger would pass and all things would be normal. Right? I think I better give Sasuke-kun another chance. He wont fail me, I do really trust him. Maybe this time he would agree and cling on to that answer. Maybe…
She beamed at the mirror while combing her hair. Her reflection on the glass imitated a face full of hope and happiness. Sakura is one forgiving woman and Sasuke is one lucky guy.
The day passed by without a shadow of the well-known Uchiha prodigy. While walking in the alley beside the Yamanaka flower shop, Ino, Sakura's ultimate rival in Sasuke's heart, leaped out of the shop and screamed at her.
"Hey, Forehead girl!" said the pig
" Oi, Ino-pig, what's up?" replied the huge forehead
"Sasuke-kun's mine for the spring festival!"
"what?"
"clueless, ei? tomorrow night would be the start of the Spring festival held every 3 years. Bet you didn't even attended the last festival because you're oh so busy covering for your huge face" she stuck her tongue and pouted a bit.
"so?"
"awww.. cute little forehead girl is so dense not to know the importance of the festival…"
"hmp… I got to go now, pig, I'll still find my companion to join me to the festival and don't even think about Sasuke-kun because he would be with me" she pouted, mimicking Ino's and walked away.
If me and Sasuke-kun would go together in the festival…
Out went our princess looking for her lost prince currently wandering among the forest to find a sparring partner to help him train for future missions. He leaps from tree to tree and started aiming his kunais on random trees that are supposedly the targets.
Hmm… how I wish someone would come and train with me. It's so elementary training myself alone in this stupid forest.
Your wish is granted, Sasuke for here is the companion your waiting for but of course not a sparring partner.
"good day, Sasuke-kun!"
"…"
"I was ummm… wondering if you have something to do tomorrow night?"
"I have a lot of important things to do"
"but could you please delay them for a night… I mean.. could you go out with me for the spring festival?"
"no"
"but Sasuke-kun… please" the girl was nearly in tears and she's literally begging him to go.
"…"
"…"
After a million more "…" s…
"fine, I'll go"
"REALLY!" Sakura squealed.
"…"
"oh… thank you so much, Sasuke-kun! You're the best! I'll do anything just to reciprocate your kindness to me… thank you so much…"
"anything?"
"hmmm…" she was busy praying to all the gods and saints there is, saying her thanks and wiping her tears that she didn't hear the question.
"let's fight"
"wha-"
Before she could answer, Sasuke was well hidden on a tree watching her moves and anticipating her techniques. He remembered what has he done and mentally slapped his head a few times. Stupid Sasuke… you let that girl hope for more…
They spar and obviously, Sasuke won but Sakura, in the bottomest part of her heart felt herself win amidst the wounds she had received while limping with bandages on her body towards her home.
Tomorrow came and the princess was nowhere to be found in the house. Just around 8:00 in the morning, being overly excited and all, was seen in a store known for selling bright colored kimonos. hours passed, and after donning every dress there is, she has finally settled on a soft cotton pink (of course) kimono stitched with small cherry blossoms on the corners. She also bought a fan especially embroidered with "sakura and sasuke forever" on the edge bearing a shade of black and a light pink.
"miss, I think the colors doesn't mix well… its quite different and so contrasting with each other" she remembered the store owner saying.
"well… I think contrasting colors are meant for each other… they say opposites attract each other right?"
her smile all throughout the day shines more brightly than the stars that illuminates the night sky at the festival. She walks briskly towards the house of her prince, telling herself that nothing would go wrong this time. This night would be the king of all the nights there is for them…
Meanwhile at Sasuke's house…
"what the-"
a letter arrived. And Sakura's prince came running down the forest in the night pursuing its source. It was the start of the festival when he went out and he didn't forgot about it. he decided he might say sorry for Sakura tomorrow. It's not a big deal, right?
Knock, knock
"Sasuke-kun?"
It was a stormy evening. The clouds were almost pitched black, alarming passengers of the impending storm, the trees furiously wrestling with each other, the sky ditched the sun and was covered with mourning colors and the winds… oh the winds… it was the fiercest, silently stinging her smooth skin. The pink-haired girl, oblivious to the atmosphere, searched aimlessly for a man she had loved. In her mind was a figure of her eternity that she has poured her soul into. Sasuke-kun… the name etched forever in her heart. How she longed for him as she tried to chase his silhouette in the darkness, amidst the lonely and damp corners of their village. But then… he was nowhere to be found.
Hmmm… you think this scene has happened before? Oh, the rain, it would always be there for failures, for losers who are in need of company trying to make the situations worse. Poor Sakura…now there is no Sasuke to bring her home. I can predict now the boiling hot lava ready to explode in her pale body… Watch out everyone coz here now lies the new avenger in Konoha…
The morning came and the dry leaves have left its mother. She awoke lying outside the door of the boy she now hates. The bird are chirping wildly and as she open her eyes, her hands fell unconsciously to scratching her buttocks and trying to lift her body to stand. Realizing she's on the front door of Uchiha Sasuke, she immediately rubbed her face on it…
"ooohhh…Early in the morning I'm with my Love…" she said softly silently hoping that Sasuke-kun would hear her and let her in. but why am I here?
"THAT STUPID DUMB BASTARDDDD IS NOT GOING TO GET AWAY THAT EASILY FROM ME, ya hear?" she screamed while stomping on the unfortunate dried leaves that littered the streets and the dirty trashes from last nights festival. Oh yeah, by the way, The spring festival was still continued even if there is rain.
To get revenge, you must first feel your pain, plunge into your anger, and plan wisely
The first step was done, Sakura is now feeling her pain and not only plunging into her anger but she almost drowned on it…. and next is the planning… what now, Sakura?
