A/N: The story occurs directly after Chapter 2… This is so cheesy…


Is This the Remedy?

Is this only but a dream? Sakura thought with insignificant curiosity but did not care whether it was or not, the only thing she cared about was Uchiha Sasuke lying beside her on the hammock where she wished upon the stars for this moment to happen….

Drip drop, drip drop, the raindrops which reached the cold, wet ground echoed softly, Haruno Sakura awoke slowly. She was on her bed cuddled beneath her thick blanket; she was in her room – in Konoha – not below the moonlight, with Sasuke on a hammock…

It was only a dream. Sakura thought, who felt like throwing something outside the window. Though she felt like crying her sadness out, she tried to control it – it didn't work though, many tears erupted from her watery, emerald eyes. Tears desperate in presence of Sasuke, tears of love and sorrow and grief…

I am alone. Always alone. Forever alone.

Regardless of her act of desperate longing, she stood up, placing her thick blanket aside, and walked slowly towards the window, to catch a glimpse of the events presently happening outside.

Raining, still raining. Indeed, it was raining. Apart from the musty pile of garbage outside being traversed by incoming flies scavenging for food wastes, it was pretty calm, no noise, no life.Boring, dull, tediousit's what it's called.

I have… no value… in life… Never before Sakura had acted like this until now, Uchiha Sasuke will never return – Never. Reminiscencing over the past events, it only caused grater pain in her heart but a small patch of joy of meeting that wonderful person in her lifetime made Sakura think otherwise. A final question rests within her mind.

Will death be the remedy?

Guessing played a major role. What if Sasuke was dead? What if he was killed by Orochimaru? Or by Kabuto?

No. That's not it, Sakura concluded. Sasuke was strong enough to defend himself, even at the hands of the most powerful – of the most wicked.

Death wouldn't be an obstacle. I would wait for Sasuke. I would die for Sasuke. I would do anything for him. Anything. I would wait. Until my hair turns white and my skin wrinkles. I would wait for him. Love is what I offer, love is what I'll get. Would anyone stand in my wake, I hold no grudge for the person, my goal is Sasuke – only Uchiha Sasuke.
