Chapter 1 : change me, baby
T'was midnight when Sasuke pondered about leaving his hometown, Konoha, all of his friends and the memories he has once treasured. He caught his final sight and walked slowly towards the bridge where he would, a moment later, meet his teammate.
The cold breeze swallowed his body and send chills to him. He shrugged it off and glanced at the surroundings, hoping that these images would be retained in his mind after his journey away from it. slowly, he made his way and peacefully his heart wept, longing for someone who might try to stop him. His hopes were too high that it sent Sakura waiting for him in the pathway leading to the outskirts of the village.
"Sasuke-kun…" she whispered to him from a distance. She has a tear-stained face that reflected the hours she had wept… for him.
He gazed at her, knowingly. He knew that she would stop him from leaving and she would do anything, even crazy things for him not to go. this only means he should not let his guard down. He has made up his mind and it would not be subjected to anymore change. He walked as if she wasn't there, continuously ignoring her presence. A few meters more away from her, he started the talking. She was special to him after all.
"it's midnight, one should not be going here in this time, especially you…" he said in an annoyed expression.
"Sasuke-kun…are you leaving?"
"…"
"I know you are…but please… don't…."
"our destinies laid my path different from yours and I must stroll towards that destiny if I am to avenge my clan's death. Not here…"
"let us… help you, Sasuke-kun…"
"…"
he again started his pace, walking evenly against the cold streets. Suddenly, he heard the soft call of his teammate to him. She was crying, again.
"Sasuke-kun, if you intend to go…. then let me go with you….."
"…"
"Please…let me be with you. I promise… I will help you in every way I can. I know I am not the best but… let me….in"
"…"
"i will… be good to you, let me in to you so that I can show you how much I love you… how much I could care for you. I'm here, ready to share my soul. Please, Sasuke-kun, I am not afraid of going with you…" she insisted, trembling with fear of losing someone she loves so much. She knows the minute he stepped out of the village, there is a huge possibility of him not coming back. this thought pained her to the most that she had wished that somehow there would be a way where Sasuke-kun would need her so much, he couldn't stand of going away from her, ever.
While Sasuke was listening to his friend's upsetting and moving speech, his body started to rumble inside. He winced a little and slowly he felt his body shrink.
Shrink? That's not right but that was what was happening to Sasuke now.
Really…what is happening? Even his intellectual mind couldn't comprehend the event but somehow in the bottom of it all was a sort of happiness. He didn't really wanted to go, but in his mind, it was his duty to be an avenger and being an avenger means taking every risk there is just to get even a tiny bit closer to his bloody dream.
Slowly, his childhood memories came to him and flooded his mind. He remembered his family and how happy it was before. Tears flowed when it was not supposed to be… he wanted to hold something, to guide him to safety or something that would help ease the pain he was feeling. The sorrowful moments in the past mingled with the fangs of blood enveloping his body right now. He shook violently, his sharingan instantly conquered his eyes and the cursed seal exploded in his body terribly.
Sakura stared. Fear shown in her eyes and she couldn't move an inch. She know he was suffering but from what? I must do something…she summoned all her strength and her body into the clouds of smoke surrounding the man she love.
"Arigatou…Sakura…."he had said before he lost consciousness.
The morning came. The mighty sun smile and shined like there would be no tomorrow. A soft knock echoed to the room that would awake a cuddly creature sleeping peacefully in pink coversheets.
"Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked behind the door. Holding a tray of breakfast in her left hand, she pushed open with her right hand (obviously) the door leading to the room of the child.
"ummm…" he said.
This isn't right, chubby little Sasuke thought. He looked down on his hands, it was full of fat and small. Not accepting the image showed to him, he poked his hands a dozen of times and he tilted his head, looking at Sakura inquiringly. She beamed at his sight, blushing furiously before running towards him and hugging him like mad.
"ohhhh… you're sooooo cute!"
Sasuke knew he was in deep trouble but this lady in front of here doesn't even in the least worried. He was confused. What was so good about being a child again? he was saddened by the unshared emotion by Sakura. And this left him… crying.
She let go of him and asked why he was crying. He tried to speak but his voice was gulped down by gentle hiccups and continuous sniffs. Now she looked worried…, he smirked inside but the kid still kept crying and Sakura bent down to pat his back a little. That feels nice…Sasuke liked it and wanted more. He wailed. He didn't intended it to be that hard but the more he attempted to stop it, the more it grew harder. What a cry baby…
Slowly, he regained calmness and again Sakura smiled. He noticed how soothing and tender her smile was. that was the first time he ever focused his attention to it. it was like watching the sunset. Abruptly Sakura asked something.
"Sasuke-kun… how can we tell it to the others?"
he summoned his controlling powers over his body. If there is still remaining, he would use it to tell Sakura not to tell it to anybody. He was more willing to beg now just to relieve himself from utter embarrassment. He remembered Naruto and he wondered how much his best friend would kid him about it, not that he was a kid now…
the reply came like a shook of the whole body for Sasuke. He wiggled his body, side to side… with matching pleading look in the eyes.
She understood but that didn't stop her from hugging again the adorable being. She was so happy and last night when she had first cradled the sleeping child, she wanted to be with more. Though she refrained from pinching his cheeks, she didn't desist herself from hugging the Sasuke.
"ok… I would tell them… you were on vacation?"
"uhuh…"
"is that a yes?"
Sasuke nodded. The difficulty of communicating with her made him feel tired. Well, he has just gotten up from bed. Maybe I'm just hungry. Indeed it was. his stomach groaned and Sakura laughed heartily as she spooned some oats to him.
