Chapter 3 ; Farewell Sasuke-Kun
The next morning, the phone rang. It was from Sasuke-kun, of course it woke Sakura up as well. Haku picked up the phone from her room, and Sakura was listening on the other side of the line in the living room.
"Haku." Sasuke said in an sad tone. "Did you listen to the tape yet?"
"Tape? What tape?" Haku asked.
"The one in the bag, with the cloth. There was a tape in there, I want you to listen to it." Said Sasuke. But on the other side of the phone, Sakura was listening as well. But after Sasuke had said that, he hanged up.
Tape? She thought. Then she ran into the room and saw Haku listening to the tape.
-"Hey Haku, this is weird. I don't know what this feeling is. I guess it's love? Haha, well. I think I love you. But there's one thing you need to know. I'm going to America, I'm returning to Japan until I finish college. It's going to be a long time, but I hope you'll wait for me."-
Sakura is standing outside the door, heard everything in that tape. Thinking something in her head, then smirked.
"Hey Haku! Can you help me with something?" Sakura said in an nice tone, which she never did to Haku before.
Haku wiped her tears away, and looked back at Sakura who's standing by the door. "Sure"
Then walked toward Sakura. "What you need?"
"Well you see, my hair clip got lost when I was looking though the closet." She pointed to the big closet where Neji sleep in, but his already waken, and taking a walk outside.
Haku got into the closet.
"Where?"
"There!" Said Sakura, her fingers pointing to the dark corner.
"This?" Said Haku holding a hair clip in her hand. But when she looked back and saw Sakura closing the closet door.
"NO! let me out! I have to get to the airport!" That's right. Today was the day for Sasuke to leave.
But Sakura wont listen at all, and did the opposite thing. She locked the door, then woke her mom up.
"Mom! Hurry! We're going to be late." Said Sakura to her mother.
"Late for what!" Yelled Haku's step mother.
"We have to go and see Sasuke-kun for the last time, his going to America remember?" Said Sakura.
"Yea right!" Said her mother.
They've already know, but didn't tell Haku anything about it. They got dressed quickly and rushed to the airport.
But Haku was stuck in the closet. Trying to break though the door, but she's too weak. Time is running out, she only has 30 minutes till the plane starts.
As she lost all her hope, she remembered Neji. Yes, Neji could help.
"NEJI! NEJI-NII-SAN!" Haku yelled at the top of her lungs. But he's not home.
-
Neji turned home and seen the house silent. But thinking the woman are gone shopping like they usually do, so he didn't care much. Standing outside the closet door, she saw an lock between the two sliding doors.
He opened it. Then soon saw Haku rushing out of the closet, Haku almost got him to scream like a girl. Then he looked at Haku's back as she ran to the door, and called a taxi.
-
"To the xxxxx airport! Fast!" Haku said to the driver.
-
At the airport Sasuke was hoping to see Haku, and not Sakura. He waited and waited, it's already 20 minutes since he entered the airport. But still didn't see Haku anywhere.
Just as he got his bag and ready to leave. He heard "SASUKE-KUN!"
Haku brought the tape recorder along with her. "Sasuke-kun!"
He looked back then run toward Haku.
"I thought you cant make it, but thank god you made it!" A smile appeared on Sasuke's face.
Haku push down the record button on the tape recorder and said. "Sasuke-kun, I think I love you too."
Tears appear of Haku's face and also Sasuke's. He then hand Haku a necklace.
"Here! The once you have matches the one I have. It's an heart shaped necklace with diamonds surrounding the heart, and Sasuke's was a circle with diamonds in around the sides. Then Sasuke opened the circle and put the heart inside the circle.
"See, that's how it works" Said Sasuke, then opening the circle. And gave Haku her half of the necklace.
"Well see you" said Sasuke, then rushed into the plane with his accident.
-
"How did you get here!" Said Sakura to Haku. But Haku ignored her and went outside the airport. The only thing on Haku's mind right now is the necklace, and… Sasuke-kun.
- one week later -
Sakura was checking the mail, and there was an mail for Haku. Then she saw the address, it was from Sasuke-kun.
Dear Haku:
I'm doing good here, how are you? Is your mother mean to you? I've really missed you. Well write back, I love you 3
, Uchiha Sasuke
Sakura kept the letter, and she wrote back to Sasuke.
- another week later -
Haku checks the mail, and saw the RE: to Haku.
Sakura:
How did you know my address! Anyways how's Haku? Did you take her letter? But hi to you too.
, Uchiha Sasuke
Haku thought in her mind, when did she have his address? And why is he talking about the letter? What letter?
Then Haku went into her room and searched Sakura's desk, and found 1015 letters from Sasuke to her. It was all of her letters from Sasuke-kun. She was so angry, but she just kept it to herself.
She wrote back to Sasuke-kun for the first time…
-
When Haku go though the agenda, she found out Neji-nii-san's birthday was close. So she prepared an present. Neji's real father, Kitachi's last husband also prepared an present for his son Neji.
"Here, it's nothing much. But you'll need it for sure." said Neji's father.
"…" Neji said nothing but accepted the shoe, and went into the house.
But his mother, kitachi saw the shoe his old husband gave him.
"What is that! Why are you holding it! Why do you want something from HIM?"
"But, he's my father!" Neji said in reply, anger in his eyes as he stared at kitachi. But soon kitachi dragged him from where he was standing, and put him in an private room inside the house.
-
"I need to hurry." said Haku as she run back from school. She was preparing a surprise for Neji, a hot bowl of soup and a scarf she made herself.
Haku entered the house and prepared the surprise, for Neji. She went to the kitchen, and made sure Neji wasn't there. And cooked soup, she added lots of stuff that Neji likes. Things were ready.
"Neji-nii-san!" Haku called out, but he didn't answer, so she looked for him over the house. And she had heard a sound coming from the private room, she opens the door and saw Neji laying on the floor.
Drawing with a stick, Haku laughed, so did Neji. He scratched his head, then got out of the room.
"Noal" said Haku, handing a bowl of soup over to Neji. Then put an warm scarf over Neji's neck. Neji cried, this is the first time someone had been so good to him.
Haku looked surprised, then asked if Neji's okay. But he laughed, and started drinking more of the soup.
Both of them laughed and had a good time together, it's the first time Haku seen Neji's true smile….
