Chapter Twenty Three
The curse activated
Ino, Sakura, and Sasuke headed to Science. Kurenai assigned pages for a test next week.
Ino and Sakrua wrote down lots of notes, and studied them. "Okay Ino. Your turn. How many seismic waves are there? And, what are they called." Sakrua asked.
"Um...three. And they are called...Primary...Secondary..and..." Ino said. Sakura nodded. "Uh..hm...dam it..uh...land wave or something?" Ino guessed. "Nope. Surface." Sakrua said.
Ino nodded. "Okay. I will remember that." she said. Sasuke watched the two girls study. "What the hell should I get for Sakura..." Sasuke said to himself. Christmas was in about 2 weeks.
The bell rang, and everyone went outside. To their suprise, it was snowing.
Sasuke looked up. He loved the snow. Winter was his favourite season. Sakura smiled. "Wow..so beautiful.." she said looking into the distance. The mountains were already covered in snow.
"Neji, your eyes match the snow." Tenten said giggling. Neji sighed. "Your so childish Tenten." he said.
"Childish? Im sooo not childish! Who ever said I was? Other than you.." Tenten said folding her arms.
What the hell does she like that I can give her...she likes sports..and its snowing...hm...
Neji knew what to get her. "Sakura, wanna take a walk?" Sasuke asked. Sakrua smiled, and nodded. She wrapped her arms around Sasuke's left arm.
The snow that fell on Sakura's hair, made her look like an angel to Sasuke.
flashback
"Itachi! Its snowing!" Sasuke said. Itachi looked out the window, and it was snowing.
The Uchiha brothers ran outside, and started to make a snowman.
Sasuke was 5 at the time, and needed a lot of help.
Itachi lifted up the chubby boy, to put the carrot for the nose. Sasuke smiled at his masterpeice. Itachi rolled his eyes. "I basically made it all." he said.
"Hey Itachi! Lets go show mommy what we made." Sasuke said. Itachi came back with both of their parents.
Sasuke made a snow angel in the snow. His mom smiled, and helped Sauske up. His hair was covered in snow.
end of flash back
Just like now. He shook off the snow, and it landed on Sakura's face. "Uchiha Sasuke! Aere you starting a snow ball fight!" Sakura said.
Sasuke smirked, and made a snowball. He turned around to Sakura, but got hit in the shoulder by her. He held his left shoulder. "Sasuke? Whats wrong?" she asked. He fell to his knees.
Flashback
"Itachi! Whats going on!" little Sasuke yelled. The bodies of the Uchiha clan lay lifeless on the ground.
Itachi panicked. He knelt down beside his little brother and smiled. "Don't worry Sasuke. I will be right back okay?" Itachi said.
Sasuke shook his head. "I know what your trying to do! Im coming with you!" Sasuke said sternly. Itachi sighed. "Fine. Lets go." Itachi said. The two brothers ran to their house.
The ran through the doors, and saw the bodies of their parents on the cold floor. The killer looked into Sasuke's eyes.
Sasuke started shaking. Itachi looked down at his brother. "Sasuke!"
Purple lights surrounded Sasuke. He screamed in pain. "NI SAN!" he yelled.
Itachi didnt know what to do. He looked down. There was writing under Sasuke's feet.
Of the pink cherry blossom trees of Konoha, with the green eyes of lilly pads, will this Uchiha marry. The begininning is S, and the last is H. If not these two be wed, consequences of death, will be made...
The killer smirked evily, and left the Uchiha brothers. Sasuke fell unconcious to the ground. Itachi knelt down beside Sasuke. On his left shoulder, was a three comma mark, burning. Itachi looked down again. The words faided.
"Pink cherry blossom...green eyes...Sasuke has to marry her..." Itachi muttered.
Itachi looked outside the window. The December snow fell. He saw the figure of the killer on the window sill. "The curse...will activate on this day..." he muttered. 2 weeks before christmas had Sasuke gotton the curse.
end of flashback
"SASUKE! ANSWER ME!" Sakura yelled. Sauske gasped for air. "Sasuke! Whats wrong!" Sakrua yelled. She gasped. A mark revealed on his shoulder.
FLASHBACK
"Well...when I was 7, my parents died. Some one very powerful...made a curse. Me and Itachi came in the house, and there was a blue light surrounding my parent's body. The man that killed them, looked into my eyes. He had purple/black eyes. He cursed me..."
end of flashback
"Could this be..." she muttered. Sasuke yelled in pain. The gang ran over. "Sasuke! Shit! Neji, Shikamaru, help me get him out of here!" Naruto yelled. "No! Sasuke! Whats wrong with him! Is it.." Sakura asked Shikamaru. Shikamaru nodded.
Sasuke yelled again, clutching his shoulder. Neji and Naruto helped Sasuke up, and brought him to the forest, not to cause comotion.
Sasuke's mark turned red/orange, like fire. He pulled down the part of his shirt around the mark, down. He screamed again. He fell to his knees. The mark turned black, and Sasuke calmed down a bit.
"Shit...you okay Sasuke?" Naruto asked, wiping the sweat from his forehead. Sasuke nodded, breathing heavily. Sakura ran to the guys. The girls stayed out, wondering what was wrong with Sasuke.
"Neji! How is he?" Sakura asked. "He will be fine.." Neji said. Sakura held his hand. "Sasuke..." Sakura mutterd. Sasuke was on the ground, one hand on the tree. (a/n: like when Kakashi had the bell test, and used a genjutsu on Sakura, and she saw Sasuke like "dying", but with no weapons in him...just go here, and you will see: http/ (copy and paste)
"Sakura..." Sasuke muttered looking up at her. Sakura touched his cold face. "Sasuke...what is this?" Sakura asked. "Sasuke's curse.." Shikamaru said. Sakura looked down. "Why did it...like activate?" Sakura asked. "Sasuke's parents...died on this day.." Naruto said. Sakura looked at Sasuke. His bangs covered his eyes.
"So thats why I never saw it before.." Sakura said. Sakura felt Sasuke's hand on her arm. "Sakura...I can't wait until the last mintue on my birthday..we need to talk.." Sasuke said. Shikamaru looked at Neji, and Naruto, and nodded. The three guys left Sakura and Sasuke.
"Sasuke..what are we going to do..." Sakura said. Sasuke sat down. "I dont know..." he muttered. "Hm...what if...is there any way to break this prophacy?" Sakura asked.
Sasuke shrugged. Sakura sat down as well. "Well..we should try it...?" she said. Sasuke looked at Sakura. Better taking a chance than to lose her...
"The problem is...where would he be? I never saw his face...only his eyes were like purple.." Sasuke said.
Sakura put her tapped her finger on her chin. "Hm...well...doesnt your brother know?" Sakura asked. Sasuke shrugged. "Your no help Sasuke! We should go see him after school." Sakura said standing up. Sasuke nodded.
OUTSIDE OF THE FOREST
"Shikamaru? What was wrong with Sasuke?" Ino asked. (the girls other than Sakura didnt see the mark)
"He..just got hurt.." Shikamaru said. "How?" Tenten asked. "Well...Sakura through a snowball at Sasuke...and um..there was a rock in it!" Naruto said. Ino rolled her eyes.
"He was screaming madly because a rock?" she asked. "Uh..yeah..Sakura throws hard you know." Naruto said.
The girls knew there was more behind the story, but they just left it, at Naruto's little story.
School ended, and Sasuke and Sakura ran to his house. The first Sakura saw when she got in the house, was Marshmallow.
"Wow! Your getting big Marshmallow." Sakura said petting his head. Sasuke looked down at the two. Marshmallow was licking her face. Sakura giggled. Sasuke smirked.
"You two are quite the pair." he said. Sakura stood up with Marshmallow in her arms. "Lets go find your brother." Sakura said. Sasuke nodded. The two of them, and Marshmallow entered his room. He was sitting in his desk, with a lot of papers around him. "Itachi? What are you doing?" Sasuke asked. Itachi looked behind him. "Oh..hi you guys. Im just doing some work. What do you need?" he asked.
"Well...me and Sasuke were wondering if..." Sakura started, then looked at Sasuke for help. "Do you know anything about..the killer.." Sasuke said. Itachi shook his head. Sakura and Sasuke sighed. "But...I know his name starts with...I think Oro something.." Itachi said. Sasuke and Sakura looked up. "Oro something eh? Hm.." Sasuke said. "What is it Sasuke?" Sakura asked him. "Im just trying to think..what ever..Im going to leave it write now. I gotta go do something.." Sasuke said, thinking about Christmas.
"Okay. I will just..uh.. leave. See ya." Sakura said putting Marshmallow down. "Sakura...do you wanna stay over?" Sasuke asked. Sakura shook her head. "No thanks. Ill see you tomorrow." she said, giving a kiss on the cheek to Sasuke. Sakura waved good bye, and left.
"Why did you want to know the killer's name?" Itachi asked. "To find him, and kill him." Sasuke said.
Sakura opened the door of the mansion, and stepped outside. It was still sunny out. Only 4:00pm. She unlocked the door of her house, and walked in. She spotted Snowflake on the couch. "Hi Snowflake. Your such a good kitty. Yes you are. What a good kitty." Sakura said, Snowflake on her lap, and petting her. Sakura left the door open, because her house was warm, and it was a sunny day.
"You are one strange person." a voice said. Sakura looked at the door way. Gaara was leaning against the open door, hands in his pockets, smirking.
Sakura stood up. "You know, its rude to lean on my door way, and just staring at me!" she said. Gaara looked around her house.
"Hello? Can I help you?" Sakura said waving her hand in front of his face. "I...was planning to..uh...Megami.." he said. Sakura smiled. "Sure! Lets go!" Sakura said.
"I saw her at the ramen bar." Gaara said. Sakura and Gaara saw Megami eating at the ramen bar like Gaara said.
"Great! Now go over there, and like start a conversation." Sakura said. "Wha? I dont know how.." Gaara said. "Hm..just say hi, and she will say hi. Then say like is this seat taken, and she will say no. Blah blah. GO!" Sakura said. She pushed Gaara forward, and ran to a table to spy on them.
"H..hi.." Gaara said. Megami nodded. "Hi." she said. Gaara looked at the empty seat. "Is..t..this seat taken?" he asked. Sakura smiled, from behind her menu.
"Oh..yeah it is..sorry.." Megami said. Gaara turned around. "Oh..sorry..later.." he said, and left the ramen bar. Sakura watched Gaara leave. "Gaara.." she muttered. She left her table, and walked up to Megami.
"Hi Megami! I heard you say this seat was taken. Who the hell is sitting here?" Sakura asked. "My boyfriend. He just went to the washroom." Megami said. "Oh..sorry..okay, bye.." Sakura said.
She decided to walk home. "Poor Gaara..." Sakura said. She walked to her bedroom, and sat down beside the window.
"Maybe I should call him.." she said. Sakura went to her desk, and searched for her phone book. She found Temari's number.
She dialed the number, and Temari picked up. "Hi Temari. Its Sakura, how are you? "Oh, hey Sakura! Im good. But..do you know whats wrong with Gaara? He seems...sad.." Temari said. "Oh..well thats why I called. Can I talk to him?" Sakura asked. "Sure. GAARA! GET YOUR BUTT OVER HERE!" Temari yelled.
Sakura blinked. "Right..oh hi Gaara. Are you okay?" Sakura asked. "Yeah..I know she has a boyfriend..why does it hurt?" Gaara asked. Sakura looked down at her feet, and fiddled with the cord of the phone. "Oh Gaara...Im sorry..you really liked her, that now..it hurts..Im so sorry.." Sakura said.
"Not your fault Sakura. Im fine. Bye." Gaara said. "Okay...bye.." Sakura said. She slowly put her phone down, and lay on her bed. "It just takes time..." she said to her self.
DING DONG
Sakura ran downstairs to see who it was. When she opened the door, she saw the newspaper on the ground.
"Hm..whats good.." she said flipping through the pages.
