(Sasuke's pov)
When I got home I took off my clothes and showered, looking at the scars on my arms. I took a kunai and checked its sharpness and then reopened the wounds. I grimaced at the pain but wrapped my arms in bandages and went to sleep.
The next morning I woke up and put on my clothes and arm bands. I didn't notice that my bandages were blood soaked and were staining me bands red.
I walked into the training field and Kakashi was there, sitting on a tree stump. I was late. He noticed my arms but didn't say anything. Sakura looked at me with a 'why' kind of look. I just turned my head and smirked.
In training today we were practicing dragon- fire no jutsu. I knew it so I was used as a demonstration. I noticed my armbands were stained then and that my arms hurt when I moved them but I did the hand seal and then blew a gigantic fire ball out of my mouth onto a dirt patch so as not to set anything on fire.
Sakura was able to get it because she had great chakra control but only made a small fireball. Naruto wasted tons of chakra and made a huge fireball but it disappeared in mid air. I was on top of the team but behind my brother, I just knew it.
After training I started home. Sakura grabbed hold of my hand and yanked, turning me around. I stared at her face and noticed she was blushing. "Sasuke-kun, when I first met you I thought you would have had a perfect life because all the girls like you and it wasn't until later when I realized your life was a living hell. I know I've been impatient but I will be patient but please tell me what's going on with the cutting. I'm worried about you." "Don't be." I said. "Sasuke, I…" I looked at Sakura. Her body shook with sobs.
"Look," I said, grabbing her shoulders. I pulled her in close and she wrapped her arms around me. She tried to kiss me but I pushed her back, "not now Sakura." She persisted. "Stay back…" was all I had to say before Sakura's lips met mine. The kiss lasted for only a few seconds before I broke away and ran home.
I still didn't know how I felt about Sakura but I didn't cut myself that night.
More later…
