I decided to quickly finish this fic. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't review!
Four Little Letters
By Mini-Chobi
"Sakura! What on earth are you doing!"
That was the first thing that Tsunade said when she rushed into Sasuke's hospital room.
"I'm saving him! I have to! He's our last Uchiha! He's the only one that would ever make me happy!"
Tsunade slapped her forehead.
"Sasuke was fine!"
Sakura stiffened.
"Was?"
"Yes! Was!" replied Tsunade. "I knew how to treat him! His wounds weren't as serious as the other three, which is why I placed him last on my priority list!"
"D-did...did I help him at all?"
"No," Shizune croaked. "Tsunade will explain."
"The leg wound he has, got infected. I put disinfect on it, but he needed it to heal naturally for him to survive, or else the bacteria would go all around him..." started Tsunade. "Sakura, you closed that wound, didn't you?"
Sakura stood, shocked, green chakra fading from her hands in horror.
I killed him.
"It's happened before," said Shizune, hoping to comfort the poor girl.
"Bway! Bway!" Tonton was thinking along the same lines.
Tsunade and Shizune left to document the four deaths that day, leaving the murderer with the victim. Sakura pulled over a chair and sat in it, shaking.
And she let the tears flow.
He was alright... he was alright! I didn't need to do anything! He was fine! I...
You killed him, bitch!
Shut up, Inner Me.
Dumbass, pick up that letter on the sidetable. Has your name on it.
What?
You heard me. Pick it up.
Sobbing, Sakura did as told. The envelope was light pink, decorated with fans and... cherry blossoms? What? What a strange pair-up of decors.
She removed the letter from the envelope, opened it, and began reading.
Sakura,
Kill Itachi for me. You have to. Believe me. You're the only one I trust you with this important task. Itachi. Must. Die. I don't care if he becomes the last of the Uchiha clan and dies. It's not like he wants to repopulate the clan anyway. I die, Uchiha dies.
I trust you with all my heart, both ways, Sakura. Accomplish my life-ambition for me. Live on without me, but don't forget me, and don't forget to kill Itachi.
Ever.
Both things.
Itachi and me.
You must always remember.
Trusting you with my heart,
Sasuke
Sakura pouted. He went on a life-threatening mission and this is what he wrote? The whole thing was more about Itachi than her. Why didn't he write a letter to Itachi telling him to suicide?
After a moment, Sakura understood. Killing Itachi was the one most important thing in Sasuke's life. The one big highlight. If he handed it over to her... then...
"Sasuke... you loved me?"
Baka.
Shut up.
Of-course he did. Trusting you with my heart, Sasuke. If that didn't mean-
SHUT UP!
Fine.
Sakura sighed. She had killed the person that loved her, and that she loved. How stupid could she get? She should've been more careful, but noooo. She HAD to close that wound, didn't she?
"Forgive me, Sasuke-kun..."
As Sakura sat in the hospital room, crying and contradicting herself, two people dressed in black and red stood outside. Between the fingers of one, there was a note. It said:
Don't die. If you die, Sakura'll forget me. Don't die.
Itachi crumbled the note, dropped it on the ground, and stepped on it. After a moment, he decided to kick it into the gutter for good measure.
"I won't die, little brother. Not yet. Let's go, Kisame."
The other person nodded, and the two nukenin swiftly took off, leaving the pink-haired girl to mourn.
Le finale. Not very final but oh well.
Thank you for reading this fic!
