CHAPTER TWO: FLOWER DROPLETS

As the morning comes the raven haired boy bid his goodbye to the pink haired medic nin. He gently kissed her forehead and gave her hand a one last squeeze and he went of towards the Uchiha minor. Sasuke packed the things he need as fast as he could to start the journey immediately. He slowly stepped out of his house as the sun had already risen and that warmth touches his face. He went towards the Hokage's office and once he arrived Tsunade let him in.

"You are already here Sasuke?" Tsunade asked him. She was thinking he will stay a bit long with her apprentice but it seems like he really was so determined to find the flower. "Hai… I need to find that plant you are talking about before time runs out." Sasuke said strongly to her.

"Alright, the flower I'm talking about is called the 'Flower Droplets'. It was named like that because it looks like tear drops and was attached to each other to form a heart. The flower is well known to cure the deadliest poison anyone had ever made but I don't know how to get it. Many people say that it has some magic guarding it but I don't know anything of that sort. The information for the said flower is low. Luckily it is said to be found in the west side of Konoha forest which I know is not far from here." Tsunade explained.

"I'll find that flower no matter what. Tsunade-sama, can I have a picture of how it looks like?" Sasuke asked.

"Here is the picture of the plant. I wish you the best of luck and I believe you'll try everything to save Sakura." Tsunade said to him. Sasuke nod for respect and went out towards his destination.

As he trailed out he saw a place which made his body weakened a bit. It was a park full of flowers that made him remember her. The petals swayed in the wind and with that Sasuke felt her presence. He felt that Sakura believed in him to find the medicine needed for her to live. This made him feel more determined and caught one sakura flower and put it safely in his pocket.

Sasuke arrived at the place the Hokage talked about. He started searching everywhere. From here to there. Every place he could think of. Hour per hour has passed and he still didn't catch a glimpse of the flower. He was pushing himself to the limit not even resting for a minute. All the things in his mind are gone and only one thing remain the name 'Sakura'. The sun set slowly and for the first time since he arrived he decided to stop. He just ate a little bit of his food and let his mind wander of. He can't sleep… that is for sure. 'You must take a rest.' his inner self suggested. 'I can't …she is always in my mind and if I can't find that droplet soon she might die!' Sasuke answered. 'But you'll be the one going to die if you keep this up!' his inner self said. 'Then…I'll die trying. It is better if I'm the one dying and not her!' he said strongly. 'Man…you really know how to love now. Alright we'll try our best to save her.' his inner self said and was just answered by silence.

Days have passed and two days is only left before the said date would come. If you look at the Uchiha he is completely different. His face is sulkier due to lack of sleep and the bags in his eyes are bigger. He was also becoming more and more desperate to find the 'Flower Droplets'. His strong hope is slowly fading and was now entering a state of panic.

Sasuke was now walking in a new place where he found a large crystal rock. He approached the rock and once he entered it his surroundings changed. Sasuke was now surrounded by cherry blossoms tree. He slowly sat down beside the rock and looked around. He then pulled the flower he got before going to this forest. The flower is already dry which made him think of Sakura, his teammate, his friend, and his most treasured person in his heart. The sakura petals that are now encircling him made it much worse. 'I can't find it… Sakura please help me…' he thought.

Every sway of the flowers made him fall into deeper sadness. Even if he said he'll never cry a single tear still managed to go out of his handsome features. That said tear fell down in the crystal rock that made it glow and the flower he was searching is slowly emerging. He immediately touched its trunk to pick it when a poem flashed in his mind. It read:

You're tears of love is true

But a trial you must faced through

This flower will save her life

But her memories about you might fade

Will you face that trial and make her fall for you again

or accept the fact she'll die with you still in her soul and mind…

What is your choice?

Will you make the right one tells me now…

"Whatever that trial is… I'm going to faced it just so she'll live. Just never let her leave me forever." Sasuke answered with determination and heard a reply…'if that is what you want. I hope you made the right choice'. With that Sasuke pulled the flower and out of exhaustion he passed out but the flower was grasp tightly by him.

Naruto heard from Tsunade that Sasuke left to find the cure for Sakura. And as if by instincts he decided that he must go to that place now. So he run towards the forest and saw the glimpse of Sasuke. He went next to him. "Teme! Are you alright?" Naruto asked. But Sasuke didn't reply and said only one word, a name, which made Naruto smiled a bit. That word is…Sakura. "Hehe… the teme really changed. I never thought he'll love Sakura this much. Well we better hurry. Once you wake up you owe me for carrying you." Naruto said and picked up the Uchiha whose hands is still clasped towards the flower he just got. Naruto took Sasuke and the flower towards the Hokage's office.

Once their Tsunade immediately went to tend Sasuke and got the flower which he really doesn't want to let go. "Sasuke… Sasuke… please let go of the flower I need to make the medicine as soon as possible." Tsunade said waking the sleeping boy. In return he just moved slightly but didn't even open his eyes. This made Naruto a little angry and he can't take it anymore so he bent towards his ears and screamed… "SASUKE-TEME, WAKE UP ALREADY! WE NEED THAT FLOWER NOW!"

That scream made Sasuke jerk up. He then punched Naruto's head that made him knocked out. "Stupid, dobe… to loud…" Sasuke muttered. "Hey why did you do that for?" Naruto asked rubbing his bump in the head. "It is because you are loud, obnoxious dobe!" Sasuke said angrily. "Hey… you are so ungrateful bastard. I'm the one who found you out cold. Besides we need that flower and you won't let go of it." Naruto said.

"Aa… oh yeah. Tsunade-sama here is the flower droplet" Sasuke said and handed the Hokage the flower. Tsunade got the plant and went in working for the medicine. Once she is done, the three of them was about to go to the hospital when Sasuke stop them…

"Tsunade-sama, I need to talk to you for a while before we go to the hospital. I just need to clear this out." Sasuke asked. Tsunade just nod and left Naruto out. The two talked inside the office seriously and once they are done… The three of them head towards the hospital to cure their beloved cherry blossom…
