Chapter 3: Mistake.
Sasuke-kun,
I wish I was able to make you smile but I know that I am only pulling you backwards. When you're gone, I realized that even if you're not beside me I could feel that a part of me will always be with you, like you'll always be with me.
And with just that thought, it made me feel alive.
I love you, Sasuke-kun. I truly love you, no matter what happens.
Haruno Sakura.
-
"I love you, Sasuke-kun!"
"Please…"
When I'm with you
I'll make every second count
cause I miss you, whenever you're not around
The feeling that I still can remember when she hugged me.
When I kiss you
I still get butterflies
years from now.
He pressed on the doorbell with his lips pinned together in a tight nervous line.
I'll make every second count
when I'm with you…
"Sakura." Sasuke said, his voice smooth and calm. "… How do you know my name?" Sakura questioned, her eyes fixed on his starring ones. "Baka." Sasuke replied while stepping into Naruto's apartment and decided to head for the couch. "Where's Naruto?" He added. Sakura baffled orbs starred into his for a while before she answered, " He went out, how do you know so much, are you Naruto-kun's friend?" –
"Almost there." Sasuke answered.
"What do you mean almost there? Why did you catch me?" Sasuke half-smiled but remained silent. He didn't know the reason for his reckless approach towards unconscious Sakura, but he just felt right here. "Chicken! Better tell me, who are you!" Sakura barked at sweat dropped Sasuke, "Chicken?" He questioned, chuckling abit. "Your hair. Humph." –
"Your pink hair. Alien." –
"WHAT! You abusing chicken!" Sasuke chuckled.
"Alien abuse abusing chicken or even men." –
"…"
Blink. Blink.
"…"
"I'm just kidding."
"YOU'RE MEAN. YOU MEANIE CHICKEN." Sakura wailed and sobbed, stopping halfway to catch her breath.
"I'm just kidding, will you stop crying?" Sasuke demanded. His voice a tad irritated.
"I MADE SOME CRABS BUT I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE IT TO YOU, HUMPH." Sasuke sweat dropped.
"You're annoying." –
Sakura stopped crying, only to sob silently. She starred down at her tiny feets with her silky hair overflowing her face, "Sakura?" Sasuke questioned, his voice now smooth and calm.
Sakura sobbed harder and then broke into a cry again, "…I'm sorry." Sasuke apologized, his body slowly shifting nearer towards Sakura. "I don't know why I'm crying," Sakura explained while sobbing. Sasuke froze awhile. "Sakura…" He said, "It hurts, stop it." Sakura cried, her face red and swollen.
-
"I need to talk to you." Sasuke demanded, standing opposite of the serious looking Tsunade. "Has Sakura remembered anything of her father?" Sasuke questioned, "That was what I had been trying to figure out, Sasuke." Tsunade replied. " Is it really permanent?" –
They starred at each other for awhile before Tsunade gasped, "What happened?" She anxiously questioned, "I think unconscious Sakura knows something about the conscious Sakura." Sasuke explained, his eyes glued to the wall. "Unconscious? Conscious?" Tsunade lifted her right eyebrow. "The fake and the real." Sasuke sighed when Tsunade suddenly break into a hard, irritating laughter.
"I didn't know…know that…you make names." Tsunade giggled her sentence through but she put herself up and reconsidered Sasuke's statement. "How could unconscious Sakura knows anything about her past? If she does, she wouldn't be like…this." Tsunade said, her voice shaky as if ready to break into another hard laughter. Sasuke glared at her, "Have you tried talking to her, into her past?" He added. Tsunade looked up to Sasuke, "Not really. I think, she lives happier this way, Sasuke." She said, her voice sounded in pretended unison.
Sasuke remained silent. Of course he knew that… But he was escaping his guilt now, "I think Sakura is still around." Sasuke said, changing the fatal subject. "She is. She is never gone, if you haven't realized." Tsunade smiled a victory smile. "I taught her a technique before she met her accident." She added, "It is a technique to build her physical and mental, but she didn't followed my instructions." Tsunade sighed, "She told me that there was something about it that she realized she had to learn, for her own benefit. I didn't stop her, neither did I thought that it would work, but it did."
"It's a tad like schizophrenia, in a good way. She told me that this helped to build up her inner self. It's alittle like Ino's "hitenshyin" of managing her inner self to do something, but Sakura's one is more professional, she is able to move her own body and her spirit together at a time. I was impressed." Tsunade said, and smiled her victory smile.
"So, from there I think Sakura still have that technique in unconscious Sakura, which means, Sakura might be still conscious just that she is too weak to control over her body, she needs support." Tsunade said, heaving a sigh.
Sasuke starred at her, his face remained unreadable. It made perfect sense to the phenomenon happened after when unconscious Sakura cried over "You're annoying". Sasuke left and went back to his apartment. He hated his apartment now. They smelled unpleasant and everything of it reminded him of unconscious Sakura.
He had no intentions of cleaning up the house but he certainly wouldn't want to sleep in such condition. Dusty and pest alluring.
He sat on his cleaned sofa and read through the letter over and over again, his right hand was clenched in a fist, exposing his stressed white knuckles.

Evening.
"NARUTO-KUN!" Sakura chirped while running through the kitchen. "Sakura-Chan! What's the smell? Smells so good!" Naruto ran towards Sakura and then being dragged by Sakura into the kitchen, "CRABS!" Sakura yelled and smiled. "SAKURA-CHAN! YOU'RE AMAZING! YUM. YUM. CRABS AND RAMEN!" Naruto said, sniffing in as much scent of the delights as possible, as if it would kill his appetite and hunger.
"I bought the ramen though. I thought Naruto would want to eat ramen and my crabs." Sakura said in her chirpy voice before she started getting the pots and bowls of ramen out into the dinning room. "Sakura-Chan… Arigato!" Naruto thanked her, his eyes watery as if about to cry.
"IT TASTES SO GOOD, SAKURA!" –
"HM!" –
"YUM, YUM YUM!" –
Seeeeeeeep!
"HAH. MY CRABMEAT IS BIGGER THEN YOURS." –
"NO! YOU DIDN'T TELL ME YOU'RE COMPETITING. OF COURSE MINE WOULD BE BIGGER." –
"HUMPH, NARUTO YOU MEANIE!" –
"I'm just kidding. You can have my crab." –
Silent.
"Sakura…" Naruto wailed with his puppy dog eyes.
"Humph." –
"Sakura, sakura, sakura, sakura, sakura, sakura-channn" –
"HEHEHEH." –
"YAY. Eat, yum, yum."
Seeeeeeeep!

Sasuke starred in from Naruto's apartment window secretly. His movements were so swift and perfect that not even the slightest sound was made. His eyes were pained as he starred at smiling Sakura.
Maybe things should be better off this way.
"Not really. I think, she lives happier this way, Sasuke." She said, her voice sounded in pretended unison.
Sasuke thought. "Hn." He said, before he turned and in his swift and perfect movement, he left the place.
-
"Sakura-Chan." Naruto questioned, his voice wary. "Are you happy?" Naruto added. "Of course I am, what's wrong, Naruto-kun?" Sakura asked with her baffled looking face. Naruto starred at her blankly with some of his noodles hanging on his mouth. "Haha, no nothing." Naruto lied. "You can't lie." Sakura said, her voice harder, "Say, please?" Sakura pleased.
"No, it's nothing really. I just thought that I wish we'll be together forever." Naruto said, his gaze fixed on his cooled ramen. "Ahaha! Of course we will be, let's eat Naruto-Kun!" Sakura cheered, tapping her fingers on the table. " Hn!" Naruto agreed.

Morning
"SASUKE-KUN!!" Ino shrieked, "I KNEW THAT THE RUMOR IS TRUE!" She added while running towards ignorant Sasuke, "I miss you, Sasuke-kun." Ino said, this time she sounded more sincere. Sasuke starred back at her for awhile, "Hn." He answered and then turned towards the direction to The Hokage's office.
"Sasuke-Kun!" Ino shrieked again when she walked faster to catch up with Sasuke's pace, "You know when you're gone, we misses you so much. And I do too." Ino said, her voice now sounded more seductive then before when Sasuke had left. "Where are you going, Sasuke-kun?" Ino added.
Sasuke didn't bother to reply.
"Good Morning, Sasuke." Tsunade greeted in her low pitch voice. Her eyes were gazing into his, alittle expecting for a reply and then she looked down to the stack of papers lying on her tables. "Since you're back, -Tsunade didn't managed to finish her sentence, "No." Sasuke demanded. Tsunade sighed, "You do know that you had caused a lot of unnecessary trouble, don't you?" Tsunade questioned, her forehead forming crinkles. Sasuke turned to glare at her for awhile, "Silent means consent." Tsunade said.
"I'm expanding my clan." Sasuke said, his voice in dominion. Tsunade raised her right eyebrow, "Uchiha Clan?" She paused awhile before continuing, "You don't even have a partner to do with yet, you shall for the mean time do these tasks first." Tsunade said.
"Ino." Sasuke said, he turned to face her. Ino eyes were wide, and filled with surprised. "Might consider," Sasuke said, his fingertips reaching to her chin and caressing them softly.
