Here's my first-chapter! R&R! Enjoy!
Stay With Me
Chapter One: Sakura
Five years later, and he still missed her. When he left he never imagined that he would miss her. The more days that came and went the worse it got. Often it was just little things of her he missed. That smile that was only meant for him and how hard she pushed herself to show him she wasn't weak. He would think of these things without himself even realizing it.
The way she smelled, he light touch, her bright emerald green eyes, and her light pink hair. All these things would haunt him every night as he lay on his bed exhausted from his training. He always fell asleep thinking of her.
He would dream of her, Konoha village and everything that he had left behind. He would think of team seven and how much they must have changed and gotten stronger over these five years. He wondered if he would ever see them again... especially Sakura...
All though he would deny it deep inside his heart he had feelings for his old pink haired teammate but he had to keep these feelings hidden even form himself to grantee her safety. He had to first kill Orochimaru and his bastard brother until he could be with her.
Lately, Sasuke found himself whispering her name to himself without noticing, when he saw something that reminded him of her. Unfortunately Orochimaru had taken notice; he didn't know the name of the pink haired girl who was on Sasuke's team in the forest of death during the chunin exams. However Kabuto did.
Orochimaru had been complaining that Sasuke was not learning as fast he should be. He was eager enough, but there appeared to be a small block that stopped him from reaching his full potential.
"He's willing to do anything to kill his brother, why is he not doing better?" Orochimaru said annoyed.
"Perhaps he just needs a little…motivation." Kabuto suggested, his glasses flashing to hide his eyes. Orochimaru looked at him, and raised an eyebrow at him telling him to continue. "The girl he calls for…Sakura. She used to be one of his teammates. Perhaps she could be used to persuade…him?" he suggested. Orochimaru smirked.
"Yes…I remember now… make it happen." He told him.
Five years later, and she had changed. Since he had left she stopped smiling becoming cold and distant to everyone. She spent most of her time at the hospital and training with Tsunade. She almost never spent time with her friends anymore; she simply brushed them off saying she was busy.
She tried not to think of him since it only caused her pain. But no matter how hard she tried, she somehow always found herself thinking of him especially at night when she was alone laying on her bed after coming home for the hospital. She had many guys ask her out on dates but she never accepted she just wasn't ready to forget him deep inside her heart she hoped for his return.
Almost all of her friends now were dating which was a big part of why she just didn't want to spend much time with her friends anymore. Ino and Shikamaru had been together for 3 years now, Tenten and Neji for about 2 years, even Naruto and Hinata finally just got together a few months ago. Just being around them made her few incredibly lonely and depressed which she didn't want. So she figured if she just stopped being around them then maybe it would help her forget about him. But she was just lying to herself she could never forget about him her first and probably only love in her life.
Today she was on her way to visit Ino. They had become best friends again when Ino started to date Shikamaru.
"About time you got here Forehead girl." Ino complained opening her door.
"Shut up Ino-pig it was busy at the hospital." Sakura explained.
"Yeah yea just come in will you." Ino instructed stepping back to let Sakura inside. Sakura walked in and sat down in the living room while Ino went and prepared their tea.
"So it was busy at the hospital huh?" Ino asked as she came into the dining room with there tea and sat down across from her.
"Aa." She replied then taken a sip of her tea. Ino's eyes narrowed 'just like Sasuke'
"I have some news." Ino told her.
"Oh" Sakura replied. Ino started to shift nervously and her cheeks turned red.
"Sakura…I'm engaged." Ino exclaimed showing her the ring on her figure. It was a beautiful silver ring surrounded by silver flowers.
"Congratulations, I knew you'd be the first to get married." Sakura said smiling. But it was fake.
"Sakura…I want you to be my maid of honor" Ino Said.
"Sure Ino whatever you want." Sakura replied again with a fake smile which Ino caught this time.
"Sakura…you still think of him don't you?" Ino asked watching Sakura intently. Sakura was taken back by the question she quickly looked up from her tea cup that she was staring at and looked at Ino.
"Aa." She replied and returned to looking at her empty cup.
"Why? There are plenty of guys worth more of your time and who want to go out with you why are you wasting your time waiting for him when he might not even come back?" Ino asked.
"hn." was all Ino got from Sakura.
"You still love him…don't you?" Ino asked. Sakura didn't answer or even look up from the tea cup.
"Sakura stop this...were all worried about you…w-we want to help you." Ino told her.
"Help? ... I never asked for any of your help so stop worrying about me." Sakura snapped who was now glaring at Ino.
"How can we, when you act like this and won't tell us anything ever since he left you've been cold and never smile." Ino shot back.
"Ino I've changed and there's nothing you or anyone can do about it… so just leave me alone." Sakura told her and walked towards the door she was about to open the door when Ino spoke again.
"Sakura… at least tell me do you still love him anymore…?" Sakura turned her head to Ino's direction.
"I don't even know myself." She replied and walked out of the house leaving Ino alone.
It was about midnight when Sakura had left Ino's and some how she couldn't get her words out of her head 'do you still love him anymore?' she had been thinking about what Ino asked her so much that she hadn't noticed she'd walked to where she had last seen Sasuke 'the bench' she stared at it for a moment and then looked at the sky 'why do you still dominate my thoughts Sasuke…'
Suddenly she head rustling from some nearby bushes. Sakura quickly whipped out a kunai from her holster. "Who's there?" She spoke scanning the area around her until she froze upon feeling cold metal pressed against her throat.
"You look different from the last time I saw you…Sakura." An evil voice came from behind her.
"Kabuto, I'm not that weak little girl I was five years ago." She said and Kabuto felt cold metal against his own neck.
"So I see, this ones just a clone then huh?" he said slicing the neck of the clone and it disappeared. Suddenly three kabuto clones ran at Sakura but she threw two kunai at two of them making them disappear and then kicked the other towards the real Kabuto sending him flying and the clone disappeared leaving only the real Kabuto. Sakura took out four kunai two in each hand and threw them at Kabuto two hit his left arm and one in his leg while the fourth missed and flew over his shoulder.
"You have made an improvement Sakura; I guess I shall have to go harder on you." He said taking out three Senbon aiming them at her.
"Senbon you can't touch me with that." Sakura told him. He smirked shooting them at her which she dodged easily. Before she knew what was happening, Kabuto had thrown another kunai in her direction. She managed to doge it but didn't expect there to be a senbon in the shadow of the kunai. The senbon grazed her neck and already she felt its affects, as her eyelids grew heavy and she slipped into darkness.
Kabuto returned a little bruised and bloody but besides that fine. Orochimaru raised an eyebrow at the evidence of what must have been a battle. "Was she accompanied? I didn't think you would be that carless."
Kabuto shook his head. "She was alone Orochimaru."
"So she is strong then. Perhaps she can be more useful then we thought." He said
"Yes well… I'm afraid not at the moment, I had to subdue her." Kabuto informed him.
"I don't think Sasuke well be too happy about that…" he said looking the girl over. "I can see why he likes this one however; she is quite a pretty one…" He concluded.
