"Hello, Sasuke-kun." Karin said with a devilish smile. Sasuke mentally slapped himself. Shit, I should have figured this out earlier. At that Sasuke started to float away.
"Oh come on Sasuke-kun," Karin said as she followed him. "Don't tell me, it took you that long to figure this out?" Sasuke just kept on walking.
Got to find Sakura...
With Sakura
"W-Who are you?" I said refering to the ghost infront of me. "I-Itachi?" I nearly choked out the words. The spirit smirked. "Your a pretty one, eh Sakura-chan?" I blushed. "No wonder my little brother likes you." I stared at him in a confused manner.
He chuckled. "You'll find out sooner or later." I glared, I almost forgot about Sasuke's older brother. The brother that had died one year before Sasuke, the one who Sasuke despised...
The one who was standing there before me.
"What do you want?" I said in a somewhat rude manner. He sighed. "Now is that any way to treat the one who's here to tell you Sasuke-kun is in trouble?" I looked at him.
"Ye-- What?" I stood up this time. "Sasuke-kun's in trouble?" He nodded. I pulled his shirt so he was at eye level. "Where is he," I asked, no demanded.
"He's with Karin and--" At that word Karin I had already begun running to where I knew he was. Kuso... I thought as I remembered that Karin was Sasuke's ex-girlfriend. The one who I hated, the one who I knew could, no would do something bad to Sasuke...
The one who could send Sasuke to the next world.
With Sasuke and Karin
"I can't believe," Sasuke said as he turned around to face Karin. "That a bitch like you could pull this off." Karin put her hand to her heart as if she felt offended. "What are you talking about?" She said in a sarcastic tone.
"Why the hell did you kill me?" Sasuke demanded. She merely smirked. "As if you don't know. You liked Sakura, you were even thinking of dumping me. Me, of all people."
She took a step forward. "And we all know that couldn't happen. No one dumps me. Not even for that pink-haired bitch." Sasuke's eyes flared with sharingan.
"Don't," Sasuke said as he appeared slightly behind Karin. "Ever," He said as he performed some hand signs. "Call Sakura, my Sakura. A bitch" At that word he had his chidori sinked into Karin's back.
"Sasuke?" I said as I looked at the two. He stopped. Karin fell to the ground. "What did you do?" I said. "Well," Sasuke ran his fingers through his hair. "Karin..." I gazed over to where Karin layed. "I never knew she was a 'mediator' also" My eyes widened. So she can get rid of Sasuke if she wanted to... "Maybe we should get her to a hospital?"
He thought for a moment. And at the same time we said. "Na"
Sakura's House
"I can't believe," I said as I paced around the room. "That she, she killed you. And for no apparent reason." I never knew of course, that Sasuke had left out that small detail, that could have shed some light on things.
And of course, he wasn't going to, tell me that it was because of me I mean. Sasuke nodded nervously. "Heh heh... yeah..." I stopped pacing and looked at the book he was reading. "Did you figure out anything knew about our little problem?" I sat down beside him.
"Well," He said as he turned the page. "So far we know that mediators are supposed to help the dead right?" I nodded. He pointed to a particular section in the book. "It says here, they can also stop those from dieing." My eyes widened.
"That means I can save you!" He shook his head. "It's more complicated than that. It means traveling through time," I stopped jumping up and down. "So?" He ran his hand through his hair in frustration. "Don't you know? That once you travel through time, I'll hate you again?" I looked at him directly in the eye.
For once I saw an emotion other than hatred and annoyance. There was anger. "Well," I sat back down beside him. "I don't care about that, I'd rather have you alive hating me. Than to die, still hating me." He narrowed his eyes.
"I don't hate you." I looked at him. "Yes, you do. You really, really do. The only reason you hang around with me is to try and live again." I got up. "You just need help, and I'm more than happy to give it."
For a moment there was silence. "But," He also sat up and was now just a few steps away from me. "If you do that, travel through time I mean. You can end up in a coma." I just stared at him. "And not just an ordinary one, you could end up dieing" I could see there was some regret in his voice. "Well, if that means to save you. I'll do it"
For the first time since the Karin incident, he looked right at me. "Your saying. You would die for me?" He shook his head. "Even though I've done nothing than hurt you when I was alive? Are you insane?" I looked at him, my eyes starting to water. It was just too much. I couldn't let Sasuke give up another chance at life.
"The only reason I'm doing this," My voice started to crack. I started to think about what Itachi said earlier, about how Sasuke likes me. And how I highly doubted it."Is because..."
But before I could say it, Itachi showed up. I wiped away some of the tears that were forming. Itachi looked from me to Sasuke.
"What did you do now?" Itachi glared at Sasuke as I continued to wipe away the remaining tears. Why did I cry? It's not like...Oh god. That's when realization hit me. He thought, I would die for him. Because I love him. Sasuke and Itachi held a glaring match.
I sighed. Itachi said I would found out sooner or later... I choose later.
