Chapter XI -Runaway Love

Sakura hugged Sasuke tight, with nothing but the motion of crying in his arm listening to his heart steady beat.

"Sasuke stop! I don't want to see you hurt anymore! I'm tired!" she went on, Sasuke put his finger on her lip for her to quiet down.

He stood up, "The moment i saw you, i saw nothing but a girl, i saw another fangirl, another airhead, just a huge shiny forehead. When i met you, i hated you, I hated how you were always the one, even if everyone hated you, you went on, i hated how you tried to understand, but in a way you do" Sakura sat, looking at him, for once, in his emotional eyes, she saw trouble, she saw fear.

Sasuke took her hand and pulled her into his arms, holding her, feeling her soft, sweet smelling hair.

"Sasuke, i care about you more than anyone, and before, this was the last thing i can say, and now i know you, and i want you, i wanna stay like this forever, don't fight anymore, just stay here, with me" Sakura cried, Sasuke let go, and walked to the window and opened it, cooling down by the soft wind that rearranged his hair.

"I can't give up, my brother will always haunt me, I'm sorry, but i have to what i have to do, like it or not" even morte emotion rushed over Sakura.

"SASUKE! JUST STOP IT!... everything is over now, it's over, just, let it go!" Sasuke broke through a layer of the wall, "NO!EVERYTHING IS OVER FOR YOU! your done, you got all the love you can get, but I'm still alone, and that's one thing you can't understand, because you got what you want, and I'm happy for you, but, I'M GONNA KILL HIM!" sharingan took over his eyes, he observed his hand, as if he got a rush of strength, "All my life, I've been searching for a reason...a reason...for me to live, and life put it in my hands to avenge my family, and I haven't been working hard enough"...

Sasuke looked at Sakura, but with that same careless, blood-thirsty look in his eyes, "I've been alone, in pain for so long.." he said, unwrapping a few of his band-aids, "..and whether you like it or not, I'm gonna work hard at what i do, and get what i want".


Sakura layed there, in bed, she didn't want to get up. Too many things were running through her head.

She can't believe what happened yesterday, she thought about Sasuke and her telling eachother they loved eachother, but she couldn't possibly love him could she?

She know she did, but yet, she knew she didn't and she couldn't choose whether she wanted to see him, or pick up the phone and call him.

All kind of things running through her head. The next thing she knew, she was wiping away a tear, how could he go on, after all that worrying she did for so long? she hated him...hated him...

She threw on some clothes, and ran outside not realizing it had to be atleast 3.AM so she went off to the park and left.

She picked up a rose pedal, her mother and her used to collect Sakura and roses and decorate everything with it, she didn't if she was that emotional at the moment or whether she was depressed.

The moon and stars were still out, so it was still really pretty out.

It was pretty weird, for once, no one ran after her, there wasn't any random person coming out of nowhere.

"Hey babe" Sakura sighed, before she could even finish her thought. "Leave me alone" Sakura had to much to worry about than some annoying dude at the park.

"Come on, leave her alone" something was oddly familiar.

Sakura turned around, it seemed to be Orichimaru and what's-his-name and some of his crew.

It took her a minute to realize what kind of trouble she was in, to top off her day.

Next thing she next she was on the ground, her clothes were getting ripped off and so far it was part of her shirt and her jacket, there was a glass bottle next to her, she thought about it for a second, she couldn't.

Five minutes later, they are still messing with her, no Sasuke yet, alittle later, no Sasuke. It was that or nothing, the next guy to mess with her was some ugly dude. One with blood, lots of blood, the bottle made it's way to hitting him, she must of hit a vital spot because she couldn't tell if he was dead or not.

She knew she was in trouble, so she ran and ran, none of them ran after her, their concern was on their gang member.

She had to atleast ran a mile by now, she stopped, and took a breat, she couldn't tell, did she murder him?

She kept going, by time she stopped the sun was coming up, and she ran some good miles. She was so tired, luckily, she had 50 dollars on her.

Some one could've found out by then, she wasn't sure if she was going to get in trouble for that, but she was scared, she never wanted to hurt anyone.

Sitting down in thought, everything suddenly went black, and comfortable.

She woke up, she was in a church or something."A-Are you alright? I found you in the field, it's not safe to be to be out there" she handed Sakura a cup of green tea.

"You can't stay out here, do you want to call some one, I know you want to go to your nice home. "I don't have a home" Sakura sipped the tea.

"Oh, I trully feel for you, can i get a name? I'm Lei" Sakura continued sipping on the tea, "Sakura is my name" Lei smiled, "That's a nice name, well you might wanna get some rest now" Before she could finsish, Sakura did notice how tired she was, it was night again too. So Sakura went off to sleep.

She woke up around 2 o'clock and got dressedin the clothes Lei left her, Sakura realized she had been gone for a day so some one should be worrying, but she can't go home now.

She left a note, and left. She went to go buy alittle something with the money she had, since she hadn't ate in a day and a half. There was alittle TV going, It showed a list of missing people, Sakura didn't get to see if her name was on there before running off again.

She wanted to cry but it was also funny in a way that you woudn't want to laugh. Two days before she was said about Sasuke going off, and now look at her, she ran away like an idiot and everyone must be worried sick.

Sakura thought, she knows she can't run forever, she has to call some one who she can trust but won't take her straight home. Nt that she's worried about geting in trouble now, she's way ast that.

'Dumb me, all i ever do is cause problems, i must make it hard on everyone' at the oint where she was convincing herself she didn't know if she ever wanted to go home, it was too late for her to just o home an act like nothing ever happened.

"Naruto, he should be able to help me out" She brgan off out to town now that she gotten so far.

"That looks like that dumb bitch, funny meeting again, there's no where to run" that was K cicled Sabuto's voice, he semed pretty pissed about the dude before."Let's just kill her already.

They circled Sakura, with all kind of weaponw, at that time she was by some wter not sure where she was. That water might ave been a little deep but it was enough to getaway.

He knocked her into the water but held her legs so she couldn't swim away or bring her head up, another guy go in a lesse deep part, and brought her head up, not even enough time to get some air, then dunked it back down and held it down this time.

Sakura tried to squirm out but she was getting weaker, it was all her fault anyway, she shouldn't of ever got i Sasuke's way, and get in an argument to try to so him from something he was destined to do,she shouldn't have left the house.

"Am I? I'm..I'm going to...d.." Everything blurred, and moved slowly, she could hear the lauhters of the crew, but everything seemed loke god put life on slow motion mode, then everything went dark.

It was nothing but dark until Sakura found herself in a field, she camouflaged in with the sakura an other mix of flowers.

There was alittle town, so she got u and ran towards it, "MOMMY! DADDY! ITACHI! GUESS WHAT!?!!" alittle boy ran up to the house, then stopped, Sakura could see the dark aura surrounding, the boy must have felt it too.

Slowly he walked int the door, Sakura followed him, silently noticing that no one could see her there. There was a scream, Sakura ran in to see tw dead people laying on the floor, the boy ran for his life. Until he was stopped by -"Itachi" Sakura murmered, the boy cried for his life, Itachi said something that Sakura didn't quite hear, but somehow knew exactly what he said. Then the scene changed up.

This time it showed little Sakura, "HAHA! YOU HAVE A BIG FOREHEAD! HAHAHAHA!" Sakura sobbed screaming at them to stop but they laighed more. So she grabbed her things and ran.

Sakura went after her, somehow she grabbed her arm and her mini-me stopped and stared at her in tears, "WHAT DO YOU WANT! LEAVE ME ALONE IF YOUR GOING TO MAKE FUN OF ME" Sakura pulled her forward and hugged her.

"You can't run forever, like I did" the girl stopped crying and looked up at the mysterious women who looked like her, "Trust me, I tried, it won't do anything, life is painful if you make it painful, trust me, you are better off without them, just let your gaurd down, and relax" the girl smiled, then the scene changed again.

It went back to a familiar place, it was the classroom, then some one stood there.

"You have to choices" Sakura looked around, she knew better than to ask what was going on, this is like her third scene now, but something seemed too different qbout this scene, there was a real bad aura about it, not about the place itself, it's just she had a bad feeling about being there.

"You might be here for a while, or for a long time" he started, "what are my choices?" Sakura rudely interrupted. He just simply stood there, he wasn't the most joyful thing to look at. He was real pale, and had eyes like ice.

"You have one more chance, you can go somewhere, where yo don't have to put up with all-" Sakura interrupted again, "Look, I'm sorry, but i just wanna go home" the man cocked an eyebrow, "then why are you here?"


Sakura sat up in her bed, "What the- wait where was that going?" Sasuke walked in with Naruto, Sasuke seemed to be able to keep a straight face somehow, Naruto just turned his head and walked out.

"Where were you? so yiu were really that mad at me?" Sakura shook her head, "No, it's just-are you mad at me?" Sasuke did a half smile, "Why would i be?" he said in voice that you couldn't really tell if he was sarcastic or not.

"What's wrong with Naruto? and where's everyone else?" Sakura said, she was getting kind of irritated with that half-sarcasted look on his face, "He was just worried, we're the only two who know your here" Sakura had enough, she feeling as if she was being deceived by a four year old, although it wass kind of relaxing to know that she didnt have a crowd of people on the other side of the door.

"So, why are you perfectly fine?" Sasuke just stood there, now he grew alittle pale, and just turned his head, his eyes had an block that shown what he was really thinking.

Sakura got out of the bed and stood in face and looked him in the ice, but he still had that block up in his eyes, then he turned around.

"So, I was right, you don't give a damn, about any one who isn't you" Sasuke didn't say anything. "I'm out, you should thank Naruto, he was the one who found you" Sasuke walked out coldly.

Sakura walked in the living room and sat down on the couch, there was a fresh cup of tea and a bowl of ramen waiting for her. "Alrigatou" Naruto came over and sat by her. "Don't mind him, he fought almost the whole town to find you, he was worried sick, and he took it the worst when he found out you was gone for so long" Naruto slurped up some of the noodles.

"He said you found me and you was worried sick". Naruto smiled, "That's true, but if you noticed, he was wearing a sweater, as much as i hate him, I'll admit this" Sakura looked confused, "A sweater? so?" Naruto opened the window, "It's 70 degrees outside" he then walked to a drawer and pulled out a knife, Sakura seen that knife before, "He got stabbed and cuts on his arms, his back, and he even had one on his face".

"' "So, why are you perfectly fine?" Sasuke just stood there, now he grew alittle pale, and just turned his head, his eyes had an block that shown what he was really thinking.' "

"Oh" Naruto put the blade back, "It was just out of that bastard nature to show emotion, dumb bastard" Sakura sat down thinking, this could really be a sadness and sorrow moment.

"S-Sasuke" Sakura was speechless, everything was her fault, all from the beginning.
