Hey everyone, it's me again! Thanks to everyone that commented and left me positive feedback. You guys are the best! First person to comment on this chapter will get a special shout out from the one and only, Me!
Did anyone figure out who yelled at Sakura? Find out now!
Ok, here's the next chapter of From Dark To Light.
*DISCLAIMER* I do NOT own any part of Naruto!
Previously on From Dark To Light:
I heard them to my right, so I put my hand on the wall to use as a guide and followed them. A minute later, their voices became distant. Crap! I'm falling behind. I kept my hand on the wall but quickened my pace. Suddenly, I rammed right into someone and fell straight on my ass.
"Watch where you're going you pink-haired bitch!"
Sasuke's POV:
I was walking next to Naruto and Hinata down the empty hall as Sakura trailed behind us. I suddenly realized I forgot something in my locker for the next class. "Guys, I've gotta swing by my locker, I'll meet you there." The two of them nodded as they grabbed each others hands and kept walking. I got to my locker and realized that Sakura never passed me when she was going to the garden. When I turned around, she was right there, on the floor, with my least favorite person looking down at her.
"Watch where you're going you pink-haired bitch!" I heard Karin; the ugly, red-headed whore yell. I knew as soon as she said pink hair she was talking about Sakura.
Hm she should pay attention more. If she did, she wouldn't be in this situation.
"Sasuke, you need to be…..warmer." Said my inner.
Warmer?
"As in, not so cold. Make a friend for once. I know you find her interesting,"the inner replied.
Hm, whatever.
I watched as she pulled her arm back, ready to hit Sakura, who was flat on her ass. I just stared at them, wondering what Sakura would do. What surprised me was that she didn't do anything. She was staring up at Karin with a straight face, not even flinching at the sight of the monstrous rage that Karin had clearly written on her face. Finally, she released her arm and swung at a defenseless Sakura. Suddenly, a blur came across Karin and she froze. Someone was holding the arm she was about to hit Sakura with.
"How dare you try and lay a finger on my Sakura." the man said with venom dripping off each word. His Sakura? He threw her arm down which caused her to stumble back a few steps. "It's not my fault!" said Karin, "She rammed into ME!" The man only shook his head, released Karin who started running in the opposite direction of me, and knelt down in front of Sakura, with his back to me.
"Sota?" I heard Sakura ask as I began walking towards the two. "You lied Cherry." I could tell by her facial expression that she was confused. "I lied to you? When?"
Before he could answer her, I spoke out in an even tone, "Sakura, you alright?" She kept staring at the man she called Sota when she answered me, "Yeah, why wouldn't I be. It was an accident after all." I just looked at her. Any other girl would be trembling in fear at the thought of being at the other end of Karin's rage, and here she thought it was a stupid accident.
"Sakura, who's this." he asked referring to me. She didn't answer.
I watched as Sota leaned in and whispered something in Sakura's ear. I stood there looking at the two. A look of uncertainty flashed on Sakura's face before she nodded. After he finished telling her what he needed to say, he grabbed her hand and helped her up. All of a sudden, Sakura spoke bluntly. "Fine, I'll tell him. And why are you here again?" Sota fumbled through one of the many pockets on his backpack when he found what he was looking for. "You lied Cherry, you didn't have everything this morning." He reached for her hand and placed black glasses into her hand.
Sakura's POV:
"Thanks." I hung my glasses by the leg on the front of my shirt. "And this is Sasuke, my friend…I think." I waited for Sota to say something but Sasuke beat him to it. "Sasuke Uchiha and yea, I'm a friend." I knew by the silence between the two males that Sota was looking him up and down, he had entered "Protective Older Brother" mode. "I'm Sota Takahashi, Sakura's legal guardian and best friend." I was surprised to hear Sota reply because that meant two things. 1st He approved of Sasuke and 2nd (being the gay guy that he was) Sasuke was probably hot.
"Hm" I heard Sasuke say. I guess he's not much of a talker after all….. "Sasuke, can I trust you with a secret?" I heard Sota ask. I didn't look towards either of them as i thought about what me and Sota talked about a few minutes earlier
Flashback to a few minutes prior:
I felt Sota move closer to me and his breath on my ear. "Sakura, can you trust him?" I nodded without thinking. "I think you should tell him. Someone needs to know so that they can help you." I stayed silent while judging his proposition. "Sota, I know I can trust him, he's the more reserved type, but…I was listening as I was walking and a lot of girls talk about him. Not bad about him, just kind of fan girl-ish" I felt Sota grab my hand as he helped me up. "It's ok as long as you trust him." He said so quietly that only my keen hearing could pick it up.
Present Time:
"A secret?" Sasuke asked, "Yeah, I can keep one." I wasn't sure what to say. I was scared of losing one of my first friends already. "Sasuke, just promise me two things. Don't tell anyone, not even Naruto, and I don't want your pity." I heard him take a deep breath before answering with his usual "Hm"
"Sota, you can go. I want to tell him alone." I said
"Alright, see you later." I heard him walk away.
"Sakura, are you going to tell me or am I going to stand here being anxious for the rest of my life?" I turned my face towards his.
"I think that's the most he's said all day." I thought
"You know you like hearing his voice" my inner said
"Shut up" I replied
I knew he was staring at me, so I took a deep breath before saying,
"Sasuke, I'm blind."
I heard his breath catch a little when I told him. "Blind…..How."
The warning bell rang. I realized how crowded the hall started getting.
"Never mind, you can explain later. Let's get to homeroom." I sighed. Maybe it was a good idea to tell Sasuke after all, he understands that I want it kept a secret. "Aren't you going to be late if you take me?" I asked. I heard him chuckle softly under his breath as he put a hand on my back and led me forward. "I saw your student ID, we have the same homeroom." we arrived with a little bit of time before class started.
"Kakashi-sensei is our homeroom teacher; he's usually late so come sit by me before the fan girls appear. I nodded and kept walking in the direction he led me. We put my hand on the back of the chair before I heard him pull out his own seat and sit. I followed suit. Slowly pulling out the chair and feeling the seat. Sasuke waited patiently while I sat down. "So do you want to talk now or later?" Sasuke suddenly asked. He had a tone in his voice that I couldn't pinpoint. Was it curiosity, anxiousness, surprise? I wasn't sure but I was happy at the thing I didn't hear; pity. I didn't hear any at all. I smiled , not realizing Sasuke was still waiting for an answer. "What's with the smile?" I stopped smiling and started blushing. I put my face in my hands as I waited for the color and heat to go away.
Finally, I looked up at him. "Sasuke, I like you. I never had a friend that knew I was blind and didn't think of me as a hopeless girl before. Thanks."
"But are you sure you like him as just a friend?"Inner Sakura asked.
"I don't know. Maybe I like him, maybe I don't." I replied.
"Hey Sakura, are you gonna tell me or not?" I heard a now slightly impatient Sasuke ask.
"Well, it all started….."
Ok guys, that was the 3rd chapter of From Dark To Light! Did you like it? I kind of changed Sasuke's personality so he's not so much of an ass. Comment, follow, and favorite. Next chapter out soon. Thanks for reading!
Replied to some comments below J
-Dear vero1092, either you're psychic or it was obvious cause it was Karin!
-Dear Mystery Day Dreamer, I'm wondering how long she can pretend too. Sasuke knows now but what about the rest of the Naruto crew?! I have a few tricks up my sleeve before then.
-Dear NinjaDeathKidTwiHost, Now you know who it was. Hoped you liked it!
