"Hm…where am I?" Sasuke said waking up a second time in a room that was unfamiliar.
Sasuke sat straight up and looked around and finally looked down next to his bed. It was that girl again. She had brought a seat in and sat by his bed and had fallen asleep waiting for him to wake up. Sasuke's hard, cold heart that was locked deep inside him warmed a little and his stiff body relaxed. Sasuke laid his head back and let out a sigh and closed his eyes. Sasuke lifted his hand and plopped it down on the sleeping girl's head. The girl smiled with her eyes till closed and softly chuckled.
"I'm glad you remember me now, Sasuke."
"It must be a dream. There's no way you could be her. Not you, not anybody on this earth could be you. You died a long time ago, Hakura."
The girl's rosy lips pulled up into a smile and she giggled.
"I thought you were dead too, Sasuke."
"Well, as you can see, I'm not dead," Sasuke said holding his arms up.
Hakura giggled again and propped her head up on her elbows as she gazed at Sasuke with sparkling silver-black eyes. Sasuke couldn't help smiling back at her. Sasuke cleared his throat and looked at her again only really looked hard at her.
"I can't believe it!" Sasuke began laughing hysterically now.
The girl's smile faded away and her bright eyes dimmed.
"What do you mean?" the girl asked a little frightened.
Sasuke continued to laugh.
"Don't you see?! This is all just one big dream! I know you died that night. Itachi killed you along with everybody else. Don't you see that? Ha! You thought you could fool me! Well, you got another thing coming if you think you can fool me!" Sasuke said psychotically.
The girl stood up and grabbed a rag that was on the table next to the bed and folded it in her hand. She looked at Sasuke sympathetically and sighed heavily.
"Sasuke, I'm sorry. I'm sorry you had to find out this way, there was no other way for me to do this. It was too sudden, and"- the girl broke off and put her hand to her mouth and squeezed her eyes shut, forcing herself not to cry.
She turned back to Sasuke and put her hand on his shoulder holding him down lightly. Her eyes got a little misted as she put the rag to Sasuke's mouth. Sasuke tried to move away her hand, but he was too weak and the medicine in the rag was acting fast. Sasuke's eyes got heavier and heavier as his hand was wrapped around her wrist. He looked up at the girl who now had a single tear roll down her cheek as he closed his eyes and dropped his hand from around her waist. Sasuke's body went limp and the girl removed the rag.
"I'm so sorry, Sasuke," the girl whispered as another tear rolled down her cheek.
No…don't cry. Please don't cry…Hakura….
