Chapter 3- Sakura Say What?
I looked over Sasuke's shoulder at his older brother, Itachi Uchiha. Evidently, I wasn't the only one who found Itachi's sudden appearance shocking.
"What the hell do you mean 'I can help explain that'? The younger Uchiha asked, "Sakura would die before she'd ever talk to you!"
"Well my younger, naive brother," Itachi started his explanation, "she almost did die, if I hadn't been there to stop Orichimaru and successfully trick him, your little cherry blossom would be dead. Since I saved her life, she thought she owed me, so, knowing that it would not only hurt Kahona, but that it would take a major impact on you, little brother, I asked her to become my apprentice, and look at her now. Almost as powerful as a true Uchiha would be." Itachi finished with a smirk.
I looked around the room to find something to chuck at Itachi's head, and came up short-handed.
'Well damn.'Sakura's Inner raved,'What the hell am I supposed to do now?'
Then I noticed that everybody was staring at me with wide eyes filled with shock and awe.
'Don't tell me I have a zit on my huge forehead!' Sakura's Inner panicked.
I turned my head to the side and saw the hypnotizing spin of my pupils, as Sasuke and Kakashi bellowed,
"YOU TAUGHT HER THE SHARINGAHN?"
'Aw hell.'
"Are you guys scared because you know that I'm able to kick your asses? Is that why you're pissed?"
Sasuke, Naruto, and Kakashi were as red as a tomato.
"NO. We're pissed because you're not supposed to know how to use the Sharingan!"
"Well, if you guys hadn't been thrashing me, then maybe I wouldn't have had to learn the Sharingan!" I bellowed at the bimbos (idiots).
To that they were speechless.
"When you guys REALLY want to talk, come find me."
With that, I left, by jumping out of Lady Tsunade's window, and ran to the only place I could calm down.
Two hours later… I arrived at my destination; the old Team 7's training grounds. I hid in my favorite tree and sat there and thought of nothing and everything. As it started to rain, I cried, very quietly. I didn't hear the approaching footsteps, didn't even hear his voice or see him until he was there. Stroking my face with his pinky finger while wiping away my tears with his thumb, as I looked into his midnight, onyx eyes he said,
"We need to talk."
"There's nothing to talk about, Sasuke." I explained, "Yeah, I know how to use the Sharingan, big freaking deal, get OVER it."
"Sakura—"
"No Sasuke, I've had it up to here with you guys. You, Kakashi, and Naruto have always put me down. You guys just brushed me aside as the weak link, the chink in your armor, WELL YOU KNOW WHAT?" I was now screaming at Sasuke, "I'm not that weak, little girl who couldn't even stop you from leaving Kahona all those years ago! I'm different now, and you can either deal with it, or leave me the HELL alone!"
"Sakura, listen to me—"
"No. I'm tired of being the underestimated girl." I said in a whisper, "I'm tired of being treated like I'm just another replaceable dead weight, and I'm not—"
"SAKURA! DAMN IT, I LOVE YOU! AND YOU'RE NOT REPLACEABLE, YOU NEVER WERE!" Sasuke shouted at me.
"Wh… Wha… What?" I sounded dumbstruck.
'You probably look it too.' Inner Sakura said in an exasperated tone.
"Sakura-kun, I LOVE YOU." Sasuke said as he grabbed me and pulled me into his warm embrace, "and I don't plan on ever letting you go again."
I pulled back and looked into the warm, loving, onyx eyes of the guy who I'd been crushing on since we were kids and whispered the only thing that would come to my mind.
"Prove it."
That's when it happened, after dreaming and fantasizing about it since I graduated from the academy; Sasuke's lips met mine in a sweet, tender kiss. When I pulled back to catch my breath, Sasuke moved his lips from mine to my ear as he whispered,
"Do you believe and trust me now?"
The only thing I could manage to do was nod my head 'yes'.
As I thought back to what he said, 'do you believe and trust me now?' As Sasuke leaned into my lips for another kiss I thought, 'Why ask me that of all things?'
I was about ready to ask him too when we heard,
"TEME! Did you find her?" Screamed the always obnoxious Naruto.
We heard footsteps approaching. Sasuke gave me his famous Uchiha smirk and grabbed my hand and pulled me to my feet.
"Yeah, Dobe." Sasuke called while I whimpered in protest, "I found her." Then as Sasuke smiled, actually smiled, at me, black stars danced around my vision as my knees gave out and I fell towards the black depths of a nightmare from my past.
