A/N: FINALLY, IT HAS COME. The chapter that you've all been waiting for! ;) (I hope.) I don't really have an idea for it, but as I write it'll come. Please enjoy!
Sakura watches me in curiosity,her eyes sparkling with wonder. I take it in as I continue on. "We are rogue ninja from Konohagakure. We both grew up in that village, but left at twelve. We were on the same squad, and you were madly in love with me." She pouts. "Were you not in love with me?"
I consider her question. What do I say? The truth? Back then I never felt like I was in love with her, although I had the feeling that I needed to protect her with everything I had. And even now I'm not "in love" with her, only pretending. Right?
I notice the prolonged silence and finally give my answer. "I cared a lot about you, but I wasn't in love at the time." She gives a slight frown but doesn't say anything else. I continue.
"My family was killed by my older brother when I was a young child. I had wanted my revenge since and had decided to leave the village to train with Orochimaru. You tried to stop me, but I refused to stay..." She was still silent, soaking in all of my memories.
"So you decided to join my on my quest for power and revenge. We left together and trained with him and his assistant, Kabuto. He's the one who taught you all of the medical ninjutsu you know." Her mouth formed a smirk. In my peripherals I could see Tobi's eye shine with humor at my lie. I roll my eyes ever so slightly and continue.
"During our training you still were madly in love with me, and I eventually fell for you,too." I say as nonchalantly as possible, shrugging. She finally spoke up. "And why is that?" I twitch at the question. Great. Now I need an explanation for my "love." I pause to think, then answer.
"Well, you're the only one who has stayed by my side. You were willing to die for me and my goal, which became our goal. When everyone else left me, you were still there, cheering me on. You have a great heart." The more I say, the more I can see her getting convinced. I'd almost say that Tobi,too, was convinced of my story.
I hear someone moan in the hallway. We all turn to see Suigetsu holding his stomach and fighting back laughter. "Sa-Sasuke, I never kn-knew you were such a ro-ROMANTIC." And he fails. I hear another noise, like a growl, and see a certain red head disappear from behind his back and down the hall.
Oh great, Idiot here is going to never let me live this down.
"But wait, how'd we end up with them instead of this 'Orochimaru'?" Sakura asks seriously, yet with a blush across her face. "We learned all we could from them and I eventually killed him. Kabuto got away,somehow. Anyways, we recruited Suigetsu, Juugo, and Karin and formed a team to find my brother.
After we found him, I killed him and then Tobi found us. He informed us that Itachi,my brother, actually was assigned by our village to kill my whole clan. Since then we have joined his organization called Akatsuki and are trying to get revenge by destroying the whole town. We recently killed the man in charge of sending my brother on this mission, and afterwards you received your injuries."
She blankly stares at the floor. I scowl, wondering why she is reacting this way. Does she realize I'm lying? "Woohoo! Didn't I tell ya that it was a great story! Huh? Huh?" Tobi pulls her close to him and jumps up and down."Such angst and romance. It's a perfect tale!" He giggles like a little girl. The pinkette puts on a fake smile and joins him. What is she really feeling?
"Sasuke, we need to figure out if she still remembers all her jutsu." Tobi demands. It's the next day, and Sakura has been hounding me about our years of being in the village. I told her the truth every time, not caring enough to come up with a story. I didn't get to train at all, but instead stayed in her room all day. Yuki had just checked on her and said that she would be feeling well enough to train tomorrow. Afterwards, Tobi and I stepped out, leaving her to get her rest.
"I know." He nods. "Find out tomorrow." I wave him away and walk to my room. All day I had been worried that she would remember everything and mess up our plans,but she never showed any recognition when I mentioned Naruto or Kakashi or any other people from the village. In fact, she even seemed more confused and would shoo them away. She just wanted to hear about me. I sigh. What am I going to do after all this is said and done?
Either she will remember everything from her past, or else she'll move on and become like me. Do I really want to force her into this? But then again, she did want to join me. If she had, would my lie have become the truth? I shake the thoughts from my head as I enter my room. I blow my candle out and climb into bed, closing my eyes.
All I see is her bright face and pink hair. "Ugh!" I put my pillow over my face.
A/N: Hehehe. I like Sasuke's little spill at the end. He's such a bipolar person. XD So I didn't want to spend too much going over their past because I don't think Sasuke would. I personally would tell her everything! But Sasuke is a man of few words...So please tell me what you think by reviewing and continue reading! Thank you!
