Bells, and the Breaking
AN: Hope you all enjoy :D
-Sakura's POV-
Today is the day for Kakashi-Sensei's "training." Better head off now, I don't want to be late again.
I walked to the 3 poles in that were in front of a huge field with a single tree in the middle of it, and a river along the right side. Sasuke and Naruto were already there waiting; glaring at one another.
I signed.
Not a day goes by that those two idiot stop being, well idiots.
After about 4 hours later, Kakashi appeared with another excuse to hide that fact that he was visiting the Memorial Stone.
"YOU LIAR!" Naruto and Sasuke yelled.
"Yeah, yeah, enough let's get started all you have to do is take these bells from me."
"That's it?" Sasuke asked.
"Yupp." Kakashi replied.
"What's the catch?" I asked.
"There's no catch."
"But there are only two bells. 3 of us. How do you suppose that works?" I said matter-of-factly.
"It doesn't, the one that doesn't get a bell by lunch, doesn't get lunch, thus being tied to that pole. Then again, none of you could get a bell from me, then none of you get lunch. But if you fail, you will be sent back to the academy. Okay?"
"Hn."
"Let's begin then."
As we jumped to find a hiding spot I notice Naruto went directly in front of Kakshi-Sensei, so, quickly, I jumped to Naruto and pulled him back with me.
I was trying to put together a plan, but, of course, Naruto wouldn't stop distracting me.
"Naruto shut the fuck up, I'm thinking."
"Hmpt. Hurry up then." Naruto said rudely.
"Naruto!" Sasuke whispered, and hit Naruto on the head. Hard. "Don't speak to Sakura like that!"
"Oh please pretty boy, shut up, we all know you have a crush on Sakura." Naruto said teasingly.
Sasuke blushed. "Do not!"
"Do too!"
"Do not!"
"Do too!
"DO. NOT."
"DO. TOO."
"DO! NOT!"
"DO! TOO!"
"Okay guys, I have a plan." I said trying to break up their argument.
They both stopped and stared at me intensively.
I whispered to them and then we all hide in different places.
Naruto went right in front of Kakashi-Sensei, and attacked him straight on, while Sasuke did he's "Demon Wind Shurikin, Windmill Of Shadows," from behind.
It's my turn now.
While Kakashi tried to take both of them at once, I jumped in and tried to punch as if I wanted to kill him. He caught it, then I tried using my other fist, when he caught the blow I tried kicking him with my left leg, and I saw from the corner of my eye that his eye was wide. I kicked him with my right leg, while I reached for the bells on his hip. Once I grabbed them, Kakashi threw me backwards with quite a lot of force.
I flipped my pink locks out of my eyes and smirked.
"Game over, Kakashi-Sensei." I stated proudly.
I gave one bell to Naruto and the other to Sasuke.
"Well which one of you is going to be stuck to the pole?" Kakashi-Sensei smirked. It was all part of his game.
"Me." I answered before Sasuke, and Naruto could protest.
After I was tied up and Sasuke, and Naruto were given their lunches Kakashi-Sensei spoke.
"No one even think about feeding Sakura, or else you'll also be sent back to the academy!" He made it sound more dramatic than it actually was.
Sasuke looked around.
"Here have some of mine." Sasuke spoke quietly.
"But Sasuke! He'll send you back to the academy too!" Naruto whined quietly.
"Listen Naruto, Sakura helped the Teamwhen she made the plan, even though she would have much rather preferred to do it herself. She took one for the team. We're stronger as a team, than by ourselves, you know that Naruto, right?"
"Yeah whatever, you lost me."
Sasuke glared.
"Quickly, he could come back any moment."
Sasuke took his chop sticks and fed me. I looked into his onyx black eyes that looked kind of sad now, I missed them so much. Ever since the massacre, I've been alone, always alone. I've been selfish, I never thought of how I would be effecting the others I care so much about around me.
How did Sasuke feel when I suddenly shunned him from my life?
I've been so selfish.
I looked done as I was being fed, all I wanted to do was cry; but I refused to while Naruto, and Sasuke were here.
"HOW DARE YOU DISOBAY ME!" Kakashi-Sensei appeared from out of a puff of smoke.
"Because we're a team!" Sasuke said proudly.
"Yeah! We're stronger together!" Naruto shouted.
"All of us, together." I finished it off.
"Because you're a team, you guys are stronger together, all of you?" Kakashi-Sensei said like he was talking to children.
"Is that your answer?" He asked.
Sasuke and I nodded.
"BELIEVE IT!" Naruto yelled as loud as possible.
"THEEEN, you pass." Kakashi-sensei smiled.
"We what?" Sasuke asked.
"You passed, all of you." Kakashi-Sensei kept his smile.
"How?" Naruto asked.
"Because you guys were the first team to understand that teammates, or your comrades in general are more important than some rules. It's true that those who disobey the rules are scum, but those who betray a comrade are even worse than scum."
"Hurray!" Naruto screamed.
Sasuke untied me from the pole, then high fived Naruto and me.
"I'll see you all tomorrow for your first mission." Kakashi-Sensei said.
We all nodded.
"Hey Sakura, want to go get some ramen at Ichiraku with me later tonight?" Naruto asked hopefully.
"Actually Naruto I was thinking of going somewhere else. I'm sorry." I apologised.
"Ohhh rejected." Sasuke teased.
"Shut up Teme!"
"I'll see you boys later," I said while walking away.
"Bye Sakura!" Naruto yelled.
"Later… Sakura." Sasuke whispered with his head low.
I was sure I was going straight home, but somehow, not matter which direction I went, I found myself at the Haruno graveyard, which was ironically on the other side of the Village Hidden In The Leaves from the Haruno district.
I was right in front on my parent's graves, and I fell to my knees.
Mother, Father. Long-time no see.
"I thought I might find you here." I heard a voice and whipped my head around to be met with the onyx eyes of the youngest of the Uchiha heirs.
"Well you found me." I managed a broken up voice, and a sad smile.
He walked over slowly with the grass cushioning his feet. He knelt down beside me.
It was only then that he realised there were tears running down my face.
Sasuke's eyes widened, he quickly took off his black jacket with the Uchiha fan engraved on the back of it, and wrapped it around me. He then sat down cross legged, and pulled me into his very well built chest tightly.
"There there." Sasuke stroked my long pink locks of hair.
"It's going to be okay, I promise, I'll take all your pain away, just please Sakura give me the chance to… I beg of you Sakura, please don't shun me out of your life again, do you know how much it hurts to be away from you?" Sasuke whispered very calmly, with hurt in his voice.
After hearing all of that, I broke, I couldn't stop my tears from flowing, I couldn't control my emotions. I cried, and sobbed in Sasuke's neck.
Crying is unacceptable. Crying clouds the judgement of the mind, thus crying is when the body is defeated by emotion, and such feelings are a burden for me. An avenger.
But I couldn't stop crying, not matter what I told myself, it just happened. I was thankful that Sasuke was there holding me tight the whole time though.
"Please Sakura… Please be with me… Forever?" Sasuke asked unsurely.
My eyes widened even with all the tears clouding my vision.
"It pains me to see you like this Sakura. I know there's nothing I can say or do, that can fully remove this pain you feel. But I sure as hell will try, and I promise you'll have a great time watching my miserably fail." Sasuke tried to joke a little.
I smiled a small smile through my tears.
"So what do you say?" Sasuke asked.
I was listening to Sasuke's heartbeat as he held me tight to his chest. I listened as it sped up, and slowed down repeatedly, I could tell the wait for my answer was killing him.
"Ca-a-an you re-a-a-ll-ll-y be okay wi-i-th me being an a-a-ave-e-nger, and stil l-l-l-ove me?" I sobbed out.
"Mhmm, you can count on it." Sasuke's voice was so smoothening to me, especially while I was like this.
"O-o-kay… Sasuke… I-I-I love you." I manged to sob out clinging to his perfect body.
"I love you too Sakura." He patted my head comfortingly.
I cried on his shoulder for the rest of the night, and even fell asleep after I had no more tears left to cry. When I woke up, I was no longer in the Haruno graveyard.
Where was I?
