The Fight for Sakura's Love

"Go ahead, fight me if you dare. I must warn you to the point that I am tough and strong enough to maybe even beat you," taunted Sasuke, clenching his fists.

"I won't be so sure of that, you are only of Genin-level ninja. Beating you might be the easiest thing I can probably do. Beating your girlfriend was easy, so if you lose, you might not be able to make it alive and proclaim your so-called love to her!" replied Toeshi, narrowing her eyelids slightly.

"We'll see about that Toeshi!" snapped Sasuke in a fiery angry tone and with that, Sasuke sprinted to her in fast speed following his temper and got ready to punch her with his left fist. Toeshi blocked his punch with her right palm, lifted her right leg and kicked him in the front of his body. Sasuke groaned with pain.

"Itachi is right; you are weak!" smirked Toeshi. She grabbed his right arm and threw him to the left as he clutched his stomach and got up.

"Do not think I am going to give up that easily, for Itachi is my brother and I shall fight my best for Sakura in the sake of my hatred for my only siblingafter what he did to my family!" said Sasuke, glaring. He clasped his hands together in the Fireball Technique his father taught him before he was killed by Sasuke's brother.

"Fire Element: Great Fireball Technique!" he yelled and fire flew out of his mouth with huge flames flickering towards Toeshi.

"AAAAGGGGHHHH!" screamed Toeshi as she shielded her face from the flames.

"I bet your face is all burned up like charcoal and ashes," muttered Sasuke as the clouds of smoke cleared up. Then he looked around and saw she wasn't there! She fled the fireball technique! "Where is that terrible bully?" demanded Sasuke, tightening up his body in a tense position and felt his body temperature heat up. Maybe since he was fighting for Sakura, he was starting to warm his feelings for her. It was something he might never have felt before. His cheeks started to soften up with unexplainable emotional feelings.

"Genin, I am over here," called Toeshi, up above him. She jumped down to him and noticed that he was flushing. She figured right away that it was mean indirectly to Sakura. "I think pretty boy genius ninja has feelings that are unexplained," she said, looking carelessly to Sakura.

"Bring it on!" snarled Sasuke. The fight was brutal and vicious and Sakura had fallen asleep. Sasuke kept thinking about Sakura, asking himself silently why he was doing it. Because, maybe, he was going to love her? Everything (sung by Fefe Dobson)played while he fought for her :

Everything(sung by Fefe Dobson)

Ayo, lad da day oh

Ayo, lad da day oh lad dee da

Sometimes I give in to sadness
Sometimes I don't
Doo doo doo doo
At times I'm part of the madness
Sometimes I won't
Give in to you
You see in a way
I have been drifting down a river
To nowhere
And you've given me nothing
But if you're ready to be my everything
If you're ready to see it through this time
And if you're ready for love then
This I will bring
But I'm not gonna wait for you forever this time
Ladeeda ayo
ladadayo ladeeda
At times I feel myself smiling
At times I'm not
Doo doo doo doo
Yeah yay
What's with the guilt that you styling baby
Talk don't look good on you
You see in a way
I have been looking for a reason to go there
And you're leading me nowhere
And if you're ready to be my everything
If you're ready to see it through this time
And if you're ready for love then
This I will bring
But I'm not gonna wait for you forever this time
Ladeeda ayo
ladadayo ladeeda
Are you waiting for a special occasion
To give me your heart
Cause I need a little confirmation
To make a real start
Don't wait till it's too late
Are you ready to show me?
Are you ready to love me?
You see in a way
I have been drifting down a river
To nowhere
And you're giving me nothing
And if you're ready to be my everything
If you're ready to see it through this time
And if you're ready for love then
This I will bring
But I'm not gonna wait for you forever this time
And if you're ready to be
Ready to be my everything
And if you're ready to see it through this time
If you're ready for love then baby
This I will bring
But I'm not gonna wait forever this time
ladayo ladadayo ladeeda

The fight was brutal. It went on with ninja techniques and martial arts until Toeshi gave up weakly, declaring Sasuke's victory.

"You win Sasuke, now say that you love her," smiled Toeshi, weakly.

" But I am not sure if I am ready to love her," protested Sasuke.

Sakura woke up at that instant. "That is nonsense! Sasuke never told me how he felt! I felt hurt that he tried to push me away when I try to help him out!" shouted Sakura. She pointed to him and continued loudly "Why have you chose to fight for me? It is no reason for me figure your feelings out for you if I know that you are so cold to me! How could you learn to love a girl who bothers you a lot while she tries to help the one she loves? Explain yourself!"

That did it. Sasuke yelled out "Because although I have to avenge my clan my brother killed, I had to keep myself away from my feelings to you in order to concentrate and focus instead of playing myself for love! I was so rude and cruel to you so that I'd pay attention, but I was supposedly playing with you to make sure you didn't know any word of what I said!"

"If you cannot keep your real feelings for each other in place, then I choose not to fight you anymore," said Toeshi, who acknowledged what the two of them were saying. "We shall meet again," she said and vanished in a poof of smoke.

"What was that all about?" asked Sakura, confused. Sasuke looked at her strangely.

"In case you didn't know, but I have to hide my feelings due to my focus on my ambition," explained Sasuke. "Our bond almost broke because of that and I have not yet made plans to spend time with you,"

"You didn't ask me on a date because you explained that you didn't want to date me due to your disinterest in me," Sakura told him. She lowered her head sadly avoiding eye contact, in which Sasuke noticed from the corner of his eye "You don't know me outside of ninja school,"

"Well, I'll do it with only you. I will then see if I can fall in love with you then," said Sasuke, grinning.

Then, he took Sakura and carried her on his back, giving her a piggy-back ride. He turned his head to Sakura's left arm and pressed it gently while Sakura leaned her head to his left shoulder. Tomorrow may be a day of new things to come, including rekindling a long-forgotten love to a lovelier love; romance.
