Chapter 8: Birthday Invitation

Sasuke felt that it was his fault Sakura was in her condotion now.

It's been 2 weeks since she was brought here in the hospital and yet she hasn't woken up yet.

Of course, Sasuke didn't forget what Tsunade said...

There's only a small chance that she could wake up

Sakura please wake up already! Sasuke felt really guilty.

Everyday he stayed by Sakura's side.

Not that he loved her or anything. But he did feel something when he saw how beautiful she was that night of the dance. But that was only once.

Since these past 2 weeks others would stop by for a visit.

Sasuke was looking outside the window looking at the stars.

I'm sorry Sakura...

Just as he was about to shed a tear, he heard a groan.

"Sakura?" Sasuke said.

Sakura's eyes were shut tight but she was trying to open them.

"Sakura...please open your eyes..." Sasuke pleaded.

Sakura twitched as Sasuke finished this sentence.

Then after a few moments Sakura slowly opened her eyes.

"Sasuke?" Sakura whispered.

Sakura tried to get up but she almost fell back down, but Sasuke caught her and helped her straighten up.

"Thank you Sasuke-kun...How long have I been asleep?"

"For 2 weeks already, Tsunade said that there was only a small chance that you could get up. Thank god that small chance happened. I was really worried."

Sakura looked at her blanket and started to cry.

"What's the matter Sakura?"

"You hate me now don't you?"

"For what?"

"Because...God damn it! I killed your girlfriend because...Tsk...You wouldn't believe me anyway" Sakura said turning her head away from Sasuke.

"No Sakura you don't understand..."

"It's because I never really do right?"

"Sakura please listen to me for just a sec."

Sasuke paused for a few moments as he looked outside the window again and Sakura looked at him.

"It's my fault you got in this situation. I should have known Kidate wasn't serious. I should have believed you before...I saw her, just before I passed out during the night of the dance...I saw her take off her mask. But that was all that I saw. I'm sorry Sakura"

Sakura couldn't believe her ears. This was the Sasuke she knew before. He was finally back...

The following morning Tsunade told Sakura that she could leave in about 3 days.

Sasuke still stood by Sakura's side. Taking care of her.

By the day before Sakura could already go Ino went for a visit and was pretty excited.

"Sakura! Oh my God! Finally your awake! Everybody's been so worried!" Ino said as she hugged Sakura.

"I'm sorry Sakura I can only stay here for a while I'm in a rush you see" Ino said with apologetic smile.

"It's ok...what is it anyway?" Sakura said with a smile.

"Well...I just want to invite you to my birthday tomorrow, you too Sasuke..."

"Tomorrow's your birthday? Oh yeah! Oh my gosh I totally forgot...I'm sorry Ino! It seems that I've been stuck here longer than I thought" Sakura said giggling.

"It's okay Sakura...just don't forget to got tomorrow okay? 7 am at the beach. You could already go out tomorrow right? I talked to Tsunade about it."

"Okay Ino I'll go"

"Okay Sakura! Thanks! Well I need to go now. Gotta invite others too...take care!"

Ino closed the door to the room.

"Are you going Sasuke-kun?"

"Yeah"

"Okay...well you could go home now, you better get some rest too"

"Your right...well...take care Sakura"

"Bye Sasuke"

Sakura was left alone in the room

So Ino's birthday is tomorrow huh?...Can't wait!

Sakura was already excited to go to Ino's birthday tomorrow.

Only one problem though...what was she going to wear? She doesn't have bathing suits since she doesn't really have time to go swimming...she was always training after Sasuke left her 3 years ago. And all that was left were too small for her to fit in.

As she was wandering in her thoughts someone knocked on the door.

"Come in"

"Sakura"

"Oh hi Tsunade-sama"

"Ino just informed about her birthday tomorrow and I think you could go home now...you need to get ready for that party you know." Tsunade said as she blinked.

"But I thought I could only be ready to walk tomorrow?"

"The day after you woke up...you could have already walked by then, but I just wanted you to rest up. So go on now and have fun tomorrow. Say happy birthday to Ino for me tomorrow"

"Alright Tsunade-sama and...Thank you"
