Chapter 14: The Only One Who Made Him Smile

"Now do you see how perfect you are together? I mean, you even met at the same time and felt something" Ino said looking hopeful that the two would at least look at each other again.

Sakura and Sasuke both looked down at the bed after the last tape played.

"Yeah…I mean…if this goes on forever Sasuke you might loose-"

"That's enough" Sakura said silently.

She walked out of the room and out of the house.

She figured that she would just sit down at the shore and look at the beach.

Yeah… that would clear things out.

Sasuke walked out of the room too and also headed for the beach but away from Sakura.

He walked where he and Sakura had last been together alone.

He walked on top of the hill and sat there.

The sun and the ocean was a very beautiful sight.

He inhaled the see breeze.

It felt good.

He looked down on the shore and saw Sakura sit there also looking at the view that was in front of them.

She seemed puzzled for a moment then suddenly smiled weakly.

Sasuke smiled. He liked Sakura when she smiled. Hers were beautiful.

Then he returned his gaze back at the horizon.

He remembered something.

Flashback:

It's been 6 months since his clan died and he and his brother were the only ones left.

Though he didn't really consider his brother as being one of his family members anymore.

School set out early in the morning and as usual, during class the girls would always cheer for him cause he was just plain good at handling his shurikens and kunais.

He was been classmates with Sakura back then and everybody else.

He didn't have time to look at her.

After class he walked to the lake near their house and sat down at the deck there.

He didn't have his family now.

He ate a tomato and looked at the sunset.

Just as he was eating he heard someone going pass his direction.

He looked back with the tomato still in his hand looking calm.

It was Sakura.

As he looked at her she also looked at him.

Sakura smiled at him.

Sasuke smiled back shortly before frowning and returning to his tomato.

Sakura passed him.

She was probably heading for home.

His family is dead.

He was an avenger now.

He thought about avenging his family just as Itachi left him crying there on the street.

He grew angry at the thought.

He wasn't strong enough to protect his family.

He squashed the tomato he was holding.

He was weak.

He stood up gripping his hand furiously.

He pushed Sakura out of his mind.

He thought…I shouldn't let anything get in my way. I'm an avenger. I should train harder to avenge my family. He ran heading towards the forest to train.

Starting from that day on he didn't pay much attention to anybody even Sakura.

He needed to train to get stronger.

He focused on his training and forgot about everything else.

Including how he first felt for Sakura.

End Of Flashback

Sasuke opened his eyes and exhaled.

Sasuke just remembered the day when he turned cold and pushed everybody else out of his mind.

He looked out into the ocean again looking disturbed.

His brother is dead now. He killed him. So why should he push everybody out now?

He decided that he would return to his old self and try to get along with everybody again.

Maybe I could even have feelings for Sakura again… Sasuke thought.

She wasn't like any other girls who were always following him around being childish shouting his name for him to notice them.

No…

She was much more different than that.

Even at his hardest times of the lost of his family.

He had been very lonely and cold back then.

He didn't have any feelings then. He always wore a blank or an angry expression on his face back then.

But Sakura…

She was the only one who had managed to make me smile after my family died.

He was right.

Sakura WAS the only one who had managed to make him smile after his family died.

Then he thought.

I'll try to accept Sakura now and maybe, just maybe…I could love her back.
