Okay i know its short. I know i havent updated for a while. I'm sorry. And I am even more sorry that i am thinking about discontinuing the story for just a few weeks. Not because It is getting less reviews ( although that is one of the reasons ) but also because i have been having a major idea run through my head for another story. So my question is...

Should I discontinue this story?

-Yes

or

-No

'thoughts'

"I leave the fauct running just so you don't hear me cry"


Chapter 16


Recap:

"This battle isn't only to show him I am not weak anymore. It's also to show him that I don't need him IN MY LIFE! I am perfectly fine with or with out him. I still don't need him judging me no matter what!" I continued. "It is a fight for respect, dominance, trust, and revenge for everything he has done, and I will not lose!"


Sasuke awoke in the hospital around noon. The sun was shining bright and clear. Its rays reflected off of Sasuke's sleeping porcelain white face. His chest rose and fell repeatedly, as he slumbered. His onyx hair tangled together on as his head rests upon his pillow. Sasuke was having a peaceful dream, which he thought he would never have again. ( I skipped the fight because I am gonna bring it up in the next chapter )

Sasuke's Dream:

Sasuke Uchiha, now the only heir of the Uchiha clan, and the only survivor, was lying down on a meadow that was surrounded by a long field of luminous pink Cherry Blossom trees. The sent of Cherry Blossoms filled the air. Radiating off of everything it possibly could to cover the whole terrain in the smell of Cherry Blossoms.

Sasuke Uchiha was relaxing peacefully for the first time since his family's massacre just the day before. His onyx eyes were closed, and his head was resting against the trunk of a Sakura tree. His chest was rising and falling in a slow but steady beat. His tear-stained cheeks were covered by his bangs.

Sasuke was in the middle of a dream, when he felt a small hand on his left shoulder. He jumped slightly before turning to a girl with pink hair and bright emerald eyes. Her smile was heart warming and comforting. Which was stranger for Sasuke, who thought everyone was against him.

"Who are you?" Sasuke said in a cold voice filled with venom.

"My name doesn't really matter Sasuke-san," the girl replied, the smile still on her face.

"Who are you, answer me now!" Sasuke growled venomously.

"I'm a friend. That's all you need to know!" The girl replied merrily.

Sasuke raised one of his slim onyx eye brows in a slightly confused motion. 'Who is this girl,' he thought in his mind. 'Why is she so nice?'

Sasuke decided she was just a girl who wanted to get into his pants and glared at her. "I'm not going to do anything with you," he growled menacingly.

"I never said I wanted you to," she replied as she pulled out a bento from her bag and handed it to him, "But I do think you should eat something."

Sasuke raised another eyebrow. He was still slightly confused at the girl's actions. 'What is she up to?'

"Eat, you need the strength. No one can be great as everything," she said in a caring voice.

Sasuke looked at the box cautiously before opening it. He saw tons of sliced tomatoes, which he eagerly gulfed down.

The girl smiled at him as he ate. "I'm glad you like it Sasuke-san." She said happily.

Sasuke nodded at her. "It's good." Sasuke commented, which made the girl beam happily.

Her smile widened when Sasuke asked if she could make that again, and come tomorrow. The girl nodded cheerfully.

"Sure, I would-" She began but was cut off when someone began to shake Sasuke's shoulder roughly.

End of Sasuke's Dream



Sasuke woke up with a sudden jolt. He looked at his surroundings and saw white walls covered in posters of the human body. He was laying on something hard. He looked down only to realize he was actually lying on a cold hard as rock hospital bed, meaning he was in the hospital.

He continued to look around when his eyes fell on his over hyper active knuckle head teammate Naruto Uzumaki.

"Yo, teme, how are you feeling?" Naruto asked Sasuke.

Sasuke just twitched in annoyance. "What do you mean how do I feel, dope?"

"Well, you got knocked upside the head pretty good, and you had a few broken ribs, not to mentions were in a total trance when you got to the hospital. And one of the two people that could remove the trance refused to remove it." Naruto began.

"What do you mean refused to remove it? It's their job to do that." Sasuke questioned.

"Well, the one who refused was the one who put you into it to begin with," the blonde knuckle head rambled on.

Sasuke just nodded his head. His eyes were still focused upon his blonde haired guest.

Naruto blinked at Sasuke a few times. He was analyzing his ex-teammates every move.

Onyx eyes clashed with cerulean.

Both eyes seemed to be fighting for dominance, revenge, and friendship.

Neither spoke for awhile. Both were unaware of their surroundings. They seemed like they were in a trance that seemed almost unbreakable. As if nothing could pull them out. Not even their selves.

Naruto was the first to break the silence when he asked Sasuke, "Why did you say those things?"

Sasuke blinked a few times. "Nani, what are you talking about dope?" Sasuke asked confused.

"Why did you say those things to Saku-Chan?" Naruto asked again, he was getting a bit more impatient with Sasuke's 'I have no idea what your talking about because I'm to cool and don't care for anything at all' kind of attitude.

"Hn, that doesn't concern you dope; it never has, and it never will." Sasuke said slightly angered at the fact that the dope was questioning him.

"She offered you everything. She did everything she could for you, and you throw her aside like she is trash. LIKE SHE IS A TOY FOR YOU TO JUST PLAY WITH UNTIL SHE PROVES TO BE NO USE TO YOU!" Naruto said as his voice got louder and began echoing with hatred.

"She was never any use to me, so I don't see why you even brought that up." Sasuke said crossly.

"Why I brought it up? YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY THE FREAKING HELL I BROUGHT IT UP!" Naruto howled.

"Actually I would dope! Why did you bring that up?" Sasuke asked as a scowl formed upon his face.

"That has the simplest answer ever. I care for her." Naruto seethed.

"What do you mean by care?" Sasuke asked slyly.

"She is the closest thing to family I have. I love her just like I love Hinata-Chan. She is one of my best friends. She is the closest thing I will ever, and I mean EVER conceder to be family. When something goes wrong, I can always count on her. She is the most important thing in my life along with Hinata-chan. She is everything to me, Ayamari, Hinata-chan, Tsunade, and all of Konaha." Naruto exclaimed.

Sasuke stood their speechless. Naruto's words echoed through his mind over and over.

Sasuke felt his heart ache for a moment. He had no clue what he was feeling. He didn't know if he was pissed off that he got sent to the hospital after a fight that was suppose to be an easy win for him, or that the dope was questioning him. Or maybe…MAYBE he is a bit jealous that Naruto got so close to Sakura.

Sakura Haruno, the girl he had ignored, the one he had shunned and left her on a cold bench. The one he might possibly have cared for. Even though he might have only cared for her as a friend. Maybe he was, truly jealous of the relationship Naruto had with Sakura.

Maybe it was just his mind playing tricks on him. Or his heart having a twisted emotional break down after all the years he kept it hidden. He did not know. But for some reason, some weird twisted totally jacked up reason, He was having second thoughts on what he had said to Sakura.

He, Uchiha Sasuke was actually feeling, dare I say it, was feeling Guilty?

Sasuke was interrupted from his thoughts when Naruto asked him:

"What do you think of Sakura, Sasuke? What do you honestly think of her? Tell me." Naruto asked/demanded.

"……" Sasuke said nothing.

"Well answer me. What do you think of Haruno Sakura?" Naruto asked again.

"……" Sasuke still said nothing.

"ANSWER ME NOW!" Naruto growled.

"I think I might actually-" Sasuke began but was interrupted when the door to his room, only to reveal…

"You said you loved me, What happened?"
