He ran.
He had to hurry, he might already be to late.
He held the letter in his hand. It was written in Sakura's handwriting and held only one word. But Sasuke knew what it meant.
This whole situation was his fault. If only he had talked to her!
He ran as fast as his legs could carry him, and even faster as he pumped almost all of his chakra into his legs.
He knew exactly where she would be. She went there often, and sang sad songs to herself. He would sit amongst the blossoms and listen to her, trying to gather the courage to come out and talk to her. But he never did. And how he did regret this now.
He ran into the forest of Cherry Blossom trees. He had to find her! He sensed a presence near bye. It had to be her!
He saw her in the distance, standing by the lone Sakura tree in the middle of the clearing.
"SAKURAAA!!!!!" he yelled at the top of his lungs as he sprinted towards her.
But he was too late.
He was only just in time to catch her as she fell down towards the ground.
"No, no..." he whispered. Sakura looked up at him, a kunai lunged deep into her chest.
"Sakura," his voice was soft and pleading.
"I love you,"
Sakura's eyes widened at his words, but it was to late. Her body went limp in his arms.
"No, NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!"
Tears splashed onto her body. He hadn't cried for years, but he just couldn't hold them back any longer.
"S-sakura..."
Why had he been so stupid! Why had he never told her that he loved her! Was it fear of being rejected? No, it couldn't have been. Sakura would never reject him, not in a million years. Then what could it have been? He took the kunai out of her chest and examined it, his tears bouncing off it.
He knew why he never told her.
He was afraid. Afraid that she was only a small step above a mere fangirl, afraid that her feelings for him was not as deep as his love for her.
But as he fell to the ground, the same kunai that killed his love in his chest. He realized that her love for him wasn't as deep as his.
It was much, much deeper.

A/N: My last chapter was far too soppy and perfect. And the two things that I write best are sickly sweet romances and sorrowful stories. I just can't write happy-go-lucky stuff. Hehe, maybe thats why my 3 fav charries are Sasuke (whole clan dead) Itachi (same as Sasuke, his own bro wants to kill him) and Sakura (unreturned love).
Oh, and I guess that Ita-kun and Sasu-kun are just so darn kawaii! I guess you don't need much more then a basic stereotype to please me.
Wow, I do like rambling!
Please review!
