She was running fast from someone after her. He was very strong and she couldn't get away. She reached a clearing somewhere on the training grounds. She was panting hard as she leaned on a tree.
"You can run but you can't hide from me!" shouted a creepy voice from the shadows.
"Who the hell are you? What do you want with me?" she yelled back, readying her kunai.
Shurikens came flying towards her direction and she deflected it with her kunai. She jump back but someone grabbed her from behind.
"I'm here to finish something I left seventeen years ago…" a man whispered harshly on her ear.
You're that man! Her jade eyes widened as she realized that this was the man her mother kept mentioning on the journal.
"Damn you! I'm gonna make you pay for what you've done!" she said, her eyes eloquent with angered fire.
She pushed the shinobi and attacked relentlessly. Before she knew it, she had been put under a genjutsu. She tried to dispel it but she was trapped.
Horrible thoughts of death filled her head. She could hear all the blood-curling screams of the people being massacred one by one. Visions of brutal crimes and suffering were shown to her like clips from a movie. In front of her, she witness the murder of her own mother as if she was actually there.
"Yamete!" she screamed, hands on her head. She couldn't take it anymore! She wanted all of this to stop. Her body was shuddering and tears started to fall out of her eyes. And then, darkness...
"Hah!" Sakura woke up, startled. Sweat was drippingacross her face. A dream? No, it couldn't be…
She stood up, hands on her head, feeling a bit lightheaded.
Where am I? she asked herself. Her eyes roamed around. The place doesn't seem familiar to her.
"You're awake…" a voice caught her attention. She turned and saw the raven-haired Uchiha leaning upon the door. His arms were across his chest and his eyes look exhausted.
"Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked, unable to recall all the events from last night. "What happened?"
Sasuke frowned. "You don't remember? You were nearly killed last night!" he told her, his voice a bit louder than usual. "I can't imagine what could've happened to you if I hadn't arrive in time… You really are annoying."
The Chuunin bowed her head down. "Gomen, Sasuke-kun. I didn't mean to─"
"I'm not blaming you for anything, Sakura." He spoke. "Just don't be reckless at a time like this. That man would come back for you because…"
Sasuke stop himself in time. She shouldn't know anything about that man, it would only urge her to hunt him down.
They decided that they wouldn't reveal anything to Sakura about what happened in the past. He silently hoped she doesn't know anything… at least not for now.
They were both silent for a moment. The kunoichi awkward of the situation while the ANBU deep in his thoughts.
Sakura realized that she wasn't wearing her flak jacket. She gave a questioning look at Sasuke.
"I took it off when I was treating your wounds." He said pointing to her bandaged shoulder and arms.
She blushed at the thought. Sasuke-kun treating my wounds?
She stared at him then smiled faintly. "Thank you, Sasuke-kun."
"Hn." was the answer before he turn around. "You can use the shower to freshen up a bit. I'll be outside if you need me." Then he left.
She made her way to the bathroom passing by a picture frame lying on top of a drawer. It was their picture taken a few months ago due to the insistence of the loud-mouthed ramen lover and their perverted sensei. She sighed at the thought. It seemed to her that the memory has been ages away.
She stepped in the bathroom stripping offher clothes. Before taking a shower, she took off the bandage on her wounds then gathered a small amount of green chakra to heal it. A couple of minutes later, she was dressed up with her old clothes again since she doesn't have any spare.
When she got out of the room, she found Sasuke sleeping soundly on the couch.Sakuracame near him.
You fool! Look what you've done to him. She scolded herself as she stared down at her former teammates countenance. his face looks as if he's in pain and his breaths were shallow.
She kneeled beside him and and brushed off some strands of hair on his face. If she was in a normal situation, she would be enjoying that moment being with him.
Sasuke suddenly opened his eyes and met hers. "Sakura?"
"I-I was just.." she stuttered.
He tried to mve but he grimaced in pain.
"Sasuke-kun?" she was alarmed. "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing..." he shrugged of the question.
She looked down and notced something on his shirt. She grabbed the hem and turned it up.
"Oh my! You're bleeding!" she gasps as she was holding his shirt up. She saw that the bandaged used to cover the wound was completely soaked in blood.
She touch it lightly making him winced. The medic-nin expertly let her green chakra flow into the Uchiha's body. The wound slowly closed and the bleeding stopped.
"That should be fine for now..." she said looing up. She found herself staring into his deep obsidian eyes.
"Thanks..." sasuke muttered.
Their faces were only inches apart and Sakura could feel his breath on hers. She was mesmerize but she fought the urge to touch his face with her hands.
I shouldn't be doing this. I have to finish something first. She shook her head and averted her gaze.
"Sakura, look at me." he held her chin up.
She made no resistance and looked at him in silence. Before she knew it, the Sasuke's lips was on hers. Sakura wrapped her arms around his neck. His arms slide around her waist. They were locked in a passionate kiss and they responded to each other like it was the most natural thing to do.
I'm sorry I don't have a knack for writing this kind of scenes (In fact, I suck at it!). Well, reviews are pretty muchneeded right now. I want to know what you think about the story so far.
