Chapter Seven
Secrets
"Before you say forever, know the definition of it."
"Let our future take flight, escape from the Darkness and spread your Light."
"It means an endless period of time, Now would you believe me if I said I love you forever?"
In order to grasp things with my own hands
I've lived up 'til now by calmly hurting others
But what's been left behind
In these hands of mine is nothing but solitude
I won't wish for anything, as long as you're with me
( Entire Chapter Will Be Written in Sasuke's P.O.V unless stated otherwise )
Pain just hurts so much. It's like getting a knife stabbed in your heart. Maybe even worse, but the pain is definitely evident when your heart feels like it's about to be torn into pieces. And not physically either, just emotionally could literally make you feel like you want to die. And the thing that is making my used-to-be beating heart being torn is the very person standing in front of me, smiling at me. Normally this would make anyone happy, the person you love so dearly just smiling at you but no, she doesn't even remember me.. no matter how many times she may smile , she won't smile like who she used to be before. Unless we make a move and regain her lost memories.
It's been a week and no progress has been made. And what made matters worse was that there were some people who are seem to be trying to get passed my barrier that I had put up around our house. Why? To protect Sakura, I don't want anyone touching her after she had lost her memories, hell she doesn't even remember me or anyone else that currently reside in our house. I had told everyone to move in for a while with Sakura and I, to see if she could remember anything but so far nothing had happened except the part where Ino was bawling her eyes out and Tenten and Hinata were emotionally hurt.. hell I'm sure everyone was. No one was even expecting Sakura to forget anyone.
I sighed as I was thinking too much again, then again I couldn't possibly be blamed for that. I mean in the current situation were in how could you not think? I glanced up at the moon and sighed again, it was bright against the black sky. I frowned lightly at how cruel life could be sometimes. Seven days and nothing had even made Sakura remember a thing. We tried everything we possibly could already. Is it really over just like that? I clenched my fist tightly together revealing the white knuckles as my eyes shifted into an even darker color than their original dark blue, almost completely black.
"Ne, Sasuke, what are you doing out here by yourself in the cold?"
I snapped back to reality and blinked, glancing up to see Sakura in her pajamas which consisted of a large t-shirt and her underwear. She had a slightly bed head style and was rubbing her eye and at the same time clutching onto a pillow as she stared at me with the tired eye she wasn't currently rubbing.
"I'm just thinking.." was all I could respond with. What am I suppose to say? 'Oh nothing, just trying to make you remember your damn memories so we could spend the rest of our lives happily'. That's ridiculous.
"About what?" At this she was quite curious and probably woke up slightly. I watched her move to sit on the arm rest of the chair I'm currently sitting in.
I glanced back up at the moon, "Just things."
"Mm, Don't get too upset over it."
At this point I raised an eyebrow at her, I had never said I was upset in any sort of way, "What?"
"Sasuke, even though I don't know exactly who you are I know I'm missing something but I have no idea what. And maybe fate had did this to me for a reason, after all everything you do has to have a reason. I had tried trying to figure what exactly I was missing but I couldn't, I just didn't know why. And then I realized that if I continue pausing my life to figure out something that is in the past then my life would've been meaningless. I already plan on dropping everything that I do not know and continue on smiling happily towards my future. So Sasuke," At this she turned her attention from the moon and towards me with a calm face, "Don't lose sleep over this, you should also move on."
If only she knew, if only she knew how much this is hurting me right now, how much those words had pierced my heart a million times. If only she knew.
Before I could even think straight, my body moved on its own and got up from the chair immediately and grabbed her and pulled her into a kiss, my arms wrapping themselves around her waist tightly. As soon as I got my senses back I didn't even bother removing myself away from her. I needed this, I really needed her. Even though what she may be saying is true, I don't think I could ever move on from her.
What surprised me even more is that she just wrapped her arms around my neck and responded. I had thought she would've pulled away but I made no move to object to the actions she took. I inwardly smiled, this was just like how it used to be, under the black sky with the moon shining down on us and simply being in each other's arms and our lips touching.
Just like how it used to be.
"Sir we have tried almost every possible way to invade the house but no progress has been made."
"I don't care how, or what you do, I just want that girl!"
"Sir, pardon me for my rudeness, but what is so special about that girl? She's just under the protection of vampires and the lover of one and with pink haired and green eyes."
The man hissed, "You know nothing! That girl is special! You have no idea how much power she actually has, hell none of them do!"
"S-sorry sir!"
"Get the hell out of my office!"
"R-right away, Sir!"
The subordinate rushed out of the office and just as he opened the door a lady stepped in, her glasses balanced on her nose as she glared at the subordinate who saluted her in respect before disappearing.
The women raised an eyebrow at the man sitting down behind his desk on his chair, "What's got you so riled up?"
"That barrier won't go down! And there's no other way to go through it unless we destroy it!"
"Have you tried telling him who he really is, what status he actually has?"
"I never thought of that, it's too sudden and he won't believe me."
"Really? What if you make an offer to him saying that if he trusts you, that girl's memories will return."
"Do you really think he'll go that far for just that little girl who he doesn't even know about except that she's human?"
"I'm a hundred and ten percent sure he'll do it."
"I'm trusting your words on this, Karin."
Karin smirked as she pushed her glasses up slightly, "Don't worry, as soon as you tell him everything then there would be no need to use force, simply pursue him is enough, plus that girl is his weakness."
"I understand," The man clicked a button on his phone, "Send a notice to the army and tell them I'll be arriving shortly to announce something very important."
"Right away sir."
The man removed his finger from the phone before turning towards Karin again, "So, Are you planning on joining us reviving him?"
Karin scoffed and flipped red hair behind her, "Who the hell do you think I am, Danzo? Of course I am."
The man, now known as Danzo, smirked, "Ah, my apologies, of course, your his daughter after all."
"Of course, and I swear," Karin slammed her hand on the desk as her eyes flashed with greed, "I will be Queen."
"Sasuke!"
I looked up from the glass of wine I was currently drinking towards the girl who had stolen my heart but also lost it, "What is it?"
"When can we go to school? It's so boring here!" I listened to her complaints in that whiny tone of voice she was using which I always found adorable.
I merely sighed before smirking at her slightly, "Well, I don't know when we'll be able to take you back to the school yet, after all we're on vacation still," That was a lie, vacation was long gone but I refuse to send her off back to the school, it was too dangerous, especially now, knowing the fact that something or someone was trying to invade our very own home right now but thankfully my barrier is still holding up, "If you really want to go out so badly I'll take you out tomorrow around the town or something but not today."
I smirked lightly as I knew, even without looking at her she was pouting, "Mou, Sasuke! You said that yesterday and the day before that too!"
"Tomorrow for sure."
"Promise?"
"I promise."
"Really? Thanks so much Sasuke! I'm looking forward to tomorrow! I'll leave you alone now!" I knew she was smiling brightly and I could even hear her mumbling to herself as she walked away from me, "Mm I wonder where Ino-chan went.."
I sighed, I honestly did not know whether or not I would be able to take her out tomorrow or not, I really didn't want to put her in harms way at all but then again I did promise her. I frowned and mentally slapped myself on the forehead, Uchiha Sasuke, you really need to think before you speak sometimes.
"Alright listen up men, today is the day where we will retrieve Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke, both of them. Failure is not an option today." Danzo shouted to his men as all of them stood in straight rows.
"Yes, Sir!"
"Now, if you would listen, Karin would like to say a few words." Danzo nodded towards the red head as she gazed over at that army before frowning slightly.
"Now listen up all of you, all we have to do is capture both of them and then manipulating them will not be hard. However, do not," Karin glared at them, "Do not harm either of them, if you were to kill the other then let's just say your life will end right then and there and it won't be by our hands but by theirs. So watch your movements. The best way to do it is capture Uchiha Sasuke first then Haruno Sakura, the girl will abide our requests to save Uchiha Sasuke, even without having her memories she will do it, I'm positive about this."
"Yes, Ma'am!"
"Good, any questions?"
One of the soldiers raised his arm up, "What is it?" Karin snapped at him which caused him to flinch slightly but nonetheless manage to utter out his question, "Why don't we capture Haruno Sakura first? Wouldn't she be easier to be capture?"
Men around him began to mutter and some even nodded in agreement but all Karin did was merely stare down at the poor guy who had ask the question, she scoffed and glared at him, "Honestly, there really is only stupid people, the reason why we're capturing Sasuke first is the fact that Sakura would not be able to do anything, and I highly doubt Sakura would be so easily captured first because of the fact that she has the very own Demon Fox Vampire as one of her protectors also the fact that if we even dared to lay a hand on Sakura with Sasuke around then Sasuke will most likely kill us all before anything else could happen." The man made no move to question anymore as he saluted her before falling back into his line.
"Anymore questions?" Karin hissed out as no other man was brave enough to speak up or they were all too frightened to ask her, "Good, then let's get started."
Danzo smirked, things were going along with his plan and soon enough both him and the girl would be under his hands and would be played like a puppet tied to strings.
Soon.. very soon.
"Naruto.."
"What is it you stupid demon?"
"Watch it. Haruno Sakura is in danger."
At this Naruto dropped the glass of wine he had in his hands, letting it fall to the ground and shatter into pieces, the liquid splashing, "What?"
"Both Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura's secrets will be revealed if we don't hurry."
"God damnit! And you tell me this now ?!" Naruto hissed out as he ignored the broken glass and liquid, dashing towards the destination where Neji, Shikamaru, Ino, Hinata and Tenten were.
"I didn't pay attention to it, I thought it was just something irrelevant."
"Damnit!"
"Where the hell are you going? Go to where Uchiha and Haruno are!"
"I'm going to have to get back up first! How much time do we have left?"
"Less than thirty minutes."
"Lend me your powers you demon!"
"As you wish."
At this, immediately a red glow surrounded the blonde hair boy as his already fast sprinting was even made faster.
"I have to hurry.."
This flowing hymn, this warm tear
spill and try to live as much as they can.
These Scarlet Eyes look at the sky,
and I walk the road leading to the future
they found.
The words we once vowed vividly resurrect,
the memories it finally touched upon, are the proof of the Thorny Path we took.

"I'm saying, you and her, can both destroy the world within a snap of your finger."
