Cursed Sacrifice

Hatred and Change (Chapter 8)

"Papa! We bought tons of items! What a joy!" a kid said.

"Of course! For my little kid's birthday and for every day he will have, I will make you the happiest boy on earth." A man said.

"Well, it would not be the happiest day if I kill the happiest boy." A kid said.

"Son? Why are you saying that?" A man said.

Then, the boy transformed into an escaped prisoner.

"Because, I'm not your son. I would be the happiest boy if I would have your treasured coins. So give me the coins!" Yuchi said.

"Yes, sir! Just give me back my son!" A man said.

"I already buried him under the grounds." Yuchi said.

Then, Yuchi took all the man's stuff and went on his way. He left the man, crying and weeping. Yuchi was back with his fellow prisoners. Smiling with a big bag of coins on his back.

"Guys! I have many coins here! We can buy whatever we want!" Yuchi said.

"Wow! How did you manage to get these?" Lian said.

"I had to do what I had to do." Yuchi said.

Then, all of them laughed.

"Laughter and joy. Such stupid little kids." Atzui said

Meanwhile…

"Sakura…what's wrong?" Sasuke said.

"I want to go back…I feel weak…I'm so scared right now…I don't even know what I must do…Fulfill our mission or go back and investigate on my family's past?" Sakura said.

"It was just a ninja who wants to have fun." Sasuke said.

"HAVE FUN?! HAVE FUN?! DON'T YOU THINK THAT SOME STUPID NINJA WOULD DO THAT JUST BECAUSE HE WANTS TO HAVE FUN?!" Sakura said.

"He was a prisoner, Sakura. He would enjoy it. He's a persecutor." Sasuke said.

"THEN HOW COME HE KNOWS MY NAME?! HOW COME HE LOOKED AT ME AS IF I KILLED HIS LIFE?!" Sakura said.

"Calm down!" Sasuke said.

"NO! I DON'T WANT TO CALM DOWN! I DON'T WANT TO! I DON'T WANT TO! I DON'T WANT TO!" Sakura said.

"WHY ARE YOU SO MAD AT ME??!! WHY??!! BECAUSE I'M NOT AS SMART AS NEJI??!!" Sasuke said.

"AND NOW A GUY WHO DOESN'T EVEN KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING NOW JOINS THE TOPIC!" Sakura said.

"I'M JUST BEING HERE FOR YOU!" Sasuke said.

"WHY?" Sakura said.

"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!" Sasuke said.

Then, Sakura blushed.

"No, you don't." Sakura said.

"I love you. I'm not bluffing. I'm telling you this right now because I don't want to lose you." Sasuke said.

"What have I got to lose?! I've waited for you for so long! All I get is your selfish expressions! And now you're telling me this out of nowhere?!" Sakura said.

"Let me explain!" Sasuke said.

"NO! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO EXPLAIN! MY FAMILY'S IN SOME TRAGIC SITUATION RIGHT NOW THAT I DON'T EVEN KNOW BEFORE! MAYBE, YOU'RE RIGHT. MAYBE YOU'RE NOT AS SMART AS NEJI. IF THAT'S THE CASE, I WON'T BE NEEDING YOU." Sakura said.

"Sa…" Sasuke said.

"I WILL GO FIND SOMEONE WHO WOULD TEAM UP WITH ME! NOT WITH SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO HAVE A SERIOUS AND NICE CONVERSATION!" Sakura said.

Then, Sakura walked out. Sasuke looked down and punched the ground.

"WHY?!" Sasuke said.

A tear went down from his eyes. Then he sat down and continued punching the ground thinking over and over of their fight.
