Everyone: *groan* not really.
Sakura: My back still hurts
Lili: I don't own Naruto cuz I'm gay
Chapter 14
For the next few days, Sakura avoided Sasuke at all costs. AT ALL COSTS meant that she had to take extreme measures like asking her fan boys (eww) to cover for her. Sasuke was getting more irritated by the day. But who wouldn't? Your friend (or is she :P) who is ignoring you for something you did but you didn't do anything. Sakura would still talk occasionally to the girls and the other guys but once Sasuke joined in, she walked away.
On the fifth day, Sasuke had had enough. It was lunch break, and Sakura was walking with Naruto and Hinata. Sasuke walked up to them. Sakura glanced at him and then hid her eyes with her bangs.
"Catch you guys later" and walked off. However this time, Sasuke followed. Sakura sensed Sasuke's chakra and quickened her pace. Before Sasuke knew it, they were back to the place back when sakura told him all about her. Without warning, Sasuke slammed her hand to the wall.
"SAKURA SNAP OUT OF IT! WHAT IS WRONGWITH YOU!?" Sasuke yelled into her face. Sakura refused to look him in the eyes so she studied her shoes instead.
"I don't need to explain myself to people like you" Sasuke nearly choked on him own saliva.
"People...People like me?" He released her hands and slumped. "I thought...us...we had something... But..." Sasuke started mumbling, in shock. But Sakura interrupted him.
"I DID TOO!" she yelled. Sasuke was taken aback by her. Sakura then looked up at him. He was so surprised by her expression that he took a step back. Her eyes were brimmed with tears but her eyes were filled with anger but also with...sadness and...hurt. Sakura didn't stop.
"I THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE WHO UNDERSTOOD THE REAL ME! I GUESS I WAS WRONG. IN THE END I'M JUST SOME FAN GIRL WHO USED OUR FRIENDSHIP TO GET CLOSER TO YOU! ALL THIS MESS YOUR FAULT!" Sakura shouted. Luckily they were behind the school or her shouting would have attracted people. It was Sasuke's turn to be angry.
"HOW IS IT MY FAULT? YOU'RE THE ONE WHO STARTED IGNORING ME FIRST!" Sakura had her eyes covered with her bangs. She was shaking bad but this time not sadness but with anger and hurt. "TELL ME HOW IT'S MY FAULT?! WELL!? TELL ME!" Sakura looked at him and turn away. She decided it was time to tell him. She began with a shaky voice. "On the day, I collapsed; I had received three blows to my body. The first was the day I received the results from the hospital. The day I didn't want to see any of you. Because I couldn't face you." Sasuke's anger turned to confusion.
"Wha-"
"It turned out that I was drugged. They found the drug in my stomach mixed with some food. When they examined it, it was a cake. Someone had put a drug in my cake in Food tech. The only person cruel enough would be Karin. She's in my class. I thought this would make you feel guilty so I didn't tell you. That was the first blow to my body. My internal Body." Sasuke looked away. It did make him feel guilty. Even though he hated Karin with everything, she was his fan girl so it made him feel responsible.
"Sak-"
"That's not all. The drug made me clumsy and uncoordinated. When I left your house, an S criminal ambushed me. Pein, leader of the Akatsuki, the same criminal organization that your brother is in." Sasuke clenched his fists.
"I fought him and defeated him. Normally it would have taken a lot of energy to defeat someone of his level but back then it took even more energy thanks to the drug. That was the second blow to my body. My physical body." Sasuke was about to speak but she was on a roll.
"The final blow to my body was the most painful. A blow to my heart." Sakura took out her phone. She opened her voice message inbox and opened the message. She gave Sasuke the phone. When he listened to the message, his face turned white.
"Look slut, I know you're just some fan girl and you annoy the hell out of me. Just do me a favour and yourself a favour, GO AWAY AND STALK SOMEONE ELSE! I HATE YOU! YOU GOT THAT? I AM LEAVING THIS AS A VOICE MESSAGE ON TO THIS NUMBER SO YOU WILL REMEMEBER NEVER TO CALL AGAIN YOU UNDERSTAND?" It was his voice. He clearly remembered that day. He was worried about Sakura and when he heard the weak voice he assumed it was a fan girl so he reacted that way. He looked at Sakura with a look filled with regret and sadness.
"Sakura... I..." Her phone was in Sasuke's hand which was lying limply at his side. Sakura shook her head, took her phone back and turned so that her back was facing him.
"I was losing consciousness; I thought I would call you. And I was given this response. How would you feel if I did that you?" You could see the tears that ran down Sakura's face.
"Sakura..." Sasuke felt as if he could die. He had hurt her in all ways possible. If she had done this to him, he would have reacted the exact same way. Maybe even worse. "I...just...assumed"
"I am not responsible for your assumptions. Either way, you have hurt me...IT FREAKING HURT SASUKE!" she shouted the last bit. Wind blew her hair. Sasuke looked down, in regret. Damn he regrets so much! There was silence. After a while, Sakura broke it.
"I'm leaving Konoha. I told Fuka I'm going meet him tomorrow tonight. After I'm through with him, I'm going back to Suna." She started walking away.
"Wait Sakura...Sakura...SAKURA!" Sakura didn't look back. Sasuke sank to his knees and he let the tears slip. He had lost her, just when he had just gotten hold of her.
Lili: WAHH! THAT WAS THE MOST MOVING SCENE I HAVE EVER SEEN
Sakura: Sasuke, you can get up now
Sasuke: To think I did that...*shudder* Review, that's all I'm going to say
