"Sakura," Sasuke called to her. She opened her, now, pale eyelids and smiled when she saw him.
"I'm going to be so much better now," she muttered. "Don't worry."
He nodded.
-
"What my dream is?" Sasuke frowned as Sakura just asked the weirdest question. "Ehm… I'm still not sure, so far my life is just about doing my mission and completing it…" he trailed off as he remembered Matsuo Tabi's new deadline.
Sakura sighed.
"What?" he frowned again.
"You should start making your own goals and dreams," she said, her eyes stared forward into the horizon. "That way, at least you have something you look forward to."
He shrugged. "What about you?" he asked, since she was the one asking him first, she must have had her own dreams.
"I just want to get married and have my own children," she smiled. The smile didn't touch her green eyes and he saw that. Her eyes were, oddly, sad.
He frowned and sighed. She turned to him and smiled again, her eyes narrowed as she smiled so he wasn't able to read them.
He patted her head and smiled back.
-
"What is wrong with you?" he asked, sounding so dumb and straightforward.
Ino rolled her eyes. Sakura eyed her and sighed.
"Let me be alone with him for a sec, Ino," she said. Ino looked at her doubtfully. "Come on, pig, I will be okay. Trust me."
"It's him I don't trust," Ino muttered, so low she was sure none of them could hear, but Sasuke heard. He flinched a little bit so Sakura won't recognize it. Ino eyed Sasuke and sighed. "You better not faint when I come back, forehead."
Sakura smiled and chuckled. Ino stood up and walked out the door.
Sasuke waited patiently for her to answer. He saw her pupil turned grey when she blinked. And then, from her body came four different colored lights. It formed four figures and he knew who these four figures were.
"Another attack?" Neji guessed, he knelt next to Sakura and stroke her cheek gently. Sakura nodded and sighed, she turned her eyes to Sasuke.
"They are actually the reason for my sickness," she said, matter-of-factly. Sasuke stared at the four of them; they all looked down on the floor, looking so guilty and miserable. "There are side effects…"
"Side effects?" he looked back to Sakura, his tone worried. "Other than this?!"
Sakura nodded.
"Kankurou said he see another country attacking soon," Gaara said before Sakura get to say anything. "You want us to go take care of the four sides of the country?" It was obvious he didn't want to hear whatever she was about to tell Sasuke.
Sakura looked thoughtful for a second and then she nodded.
"Don't forget to warn Kakashi-sensei, tell him to have the ANBU members protecting the people just in case an underground ambush happens," she said.
"I'll get Ino, Ten-ten, Hinata, and Shikamaru guarding your room," Naruto said.
"Have them be outside," Sakura said. "I need to talk to Sasuke."
The four of them nodded and they leaped off. Sakura sat herself up; Sasuke hurried to her side and helped her stood up.
"The secret garden will be a much safer place," she said. Sasuke nodded, agreeing with her. He helped her stood, she was so weak. He could feel how hot her body was, she was still unwell. He carried her to the garden.
"Do you want to sit on the grass?" Sasuke asked, he looked at her, his eyes gentle.
Sakura took a deep breath and coughed. She shook her head and leaned her head onto his shoulder.
"No," she murmured. "This is okay."
Sasuke nodded. Other than the fact he enjoyed her in his lap like this, he was worried she might "fell" if he let her go.
"The side effects…" she started after a while. "The first one is I get to see the dead," she chuckled softly as she remembered her conversations with her dead mother.
"The dead?" Sasuke frowned. "Do you see my…"
"I don't see Itachi at all," she answered before he finished. "I don't know why." She frowned. "But I do see my mother." She smiled again.
"Wow," Sasuke commented. "I guess having four Gods in your body gave you that authority."
Sakura laughed and sunk deeper into his embrace.
"But the other side effect is unfair," she muttered.
"Unfair?" Sasuke looked at her, confused. "Why?"
"It shortens my life span," she answered. He was frozen then. His eyes were wide as he stared forward into nothing.
"What?" he stuttered, completely shocked.
She smiled as she buried her face into his chest.
"My father said I can live only up to thirty five years old if they stay in my body forever," she said, her voice shook. Sasuke felt the wetness on where her eyes were on his chest. He felt a big hole in his chest; she was crying. Crying because she was going to die soon. Crying because she won't be able to live normally. Crying because she won't be able to marry and have children.
"How old are you now?" he asked, his voice was shaking.
"I'm the same as you," she answered.
"Seventeen," he muttered his own age, and hers.
Seventeen… in just eighteen years she would be dead. She wouldn't live as long as he.
But, he thought, she wouldn't live longer than five days anyways. I would have to kill her before the week ends.
He winced at the thought; of him ending her live, of him shortening her life span even shorter. From eighteen years to just less than five days.
"I'm sorry," she muttered, crying again. She hugged his waist and cried. He was confused. He loved her, but he had his mission to be done.
If he didn't kill her, someone else would come and do the job for him. Juugo would come and do the job, and she would die a painful death.
"I'm sorry, Sakura," he said.
She looked up; her green eyes were glistening with tears. More tears were still rolling down her cheeks.
"What is it?" she asked, confused. "Why are you sorry?"
I'm going to kill her.
He leaned forward and kissed her. None of them saw this one coming. Even so, he kissed her hungrily, with love and regret.
Her eyes widened when their lips touched. But she smiled to herself; this was what she wanted from him. His love…
She kissed him back, it was unexpected for him but he was glad she did. She opened her mouth and his tongue slid in. She moaned at the contact but continued kissing him. They kept on kissing even when both of their lungs were screaming for air.
"Sa…suke," she muttered, gasping.
"Kill the Princess of Fire Country."
"A week is your time, Sasuke."
A tear rolled down his cheek as he remembered his mission. He couldn't kill her. He loved her too much. But he couldn't bear seeing her die a painful death under Juugo's sword.
He pulled back, looking at her flushed face. He winced as he imagined her covered in blood, screaming in pain. He leaned forward and kissed her again, she was gasping.
"Sasuke," she gasped. "I… need… to…"
He covered her mouth with his; she was soon under his power again. She hugged his neck, pulling him closer to her.
Should I kill her by suffocating her?
He kept on kissing her; she kept on kissing him back. Both of their chests heaved as their air supply shortened.
No!
He pulled back again. Her eyes were covered in tears. He had no idea what the tears were for, either it was tears of joy, tears of sadness, or automatic flowing tears because she was unable to breathe.
She was sobbing and gasping at the same time. Yet, she still managed to smile.
His chest hurt when he saw her smile. He leaned forward and kissed her forehead, crying.
"Sasuke?" Sakura said, confused. Her voice was thick as her lungs were still re-supplying air. "What happened?"
He hugged her, crying into the space on her shoulder.
"I fall in love with you," he said, hugging her tighter.
Sakura smiled and hugged him back.
"Me too," she murmured, giving him a peck on the side of his neck.
"I shouldn't have," he said, he straightened himself up and looked into her eyes.
"What do you mean?" she said, her expression hurt. "I think my father would be okay with that."
He jumped away, leaving a big space between them. Sakura's hands shot forward toward him automatically. Her eyes were hurt, really hurt.
"Sasuke?" she leaned forward.
"I've made my decision," he muttered to himself.
"Decision?" she asked, confused, she leaned forward even more. "What decision?"
He looked at her; his eyes were hurt as well. She felt a big pang in her heart when she saw his expression.
She jumped to her feet and ran to him, hugging him.
"What is it?!" she demanded.
He pushed her back. He stood up, his back facing the sun. She was unable to see his face, only a silhouette of his figure.
I hate Matsuo Tabi. I hate her. I hate how the world is so unfair!
"The decision to kill you myself," he said, his tone cold.

Complain:
Well, I'm impossibly pissed right now. I think I'm gonna turn emo soon. I have assholes as friends, so they're not exactly my friends… I'm depressed… *hhh*
To make things worse, my mom just said because I'm an asshole myself, I got asshole friends. Well excuse moi, but I've done all my chores well! T^T
Although I do feel I'm changing into a really by-the-book person with really annoying angry tone that is always complaining for everything that goes wrong in the world. ALSO, I'm lazy… my bro said Indonesia people are lazy, so it explains it == See? I'm blaming something else for my misbehavior. ARGH! TxT
