Disclaimer: I love the contrast of Sasuke and Sakura. Love the way they are so different yet seem
to fit so well. Love you Kishimoto for making such great characters…. even if I do kind of
wreck Sasuke's real character.. haha. that's why I don't own naruto I suppose.
Sakura stood outside the Hokage tower.
Deep breathes.
In
Out
Breathe.
She swiped at her cheeks.
Put a soft smile on her face.
She felt the dried tears on her face
Freezing her expression.
Could she keep this smile?
Could she make sure that there was no one to see her pain?
Day by day?
She had done it once before
But even then there were people who saw
Straight through her sweet face
Digging into her true feelings
Because how was she to smile
When her love was missing from her life?
Now it was even more difficult.
After finally getting what she wanted
Finally getting what she needed
Finally getting him…
He was taken from her
She walked towards the place where prisoners were held
At least she could see him
Maybe kiss him through the bars
They could get through this
They could get through anything
Love would allow them to survive this separation
Sakura steeled her will
She had waited before
Maybe it would not be as bad as before
Perhaps at least being able to see him
Being able to whisper her words of love in his ear
Would keep them both strong
They couldn't lock him up forever.
He was just a lost little boy
He found his way again
Because of her
She had influence in the village
There were tons of children whose parents owed her
Double, triple shifts
Days without sleep
She would set him free.
One way or another.
….
….
Sasuke was being driven insane
His efforts to remember Sakura
Only reopened the wound of losing her
Over
And
Over
And
Over
Every simple thought of the way she walked
Every memory of her voice
Its soft lilt when she said his name
The way his heart would come alive when she was near
That special way she made him feel so uncomfortable
Not knowing how to act around her
The feelings that she evoked in him
Always catch him unawares
Never knowing to gush out with sappy words
Or to try and eradicate the source
To try and distance himself
From all the confusion
The uncertainty
Accepting her
Had been the most difficult
And yet the most rewarding decision
She had eclipsed everything else
All of his other paths were blacked out
He chose her
That was all he wanted
All he needed in his life.
Just her.
And now he couldn't have her
Now he wouldn't have her
Not like this
Not when being with him would only drag her down
That was the problem with him
He was destruction
She was light
Goodness
Love
Mending
She healed
He hurt
He would only be a nuisance to her
Only get in the way of her life
As he had so many times before
His cutting words had beaten her down
It was her own strength
That allowed her to stand straight and tall
She was so different from the weak Sakura of his past
The one who never fought for anything
The one who tapped into his protective instinct
So strongly that he would put his life on the line for her in an instant.
So strongly that even when it should have been physically impossible
He caught her in mid air
He fought for her
She was his strength
What was he going to do without her in his life?
But he would have to sever his bond with her
To protect her from him
There was no way he could allow himself to
To keep her
He would kill her in some way if he stayed with her
There was no other option for him now
He had to let her go
He buried his head in his hands
The thought of never seeing her again
His heart burned itself to ash in his chest
He felt himself breaking apart.
But this was his only option.
He was trapped.
….
….
She glared at the guard
"Are you seriously going to test me on this?" she spat
The guard was slightly impressive in that he didn't flinch
He must know what she could do
Even now she noted his slight change in position
He was bracing himself
She added more anger to her eyes
Letting her fury make him cower
"You're making it very difficult for me not to hurt you. Let. Me. In."
The guard winced at her decimal.
"You're being ridiculous. I could knock you out with my pinky finger."
The guard sighed.
She gave him another glare.
He stepped aside
"Thank you."
She stepped inside.
The hall was dark and she tried to ignore the catcalls as she walked by
Where was the silent cell?
That was the one Sasuke would be in.
It was the corner cell
Next to two empty ones.
He looked up past his bangs when she walked up.
"Sasuke"
She couldn't help the tears welling up
He was so forlorn in there
So alone
So in the dark
Covered
Surrounded by the darkness
She stepped up to the bars
"Sasuke"
He didn't move from his place
"I'm going to get you out of here. I promise."
He looked away from her face
She wanted to touch him
Comfort him
Reassure him that everything would work out eventually.
Because it would.
It had to.
There was no other option for her.
"Sasuke… I will get you out of here. One way or another."
His head shot up.
He looked straight into her eyes
She couldn't bear to see the emotions in his eyes
Longing
Fear
Love
Hurt
Then his expression flattened out
A sneer made its way to his lips.
"Leave. You're a weak little girl out of her league. You're nothing. You're nothing to me"
Sakura stepped back.
This wasn't Sasuke.
"You can't help anyone. You can't save me. You never could."
Sakura shook her head.
No.
Not again.
Not this.
Fissures began to work themselves into her heart
He had always known how to break her.
How to destroy her.
But he had never used his power like this.
Never torn apart her self-esteem like this
Every other sharp word had been encouragement in disguise
Had pushed her to be her best.
"You're just a flashy distracting bauble that Konoha uses as bait. You're no better than a whore."
Sakura felt her temper flare.
"Excuse me? I didn't know anything about what Tsunade was planning. She used my feelings against
us both."
"Yes I'm sure you're in so much pain. I don't see you in a jail cell. Get out of my sight. You pathetic
dirty fake. I feel like I'm getting diseased just looking at your slutty form. I never want to see you
again."
Sakura couldn't feel her anger anymore.
She couldn't feel anything.
She knew how it worked.
She would have to get through the shock of it.
Then without warning
Pain.
So much pain that you considered ending it all right there.
Sakura just stared at the man she loved.
"If you would rather I leave then there is nothing I can do. I won't force you to be around someone
you obviously hate so deeply. I will always love you Sasuke."
He couldn't look at her.
…..
…..
Ahhhh I love a sharp angry hurting Sasuke. So much fun to write. How can you not love the angst.
And poor Sakura. Can't even imagine the pain of that.
Review my loves!
