Someday
Chapter Seven, Reasons to Run
Gaara POV, aged 14
I don't know what ticked me off more.
The fact he kissed her.
Or the fact that she kissed him back.
I guess both really pissed me off.
I was supposed to ask her out!
I landed a punch on Sasuke's face.
My visson was going red.
I was supposed to be her first kiss!
Sasuke awakened his sharingan.
Our fight became serious.
Sasuke readied his Chidori and I readied my sand.
We charged at eachother head on.
"STOP!" Sakura yelled.
Chuncks of rock came up from the ground and knocked Sasuke and I away from eachother.
"Please stop... Stop fighting.. I-I can't bare to watch you both fight.."Sakura sobbed.
Her back was turned away from us.
We rose up and approached her.
"Sakura.." I said and reached my hand out to touch her shoulder.
A colum of fire surrounded her suddenly.
I flinched back.
"Sakura.. I.." I whispered.
"I'm sorry Gaara... I love you both.. So, so much..." She said and turned to us.
"But you don't know which of us you love more.." Sasuke said.
He looked down at the ground.
"I love you Sakura. With all of my heart... And.. I know you'll choose the right person." Sasuke said.
I clenched my fist's.
"Yeah.. You'll pick the right guy Sakura." I said.
If she picks him... I don't think I'll handle it well.
"I need some time." Sakura said.
Sakura walked away from us and left us at the trianing grounds.
Yakoto-sensei apeared.
"I had hoped this wouldn't happen to you as well.. Looks like history has repeated it's self.." He said.
"What are you talking about?" Sasuke asked.
Yakoto looked at us sternly.
"Just don't make the same mistakes I did..." Yakoto said and then left.
I looked over at Sasuke.
His head was turned down.
And before I knew it, he was gone.
But where did he go?
Third person POV
Sasuke followed Sakura to a small bridge.
"Sakura..." Sasuke said.
"Sasuke? What are you-" Sakura turned to Sauke.
"Please. Please choose me. If you do, I'll always make you happy. I'll never leave you and I'll be with you forever." Sasuke said.
Sakura's eyes darkend. Her back turned to him once again and she leaned on the side of the bridge.
"She said that too you know... She always said she'd stay. That nothing would take her away from me. That she's be with me forever." Sakura said.
Sasuke gave a puzzled look.
"Who?" He asked.
Sakura went silent.
"My mother.." She whispered.
Sasuke stared at her.
"The mother of a Haruno child that is born with the elemental curse, will either be protective of the child, or abandon it completly. My mother chose to abandon me. I was five. She always told me that she loved me, and that she wasn't scared of me because I was her daughter. And that no matter what, she would never leave me." Sakua said.
Sasuke watched the young kunouichi with sorrow filled eyes.
"But even then, I knew. I knew she didn't mean any of it. She just thought that it was what mother's were supposed to do. She never did it out of love. My mother hated me." She said.
"Sakura.."
"You know, the worst part is, my father left too. He'd hated me for what I was. He hated how I made my mother leave. He'd said once, when he was drunk, that if I was never born, his life would be better and that he'd be happier without me." Sakura said.
Her shoulder's were shaking and silent sobs escaped her lips.
"I tried to be a good daughter! I tried to make her happy! She just never wanted me! Why did she have to go?" Sakura yelled and fell to her knees.
"When I told her I loved her, I ment it with all my heart... I always loved my mother.. Why couldn't she just take the time to know me.. Maybe she would have stayed... Maybe she would have loved me.." Sakura said as more tears fell.
Sasuke's eyes widened at Sakura's histeric's.
"Am I that frightning? Am I really that much of a monster? So much that my own mother was afriad of me.." Sakura said.
Sasuke knew he could never understand her pain. He knew Gaara would only be the one to understand her fully. But he couldn't take seeing her so sad.
Sasuke pulled her up from the ground. He circled his arms around her middle and pulled her tightly to his chest.
"Don't cry... Please.. I can't bare to see you so sad." Sasuke murmered.
Sakura's sobbing slowly stopped.
"Sasuke... I.."
"Shh.. It's ok." Sasuke said.
Sasuke held her tighter to him.
"I love you Sakura." Sasuke said. "I truly love you."
Sakura's mind went then to Gaara and Sasuke.
Gaara, Sasuke... You've been my best friends for the longest time...
"I'll always be your bestest best friend EVER!" -Gaara
"And so will I Saku-chan!" -Sasuke
Always protected me.
"Nobody hurts my Sakura! Nobody!" -Gaara
"I'm gonna cream you, ya little jerks and make you wish you never even looked at her!" -Sasuke
Why? Why did I have to fall for them both?
"I know you'll pick the right guy." -Gaara.
"I love you Sakura. With all of my heart... And.. I know you'll choose the right person" -Sasuke
Sakura broke away from Sasuke's embrace.
"I'm sorry.." Sakura sobbed and ran away once again.
She didn't know where she'd go.
She decided on hiding ontop of one of the tallest buildings in Suna.
She sighed.
When did things become of hard? - Sakura
"Well. We have found you." I heard someone say.
Sakura turned around to see two men. They both wore long black cloaks with red clouds on them.
One of the men had orange hair and alot of piecings. The other had blue skin and looked like a shark.
"Who are you?" Sakura growled and got into a defensive position.
"No need to be alarmed. You are Haruno Sakura. Correct?" The orange hair man asked.
Sakura nodded slowly.
"You are Akatsuki members. You're wearing the same cloak." Sakura said.
"Smart girl. You still remember when your mother was an Akatsuki." The shark chuckled.
Sakura growled.
"What do you want?" Sakura snapped.
"We are here to offer you a place in our organisation. My name is Pein. I am the leader. This is my suborinate, Kisame Hoshigaki." He said.
"Why would I want to become a missing nin and run around with criminals." Sakura snorted.
"You see, your mother was killed on a mission a year ago." He said.
Sakura froze.
M-mother... Is dead... - Sakura
"It was her wish for her only daughter to take her place." Kisame said.
Sakura could barely breath.
"So, will you join us, in place of your mother?" Pein asked.
Mother wanted it. Mother was thinking of me. Mother.. Mother... - Sakura
Sakura dropped her stance.
"I will... Join you." She said.
She left after to get what she needed before she went with them.
I'll just stop by the house.
Sakura arrived at her house and stuck some clothes, money and medicine into a bag.
Food.
She went to the kitchen.
There on the counter was a box of Pocky.
"Hey Gaara, look what I have." Sakura sang and waved the pocky in Gaara's face.
"POCKY! GIMME!" Gaara yelled and tackled her onto the couch, grabing for the chocolate covered treats.
She took the pocky and some other food.
As she walked out of the kitchen she saw a picture on a table.
Our team photo.
Yakoto-sensei was attempting to hold Sasuke and Gaara back from eachother.
Sasuke and Gaara were facing eachother and glaring.
Sakura was in the middle, smiling and oblivious to Sasuke and Gaara's stand off.
Gaara hand his fingers laced with Sakura's while Sasuke was holding her arm.
After that, she went for the door, taking one last look at her home. The only real home she's ever had.
She then made her way to the village gates.
Not even a goodbye.. Like mother like daughter. Now thats one hell of an annoying curse. She thought.
"Where are you going?" Sakura heard someone ask.
Sakura's eyes widened, but she didn't dare turn around.
