MENDING THE PEACES
DISCLAIMER-DO NOT OWE NARUTO…WISH I DID.
CHAPT ER 3. WILL NEVER STOP LOVING YOU
Sakura is tired, scared and upset, she does not know why life seems to always come back and bite her in the ass.
Yup, I said it once and I'll say it again, Destiny hates me with a vengeance.
Once Matsuri showed everyone to their respective rooms, all Sakura could do was lean on the door after shutting it close, she could not believe why Kami hated her so.
She looked around her room. This is where we will be living for the next year-
The room was very spacious, way bigger than her whole apartment in back in Konoha, it was beautiful, and the bed was really big placed on the center of the room. Is that bigger than a king size bed?
The bed seemed very luxurious, decorated with blue and gold silk sheets and lots, lots of pillows matching the sheets, all of them of different shapes and sizes, on the left side of the room there was the biggest window shed ever seen inside a room, it almost occupy the whole wall, the curtains that adorned it where the same dark pale blue with gold as the sheets of the bed, her own bathroom big as well , and lots of drawers for her clothes.
Sakura returned her gaze to the window, it seemed to have a crystal door. A balcony , Great she told herself, this means free entrance for Naruto… I'll have to set up kunai traps on the door.
Sakura walked through the room, watching everything mentally tired, as she was walking ,she dropped her backpack at the feet of the bed and walked to get to the balcony , it was already dark outside, and the village of Suna looked magical under the light of the silver moon.
It's beautiful I think that besides the heat Suna would be a good home,*shivers* it's starting to get cold. She hold herself as if protecting her womb from the chilly breeze.
She was leaning on the balcony looking down, than she turned around and noticed a small table and chairs right next to the door so she sat down, than her eyes looked up at the sky. She could not help but notice the twinkling star that was shining rather beautifully next to the moon, it was the shine of the star that helped her remember of a certain man.
Flashback
"Sakura… if you pay attention you could see it, It's the biggest star next to the moon. The one that shines the most"
All Itachi was receiving from Sakura were glares.
"Look…I can't see anything you damn Uchiha!(more glares)Now tell me what is it you want so I can go back to my cell… and stop treating me like a damn child!"
He looked up at the sky and his stoic features suddenly turned to the softer expression she had ever seen on his expressionless face. So she turned to him and said.
"Besides , you can't even see it…Well at least not yet…maybe in the next couple of sessions, we only started 3 days ago"
She turned back to the moon because she honestly could not see the star Itachi was mentioning, Until she felt strong fingertips holding her chin adjusting her face, and then she saw what he was talking about.(Why is he this way? why is he being so nice? He killed his clan and destroyed Sasuke's life, Why is he showing me this?)
"Do you see it now?" she heard him say
"Yes" was all she could answer
"Good…I cannot see it anymore, but I can remember it very well, Shisui and I used to play at the pound in the compound where everyone used to practice fire jutsu, and we used to try and count stars, but when we found this one we stopped the way it shined made us forget everything, training rules duty, we were just us, two kids looking at the sky, We called it SIRIOUS (dog star) because it was huge like some of the Inuzuka ninkens ,And the first time I saw you back in wind, your eyes reminded me of that star, the way they shined with determination, it was all I could see because I was almost blind back then, so I decided to show you it"
Than his fingers slipped from her chin, and she found herself missing the big warm sensation he was providing her.
Then she remembered she loved Sasuke and having these emotions towards the big bad brother was not good.
So, she turned to him and with the coldest tone she could muster she told him.
"if that's all you bought me here for…than I rather go back inside…stop wasting my time"
"Sakura…someday you will know…but not today" Then Itachi went back to his stoic mask and started walking back inside away from her.
(The creep left me out here!)"H-hey… wait up, y-you don't just leave me standing here… Itachi!"
And she followed him back inside the Akatsuki hide out, not noticing that she could have escaped, not noticing that the reason Itachi brought her outside was to release her.
But she ran, and ran towards him without noticing all those things.
(Foolish little girl) Itachi thought to himself.
End of Flashback
Sakura did not notice that her cheeks started to get wet, and then she lifted her hand towards her cheek and she noticed that she was crying. Itachi … you were trying to tell me back then weren't you?... and I-I was so stupid and heartless … I'm sorry… I-I miss you Itachi … I miss you so much…
She turned her gaze towards the star and started to wonder if somewhere in the sky Itachi was looking at her, watching over her, so she started talking … not to the star itself, but to the person she loved, the person that changed her whole life.
"Oh… Itachi…I'm so tired of it all… I'm so tired of being here … I'm being suppressed by my childhood fears all over again... Why did you have to leave… Sorry for being so selfish, I wish that you were here… Somehow I still feel your presence still lingers here." she suddentle pressed her palm against her chest where her heart should be.
"But my wounds can't heal" my pain is still so real. There's just too much of it Itachi, and I don't even think that time will be able to erase this pain."I-I still remember the time when you cried at night, and how I wiped your tears away, and I know that I made you doubt your choices, your decisions and the love towards your brother"
"I also… also remember the nightmares that you had… So I tried to help you fight away your fears, reassuring you that everything would be ok…I held your hand trough all those months we spent together… Itachi but now… now you are no longer here."
She cried and cried so much without making a sound, she was remembering the love she had, because on those months she was so very happy, and Itachi Uchiha made her fall in love with him, and she was accepted, he accepted and welcomed her love, when all she always knew nothing more than rejection… rejection from Sasuke.
And now all she had were his memories, so she closed her eyes trying to calm herself down and remembered the man that with his intimidating gaze used to captivate her with the resonating light that he used to walk with around, There was always something about Itachi Uchiha that had a touch of light to him.
Not darkness … but light , she should have known.
And she was also upset because he left, he was no longer there… and now she was bound to him… bound by the life he left behind.
But she was upset, not for the outcome, but because she was scared, she was afraid for their child.
Sakura knows that once she falls asleep, she will see him again, because his face still haunts her most pleasant dreams, and in her dreams every time she hears him say "I love you…my sweet Sakura" his voice chaises away all the sanity in her.
And she wishes it was not a dream.
So she tries not to wake up.
Tsunade will never know the real reason she is always late ever since they got back to Konoha after the rescue was because she wished to never wake up. So she always did what she did best.
Blame it on Kakashi-sensei
Sakura opened her eyes and looked back at the star and wonder if the reason it shined more now that before was because of Itachi's unmistakable shine.
"Itachi, I have tried to tell myself that you are gone, and tough you are still with me in soul, I somehow know that I been alone all along, because from the beginning (her voice cracked) I-I knew I would lose you at the end… but now… now I'm going to have your baby…and I-I can't help b-but blame him…a-and now… our baby is in danger"
Knock knock knock knock
I completely forgot that Sasuke was coming over to talk,…Gosh I can't do this… not tonight!...I'll just tell him we will talk tomorrow, besides I'm way too tired for anything else.
So she gather chakra on her palms and tried to get rid of her puffy eyes, wiped her tears away, looked herself in the mirror on the room, and swung the door open ready to get rid of Sasuke…
"Sasuke I ca—" but she was taken by surprise , because she was staring at some rather angry pair of mismatched eyes…
"Kakashi"
