EIGHTH CHAPTER:

The Seafood Forest

Each of us represents a star in the sky:

Sometimes we shine with the rest.. sometimes we twinkle alone.

And sometimes we fall and make someone's dreams come true.

6:43 p.m.

The root was starting to surrender. Her hand was slowly slipping.

Oh my god.. I don't want to die. I still.. I still.. I still want to spend my lifetime with..

"Sasuke-kun!!" She fell.

She closed her eyes. This was definitely the end for her. Goodbye Konoha. Goodbye Cruel World. Goodbye.. Mama, papa. Goodbye Ino-pig, Neji-kun, Hinata-chan. Goodbye Kakashi-sensei. Goodbye Tsunade-sama. Goodbye everyone. Goodbye Naruto. Goodbye..

"Sasuke-kun.." A tear fell from the side of her eyes. Her world crumbles. She resolved to die happily as..

Sakura Haruno Uchiha.

6:12 p.m.

"Rika-sama, are you sure about this? I mean, we had totally ruined the wedding already. Why do we need to get their rings?" A fangirl with blonde hair.. not INO spoke softly.

"Use your brain Naoko! The rings symbolize their bond. I won't let anyone have Sasuke-kun, especially Haruno Sakura."

"Yes Ma'am." The other fangirls nodded and followed Rika, the President Fangirl.

They silently tiptoed on the forest grounds looking for Sasuke and Sakura. Sweats were visible on their faces, clearly that they were having a hard time doing the job.

They looked everywhere. Sasuke-kun is good in hiding.

"Rika-sama? It's getting late and dark. It would be dangerous lurking around the forest. I think we need to go home. This plan was completely senseless to begin with!"

"Yes, Rika-sama, Ukiyo is right. Our search is pointless.. we can never find them. I can't even see the ground clearly. Wild animals might attack us!"

Rika, the President Fangirl, stopped. Her back was facing the other three fangirls. Some fangirls went home, others were fetched by their parents. Only the top officers of Sasuke's fans club remained.

"Are you.." Her voice was soft.. angelic.

"..."

"Are you questioning my ideas?" Her angelic and soft voice turned into a deadly and fierce tone.

"No Ma'am. It's just that--"

"Enough!"

"Yes, Ma'am." The other three fangirls bowed their heads in defeat. They can never win over their supremacy. They had also vowed loyalty to Rika and they will follow her in whatever she says and do.

"This is for Sasuke-sama's sake." Naoko whispered to herself. Patience and everything will be alright.

"That's good." Rika smiled.

Ukiyo was about to say something but was hushed by Rika. She was definitely sure that she heard something behind the bushes. And the voices are pretty familiar.

"Ssh. Silence. Let's see who are the owners of these very familiar voice."

Slowly, they went behind the bushes. Rika's smile turned into a triumphant smirk. Bingo. Alas, Sasuke and Sakura.. arguing on something not so clear to them. But they are very sure it was a pretty heated up argument.

"Shut up! Our marriage is meaningless. The sole purpose of this marriage is business. So, you can divorce me when I turn 18 and you can live happily ever after with that Yumi of yours!" She pulled away vigorously.

Sasuke, noticing that she was getting hurt, let go of her. She hurriedly stomped off to wonderland.

"Damn annoying girl." He murmured and smirked at her childish actions. He then ran off looking for her. He really married a very interesting lady.

"What are we going to do now, Rika-sama?"

"Find first the forehead girl."

"What about Sasuke-sama?"

"We'll look for him later, Haruno is our first target."

"Yes, Ma'am."

You can ran but you can never hide from us, Haruno Sakura.

6:15 p.m.

The other part of the forest, the opposite part where Sasuke and Sakura were in.. Naruto and company were there looking for the two of them.

"Where do you think Sasuke-teme and Sakura-chan are?" Naruto holding an oversized flashlight asked, pointing the beam of light to every single faces in front of him.

"It's getting really dark and we have been searching for half an hour now, we still haven't seen them!" Ino whined.

"I think we're lost." Neji said boredly.

"We are walking in circles!"

"Yes, we are definitely lost." Shikamaru added.

"This is your fault Naruto."

"What do you mean by that, long hair dudette? The sign was pointing here! It was written in big bold letters, See Food Forest, you heard the old man say that he saw them running towards the See Food Forest."

"What the fuck! This is See Food Forest? The old man said Seafood Forest." Tenten's voice were tired and annoyed. What the hell! They had just wasted half an hour looking for somebody who wasn't even there in the first place!

"What do you mean by Seafood? The one word Seafood as in shrimps and lobsters or the two-word See Food as in to perceive with the eye?"

"Naruto!?" Everyone yelled at Naruto except for Neji, Gaara, Lee and Hinata.

"I'm sorry okay! The old man wasn't that specific! It's not my fault!"

"What do we do now?" Hinata asked timidly. They were obviously lost, the sky is dark and there were creepy sounds engulfing the whole See Food Forest.

"Let's just go to the other side. Look for them there and go home."

"That's a good idea."

Ino and Tenten were still glaring daggers at Naruto for being so stupid. Naruto sweatdropped at the actions of the two. He chuckled nervously putting in mind to never eat seafoods again.

Kakashi and Itachi decided to stay in the Church until all the fangirls are out of sight. Naruto, Hinata, Shikamaru, Tenten, Ino, Neji, Gaara and Lee went to the other forest a.k.a Sea Food Forest to look for them.

They will just call the two (Kakashi and Itachi), plus both the parents of Sasuke and Sakura.. then Iruka, Gai, Kurenai and Tsunade.. if they see them (Sasuke and Sakura). Hopefully, they could find them soon.

"Be optimistic my dear friends! Youth will help us find them!"

Hopefully.

6:27 p.m.

"What the fuck." Sasuke had just stepped on a dog's poo. Yuck. Totally disgusting. Was he that awful in his past life to deserve all these? He was living a peaceful life minus the fangirls, minus Itachi, minus the annoying parents.

It was still peaceful. He was contented with his daily routine. Go to school, tease Haruno then go home.

That was it.

His life becomes a mess after he was engaged and then married in the age of 15 (turning to 16 on the 23rd of July) but although he didn't complain with the fact that he's marrying Haruno, but the wedding disaster was too much.

He smirked remembering her very annoyed face. That girl. Interesting. Her pissed off face was like a screensaver to his eyes. Wow, he had never seen her so annoyed in her life.

"I need to find her soon."

6:34 p.m.

"Finally, Seafood Forest!" Naruto gleefully announced to everybody. They were dead tired, they had walked kilometers just to reach the freaking Seafood Forest.

"I'm so tired. I wanna go home!" Ino whined childishly.

"Tell me about it."

"What to do now?" Hinata asked, she looked at her watch. It's 6:34 p.m. They were supposed to be at the reception which is held in the Uchiha Mansion by 7 p.m. Though, the guests might probably understand a short delay due to the disturbances.

But as much as possible, they must arrive at the reception by 7.

"We really need to find the two.. and fast!" Tenten announced, realizing the short time before the reception starts.

They were leisurely strolling around the forest as if they were tourists or something. Due to the darkness and the lack of street lights.. er-- forest lights, they can't possibly have a fast pace.

"Don't tell me, we're lostagain." Neji muttered. Is it just his feelings or are they lost again?

"No, of course not! Because of my navigational skills! We are definitely on the right track! For the YOUTH will set us free! Be optimistic my dear, lovely friends! Life is good, all the time! All the time, Life is good!" Lee posed a triumphant victory sign.

"Well I doubt that." Shikamaru boredly said.

"Ssh." Gaara silenced them all. Of course, with his sshh and his creepy eyes.. everyone obliged.

"I think I hear something."

"Me too." Neji agreed.

All of them zippered their mouths even the obnoxious and loud mouth Naruto. Their ears were attentive and kept searching for the source of the soft whispers.

"Sakura-chan? Come out. Come out. Wherever you are!"

"Yohoo, Sakura-chan!"

"Sakura-chan? You can hide, but not for long!"

"Oh-em-gee!" Lee squeeled like a girl while Tenten covered his mouth immediately, stopping him from revealing their hiding place. Damnit, troublesome fan girls.

"They are looking for Sakura!" Ino said softly.

"Then let's just have to see who gets to find Sakura-chan first!" His whiskered face pictured a confident smirk but anxiety was visible on his smirk. He loved Sakura so much and he won't let anyone harm her. No one.

"Now, let's go! Youth Rangers!"

6:39 p.m.

Sasuke's clothes were not in shape, although, the dirtier he looks, the more good looking he gets. Damn those ruggedly handsome guys.

"Sakura." He muttered, his breathing was uneven. Damnit Sakura, where are you? His eyes though stoic shows anxiety. When they get home, he would definitely give her a long sermon.. of course he wouldn't admit to her that he was worried. Not in a million years.

And then he paused. He thought he heard something.. someone talking.

"Are you sure it was okay to leave her behind, Rika-sama?"

"Yeah, yeah.. we don't need her. Besides, it's better off without her."

"But, Rika-sama.. Sakura-san is in danger."

With that, Sasuke emerged from the spot he was standing before, obviously not in a really good mood. His bangs covered his eyes. Shadows covered half of his face. You can't really tell his expression at that time. But he surely is pissed off.

"Where is Sakura?"

6:44 p.m.

"Sasuke-kun.." A tear fell from the side of her eyes.

For her, it was like the holocaust, World War I, World War II, French Revolution, Ice Age, Global Warming. OA Thoughts be damned. It was the end for her.

Her body limply glide in the air, as she fell. Her dress made a ruffled sound as her hands tried to reach for something.. anything. Mama, Papa.. your little sweetheart wants to say goodbye.

Though her case was hopeless, but she still believe that miracles happen.. that maybe, her Prince Charming might save her, reach for her and hold her tightly as both their body fell.

She believed that she wouldn't experience any pain. She believed that she'll live.

But fairytales don't usually happen in real life. Prince Charming doesn't exist in her world and wouldn't definitely be there to save her, reach for her and hold her tight.

Close your eyes, Sakura.

"Sakura!" Her closed eyes snapped open as she saw Sasuke reached for her and held her as tightly as possible. His back hit the rocks and his arms were bruised from the contact of the solid ground which he used as a support when they reached the surface.

After the impact, Sakura felt Sasuke groaned because of pain. She immediately stood up, not minding the pain she had on her left arm. Tears were falling on her eyes. She just can't stop them.

"Are you okay?" Sasuke spoke, his breathing was slow but obviously in pain.

"Why did you do that!? That was careless of you! How could you risk your life for me!"

The events in the library clouded in her mind. The incident that had just happened was similar to that of the library scene. But this time, it was much more dangerous and Sasuke might die!

"You're welcome." He smirked. He closed his eyes and his breathing was getting weaker.

"Sasuke-kun! Please don't leave me! Please! Don't close your eyes! Don't leave me!"

"..." He didn't reply, it was either he was too tired to speak or he was getting really weak.. and thus, he is saving his breath for his last words. Sakura's tears won't just stop. It was really painful for her to see Sasuke in this condition.

"Sasuke-kun! Please don't.. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cause you so much pain and trouble. Please don't die on me! Sasuke-kun, don't leave me! I don't want you to leave me!"

"..."

"I need you Sasuke-kun!"

"You do?"
