Kitsune suddenly started shaking. "whats wrong?" Tsunade asked suddenly seeing the fox shake.
"Sasuke. We're going to let you rest but I'll send a medic in the morning to give you a check up. If you disobey her rules you are at her muercy." Tsunade smiled as the whole group walked out.
"Kitsune what wrong?" Sasuke asked picking up the soft fox. She felt like a doll she was soft and didnt refuse to him picking her up. Sasuke also picked up the ink pad so she could write.
Something's wrong. Sakura-chan's energy is fading slowly. Its happened before but nothing like this. I'm getting worried. Kitsune started shaking more and more then suddenly stopped. Sakura-chan's crying something seems to upset her.
Sasuke read what was writen on the white sheets and frowned, "Why would she be sad. She's go a perfect life." he mumbled.
"No she doesnt." A female voice whispered walking into the room. "Sorry for interupting but I just came to get something." she bowed and walked over to the pile of papers.
Kitsune dashed out of Sasukes arms as the woman picked up a piece. Kitsune's paw slammed the paper down as she snarled. The woman's eyes narrowed, "Fox you would be wise to let me take this." the woman hissed.
"This is Sakura's room. Everything in her belongs to her so dont touch anything. If Kitsune thinks you shouldnt have it then you shouldnt." Sasuke snapped. Kitsune looked at him in shock. "Now let it go or leave." he hissed narrowing his eyes.
The woman looked inraged, "No wonder Sakura is this way. You are a worthless bastard." she hissed letting go of the paper and walking out.
"Kitsune can you bring me that paper?" he asked. Kitsune shock her head.
"Kitsune!" a child sung. A small girl was at the window she froze seeing that there was someone in the room. "I'm sorry. I didnt know someone was here." she mumbled jumping into the room blushing and scraching the back of her head.
CHAPTER 5
"Who are you?" Sasuke asked seeing that the girl was only a preteen. She walked over to Kitsune and picked her up.
"My name's Inaria. I'm one the nurses here. Or I should say I help Sakura-chan." Inaria smiled and walked over and sat next to Sasuke. "I was just coming over to grab something. But since you're here can I get you anything?" she asked sweetly.
"Could you answer some of my questions?" he asked softly almost worried she would decline.
Inaria smiled and nodded. "Ask away."
Sasuke sighed, "Why isnt Sakura here? Truthfully." he made it truly clear that he needed an answer.
"She's resting after using her life energy. With how much she used she shouldnt be up for weaks." Inaria started to laugh, "But knowing Sakura-chan she'll be up by tomorrow."
Sasuke sighed knowing he was the one that had hurt her. "So whats up. That girl that came in earlyer said that Sakura's life was imperfect. It seems perfect to me." Sasuke whispered clenching the fabric in his hands.
Inaria giggled, "Sakura-chan is a great actress isnt she? Her parents died when that snake dude came to get her. He tried to kill her but Itachi-sama saved her. After she helped him people called her a traitor."
Kitsune looked out the window, "The only people that stood at her side were Naruto, Kakashi, and Lee-san. Ino-chan didnt even really trust her but thats nothing. Sakura began hurting herself since she was told you were dead. She thought it was her fault, after she helped Itachi-sama."
"Wow Sakura is a good actress then." Sasuke whispered to her. Inaria smiled and nodded. "Why are you smiling?" he hissed.
"You just look like someone Sakura-chan talks about a lot. A boy from the pitchers. Somone she would die for." Inaria whispered making him blush. Kitsune started hissing and Inaria looked out the window. "Shit she wouldnt."
Inaria looked over to Sasuke and sighed, "If she finds out I'm as good as dead." she whispered doing about 150 hand signs. "Hold still please." Her glowling fist punched through Sasuke but he didnt feel anything because this was her blood limit.
With her new chakra Sasuke's wounds were healed and he was given a new strength. "Come on and follow us." Sasuke followed Inaria and Kitsune to the sakura feilds.
He could already smell blood as the ran with them but he couldnt see where it was coming from. They froze and he heard Inaria chock on a sob. She fell to her knees with tears "NO!" she screamed. Sasuke turned to see Itachi looking at her.
She was in Sharingan's hold now. "Itachi..." Sasuke hissed. Itachi smirked but turned. "S-Sakura" Sasuke studdered seeing Sakura with a katana in her chest.
"You thought healing me could change the way I am little blossom. Not even your pure heart can change an Uchiha." He whispered darkly to her.
"I'm sorry Itachi, for being so stupid that I thought I could change both you and Sasuke." Sakura's eyes dulled as she smiled, "But I will never stop trying."
Itachi smirked as he charged at Sasuke knowing his brother was still weak. Sakura saw this and got to her feet. She grabbed Itachi's little pony tail thingy and swung him around. "Sakura are you alright?" Sasuke asked after she fell to her knees with blood.
She nodded even though he knew it was a lie. He was pinned between Sakura and a white sakura tree. Suddenly Itachi came at them. Sakura not thinking charged back but pushed Sasuke out of the way. Itachi smashed her agenst the tree splashing blood everywhere but what he hadnt noticed was that she had set chakra string around his heart and with her dieing he was aswell.
She smirked as tears came to her eyes. "You will die with me Itachi. You knew that from the start." she smiled as Itachi got off her only to fall to his knees caughing up blood. "Your punishment..." she whispered.
Sasuke ran to her side and embraced her bloody body. "Sakura I'm so sorry. I'm the one that you are dieing for." he whispered tears brimming his eyes.
She smiled and rose her hand to his cheek, "Sasuke-kun. I'm sorry for being so cold to you. I just wanted to protect my heart when I was only breaking it even more." she smiled and whispered, "I told Naruto I would die protecting someone. I told you I would give my life for you. I did both, I couldnt be happyer." she whispered tears falling from her eyes.
He leaned down and kissed her as life drained from her body. For once in his life rain didnt cover his tears but he had just lost someone who loved him and who he suprisingly loved just as much.
Itachi smirked as his sharingan eyes turned black, "That girl had true courage by saving you little brother." and with that Sasuke slit Itachi's throught so he could never say anything bad about Sakura again.
"With her selfless act Haruno Sakura painted the white sakura tree pink with her pure blood." I whispered. Dan had fallen asleep in my lap. With a quick move I had him on my back still asleep and I was on my feet. I silently walked him back to Ino's house. She would take care of him tell I got back.
I walked back to the sakura grove but saw a man standing at the tree I was just sitting at. I bowed in respect to the Anbu captin. "Ohayo Sasuke-kun." I said smiling at him.
He smiled back. My grandmother once told me that I was the only one he smiled at. Thats because I am her.
The demon inside of me is no demon at all, but an angel. Did I forget to menshion that my hair is the same color as the sakura blossoms and that my eyes are the color of the grass. Yes I am just like her. Grandpa says I am her that she truly left for a mission with Kami-sama but she came back as me.
Thats why Sasuke smiles at me. Thats why I'm the only one able to put the -kun in his name without getting snapped at. And thats why I'm named after her.
He sat down and I followed knowing he wanted me to. "How's it been with you Sakura?" he asked looking me in the eyes. I held back the erge to blush... I didnt know why but he always got the best of me.
"I'm good how about you Sasuke-kun?" I asked leaning agenst his shoulder. I started humming a song that came to my mind. Sasuke looked at me with kind eyes.
He looked back up to the sky and whispered, "I've been doing alot of thinking about the past. I really miss her." he whispered.
My eyes lowered. In the begining people always said it was my fault that she died, just so I could be born. I always hated that feeling, even if I didnt know what it was. Grandpa knew how I felt so he tried to help but even now I cant help but feel like this, I bet he thought the same thing.
My knees oddimaticly came to my chest as I cluched my shirt in pain. This feeling hurt so much and I couldnt help but bit my lip. This Sasuke noticed. "Sakura, whats wrong?" he asked seeing the way I was acting.
I shock my head. I didnt want him to worry. I didnt want this to happen. Why was it always me? "Sakura you can tell me." he whispered rubbing my back.
I suddenly felt a strong erge to burst out crying but I held it in. "Sasuke-kun... I'm sorry." I whispered looking up to his worried eyes.
He shock his head. "Dont worry Sakura. I didnt mean it that way." he smiled again at me.
I closed my eyes and began to sing. Singing always made me feel better about the angel inside of me. (song by mageintheshadows)
I can't believe you're gone,
I can't believe I'm standing at your grave,
under the cherry tree
You cried for me,
You died for me,
You lived and breathed for me,
And I let you down,
But you still gave your life to save this underserving one,
And now,
I cant believe you're gone,
I can't believe I'm standing at your grave,
Under the cherry tree...
My fingers traced over a grave and I could see the words in my mind. Haruno Sakura, Blossom of the spring and heart of Konoha. My whole body was shaking because of those words. "She really loved you Sasuke-kun." I whispered to him.
He looked at my like there was nothing he could do, "I loved her too. I came back to find her, tell her I was sorry but she had already given up just for me." he mumbled back.
Then I blurted out a question I had wanted to ask for the longest time. "Do you hate me because I am her spirit?"
He smiled and made me look at him, "I could never hate you Sakura. You are exactly the way that God wanted you to be and if you do have Sakura-chan's spirit then I'm very thankful that I met you." He got to his feet and grabbed a sakura blossom and put it in my hair. "You would fight for the people you love with your life. That is a great gift."
For the first time in my life I smiled; A true smile. "Thank you Sasuke-kun. I'm sorry I took her away but I'm greatful to have known you; in both times." At this we both smiled.
"Never forget who you are Sakura. Or where you stand." he whispered to me walking away. I waved to him with a smile.
"You did very well Sakura-chibi-chan." I heard her voice speek. "You made him happy for me. Arigoto. Now I have one more wish Chibi-chan." I listened carefully to her. She was my wisdom and she was always right, "Be happy. Live your life with love."
