I’ve never seen a person I loved so broken and bloody before.
My body holds a mind of its own as I hold him close, trembling like a broken machine against this man I have come to love. He smells like sweat and blood.
For once in my life since meeting him I don’t think about whether he saw me as annoying or not for being beside him.
Sasuke is dying.
I never knew just how much tears a person could produce,but it feels like I produce them all.
I think of nothing but Sasuke as I cry over his dead form, wanting to avoid the needles of Haku’s wrath sticking out of his body and failing badly. I can’t stop shaking with the anger and pain weld up inside me.
I miss him even as I stare into his pale and scratched face, knowing in those moments that I will have to leave him.
I hang on anyway, I hang on in the whirlwind of incomprehensible thoughts flying through my head.
Sasuke, Sasuke,Sasuke…
I’m sorry I was so annoying, I’m sorry I wasn’t a better teammate for you, I’m so sorry…
Please come back…
Please-
“Sakura?”
I gasp, hearing Sasuke Uchiha’s voice once more. Then my eyes widen when I register his open eyes. The dark color of them are filled with surprise at my face.
I am too happy and relieved to see him again. It is like he came back from the dead just for me, but I know it isn’t like that. I know it but I don’t care. A joyous sob escapes my lips and I bury my face in his neck.
“You’re alive!”
I felt Naruto and Kakashi shuffle in behind me to get closer to Sasuke, happy to see their teammate and student alive as well.
“Ack, Sakura, I can’t breathe!”
He chokes, and I reluctantly let go of him.
As the others begin to talk to him I notice Sasuke still staring at me like it was the first time we ever met.
I can’t even feel surprise because I know that in a way for both of us, it is.
After all, this is the first time I realized how much I love Sasuke, and for him the first time he actually sees me.
Sakura didn’t listen. She had a selective
hearing like that when it came to ninja rules. She could recite them backwards
without a single stammer, but abiding them was another story.
When Team Seven was making camp, everyone
had their assigned tasks to complete. Sakura usually gathered the firewood,
then she and Sasuke arranged it together and he lit the fire. She was utterly
fascinated with his every gesture as he made the correct handseals, took in a
gulp of breath and released it with a moderate flame and a puff of smoke. There
was something reverent and contemplative in the way Sasuke looked then, as if
he was performing a sacred ritual only he knew about. It was entirely possible
with him being the last of his clan, but Sakura wouldn’t ask, too afraid to
bring up bad memories for him just to satisfy her petty curiosity.
Nevertheless, she loved to watch him when he
started the fire. He stood over it like a guardian deity, a thoughtful frown on
his handsome features. The warm orange glow cast on his face made him look as
if he was also made from the flames. A being of pure fire couldn’t be burned,
no matter how close he stood to the blaze.
sasusaku month 2018 day 01- heroes . title: You are Amazing
summary: Spider-Man -ish AU. She’s going home late at night when some bad guys cross her path. She’s outnumbered, the rain is pouring over them and there’s no way out of that mess. Thankfully, Konoha’s most amazing super-hero won’t let anything bad happen to her.
a/n: Happy SasuSaku month, you guys! I know I’m already late, but as always, I’ll do my best to write a fic for all the amazing themes of this year’s event! So, about this story, I just LOVE Spider-man! He’s my favorited super-hero from the Marvel universe and I really loved writing this story! I had to watch a certain scene more times than I should, and I hope I was able to describe it the way I wanted to! I hope you enjoy it, and please, tell me what you think! Also, this story is unbeta-ed, because my amazing friend is a bit busy now and I don’t want o give her more trouble, so… Go easy on me, guys.
“ Good night, Haruno-san! Be careful on your way home!”
“ Good night, Kotetsu-san! I’ll see you tomorrow!”
She waved goodbye at the security guard, offering him a sympathetic smile as she finally crossed the gates of the medicine building. It was almost 11pm now, and more than anyone, Sakura was aware that it was already quite late for a girl to walk around all alone around the campus. In fact, she had been aware of the clock for the last couple of hours, but couldn’t find it in herself to leave the anatomy lab in a decent time. Just one more paragraph, she would say, turning the pages to start a new chapter.
Sigh, Haruno Sakura really was a lost case when it came to her studies.
She ran a hand through her pink locks as she walked towards her dorm, speeding up her pace for obvious reasons. Half a block later, she felt a drop of rain falling on her head and cursed herself for ignoring the weather cast and not bringing an umbrella. If anything, the med student seemed to be more concerned about getting home soaked than about a chance encounter with a bad guy or two.
For she’s lived her entire life in a small town where nothing bad really happened, Sakura was never afraid of walking home alone at night. It was quite relaxing, in fact, and now that she was in a big city such as Konoha, things were no different in her head. It’s a safe campus, she thought. The people who lived there were mostly her fellow students, and with the exams coming, none of them had time to abduct girls in the middle of the night.
No, there was no reason why she should be afraid. People are usually more afraid about those things than it’s actually necessary, and besides, she’s never been a damsel in distress that couldn’t handle herself. As long as there were no guns involved, she was pretty confident her karate lessons would come in handy.
She would definitely be fine, she thought. Just three more blocks and she would be home.
There was really no need to be paranoid.
Or that was what she wanted to believe in until she realized she was being followed.
