Finally Time to Give In
15 years earlier
Sakura's POV
Sakura sat in Tsunade's office waiting with her head down. This was it she couldn't be on a team with them anymore, not after what she'd seen.
“Sakura you wanted to talk to me?” the fifth Hokage said snapping her out of her thoughts.
“Yes Tsunade-sama I want to take you up on your offer to train me. I'd like to be a medical nin like you.”
“You realize this means that you have to quit team seven?”
“Yes Tsunade-sama I understand that.”
“Is there something wrong I thought you loved your team? From what I heard, you were in love with Sasuke.”
Sakura just sighed, “Sometimes things have to change. I became a ninja to be strong and help the village, not to chase foolish dreams around all day.”
Tsunade was surprised at the pink haired girls' sudden change of heart. Usually she was bubbly and all smiles, today she just sat their staring at her shoes.
“Are you sure everything is ok Sakura?”
“Yes sensei everything is going to be fine.”
“Then I'll see you at sunrise, go and tell your teammates they are going to leave for a mission soon. They should be meeting Kakashi at the gates around now. But you know Kakashi is always late.”
Sakura bowed and slowly walked out. She sighed again.
`I wish I didn't have to tell them I was quitting team seven. I really don't want to see either of them ever again, letting me go on like that. Believing I had a chance with Sasuke when he…...'
She stopped thinking there. It would only make her cry and she'd already spent all night crying. This was it, the end of team seven. Maybe now Sasuke would be happy she'd stop chasing him.
Sasuke's POV
Sasuke woke up to Naruto's blue eyes staring at him. He smiled.
“Morning Dobe.”
Naruto only smiled in return as Sasuke scooted closer to him. Whenever he was with Naruto he never seemed to be close enough.
“You're going to be in my skin if you get any closer to me Sasuke.”
“I can always move away if that is what you wish.”
Sasuke began slowly scooting away. An evil smirk spread across Naruto's face as he attacked Sasuke with kisses and tickling. Sasuke tried to get away but only ended up pinned under Naruto as they fell off his bed. They laughed carelessly until Sasuke saw the sun rising in the sky.
“Shit, Shit, Shit, Shit!” he yelled pushing Naruto off him.
“What?” Naruto was confused.
“We have a mission today, remember, we are supposed to be going out of Konohoa for awhile. We were supposed to meet Kakashi at sunrise and as you see, it's past sunrise.” Sasuke exclaimed pointing at the window.
Sasuke grabbed his pants and his shoes and the pack he'd brought. Naruto was trying to keep up with him but he was failing miserably. As Naruto grabbed his pack Sasuke was already out the door.
`He always manages to distract me' Sasuke grumbled
“Sasuke wait.” Naruto yelled chasing down the Uchiha.
Sasuke didn't slow up; they had to get to the gates.
“What is it?” he turned to Naruto annoyed.
Naruto held Sasuke's shirt up.
“You're wearing my shirt teme.”
Sasuke looked down and he was in fact wearing Naruto's button down night shirt. His face turned 50 shades of red. He snatched the shirt and quickly changed. Naruto stuffed his nightshirt in his pack.
Naruto was looking around, “Where is Sakura she is never late.”
Sasuke shrugged, “at least we got here before Kakashi.”
Naruto spotted Sakura walking slowly up the road. “There is Sakura. SAKURA-CHAN WE'RE OVER HERE!” he yelled.
“I bet she saw us baka.” Sasuke growled.
“Calm down, geeze you wake up on the wrong side of my bed this morning?” Naruto smirked.
Sasuke reddened again. “SHUT UP DOBE!”
Sakura's POV
Sakura paled when she saw them there yelling at each other as usual. But now she could see it. She could see the attraction, now that she knew.
“Hi guys.” She smiled trying to pep herself up so they wouldn't suspect anything.
“Where is your pack Sakura-chan? Naruto said looked behind her.
“I'm not going. Actually I'm not going to be on team seven anymore. I'm going to start training with Tsunade-sama so that I can be a medical nin and maybe even as strong as she is.”
Sasuke raised his eyebrows in shock. “Really?” was all he said though.
“But we are a team you can't just leave.” Naruto actually looked hurt.
“You won't miss me. I only get in the way now anyway.” Sakura was having a hard time keeping her fake smile.
“What's the real reason?” Sasuke finally piped up.
“What?” Sakura was trying not to look so astonished he noticed she was keeping something from them.
“Is there something bothering you?” Naruto asked genuinely concerned.
Sakura painted on a huge smile. “Nope nothing at all I just want to be stronger.”
She knew the smile was too big too fake but she couldn't help it. She wanted to just run away from them.
“Don't hide what's bothering you from us. We are a team we tell each other everything so we can help each other.” Naruto said softly to her.
That did it, Sakura's eyes welled up with tears and her face turned red.
“WE TELL EACH OTHER EVERYTHING. THAT IS THE BIGGEST LOAD OF BULLSHIT EVER NARUTO. I SAW YOU TWO OK. I SAW YOU KISSING.” She breathed a second.
Sasuke looked away and Naruto looked at the ground.
“Busted huh? Just let silly little Sakura keep chasing Sasuke around confessing her feelings to him. Do you laugh at me when you're lying in Naruto's bed? Laugh at how stupid I am? Why didn't you just tell me? I thought we were friends?” She was crying now.
“I'm sorry.” Sasuke and Naruto whispered.
“You're sorry? That's it? That's all I get? No, we should have told you, No, story, No, nothing? You're just sorry.”
“It's just really complicated.” Sasuke sighed.
“Complicated? Your gay that's not complicated. It would have been nice if you'd told me that.”
“Its not that I'm gay…”
“Don't tell me you're confused?”
“I told you it's complicated. I'm not sure you'd understand.”
“Why don't you give it a try?” Sakura was angry now.
Sasuke just looked away.
“Good luck reviving the Uchiha's with Naruto.”
Sasuke ground his teeth, “And what you wanted me to revive my clan with you? When have you ever come through and saved the day? When were you worth anything? I want to revive my clan with someone strong not a fucking weak little girl, whose goal in life is to follow me around. How can you blame me? I've shown you nothing but disinterest in being your lover. You know nothing, NOTHING about me. At least Naruto understands me; at least he's my equal. What are you? You're nowhere near my level. You shouldn't even be a genin you should still be in primaries.”
Sakura stood there with her mouth open. That was the longest speech she'd ever heard Sasuke say. More importantly that was the most sincerely insulting thing he'd ever said to her. No words would form. She was sure if you listened carefully, you'd hear her heart breaking.
Naruto glared at Sasuke, “That was uncalled for Sasuke.”
Sasuke shrugged, “she had to hear it sometime.” He turned away from them both.
“Sakura I'm really sorry. I wish we'd told you but we were afraid ok. We weren't exactly sure this was going to last as long as it had.”
Sakura interrupted him, “As long as it had? How long is that?”
“Since our first real mission, when we went to save that bridge.”
“That was before the chunnin exams that were like six months ago.”
Naruto nodded.
Sakura turned and started walked back towards the village. She was starting to feel claustrophobic around them she had to get away. The world numbed around her and she could faintly hear them calling her name. But it was done. Over. Finally time to just throw in her cards. Tears streamed down her face and she didn't even notice running by Kakashi.
Team seven was dead.
