It's AlreadyOver

 

“I'm sorry”

Sakura clung onto the Uchiha's arms, clearly shaken. “Sasuke…” He placed a finger on her lips, silencing her. Eyes swimming with relief, he gathered her fragile body in his arms and cradled her against his warm chest. Tears flowed freely from the corner of Sakura's eyes as she buried her head into Sasuke's chest.

 

Onyx eyes softened at the sight. Moving slowly towards the door, Sasuke bent his knees slightly to retrieve the empty gun. Grunting with the effort, Sasuke smirked as Sakura smiled a genuine smile. All the unspoken words gleamed in his eyes and as the rosette looked up into them, she nodded in understanding. She knew that he loved one her, and that despite all the obstacles they had to overcome, the whole ordeal was finally over. She could finally be with him.

 

Sasuke stiffened slightly as he contemplated what was running through Sakura's mind. He knew that despite killing Itachi, he could not stay with Sakura. It was his fault and he knew that he would once again break her heart by leaving. Sasuke had to run from the police and he would not endanger Sakura by bringing her along. But he knew that she would follow him regardless of what happened. Closing his eyes briefly, he inhaled. He knew what he to do next. Glancing down at Sakura, he smiled gently to reassure her.

 

Gomen nasai…Sakura

 

The doors burst open. A squadron of ANBU led by Kakashi burst in and surrounded the two teenagers. Sasuke smiled. Perfect timing.

 

“Sasuke Uchiha, you are under arrest for the murder of Itachi Uchiha. You have the right to remain silent…”

 

Sasuke ignored the ANBU and took a step backwards.

 

“Freeze! Let go of the hostage Uchiha!”

 

A vein throbbed dangerously on the Uchiha's forehead. Setting Sakura on her feet, he whispered, “Don't turn around Sakura,” before taking a step backwards, gun still dangling from his fingers.

 

Raising it slowly so that it pointed at Sakura's head, his finger hovered over the trigger. A shot rang out, echoing across the room again. Sakura's head whipped around just to see Sasuke stumble backwards, blood dripping from his abdomen. He raised the gun again.

Everything then seemed to happen in slow motion. Sakura was screaming at the ANBU to stop, that he would not hurt her, that the gun was empty. Another shot rang out as Sasuke's head snapped backwards.

 

Her screams fell on deaf ears and all she could do was to watch as Sasuke sank to the ground, lifeless.

 

Perfect timing…

The jonin ran a hand through his silver locks. He ambled slowly over through the doors of the morgue and made his way towards the rosette.

 

“Sakura!” Kakashi sprinted after the girl. Wrapping his arms around her body, he struggled to prevent her from smashing through the doors of the morgue. “Stop it. Stop it Sakura,” he cried urgently. Breathing heavily, he felt the girl stop struggling and give in to her exhaustion and despair. Sobs racked her delicate body and all he could do was hug her, praying that she would calm down.

 

“Come on,” he murmured gently. Slowly, he escorted the girl out of the building.

You never go

You're always here

Suffocating me…

 

Taking a deep breath, Kakashi started in a low voice. “I…guess I owe you an explanation, Sakura.”

 

Under my skin, I cannot run away.

Fading slowly…

 

“How to start?” He scratched his head before continuing, “Sakura, eight years ago, the Uchiha clan wanted to sell weapons to other…hostile countries who wanted to invade ours. I was the police agent who was in charge of monitoring the situation. Unfortunately, I was injured on patrol duty.” Kakashi gestured towards his scar.

 

I'd get it onto you

Letting go of me

Reaching as I fall

I know it's already over now

 

 

Sakura whispered, “But I thought…that Itachi…”

Nothing left to lose

Loving you again

I know it's already over

Already over now

 

Kakashi nodded apologetically, “Yeah, it was part of a cover up. Itachi was in fact, my replacement.” He sighed. “Itachi hated violence and the thought of war between countries horrified him... That is, except for Sasuke. The government assigned him a mission. That mission…was the eradication of the entire Uchiha clan. It was a mission to become known as a criminal who murdered his own clan, bear the disgrace and become a rogue shinobi. Eventually, he even joined Akatsuki as an undercover agent.”

 

My best defense

Running from you

 

“Itachi killed his friends, his superiors, his lovers, his father and mother. But his little brother alone…he could not kill. He killed all of his own emotions, save for crying tears of blood and slaughtered his own flesh and blood for the sake of his country. But he just couldn't bring himself to kill Sasuke.”

 

I can't resist

Take all you want from me
Breaking slowly…

“To him, Sasuke's life was more precious than even his country.”

 

Loving you again
I know it's already over…

 

For the peace of his country, and most of all for Sasuke Uchiha, Itachi desired to die a criminal and a traitor, accepted disgrace in place of honour…and hate in the place of love, even then Itachi died smiling…”

 

Sasuke… it's already over…

There we go! Finally finished! *stoned* Yareyare, I know…no happy ending, gomen nasai. And yeah, I got a bit bored and sloppy at the end so sorry as well =3 Just to say:

 

Sasuke's death was taken from the movie, New Police Story

Kakashi's speech was actually spoken by Madara in the manga and is taken from the official translation of the manga by Viz Media
