Sakura's and Sasuke's Inner self

Chapter 3: Betrayed

Sakura woke up with sweat covering her forehead and running down her face. She immediately sat up and looked around. She was in a white room, on a nice soft bed covered in white sheets. She looked around and concluded that she must be in a hospital other wise she wouldn't have an IV and blood tube in her arm. `What happened?' Her mind was a bit foggy, she didn't remember the events that had happened too well at first but after a minute they slowly came back to her. `Sasuke-kun is…' She couldn't even think what he was in her head. Salty tears made there way down her already wet face.

She wished this was a dream, she wished that he wasn't dead, she wished that he was there right now with her but she knew it wouldn't happen. This was real life, he was dead and he would never be by her side ever again. She silently cried thinking about him and blocked everything else out. She did not even notice her best friends when they arrived. “Sakura.” Ino said quietly and Sakura's head snapped up to the sound of her voice. Seeing the tears the girls immediately made there way to Sakura, all pulling her into a hug one at a time. “Are you ok?” Hinata asked her.

“I'll be fine. Where are Naruto and Kakashi?” Sakura asked, her mind trying to get off of Sasuke for a moment. “Naruto is around here somewhere and Kakashi was released a week ago.” TenTen told her. “How long have I been out?” “Almost a month. To be exact three weeks and a day.” Ino told her. “A month?” Sakura asked, in shock. “Yeah. We thought you went into a coma but apparently not.” TenTen said to her. “When's the funeral?” Sakura asked quietly, biting her lower lip. “It passed.” Hinata whispered to her and her eyes went wide. “What the hell do you mean it passed?” Sakura yelled, angrily.

“We had the funeral for him already.” Ino answered. “Why?” Sakura demanded. “Because Sakura it would kill you if you saw him lying in a coffin. Don't deny it because we know.” TenTen told her. “I know it would have but I loved him guys what do you expect? Now I can't even say goodbye properly.” Sakura said as more tears made their way down her red cheeks. “Sakura please don't cry.” Hinata said, hugging her and patting her back comfortingly. “How can I not when I will never see him again?” Sakura sobbed into her shoulder where her head now rested.

“Sakura it'll be ok.” Ino told her, softly. They all hated to see her like this. It was making them feel very bad for having the funeral without her but they had to. She would have been worse off if she went. “No it won't.” “Sakura, please. It was for your own good.” TenTen told her. “It was not. I will never see him ever again.” Sakura said to them. Her crying had not ceased yet instead it only seemed to get worse the more they talked. Her anger towards them, towards all of the people who had decided to have the funeral without her had not stopped at all, it only got worse as well. They had taken her only chance to see her love one last time and crushed it. She didn't think she could ever forgive them for that.

It was like they were the ones who took him away in the first place. She would never forgive his killer, even if he was already dead nor would she forgive her friends for not letting her attend the funeral. Her heart was shattered, almost beyond repair. It had received too many blows at once. Everyone in the whole village had some responsibility for her heart shattering. They could have told Hokage-sama to wait until she was better to have the funeral, they could have done something to prevent it but no they did not and let it proceed without her.

She would never look at the people in this village the same again. They betrayed her. All of them did in her eyes. Her friends, the ones she thought she could trust in the most, betrayed her. How she hated life right now. Why couldn't she have died with Sasuke? Why? Why did fate have to let her live? How she despised everything in her life right now. Everything was wrong, everything. “Sakura.” Hinata called. Sakura removed her head from Hinata's shoulder and placed it back on the hospital bed, looking up at the white ceiling above her. “Sakura?” Ino asked, worried about her.

“I need to think. Please leave me alone.” Sakura told them. Her voice held no emotion at all. Her face was pale and drained, and her eyes were dull and lifeless. This was not Sakura anymore; this is what happens to you when everything you held dear is taken. Her love by death, her friends by betrayal, and her life by just about everything. She would no longer be happy, joyful and full of life. No, not anymore, that part of her life was gone, that part of her was gone. She would be emotionless, cold and would care less about life. This is what she is to become, no matter what happens, she will stay like this.

“But Sakura…” TenTen started, only to be interrupted. “No, I need to be alone. Now leave. I'm not asking again.” Sakura told them, coldly. The girls were surprised by her voice. “Sakura we…” Ino began but she too was cut off. “You've all done enough, for one century. Now leave.” Sakura exclaimed, angrily. She just wanted to be alone; she didn't want anyone with her right now. She needed to think. The three girls nodded to her and left the room with one last glance. She knew what she thought of them. It was like they betrayed her and in a way they did but to them they thought it was the right thing to do. They did not think of the consequences of it.

`Once again I'm left alone. Everyone left me.' She thought.`Some good friends we have, huh? They betrayed us. They didn't let us go to Sasuke-kun's funeral. We can never see him again.' `Who are you and how the hell are you in my head?' Sakura asked the voice, surprised. `I'm you, of course. Your inner self.' `Oh. Your right, you know. They did betray us. They got to go to his funeral yet I didn't and I was one of the closet people to him. My life sucks.' `Tell me about it. We'll have to do something about that. We can go visit his grave for now. Just to say goodbye or something'

`I guess.' Sakura said to her inner self. `Well what are you waiting for let's go.' `How are we going to do that? We're in a hospital hooked up to machines that'll beep and alert the nurses if unconnected.' `So we're ninja aren't we? Make a clone and have them stay here or just quickly pull the wires off and jump out of the window onto the Oak tree out there..' `Ok. I'll do the second thing since I don't want to waste chakra.' Sakura thought as she sat up, quickly. She quickly pulled off everything that was connected to her and jumped out of bed, towards the window. The machines beeped loudly and she heard the scurrying of feet. She took one glance back before jumping out of the window and into an oak tree.

She made her way down the tree and ran away from the hospital. She ran towards the cemetery, where they usually buried ninja's that died one missions. She made it there in about five minutes. She slowed down and bent over, placing her hands on her knees, panting. She was out of breath from running. After catching her breath she stood and looked through out the cemetery for Sasuke's gravestone. `How are we going to find it when there's so many?' Sakura asked her inner self. There had to be over thousands of gravestones threw out the whole field.

`Well I don't know. Just look for where there are fresh flowers that aren't dead, I guess. What more do you want me to tell you? I never searched a cemetery before. I never planned to either.' Inner Sakura said.`Thanks for all your help.' Sakura said to her sarcastically.`Don't give me that sarcastic tone. Maybe they put the bodies in like order or something.' `In order?'

`Yeah, like maybe their ranks or the rank of the mission they were on when they died.' Inner Sakura explained. `Oh, I guess we'll have to see than. Let's see he was a Jounin and the mission was S-class.' Sakura said to herself. `Weird that we we're given an S-class and we are just Jounin.' Inner Sakura commented.`I guess it is but it was his brother so I guess they made an exception for us because of that.' Sakura told her inner self. `Whatever.' Inner Sakura said.

Sakura searched the cemetery looking for Sasuke's grave. Looking to where she found names of people who were Jounin when they were killed. She searched for almost a half hour before finding his gravestone. `Here it is.' She thought as she knelt down, looking at it. Tears made there way into her eyes and down her cheeks as she looked at it. Her Sasuke was really gone and he was never coming back. She wanted to die right than and there but she knew she couldn't. He wouldn't want that. “Miss, are you ok?” A rough and deep male voice said from behind her. She whirled around and almost fainted when she saw him.

(A/N: Cliffy Hahahaha. The next chapter will reveal who he is but you guys can guess if you want. You all should know who he is already thought.
