Sasuke/Sakura's Inner Self

 

 

Chapter 7: Realization

 

 

“What the hell?” Naruto yelled upon seeing the two, shock overwhelmed him and the rest of the gang. Sakura's head snapped up and her eyes widened as she saw her friends standing there in the doorway, looking at her and this guy with wide eyes and shocked faces. The man looked at them with an annoyed yet grateful face. `Damn them even more to hell.' `Shut the hell up. If anything we should thank them for this. I hate comforting girls.' `You hate everything.' `So?' `So buttons.' `What?' `Nothing.' His inner self mumbled. The man let go of Sakura and stepped back a bit but he was still standing close to Sakura, closer than a stranger should anyway. `What the hell is going on here?” Naruto yelled at the two. Sakura's cheeks were burning red while the man had a light almost unnoticeable pink tint to his cheeks.

 

 

“Nothing.” Sakura mumbled to him, biting on her lower lip. “We can obviously see it isn't nothing.” Neji pointed out. “Point?” The man asked him. Neji's attention as well as everyone else's turned towards him. The man's eyes narrowed at all of them, sending all but Sakura glares. “Who are you?” Shikamaru asked him. “None of your business.” The man snapped back. “How troublesome.” Shikamaru mumbled and Ino sighed, turning towards Sakura. “Who is he?” Ino asked Sakura, who just shrugged in response, saying she had no clue. All hell broke loose. “You don't know who he is yet you hugged the man?” Everyone but Neji and Shikamaru yelled at her. “How troublesome.” “Shut up, Shikamaru.” Ino yelled at him and he immediately obeyed.

 

“Yes.” Sakura answered them. All eyes blinked and looked at her with shock (except the ma­n­). “This is the stupidest thing you've ever done. Of course that's next to running away from the hospital.” Ino yelled at her and she winced at the volume of her voice. “Well it's not my fault you decided to have the funeral without me.” Sakura yelled back, her anger starting to rise. “Yeah, I know how you feel Sakura-chan, I wasn't allowed to go either. They said something about I was too injured to go anywhere, let alone a funeral. I was pissed too.” Naruto told her, sadly. “You didn't go either?” Sakura asked him, disbelievingly and he shook his head. “Did Kakashi-sensei go?” Naruto shook his head once again. “No, they wouldn't allow him to either. He was too injured as well they said.” Naruto told her.

 

“You mean to tell me that none of his team mates were allowed to go to his funeral?” Sakura yelled at them all (except Naruto and the man). All nodded weakly and nervously. Sakura clenched her fist tightly, digging her nails into her palm, ripping the skin, making tiny droplets of blood drop down for it and onto the floor. She was beyond pissed now; damn she was about ready to kill all of her so-called friends as well as every damn doctor and nurse who worked at the hospital. To calm herself she turned her back on them and quickly punched the wall behind her. The wall shattered into pieces, falling one by one to the ground. Some pieces even flew a few feet away. The wall was pretty much gone. Her hand was now bleeding from her knuckles at the force and power she applied. She still wasn't satisfied but this would have to do for now. “You know punching walls isn't going to make you recover faster, right? It only makes you worse, just to let you know.” The man told her, shaking his head with his arms crossed.

 

“Well I really don't care right now. I'm too damn pissed off.” Sakura snapped at him, as she turned back around to face him. His eyes narrowed at her, as he looked her straight in the eyes. His eyes searching and looking for something in her own. `I could have swore I saw a tint of red and silver.' He thought to himself, still looking in her eyes. After a second of seeing nothing he averted his gaze and turned away, leaving her standing there wondering what he was looking at and why. Sakura's `friends' were just looking at the two with confusion. “Are you two,” Naruto stopped mid sentence and continued when both looked at him with curiosity, “Together?” He asked and the two looked at him with blank faces. The others sweat dropped. Sakura's eye twitched as the man clenched his fist.

 

The others just shook their head at Naruto's stupidity. “HOW CAN WE BE TOGETHER IF WE ONLY MET EACH OTHER YESTERDAY?” Sakura screamed at him, needing to vent her anger out on something or someone. Naruto took a step back with a nervous grin and shrugged as an answer to her. “STOP BEING STUPID.” She yelled at him. She would have continued but she needed to catch her breath. “So-sorry, Sa-Sakura.” He stuttered, frightened by her anger. “Dope.” The man said to him and all froze. The man closed his eyes and sighed. `Shit, I did not just say that. Damn, if I keep this up my cover will be blown.' He thought to himself, he had no doubt almost blown his cover that is if she didn't figure out already.

 

Sakura's eyes narrowed at him, as she looked straight at him. He opened his eyes only to look into deep jade orbs. Sakura searched his eyes his time, but unlike him she found what she was looking for. She gasped and took a step back from him. She couldn't believe it was him. It had to be him, why else would he look and somewhat act like him? But how could it be him when's he dead? She was confused; her brain was going into overload at all the information she was receiving. She was backed against the wall now, still looking at the man. She knew who he was now. It had to be him. She didn't know how but she knew it was. Her friends were confused at her action but they kept quiet and watched the scene before them.

 

“Sakura, calm down.” The man told her, as he took a step closer to her. It all made sense now. Why she felt comfortable with him, why she felt protected when around him, why he had been mad when she was attacked, how he knew where she lived, why he didn't answer questions about himself. Everything fell into place. She was just too blind to see it in the beginning. Her breathing was fast and her heart was beating rapidly and loud, she was sure that almost everyone listening could hear it. Her vision blurred as her eyes began to fill with unshed tears once again. The man saw this immediately and felt guilty.

 

`No matter what I do, she always cries. Maybe it would be better if I let her go.' He thought to himself. `Are you crazy? You're going to let the girl of your dreams go and find another man?' `I don't deserve her.' `Neither does any man alive. Tell me, what happens if she picks the wrong man? What if he hurts her? Do you want that?' His inner self asked him. `Any man stupid enough to hurt her will die.' `You wouldn't be able to do anything about it, you'd be stuck in Heaven.' `No, she will not get hurt by anyone. Nobody will touch her. Her friends will help her if anything, if I can do nothing.' `What's happens if they can't? What happens if they're too busy and don't care? What happens than? Are you going to let someone else hurt OUR Sakura?' His inner self asked him. `No, I would never let her get hurt. Nobody will touch OUR Sakura. We are the only ones allowed to. Everyone else will die if they even try.' Sasuke told his inner self.

 

He disliked anyone but him being with Sakura, after all she was his. He would not let another man touch her or hurt her in anyway. Only he was allowed to touch her, only he was allowed to hurt in anyway. Not that he liked it or anything. It was his privilege and his alone. He would let no one take it from him. He would not be with anybody but her and he knew she would only be with him. They were made for each other. One dark, one light, one evil, one good, one tainted, one pure. They were complete opposites but that's what made them perfect for each other. They covered each other weaknesses and exploited and enhanced each other strengths. When they were together nobody could stop them and nobody would try.

 

He finally made his mind up on what he was going to do; he just had to do it now. He hated to think of what he was to do but it was his mission. If he did not complete one, he would not be ruler of either and he would not be able to see her ever again. His friends, he was sure were going to hate him for all eternity for doing this but he had to. Besides he really didn't care what his friends thought, as far as he was concerned they were all traitors except Naruto. Not letting them go to his own funeral.

 

“Why?” She asked him, snapping him out of his thoughts. Why? Why what? Why had he not told her who he was? Why had he lied to her? Why was he here? Why wasn't he dead? There were so many why question he could think of so he said nothing to her, he only continued to stare at her intently. “Sakura, why are you crying?” Naruto asked, breaking a five-minute awkward silence. Sakura looked at all her friends, surprised by how they had not figured it out yet. Of course they did not know him like she did, so this was only expected. “You don't recognize him?” She asked them and they all shook their heads. The man took another step forward towards her, his head shaking at her.

 

“He's…mpuh.” Her mouth was covered by the man's hand. She looked up at him and he told her, not by words but by his eyes not to tell them what she knew. She didn't care though; she was going to tell them one way or another. “What Sakura? He's who?” TenTen asked. She grinned and bit his hand, hard but not hard enough to leave him injured in any way except a few pulses of pain. He immediately let go of her mouth and shook it. “Sasuke.” She replied, quickly before he could cover her mouth again. The room was silenced and all turned to the man, now identified, as their friend who they thought was dead, Sasuke.

 

(A/N: End of chapter 7. You finally know who he is. I think there's only going to be one more chapter, than I'll work on the sequel. The next chapter will show what happened that say he went to go see the councils of Heaven and Hell. It will also tell you the missions and it will also show which he chose.
