Criminal | A Modern Day Narusasu

{ Chapter 19 }

When Naruto had woken up and walked to the kitchen the next day, he found a note. Hm? What's this? He picked the note up and read it. In VERY neat handwriting, it said:

I left money on your bedside table just in case you want take out. I'll probably be gone the whole day.

Naruto's face relaxed. He had a side thought that Sasuke was kidnapped or something, but at least that wasn't the case. I wonder what he had to take care of..

...

Sasuke was walking to the cafe, where he had arranged to meet Sakura. Okay Sasuke, remember, Naruto needs you to break up with her. You need to be free of any guilt. Sasuke walked in, looked around, and spotted the pink haired girl. She waved with a smile, gesturing that she was waiting for him. He walked to the table and sat down.

"So Sasuke, what you've been doing for at least the past 2 weeks?" She asked with a smile.

"Trying to track down Uzumaki."

"Ah yes, I've heard. How's that going?"

"Pretty well. I can safely say I almost figured it out."

"That's good that's good, but why isolate yourself from your girlfriend as well?" Sakura pouted with puppy eyes. Sasuke wasn't affected.

"Actually, about that Sakura.. I did a lot of thinking during these weeks and I decided.."

"Decided what?" Sakura was almost shaking with excitement. If her guess of what was coming next was right, she would be the happiest woman on Earth-

"That we should break up." Sakura's heart broke. She was confused. Did she hear Sasuke correctly?

"Um, Sasuke, d-did I hear you correctly?" She was nervous.

"I believe so. I don't find you attractive anymore." Sasuke actually never did. He was just with her due to the fact that she was the only decent person he actually ever got a confession from, and his dad was pressuring him to get a girlfriend.

"I'm sorry Sakura, I just-"

"It's fine Sasuke." She had tears in her eyes, some rolling down her cheeks. Sasuke felt a tad bit bad. Sakura was actually a genuinely good person, he knew she didn't deserve this.

"Sakura.."

"It's okay Sasuke, I understand. You don't love me anymore. Life is like that, bringing you ups and downs. All I hope for is that we can still be friends. You're a pretty chill guy. And know, if you ever need to vent, you can come to me," Sakura said with a smile. Sure she was crying, but she accepted life as it was. She knew she would get over this.

"Well then, Sasuke, since that is probably all, I'll be leaving." Sakura got up, wiping the tears away.

"Wait.." She turned to him. Sasuke got up and hugged her.

"Thank you for not making this as hard as other people would." Sakura was a bit surprised, but hugged him back.

"Of course. What are friends for right?" They separated from the hug, and went their separate ways. Sasuke decided he ought to go to the club, because why not. He got into his Lamborghini and headed for the building he loved the most.
