Onyx Eyes (A Sasuke Uchiha Story)

10: Near Death Experience

“MIKEY!” I shouted in shock. He looked at me hard for a moment, then his eyes widened.
“OH SHIT! FUBUKI?!” he got off of me and helped me up. I was close to tears, I wrapped my arms around him.
“Yes! I thought you died!!” I shouted.
“I thought you did, too!” he exclaimed.
“Where were you all this time?!” I shouted, slapping his arm.
“Oww, damn! I moved to a smaller, unknown village, then I moved back into the compound! And you, missy? I haven’t seen you since that day.” Mikey hugged me tight. “My baby sister!”
“Hey, you’re only two minutes older than me. And I lived here, just not in this section of the compound! Then I moved to Konoha!” I said.
“Oh, I heard that place was nice.”
An idea sparked in my head.
“Live with me!” I squealed. "We need to stick together, Mikey. We're family. We need to catch up and get to know each other again." He thought, then smiled.
“Okay!” he said. “Lemme get my stuff!” he said, then ran to his room. In fifteen minutes, he was back. He had an overflowing luggage bag. He jumped on top of it several times. “It! Won’t! Fit!” he said in between jumps.
“Have you ever thought about folding your clothes?” I asked, giving him a look.
He paused.
“I’m too lazy....” he said. I laughed.
“Here, I’ll help.” I said.
We folded all of his clothes and this time it fit.
“See?” I said, grinning. He pouted.
“Meanie.” he said, causing me to laugh.
“I love you, too.” I said, we got up, and we started our adventure to Konoha. I had no more reason to stay. I had asked Mikey if any of our other siblings were alive, and he told me he hasn't seen any of them at all. He assumed they were dead, and I did, too. It was already a miracle that we were alive.

“Auugghh!” Mikey groaned when we reached my apartment after getting introducing him to the Hokage, who was baffled to see him. We got Mikey a headband and everything. Since he was going to live with me, The Hokage wasn't in a rush to find him an apartment to stay in. We went into my apartment, he put his stuff down in the guest room. He lay on the bed and huffed.
“I heard my squad is on a really big mission, so I’m going to go to them, okay?” I said, after taking a shower. I had my stuff in a bag."Stay here and get everything together, and get to know Konoha."
“Okay, fineee. . Be careful! Don’t let them boys touch you.” he said, warning me. I rolled my eyes.
“Yeah yeah, I know, I know.” I said. He smiled.
“Have fun.”
“You, too.”
“I’ll try. Now andele!” he said. I smiled, then left.
My squad was in the Land Of Waves. It didn’t take long for me to get there, actually. I just had to pick the right methods of transportation, and run for a bit of the ways until I reached the boat to help me over the water. I went to the bridge that was named in the scroll after asking several locals where it was exactly, expecting to see a man and his workers working on the bridge while my squad started getting ready to come home, but instead I saw an intense fight occurring. I looked closer, and gasped at how intense the situation looked. Sasuke and Naruto were in a big jutsu, Kakashi was fighting a man I knew as one of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. Zabuza. My eyes widened. I ran down to help Sasuke and Naruto.
“Sasuke! Naruto!” I shouted. Sasuke turned to look at me.
“I thought you were gone?” Kakashi asked, not taking his eyes off Zabuza.
“I came back, details later.” I explained.
“Don’t come in here!” Sasuke demanded. “You’ll get hurt.”
“I don’t care.” I snapped, I went in.
“You can’t get out now!” he snapped.
“I know.” I replied. I looked at the mirrors, and threw kunai at them.
Several senbon needles went into my arms, I groaned and winced. I pulled them out.
Naruto ended up coming as well, and went.
The senbon needles all went at Sasuke, he collapsed. My eyes widened. I bent down to him.
“Sasuke?!” I cried out, I bent down to touch his cheek. Naruto held him.
“I can’t die yet.....I haven’t....” his words were blocked out as something grew inside me. Pain. This pain was different. The pain was for Sasuke. For his lost dreams. For his lost life.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a red chakra swirling around Naruto. He punched the boy in the mirror right out of it. I stay next to Sasuke, I started crying.
“You didn’t have to die. I was too weak to help you. I wasn’t strong enough.” I cried, my tears falling to the floor. I wiped the tears away with my hand.
I looked up to see Kakashi kill the boy on accident. My eyes widened. There was so much blood. I bit my lip. I looked at Sasuke, his eyes closed. He looked so peaceful.
“You were the only one who understood my pain. I understood you, too. I found my brother, Mikey today.....I found out he was alive....he’s at my home....I would have wanted you to meet him. You’re my friend, anyways....” I said, my tears started pouring faster. “Why am I crying? I haven’t been able to cry for so long....” I whispered.
I didn’t pay attention to anything around me until I felt someone’s presence coming closer. I turned to see Sakura. She saw Sasuke and started crying. She cried on him. I moved Sasuke’s hair out of his face, kissed his cheek, then got up and walked to Kakashi. He had put Zabuza next to the boy, who I heard was named Haku.
“He was a nice boy.” Kakashi said to me.
I kept my eyes to the floor. Kakashi knew I heard him, though.
“Sakura......I can’t breathe......” Sasuke said from under Sakura. I whipped around to look at him. I ran over.
“SASUKE! YOU’RE ALIVE!” Sakura cried.
I looked over at Naruto and walked over to him, I put my hand on his shoulder.
“Sasuke’s okay.” I said.
Naruto nodded wordlessly, then Sasuke walked over. We all started walking.
“So...Sasuke, when you get back, do you want to go out with me?” Sakura asked.
“No thanks.” Sasuke said.
“When you were out, did you hear what was said?” I asked, nervously.
“Every word.” Sasuke said, his eyes locking with mine. I looked away, biting my lip.
“Oh.” I said in a whisper.
Shit.
