Fire Flowers (SasuSaku) Naruto Fanfiction

Dream.

Edited.

---- 5:00am

The sun shines in my window on my face making me open my eyes.  Looking to my left I see the empty bowl of food Sakura make me,  I sat up expecting me to get light headed like I was getting the past few days but I didn't.  I feel a lot better today than I did the last few days but I still feel really hot and I have a headache.  Taking them pills has to be the second stupidest thing I've ever done.  I grabbed my empty bowl and glass, walking to the kitchen to clean them.  

After washing my dishes I lay down on the couch.  'Why am I depressed?  This needs to stop.'  I ask myself.  'I'm back in Konoha, I live with my best friend and... and the girl I love but why am I so sad and feel useless all the time?'  I sigh and close my eyes, pulling the small blanket at the end of the couch over myself.  'I killed my brother and found out about the truth of the Uchiha clan, I payed for my crimes, and now I'm home.  I guess I can work on getting a house of my own.'  I picture a large white house with the Uchiha clan symbols on it.  'And tell Sakura how I really feel about her... start a family.'  I picture Sakura in a dress with my clan symbol on the back, holding a baby in front of the house.  'It would be perfect.'  I cover my head with the couch pillow and smile."

"Hey Sasuke, wake up."  

I open my eyes and look over the couch to see Sakura making coffee.

She glances at me.  "Okay good, you're up, go get dressed, lets go on a walk."  

I think about if I want to go on a walk or not but I nod and walk to my room.

Grabbing my blue long sleeve shirt and some dark pants, I put them on and walk back out to the kitchen.  Sakura is holding a cup of coffee well in black leggings with a olive green coat on.  

"Okay lets go."  She says walking out into the morning breeze.

"Hn."  I say and follow her out shutting the door.

"Feeling better today?"  

"Yeah."

"Great!"  She smiles.

"Where are we walking too?"  I ask.

"I found this place in the woods and I want to show you."  Her voice was cold.

"Are you okay...?"

"Yeah!"  She smiles.

We walk into the woods and keep walking until we stop at a small stream with little fish swimming.

"Sasuke... you should leave Konoha."

My eyes widen.  "W-Why?"

"Naruto told me to tell you that if he comes back from his mission and you're here, he will kill you."

"Naruto said this?"

"Yes, Sasuke, I don't want you to get hurt."

"Will you come with me then?"

"Why would I go, I have my life here well yours is everywhere else."

"Sakura, I want you.  You're the reason why I came back here.  Sakura... I'm in love with you."

She looked at me with pleading eyes.  "Sasuke... I hate you."

My eyes widen again.  "What?"

"Sasuke I don't love you like I use too, I haven't for a long time, I don't even see you as a friend."

"But... Why did you help me then?"

She looked at me and started to walk away.

"Sakura?"

She didn't look back.

"SAKURA!"  I yell and start running to her, the more I run the further she gets.

She stops making me stop.  She turns and looks at me.  There was blood running down her face and onto her coat.

"Die."

"Sakura?"

Naruto falls in front of me, his body cut and bleeding all over.

"Naruto!"

I hear a dark laugh.  I look up and see Sakura holding a sword.

I try to move my feet as she gets ready to throw the sword at me.  Once again the more I try to move and harder it is to move.  I look back at Sakura, she smiles a horrid smile and throws the sword at me.  Before it hit me I...

I snap my eyes open seeing I'm on the couch in the living room.  My heart is beating fast and I can't find my breath, I start to panic because I can't breath.  Rolling over the couch and onto the ground still trying to find my breath well coughing the first thing that pops in my head is Sakura.  Standing up I hold my chest, I run to Sakura's room and bust open the door that was locked.  I looked to the bed where Sakura is sleeping and run to her, I jump on the bed and wrap my arms around Sakura well breathing in and out hard and fast.

"Sasuke!"  Sakura yells sitting up fast making my arms fall from her.

My head is in her lap and I start coughing again.  

"What's wrong with you?!"  

I wanted to talk but I couldn't because I was coughing.

"Breath in, breath out."  She repeats as she patted my back.

I soon stopped my harsh breathing and just lay on Sakura's lap.

"Why couldn't you breath?"  She whispered.

"I don't know."  I whisper back.

"When did it start?"

"T-This dream... I woke up and couldn't breath."

"So you had a bad dream.  What was it about?"

I think back to when Sakura said she hated me and had blood running down her face.  It made me cringe.  "You... you woke me up and took me to some place in the woods, you said Naruto was going to kill me and you didn't want me to die so you said to leave Konoha."  I sat up moved to the end of the bed looking down.  "You said you hated me.  It was all so real."

"Why would I tell you I hate you?"  She questioned.

"I don't know, it seemed so real, I even..." I stopped.

"Even what?"

"Told you... I... my... uh... feelin-"  I didn't know how to word it.

"Sasuke."  I look up at Sakura, I could see the blush in her cheeks.  "I understand at what you're trying to say."

I look back down so she can't see the blush on my face.

"I feel the same, Sasuke."  

I snap my head to look at her.  She smiles at me.  

"Sakura, will you stay with me forever?"

I watch as a tear falls from her eye.  "Yes, of course."  She smiles.

I smile and wipe the tear from her face and pull her into a hug.  She wraps her arms around me and hugs back.

"I didn't know Sasuke Uchiha could smile."  She laughs.

"Shut it."  I smirk back.
