IX: Last Word

S.H

THURSDAY

Her jade coloured eyes widen, her fright arose and her heart palpitated. Again..?

.. What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?! I- I have to help them, they're.. They're my team and.. And I..

Then go help them, Sakura, what are you waiting for, Sakura? Help them... You're such a coward~ Sakura~ Co.. Ward!'

The rosette shook her head in exasperation. Attempting to get rid of her inner voice.

She was in the middle of hyperventilating when Zabuza's deep, scary voice interrupted.

"Hand me a kunai, you kid." He said, then turned his head towards the infuriated blonde genin.

"But.. But- You're hurt dattebayo!"

"Just do it! Hand me a kunai. Now, kid."

The said genin implied hastily and threw a kunai knife.

Sakura could only gasp, in a heartbeat—Zabuza was gone, slicing people mercilessly.

She can see the fear present in Gato's eyes, the fear didn't last long when he fell lifeless on the ground.

Kakashi-sensei carefully walked towards the fallen masked man; Zabuza.

"Hatake— before I die.."

Naruto gulped, preventing his tears from flowing out.

"I have one request.."

Sasuke stared, no emotions evident from his eyes.

"I want.. To die.. Beside him."

Sakura covered her mouth, as she preempted a sob.

Kakashi-sensei granted his one final request, his weary eyes fell on Naruto who's already weeping.

She can faintly discern the way Zabuza patted Haku's head.

Tears flowed down her cheeks, as she heard his last words.

"I'm sorry."

\\\

After the sorrowful death of both Haku and Zabuza, Kakashi-sensei told them that it'll be better if they burry them already,

Only Sakura and Sasuke concurred and helped their sensei in burying the bodies, Naruto sat beside Tazuna, still weeping, while Tazuna drank his Sakè.

See.. Sakura?! If only you helped and if only your uselessness didn't take over, you could've prevented this! Oh my God! How can one be so weak?! Sakura! If only Mom and Dad knew this'll happen, they should've named you WEAKLING! Weak weak weak..!

The rosette clutched her head helplessly, inner's shouts caused headaches and that exactly what inner wanted-

For her to be in vain.

And no one can save her.
