::~Love Letters From Heaven~::

---Shadows of the Heart---


“Sasuke…Please…Don’t go…Don’t leave me…”
“Sakura…I have to…”
“P-Please…” she pleaded to his back. “I’m…I’m so in love with you I can’t stand it!! Please! I’ll help you with your revenge! We can fight Itachi together! Please! Sasuke! Just don’t leave me!!”
Sasuke slowly turned to the sobbing girl. “Heh…you really are annoying…”
The girl gasped at his harsh words, but kept staring at him.
In a flash, he was gone, now behind her. He placed a hand on her shoulder. The Uchiha lightly bit his lip, at a loss for words.
“Thank you…” he said simply.
Sakura was met with a splitting pain in the back of her head and melted to the ground.

The raven gently picked up Sakura, setting her on a bench a little ways down the road. He stared at her limp body, her tears shining in the moonlight. He actually felt bad for what he had done. Sakura was just trying to help him…even if she couldn’t.
She cared for him.
There was no doubting that.
And now…
Sasuke lightly wiped away her tears with his thumb, feeling a pang of regret.
Was all of this going to be worth it in the end?
Of…of course it was.
It had to be…
It…It just had to be…
But still…
Sasuke slowly leaned in, planting a gentle kiss on the girl’s lips.

As Sasuke walked down the road to the front gate, many things passed through his head.
The day he first met Sakura and Naruto…
When he had been assigned to squad seven…
When his father had praised him instead of his brother…
When Orochimaru bestowed this power onto him…


I’m sorry Sakura…


A pair of eyes had watched the entire scene unfold.
Green eyes.
As soon as Sasuke reached the gate of Konoha, leaving his village, a hand sign was made and the Sakura on the bench vanished into thin air.
Sasuke… I can’t believe you actually…
The Uchiha was glared at until he was no longer visible.
I have to tell Lady Tsunade….Now…. she thought. Thank Kami for shadow clones…
This girl…was Sakura.

Sasuke walked down the road, clutching his backpack.
From the moment you came into my life, I knew I couldn’t do this without regrets… I never felt this way before, wanting something so bad but someone holding me back. And that someone…is you, Sakura…Making me doubt if this is what I really want…
And right now…
Why are you all I can think about…?
