Naruto: ItachiSasu--//shot ItaSaku | Prompt: Sasuke
She sees him fetching his brother after school, with that soft smile on his face. He will carry his brother on his back, asking him on how the younger one did at school.
By that time, Sakura knew how much Sasuke's brother loved him.
She starts liking--and loving Sasuke.
When she knew how much Sasuke hates his brother, she felt sad while questions swarm in her head: why did his brother do such a thing if he loved his brother?
More questions about the older Uchiha bothered her, but she doesn't dare ask a single question to the younger one.
She didn't know that she's starting to have feelings for the older one, too. Feelings that go along with curiosity.
Sasuke leaves Konoha because of his hatred, and she blames him for that.
The feelings that she felt turned into... hatred? No. It's...
When she sees him one day, far from Konoha, just she and the older Uchiha, she floods him with the questions she has been harboring ever since.
"Why did you do that?" She questions him with that shout, her hands balled into fists. "Didn't you love your brother?"
He doesn't answer back, and instead, he stares at her with his gleaming, red eyes.
She thinks about Sharingan and its powers, so she turns her eyes on the ground and leaps a few more feet before him.
When she raised her head, he's gone.
She dreams of the first day she saw him--that same smile he wore when he fetched his brother, that gentle aura glowing around him.
The only questions that surrounded her head are questions of "why", and nothing more.
She sees him again. Her heart starts to swell.
He smiles at her, and before she can start her inquiry, he disappeared. Immediately.
The next day, she knew he died in the hands of his very brother.
She thinks about Sasuke coming back to Konoha after that, and she felt a temporary happiness.
She walks home, repeating in her head the questions she never managed to clear.
The sadness when Sasuke left still resides in her.
She dreams about the time he smiled at her.
Her chest feels heavy, and she sits up from the bed, thinking of the same questions.
She asks herself why she wanted to see someone who's already dead.
She answers herself with, "Because I want to know."
She asks herself again after Sasuke finally comes back to Konoha.
She answers herself, for the last time, "Because I want to see that gentle smile again."
First time writing an ItaSasu. Ohoo. Karen, you make me write things I've never written for XD
