"Tadaima" [SasuSaku]

[ethereal-moonrain]

SUMMARY/OVERVIEW: Five years of hell only leading to this moment. A single grain of sand that was meant to fall on the hourglass of fate. After so many mistake, after so many lies, so many loss. Their love was still there. SasuSaku.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------




What if everything you trained for, everything you spent your life achieving only lead you to one dismissive moment, of bringing you back to were you started. Of making you stand into another crossroad.


Was it all worth it? Could you say ?I?ve won?? When you had leave your new home and now you couldn?t go back.


To a home you could never return to?



?Tadaima?

Prologue: My Memory

I can still remember every part of it

Even the insignificant things

If I close my eyes I could still see them

You?re far away

It is not even in my dream

That I thought we could meet again like this

Therefore, I have to be frank with you:

I am still in love with you




Anguish. Loathe--- The strong would live, and the weak will die. Some time in my life I heard this phrase repeatedly. I wanted to be strong, but I hate the strong. For he was strong and I ?


Foolish brother . . .If you wish to kill me . . .Hate me, despise me, and survive in an unsightly way . . .Run and run and cling onto life



If there was a day that all the weak had died, then all that was left are the crooked? they are the true weak. Without the weak, there can never be the strong. That would be a great laugh, they?ll forever suffer silently, unknown. What a great idea.

But then again, that means I would live too. I do not want to.


Run Sasuke---


-------------------------------------


He stood unmoving. The sky was filled with gray clouds, a distant lightning. The storm is approaching quickly.


?Hey! Mister!?


In a sense the voice was familiar and yet not. He didn?t turn. Maybe he was annoyed. But then he was always annoyed by everything. There was another tug and so he turns and was startled.


A little girl, big rounded emerald eyes, pink hair, a silly red ribbon, and then the annoying smile, yet the warmest.


?What is it?? still he manage to make his voice cold and steady while he was having a battle in his mind. Could it be? No?it couldn?t be.


?Who are you mister?? he knew that those round intriguing eyes were scanning him head to toe.


Who am I?


I am?death perhaps?


Who am I?



?No one.? He looked at funny face the girl was making; was she utterly imitating a blowfish?


?Whaaaat??? Are you loossttt??? Where?s your home??? For sure you have one! I think no one could live without a home!?


Maybe I am lost.


And my home is forever gone. I had lost it once, and I lose it again.


Now she was making things worst. She was an ultimate annoyance. How could a little girl torture him? How could just a mere girl confuse him so much?


I never lived---


. . . Have I never lived until now? . . .


Am I living now?


They say that even death can die.



?What is your N-A-M-E!?? she even spell it for him. God, she was infuriating.


Sasuke


Is that really my name?


Uchiha Sasuke


I would avenge the death of my family!


I would be strong!


Is that really me?


Could anyone possibly know the truth?


?I am?Sasuke. Uchiha Sasuke.?


Hate me---


I was once the weak, and he was the strong.


Despise me--


Then I become the strong. The weak become the strong.


Survive-- in an unsightly way


And yet I am still weak.


Run! Run! Run!


For the strong are the weak.


Could it be? The weak ?are the strong?


Where is my heart?


She grabbed his hand. It was a simple and gentle touch. But something surges through--- And it was killing him. It seem like he had open a box of memories by touching this girl?s hand.


He gasps in fear. But of what?


She was scared.


She searches for him.


She kept on dreaming?believing it was free.


She pleas, but the plea didn?t come.


He didn?t come.


She was?stained. And it couldn?t be wash off. Not even those two words. No ?I?m sorry? could ever take what happens to her.


And yet he wasn?t sure. This emotion just passes into him. Maybe, just maybe this girl was---no it couldn?t be. Not that?


Please tell me it?s not that.


?It?s raining. Come with me!? But he didn?t move. And the girl speaks again.


?I hate the rain! Do you hate it too? ?ka-san hate it. She says it was raining when he left and that he was only searching for the truth?for a home, when right then and there he already had, ?ka-san said he was stupid but she love him. And she would always talk to her self saying, "Why couldn?t you see that the truth is just inside you? That this is your home now? every time it would rain. I really don?t know what she means and who is ?he? but I understand her somehow.?


What is the truth?


Could there be no truth at all?


Could it be all along, my home is here?


The girl smiled again and pulled him. And he followed obediently. ?I hate the rain too? he whispered.


It was raining when I died.


I died when I left my home.


When I left her alone.


Then please rain it again to let me live again.



It didn?t take a minute to reach the house of this girl. Why is this house built in the outskirts of Konoha? Then his world stopped. He saw her. Holding an umbrella as she had only came out of the door as if going to fetch her daughter. NO! Where did that thought came? Of course it couldn?t be!


??ka-san!? Now this girl is proven irritating. The ?mother? looked at them aghast. Then calmed herself for a while breathing from one to three.


?Aiko-chan! Come inside now!?


??ka-san I had a friend. Could he stay too??


?Maybe you should go inside first, I would just want to --talk to your friend first.? She answered back, holding the rage on her heart, or was it hope?


?What? Oh okay.? Little Aiko run inside and waved her hands before really coming in.


?Perhaps you would like to talk inside?? she was calm. She was, off course she was! But he didn?t move, didn?t speak. And she knew well he would have this conversation outside like this. Gods he didn?t care even if it was raining.


?It?s been a long time huh? Sakura.?


She nodded grasping the umbrella tighter. ?So?You?ve moved on. I guess I just kept running on circles, I haven?t yet.? He continued.


She looked at him as if asking ?was there something for you to move on?? No?she was the only one who plays the stupid part of loving him.


?I?ve?searched for you. But I ended up being?like this. You don?t know what I?ve gone through. I was?scared. I wanted to find you.? She laughed trying to wash all the pain by doing that but she was failing.


?I?ve come back now.?


Why do you have to come back now that I have just finished saying goodbye?




?So what truth did the ALMIGHTY Uchiha Sasuke gain after his ever long great journey?? the sarcasm on her voice didn?t miss his ears.



She was failing. She was crying now.



?I love you?





-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
this is my first NARUTO fic ever. and the only one for now.


Vocabulary:
Tadaima- means ?I?m home? or ?I?m back?

[csmlee]

TELL ME THAT IS SASUKE'S DAUGHTER!!!!!!!

Ethereal-moonrain: Hmm... no?
Cheryl: Aww... *pouts* But Sasuke loves Sakura!!!
Ethereal-moonrain: That's not the point. The point is he wasn't there for her!
Cheryl: But... but... but... he loves her!!! *pouts more*
Ethereal-moonrain: Wipe that pout off your face. It's not working. -__-

?So what truth did the ALMIGHTY Uchiha Sasuke gain after his ever long great journey?? the sarcasm on her voice didn?t miss his ears.
She was failing. She was crying now.
?I love you?

Aww... *melts into a puddle of sap-goo*

So... Sasuke loves Sakura, who met an unknown man on her journey to find Sasuke, and ended up having a super uber cute daughter with this unknown man even though she probably still loves Sasuke...

I guess they can't win against *coughs*theauthor*coughs* fate...

So where is the father of Sakura's daughter? I'm assuming they're not married. Or else the man would be living with Sakura and the girl... I think.

Anyway, great start! Hope to read more soon!!!
