(29) Sasuke leaving

REIKA POV

I was humming to myself as I was walking to the hospital see when Sasuke and the team got back he was immediately hospitalized due to his many injuries 'oh he's gonna be injured when I'm done with him' I say with a mischievous smirk which then morphed into an innocent smile

I got to the hospital and immediately went to his room "ne nii-" I noticed the room was empty 'what?!' I had a confused look with a small sweat droplet -_-'

'uh, hey. where did everyone go' I glance at the broken dish on the floor with scattered pieces of...apple around the area 'and what happened here?!'

then heard a loud bang from above I ran to the roof finding a worried Sakura watching in horror as they were about to collide to be honest I was to, my mouth hung open as it fell to the floor you can say.

'what...the.....heck is going on here' but just then Kakashi-san appeared and deflected the two into a couple of water towers.

"what are you guys doing on top of the hospital" the grey haired jonin asks "you went a bit to far for a fight, were you trying to kill Naruto, Sasuke?"

"What are you doing giving yourself a sense of superiority" he scolds "The size of the chidori wasn't one to be aimed at comrades of the same village. why such infantile behavior...?" Sasuke's glare only hardens

"S-Sasuke" I panted all eyes shift to me I saw his cold, emotionless eyes blazing dark red of the Sharigan before he jumped the fence 'nani'

I just stood there with blank eyes "hey Kireina-chan, are you okay?" Naruto said putting a reassuring hand on my shoulder

I didn't reply but instead I broke from the blonde's grasp and turned heel and quietly walked out.

SASUKE POV

I was sitting on a branch of a tree Contemplating several past events from the battle with Garra where Naruto summoned the giant toad and all I could do was watch as Naruto defeated him

how weak I gotten compared to naruto how I couldn't protect Ki-Ki how she got injured on my watch, I cursed myself for not being there to protect her. cursing myself that I wasn't strong enough to he couldn't even protect her even from...him.

suddenly I felt wires trap myself against the tree, then suddenly Kakashi appeared in front of me. Sasuke only gave a hard glare towards the silver haired shinobi.

"What is the meaning of this?" I questions

"If I didn't do this then you've run away. your not the type to listen quietly. while I preach. Sasuke...Quite seeking revenge. In this line of work I've seen how bad guys like you can get. In the end those who taste revenge were not feel satisfied, it ends in tragedy. You'll only hurt and suffer more. even if you succeed in your revenge all you'll feel is emptiness. And what would your little sister think then? That both of her brother's were heartless murders."

"What the hell? Don't talk to me like you understand me I shouted And don't bring Ki-ki into this" I added

"hey, calm down"

"What if I were to Kill the ones you love most? How far would you stray from what you just said? I can make you feel true pain!"

"That would work...unfortunately...for me, no such person exist. Those people have already been killed. he" states "I've also lived a long and hard era. I too understand true pain and loss."

"give up on this senseless revenge, it wont give you the satisfaction you seek, if not for me but for her sake" Kakashi said before he left

REIKA'S POV

I was meditating in my candlelit room, meditating, trying to to clear my head from the past few weeks as they were bit...chaotic?! I don't even know if that descried the half of it; or my entire life for a matter of fact.

I noticed that somehow fell asleep sometime ago. A bit later I heard my door open, I close my eyes as I pretend to sleep. I immediately knew who it was by the sound of their voice. I'm sorry imoto

SASUKE POV

After the battle with the sound 4, I made up my mind, I was in my room packing my things. My eyes lay on a picture of team 7 when we first formed. I glanced at it for a moment before placing it face down.

Quietly walked into Ki-ki's room, I saw her slumped against the bed as incense burned 'she must of been meditating' I gently picked her up and gently placing her in bed.

I'm sorry imoto I whispered lightly kissing her forehead You have to understand why I'm doing this. I know your gonna hate me for this but that doesn't matter, I'm gonna get stronger and avenge the clan I said with a blank expression for the both of us...for mother, father and everyone that he has killed. I say with venom laced in my tone hn, I guess knowing this way is better I muttered to myself walking out

KIREINA POV

Unbeknownst to him I heard all of it I can't believed he actually leaving me I mean he was acting a bit weird lately but leaving me. I refuse to believe it. He just can't leave me...can he?! my breath hitched but he was already on the other side of that door. I waited a few more seconds before I put on my leggings and tee and dashed out.

I open my front door and see him a few feet away Sa-su-ke I whispered as my voice cracked a bit, try to hold back my tears.

SASUKE POV

I was a few feet when I heard the front door open I turned my head, looking back, I saw Kireina standing there her onyx eyes staring at me in disbelief as faint tears started to form. Sa-su-ke her voice cracked a bit. T-th-this can't be it can't she cried in denial; more to herself then to me. Holding back her tears to no avail as they started to leak down her cheeks as she clenched her eyes shut.

Take me with you she demanded

no I said in a cold tone she flinched a bit

Sasuke you don't know how much I need you her breath hitched it will devastate me that-I-I do 't want to be alone. I can't. she quietly muttered the last part as to not let me hear her voice crack her gaze was directed at the floor

go back to bed Ki-ki I order, with a neural gaze

are you going to leave she asked

yes I simply say

she tries to say something bit close her mouth and gaze at her feet in despair I get why but-There has to be another, there just got to be she said just above a whisper in a pleading tone

no, this is the only way I sternly retort narrowing my eyes slightly

she sniffed softly before gathering what was left and yelled I DON'T BELIEVE YOU. THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER WAY! It just has to be. she was on the brim of tearing up

no, you know that as much as I do I simply said

she took a sharp breath, averting her eyes a bit and said a bit hesitantly W-will you come back

yes I wasn't sure but that's the answer she wanted to hear

promise me...that you won't die

I promise I said as I started to walk away

I love you nii-chan I hear her shaky voice quietly say

KIREINA POV

I love you nii-chan my shaky voice quietly muttered, not sure if he heard me or not but I just stared as he walked as soon off I went inside, slumping against the door as it closed as I felt week as my sharingan was continuously draining my chakra. I didn't mind much as I was drowning in my own self pity.
