See the Light

“Haruno Sakura! You bitch! How could you! What the hell do you thing you’re doing?” A very enraged Ino stormed into Sakura’s examining room. Sakura was completely shocked at her immature entrance.

“Ino? What the? What’s the matter with you? Sakura said backing up over her own chair as Ino stormed forward towards her.


“You know exactly what’s the matter, bitch! Sasuke is mine, and he’s always been mine and you know it.” Ino slapped her across the face. Sakura screeched and turned her head sideways. There was a huge red handprint on her face. She slowly looked back at Ino.

“What the hell is wrong with you? You are 18 years old and you just slapped me like a child. Why do you act like this Ino? It’s stupid. I thought you and I were over this?” Sakura said calmly.

“To hell, we’re over with this you stupid whore. You don’t think I’ve see you with him. Holding on to him…acting as if he’s yours…letting him touch you because you’re a loose worthless piece of shit! ” Ino tried to hit her again but Sakura blocked her.

“Ino…stop it. Saskue picked me…not you…me. I’m sorry. If you feel the need to act like a baby go ahead…but it won’t change a damn thing.” Sakura’s voice was low and serious. Her green eyes burning into Ino’s.

“No! You slut! You knew what you were doing…you knew to lay low until you could get him in your pants. As for me, I’ve kept trying and trying for him since the day he came back and you....You fucking whore! You get him first…Well, I’ll get him next…just wait…he doesn’t give a shit about you. It’s me Sakura…it’s always been me.” Inos’ voice was hateful and she fluttered her blue eyes at Sakura, Sakura remained unnerved. It was obvious Sakura’s experience as a ninja was showing and her composure as a woman was undaunted. Sakura touched the burning red hand print on her face. Ino began to back out of Sakura’s office gritting her teeth, her eyes on fire with rage.

“You’ll see…you’ll see who he really wants…and trust me…I have a much better body than you…I have sweeter lips than you…you may be the cherry blossom…but I’m the wild one. Goodbye…Haruno…Sakura.” Ino left and Sakura could feel her pulse race. She couldn’t imagine Ino acting this way. She had no idea she was this jealous and the truth was…she didn’t give a shit. She knew Sasuke was hers and besides he was meeting her after work. She had to work until after dark and Sasuke wasn’t about to let her on the streets alone. That night Sasuke walked form Sakura’s apartment towards the hospital.

“Sasuke, Where are you going in such a hurry?” a seductive voice called to him. Sasuke stopped, he squinted his eyes. And turned his head. It was none other than Ino.

“Go away.” He said completely monotone.

“Sasuke, don’t do this, you know you want me…not her…not that bitch.” Ino tried to put her arms around him. Sasuke pushed her away. His sharingan had activated because he felt threatened.

“Don’t you ever, ever call Sakura that again! I swear Ino, I will kill you and think nothing of it. You’re a sad girl who acts like she’s a kid. Now shut up and get the hell out of my way.” Sasuke red eyes burned into hers and she could feel the untamed rage. She indeed backed away.

“But Sasuke…I’m willing to show you everything that she’s not.” Ino started to unbutton her shirt. Sasuke could feel anger take him over. The truth was, he hated Ino. She hadn’t left him alone since he had returned. She had tried and tried and tried to give herself to him…but Sasuke’s intentions were for a lovely pink haired angel. Sasuke whipped out a kunai from underneath his shirt and held it to Ino’s neck. It was the only way to get her to leave him alone.

“This is your final warning. Back off…leave Sakura alone. She’s mine.” Sasuke put the kunai away once again. Ino backed up farther. It was more than obvious Sasuke wouldn’t ever be hers. He walked away from her, hands in pockets and the red in his eyes slowly fading back to black.

“Do you love her?” Ino asked, tears rolling down her face. Sasuke turned around and looked her in the eyes. He then spun around and faced his back toward her and walked toward the hospital. He never answered her.

Sakura was sitting on the front steps of the hospital. She had to put aloe on her face to attempt to reduce the redness. Sasuke appeared shortly. Sasuke smiled and quickly rose from the steps. When Sasuke got close enough to her, he noticed the large red handprint across her face.

“Sakura, what happened?” He asked resting his fingertips on the red mark. Sakura’s face grew solemn.

“Ino…she…” Sasuke cut her off.

“No! She was here..today?” his rage was boiling again.

“Ino came into the hospital throwing a fit. She slapped me. She was all pissed and she kept saying how you wanted her not me.”

“She stopped me on the way here…I threatened to kill her. I hate her. The truth is, now that I’m calm I wouldn’t kill her, just fight her off. But, when I’m that angry I really lose it.” Sasuke said his fingers still on the mark on her face. Sakura put her arms around him.

“It really is me, isn’t it? I mean, it’s never been her has it?”

“No. It’s you Sakura.” Sasuke held her for a moment before taking her hand and leading her down the steps of the hospital. They walked back to her apartment, no sign of Ino no fear of her attacking Sakura. Sakura dug through her bag for the key. She hadn’t thought about getting it out so she could just let them both in immediately. Sasuke stopped her and pressed her into the door. He kissed her, leaning into her allowing all his weight to rest on her. He pulled away from her lips ever so slightly. He put his hands on her shoulders.

“I love you.” He said to her, loud enough only for her and no one else to hear.
