I'd Come For You
The Last Night
Jasmine was talking to Sakura when she was crowded around by Sakura’s friends. People who just moved to the Leaf Village.
“So,” said Sakura, “what’s this I hear about scars, Jasmine?”
“Scars?” She looked confused. “What are you talking about?”
“Like you don’t know.”
Gaara was watching as Sakura took a kunai and sliced Jasmine’s headband and wristband off of her wrists.
Sakura quickly grabbed Jasmine’s arms and flipped them over, revealing the scars on her wrists.
They all laughed and Sakura shoved her away from them.
“Jasmine,” he whispered. “I’m…sorry…”
Jasmine wanted to cry as Neji went over and punched Sakura in her stomach.
She gasped and flew back.
“Neji, thank you. Even though, now I’m alone. My sister’s dead, everyone, including my mother and father, has replaced me. The one person who I thought was my friend, turned out to despise me. You’re the only one left. Are you going to betray me, too?”
“I would never hurt you, Jasmine.”
“Neji, I can’t take the pain anymore,” she whispered.
“What pain?”
In the past year, Neji had become Jasmine’s friend. Her best friend. “He’s gone, and I’ll never see him again. And Gaara…”
Neji looked at her, and then away. “That pain,” he muttered.
“Yes. Neji, listen to me.”
“I’m listening.”
“I’m…leaving.” She took a deep breath to fight the tears. “You have to promise me that you won’t follow me.”
“Where are you going?”
“Promise me…”
“I can’t until you tell me where you’ll be going…”
“Please,” she whispered, agonized.
“No.”
“Then I have no other choice!” Matsu Kayak no jutsu.
“What--” he passed out.
She caught him in her arms and stared at his peaceful face. He’s my best friend… She kissed his forehead and set him gently against a tree.
“I love you,” she whispered before running off.
Neji woke and remembered. Jasmine.
He looked around, but found her gone. Damn it, I have to find--
“Neji, what are you doing all the way out here?”
“Kiba…Jasmine’s gone.”
“What? Where’d she go?”
“I don’t know. She did a jutsu that made me pass out and now five minutes later, here I am.”
“She couldn’t have gotten that far. Let’s go.”
Jasmine was almost out of Konaha, when the ambush started.
While Kiba held a kunai to her throat, Neji tied her wrists together.
“What the hell, Neji,” she yelled.
“I don’t want you going off to kill yourself!”
“What makes you think I want to do that?!” she yelled angrily.
“I-I don’t know.”
Suddenly she saw sand coming toward her and she screamed, “No!” She pulled her wrists and the ropes snapped. She then ran as fast as she could away.
As she looked back, she saw Neji, Kiba and even Gaara chasing after her. Gaara…I love you. She did a hand sign and disappeared.
She then appeared in the Sand Village. Wow. She looked around and then Gaara appeared before her.
“Damn it, go away!” she snarled.
“No. Konaha…they want you back.”
“I won’t go back. I want to live in the Sand Village…again.”
“Again?”
“I lived here when I was one…to fourteen. I was your…friend.”
“What?!”
He staggered back, eyes wide. “No! You’re lying! My only friend was--”
“Kaori.”
“She died…when she was fourteen…”
“Are you so sure about that, Aku?”
“My…my old nickname.”
“Now do you see?”
He stared.
“Did…did you really kill my sister?”
“I thought I did, but she…got away.”
“Gaara…”
“Hm?” He was looking anywhere but at her.
“Why did you tell me that you despise me?”
He looked her dead in the eye and said, “Because I do.”
Her face fell. “Oh…”
He disappeared.
