[Ah hello! I am very sorry this is definitely late! I got caught up again and fell behind, but I hope this is still in the spirit of the month- even if it does not qualify for entry! Ah I am so sorry! I am still working on the other prompts as well! Let’s see if I can finish them quickly! I wanted this one to feel almost like a mission from when they were younger, ah nostalgic (*´∀`*) It was really hard to incorporate the feeling of the old manga style- I do not think I did it very well! But in the end, I think I am happy with it! Please enjoy and forgive me for how messy it is or mistakes it might have- I have been working on this late at night and was very tired! Please take care!]

A game of chasing and being chased
Tag
A label given by a giver
Tag
An added afterthought
Sakura was always playing tag with Sasuke
But it was always different
She would chase him
She would catch him
She would let him go
Just to chase him again
Because Sasuke would not chase her
Because Sakura was always it
Sakura was always labeled annoying by Sasuke
And it was always hurting
She would love him
She would hug him
She would let him go
Just so he could call her annoying
Because Sasuke was bothered by her affections
Because Sakura was always caring
Sakura was always an after thought tagged on by Sasuke
And it was always painful
She would accompany him
She would protect him
She would let him go
Just for him to forget her
Because Sasuke couldn’t care for her existence
Because Sakura was always there
And now
Now when there is no Sakura to chase him
He wants to be chased
Now when there is no Sakura to love him
He wants to be loved
Now when there is no Sakura to protect him
He wants to be protected
Now when Sakura is dead
Sasuke wants to tag her
Sasuke wants to love her
Sasuke wants to protect her
But there is no Sakura to tag, to love, to protect
And Sasuke can only wish
He wish to tell her
Sakura stop chasing me
I’m not worth it
Sakura Stop loving me
I’m not worth it
Sakura stop protecting me
I’m not worth it
He wish to tell
Sakura…
Title: The Voice
Day Five – Prompt: Tag
Summary: Time isn't his friend nor is this heat. He has to make it.
Also on fanfiction. Reviews and/or suggestions are always welcomed!
The heat was getting to him. He could tell how hot it was getting as the sweat dripped down along his cheek. With the heat and limited time, Sasuke was exhausted and lost. He continued walking across the field of sand. There was nothing but sand. In the distance, he could see a clear sky but the sun beaming down hard against his skin.
He picked up his pace, slowing down to regain some energy but there was no way he'd stop. This wasn't the time to give up and remain here. Just as he could see a pond, about a mile away, Sasuke hears his name. He looks around, trying to find the source. Again, nothing-not even that pond. Just clear sky and sand.
He walks towards the voice as he gets closer, it becomes familiar. It sounded like someone cared-cared about him. Through the sweat and exhaustion, Sasuke could make out a pink blur.
Sakura.
His feet begins picking themselves up, speed walking against the hot sand. Deep down, he knew he had to give up but seeing Sakura, Sasuke needed that one last push. He needed to get out of here.
There was no panic in her voice. Only worry that she'd never see him again and it'll all be her fault. But he would never blame her. Who would dare blame the woman who had saved thousands of lives?
During the whole time he was here, in he middle of nowhere, Sasuke knew he had to get out. Not just for his sake but the world. There was a war going on and his teammates were waiting for him.
His speed picks up as his feet kicks off, letting his legs go towards her.

Eyes closed.

Two seconds.

Eyes opened again, Sasuke noticed that Sakura was struggling with something. He could sense it was no real danger but it was causing her pain. In a flash, he saw Sakura's vest thrown towards him.
He closes his eyes again before opening them again.
