HLPK Status: Hiatus/Discontinued - That story isn't really going anywhere. It's like following the same story line, but it's got a few new lines and Sakura falls in love with Naruto. No new plot. At least with this story I got some freedom. That last story I just digging myself a grave. I mean if people really want me to continue with that then I will... but if not then I'm focusing on this story.

Prologue

Naruto POV

"Sasuke!" I roared out to him. The bastard doesn't do anything except turn his gaze toward mine. His eyes are cold and dark. His face is stoic and unmoving. He stands there not making a move. We both know what will come next. I really wish it could have happened differently.

Sasuke slowly unsheathes his blade, and as he does a small smirk on his face appears. That smirk. That stupid fucking smirk. "Naruto I am going to kill you today. Just like I killed my brother."

I couldn't believe what I heard. Itachi was dead? "Then why do you need to kill me Sasuke? Why can't you just come back to Konoha?"

"You don't get it, do you? The power I felt when my blade had pierced Itachi's flesh was unimaginable! I was finally able to kill the fucking traitor. I felt like I was on top of the world. Until I realized... I could be stronger. I could dominate all who oppose me if I had a certain eye. The Mangekyo Sharingan. After all these years you still are the person closest to me. The one who understood my pain the most. I mean sure, Orochimaru and Kabuto were nice if it weren't for the fact that the bastard was gonna steal my body." Sasuke spoke out angrily.

"There's no way of changing your mind I guess?" I questioned hopefully.

"If I would of wanted to go back, don't you think I would've gone already?" I assumed that was a rhetorical question.

"I guess it really was all a waste of time." I replied wistfully depressed.

"We all can't have what we want, eh Naruto?" Sasuke said. "I don't have all day so lets stop reminiscing." Sasuke charged forward.

Narrator POV

Naruto ducked as Sasuke's sword flew overhead. He sweeped the ground as Sasuke jumped over his leg. Using his spinning momentum Naruto pushed off the ground and kicked Sasuke.

Sasuke arose slowly. A trace amount of blood was on his lips from the kick. He wiped the blood from his mouth and stared at it for a moment. Out of the blue, he begins laughing hysterically. "Dobe you made me bleed, and here I thought you were a waste of time!" He yelled out still laughing.

"Enough with the games!" His laughing stopped as he heard Naruto yell out. An intense gaze followed.

"Yes, enough games." Sasuke looked at Naruto noticing he was weaponless. Sasuke then looked down to his sword, and tossed it aside. His stance shifted as he threw up his fists. "Say Naruto let's see who's better at taijutsu?"

Naruto didn't respond as his hands formed a 'T'. "Kage Bunshin no jutsu." More Narutos popped into existence. Sasuke smirked at the stupidity of his teammate.

"Really Naruto? Don't you ever learn anything new?" Sasuke gracefully charged into the crowd and dispatched the Narutos one by one. Through the crowds he could see the rasengan be formed.

"Hey I said no jutsu dobe! Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!" A flame burst forth from his mouth lighting random bunshins up in smoke. He continued to punch his way through the crowds until he noticed the two Narutos charging towards him.

"You really never change Naruto! Chidori!" As the two balls connect sending the two flying in opposite directions. Sasuke got up and smirked once again as he noticed his opponent still on the floor. He walks over to Naruto. His eyes scan the Naruto on the floor when it poofs away. His eyes widen.

"Doton: Shinju Zanshu no Jutsu!"

"Sasuke just come home! Everybody misses you. Sa-Sakura misses you." Naruto exclaimed as he sat next to Sasuke's head.

"You really are pathetic Naruto! Sakura is still annoying. Me, well I'm never going back." Naruto's face formed a frown, but before he could say anything about Sasuke badmouthing Sakura, he spoke. "Naruto your not the only one who can use Kage Bunshin."

Poof!

Naruto grunted as he felt a sword enter through the front of his stomach. Blood ran across the blade's edge leading back to Sasuke's hand. Sasuke leaned over Naruto shoulder to whisper something into his ear. "Thank you. Chidori Nagashi!" A wave of electricity entered Naruto's body. His body convulsed in pain. Naruto slowly lifted his hand, still leaning against Sasuke, and smacked him on the head.

"Teme..." Naruto slowly slipped away. Sasuke pulled his sword out of Naruto. He lay Naruto's body across the ground.

"You'll never know how much you really meant to me..." Sasuke gently placed his lips on Naruto's.

'SHANNARO! That bitch had it coming anyways.' Inner Sakura yelled out as Sakura admired her handiwork. Karin was laying face down covered in bruises. She wasn't dead, but she would certainly wished she was when she woke up. She ran through the forest frantically searching for Naruto.

She came to a halt when she ran into an opening that was devastated by a previous fight. Her eyes widened when she saw a bleeding form of Naruto being kissed by Sasuke. She really didn't know what to think. The one she loved and sought for so long was... gay? She was thankful for the fact that she had given up on him long ago.

Sasuke finally realized that he was being watched. He looked up at Sakura. 'Oh shit.' He thought. Even though he still had a stoic face he had the decency to blush.

Sakura noticed his eyes. They looked like... Itachi's. She then looked at the bloody form of Naruto. Her mind began to piece together the puzzle that was in front of her. Her eyes began to sting with water. Sasuke realized he got what he had come for and ran. Sakura ran toward Naruto. She dropped to her knees in front of his body.

Her eyes scanned his body and then came upon where Sasuke's sword had pierced him. She then checked for a heartbeat. It was faint. Her eyes widened as she immediately poured chakra onto the wound. The wound was closing, but she didn't have enough chakra to heal all of it. They would have to get back to Konoha in record time.

'It's not possible...'

'Lee can make it!

'Lee!'

She ran back to where she and the others were fighting Team Hebi. The team from Konoha consisted of Sai, Yamato, Kakashi, Sakura, Lee, Hinata, and Tenten. Sakura was surprised when she volunteered for the mission. She focused on the business at hand.

"Lee!"

"Yes Sakura-san?" Lee ran up and saw Naruto. "Is Naruto-kun OK?"

"No, he isn't. Lee you have to get him to the Konoha hospital as fast as possible!"

"I will try Sakura-san." He immediately removed his weights and set off with Naruto on his back.

"He's in critical condition. The electricity caused a artificial seizure of sorts. The wound caused by Sasuke's sword is quite big and broke some of his ribs. Luckily it missed his heart and lungs." Tsunade spoke in a grave voice. "Good news is he will be okay. I don't trust him though so when he is allowed to leave the hospital we will have someone live with him and watch him. Just to make sure he doesn't train, or do anything stupid. Any volunteers?"

Sakura raised her hand. "I would like to take care of the baka, Tsunade-sama."

Tsunade smirked. She had often questioned Sakura on her views of Naruto. Though the response was always the same. A teammate and best friend. "Sorry Sakura not this time. Shizune is currently sick and we need someone to take her shift at the hospital."Sakura frowned. She hated extra shifts at the hospital. She would often end up staying all night long. Plus she needed to tell Naruto what happened while he was unconscious.

"Anyone else?" Hinata raised her hand hesitantly.

"Hinata! Good you will do." Tsunade smiled. It was nice to see that people cared for Naruto. Although she didn't know Hinata liked Naruto that way, but Sakura did and she was glaring daggers at Hinata. Hinata didn't noticed. She couldn't believe she was finally gonna get her chance to admit to Naruto.

Tsunade took noticed to Sakura's glares and Hinata's dreamy look. Then it clicked.

'This could get interesting.'

AN: Meh... Review and I won't tell Kishimoto to go SasuSaku all the way!
