I'm back ! This is a short story based on Through her eyes, except it is in Sasuke's POV. It's kinda SasuNaru, but becomes SasuSaku later on...enjoy ! :D

I waited in anticipation. In a little more time my work would be done and my life as avenger would cease to exist. My brother was dead. Akatsuki was no more, as each member was killed one by one, until the leader was killed by Naruto. Little more time until I would prove I was loyal to Konoha and Konoha alone. A little more time until I could see him again, my rival, my teammate, my best friend. Naruto...

My mind drifted briefly to happier times. Naruto and Sakura screaming at Kakashi, as he gave another excuse, Naruto and I supporting each other after completing the tree climbing exercise, the Chuunin exams...then the blur of dark and blood and sweat and snakes that was my time with Orochimaru. My mind snapped back to the present when I sensed the chakra of the Konoha shinobi as they began the attack. Time to get to work.

I knew that there was no way the Leaf ninja would be able to defeat Madara in a head on assault. I also knew that Naruto would lead them and there was no way I would risk his life. Hence my brilliant plan of betraying Madara at the last moment and attacking from the other direction. I unsheathed my sword as they clashed and the world dissolved into blood, reflex and chakra.

I became aware of my surroundings slowly, noting the blood dripping of my sword. On looking, i saw the mangled corpse of Uchiha Madara; mangled because of the combined power of a chidori and a rasengan. I looked up sensing a presence, and saw myself looking at a pair of shocked eyes the colour of the sky. The same eyes that had shown sadness when I left, the same eyes which had shone with the determination to bring me back. I sighed in relief, feeling my exhaustion start to swallow me. "Naruto, I'm so sorry, for everything."

I woke up feeling at peace. I opened my eyes to see white walls and a flash of pink-wait, pink?

Opening my eyes fully, I instantly realized why this place was was the hospital at Konoha. And as for the pink flash...turning my head, I stared at the familiar pink haired medic as she did a bunch of tests on the other occupant of this room. A flash of blonde gave my his identity as well.

"Sakura?"

She turned quickly and looked at me. I met those familiar green eyes with a pang, remembering how she had loved me enough to offer to come with me. I looked away, avoiding the emotions in those eyes, and saw the blonde boy in the other bed. Worried,I looked back at her and asked,"Is he okay?"

Her eyes flicked to the other bed and softened, before looking back at me."Yes, he's fine. just tired. If you hadn't helped him.." she bit her lip and resumed speaking, "..that's one of the reasons you are here and not in some interrogation cell right now you know."

I cleared my throat,"Sakura, I.."

"Save it. I forgive you."

I blinked. "But why ?"

She laughed,"because you're my teammate. Besides, you didn't try to kill me, and Naruto forgave you."

I sighed in relief "Thank you"

It was her turn to blink."Did Uchiha Sasuke actually thank me? Oh the sky is going to fall today."

My witty comeback was interrupted by a small moan. Sakura immediately rushed to the other bed, where movement was visible. A blonde head emerged and azure eyes clouded with sleep blinked lazily, as Sakura checked his vital signs. I was just thinking how cute that looked when his blue eyes met my black eyes. The fog sleep cleared immediately and he stared at me, then looked at Sakura. She nodded happily, and he looked at me with a growing smile that took my breath away.

" Naruto"

"Sasuke?! Hey Sakura, look! I did it! I fulfilled my promise and brought him back! Are you okay?"

Realizing this last question was for me, I nodded. Naruto's smile grew and he gave a shout ( but a relatively soft one, I noticed) of triumph.

"See Sakura-chan? No permanent damage either! Did you talk to him?"

She nodded, still smiling, looking close to tears. "Can you believe it? He actually said thank you."

Naruto looked at me with wide eyes and said," Teme, if I had known that world domination was the way to get that pole out of your ass, I would have done that a long time ago."

Sakura frowned at that, hitting him on the head lightly. "Don't joke about things like that"

He looked at her. "Would you rather release the arrogant Sasuke we once knew into the world?"

She pretended to think,"Well, since its for the greater good, I'll help you."

My expression must have been priceless, for they took one look at it and began laughing.

I frowned and opened my mouth when an ANBU entered the room. "Haruna-san, Hokage-sama wishes you to bring the Uchiha to her room immediately. Uzumaki san can accompany you if he wishes"

I gulped( internally, of course. Uchiha never show their emotions). It was time to enter the lion's cave.

Sooo...what do you think? I'm planning to make it a story. It will be short, and kind of a summary of the future of the Rookie nine +3 + sand siblings. Review please!
