Is It a Sin to Love Her?

By: YamiInux

"Foolish little brother, you know nothing, your a waste of blood and don't know

when to give up. You are stupid and cursed with the things you have seen and

will see. You are foolish and nothing compared to me. You are nothing" I

suddenly awoke, his name and voice rattling in my head, I stud up. I felt light

headed, but I kept moving. I walked up to where Sakura was lying on the grass

for the night. She was glowing in the sun, it was mid day.

I shook her for a minute, "Sakura...Sakura..., I said softly, "Come on Sakura we

have to keep moving."

Sakura's big green eyes slowly opened. "Sas-..Sasuke," she whispered. Sakura

sat up slowly and cocked her head at me. "Sasuke where are we going today," she

asked as she got up and put her shoes on.

"I don't know" I answered her as I put my shoes on. Sakura sat down next to me

as I stud up. I stud I front of her.

"Is he going to find us?" she asked sheepishly as she looked down.

I kneeled down, eye level with her. I put my hand under Sakura's chin lifting it

up so she looked at me. Her eyes were filled with tears. "Look at me, I will

never let him hurt you, I promise." I said as I wiped her tears away. "We should

go." she told me.

She stud up and walked in front of me and started laughing. "What?" I said

laughing as well. "Your-...," Sakura said as she walked towards me, Your leg,

Noitaro is biting your pack on your leg." she said still laughing.

Keato and Noitaro were wolf pups Sakura and I had found about a month ago. They

were very young. In Japanese Keato means "young spirit" and Noitaro means

"beautiful creature". I grabbed Noritaro and set him down. I forgot that I had

food in my pack. I was just happy to see Sakura smile. We took our stuff and

started walking. We walked along side the Ninchu River and the Kalitochi

mountains. "I think we should stop at the next town, Chubik, we need to get some

more food, since Noitaro ate the rest of it." I said listening to Sakura giggle.

I love to hear her laugh. "Ok." she replied. I took out the map and pointed to

where we needed to be by night fall. She shook her head at me and said, "We will

never make it by dark, we should stop um...here. Sakura pointed to a small

village called Kitoma.

Keato and Noitaro were playing and Sakura and I went up to them and saw a path

that went that way. Sakura picked up Noitaro and Keato and put then in her

backpack. She left it open and there heads popped out of the bag. We came to the

village and saw about 20 people working in rice fields, and about 10 gathering

water. There was a man who looks vary familiar. I thought for a minute. "Sasuke,

what's wrong?" Sakura asked me.

"N-...nothing" I replied unsure of what I had seen. No it couldn't be him, hear,

now, why would he be here, now? I thought to myself, asking myself why? I dare

not say this out loud, I don't want to startle Sakura.

"Hello young travelers." one of the old women said.

"Hello!" Sakura said so happy and cheerful. She let Noitaro and Keato out of her

bag. They ran off playing.

The old woman showed us to an old hut after we asked her if we could stay. "You

can rest here for the night."

"Thank you" I said shaking the woman's hand. It was night fall when Sakura asked

me why I froze like that in the entrance of the village.

"Sakura I don't mean to frighten you but I think he's here."

Sakura's face was pale white. Sas-...Sasuke, Im afraid" she whispered to me.

"Come here..." I told her, she obeyed and slowly walk towards me then ran to me.

"Oh Sasuke please don't let him find me" she whimpered tucking her in my arm.

"I won't let him find you...promise." I told her. Sakura had fallen asleep,

leaning on me. I set her down on the blanket on the floor. I later fell asleep

next to her. "Your friend is not safe, Sasuke. Protect her with your life,

Sasuke, protect her, protect her, and protect her!" I sat up, out of breath, a

picture of a shuriken on a table next to a door was flashing in my head. I

looked over, Sakura was gone!

I was worried. I ran outside the hut and asked the old woman if she has seen

Sakura, "yes, she look quite frazzled." the woman answered.

"Which way did they go?" I asked as I grabbed my gear. "North", the woman

answered.

"Okay, thanks." I yelled as I was running. I was terrified for Sakura. I had

promised her that I wouldn't let him find her. I kept running until I came to an

old house about 3 miles from the village. I slowly walked into the house. I

could hear Sakura crying. I followed her weeping until I came to a locked room.

I kicked the door down with ease. Inside I saw Sakura tied up against a wall.

Her clothes were torn and she had bruises all over her, she was bleeding from

the nose and mouth. I ran to her but only to be stopped by him. He grabbed me

and pinned me to a wall, opposite Sakura. He wanted me to see her suffer in

agony. "Let her go!" I yelled holding in my tears, I feared for Sakura's life.

"You let your feelings get the best of you, Sasuke." he said as he tied me up

against the wall. "You have grown weaker since the last time I saw you and

Sakura, oh when was that, when Naruto was still alive!"

Sakura and I were a 3 partner ninja group, but when he found us he killed Naruto

and almost killed Sakura. He told me he would find us and kill Sakura! Thats why

she and I are always on the move now, but he found us, and he is right, I am

weaker. "Sasuke!" Sakura yelled in fear of my life when I was worried about her

own.

"SHUTUP" he yelled throwing a hand of senbon at her. "AH!" Sakura screamed as

the sharp senbon needles pierced him skin. I gasped, she was bleeding in the

arms and legs, and one hit the side of her throat, but not a fatal wound. She

was weeping for me to save her again, but I was tied to the wall. he walked up

to her, pulling out a kuna. He stabbed her in the arm. "NO!" I screamed for him

to stop. "what do you want!" I pleaded.

"What do I want? I want you to be stronger! Her life is too precious to you, she

is holding you back! So I will kill her, just as I killed Naruto, mother,

father, I will kill her! So when we meet again, I will have a challenge!" he

explained to me, yet I didn't understand.

"No, NO I will not let him kill her!" my thoughts ran through my head. "NO, I

won't let you kill her!" I yelled as I broke free of the ropes he had tied me up

with. "No!" he was stunned with my strength. Both our eyes turned red with

Sharingan. Our hands locked with each others. He was pushing me one way and I

the other. I looked at Sakura, crying, bleeding, scared. I remembered my dream;

your friend is not safe, then seeing a shuriken by a door after my dream. I

looked over at the door and saw it! I jumped towards it a grabbed it and threw

it at him. It hit him; I was surprised that he didn't doge it. It hit him in the

leg. It was bleeding like crazy. He didn't give up though. He went for me! I

dodged him with ease. He looked over at his leg again, seeing that he would not

last any longer.

"Don't think that this is over Sasuke! Because its NOT!" he ran out of the old

house, a trail of blood following him.

I ran to Sakura hoping she was still alive. She was, but barley. I was now

crying. "Sakura! Please be alive, don't die, and dont die, please." I pleaded as

I untied her. She was breathing vary heavily. I was sorry I had gotten her into

this, I was sorry she was hurt, I was so sorry.

I took Sakura back to the village. The old woman was surprised to see Sakura so

badly injured. She called the shaman of the village. He came and took Sakura

into a hut across from the one Sakura and I stayed in. I was not allowed in the

hut until she was bandaged up. I was so worried about her. I tried to hold in my

emotions but couldn't. The old woman came out "you may see her now", she said

smiling at me. I walked in to see Sakura just lying there, smiling at me, she

was okay, she was okay, and she was okay! "Sakura, your okay!" said so happily

to see her happy.

"Sasuke, are you okay?" she asked thinking of my wounds instead of her own.

"Sakura Im fine, Im more worried about you" she smiled and looked at my arms,

seeing the bandages. I knew she was concerned for me. About 3 months after that,

Sakura had fully recovered from he wounds, but she had scars from when the

senbon had punctured her skin. She was sore but okay. Sakura wouldn't stop

saying thank you to me, I knew she was grateful.

"Sakura, I think you should stay here. I tried to tell her.

"No, please Sasuke no!" she begged me. "I feel safe...with you,

please...Sasuke...please." she said as she held back her tears.

"But Sakura you would be safer elsewhere" I tried to convince her.

"Please Sasuke...please." She begged me. There was a pause. "Come on Sakura" I

waved my hand signaling her that she could come. She was so happy to see she was

letting her come with me. Sakura grabbed Keato and Noitaro and put them in her

bag again, heads sticking out. We had gotten enough food for the trip to the

town of Chubik. About half way there, we stop at a town called Horon meaning

"Pheanix" in Chinese.

"According to legend the first Phoenix was born here." Sakura explained to me as

she read from a small stone on the ground. The stone was chipped on the left

side, probably due to the strange weather they have here. They have hale storms

often. Sakura was tired from the trip; she was still injured from what happened

to her about a month and a half ago. "Get on my back Sakura." I told her as I

bent down.

Ok." she said sleepily.

She got on my back, she felt very light, she soon fell asleep. When we got to

the town I woke her up. "Sakura? Were here." I said this as she slowly opened

her big green eyes and looked at the town.

We are?" she asked as she got off my back.

I shook my head. "Yes, we are." I answered her as I stretched my back out. There

were large buildings and lots of cars. Where Sakura and I were located, the cars

were the size of ants. The buildings were enormous and there were lots of people

walking around their homes and offices. It was amazing to see some many people

in one small area.

"Uh..." Sakura said as she backed up.

I started laughing and said, "Its okay Sakura" Sakura so was frightened. I

assured it was okay again. She slowly stepped closer but hid behind me. I walked

away from her and walked towards the large city. Sakura was frozen and then

stepped next to me.

"Okay lets go" I said, as Sakura followed me. When we got to the main part of

the city we met a man named Tony. "You must be Sakura, am I right?" he asked us.

"Yes, his is Sakura." I answered him. Tony was a nice man and he had helped me

before. During the time when I had lost everything! I thought in my head so many

ideas and I couldn't believe it when Sakura spoke. She seemed so, well out of

it. Tony took us to an old house way outside of town; by some vary old rice

fields. They never use them anymore for they had advanced beyond rice fields.

"You can stay here for the time being." Tony told us, and then he left.

Sakura soon started to talk once again. She almost wouldn't stop until a noticed

something on the wall. It was an old photo. "What is it Sasuke?" Sakura asked, I

barley noticed her voice. I wiped the dust off the old photo. I couldn't believe

my eyes! It was an old photo of my mother, father, and brother, and I. I was so

surprised I backed up so fast I ran in to a table. I ran out the door,

forgetting that Sakura was still in the old house. I remembered that picture,

that day.

Flashback "brother, when are we taking the family photo?"

"Soon Sasuke, soon!"

"Okay". Sasuke walked towards a table with a sword on it.

. "What is this brother?"

"Sasuke do you ever stop asking questions!" Sasuke stepped back and went

outside.

"Father, where is Mother?"

Sasuke, stop asking questions please!" Sasuke frowned and walked into the

forest, hoping to fine an animal to befriend.

"Sasuke!" called Sasuke's mother.

"Coming mother!" he replied. Sasuke started to run towards his house.

"Oh, Sasuke youre all wet." Sasuke's mother exclaimed.

"Sorry mother" Come on people I have over 15 more families in the Uchiha clan to

photograph todayThe photographer said. Snap the camera was printing the picture

a second after.

Go off and play." Sasuke's father said.

"Okay" Sasuke ran off into the forest again.

About 15 min later, Sasuke returned. He came home to a blood dripped village.

"Mother? Father? Anyone!" Sasuke yelled franticly looking for his family.

Stepping around the dead bodies of his clan Sasuke stepped into his house and

saw his brother standing over there parents bloody bodies. "Brother what

happened!" Sasuke said crying at the same time. Sasuke fell to his knees and

asked again.

His brother turned around and said "You, you don't understand what power is do

you?

Why did you kill them brother. WHY?"

Sasuke said weeping. I was testing my strength" Sasuke's brother answered.

Flashback ends

I shook my head, trying to get it out of my mind. I started to cry. Sakura was

still at the house; I thought to myself, I have to protect her. "Sasuke!" Sakura

yelled. I turned around and looked at her face, it was draped in tears. She knew

what had happened oh so long ago. I walked back slowly, as I looked at the

ground. As I looked, I saw a feather, white as snow; it had a little pink spot

at the tip. I stopped to pick it up, and then started walking again. When I

finally got to Sakura I put the pink tipped feather in her hair. She smiled, it

made me fell better.

I walked with her into the old house. She pointed towards a rotten frame; it was

the picture of my mother and father. It was dusty and it looked like it was

going to fall apart. I picked it up and look at it closely. My eyes were

directly interested it the bottom of the photo. I looked even closer, almost

straining my eyes. I saw a small peace of white, on a dark blue canvas. I popped

the picture out of the frame and look behind the picture.

There was a note. I looked at Sakura, she looked puzzled. I looked back at the

note, while Sakura came closer to me so she could see. I could feel her warmth.

I opened the note and saw another note. I opened that one and then there was

another one, and another, and another! "This is pointless!" I yelled in

frustration. I opened the note again and saw a blue and pink necklace. I was

surprised to see a necklace in a note. I picked up the necklace, showed it to

Sakura and then looked at the back. It had something engraved on the back. I

looked at it closely and saw "Uchiha clan's soul" written on the back. I was

even more confused then before. I started to remember...I clasped the necklace,

I remembered what is. The necklace was an old heirloom from my great great

grandmother. She gave it to me...well kinda. She had told me that she hid it,

and that I would find it when I was ready."

I explained. "Ready for what?" Sakura asked me vary curiously.

I stuttered trying to get out of having to tell her. "Well...its a sign that you

have found someone special, someone you would risk your own life for, someone

you can't live without." I finely said. "Who is that? The one you care so much

about?"

Sakura said unsure of who it might be. "Well-...um-...Im-...Im not sure." I

answered, but felling guilty about not telling her the truth. She walked out

after I answered; I knew she thought it was someone else. I felt very sorry. She

was so kind to me and I couldn't even tell her. I sighed and walked outside

after her. When I got outside she wasn't there. One thought came through my

mind, Itachi! I ran and ran, not even knowing if I was going in the right

direction.

So many thoughts went through my head but stayed focused on her. I ran about a

mile before I came to a river. I saw a trail of blood leading to the river's

bank. I franticly looked around until my eyes were drawn to the white feather I

had given Sakura sitting on a rock next to a ribbon, Sakura's ribbon.

I ran down the river for at least 15 minutes. At last I saw a pink color in the

far distance. It was Sakura but she looked strange. I stop about 20 feet from

her, not knowing what Itachi had planed. Sakura was crying. She was tied up and

was trying to say something but couldn't. I stepped forward slowly, but all of

the sudden Sakura's eyes widened with fear. Something was wrong. I looked at

Sakura again. She started to sob. I didn't understand what she was trying to

say. I look at Sakura's eyes; she looked at me and then the ground.

I looked at the ground until I noticed a pile of leaves. I removed some of the

leaves and reviled a spiked bottomed pit. He wanted me to take the bate and fall

into the pit for an easy win. He should know by now that I don't fall for those

kinda things anymore. (Even though I almost did) I jumped into the tree by

Sakura and saw she was covered in blood! I had to find a fast way to get to

Sakura. Her life depended on me! I was thinking franticly. Then saw a black rope

sitting on a blood soaked part of the grass. I grabbed the rope, knowing what

was coming, which was exactly what I wanted! Itachi came out a rammed into me,

HARD! This is exactly what I wanted! For him to come out into the open and to

fight him head on!

Sakura screamed not knowing what I had planed. She was worried but I know that I

was going to be fine .Itachi smiled, I smirked at him. He didn't understand.

"SHARINGAN!" I said loud enough for him to hear me. He stared at me with a nasty

look in his eye until his eyes glowed with the same glare. I pushed further

hoping that Itachi would fall in the river...

wow everyone sorry its so long and I'm sorry if your kinda lost but...I promise

it will make sense :sigh: hopefully XD...sorry for the wolves to but they become

an important part of the story believe it or not. OH btw, DONT KILL ME! I know I

know I had Naruto die...but am he really dead? o spooky. Oh one more thing, I

always forget the disclaimer, I hope all of you know I dont own Naruto...
