Hey all! I was making another story, but I decided to slightly alter the story that I was originally planning with Demon within. Believe it or not, Gaara wasn't the right guy to tell the story with, which I wouldn't have even thought back then!
Warning, I have a tendency to curse a little, I'm getting a bit more violent and I'm addicted to lemons. This is kind of funny, since I'm actually allergic to lemons lmao! (Well, all citrus, but lemons are in that group...)
This won't start way too fast, I'm trying to learn to pace myself a little, but I'm not sure that I'll succeed quite yet!
Prologue-
Sakura sat on the earth, feeling the numbness slowly take her over. Fighting surrounded her, her friends yelled and screamed and died, but she couldn't get her legs to move, or her head to turn. He'd always said that his whole purpose to life was to kill his brother, which he'd done. Now he had attacked Konoha, Obito was in the fight for his life against a irate Kakashi. No one had realized it was him. No one realized that Obito was using his one good eye to alter their heads, changing the image to that of Madara, Using such a powerful name to take revenge against those that had abandoned him as a youth. If only he knew how much of his life Kakashi had wasted at that shrine...
Sakura didn't care about any of that now, not that Sai was bleeding profusely from his back, continuing his own assault against the Akatsuki army of however many were left now, as Kisame had backed away after discovering the truth about Pein and Madara. He would have fought for Madara, but not this fake. Somewhere out there the real Madara waited, and he was going to get to him before anyone else. The girl that had swooned on Sasuke's shoulder, letting Sakura know that he belonged to her was now dead somewhere behind her, but the only thing she cared about was the face before her. He looked so peaceful lying there. His eyes looking at her. He smiled before he died. She broke the strain in her head, a terrified scream echoing across the field and Obito looked at her, then to his newest set of eyes. He frowned, his only hope now that he could reclaim his own eye and maybe Kakashi would have used it enough to make him immortal, but that hope was dashed to threads as Kakashi ran him through before running to Sakura's side.
He grabbed her and flew from the scene, her arms reaching out, trying to grasp the still frame of the last Uchiha, the only one she'd ever loved.
"SASUKE!!" Kakashi dropped her on the roof of a nearby building and leaped back to battle. He'd mourn or laugh or whatever over Obito's loss again later.
It was not till later that day that the battle was over, Naruto sitting in the center of the field, his eyes still glazed over, Tsunade doing her best to keep him alive after the Kyuubi had been ripped out of him, his own best friend had grabbed the Kyuubi and had freed him, taking over the boy's body. Sasuke never would have guessed that the demon's first attack would have been himself. Or that within minutes Sakura would stab a kunai straight through his heart. He had looked at her. Sakura raised her hands over her eyes, sobs stuck in her chest, constricting it to the point where she couldn't breathe. He'd looked at her and smiled, poking her in the forehead. "Thank you." Sakura didn't know what had happened till his hand dropped, his smile now permanently etched across his face. She looked down at her hands, still grabbing the kunai. Her fingers widened over her eyes, seeing the field below her. It was real... It had all been real...
"NOO!!" She jumped from the roof, running over to the body of the man she'd loved and grabbed his shoulder. "You come back to me! You bastard! You can't die that easily! You come back!!" Tsunade looked her way for an instant, the obvious pain in her eyes. She knew what that felt like.
Kakashi walked over to her, finally deciding that the attackers were as dead as they were going to get. "Sakura, I'm sorry." He lifted his headband for the last time that day and as she turned to him, she passed into a deep sleep.
I know, really short for me, I'm hoping to get out another chapter tonight! Let me know what you think! R&R!!
Laterz!
