"Take me with you!" Cried a young teenage girl.

The raven haired male stopped walking and slightly turned around. "Hn. You're still annoying."

"Don't leave! I-If you do I'll scream-" Sasuke appears behind the girl.

"Sakura...Arigatou."

With a swift hit, Sakura falls forward, whispering his name. Catching her he carries her bridal style.

"Should I take her with me...kami I don't know..." Thought Sasuke. Looking down at her tear stained face he sees the beauty she truly holds.

"What do I do? I don't want her to see the darkness in store for me...she looks so peaceful. I-"

You want to know what to do? Take her with us.

"Who the hell are you?!"

YOUR INNER BAKA!

"Damn...just when I thought I had my thoughts to myself..."

Come on let's go. Take her with us, you want to have some sanity along right? And you love her don't you?

"Love is a word...I haven't expressed or even used in a long time...but perhaps. She'll just slow us down though..."

It doesn't matter. You become stronger if you have something to protect. Yes you may become stronger by severing your ties with the people who slow you down...but the people who slow you down...end up giving you power in the long run. You'll fall victim to death because of your cockiness and your destruction. The loneliness will be the end of you...and besides do you really want to leave Sakura in this hell-hole?

"Hn. You talk to much..."

Sasuke walks out the gates of Konoha with Sakura in his arms, undetected. Four ninjas await him further up the road.

"What is that which you carry?" Kimimaro questions.

"She is coming with us." Stated Sasuke in a monotone voice.

"AND WHO THE HELL SAID SHE COULD COME?" Tayuya barks aloud.

"Back the hell up and shut your mouth. Sakon...take us to Orochimaru."

"Hmph!" Came Tayuya's reply.


"Well, well SSSSasuke-Kun I see you have come...oh and what'sssss thissss you brought ussss a meal?" Replied Orochimaru evily as he sat upon his snake throne. Kabuto, his assistant; right hand man stood on his right side.

"No." Replied Sasuke.

"I thought I instructed for you to come only."

In lightning speed Orochimari appeared before Sasuke and had him in a choke hold. The movement caused Sasuke to drop Sakura's unconscious body. Orochimaru punches Sasuke in the face, in conclusion he falls. He then proceeds to give him a full beat down.

Due to the ruckus, it caused Sakura to stir. At first everything was blurry, but then she made out figures such as Orochimaru and Sasuke. Her eyes widened as she saw what the snake was doing to him. Her instincts took over and she flash stepped to him crying out all the way.

Punching him in the face, he flys backwards and slams into a wall. Kabuto who was not expecting such strength, flash steps behind her and pins her arms behind her back in a painful angle.

"Hmmm it seems Tssssunade has taught you well, even if you only just started learning." Orochimaru observed. He picks himself off the floor and walks until he stands before her. He slaps her across the cheek causing a line of blood to draw.

"That should put you in your place...now let me see what you can do. Heal him."

His honey finger points towards Sasuke's bruised body.

Running to him, Sakura takes his body into her arms and begins the healing process. His wounds heal in a matter of seconds.

"Lord Orochimaru...perhaps it would be best If I took Sakura on a my apprentice...I could use her. And just think about it sir, she could be a better healer in time, even better than I. She could heal you."

"Hmmm you're making a good point. Are you sure Kabuto?"

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru- Sakura, Sasuke come with me."

Orochimaru exits the room to return to his quarters. Kneeling on the floor Kabuto extends a hand.

"Sorry about that...here let me-"

"Don't touch me! I can heal myself...I will...become the best apprentice I can..." She stated dully.

"Good then let us go." With that he guides Sakura through multiple corridors until he reaches two doors at the end of a hallway. "Okay Sakura...your room is the one on the left while Sasuke's is the one on the right. If you need me my room is two halls down last door on the right. I'll let you clean yourselves up, you'll find clothing in the drawers."

He begins to walk away until he stops altogether. "Oh yes...Sakura...practice starts around eight. Do no be late."

"H-Hai..." Comes her small reply.

"Sasuke your practice starts at eight as well, you'll meet Orochimaru in the training grounds. Ja Ne." With that he disappears in a whirlwind of leaves.


"Come on Sasuke-Kun lets get you in bed." She's about to move towards the direction of his room, however he stops her with his hand. The face he gave her almost bought tears to her eyes, she nodded in understanding and brought him into her room.

"Here Sasuke-Kun." Laying him gently on the bed, she positions his head on the fluffy pillow. She slightly blushes when he looks at her. Reaching for his shirt, Sakura begins to remove it, but Sasuke's hand shoots up and snatches her wrist. She winces.

"I have to check if there are any more wounds...I was only able to heal the visible wounds that Orochimaru could see."

He nods and relaxes as his shirt drops to the floor.

Damn, he is fine Saku-Chan!

"I know look at those abs! My Kami he is only fourteen is that possible?!"

For an Uchiha anything is!

"Dirty girl go back inside!"

Fine! (Her inner walks off all pissed).

"I was right Sasuke-Kun...you have a broken rib and a couple of bruises on your clavicle area..." Stated Sakura professionally. She puts her warm hands on his chest and runs her finers gently along his skin, instantly healing his rib and any bruises on the surface.

"Please sit up."

He does as asked and winces slightly, but all the pain went away instantly when she began to rub his back. She sighs and slowly removes her hands, but he snatches them into his own.

Sakura blushes. "S-Sasuke-Kun...?"

DO it Saske! Show her how much we care! Most of those annoying fan girls wouldn't have bothered with this sorta stuff, nor would they have known how to do it...but Sakura-Chan did! She's smart, pretty, talented, and has amazing chakra control. What more can you ask of a female? Do it.

He looks like he's about to kiss her, but his lips find themselves at her ear. He whispers words she will forever treasure.

"Sakura thank you for this. Thank you for coming with me. I- Sakura stay with me. Don't leave..." He stated quietly.

Tears trickle down her cheeks. She hugs him tightly and nods. He yanks her hand and she falls on top of him. She blushes a deeper red. "S-Sasuke-Kun...?"

He embraces her and turns them around so they are both face to face and on their sides. He hesitantly places a kiss on her forehead. Embracing him back she snuggles into the crook of his neck and falls into a deep slumber, Sasuke soon follows.


Sasuke wakes up, feeling much better than yesterday. He feels a small pressure on his chest and sees pink locks in his view. Smiling to his self he gently moves her to the side. He takes a pillow and slides it underneath her head. He then goes to his room to change.

When he saw his wardrobe he sighed. Sasuke grabs the outfit and changes into it.

He sported a black "V" neck fishnet shirt. On his arms were black wrappings, that matched his black Shinobi sweats. Around his left leg were white wrappings with three Kuni's attached to it. His feet have black ninja sandals on them. On the back of his shirt was the Uchiha clan symbol.

Sasuke runs a hand through his ruffled hair. "Hn."

There's a knock on Sasuke's door, he stays alert and opens it. A woman stands before him holding two trays of food. He takes them both, but she gestures for him to only the one. He tells her he'll deliver the other one. With that he goes to Sakura's room.

Sakura who was already awake, exited her shower and wrapped a towel around her pale form. She hears a knock at her door, she hesitantly goes to it and opens the door. She sees Sasuke and smiles.

She gestures for him to enter, he does so and sets the tray onto the desk. He turns around really fast and bumps into Sakura. Both tumble to the floor, but he tries to shield most of her fall. Both of them bush like crazy.

He sees she is only wearing a towel, and the fact that his legs were in between her legs, was not helping the situation. "Uhhhh...I-" he immediately get off of her and helps her up.

"I thought we could uh...eat together..." He slowly states as if testing the words out. Sakura smiles and nods. "Sure!"

She goes to the desk and sits down. Soon the two begin to talk about Orochimaru and Kabuto. They make jokes; Sasuke has an amused grin as he watches Sakura imitate Orochimaru with her tongue. He actually laughs which causes Sakura to blush.

"His laughter...it's so...god like."

Soon the atmosphere turns serious. Sasuke quietly asks her why she wanted to come with him. She puts down her spoon and sighs. "Because...someone has to cry for you Sasuke-Kun, I know it sounds kind of childish, but its true. I love you and nothing will change that. And you seriously don't want to be alone all the time right? I know I sure as hell wouldn't want to be!"

He's shocked to hear her cuss. "She's been hanging around Tsunade to much."

"Hn...Sakura?"

"Na Ni?"

"Arigatou..." She nods slowly and finishes her applesauce, she stands up and takes Sasuke's tray. Sasuke raises an eyebrow.

"Na Ni?"

"I'll take them.." He says while taking the trays from her. Sakura en realizes why he did so and blushes.

"Oh yeah sorry I forgot...I'll go change."

"You might want to hurry up...it's 7:45."

"Right see you later." She goes to him and gives him an awkward side hug, since he was holding the trays. She kisses him on the cheek, causing him to blush slightly.

"Have a nice day Sasuke-Kun."

"Hn." With that he exits her room.

Sakura-Chan looked hot in a towel!

"Pervert."


Oh my Kami! Sasuke is so hot! I swear I was going to take over your body and jump him right then and there!

Sakura shakes her head and goes to the closet. After a couple of minutes of snooping she finds the perfect outfit.

It's a purple miniskirt with black fishnet stockings. She wears black high heeled sandals similar to Tsunade's. Looking to her fight she throws on the purple crop top that had piercing and safety pins. She holds out her arms and puts on the fishnet gloves that reach up to her elbow, but cut off at her wrists.

Her pink hair she leaves down, but puts her Konoha headband on. She switches the red cloth for black. Looking in the mirror she feels as if she's ready to go, but she sees her village's symbol. Her eyes sadden as she takes the Kuni from her thigh pouch.

"No turning back now..." With that she draws a deep line through the metal and walks off to find Kabuto's lab.

When she finds it she sees Kabuto experimenting with scrolls. "Ah Sakura-Chan, right on the dot. I cleared an area for you to work in. It's over there in the corner. You'll find multiple books and supplies that you will use throughout your stay here. Read over e books and each time I will give you a test. Fail to do so and you'll be punished, simple as that."

"Hai." She replied determined.

"Nine enthusiasm. First I want to see how well you can heal someone without fainting." He said with a smirk.

She glares at him. He just smiles and guides her to the back room where a man lay battered and on the verge of death.

"Oh my..." She runs to him and begins the healing process. Kabuto sees her amazing speed of healing and takes notes. Soon her stops her and smirks.

"Very good I am impressed. Now you see all those books-" he points to her desk. "Read them over and over again until you memorize everything from front to back. Lord Orochimaru and I must go somewhere today, so by the time I return you should be done. There will be a test tomorrow!" With that he disappears.

"Ugh! There are so many books!" She stops complaining and sits down at the desk and begins to read.


"You progresssss quickly. Excellent I made a good decision with you Sssssasuke-Kun." Kabuto appears and bows before his Lord.

"Lord Orochimaru it is time we left."

"Kabuto, don't be so dull, I haven't even had my fun. We sssshall leave soon enough."

After about an hour, Orochimaru finishes his training session with Sasuke. The the two disappear in a flame flicker jutsu.

Sasuke limps his way to Sakura. He sensed her chakra somewhere in the left wing of the hideout. He enters a strange lab and sees Sakura with her nose suck in a book. After sensing another chakra presence in the room, Sakura looks up and sees a battered Sasuke. Her eyes widened and her medic instincts triggered.

She put her finger tip on his forehead and all his wounds healed instantly. The look on his face was priceless which causing the cherry blossom to giggle.

"Turns out those books are forbidden in every village and I had the honor of reading twits teachings."

Sasuke grins at her enthusiasm. She then walks back to her desk and picks up the book.

"Why don't you take a break...?" He quietly questioned after seeing her exhausted posture.

"I can't...I have to finish these books by the time Kabuto and Orochimaru get back...I'm only on book six out of seven."

"I think you can take a little break." She looks up at him and shakes her head. He smirks inwardly as he realizes she's trying not to be a distraction to him. He simply goes over to her and throws her over his shoulder. She drops the book in the process.

"Sasuke-Kun!" She cried in surprise. "Put me down! This isn't funny! I really need to get back to studying!"

He continues to walk down the corridor, despite her protests. Walking outside he passes through a small clearing until he reaches some hotsprings. Gently he sets Sakura down. He then backs her up into a stone wall and puts his hands on either side of her face and stare into her eyes.

Not used to so much attention she gets flustered and pushes him away. Sakura manages to swerve around Sasuke's body and back away from him. But he smirks and steps forward. Soon Sakura's foot slips on water and she falls backwards, causing Sasuke to go after her, alas it is too late and both tumble into the water.

She splashes water at him and he does the same. Swimming away, Sakura tries to make It to the edge, but Sasuke uses his chakra to give him a boost. He wraps his arms around her waist and she begins to giggle.

As he places her right in front if his body, he leans in closer. She blushes and slightly pulls away. "Ummm we should get back to our work...they might be back soon."

She untangles her self from his arms and climbs out of the springs and rings her hair out. Sasuke follows her as she heads back and pins her to a tree. Both are still soaking wet.

"Sakura."

"Sasuke-Kun?"
