During the ninja Academy time, after school Sakura is practicing her jutsus when she is attacked by an assassin from another village.

"Come here girl "said the assassin he sounded like a man.

"AHHHH!"I screamed, "What do you want from me"

"Well you are a Haruno" he said "and the Haruno's have some debts that need to be replayed and were tired of waiting"

He started walking towards me, as he got closer I could feel the chance of my survival getting smaller and smaller. Then when he was so close that he could touch me I realized I couldn't die now; then Inopig would get Sasuke all for herself and that was not going to happen.

He reached out his hands to grab me when I swung the Kunai I had in my hand at him and it cut off the tips of his fingers.

"AAAAAHHH!, you little wench your dead now" he screamed.

Then faster than I could possibly comprehend he took out another Kunai and swung at me. I could feel the cold metal cut through my warm stomach. At first nothing then a wave of pain hit me and I hit the dirt.

He was about to stab me right through the heart I could barely see the Kunai poised over my chest. He swung his arm up, and just as he was about to bring it down, a flash of silver soared over me and hit the assassin square in the chest.

I looked around as best as I could from my current position but I couldn't see who through the kunai that had killed that evil man.

Suddenly right next to me was the love of my life Uchiha Sasuke and he wore a look of concern which is something you don't usually see on his face.

"I'm sorry Sakura that I arrived here so late "he apologized

"It's alright Sasuke-kun" I spoke quietly because it hurt too much to speak any louder.

"It's my fault I wasn't strong enough" he said. I started to feel really tired and I let my eyes drop.

"Sakura don't go to sleep, don't die" He spoke softly

My eyes were almost closed and think I saw Sasuke move his face closer and closer to mine and as my eyes shut fully i could faintly feel the soft lips of Sasuke Uchiha on my own.
