Pride.

She lost her favorite thing in the world.

Her pride.

She knew that as her perfect pink hair flew through the air.

As a last desperate attempt to save him, her love, she cut her hair…

she lost her pride that day.

Confidence.

As she lay on the ground, blood dripping from her mouth, and unable to fight, she lost it.

Her confidence.

She knew that as her blonde haired opponent collapsed winning and losing.

His eyes, her loves eyes, looked at her in disgust…

she lost her confidence that day.

Heart.

He refused her, called her annoying and she lost it.

Her heart.

Her cries were futile to his avenging ears.

As he, her love, hit her pressure point knocking her out…

she lost her heart that day.

Soul.

He was back, she brought him back, and he rejected her and she lost it.

Her soul.

He admitted he hated her that his heart would never be her's.

He, her love, proposed to her blonde haired enemy (who refused him)…

she lost her soul that day.

Now she lay there in pain in his arms, her love's arms, and did not understand.

Her love had gone for revenge, his brother's blood for his clan's deaths.

Silently she followed only to be found by his, her love's, brother.

He did succeed in killing his brother but not before a sword was put through her stomach.

Then she was here, in the hospital.

Sitting next to her, his arms around her, was him, her love.

She felt his strong arms then suddenly…she felt something else…

Something hot and wet.

She opened her eyes to see his tears, her love's tears, dripping slowly onto her face.

Then she understood.

By crying he was losing it all.

His pride.

His confidence.

His heart.

His soul.

She understood he was clinging desperately to the last thing he didn't want to lose…

Her.

"Sasuke…you're getting me face wet," she said quietly.

"Sakura!" he gasped.

She squeezed his hand reassuringly and said, "Don't worry I'm not leaving you."

Love.

With petals paving her road in her pure white dress she found it.

Her love.

Vows were made and embraced sealed it.

But it was not just her love it was his, her love and husband's, love.

The love they both needed all along.

Okay if you can't tell the first paragraph is in the Forest of Death when Sakura decides to cut her hair and to fight. The second is the battle between Sakura and Ino. The third is Sasuke leaving the village. After that it's just made up. But I hoped you liked it!
