[Sakura's POV]

We just got to the village after saving that red-haired Karin girl from Sasuke's team from dying. We were sitting inside the infirmary now, outside Karin's room.

Why was she about to die you ask?

Well... As unbelievable as it sounds... Sasuke run a Chidori Sharp Spear through her chest in order to kill Danzo who had taken her hostage.

I saw everything. I was there. Sasuke... Everything was... I just couldn't believe what happened back in the Land of Iron.

After all this time... I had already lost hope in Sasuke way before our encounter but... I never lost the feelings I had for him. I knew they were wrong but I couldn't do anything. I keep telling myself to stop it but I can't... So wrong yet so right... All the memories fed my restraints to kill him... I regret it, of course. Leaving Naruto behind.

But when I saw Sasuke at the Land of Iron it's like it wasn't him... He was a different person. He was a monster. Karin's right... he's not the same Sasuke we knew. He's changed... for good?... No. I won't believe that. I refuse to.

I held my hand to my heart.

My words to Sasuke were foolish like a little girl's. Although untruthful and plotting... There was weakness in my voice.

[Flashback]

"Sasuke-kun! I'll follow you! I'll leave Konoha!" I screamed.

"You wouldn't gain anything from following me... What are you plotting?" He questioned me.

"I... I'm not plotting anything! It's just... I've regretted not going with you when you left Konoha!" I said. Hoping I sounded believable.

He looked at me with an empty expression. But I saw doubt in his eyes.

'Did he see through it?' I worried.

No.I can't give up yet. I have to convince him.

"I'll do whatever you want me to do!" I blurted out.

"I don't 'wanna have anymore regrets..." I said, truthfully.

He narrowed hi eyes at what I said.

"Do you know... what I want?" he asked me darkly.

I don't know where this is going but I don't care.

"I-It doesn't matter ! I'll do whatever you say." I said.

He paused.

A minute of wordless conversation passed.

He smirked.

"I... want to DESTROY KONOHA! That's what I want." He declared.

My eyes widened in shock.

'Destroy... Konoha? W-why?...'

I frowned a little but returned to my normal expression.

"Would you really betray Konoha for me?" He asked me with disbelief.

"Yes... If... If you say so..." I said, wanting to take it back but I can't. This was part of my plan. I had to do this.

All the doubt, distrust and disbelief started to disappear from his eyes.

"Then... You'll have to prove it..." He said. Darkly... AGAIN.

I was nervous. What was it? I did my best to hide my emotions.

He smirked.

Oh no...

He walked over to the red-haired girl lying down helplessly on the ground then pointed at her.

"If you kill her... I'll let you come with me." He said.

My eyes widened in shock again.

he looked back at me with a daring eye.

'Sasuke... What happened to you? Is this even you?'

My eyes weakened but there was still tension.

"Who... is she?" I asked him.

I looked at the girl again. She was lying down there with one eye closed and blood going out of her mouth.

"One of the members of my team, Taka. But as you can see, she is of no use to me now." He explained.

"Sakura... You were a healer weren't you? You'll make a good replacement for her..." He said.

'This isn't you Sasuke-kun... Is is possible you've... changed? For the better?...'

No. I refuse to believe that. NO.

A mini-debate went on in my head.

"What's wrong Sakura? Can't you do it?" He said, looking at me with those eyes of his that dared me to do it.

'But... She has nothing to do with this... I... can't... But I have to... I... I'm confused...' I said to myself, nearing tears.

I took out my Poisoned Kunai.

'If I kill Sasuke-kun now... It'll all be over...' I thought to myself, returning to the plan.

"Stop... Sasuke..." The girl said then did her best to lift her hand and signal me to look behind.

I did and to my shock, Sasuke was charging at me.

My eyes widened in shock and fear. I couldn't move... It was too late... He was too close...

'Is this really it?...' I thought to myself.

I closed my eyes.

Just when I felt the attack nearing me it stopped.

I opened my eyes and saw Kakashi-sensei in front of me. He stopped Sasuke's attack.

'He... really did want to kill me...' I told myself. I was still recovering from that sentence.

"You've fallen Sasuke." Kakashi-sensei said while still holding Sasuke's hand away.

When he said that, Sasuke's eyes filled up with shock.

The jumped away from each other.

Kakashi-sensei tried to talk Sasuke out of it but when he did Sasuke laughed evilly.

"Bring me back Itachi... Bring me back my mother an father... BRING ME BACK MY CLAN! THEN I'LL STOP!" He screamed.

We gasped in shock.

This really isn't Sasuke anymore... It made me sad... to think that Sasuke... The old Sasuke... Could be gone forever.

Kakashi-sensei told me to heal the girl then escape with her.

I hesitated, worried about Kakashi-sensei's fate.

But he insisted and I couldn't do anything about it anyway so I did as he said.

I stood aside and started healing the girl. To my shock, her body was filled with bite marks. So... this was it. The healers who could convert their chakra into energy and life then by the host biting them , they could heal... Even I was amazed.

"You..." She tried to talk.

"No. Don't talk. Not yet." I told her.

"Your the enemy. I don't 'wanna sympathize with you..." She said weakly.

It was at that moment that it clicked.

As different as we may be, we were the same. We loved Sasuke in the past and now have lost faith in him. We used to say that we'd do anything for him just so we could stay by his side. We were so... alike.

"Then... Don't..." I said then I felt a tear slide down my cheek.

"Don't cry like that infront of me!..." She said, still weak but with strong objection.

She was right. I noticed tears flowing down my face angrily. I was crying like never before. All my feelings were overflowing. All the memories...

I concentrated on healing her; trying to distract myself from all the things that were going on in my head. I didn't 'wanna feel pain anymore.

"Sasuke..." She started talking again.

"I told you not to talk yet." I told her sternly.

"He's... not the Sasuke you knew anymore..." She said, completely ignoring me.

"He's changed... He's... Dangerous."

My eyes widened at what she said.

I tried to ignore her words but I just couldn't.

They were so painful yet so true.

"There. Your good. Don't even think of running away." I told her as we sat up.

"Hmph. Don't count on it." She said.

"Huh?" I said in confusion.

"Hmph. Don't worry. I'll tell you later." She said.

Okaaaayyy...

We turned to watch the battle.

We were both in shock at the same time as we the humongous thing behind Sasuke.

"It can't be..." She said in disbelief.

"What? What is it?" I asked her.

"It's... Susanoo..." She said.

I gasped.

I've heard of Susanoo. It was a dangerous 'weapon' that can only be created with the help of the Magekyou Sharingan.

Sasuke...

We saw Sasuke rubbing his eyes.

"What's going on?" I asked the girl, who's name was Karin.

She smirked.

"Hmph. Well look at that... Looks like you guys are on the upper hand. His Magekyou Sharingan is weakening his eyesight and by the looks of it, he's nearing blindness... That's why his Susanno has weakened." She said.

I gasped.

I started to think.

I can't just sit around here doing nothing like I always have. I have to help. I don't care if I die. Sasuke isn't touching Konoha!

"Hey. I'm 'gonna leave you okay? Can you manage?" I asked Karin.

"Psshh. Don't insult me. I'll be fine. Go." She said.

I smiled at her... but I really didn't want to.

I took out my poisoned Kunai again then charged at Sasuke who's Susanoo had disappeared and was still rubbing his eyes.

"Sakura! What are you doing? Stay out of this!" Kakashi-sensei screamed at me when he saw me charge.

I didn't answer him but I didn't ignore him either.

'I'm sorry Kakashi-sensei but i can't let you carry this burden all on your own!' I replied to him in my head.

But as I was so near, I stopped.

All the memories started flowing back again.

'Thank you...' Those words he said that night he left... echoed over and over in my head.

'NO! I have to be prepared!' I told myself.

But then another memory of Team 7 went back... Our time at the academy...

'NO! I... have to do it myself... I... can't let Naruto know about this... I... have to!' I told myself again.' I told myself again.

UGH! Another memory. No... Please... I...

'NO. I HAVE TO KILL SASUKE-KUN!' I stated.

'I CAN DO IT...'

'... I thought...'

I stopped right when the Kunai was just on inch away from Sasuke's back. I hesitated a little but it was enough for him to know. In an instant, he grabbed my neck and choked me.

"SAKURA!" Kakashi-sensei screamed then started to charge.

Sasuke pulled out a kunai then started for my neck.

"STOP! SASUKE!" Kakashi-sensei screamed again.

My eyes closed again. This was it... I guess. Nothing can...

"UMPH!" I said as Naruto jerked at me and took me from Sasuke.

"Naruto?" Kakashi-sensei and I said in sync.

Sasuke's eyes widened in shock too.

"Just in time." I smiled as he put me down.

I gasped as I saw their eyes meet.

This was bad... Very bad.

That second. We anticipated a battle.

Naruto immediately performed Kage Bunshin.

They talked a lot. [Just see Naruto Shippuden Manga Chapter 485 on OneManga . c o m]

They clashed. Rasengan and Chidori. Just like before.

The outcome... appeared to be just the beginning... After that... Everything was a blur.

[Seriously, just go to OneManga . c o m and read Naruto Chapter 485 and up but this story is changed, of course, I didn't follow the whole storyline. It IS a fanfic..]

[End Flashback]

By the time I was back into reality I felt Kiba's hands on my shoulder he was the only one in our team left.

"Oh. Kiba. Hey." I said.

"Why are you crying?" He asked me.

I was... crying?

I wiped my face of the tears that had fallen from my eyes.

"Oh... Sorry." I said, trying to sound happy but my voice cracked because of the deep sadness I felt.

"Hehe." He snickered. But his voice sounded different.

"Kiba your voice sounds..." I started but stopped when I heard... his voice.

"Kiba's not here..." I heard again.

I looked up slowly and saw his face, smiling down on me.

"S... Sasuke-kun?" I said in disbelief.

"Yes. It's me Sakura... You don't have to feel hurt or pain anymore. I'll protect you..." He said then started to hug me. I tried to reciprocate his hug but when my arms almost reached his body everything went white and he disappeared, leaving me alone. Again. Like before. I sat alone n the empty coldness, hugged my knees and slowly, tears flooded my eyes and fell down my face until I was crying so much that I saw myself underwater.

What the-?

I was drowning and it didn't matter how hard I tried, I couldn't rise up to the surface.

I just kept drowning and finally, I just let go and let myself fall but before I closed my eyes I saw him for the last time.

"Sakura..." I heard a familiar voice that I couldn't decipher.

"Sakura..." I heard it again but now, it was more blurred.

I heard it again and again until I couldn't hear it anymore... then everything just... vanished.

I felt my body shaking.

"Ah! WHAT?" I said as I sat up.

I rubbed my eyes.

My vision cleared and I saw the other members of our team, giggling.

It took me a few seconds to realized that I was only dreaming.

I frowned.

Everything... was a dream...

I sighed and hid my emotions.

"How long was I out?" I asked them.

"Only 6 hours. No coma or anything." Ino smiled.

"Oh." I said.

Everyone dispersed but Ino stayed.

"Looks like you had a pretty sweet dream..." She whispered then giggled.

"HUH?" I said but she left.

WHAT? Was I... sleep-talking? What was she talking about?

"Hey Sakura." Tenten called me.

"Yeah?" I asked her.

"Don't worry your little nose about Sasuke. He's over there." She said then pointed to a chair two chairs away from me where Sasuke was sleeping.

I looked at him and felt comfort in my heart.

I was still tired but I didn't 'wanna sleep anymore because now, this reality is finally better than my dreams and fantasies.

I smiled with warmth in my heart because I was sure... that everything was 'gonna be okay.
