She saw the blade coming for her.

Could feel it as it was swung towards her.

His killing intent was palpable and she knew he would show no hesitation for her.

Despite all that, she found that she could do nothing to stop him. She couldn't bring herself to dodge. To save herself.

Many would wonder, how could such a fine kunoichi such as herself allow this?

How could the medic-nin who had dodged so many dreadful attacks from the infamous Akasuna no Sasori not gracefully step out of the way of such a straight forward attack?

The answer to her seemed simple.

Because she still loved him dreadfully. He was no longer the Sasuke she had come to know, but he was still Sasuke.

And though she had survived a wound much like this one not too long ago, deep down in her twistedly devoted heart she could not begrudge him her life if he wished to take it.

She could not hate him.

Really, she couldn't blame Sasuke if his whole world was consumed by his brother.

Somehow, his blind selfishness only made her love him more.

A/N: This little series is meant to be background for an up-coming fic of mine, but I think it should stand on its own. Please let me know your thoughts! I'm such a noob when it comes to writing Naruto fanfiction, so constructive criticism is extremely welcome!
