For my 30th Fanfic I decided to do a songfic based on Nickelback's song Far Away, its one I've wanted to do for a while, but i'm sorry I just couldnt bring myself to do what you're probably expecting!!

This time, This place They were stood at the bench Sakura's eyes were wide and glassy from unshed tears, she shook slightly
Misused, Mistakes Sasuke took a step forward, flinching when she stepped backwards
Too long, Too late Sakura shook here head, clearing her thoughts, "I should kill you" she whispered
Who was I to make you wait He closed his eyes in pain
Just one chance "Don't…" he whispered
Just one breath A tear escaped her eyes
Just in case there's just one left "Don't cry Sakura…."
'Cause you know, "I can't bare it"
you know, you know Inwardly his thoughts were in turmoil

That "I love you" his words were whispered
"I loved you all along
And I miss you
I'veBeen far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
I'll Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore" black eyes met green

Sakura's eyes widened at the admission from the dark haired manand her groceries fell from her grasp hitting the pavement with a dull thud

"Sasuke…..I can't…."
On my knees, I'll ask He fell to his knees, almost begging
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand "I'll come back….I'll take my punishments…"
I'd give it all
I'd give for us "If you'll be there for me at the end"
Give anything but I won't give up "Please…"
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

So far away She looked away, distancing herself from him
"you've Been far away for far too long" She whispered
"So far away"
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know

"I wanted" She began, stopping before carrying on
"I wanted you to stay" tears hit the pavement, more drops joining them as the heavens opened
'Cause "I needed" she swallowed nervously
"I need to hear you say…."
"That I love you?" Sasuke asked standing suddenly and embracing the shivering woman in his arms. She didn't fight, wrapping her arms around him
"I have loved you all along" he whispered
"And I forgive you
For being away for far too long" Sakura saidclosing her eyes for a moment before pulling a kunai from her sleeve. Sasuke didn't even see it coming as it slipped between his ribs and punctured his heart.

So keep breathing He coughed up blood looking surprised grunting in pain…he slowly smiled at Sakura, who stood there tears still running down her cheeks
"'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore"he whispered falling
"Believe it"
She caught him and lowered him gently to the floor "Hold on to me and, never let me go" he hissed in pain
Keep breathing it was getting harder, and her face was blurring
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore "never"
Believe it"Sakura"
Hold on to me and, never let me go"I'll…"
Keep breathing "Never..."
Hold on to me and, never let me go"never..."
Keep breathing"leave"
Hold on to me and, never let me go "Again"

Gradually his grip on her sleeve loosened and Sakura gently closed his eyes. "I'm sorry Sasuke…" A team of Anbu ran up carrying a body bag and warm arms wrapped around her

"Are you alright" came a balanced voice, betraying no concern
"Hai….I can see why they wanted me back for this" Sakura leant back briefly into his arms
"Let's go home" he said smiling at her.
Sakura nodded, then both were enveloped in sand and stolen from sight.
