One- Shot (a really short one)

SasuxSaku

A.N. So, this marks my very first fanfic ever! Actually I've been writing a major Fanfic in my journals, but I don't happen to have it with me at the moment. Any who, this will have to do until I find the time to sit down and type it all up! (I want to find the time to do it, when I can post at least three chapters at once, I've written that much).

Before we get started: Some things you should know.

I am a moderately slow typer

This is my first Fanfic, so be gentle (however I do accept all types of reviews, including flames. I would like to know if I suck, and I like it when people get to the point already!)

There was no "rough-draft", I just sat down and typed this, so it may indeed suck (but don't take it from me, read it anyway!).

There will be no SasuxSaku bashing! (Insulting my favorite characters on Naruto is bad for your health), however, everyone is entitled to his or her opinion so be considerate if you absolutely hate this pairing.

And with that, let us begin…

The halls of Orochimaru's base were dimly lit and there was a foul stench coming from the east wing hall that seemed to engulf the place with its darkness. Sasuke didn't care; it was something he had come accustomed to.

After all he had been here for four years now. "Four years too many", Sasuke thought. The Snakes usefulness was running out and it was only a matter of time before Sasuke would have to kill him.

As he arrived to his room he noticed something was out of place. Taking his guard he pulled out his Katana, now sensing that the chakra's presence was becoming more noticeable. "An enemy", he thought. Who ever it was they had chosen the wrong room to trespass.

Not caring if they knew he was there or not, Sasuke flew open the door, Katana drawn, ready to slice whoever he should meet in his quarters. But something stopped him. If it hadn't been for her bright bubblegum pink hair that had now grown to her chest over the years and her shining green eyes that always seem to twinkle with laughter whenever she looked at him, she would have been dead in an instant.

But instead Sasuke found himself frozen in mid-strike, hovering not an inch from the coral haired kunoichi (is that spelled right?), his bladepressing up against her smooth creamy neck that Sasuke couldn't help but notice. "Sa… Sakura?" he whispered.

Sakura's surprised and frightened face slowly relaxed into a small smile. "It's been a while, hasn't it…? Sasuke", she whispered. She then began to quietly shed small tears, which had been unexpected from both of them.

Sasuke quickly recovered from his confusion and narrowed his onyx eyes at her. "What do you think you're doing here?" he said. Sakura winced from the harshness of his voice, which seemed to be even colder than she had remembered.

She tried to swallow the emotions that were beginning to bubble over after the overwhelming feelings of shock, happiness, and sadness that she had kept bottled away for years, ever since he had left. "Stop crying." he said icily as he continued to glare at her.

But she didn't, Sakura's eyes continued to leak tears as she tried to speak. "I'm sorry… Sasuke".

To be continued…?

Ok, so I guess it wasn't exactly a one-shot. It was more of a sample from a story that's been stuck in my head. I know it was really short, but I wanted to have something on my profile. I'm typing this at school so you can imagine my struggle. I am, at the moment, without a computer so until then, this is my only option. Continuing this story is all up to you! If I should continue send me positive reviews! If I should drop this story now before it's too late, send me flames. I value everyone's opinion! Just so everyone knows, if I do decide to continue this fanfic, it will be rated between teen and mature. I haven't decided yet. So… review, review, and review! Oh and also…

Merry Christmas!
