Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto and I never will.

AN: Reading the latest chapter got me onto a cliffhanger... yes... It ends with Sakura shouting "Sasuke-kun!" than some noise than... whoop... it stops. So I decided to write my own ... XD

Warning/s: SasuSaku, AU/OOC. Also, if you are not up to date with the anime/manga/games/movies, I suggest not reading this as well as if you hate SasuSaku... this might possibly be considered Anti-NaruSaku too, so that's another and the last warning.


Wings Of Destiny


She couldn't focus anymore. Everything went still in her head despite the war still raging around it. Everything seemed to be silent and slowing down as she heard a strange noise.

"SASUKE-KUN!" she shouted, somehow willing her legs to run to his fallen form.

"Sasuke-kun, Sasuke-kun..." she cried, landing on her knees beside his coughing body as her hand started to glow at once, she didn't mind her own tiredness one bit. She wouldn't let her Sasuke-kun die here now that he had joined forces with them. Not when she just proved to him that she isn't useless... as she healed him, she wryly remembered how different his and Naruto's reactions were. Naruto's had been full of surprise, but Sasuke-kun had just uttered a low 'heh' almost like he had always believed that she was strong. And maybe he did, maybe he still does...

"Sakura.. don't.. tire yourself out... on me..." the Uchiha rasped out of his dry throat, staring at her with almost pleading onyx eyes.

"Shut up, Sasuke!" she growled, still working and she used that as an excuse to ignore his surprise at her words. "I'm not done yet!" her hands glowed brighter and most of his major wounds vanished at once.

"Sakura... arigato." Sasuke smiled a real smile which made Sakura's heart melt. So she managed to smile back, despite the war, the screams, the shouts and the death... destiny still held them together. And it always will. Because no one can forget their first and true love. Not even Sakura, who was thinking she might have a chance with Sasuke now.

"Dōitashimashite, Sasuke-kun."

Destiny was a funny thing after all.


AN: Not my best... oh well... hope you still enjoy it.
