Title: Fear
Author: Anorexia
Fandom: Naruto
Pairing: Uchiha Sasuke x Haruno Sakura
Theme: #21 - Violence
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

Author's notes: After a long search/wait, I was finally able to get a claim for this pairing. I'm so thrilled. I simply adore the SasukexSakura pairing and I really wanted to write about them in another story where Sakura didn't have an Eating Disorder. Of course, reading this will obviously kill the pairing so read at your own risk.


With Tazuna by her side, Sakura ran as fast as she could. She could feel her heart pounding fast against her chest as she came closer and closer to his body. Naruto's expression of sorrow made her fears quickly race through her head as she ran to his body. There, fear came to life as she faced what frightened her most.

Sasuke's body laid on the cold bridge, motionless and pale. Several Senbons' sticking out from different area's of his body and blood splattered on several parts as well.

She gasped in horror as she saw him and stood with weak knees for what seemed like eternity before succumbing to the pain and dropping to her knees. Slowly, she reached her hand out and cupped his face. "He's cold..." She whispered, not wanting it to be true. "This...isn't an illusion..."

"Don't pay me any mind. It's best to let it out and cry." Tazuna said, trying to soften the moment.

Sakura's hand began to rub Sasuke's icy cheek. "I...always scored hundred present on the Ninja Academy exams. I memorized the over hundred Shinobi sayings. I always wrote the correct answers. On one day's text, this question appeared. 'Write down Shinobi saying number twenty-five.' I wrote down the answer as usual..." Tears began to build up in her eyes and as she gave off the twenty-five saying, she began to cry. "'A Shinobi must keep emotions on the inside. No matter what the situation. You must make the mission top priority, and must possess a hear that never shows tears.'" Her tears fell onto his face and mixed into the blood.

She then dropped her chest onto his stomach and held her head in her crossed arms. Tears streaming from her eyes and onto his shirt. "Sasuke..." She cried, letting out a loud wail of sorrow and continued to cry onto his chest. She cried aloud and repeated his name several times, as if she was the one who had all the Senbons' in her body.

"Sakura...you're heavy..."

Her head shot up and her eyes were wide, wet, and puffy from crying and shock. "Sasuke..." More tears piled up as she cried out his name again and again. "Sasuke...Sasuke..." She wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her chest upon his. Planting a small tiny kiss on his still cold lips. Her fear had not yet come true and she was thankful for that.


Author's notes - Well, obviously it wasn't the best story in the world and it was really lame, but it fitted with the things needed in the 30kisses world...I just hope they become longer as I continue writing, I hate short-fics.

Thank you for reading.
