-Chapter 1-
It was a mission like any other. Or so they thought. They were just protecting a woman to her village, but that was just the beginning.
"Sasuke-kun, something just doesn't feel right." Sakura said grabbing a hold of Sasuke's arm. Sakura and Sasuke were good friends now. They all were friends.
"What?" Sasuke said bluntly. Though he wouldn't admit it, he now had feelings for Sakura. She always had been there for him no matter what.
"I have a bad feeling about going through here." Sakura stated.
"I'm right here." Sasuke said placing his arm around Sakura.
"Thanks." Sakura said laying her head on his shoulder.
"You guys going out?" Cho said. Cho was the women they were protecting. Actually Cho was about 17 years old. With dark brown hair and Safire blue eyes. She looked like a model; you know one of those girls every guy wants.
"Who, us?" Sakura asked surprised.
"We're just friends." Sasuke said bluntly.
Sakura started to blush. Did Sasuke-kun just say we are friends?" He actually acknowledged the fact that he knows me that well.
"You two would make a cute couple." Cho said.
"Thanks." Sakura said blushing even more.
Sasuke looked at her when she responded. She still has that crush on me doesn't she? She looks cute when she blushes. Sasuke thought. "I think we should stop for the day." Sasuke said.
"Why can't we keep moving?" Naruto protested.
"Why push ourselves?" Sakura asked Naruto putting a hand on her hip.
"Fine, we'll stop." Naruto said acting like it was his idea.
That's when the trouble started.
The group split into 2 groups. Cho and Sakura sat up camp while Naruto and Sasuke went to get Food.
The girls had gotten the tents sat up and were now setting up the fire.
"You're so pretty, Cho. I bet all the guys fall for you." Sakura said.
"Ya, well you're pretty too." Cho said.
"No I'm not but thank you." Sakura said.
"Sure you are. That guy, Sasuke right, I can tell he likes you." Cho said. "You like him don't you?"
"Is it that obvious?" Sakura asked blushing.
"To me but maybe not to him," Cho said. "You should go for him."
"You think so?" Sakura asked.
"Ya go on a walk with him after dinner." Cho suggested
"Ok, I think I will."
At that time the guys came back with 4 fish. Sasuke sat next to Sakura who sat next to Cho. Naruto sat on the other side of Cho.
"Do you want to go on a walk after dinner?" Sasuke asked. "I think you would like the lake were we found the fish."
"Sure." Sakura said. "Sasuke-kun that is the longest I've heard you speak with out it having to do with a battle or you being told to talk."
"Hn." Sasuke said.
I knew it was too good to be true. Sakura thought.
All was quite while Sakura and Cho roasted the fish. They remained quiet while they ate at least for a while. Cho was the one to break the silence. "Sasuke, do you like Sakura?" Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke just looked at Cho in shock. "Well?" Cho asked after she didn't get a response.
"Let's just say Sasuke doesn't like girls." Naruto said.
"Sasuke, you're gay?" Cho said shocked.
"No!" Sasuke said in response to Cho.
"Then why don't you like girls?" Cho asked.
"I'm an avenger. I don't have time for girls." Sasuke said.
"Why are you still an avenger, Sasuke-kun? You have already killed your brother." Sakura asked curiously.
"I still have not completely fulfilled my goals." Sasuke said.
"What haven't you completed?" Sakura asked.
"I haven't revived my clan yet." Sasuke said coldly.
"Oh." Sakura said recoiling form his coldness.
"So back to my question, do you like Sakura?" Cho asked sweetly.
"We're just friends!" Sasuke said raising his voice, he got up and walked away.
"I didn't mean anything by it." Cho said honestly.
"I'll get him." Sakura said getting up and walking in the direction in which Sasuke had gone. Sakura just kept walking straight. She had no idea where Sasuke may have gone she just walked. She was kind of mad at Cho for asking Sasuke if he liked her but there was nothing that could be done now, it was already said. She just kept walking until she came upon an opening in the woods; it was the lake that Sasuke wanted to show her. She walked up to the shore. "It's beautiful." Sakura stated to the air.
"I know." A male voice said from behind her.
She turned around to see who it was. Her eyes met the onyx eyes of Sasuke.
"Sasuke-kun?" Sakura whispered.
"Sakura I have to tell you something." Sasuke said thinking on how he was going to word this.
"What?" Sakura asked worried.
"You remember how I said I want to resurrect my clan?"
"Yes." Sakura said.
"I want you to be the one to help me complete my goal." Sasuke said.
"Sakura was speechless. Sasuke had always been a friend to her. She had a crush on him, but Sasuke never showed any emotion towards her. Why the change all of the sudden?
An ice cold wind blew, unusual for a warm summer's night. Sasuke suddenly pushed Sakura Behind him and reach for a kunai from his holster. Sakura didn't know what was going on. She didn't dare look for a reason for Sasuke to act so protective. Something told her she wouldn't like the reason behind it. All of the sudden an agonizing scream of a male she loved could be heard thorough out the forest and Sakura knew who was attacking them.
"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura yelled grabbing Sasuke to help support him while he struggled to control the pain of the curse.
"S…Sakura, run!" was all that Sasuke could say while grasping his left shoulder in pain.
"Not without you." Sakura said in a worried voice completely forgetting what Sasuke had said earlier.
"Sakura, will you help Sasuke revive his clan?" Orochimaru's serpent voice rang in the air.
"Why do you care?" Sakura yelled back at Orochimaru.
A laugh was all that Sakura got in response.
"Sasuke, I wanted to speak to you." Orochimaru said.
"I don't need you." Sasuke said coldly.
"But I need you." Orochimaru said.
At that time Sasuke started to realize what Orochimaru was planning. It as to late, Sakura was being pulled away from behind him. Sasuke spun around to grab Sakura but she was being held by 3 sound ninjas. Sasuke took 2 kunias securely in his hands and charged at the ninja.

"I wonder what's taking Sakura and Sasuke so long." Cho asked Naruto
"Sasuke can be stubborn so Sakura is probably trying to convince him to come back." Naruto said. "Sakura's the only girl I know that Sasuke actually listens to."
"Sakura and Sasuke would make a cute couple, don't you think?" Cho said out of no where.
"What! Sakura and Sasuke! There opposites it would never work." Naruto yelled. "But I kind of see where you're coming from." Naruto said in his normal voice.
"Let's make a plan to get them together." Cho suggested.
"Alright." Naruto said. (Naruto was now with Hinata.)

Sasuke stabbed one kunai in one of the ninja's, the one on Sasuke's right, arms with enough force to knock the ninja to the ground. He did the same to the ninja on his left only pounding the ninja to the ground with his fist. The only ninja that was standing was the one holding Sakura.
"That's far enough." The ninja said, pulling a kunai out and holding it to Sakura's throat.
"Sakura." Sasuke half whispered, in a worried voice.
"Sasuke-kun, help." Sakura pleaded.
If I charge, he will slit her throat and ninjitsu is out. Crap! Sasuke thought furiously, not realizing it he activated his sheringun.
The 2 ninja's that Sasuke had knocked to the ground were standing up now and ready to charge Sasuke.
"I don't think so." Sasuke did hand seals instantly "Mi, hitsuji, Tora, I, uma, Tora" and launched his relentless attack on the 2 ninja's. "Katon Goukakyuu no Justu." Flames shot out of Sasuke's mouth, burning the 2 to death. Sasuke turned his head to the ninja that was holding Sakura. "It's your turn now." Sasuke said with venom in every word. Sasuke began to gather chakra in his hand. "Sakura," Sasuke said. "Be ready."
The chakra in Sasuke's hand began to crackle when Sakura realized what Sasuke was going to do. "I can't dodge that." Sakura yelled panicking. Sasuke's going to kill me. I have to find a way out of this. I've got it, sorry Sasuke-kun this may hurt you too. Sakura thought.
Sasuke began to charge at the ninja. Orochimaru's sound ninja used Sakura as a shield. Saskue inched closer and closer by the second. Now! Sakura thought consentrating chakra in her foot then kicking her foot up into the sound ninja's groin. The Sound ninja froze dropped his kunai that he had been holding up to Sakura's throat and doubled over in pain. Sakura moved out of the way as fast as she could because Sasuke was still charging at the sound ninja. Sakura looked at Sasuke to see his reaction to what she just did. Sasuke was still charging but he had a look of pain on his face. Apparently he knew how the sound ninja felt.
Sasuke connected the chidori with the sound ninja's stomach. It went straight through him blood gushed out of the wound when Sasuke pulled his hand out.
"Come on let's go." Sasuke said grabbing Sakura's arm with his not bloody hand, and pulled her from the clearing into the trees. They jumped from tree to tree until they came along a small stream.
"Stay here." Sasuke said sternly to Sakura.
"Ok." Sakura said watching Sasuke.
Sasuke went down to the stream and washed off his arm. Sasuke rejoined Sakura up in the tree.
"We're far enough for right now." Sasuke said. "That had to hurt." Sasuke said thinking back to what Sakura had down to the sound ninja.
"sorry but you gave me no choice. You have to do what you have to do." Sakura said.
"Sakura I want you to have this." Sasuke said pulling out a silver necklace with 2 silver rings on it. The smaller ring had the Uchiha symbol around it. The larger ring had nothing on it at all.
"But Sasuke-kun…"Sakura started looking at Sasuke, the moon shining on his face.
"I want you to have them, Sakura." Sasuke said carefully putting the necklace around Sakura's neck. "Keep them safe."
"I will." Sakura said. "I've been thinking about what you said earlier and I would be happy to stay with you forever because I love you."
"I…lo…" Sasuke tried to say.
"You don't have to say it Sasuke-kun. There are other ways to show someone you love them." Sakura said.
Sasuke felt stupid for not being able to tell Sakura that he loved her. So he thought of a way to show her. He leaned close to Sakura and closed his eyes. He gently placed his hand on the back of Sakura's head and pulled her closer. Sakura closed her eyes as she felt his warm breath on her face. At that time Sasuke captured her lips as his. They seemed to stay like that for an eternity, when Sasuke pulled away from her. Sasuke looked at Sakura. Sakura's eyes fluttered open to look at Sasuke.
"I love you too." Sakura said quietly.
At that time Sasuke felt the chakra of many ninjas surround them and then Sasuke felt the chakra of one particular ninja, Orochimaru.
"Crap." Sasuke said softly.
"What!" sakura asked just as quiet.
"We're surrounded." Sasuke said activating his sharingan again. We're going to get out of this; I'm not going to die now that I'm with Sakura. Sasuke thought.
We're going to get out of this I'm not going to die now that I'm with Sasuke. Sakura thought.
"There's more than a hundred Sound ninjas." Sasuke said looking around. "And all of them are real."
"What do we do?" Sakura asked.
"I don't know." Sasuke stated. "But we're not going to die."
"Of course you're not going to die Sasuke, but Sakura might depending on your decision." Orochimaru said coolly.
"What decision?" Sasuke asked coolly standing up.
"The one about Sakura's life or your freedom." Orochimaru's slithery voice echoed through the forest.
"What?" Sakura said standing up and grabbing Sasuke's arm.
"Sasuke, you choice is to have Sakura life so you can love freely or for you to give up your freedom for Sakura to live." Orochimaru said.
"Who said I have to do either. There is always the option to run." Sasuke said coldly.
"There's over a hundred of us, do you really think you would get away?" Orochimaru said. "Make your decision."
"Sakura, I love you." Sasuke said calmly. He faced Sakura and claimed her lips again. He backed away. "Take care of yourself. I'll come back to you I promise. Please wait for me.
"Sasuke-kun, please don't leave me. I need you here with me." Sakura said hugging him from behind. "I'm yours forever. Please don't leave me."
"I'm sorry Sakura but I can't let you get killed and we are to out numbered to run so I must." Sasuke said releasing himself from Sakura's huge. He the turned ad faced her. "I will come back, you can stake your life on that." He said. He hugged her then turned and walked to Orochimaru.
"Let's go." Orochimaru said. At that Sakura was left alone in the forest.

An hour later, Sakura arrived back at camp to find Cho and Naruto eagerly awaiting Sakura and Sasuke's return, but when the only saw Sakura crying they knew something was wrong.
"Sakura, where's Sasuke?" Naruto asked concerned.
"Gone." Sakura began crying and went to her tent to avoid any more questions.
When she was in the tent she held the rings that Sasuke had given her in her hands wishing with all her might that Sasuke was back and that she was in Sasuke's arms again.
