I had this idea in my head for quite awhile. It didn't start out by being this particular idea, but I decided It fit… So without any further ado…

"Come with me. We can leave and be together." Despite his hot breath on her neck, she shivered. He sounded mean, dark, evil. Well, that was kind of to be expected, he could have changed, right? Who was she kidding? He laughed. That evil laugh that sent chills down her spine. She winced. He ran his hands down her arms. Her skin burned where he touched them. But, strangely, she didn't run. How had she gotten here? How did this happen?

------------------------------------Let's answer these questions… with a flashback------------------------------------

"Sasuke!" She screamed, her voice echoing throughout the halls. This place gave her the creeps. It was dark, cold, damp. It was Orochimaru's castle. Why had Tsunade sent her alone? She was terrified.

She heard a laugh. She spun around in the direction it seemed to come from. She tried to hide her fear. The tears streaming from her face made it painfully obvious. The laughter resumed. This time, she realized, it was surrounding her. Where was he?

"Damn it Sasuke! Come out here! Show yourself coward!"She yelled through her tears. She gasped as she felt a presence behind her. Move damn feet, move! She thought as she struggled with herself to do just that. He moved right behind her, so close that she could feel his shallow breathing on her neck.

---------------------------------------------------Flashback ends here--------------------------------------------------------

"Why are you doing this?" she asked. He laughed in response.

"Come on Sakura! Haven't you always loved me? Prove it." He was mocking her now.

"Move!" She screamed out loud this time. More of that mocking laughter.

"What's wrong Sakura?" His hand traveled up to her hair. He twirled it thoughtfully. "You surely can't be scared of me?" He questioned.

"Damn you Sasuke." She growled at him, her fisted balled tightly.

"You don't want to hit me do you? I thought you loved me." Yet again, more laughter. He nuzzled her neck. She felt sick. "You want me. Take this chance." He whispered in her ear. She scowled. She didn't want him. The only thing she wanted was to go home. Suddenly, she laughed. He looked puzzled.

"You, Sasuke, are so naïve." Sasuke was slightly taken aback by this. "Now, after you left," she turned to face him, "I had time to think and move on. I realized that you needed something." More questioning looks came from Sasuke. She continues. "I realized that you… needed… to… DIE!!!" She screamed this last word as she lunged at him. He moved out of her way with ease.

"Let's not fight. Old friends, meeting each other for the first time in years. You should be happy! Don't ruin this moment." He sneered as she slammed into the wall. A huge crack ran up the middle of it. The pain flashed across her face, but she quickly covered it up. She stood up, her right arm useless, and scowled. "Come on Sakura, let's go somewhere else. We can talk this over."

Sakura decided it would be best if she did follow him. She could heal herself quickly and formulate a plan. They walked into a bedroom, HIS bedroom. "Please sit Sakura." He said with fake sincerity as he motioned towards the bed. She sat and went to heal her shoulder. She had thought of a simple plan. Hopefully it would work. She summoned the green chakra to her hand. Before she could reach to her shoulder, he grabbed both wrists.

Perfect. She thought, but put on a mask of terror. He got within two inches of her face.

"There will be time for that later. Right now, I want it to HURT." He snarled at her. He shoved her down and forced himself on top of her. As his hand slid up her shirt, she smiled. "What is your problem?" He asked with malice. He felt a change in the room. He looked over at her hand, still glowing green. It seemed… different. With a grunt, she heaved it into his side. His eyes went wide with pain and shock. He fell to the floor, cradling his side.

"What the?" He gasped.

"I've been studying as a medic nin. Kabuto isn't the only one that can master such a… simple technique." The darkness in Sakura's voice nearly matched Sasuke's. She looked down at him. He looked scared… helpless. Something in Sakura stopped her. She couldn't kill him. Not like this. "You're pathetic." She chuckled. He glared at her, and then recoiled in pain. She let the chakra fade from her hand. She crouched beside him sadly and pushed the black hair from his face.

He seemed to be losing consciousness. "How did this happen, Sasuke? How did you become this?" Her voice was laced with sadness and sincerity. She put a hand on his forehead. He was warm, dripping with sweat. Her hand began glowing green again. Half-awake, he looked at her in fear. She gave him a calming look and touched his side. It hurt, but he could feel the torn muscles and tendons healing slowly. After a few minutes, she moved to healing her shoulder.

"Goodbye Sasuke." She muttered to him. She started to stand slowly. Suddenly, she felt fingers closing gently around her arm. She looked to Sasuke.

"Please don't go… yet." He pleaded. He had sadness in his eyes. She sat down by him. She gently stroked his hair, and he fell asleep. He was running a fever. She left quietly, to gather herbs. Once outdoors, she found the herbs necessary to make a simple elixir to calm his fever.

She snuck back inside and found a glass to mix the herbs. She worked slowly, with a sadness that dragged deep in her soul. She knew what she had to do. She mixed the herbs into a drink. After she finished with that, she scribbled a long note on a piece of paper, snuck into Sasuke's room, and put the note and the concoction next to him. She gave him one last sad look and walked away. She wished fervently that she didn't have to leave him. She thought about when she first saw him, just a few mere hours ago. It was such a sudden change from then to before he fell asleep. Something was wrong. But, she knew, she had to leave. It was dangerous. He was dangerous.

She sat at the entrance to the castle, silently chewing on her thoughts. The cool breeze that caressed her face made her shiver. It was a somewhat eerie night. She leaned against the cool stones that made up the outside of the castle. Her gaze lifted to the moon. His image appeared, and then faded out just as quickly. As she sat there, looking, thinking, she felt sleep tugging at her eyelids. She couldn't fight it. She fell into a deep slumber where she sat.

Ok, so the next chapter is from Sasuke's point of view from after they get into the bedroom, and goes until I decide to stop it. Things will be explained in that chapter. (Like why his emotions changed so quickly.) Quietly, the war will wage inside of him. Until then (tomorrow I hope) read and review!!!
