a/n;; Alrighty! Here's chapter two! Sorry it's taken me a while to get it up and posted, but every time I'd sit down to type it up, I'd either get distracted, or I couldn't think of something to write. Anyway, thanks to all who reviewed for last chapter, and all who added it to their favorites and what not .

Well, here it is!

Disclaimer;; I do not own Naruto! If I did, Sasuke and Naruto would totally be together, there would be more Akatsuki-ness, andddd maybe even some Itachi or Kakashi with Sakura.

CHAPTER TWO

Why?

Naruto's POV

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I barely had enough time. Before I knew it, Sakura was standing right there, in our way. I realized that I'd either have to hit her, or hit something else near-by. I threw myself onto my knees, and slammed my chakra filled hand into the wet earth just at her feet. Her body was now turned away from me, and I only knew that because my middle finger had touched the back of her shoe, and before I fell, I watched her turn towards that bastard. Afraid that he wouldn't stop, I closed my cerulean eyes, and waited.

A mangled scream and the sound of sizzling filled the air. The noise seemed to ricochet off of the trees, and come back at me. Maybe I was just hearing the noise over and over in my head, I don't know. I just wanted the noise to stop. Scared of what I would see, I opened my eyes, and looked up. It was a horrible sight, and I wanted to run away, to never let my eyes fall upon the scene again. I gasped, but my intake of breath was cut short, because I had to turn my head and let my stomach empty it's contents. The smell was disgusting, it was the smell of sweltering flesh. Not just anybody's, but Sakura's burning flesh.

She stumbled backwards, one of her petite feet coming down onto my hand. I quickly pulled it back, and then scrambled backwards, so I was on my knees. Pulling myself to my feet, I saw an arm going completely through Sakura. Sasuke-teme's hand was sticking out of her back.

"W-why?" I stuttered, shaking my head. Why hadn't he moved? Did Sasuke want her to die? I wanted to know but I couldn't bring myself to ask anything else but "Why, why, WHY?" The only word that came out of my mouth was why. I took a step forward, and that was when I realized she was still breathing.

I wanted to pull her away from Sasuke and hold her in my cut up, numb arms. I wanted to cradle her and whisper words of love, and how she'd be alright, that this was just a dream. But when she turned her head to weakly look over her shoulder, the pained expression on her face told me that it was too late. Her lips moved, and a raspy whisper of a good-bye left her lips. I shook my head again, and reached out to touch her flushed cheek. Sakura let out a hoarse cough, blood spluttering out of her mouth, and running down her chin from the corners of her mouth. My freezing fingers barely felt her skin, for the kunoichi eyes dropped, and she slumped forward, her body leaning against her killer.

"NO! DON'T LEAVE ME!" I yelled loudly. Tears stung my cheeks, though I made no action to brush them away. My arm dropped to my side, and I made no attempt to approach her. "Sakura! Don't do this to me….please…..please."

My sobbing spell lasted for a while longer before I grasped something rather important. Sasuke had killed the woman that I was in love with. How dare he? I looked up, and shot the most heated glare I could conjure towards him.

"YOU BASTARD! YOU KILLED HER! WHY WOULD YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT? YOU MURDERER!" My voice seemed to be more strident than I had thought it would be.

The sight of Sasuke made me want to bite my tongue, and take back my words, and walk away. His arm was still penetrating the pink-haired, lifeless girl, more his pale, bloodied skin exposed now that her body was resting against his. Sasuke's sharingan faded slowly, leaving his onyx orbs wide. He was shaking, just as I was, and for once……I actually got to see my old teammate cry. Droplets salty liquid seeped from his eyes, and occasionally he let out an almost silent sob, and if I hadn't seen the streaks on his face I never would have known he was crying.

"H-help…..me…..dobe." Sasuke asked quietly. I just stood there for what seemed like an eternity, staring at the two people in front of me.

"When I'm with you…..I wonder if that's what it feels like to have a brother…"

Now I know for sure what it feels like to be Sasuke. To have the most important thing in your life ripped from you, to be killed by somebody so important. Sasuke is like my Itachi; he took Sakura away from me, just like Itachi took away Sasuke's family.

He repeated his question, and I responded with a nod this time. My feet carried me slowly to the two people, and when I was close enough to Sakura, my emotions seemed to take over again, and I hugged her tightly. While doing so, the Uchiha slowly pulled his arm out of the gaping hole which was located right on her sternum.

I rested my forehead on her shoulder and began to cry again, whispering apologies, and how sorry I was for not being able to protect her. I continued to whisper until the familiar masculine voice interrupted.

"Dobe, she's dead. Let her go, and go back home." He said, the stoic personality which I knew all to well showing again. There were no more tears streaking his face, but it was obvious that he had been crying before. How could he go from so shocked and upset to so nonchalant and stoic? I didn't understand, but it made me very frustrated.

"WHAT?" I asked, "How can you not be upset? How can you just walk away from the team mate you just killed? " I lifted my head from Sakura's shoulder and looked at him. He was trying to hide it, but I could tell that he somewhat felt the same way I did. I could see in Sasuke's eyes that he was distraught and very affected by her death.

"She's just a foolish girl." Sasuke stated, before turning to walk away.
