Hey everyone! Sorry for the late update. I was really busy!

Please leave reviews!

Disclaimer: Stupid, yes, but must be said... I don't own Naruto =[

Unbeknownst to myself, my eyes began to tear, and my mind became hazy. I couldn't stop him before, so why bother trying now? Once again, Sasuke hurt me by opening his damn mouth.

"Sakura, once we finish this mission, I'm leaving. I won't be coming back."

I suddenly got so angry. It was like a flame had erupted within me."So you're just going to leave like before? Why can't you do it while staying in league with Konoha? Are you going to be a traitor again?! God, you are just like your brother!"

Now, here we are, back to the present.

As soon as I said that, I knew I was going to die. That was going completely overboard. But who could blame me? It's the truth. I have never been scared of Sasuke, until now, that is.

Honestly, if looks could kill, I would have been killed and brought back at least 20 times. He gave me the most menacing look I've ever seen, grit his teeth, and began clenching and unclenching his fists.

I almost felt sorry for that poor tomato in his hand, until I realized what was about to happen to me.

Dear God, please don't let this hurt too much! And please send everyone a message that I will miss them and that it was my own fault for getting killed.

Just as Sasuke was about to open his mouth, I said, "Sasuke, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it."

He gave me a look that said, 'Are you fucking serious? It doesn't matter. I'm still going to kill you.' Yes, it was a creepy look.

"Sakura…" That sounded like a very intimidating growl, and I just got pissed all over again!

What gives him the right to get mad at me? So what if I insulted him! That jackass deserved it; sexiness be damned!

"Don't 'Sakura' me, you asshole! If you leave, you are going to be just like him. Why would you betray the people that care about you? You can still kill him without leaving the village!"

Sasuke just sat there, hopefully taking in my wise words. Maybe he would ignore the fact that I insulted him yet again and forgive me for it all.

A small part of me wishes he would suddenly realize his love for me and ask to be with me forever. Yeah right, as if that would ever happen! Besides, I've finally stopped acting like his fangirl, so I should be glad he even acknowledges my existence.

Sasuke finally raised his eyes to mine and said, "I know that the Hokage would want other people to come with me, and I know they would interfere." He's such a moron sometimes, I swear!

"Sasuke, when you go to kill Itachi, Naruto and I will be there with you, but I promise you that we won't do anything to interfere."

After soaking in that bit of information, he said, "I don't believe you. Naruto would jump in as soon as possible."

"Well what if Naruto didn't go... What if it was just me? I give you my word I won't do anything!"

Sasuke pushed himself back to lean on the wall, and peered into my eyes, probably trying to tell whether or not I was lying. I looked back into his, trying to convey the truth through our contact.

Finally, he let out a sigh and said, "Alright Sakura… But you have to promise that you will do whatever I say. If I say to run, you will. If I say to leave me and save yourself, you will. Can you promise me that?"

Taking a deep breath, I looked back into his eyes, and said, "I promise, Sasuke…" I could feel a weight on my shoulders, and didn't dare move or take my eyes away from Sasuke.

By now, he had turned his gaze to the fire, burning brightly in the dim cave. I could see a strange look in his eyes, but I couldn't quite decipher it. I suppose the closest it would match to would be worry.

I was about to ask him what was wrong, but I remembered that he doesn't like people in his business, so I refrained from doing so. I bit my lip and looked out into the night sky. So far, the rain hadn't let up. I guess we'll be here for the rest of the night.

I walked towards my backpack, taking off my wet clothes. My already clingy red shirt was practically sticking to me like a second skin, making it very difficult to take off. After that, I took of my beige skirt, keeping on my tight biker shorts and breast bindings. Then, I took my backpack with me and went over to my blankets and sat down, placing it next to me.

Sasuke was still staring at the fire, but spared me a quick glance, noticing my change of clothes, and then looked away. His black wife beater was sticking to his skin as well, further accentuating his muscles. He was also wearing long black pants and a navy belt, which were only slightly wet.

Apparently, he didn't want to get sick either, so he stood up and slowly peeled off his shirt, revealing his glorious six-pack. I swear, I almost died of combustion!

I just want to touch those sexy abs…

Once his shirt was off, I looked away. There's no sense in me ruining my chance of going with him because I was ogling. He put his shirt to dry and then returned to his sitting position.

After a few minutes, we both finished eating our previously forgotten meals. I was getting pretty sick of the silence, but I wasn't sure what to say. Oh well. It's better to just shut up instead of being an idiot. I settled into my blankets, but I'm not tired.

Instead of forcing myself to sleep, I just look at Sasuke.

That's all for now! I hope you liked it and I hope you review... ^_^
