Disclaimer: If I owned Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto would be wearing afro-puffs and a donkey tail, screaming at my toilet to apologize for not wiping him. Yes. It's true. It's all true.

Reveal You're Secret
Chapter four
The Dream
In the hospital room.
Tsunade sat on a dark brown oak chair, her arms fumbling around with some papers. Her left arm massaged the left temple, her head in an awkward posture. The papers were fiddled with doodle and eraser marks. They were Death Certificates; each had an empty line in the bottom left corner. Sakura's signature was needed.
(Dream)
"Momma!! Papa!! Brother!! Where are you!?" echoes.
She ran down the empty dirt road. Sand slipped in through her saddlers, blistering her skin. Tears stained her pale cheeks. The houses were empty. Fires weren't seen, but the smoke was visible.
She slid to a stop. Her hair caked with mud and blood, her arms and legs stung with the particles in the air. She screamed. Below her were bodies.
She grasped her neck, she would die too. It would be painless and she was sure of it.
Everyone below her was someone that meant something to her. Father, mother, brother, grandmother, grandfather, Kendra and Lucifer, Alular, Violet, Nami, her dog Rockslide, Naruto-san, Tenten-chan, Hinata-chan, Ino-chan, Kiba-san, Kakashi-sensei, Gaara-sama, Lee-kun, Temari-chan. The last body frightened her, causing her hands to tighten around her throat. She wanted to die too; she wanted to be WITH them. Not live without them. Especially that last body.
Sasuke…
His body was torn. Sliced. Cut. Dissected. His eyes wide open; they were watching everything around him. Then they moved. Then they stared at her.
She gasped. "Sasuke-kun!!" hopelessly yelling to the dead body, connected to the living eyes. His mouth opened, revealing a pool of blood seeping out the sides. Lying flat on his back.
Sakura made a run for it, down the hill towards the spiny spikes of cold stone, separating her from him. She tripped over Aunt's chest. Straight to her face the ground met. The tears now mixed with blood. She slid the rest of the way, not seeming to stop.
Her eyes opened. They met two larger, wider, red eyes. His eyes. Tears of red gushed from the ducts. He was draining, she had to stop it. She couldn't lose him.
He couldn't become empty or he wouldn't exist. He'll disappear like everyone else has.
She jumped forward, her tears falling onto his shirt. "Don't worry Sasuke-kun!! I'll save you from leaking!!" Her attempts do seal in the blood failed. His arm rose, snatching her wrists from covering his eyes.
She screamed under the pressure of his grip.
"Sakura, I'll be o-"
"No!" she howled. "You won't! You'll go away like everyone else! Don't leave me alone Sasuke-kun!! Please!!" Guilt struck her as she realized she could have just interrupted the last sentence he would breathe. And it was meant for her, not Ino, Naruto, or Itachi.
Her. And only her sentence.
"I'll be okay. Y-you just have to do one th-thing for me, Sakura-Chan." he let go of her wrist as it began to shiver.
The sentence really was for her. She could tell it. Chan was the suffix Naruto labeled her with. She knew Sasuke would never use it. But never thought of dropping his 'kun'. She had to brace for his last words of undying love for her. And only her.
"What do I need to do for you, Sasuke-kun?" her voice dropped to a sniffling whisper.
"Just..." he grabbed her surprised hand with speed.
She nodded as encouragement.
"Wake. Up."
"Wha…" confusingly, she opened her mouth and tilted her head.
"Just wake up, Sakura."
Then she fell. And he deflated. "Sasuke-kuuuun!!!" her arms sunk into the black hole under him.
(End Dream)
Her eyes lit open. Jamming the lids to the sides as she awoke. Screaming, two hands gripped on her shoulders.
"Sakura!! Sakura-chan! It's just me! Stop Screaming!!"
She immediately covered her mouth, the tears already beginning.
'Was it a nightmare..?'
Then one hand lifted from her shoulder and attached to her forehead.
"You must have a fever or something. Hmm, I'll go get your antiseptic. Don't you move... not like you can anyway…"
'Who was that? Just now?'
Beats me. Now get up, my ass hurts from your constant humping the bed.
'Humping!? You're crazy! Jug-'
Dreaming of Sasuke, eh? Cha! That's my girl!
'No! Shut up!'
"No! Shut up!" she screamed.
A blonde head popped up from its sleeping position, revealing a goofy smile, six whiskers, text imprinted on the left cheek, and two blonde eyes.
"So you've waken up, ne? Sakura-chan!" he perked up and stared at her confused face.
'What just happened..?'
You almost blew my cover, that's what happened.
"Naruto, where am I?"
Naruto stared at the paper that was attached to his cheek, then as it fluttered to the checkered tile.
"Sasuke-teme said you had over smoke inhalation. But, hehe... I bet he lied." He weakly smiled and covered the back of his head with his hand.
Poke. Poke. "Sakura...wake up! Wake up!" Ino giggled.
"Don't touch her she's still sick!!" Naruto pulled her away when she looked back.
"Naruto.." Sakura squeaked. Tears began leaking from her eyes.
"See! She doesn't want you here Ino!! She only wants m- yow!"
"Naruto no Baka!"
"Stop hitting me! Yow!! Ah!!-"
"Naruto, has my mother come in yet?"
The two fighting immediately stopped revealing an awkward pose. Ino was chewing on Naruto's arm while he was still trying to pull her away.
"You're mother, Sakura? Umm. Well here." He fished something out of his pocket, and then handed it to her.
"My family photo..?" She whispered as her eyes squeezed shut and pushed up against the back of the bed.
"Why'd you bring me this?"
"Eh...Wel-"
The door was pushed open.
"Here's your antiseptic, Sakura-chan. Drink it now, you're fever will soon decrease."
"Fever? What's going on? Why am I here in the first place?"
"Sakura-chan, you must have some sort of amnesia. You couldn't have possibly forgotten that your house has burnt to a crisp!"
"Way to put it you baka." Whispered Ino as she painfully jabbed Naruto in the rib.
"Sheez."
Sakura threw the small picture against the wall right above Naruto's head and screamed. Loud.
Immediately she threw back the sheets and leaped towards the balcony. Skidding to the left slightly as Ino jumped to grab her.
"You can't leave Sakura!! You haven't been discharged!!"
- - - -
He sighed; cleaning up the rubble of this place was very annoying. It was the least he could do, even though he was sentenced, given the mission by Tsunade.
Next room to clear was Mr. and Mrs. Haruno's room. Ech, he only wished Sakura's room was next then he would be done with it all.
Hoisting the trash bag over his shoulder, full of debris from the ground, thank god Sakura's room was next. To his surprise the room was... pink. But near the bottom of the walls and around the threshold it as charred, black. One charred bed, printed with white flowers.
"Geeze. Why pink?"
Suddenly, footsteps. Large heavy ones. Then breathing. Sasuke slowly tip-toed to the bed and placed the bag of rubble against the headboard and slipped towards the door peeking out.
Nothing...
"Hmmm..."
Slowly he crept out of the door...
"Boo."
"Gah!"
"My apologies, Sasuke-san. Did I startle you?" grimaced his silver-haired sensei.
"No." he said plainly. Hoping the jounin would understand that he did NOT want to speak to him at the time.
"Hm, cleaning Sakura's room, eh? Why don't I lend you a hand?" he smiled as he brushed by Sasuke.
"Whatever..."
- - - -
"One hundred twenty-three... one hundred twenty-four... one hundred twenty-five... one hundred twenty-six... gah...one hundred twenty-seven... damn... one hundred twenty-eight... two more and Sakura-san will surely visit me! One hun- rah!!" falling to the ground, Rock Lee was exghausted. He was used to going further than three hundred, but training throughout the morning in 97 degree temperature was very unfortunate.
Groaning, he pushed himself upwards and rubbed the back of his neck.
Suddenly, he turned chibi with both arms dangling in front of him and his head held down, the only thing visible were the two rivers of tears flowing out of his eyes.
"NOW SAKURA WILL NEVER LOVE ME!!!!" he whined, loudly.
Sighing, he grabbed his pack, threw it over his muscular back and drug his feet home.
- - - -
Sakura ran. Past Sasuke's house. Past Naruto's apartment. Past Ino's flower shop. Past the Academy. Down the river's side.. And over the bride, skidding. Immediatly her eyes grew. This couldn't be happeneing...
...everything was gone...
