Summary: The broken tale of Sakura Haruno. Sasuke, the love of her life, has left Kohona, and 2 years later he comes back. He expects Sakura to fall for him, and this time he would marry her, he was wrong. He meets Naruto first who tells him that she has a boy-friend "Anku." What he doesn't know is her beats her, calls her names, and is a drunk. What will happen when he finds out? Will she let him? SasSaku Rated "T" for obvious reasons.

Last Chapter on a.A.F.a.C.M

He chased after her. The rain covered her tears, and she heard "Sakura, Sakura, stop please." faintly. She didnt turn around she just kept running. She knew that she couldnt out run him, she knew he would catch up. The calls grew louder, he was closer, she ran faster. Even louder, she couldnt run any faster. She tripped and fell. She was soaked in water head to toe, so was he. Their hair was sticking to both of their faces. He stopped running, he was right next to her. She stood up, "What do you want Sasuke?" He smiled and began to talk.

Chapter 4 Telling

He opened his mouth, trying to say what he needed to say. His onyx eyes staring at her emerald. He watched her eyes fill up with tears, she turned her head away. "Sasuke, what do you want from me?" He tried to speak again, no luck. She looked at him, his mouth wide open, and he still had a smirk on his face.

"I have nothing for you Sasuke. I am with Anku." she said. 'I have Anku, he loves me, I have Anku.' she thought. She looked at her sleeve, she could see through the pink fabric, the handprint left from Anku still there. Sakura squeezed the bruise, she winced in the pain, a couple tears fell from her eyes. She had been doing this for a while, she always said that Anku loved her, then she would look at the physical pain the he had done to her and she would make it hurt worse. She thought that they physical pain wouldn't hurt near as much as the emotional pain he had caused her.

'Anku.' Sasuke thought. "Sakura why did you run out of the resturant. It's ridiculous to run in the rain." He couldnt say how he felt. He couldnt figure out why, he had waited all of this time. Then when the moment came to say something, to tell her, something in his body was holding him back.

(You cant do this.) his inner voice said, reluctently.

'Why? Why not?"

(She was going to die, she was going to take her life for you.)

'If i tell her how i feel then maybe we will be happy, maybe things will be the way it was suppose to be 2 years ago.'

(Your placing her life on maybe's? She was going to kill her self over you, over us. If she was going to do it then, what is stopping her now? She has Anku now, like she said she is happy.)

'No she's not!' he thought angrily, 'I have seen Sakura happy, i was there when she passed the chunin exams, i know what Sakura Haruno looks like when she is happy. She's not!'

Is it still me that makes you sweat?
Am I who you think about in bed?
When the lights are dim and your hands are shaking as you're sliding off your dress?
Then think of what you did
And how I hope to God he was worth it.
When the lights are dim and your heart is racing as your fingers touch his skin.
I've got more wit, a better kiss, a hotter touch, a better fuck
Than any boy you'll ever meet, sweetie you had me
Girl I was it, look past the sweat, a better love deserving of
Exchanging body heat in the passenger seat?
No, no, no, you know it will always just be me

(You dont think she is happy, you just cant stand the thought of her being happy with someone besides you. When you had no problem leaving 2 years ago, she wanted you, she needed you, and you didnt care. I tried to tell you to stay, that this was a big mistake. If you wont even listen to your inner-self then there is no way that you are going to do the right thing.)

Sasuke looked at Sakura, her face looking shocked, like she had seen a ghost. Which basically what Sasuke was to her, a ghost. Something that never was, something that hurt her and left without a goodbye. Sasuke was as good as dead to her.

"Sasuke what do you want? What do you want from me? I have nothing of yours." she said she fell to the ground again, and started to sob. The rain came down harder.

He bent down, and lifted up her chin, he looked at her. Her hair sticking to her face, and her eyelashes sweeping the tears and the rain away. She turned her head away from his gaze, and stared at the rain drops hitting the pavement next to her. He put his arms around her, and then she just pushed his arms off of her. Sakura's body was covered in rain, her face was covered in tears. The memories coming back to her, hitting her like a bus. It was overwhelming, she wanted to hurt him, she wanted to make him feel like she did when he left. She wanted him to feel the pain that he had caused her 2 years ago. She couldn't take it any more, she stood up and tried to runaway again, trying to get away from the heartache. Sasuke took her arm, he grabbed the bruise made by Anku, though he didnt know it was there.

He pulled her close to him and hugged her, her arms staying at her side, making no attempt to hug him back. Her tearful memories coming even faster, flashes of pictures going across her eyes, she saw the Forest of Death, and how Sasuke was there. She saw how Orochimaru killed the Hokage, and Sasuke was there. She saw how Gaara had her captured, and there was Sasuke lying a branch, staring at her. Her eyes getting full of tears, Sasukes grip on her getting tighter.

She raised her arms up and started to cry. "You were never there!" she cried. Her delicate hands turned into fists hitting him on the chest. He just stared at her, not stopping her just listening. "You werent there. I needed you and you just left. I wanted to talk to you, i needed you there wtith me and you were gone. You were always there when i needed you, but when you left i needed you even more, and you werent there! I said i loved you and you just left me alone not even caring. Did you even think about me? Did you even care about me? I was going to die. I wanted to die, i knew without you i had nothing, without you i didnt want to live. I didnt deserve to live without you!"

Let's get these teen hearts beating. Faster, faster
So testosterone boys and harlequin girls,
Will you dance to this beat, and hold a lover close?
So testosterone boys and harlequin girls,
Will you dance to this beat, and hold a lover close?

Her fists continued to hit Sasuke, he was just looking at her, he didnt say anything, he felt horrible. "And you just come back and expect everything to be the way it was? Do you just expect me to fall in love with you again? Just so you can do what you did to me 2 years ago. I cant do that Sasuke. I would rather die than go through that again. You hurt me! You hurt me...you hurt me!"

Thunder started to crash, and lightning flickered. Her fists pounding slowly on his chest, the rain bouncing off his shirt with every punch. He let go of her waist, and he took his hands and gently grabbed her fists. "Sakura. I'm sorry."

She looked up, her face red from the tears. "Your sorry? Your sorry! Sasuke 'sorry' isnt going to make me feel better. Sorry isnt going to help me forget what you did to me."

"I dont expect it to Sakura, I'm very sorry for what i have done to you. You dont...you shouldnt have to go through what you did. I caused all of this. Sakura didnt you understand, i needed to do this. I had to go get revenge on Itachi for killing my family. I had to go with Orochimaru to get that power. Now they are both dead, and we can be together."

She gasped, "Revenge was more important then me then, right. Sasuke how do i...you know that something like this wont happen again? How do you know that they are both dead? They have risen the dead before, we have seen it done! How do you know that Kabuto or someother sound ninja, or Atakusi wont raise them from the dead, even if they are dead?"

So I guess we're back to us, oh cameraman, swing the focus
In case I lost my train of thought, where was it that we last left off?
(Let's pick up, pick up)

Oh now I do recall, we were just getting to the part
Where the shock sets in, and the stomach acid finds a new way to make you get sick.
I hope you didn't expect that you'd get all of the attention.
Now let's not get selfish
Did you really think I'd let you kill this chorus?

"I just do." he lied, he didnt think about that, he didnt believe...he didnt think that, that was possible happen, even though it was. He had seen it done with the first and second hokage.

"What do you mean we can be together? Sasuke you left me! You cant do that to me again."

"I wont. I promise."

"How can you promise something like that?" More tears.

Sasuke didnt know what to say. He remembered what Naruto said.

Flashback

"Do you know how much distress you caused? Mostly for Sakura?"

"That's in the past, I came to make things right."

"No. Not until you tell me what happened."

"What do you mean? I got my revenge on Itachi, and then I killed Orochimaru. What else is there to know?'

"What do you want now Sasuke?"

"I realized what I did was a mistake. I hurt Sakura, and so many other people who cared and worried about me. I betrayed the village, and….." he couldn't finish, he couldn't think of anything else to say. "I don't need to explain myself to you, dobe. What matters is that I'm back and I am here to make things right."

"You keep saying that. What do you have to make right, you got your revenge and to you that's all that mattered. Now you have nothing else here. As your friend I advise you to really see what you want."

"I want Sakura. I love her, she was the last person to see me before I left. She threatened to report me so I left her on the bench. Before I left I kissed her. I love her, when she see's me tomorrow I will tell her that. Then everything will be how it should've been."

Naruto looked at the ground solemnly. "If only you would have came sooner." he said. The sudden happiness left the genins voice, and it was replaced by regret.

"What do you mean. Is there something wrong with Sakura? Is she hurt?"

Naruto just shook his head, "No…she's fine….But she's taken."

"…."

"She has a boy-friend, Sasuke."

"For how long?"

"About 7 months. She thought you were dead. Everyone told her that you weren't coming back, they told her you were dead. She didn't believe them, but 7 months after not hearing anything, or seeing you…..She moved on. There was nothing left for her. She was about to commit suicide, Sasuke. You were worth dying over for her, and you just left." His voice was breaking, he just started at the ground, in the terrifying memories.

"She didn't care for anyone, Anku came from the Village of the Swamp. Everyone told her to move on, he was interested in her and she gave in, she settled for him. Sasuke, you cant hurt her again. Do you know what it was like seeing her like that? Day after day, she cried, not eating or drinking everything, she was dying. Everybody watched her die slowly, so many people cried, they even had a funeral planned out. If you ever do something to hurt her again…I will kill you."

Sasuke just looked at his ex-teammate. 'She was going to kill herself over me? She has a new boyfriend, she was basically killing herself. Nothing was as important as my revenge to me then…now looking back ….I was wrong. I never want to hurt her like that again.'

"So what am I suppose to do Naruto? I cant just ignore her, she'll find out sooner or later that I'm back. Then what? What am I suppose to do?" he said angrily.

"Nothing. Just let her go."

"I cant do that."

"You're gonna have to try."

"No. She has to know, I don't expect her to come back to me. She just has to know."

"No, Sasuke. Move on. You cant find someone else. There are plenty of fan girls that would be happy to see you. Just leave Sakura alone."

"I dont want anyother girl. Naruto, she's my friend too."

"Ex-best friend. After you left she swore never to talk to you again. If she ever saw you again."

"Well I'm going to have to change her mind."

"Just leave her alone. Don't talk to her, don't look at her, Sasuke. If you really cared about her you would leave her alone, its better for her."

He didnt want to make her go through that again. He couldnt forgive himself if he did. 'I love her.' he thought, 'i do, i love her.'

"Sasuke. Answer me. How can you promise something like that?"

"Because, because..."

She stared at him trying to figure out what he was going to say, and getting ready for the impact.

"Because, Sakura." that was it he was going to say it, he couldnt keep it inside anymore, 'I-I-I...I love you." He moved his body closer to her, and closed his eyes, he was going to try and kiss her. She took a step back, missing the kiss she had always dreamed of.

"No, no you dont." she shook her head in disbelief. "You can't, you cant, you dont...you dont love me." Those words hit her so hard, she felt her heart beating. It was umbarable, she thought it was going to burst out of her chest and explode. Her mind felt as if it was going to burn up in smoke. She couldnt go through this again, 'No not again.' she thought.

I've got more wit, a better kiss, a hotter touch, a better fuck
Than any boy you'll ever meet, sweetie you had me
Girl I was it, look past the sweat, a better love deserving of
Exchanging body heat in the passenger seat?
No, no, no, you know it will always just be me

"Yes i do. I came back for you Sakura. I relized what i did was a mistake, i should have never left you, i should have never left Kohona. I love you."

"Stop saying that!" she said, her hands trembling, "You dont love me. You cant, and you never have."

"Yes i have. I love you Sakura."

"Please stop." she started to cry a little.

"No. I wont stop until you tell me that you love me to."

'I cant.' she thought, 'i do love you Sasuke. I do, i cant go through that again' She stared at the bruise again, she started to squeeze it so hard, she thought she was going to pass out from the pain. 'If i do this again, if i love him again, the pain from this bruise will hurt ten times more.' she thought sadly. "Sasuke you dont love me, you never have, and you wont love me ever."

"Sakura tell me that you love me to."

"I cant."

"But you do."

"No." she said, and she turned around. "I dont." she looked at him, "No, Anku loves me." she started to run again, this time Sasuke didnt try and stop her.
