A Dream To Die For
Sasuke lay dying on the battlefield as Sakura struggled to pump healing chakra into his wounds. The countryside was a mess – trees were scorched from Sasuke's fireball attacks and large amounts of land were displaced due to Sakura's land-breaking punches and their enemy's earth style techniques. The man had been a missing-nin from Iwagakure who used earth in a similar manner to the Godaime Kazekage's sand – dragging the earth from beneath their feet, only to wrap it around them and crush them.
Sasuke looked at the struggling girl above him. "There's no point, Sakura," he informed her tonelessly.
Sakura refused to accept his words. "Don't talk like that Sasuke-kun. I won't let you die on me."
Sasuke continued, "It's too late. There's nothing you can to. The damage is too extensive. I saw how hard you were fighting – it's obvious that you're nearly out of chakra."
Sakura took his words as a challenge, determined to keep her love alive. "I can keep going…" However, as soon as those words left her mouth, Murphy's Law kicked into effect and the green glow of her chakra promptly fizzled and died out.
Sasuke stared up at her. "Well, if I'm going to die, then I want you to kiss me."
Sakura nearly fainted, and not from chakra exhaustion either. "Really?"
Sasuke smiled and said, "Of course, Sakura. I have always loved you after all."
Sakura's heart melted. "Oh, Sasuke-kun…" She leaned forward to kiss him…
Sasuke spoke her name. "Sakura."
His voice sounded a little strange – older, deeper and bizarrely familiar – but Sakura didn't pay any heed to it.
Sakura responded dreamily, "Yes, Sasuke-kun?" Her lips were all puckered for the kiss of a lifetime when…
Sasuke vanished and Kakashi appeared in his place, looking at her with his visible eye curved up happily. "Sakura, you're daydreaming again."
