Wow, can't believe how popular this story is getting. So, I guess it would be rude of me to stop the story. We're gonna keep on going then! Our second to last chapter!

Chapter 5: Veins All Tangled Close

"Sakura…" he said in a husky voice that could make any ordinary girl melt. His onyx eyes stared intently in mine, like he could see through them. He started to lean his head closer to mine…

"Aww, isn't that so sweet," came a voice from behind us. We instantly snapped out of our trance.

"Sasuke-kun and Sakura-chan would make the cutest couple, wouldn't they?" said another voice.

The two of us turned to find…

"Now, now, Sakura-san, Sasuke-kun. Don't be surprised to see us," said the medic-nin while using his finger to push up his glasses to the bridge of his nose.

"Yes, especially Sasuke-kun. You didn't expect me to be defeated that easily, since you still owe me something…" said the Sannin.

"Just as I expected, Orochimaru. Won't quit until you've taken over my body," announced Sasuke.

"So, I'm guessing that you two are together now…" trailed off Orochimaru.

Together? Nani? Me and Sasuke? Wait…Backtracking…Oh we were not about to-GYAH!

'Uh-huh! And you were about to let him…'

'No, I wasn't!'

'Yes, you were!'

'Not!'

'Yes!'

'NOT!'

'YES!'

"Ahh, I could see it now, little Uchihas; a boy with black hair and dark eyes and a little girl with pink hair and the most stunning jade eyes." Orochimaru started to tell his own little story.

If looks could kill, then I would be standing over a man with no arms, his head cut off and both of his legs broken in twenty places.

But, he still didn't stop there. "Oh, how great of a shinobi the son would be. A prodigy and master of the Sharingan, exactly like his father. And as for the kunoichi, why wouldn't she possess strength and knowledge of the medical world like her mother?"

"Look, asshole!" I shouted. "We are not together!"

"Hmm, yet we walked into something, didn't we?" asked Kabuto.

"That's it!" was my battle cry as I fused my fist with chakra. I sprinted towards Kabuto and aimed for his stomach. He dodged it and went for a counter attack. I barely managed to get out of the way.

"I guess that means we're fighting then!" Sasuke charged for Orochimaru.

Kabuto launched towards me. I easily dodged his fist and sent mine to his stomach. He went flying into a tree. "Hmm, not bad…" he said as he stood up and wiped the blood dripped from his mouth, acting like nothing happened. Outraged, I ran to him and thrust my leg up to kick him straight in the jaw. He moved out of the way just in time and my foot came in contact with the tree, causing it to fall down.

He was sweating now. Good. "Is that the best you got?" he asked.

"Nope. Just getting started!" I shouted as I charged for him. He caught my fist with his left hand and thrust his right fist into my stomach. I bent my head over and coughed up blood.

"You sure? Cause you seem to me to be fighting a battle that's already over!"

"Oh yeah? Well, it's not over yet!" I gathered up chakra in my fist and hit him square in the chest. He flew back into another tree, which cracked on the impact. "How's your ribs?" I asked him. "You should have about four that aren't broken right now."

In response, Kabuto violently coughed up blood. Must have penetrated a lung. Kabuto tried to raise a shaking hand to heal himself. He had another coughing fit.

"Very good…Sakura-san…When you hit me…You blocked…Off my…Chakra, so I…couldn't heal myself…Plus, the damage…Is immense…Never thought the girl…Who couldn't do anything…Could come to beat me…"

And after one more set of bloody coughs, Yakushi Kabuto took his last breath.

Hope you go to Hell. Now, to see how Sasuke is doing…

The two where panting like mad. Sasuke had blood dripping from the corner of his mouth and his shirt was torn to reveal cuts. Orochimaru also had blood dripping from the corner of his mouth and a long diagonal wound going from his right shoulder down to his stomach, fresh crimson red blood covering the ground. Sasuke's katana was thrust into his chest. Orochimaru let out a blood-spattered cough.

"Chidori Nagashi!" cried Sasuke. Chakra burst in lighting form all around his body. Orochimaru was sent flying back. He landed against a tree and slumped.

"Sasuke-kun, once again…You've proven to be strong…" whispered Orochimaru.

Sasuke walked up to him. "You knew this day was coming. The day you died in the hands of an Uchiha. You're weaker than me, Orochimaru. There's no point in sacrificing my body to you anymore."

In a split movement, I snake came from his mouth and thrust a sword to his stomach. Sasuke coughed up blood.

"Sasuke!" I cried. I ran towards him.

"Wait!" he said and held his hand up, ordering me to stop. He then gripped his katana with both hands and held it high above Orochimaru. "Goodbye. I hope you rot in Hell." And with that, he thrust his sword into Orochimaru's chest.

On this day, the third Sannin, former sensei of Mitarashi Anko, missing nin from Konoha, S-rank criminal in the Bingo Book, former Akatsuki member, creator and leader of the Sound Village, and former shishou of Uchiha Sasuke, Orochimaru, died.

"Sasuke!" now I was able to give him help. I laid Sasuke down on the ground and immediately got to work by applying chakra to his wounds.

"Sakura…"

"Shush, I'll be done soon."

At least the wounds were closed up. I took out the ointment Tsunade shishou made and applied it to Sasuke's stomach wound.

"We did it, Sakura-chan."

"Yeah…"

"Sakura…" warm hands covered mine. I dropped the ointment. Sasuke moved to a sitting position.

"Sasuke, you shouldn't sit up-" I stopped my scolding. His right hand moved and cupped my chin. He moved his head closer to mine. "Sasuke-kun…" I moved towards him. Both of our eyes closed. I could feel his breath on my lips. Then our lips finally met.

'YES!!!'

'Quiet.'

'Fine…'

WOOT! FINALLY! YAY! THE OREO IS DEAD AND SO IS KABUTO! AND PLUS, SASUKE AND SAKURA FINALLY KISSED!!! (dances)

Review please!
