Hey every1 thanks for the reviews, alerting and favouritings. U all kept me inspired. Here is chapter 6. Enjoy!

Chapter 6-

Sasuke awoke, feeling his face wet. There was something on his chest as well. He opened his eyes slowly met by droplets of rain. He started to recollect the events before. They were separated. Sakura was with him. 'Where is she' he thought. He couldn't really lift his head up properly and he didn't want to. But he wanted to know what was warm on his chest. He lifted his head up supported by his elbows. He glanced at the sight before him. There she was, paled her pink hair plastered her face in the rain. He stared at her for awhile until the realization hit him. 'I have to get us out of the rain and fast' he thought. He quickly lifted sakura in a bridal style noting how cold she was. He also noticed that he was also wearing her cloak on top of his. 'What was she thinking?' he thought. He took off both of the cloak and put them on her like how he was just now. She was still too cold for his liking so he held her closer, hoping to warm her up. Her temperature didn't raise much but it couldn't be help and with that he started finding somewhere to get warmed up. Her breaths were becoming shallow. After sometime running in the rain, he finally found a small cave. Sasuke hurried into the cave. He carefully set sakura down. He glanced around and fortunately found some dry woods. He piled them up and gathered his chakra to perform the fire jutsu. The fire helped him see sakura's features more clearly. She was definitely pale and her bright pink hair was a little dull. He saw her shivering and wincing at times. He walked towards her and sat down in front of her. He put his hand on sakura's head and it was burning hot. It made sasuke panic a little. Her whole body was cold yet burning. He quickly ripped the edge of the cloak. He didn't need to wet it cuz it was already soaked from the rain. He placed it on sakura's head. 'She looks so peaceful' sasuke thought but he knew she was probably feeling the opposite inside. She's probably hurting and struggling. Sasuke felt something in his chest but didn't know what.

Sakura felt her head bursting, her whole body was numb. But somehow she found herself surprisingly calm. 'Am I dead?' she even wondered. But she knew she is breathing and her heart beating. She remembered what had happened. Then her calmness dissolved. 'SASUKE!' she thought. She furiously commanded her eyes to open. First it didn't seem to obey but after sometime she felt her eyelids flutter. She widened them so they won't close down again. The first thing she saw was sasuke looking down at her. She thought she saw some concern under his stoic face.

".ke" she managed to choke out.

"hn, stop talking" he replied.

"Are you ok" she asked ignoring what he said and the pain on her body. 'Am I ok? Is she crazy? She is the one who is not. She's worrying about me? I wonder if she still loves me.' All these thoughts ran through sasuke's mind but he kept his face straight.

"Sakura, worry about yourself"

Sakura was about to smile, maybe sasuke does care a little when she started coughing violently. She covered her mouth with her hands.

"Sakura, what's wrong?" He didn't receive any answer because sakura was already unconscious again. He saw her hand was covered with some blood. That made his heart race. He didn't know what was wrong. When he checked her, she only had minor scratches. He didn't remember her getting hurt when they were fighting and he only fainted after all the ninjas retreated. But then he remembered her like this before as well. 'Did she know about this? She probably did, she was a medic after all'

Meanwhile-

Karin, suigetsu and juugo had found each other.

"Where's my sasuke-kun?" Karin whined.

"He was together with sakura" juugo answered.

"Where's the eight tail?" suigetsu cut in before Karin could shriek.

"They managed to get it back from me" juugo said sadly looking down.

"Oh boy, that's going to be trouble" suigetsu claimed.

"There's a bigger problem! What if that bit*h takes advantage of sasuke's chakra less, vulnerable state?" Karin shouted.

"Sakura isn't that type of person" juugo stated calmly.

"Yea, she isn't like you" suigetsu joined in.

"What are you talking about?" Karin retorted back.

"Well, you are the only one who thinks that way. That's why you get that idea when the rest of us didn't think about" suigetsu explained. Karin huffed because she didn't have any comebacks. Suigetsu grin wider seeing this but continued "but in any case we should find them fast" Juugo nodded somberly, sulking about what he would have to tell sasuke.

"Karin, can you sense them?" suigetsu asked taking in charge.

"I haven't recovered much chakra so it might take some time and the rain isn't helping" Karin replied. And so they set out to find them.

Back with sakura and sasuke-

The rain was thinning. Sakura was still unconscious. Sasuke had wiped the blood from her mouth and hand. She winced and flinched at times. Sasuke had his back against the cave wall near sakura. He kept glancing at the girl's pale face. He then eventually fell asleep since he was tired and out of chakra.

With Karin, Juugo and suigetsu-

The rain had completely stopped. "I can sense sasuke nearby" Karin exclaimed excitedly. Then she muttered "along with that girl".

"Let's get going" suigetsu concluded. Juugo was still not happy with himself for letting the eight tails go but nodded.

"They are straight ahead" Karin told them.

They kept going until Karin shrieked again. "They are right there" pointing to the cave where sasuke and sakura are.

In the cave –

Sasuke awoke to an unpleasant shriek. He knew instantly that it belonged to Karin. Then he remembered sakura and glanced down at her to see if she awoke as well. Of course not, she was unconscious not sleeping. Sasuke was relieved to see that the rain had stopped and for once that his teammates had found him. He could then take sakura for medication. Just then "Sasuke-kunnn, are you ok?" Karin voice rang echoing the cave. He turned to see her already making her way to him and to cling onto him.

"Yo, glad to see you alive" suigetsu greeted him.

Sasuke looked over to juugo sulking in the corner and raise a brow.

"Oh…yea about that, we kind of lost the jinchiruki" suigetsu answered for juugo. Sasuke wasn't surprised to hear that, even though he had kind of forgotten about it. After all, they were all nearly out of chakra when the ninjas attacked. "Hn".

"See, I told you sasuke won't be that mad" suigetsu told juugo trying to cheer him up, otherwise it wouldn't be good for him to lose control.

Karin noticed sakura unconscious so she asked "what's wrong with her?" still angry that sakura was with sasuke instead of her.

Sasuke got up and said "we are heading back to Akatsuki"

"What about that we lost the tail beast?" suigetsu asked.

"We failed the mission" sasuke replied simply, he could care less about it. "We need kabuto to do check up on sakura" he continued destroying Karin's hope of forgetting her behind. With that he swiftly picked up sakura and put her on his back. Her temperature was high warm on his back. Her hands were limply around his neck. "Let's go"

Karin was fuming. Suigetsu glanced at sakura for awhile worried then followed. Juugo did the same worry as well.

Well that's the end of chapter 6. It had the most sasusaku moments so far. Hope you enjoyed. Plz review, it helps a lot.
