Her hands curl into his chest, fingernails digging down, down, down until seals burn through his skin.

He screams, arching into her touch.

She's sobbing, her mouth twisted in a grimace, a pained noise escaping her lips.

"Sorry," She chants, "Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry—"

For a minute, he wants to go to her, to console, maybe, like he would have done a century or so ago—

"What the fuck did you do to me?" He screams instead.

"Forgive me, Sasuke-kun." Sakura smiles, crazed, her eyes too wide, her skin speckled with blood. Tears are still inching down her cheeks. She's mad, she's mad, he thinks, Madara broke her. "Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me—"

And then—somethings shifts.

A click, a snap, a snick.

He screams—

And then he's gone, the last thing he sees is the flash of her wide, green eyes the keen ghost of her love billowing in her face.


Tell me what you think :) Enjoy :)
