(An- yay, lol...next chapter...i hope you like)

"what?" Sasuke turned around to look at Sakura, but still she laid there lifeless "What do you mean?"

"Some times appearances can deceive us" Itachi smirked

"(sigh) your not making sense Itachi" Sasuke brought his hand up to his head

"I am making sense little brother.. I promised myself I wasn't going to let anyone you love die again"

"well you did...Sakura is DEAD" Sasuke started to raise his voice

"calm down little brother"

"WHY? THE ONLY GIRL I HAVE EVER LOVED IS DEAD"

"(sigh) wow.. You really are stupid" Itachi sighed heavily

"yes I am stupid... I let her die"

"er.." Itachi rolled his eyes "you are dense, are you not hearing a word that is coming out of my mouth?"

"I can hear you just fine"

"I don't think so... Sasuke, she's not dead... im trying to tell you this" Itachi stared at his brother

"w..w..what do you mean?" Sasuke had a shocked look on

"look close Sasuke... use your head, don't let anger cloud your thoughts..." Itachi turned and started to leave

"wait.." Sasuke grabbed his arm

"hn?"

"She...really..is alive...isnt she?...your arnt just playing with me?"

"Haha" Itachi smiled "I don't know, you just going to have to find out for yourself"

"Itachi"

"mmm?"Itachi was kinda getting annoyed he wanted to leave, he had other things to attend too

"Thanks"

"awe is Sasuke getting soft on me?" Itachi mocked

"Hell no" Sasuke glared at him "just you wait... ill beat you one of these days" with that Sasuke took off towards Sakura

Itachi watched his brother walk away (thinking to self,- I look forward to it little brother... this time don't make it your top priority, you have more important things...like her..) Itachi disappeared.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sasuke walked back to Sakura he still didn't believe that she was alive, he saw her, saw the blood, felt her cold body. Then he heard it...

"Sasuke"

the voice he longed to hear, he got up and started to look around. Sasuke couldn't see anything right away but when he looked back down at her body, it wasn't there anymore.

"Sasuke"

"Sakura?"

Where her body use to lay was a pile of mud. Then something came out from the other side of the tree.

"Sakura" Sasuke was dumbfounded he didn't understand what happened, and how his brother knew."Sakura... your alive?" Sasuke ran up to her and was just about to hug her when...

WHACK

"What the hell was that for?" Sasuke rubbed his sore cheek

" I cant believe you didn't save me...arg" Sakura winked at him and stuck out her tongue

"hmpf" Sasuke looked away "and all this time I was worried that you were dead"

"awe, Sasuke- kun wuv's me" Sakura chirped

"WHAT? ...I..I...I didn't say that" Sasuke was blushing

"hehe"

"what's so funny?"

"Your face is going pink Sasuke-kun" Sakura giggled

"n.no its not"

"Sasuke-kun" Sakura's voice went soft

"hn?"

"Were you worried about me?" Sakura asked it barley above a whisper while looking at the ground

"(sigh)" Sasuke grabbed Sakura by the shoulders and brought her face up so he could look her in the eyes."do you even need to ask?"

"W..w.well.. I..um...I just...uh..im sommrthr"

Sakura was stopped mid sentence because Sasuke brought his lips up to hers.

"Sakura... if you would have died...(sigh)..I don't know what I would have done"

"Sasuke-kun?"

"You mean a lot to me" Sasuke hugged Sakura tightly

"thanks Sasuke-kun" Sakura hugged him back

"for what?"

"For everything" Sakura nuzzled his chest

Sasuke stepped back a little so he could get a better view of her face

"..how... did... you survive.. Anyways?"

WHACK

"WHAT THE HELL?" Sasuke yelled now rubbing his very red cheek

"you sound disappointed"

"IM NOT.. Im just wondering cause I saw you were DEAD"

"ITACHI SAVED ME"

"what...?" Sasuke was shocked

"yeah.. At the last moment Sasuke-kun... he replaced me with mud... "

"then why didn't you come out after he was dead?"

"I was...unconscious"Sakura looked at the tree

"oh.. Well yo.."

WHACK

"WHAT THE HELL WOMAN, WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" Sasuke's cheek was almost numb

"hehe, I don't know" Sakura smiled at him "its funny watching you"

"Hmpf" Sasuke looked away

"hehe, awe" Sakura leaded up and kissed Sasuke on the cheek. "I love you Sasuke-kun"

"I love you too Sakura" Sasuke kissed Sakura on the lips.

...2 hours later...

Sasuke and Sakura were lying in the forest on a blanket staring at the sky.

"Sasuke-kun?" Sakura sat up a little, she was laying on his chest.

"Hn?"

"What's going to happen now?"

"What do you mean?"

"Im mean" Sakura looked at her finger nails.. " I mean... like.. Are you going to kill your brother?"

"Naw" Sasuke was staring at the stars

"so you have finall given up?" Sakura smiled

"no, of course not"

"oh.." Sakura looked back at her nails

"heh." Sasuke smirked

"what?"

"Im not planning on killing him...I owe him one"

"so..what are you planning?"

"Well I wont kill him... but that doesn't mean I can't kick his ass" Sasuke smirked

"hehe, I guess so Sasuke" Sakura leaned up and kissed Sasuke on the cheek "where do we go from here Sasuke-kun?"

"Well.. Im still going to train almost every day"

"oh.." Sakura said quietly

"but..."

"But?"

"But it wouldn't hurt to have a family to come home too" Sasuke put his arm around Sakura

"oh.."

"Yes.. But I want a wife who is beautiful"

"..."

"And she has to be strong"

".." Sakura was getting a little uncomfortable is Sasuke's arms so she pushed them off of her

"hn?" Sasuke looked at her confused "what's wrong?"

"Er nothing" Sakura lied "but im very happy to whoever this girl may be"

"heh. As am I" Sasuke rolled over so he was laying on his side facing Sakura. Sasuke grabbed Sakura and pulled her down beside him, she was on her back looking up at him confused.

"What is its Sasuke?" Sakura asked

"Sasuke?... when did you start to call me Sasuke?" Sasuke was stroking her arm

"I just think its fair for your new wife... I don't think I should be calling you Sasuke-kun anymore"

"er.." Sasuke raised an eyebrow "Sakura..?"

"What?"

"The person I want to marry...is you"

"WHAT?" Sakura yelled with joy as she jumped Sasuke was almost strangling him.

"Sakura" Sasuke choked

"Im so happy" Sakura said as she squeezed him harder

"Sakura.. If you don't let me have some air" Sasuke tried to inhale some "then I wont be around to marry"

"oh" Sakura's face went pink "sorry"

"heh."

"Im so happy Sasuke-kun... yay, I cant wait to start planning the wedding"

"oh yeah...I forgot about that part"

"what?"

"Weddings are so much trouble"

"k.. now your starting to sound like Shikamaru" Sakura giggled

"take that back" Sasuke grabbed Sakura and started to tickle her

"haha..okay...haha...truce...haha...stooooop...you...hahaha win" Sakura was trying to crawl away from him.

"That's right!" Sasuke smirked

"hehe" Sakura looked up at Sasuke and ran her fingers through his hair

"Sakura" Sasuke reached into his back pocket and brought out a small green velvet box

"(gasp)" Sakura's face went hot pink

Sasuke stood up with Sakura, then he got down on one knee "will you marry me"

"SASUKE-KUN..OF CORSE I WILL" Sakura pounced on top of Sasuke

"AHH, Sakura..remember.. I need air to breath"

"im sorry but im just so happy Sasuke-kun...all my dreams are finally coming true" Sakura chirped while looking at the silver band that was now on her finger "its so pretty Sasuke-kun ...thank you"

Sasuke laid down and Sakura laid beside him trying to cuddle as close as possible

"im cold Sasuke-kun" Sakura shivered

"hn" Sasuke brought her closer.

Sakura was now lying on top of him with her head resting on his chest, and that's how they fell asleep under the stars together, preparing to go back to Kohona in the morning. But before Sakura drifted off to sleep one thought crossed her mind

("how did Sasuke get that ring?... was he holding on to it all this time?")
