Disclaimer: If I owned Naruto, Karin would be dead already.

Sasuke cursed at himself as he walked alone.

"You're so stupid!" he cried, pulling at his hair. "Why didn't you just tell her the truth?"

"Because you didn't want to hurt the ugly bitch, Sasuke!" an annoying voice came from behind.

Sasuke turned around and before he could clearly see the redhead she jumped into his arms, pushing her lips on his as she wrapped her (slutty) legs around Sasuke's waist, making him take a few steps back.

He 'mmph'ed as he tried to pull the rabid fan girl off of him. "Ooh… Sasuke…" she moaned, rubbing herself on him, and he finally got her off.

"Karin!" he yelled. "I already told you to leave me alone!"

Karin smiled flirtatiously.

"Oh come on, Sasuke… Forget about Bimbo Brow and come and have sex with me…!" Karin purred, using her new nickname for Sakura.

Sasuke almost vomited as he looked at Karin's putrid face.

"I will never forget Sakura."

"Well, you better, Sasuke! 'Cause she's gone now!"

"What do you mean, Karin?"

"Oh, Sasuke! I love how you say my name! It's so sexy-"

"Karin!"

"Why don't you go check the lake?" Karin smirked with an evil look in her eyes, and Sasuke bolted away to go save his beautiful cherry blossom.

He got to the lake Karin was talking about, and he could see Sakura's hair all over the ground, and scissors caught in moss around a couple of rocks.

But then he saw her.

At the bottom.

Floating, almost gliding, almost against the ground.

She looked so peaceful…

Without even thinking, he dove in and grabbed her around her waist.

I got you, Sakura… he thought.

(A/N: I was gonna end it there, but I thought it'd be too short... And I thought it'd be nice to continue and not keep anyone waiting...)

What's that light…? It's so… beautiful…

"Sakura? Sakura!"

But not as beautiful… as that voice…

"Sakura!"

That voice…

"Sakura, please! Wake up!"

I choose that voice…

Sakura's eyelids fluttered open slowly, and she could see tears in the Uchiha's eyes.

And one of them rolled down his cheek.

The great Sasuke Uchiha had cried.

"Sa-Sasuke…" she stuttered, raising her frail hand up to touch his face. "Sa-Sakura!" Sasuke cried, pulling her into a tight embrace.

"I thought I lost you…" Sasuke muttered into her hair.

"Would you really care? You have Karin…" Sakura whispered, trying not to cry. Sasuke pulled away from the emerald eyed girl to look at her.

"Sakura. I don't care about Karin. What I did with her was a mistake. I'd never do anything to hurt you. I'm sorry I lied."

Sakura saw another tear travel down the Uchiha's face.

She flung her arms around his neck.

I love you, Sasuke… Sakura thought.

I love you, Sakura… Sasuke thought also.

And they sat there, hugging each other for awhile. Neither of them caring how long.

"BAKA!" cried a very angry blonde girl. "You ate my ramen!"

Naruto shrugged, gulping down the rest of Ino's ramen that was in his mouth. "You snooze you lose. Maybe if you ate it instead of staring at Shikamaru, you would have noticed sooner."

She hit him over the head. "IDIOT!"

Naruto laughed again. "Na-Naruto… m-maybe you shouldn't have taken I-Ino's r-ramen… Th-that is a-a little rude…" Hinata stuttered, and Naruto looked over at his girlfriend.

"Ah, Hinata. You're so sweet."

Hinata's entire face turned red at his statement, and she almost fell over.

"Okay, lover boy, stop making your girlfriend blush and eat your own ramen so we can get out of here," Shikamaru said lazily, putting an arm around Ino's waist.

"Hey, guys! Did you hear?" Kiba asked as he ran past them. "What?" Naruto asked, face full of ramen.

"Sakura's in the hospital!"

Naruto spat out his ramen.

"WHAT?"

"Yeah! Karin did something to her or something!" Kiba explained, and then continued to run with Akamaru.

"THAT REDHEADED SLUT!" Ino screamed, grabbing Shikamaru's hand and running out of Ichiraku's.

"Ino! Wait up!" Naruto cried, grabbing Hinata's hand and running after her.

"I'LL KILL THAT FOUR EYED, REDHEADED BITCH!" Ino screeched in Sakura's hospital room. "HOW COULD SHE DO THAT TO YOU? DROWNING YOU, AND CUTTING YOUR HAIR YOU WORKED SO HARD ON!"

"Ino, be quiet!" Sasuke hissed. "Your voice is so high!"

Ino only went down about an octave.

"You spent forever growing your hair out! And not only that, she drowned you! Drowned you!"

"We know what she did, Ino!" Sasuke snapped at her, annoyed. "Why are you even here, Sasuke? Haven't you hurt her enough?"

"Ino, he explained… everything's okay…"

Ino still didn't look happy.

"You're hair's s-so short, Sakura…" Hinata commented, taking a strand of Sakura's now shoulder length hair in her hand.

"I know… It's going to take some getting used to…" Sakura smiled weakly, feeling her own hair.

JEEZ! I KEEP THINKING I'M BALD! Inner Sakura cried.

"I'm sorry, but there can only be one visitor at a time," a nurse said with a fake smile. "But you can stay…" she said seductively to Sasuke, winking at him.

Sakura gripped the sheets tightly.

"Hey, baby… maybe you can come over to my house later?" she purred over at him, and Sakura almost tore the sheets into shreds.

I'LL KILL HER! Inner Sakura cried again.

"Sorry, I'm taken…" he told her, taking Sakura's hand. The nurse glared in her direction. "So what? Haven't you ever wanted to have some fun? You definitely can't get any from her…" She jerked a thumb in Sakura's direction.

The nurse bent over so Sasuke could see her breasts that almost fell out of her too revealing shirt.

Sasuke wasn't impressed.

"Sorry. Like I said, I'm taken."

"Humph! Fine. But if you ever want a good time, you can find me here…" she winked and walked out.

"Can I go talk to someone and get them to fire her?" Naruto asked, still looking in the direction she left.

"I'll go with you…" Ino growled, grabbing Naruto's wrist and dragging him out.

"I-I guess I'll go a-and follow them…" Hinata said, walking out.

Shikamaru just looked over at Sakura. "Hope you feel better…" he said simply, and walked out with his hands in his pockets.

"I can see you're jealous…" Sasuke smirked at her.

"Of course I'm jealous! That slutty nurse just hit on you!" Sakura pouted, crossing her arms over her chest, looking in the other direction.

"Don't worry…" Sasuke muttered in her ear. "I only want you…"

And they started kissing until they heard a knock on the door.

Sakura pulled away. "Come in!"

But in walked the one person they didn't want to see.

It's pretty obvious who this person is... Unless I switched it up ;P
