Sasuke

"Do I really want-…how far have I walked? Smoke?" Sasuke questioned as his nose picked up the smell

He removed his gaze from the ground and witnessed the smoke bellowing from over the tree tops. Letting instinct take over he ran to find the source of it.

Okay well last chappie was not that short! Longer than the others! Anyway this maybe the last chappie… it might be short, but it maybe long too. .

I won't let you

When he reached the house, there was smoke pouring from the front windows and the front door, which was wide open.

He stood looking at the sight for a few seconds then he slowly began to walk closer too it. Each step he took the heat scolded his face more. His daze was unbreakable as if he was watching his life burn in front of him.

He continued walking till he was feet away from the house. The flame was close enough for him to touch, yet he hardly felt the heat.

"What brings you here little brother?" A teasing voice asked from a near tree.

Sasuke's head turned and stared at Itachi, who was leaning against a tree skinning an apple.

"Is this your house?" he asked averting some of his attention back to the flaming house.

"Yep, well at least it was." Itachi chuckled.

"Wait, where is Sakura and Atomi?" Sasuke questioned noticing their presence was missing.

"In the house." Itachi said giving a quick look to his brother.

Sakura

Each second it was getting harder to breath for Sakura. The flames were right outside the door, snaring at the entrance.

The iron on her chains was warming fast and began to burn her skin. She tried to ignore the pain and focus on the good things that had happened in her life. Meeting and falling in love with Sasuke-kun, team seven going on missions together, teasing her friends, but the one that stuck out the most to her was when Sasuke kissed her. The night she had thought he had died…

'No can't think like that, Sasuke is going to find the girl of his dreams and marry her' Sakura scolded herself. 'As long as he is happy'

Her coughing fits grew worse with every minute.

She closed her eyes and waited for death to drop on her, but they soon snapped open when she heard crashing coming from the kitchen.

'The fire blew out the window.' She thought and rested her eyes again.

-Sasuke and Itachi-

"You mean?" Sasuke eyes blackened.

"Yeah, I have no more use for her. The only reason I kept her was too use against you." Itachi mocked taking a bite out of his apple.

"You're a monster. You don't have a heart." Sasuke tuned in with reality.

"Well I guess it runs in the family, because she tried to tell you that she still loved you, but you wouldn't listen. Too consumed with hatred I guess." Itachi said pushing off the tree trunk. "Besides you said you would rather have her dead then be married to me. So be thankful I'm getting rid of her."

"I'm not letting her go!" Sasuke threw a rock into the kitchen widow and smashed it; then jumped through it and into the flames.

"Fine with me, that way you both die" Itachi said walking away from the inferno.

-Sasuke-

"Sakura, Where are you?" Sasuke exclaimed running through the flames.

But what he heard was the last thing he expected, a baby's cry in the room next to him.

He shoved open the door and saw half the room on fire and a small bed holding the little girl. He fought with his mind, weather to save her or not. Finally he decided that she was Sakura's baby and if they made they out alive Sakura would want to have her. He darted across the room and scooped the baby into his arms. Now all he had to do was find Sakura. He ran out of the room and back into the hall. The heat and smoke blasted into his eyes. He secured Atomi into his shirt and looked for any other rooms.

He saw the hall roof starting to collapse. He inhaled a deep breath and ran as fast as he could down the hall. Just as he made it out the roof fell. He looked at the staircase that lay in front of him. One of the walls was on burning. He ducked from the fire and stumbled into a hidden room.

He looked around trying to make out any figure and his eyes stumbled across a fuzzy figure.

"Sakura!" He yelled running through a small fire that had fallen to the floor.

Sakura's eyes slowly pulled open as she lifted her head.

"Sasuke-kun" She smiled weakly.

Sasuke dropped in front of her and hugged her tightly. He carefully sat Atomi down in front of her and picked at her chains until they snapped; making her weak body fell into his arms.

"Sakura I'm here" He said picking Atomi up again.

"It's a dream…I'm in heaven with you and Atomi." She buried her face into his shirt.

"It's not a dream, Sakura. I'm here and so is Atomi." Sasuke said hugging her tightly.

"Why did you come back? I thought you would rather have me de-" she was cut off by Sasuke's lips making contact with her's.

"I didn't mean it" He said and placed Atomi in Sakura's arms.

"I love you Sasuke-kun and you too Atomi, mommy's little angel." Sakura said as part of the walls caved in.

"I love you too Sakura and Atomi." Sasuke whispered hugging both tightly.

Atomi was clinging to both Sakura and Sasuke's shirts as if she was saying "I love you too mommy and daddy."

"I never meant to say any of those things." Sasuke pleaded.

"I know I'm glad I got too see you one last time though. I don't want you too die." Sakura sobbed into his shirt.

"I told you before, with out you I have no reason to live." He said petting her soft pink locks. "I don't want to live if it means losing you. I don't regret the time that we have spent together, in fact, I cherish each moment of them."

"I love you so much!" Sakura clung to his shirt for dear life.

"I love you too, always and forever" Sasuke held her close against his chest.

The next morning the first person to stumble across the ruins was Naruto.

Tears filled his eyes when he saw both Sasuke and Sakura holding hands with Atomi between them. The entire house was t…..burned into ashes expect for half of the room they were in. Their faces had sot on them, but they looked as if they were smiling. He fell down next to them and punched the ground, while tears fell from his eyes.

"Sakura-chan…Sasuke?" He barely could form the words.

His attention was stole from them when he saw something move.

"Atomi?" He leaned over and lifted up the weak baby girl.

She survived. He cradled the baby in his arms and petted her hair.

"Shh" he tried to calm her when she started to cry. "Its' okay"

But it wasn't he couldn't stop looking at his teammates lying on the ground.

"After all they went through… they went out with out a fight, but they went together." He said cleaning Atomi's face and wiping the tears from his.

"I'll take good care of Atomi for you guys, okay? Just don't forget about all of us down here." He said hurrying back to the village.

He told the only people he thought should know at the time: Tunusade(sorry again), and Kakashi.

They all went and properly cleaned the area and retrieved the bodies.

They buried the two next to each other under a cherry blossom tree. That way they would always be near each other.

"Naruto?" Kakashi asked as they were leaving.

"Yeah?" Naruto replied.

"Are you going to keep Atomi?" he questioned.

"Yep, I'm going to raise her the way Sakura-chan and Sasuke would have." Naruto said bringing his expression to one of a smile.

"If you're sure about this I won't stop you." With that Kakashi left.

"I'm sure" Naruto said hurrying home. " Watch over us okay guys?"

"Umm uncle Naruto?" A five year old Atomi asked.

"Yes, Atomi?" Naruto answered smiling.

"What happened to mommy and daddy?" She asked clasping his hand.

Naruto was silent for a second then looked down at the little girl next to him.

"All you need to know is that they loved you very much." Naruto beamed a reassuring smile to her.

'Today would be five years that they have been gone.' Naruto thought to himself.

"Okay I hope they know I love them too!" She beamed skipping along side him.

"I'm sure they do and you know what? They are watching over you and me right now." Naruto said as they reached the cherry blossom tree.

"Really?" she questioned.

There were to tombstones that sat next to each other. Instantly Atomi broke from Naruto's hold and ran to them.

"Mommy, Daddy I love you and miss you a bunch so keep me safe." She hugged each of the tombstones tightly.

"Here Atomi put these on them" Naruto handed her two bundles of flowers.

"Okay" She carefully laid them onto the grass and kissed each before they left.

That late September night five years ago, true love beat all odds. No matter how far apart they were…they found each other and died in each others arms. Never lose sight of love, never let anyone take it from you, because it's all you'll need in the end.
