With Sakura, Hinata, Ino, Tenten, and Itachi

The group stood before the tree. Hinata was giving a few words of advice before they started. "Okay, Sakura. We're going to do this. But if it doesn't work, and Sasuke doesn't come back you'll have to accept it."

I nodded wanting to get this over with. This time Tenten spoke. "But, if you find him, and he doesn't want to come back... You can't use your 'charms' on him." This time I tilted my head, not quite understanding what she meant.

Ino spoke. "You're different Sakura. Your not the same Sakura Sasuke saw when he was alive." Still, I didn't get it. But then she pointed at me. I looked myself up and down. Then I looked back up at them, and smiled.

"I won't. Seriously, you think I would result to that?'" The three looked at eachother and nodded. "Yes." I rolled my eyes. "you guys have no faith in me." They just smiled, Ino stepped forward handing me the ribbon. I grabbed it.

Ino slapped her forehead. "No, you're holding it wrong." She said adjusting the pink-haired girl's hands. I got impatient and threw the ribbon onto the ground. "Screw this... Wouldn't it be easier if, I don't know. If I could just go to the death realm, get Sasuke's ghost back her and let him show me how to do it?"

Hinata twisted her lips into a wicked grin. "My god, didn't think of that. I'm not sure if it's possible though. There's always a risk..." She thought for a moment. "Well I guess you could Sakura... Sakura? Don't tell me..."

Hinata looked at her two remaining friends. Obviously, they had no idea either. One minute their pink-haired friend was there and then the next... Ino turned to Hinata. "So, what are the risks?"

Hinata sighed. "There's two possibilities. One, is that we actually get Sasuke back. Unscarred and everything. Two, we lose Sakura." Tenten gasped. Hinata shook her hands. "Don't worry! There's a 50 chance on both..."

That didn't help.

With Sakura

At first everything was blinding, and everything was moving past me. It's like I've been sucked into a tornado or something. Alot like Sasuke had in the library...

I opened my eyes. Everything was pitched white. That's strange... I thought it was black but... I shook my head, I'll worry about that later. First, I have to find Sasuke. I started to walk down the halls, daring not to shout out his name. Which is kind of sad, because if I don't I might not find him, if I do I might attract some other ghost and--

'Ooof'. I looked up at what (or who) I crashed into. I sighed. "Look, if you're here to shout at me, fine. But you'll just have to wait. I'm looking for my friend--" The guardsmen interrupted her.

Deja vu... "What is it with these people today..." He started to banter a bit to himself, then looked back down at me. "It's Haruno Sakura, right?" Then I realized this wasn't the same gaurd. He's too nice.

I nodded. "And who are you looking for?" I was suprised on how polite he was being about all this, there must be a catch. "My friend, Uchiha Sasuke." He nodded and pointed towards two people not too far off from here.

I had to squint my eyes to make out who they were. I gasped. "Sasuke-kun..." The guard beside me smiled a bit at the -kun. I said a quick thanks and ran towards them.

The guard I left behind smiled to himself. ...So what they said was true... That she would go to the ends of the earth to bring him back... Putting her to the test of retrieving him... Won't be easy.

It's funny how famous Sakura got, after just a month. The Lord of the Light, already knew her name (Sakura not knowing any of this). He decided to put her to the test. If there really was such thing as 'Forbidden Love' and if the side they (meaning the darkside, or as humans call it-- Hell) say is really true.

Sakura eventually reached them. Sasuke at first looked at her with the 'how the hell did you get here' face. The he frowned, understanding that she risked her life...

For Him.

But he didn't let that blind him. So instead of a passionate moment Sakura hoped for she just got a lot of.. Shouting?

The guard beside Sasuke left, now standing beside the one Sakura had spoke with earlier. It took Sakura a moment to catch her breath. And during then, Sasuke started. "What the hell, Sakura. No. You.. How... No... What... You can't be..."

Not exactly the words he wanted to say, but it was in the heat of the moment-- he hadn't planned this to happen. He thought he was just going to either Heaven or Hell. Not stay in-between.

Even though it is true, he deserves a second chance at life. Everyone does. But not everyone gets to. Sakura finally caught her breath. She looked up at Sasuke with tearful eyes. "I couldn't let you stay here could I?" Sasukw was still at a lost for words. He hates dealing with a crying Sakura.

He looked away. But then turned back when Sakura said in a quiet voice, "I know you told me not to risk my life going here. And you knew I wouldn't listen didn't you?" Sasuke nodded. He knew she wouldn't.

She stopped crying, but her voice was still shaking a bit. "I care so much about you Sasuke." Sasuke listened, even though those weren't the exact words he wanted to hear... She cleared her throat.

And said in a forcefull perky voice. "So are you coming back?" He jsut smiled, the Uchiha smiled. "Fine. But, do not. Risk your life again." sakura tilted her head. "And why not?"

""Because I lo--- care for you too." She smiled.

Up Above

The Lord of the Light was watching the scene unfold as if he were watching a movie. "They're oblivious, no?" The two guards they had spoke to earlier nodded. Apparently, the one Sakura talked to was named Angel. And the one Sasuke talked to was... Well Purify.

However, both guards happened to be men. That's just the downside in Heaven. Most guards who work there are named things like-- Shine, Sun, Moon, Star... And so on.

It just happened to be that Angel and Purify was his two favourites. He turned to look at the two, now noticing they were there. "Have you uncovered anything?" They shook their heads. Then Angel (the one dressed in blue) stepped forward.

"We've been wondering how she got here in the first place. The first time she wandered in here, she thought she was dreaming." Their Lord listened carefully. Then Purify cut in, "We've even noticed that she told someone of her secret." He pointed to the cloud (you know, the one you can look in and see exactly who wanted to see).

Right there, was Ino, Hinata, and Tenten waiting by the tree. Tenten looked up, as if senseing someone was watching them. But passed it off as just her imagination. The Lord looked at them. "She's quite the observant one..."

The two guards nodded. They continued to watch through the clouds. Hinata turned to Ino. "When do you think she'll be back?" Ino shrugged. Tenten spoke, "How long does she have until..."

The Lord smiled once he understood what they were talking about. Most humans don't know much about the realm. I'd say all don't even know the effects on a person who goes there that isnt dead yet.

But then he thought to himself, There's no need to worry... He looked back at Sasuke and Sakura.

With Sasuke and Sakura

They had started walking a bit. "Which way..." Sakura muttered. Sasuke sighed. "Don't tell me..." Sakura looked at him and smiled.

"Yup.We're lost."
