The fight continued for some time, finally Sakura disabled Naruto and stared at him as he lay unconscious on the ground, maybe he would've been a match for her, if he had broken a few rules in training, but he had followed all the rules and he didn't learn anything that would make him able to defeat her.
So she sat on a log and watched the Uchiha fight, Itachi was getting tired she could tell and soon Sasuke would kill him. She was tired of being in this form, she didn't like to be in it longer than she had to but if she withdrew it now she wouldn't be able to defeat Sasuke.
After a few minutes of sitting and waiting, Sasuke finally made the final blow. Itachi stood upright for a few moments, Sasuke was breathing hard, his sword was plunged through Itachi's heart and blood dripped down from it.
He pulled out his sword and Itachi's dead body fell over. He collapsed onto his knees his eyes seemed vacant as he continued to breathe heavily.
She smirks evilly and walks up to him ready to kill him. Too bad it wouldn't be any entertainment now that he was too tired to do anything about it. As she gets closer she realizes that he's not going to move from that position, he seems in shock that he finally killed his brother and he did it without the Mangeko Sharingan.
She is only a few steps away now and suddenly Sasuke looks up. He stares at her for a moment and she stops in her tracks, not quite sure what he is doing and she stares into his eyes. Something, like a barrier, breaks from them and tears pour out of his eyes.
Her heart stops and something inside her tries to come out, love, and affection, but she squashes it down, no she wouldn't do that now. She lifts him up by his shirt and holds him at eye level. He is looking at her with sad forboding eyes, but with a look, a look that she had wanted him to look at her with for a long time.
Something has changed in him, she doesn't understand what it is but something has changed. He's not the same, he's not the same as he was. This Sasuke is the Sasuke she saw trying to come out when they had once been on a team together.
The Sasuke that had controlled his power in the forest during the Chunin exam, when he realized that she wanted him to stop.
The Sasuke that had caught her when she fell after Gaara's fight with Naruto, when he lay her head down as gently as possible when she was barely conscious.
The Sasuke that had thanked her before he left, before he left forever.
That was the Sasuke that she always wanted. Not the brute killer that wanted nothing more than to kill his brother.
But maybe that had changed now that his brother was dead, she felt that thing inside her continuously try to push up out of her. He was different, didn't that mean anything.
Those words he said to her, that hadn't been him, this was him, the man she was holding now, that was him, the man she was about to kill.
He saw her eyes soften for just a moment and it looked like she might let him down but then the anger boiled up again, it wasn't ready to give up yet, the hatred she felt was blocking all things and it wouldn't rest until he was dead. Her brow furrowed and she looked at him angrily ready to kill him, the feeling she had before was gone.
AN: I know its been an extremely long time since I posted anything, so sorry, I really don't like this story all that much so I'm trying to change a few things in the end to make it better but I hope you enjoy this chapter even though its short. There are one or two chapters left, I'm not sure if I want to split the next one into two but I think I'll make it just one so next chapter will probably be the last.
