notes: I'm so sorry, you guys! I can't believe I haven't updated this in, like, over a month! I'm so sorry! I was busy planning out things and doing this story and that, and it just got so busy! I'm so sorry! I tried to make this chapter a bit longer, but... It just didn't flow with the story, and so I had to redo this so many times. I didn't even have the time to write anything out on my Blackberry. I'm so sorry!

Top Girl
All that night, Sasuke got no sleep—well, actually, Sasuke never really got that much sleep anyway, what with Naruto snoring all the time, but it wasn't because of Naruto's nasal problem this time. No, this time, Sasuke got not sleep—no sleep at all, as he thought about Naruto's words. It was . . . mind-boggling.
"Do you know how hurt she was when you left? You completely broke her, Sasuke! She wouldn't talk to any of us, she wouldn't even come out of her room! It took us forever to get her back to normal! But your leaving still haunts her to this very day!"
The Dead-Last didn't need to remind him about his departure. He knew very well how much he had hurt the girl when he left. In fact, when he had saw her tears that night, when she had told him that she loved him, he had been almost compelled to stay. And he would have too, if it hadn't been to keep her safe. Yes, he had wanted to stay. He had wanted to stay. And if he had then maybe…
"I don't know him. Who are you?"
Maybe she wouldn't have forgotten about him. Maybe she'd still would have remembered. And maybe . . . just maybe, she'd still be in his arms… She still would have loved him, and maybe . . . maybe they could have been something.
"I swear, bastard, if you hurt her again, I'll beat you black and blue! I mean, do you have any idea how happy she was when you finally came back?"
The Dead-Last didn't know anything. Sasuke had learned his lesson. He'd never hurt Sakura ever again. That one time was enough. He knew how extreme the consequences would be now.
She didn't remember him, and that in itself was the worst possible thing to have happened to him.
