I am writing this because geishaninja.

If you liked the other ending thankyou, if not i'm sorry but this is another one for all those who didn't.

It is NOT the end of the story, it's just the end of the chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

Chapter 11 other ending.

(This ending takes place right after he killed Itachi.)

Sasuke stumbled back to the crowd, but his vision was not clear. Pain soared like open wings through his body, and he had never experienced something that could cause him so much physical pain like his Chidori.

Everyone ran over too him, including Pain who had woken up. He collapsed to the ground, and despite the hard surface he liked the rest. Sakura pushed through the crowd tears streaming down her face. She reached him, and he smiled weakly up at her. He didn't have much life left in him, and he wasn't sure how much longer he could hold on.

Sakura checked his pulse, she began to become frantic realizing that they were so few and far between. She began to push chakra into him, pushing with all her force. The green mist around her fingers was weak though, she didn't have enough.

She felt someone kiss the top of her head, and she knew the familiar chakra of Gaara. He placed his hand on her shoulder giving all he had left. Both Naruto and Hinata holding hands placed there hands on her other shoulder. Kakashi placed his hand on her head, and team gai all placed there hands around her back. Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji all placed there hands on her arms. She felt energy surge through her, and by the astonished look of Sasuke's face she knew he felt life in him.

Sakura smiled sadly as she tried harder and harder to bring life to him, it was impossible. It wasn't enough. She felt an electric shock of chakra looking up too see Konan and pain also holding her shoulder.

A tear fell out of Sakura's eye, realizing that he was going to live. Sasuke let out a small grunt as he felt the current run through him. They all took there hands away form Sakura, though Gaara's hand stayed.

Sakura began to check his pulse again, it wasn't strong. But he was going to make it.

Sasuke smiled to himself, he may not have love anymore, he looked up at Sakura- but he would have a new life now. One where he wouldn't be cold. In Konoha. Home. He opened his mouth to speak, "I...i..." It was too hard.

Sasuke shook his head and tried again, trying to tell Sakura what he needed to say. The words wouldn't come out.

Gaara kissed her head again...maybe to reassure her, or maybe to reassure himself that everything would be ok. It was like once in his life everything would be alright. Sakura looked at Sasuke, and shook her head. He needed rest, and whatever he had to say he could say in the morning. Because this time he wasn't going anywhere.

Sakura held on too Gaara tighter, silently thanking him for everything she had. He understood and returned the embrace.

Sasuke closed his eyes, taking Sakura's advice on rest. Before he slept though he needed to say one thing, "Sakura... Thankyou..." It came out in a mere whisper.

Another tear fell down Sakura's cheek, that was what he had said when he left the last time. Sakura smiled at him, because maybe it was just his secret way of telling her that he wasn't planning on going anywhere.

Gaara sat down beside Sakura, thinking about something again and again, "Sakura... this has got me thinking. Thinking about loosing you, and I realize how much it would mean to me. " He looked at her seriously, "D-don't ever go..."

Sakura smiled at his shyness, and leant her head into his chest, "I don't plan too."

Sasuke slept surrounded by his friends, Sakura slept in the chest of her true love. Naruto held Hinata stroking her hair. Ino and Shikamaru stood hugging in a corner. Tobi stood dancing in a little corner. Neji was staring at Tenten intently just stroking her hand. Konan sat in Pain's lap kissing him pasionatly, and Kakashi and Gai were in a wholesome battle of 'rock, paper, scissors' . The whole world was at peace, maybe only for a little while, but that little while was perfect.

That is the second ending for chapter eleven.

Remember it is not the end of the story, only the chapter!

So, tell me what you think, if you preferred this ending or the other.

Either way, I hope you enjoyed it.
