Super thanks to all of my wonderful reviewers. You guys are the reason I write. And to those of you who read and don't review…shame. Any ways, huge part of the plot here. Going to be a little death and a whole lot of Sak/Sas going on. Oh, and who enjoyed Karin getting killed? I did! It was only a matter of time folks. But to you Naruto lovers…I suggest reading no further. Any ways, here it is, chapter 12.

No More
{Sasuke}
He sat on his couch, ignoring the now crumpled up paper lying beside him. He intertwined his hands and they rested on his mouth as he brooded. He was going to have to hire some one to clean the blood on his stairs. Perhaps a grounds keeper as well…he had been thinking of cleaning the place up.
He shook his head and his frown deepened. He was being distracted from more important thoughts. Sasuke turned to the note, acknowledging it for the first time since he'd read it over an hour ago.
He grimaced and picked it up and slowly undid the damage he done to it, attempting to smooth out the wrinkles. He read it once more.
Sasuke Uchiha
We warned you.
Be ready for the consequences
Akatsuki
Sasuke scowled and crumpled up the paper once more. When he had found the note on Karin's body he had thought she was the consequence but the more he thought about it, the more it sounded like Karin was merely the messenger.
Sasuke stood at his window andgrimaced. If that was so…how would they punish him?
Suddenly an Anbu appeared before him.
"Captain, there has been a murder…"
The next day the paper revealed the night's horrific incident.
Hidden Leaf News
Top Story! SOON TO BE FITH HOKAGE FOUND MURDERED!
His fiancé is left heart broken.
Naruto Uzamake was found on his bed with a kunai in his chest by his no longer bride to be, Sakura Haruno. She attempted to perform medical healing but it was too late. Her neighbors found her attempting to transfer her life energy to him and had to be taken from the scene by force.
"We are doing everything possible to find the culprit and as soon as evidence is found, a team will be sent" stated Leaf official, Sasuke Uchiha, who was a team mate as well as a dear friend to Naruto.
Every one's favorite ninja and savior, known through out all the great ninja nations, will be buried in a week's time, due to investigations towards his death. He was going to be inaugurated as Fifth Hokage at the end of the year but now it seems it was only a sad dream. Please attend the international ceremony remembering this great ninja. How will we survive without our hyperactive ninja Naruto?
{Sasuke}
He threw the paper down in out rage. How could they do this?
Sasuke swiped at a stray tear and gritted his teeth in rage. Most of it was at the Akatsuki, but some was at himself. Why was he grieving? He had plotted killing him himself not three days ago!
Sasuke growled and pick up a small table and smashed it into the wall, splintering it. When he looked down at the mess he frowned and muttered "Woops…"
He sighed and began picking up the pieces but then settled to burning it instead. Suddenly, as he watched the wood crackle in the flames something odd struck him. He picked up the paper and reread a line of the article.
"Her neighbors found her attempting to transfer her life energy to him and had to be taken from the scene by force"
Sasuke frowned, confused. He had never heard of that before. He recalled Tsunade and Kakashi attempting to restrain Sakura as she attempted to run back to Naruto. She was screaming something…what was it?
"I can save him! I can save him! Take me, Dear God, take me! Let me save him! Please! Naruto-kun! NARUTO! "
Sasuke grimaced, partially wishing he hadn't remembered that. Sasuke sighed and got to thinking…how was Sakura? He was surprised Tsunade let her out of the hospital so quickly when her excuse for allowing herself to be poisoned was "I was building up an amuntiy"
Sasuke sat up and walked out the door. He would go see her for himself.
He left the manor and looked up at the moon. It was almost full…just a sliver remained unilluminated. He gulped as he grew closer and closer to Naruto's apartment, a knot growing in his stomach.
What if she doesn't want to see me? Sasuke thought meekly. Suddenly, he mentally slapped himself. What was he thinking? He was the play boy of the century and he was actually caring for a girl?
What was happening to him?
Sasuke shook his head and ascended the stairs. He quietly knocked but there was no response. He cleared his throat and knocked again, louder this time. This time he heard a voice, only it wasn't Sakura's. It was a male voice.
A primal sense of territorialism welled up inside him and made his chest puff up. Sasuke burst through the door, unnecessarily considering it was unlocked, to find Sakura curled up in Kakashi's lap, silently sobbing.
Sasuke stood there awkwardly, his heart still racing as he looked into Kakashi's eye as he looked up lazily as Sakura clutched his mesh shirt tightly, her face buried in his neck.
Sasuke had never seen his former sensei with out his vest on and he saw, to his horror, that he had a lithe body and sculpted abs.
He really hoped Sakura didn't notice.
Kakashi let go of Sakura's legs with one arm and supported her back with the other and held a finger to his lips, which Sasuke could not see through the mask. Sasuke gave a resentful, curt nod, and Kakashi looked back down at Sakura, who was now asleep.
He then carefully picked her up and put her down but her hands still clutched his shirt in a death grip. Kakashi then pried of her pale hands and Sakura gave a tiny moan but settled back into a sorrowful sleep. Sasuke starred at her, her pale body illuminate by the moon's light. It was almost painful looking at her beauty.
He was pulled from his explicit day dreams when Kakashi cleared his throat. Sasuke looked up and found he was nose to nose with Kakashi. Well, more like nose to chin since Kakashi had a few inches on him, which Sasuke did not like at all.
Both men then swiftly stepped outside and starred each other down.
"What are you doing here, Kakashi?" Sasuke asked harshly.
Kakashi raised his visible silver eyebrow and smirked.
"Well, I'm supporting my friend in her time of need, and came to her at her request, what you're doing here, I'm still not sure of"
Sasuke's upper lip twitched in a fraction of a snarl.
"I…I came here to check on her…as…well" Sasuke finished weakly.
They both knew he was probably the last person she wanted to see right now.
"Well how kind of you" Kakashi said with a smile, but Sasuke could practically taste the malice in his voice.
So he decided to go for a low blow.
Sasuke put on a smile himself, then pretended to be puzzled.
"Kakashi…aren't you a bit…old to be staying with a young girl alone? I mean, you're what, ten twelve, fifteen years older than her? I mean, I understand the physical attraction, but isn't it a little cruel to be leading a young girl on? I wouldn't think you would stoop so low Kakashi. Taking advantage of her while she's grieving? Amateur." Sasuke finished, shaking his head.
Kakashi flushed, with embarrassment or anger, Sasuke wasn't sure. Kakashi's fists balled up at his sides and he stood up straight, gaining even more length on Sasuke.
"Not that it's your business, Sasuke ', he spat "but Sakura asked for me to come to her. And another piece of information you should know is while you were married Sakura came to me when you refused to give her love, or when you were entertaining yourself with other women. And let's just say, I satisfied her every need, at her request. So if your argument is that I'm the one leading Sakura one, you're wrong" he finished, his voice strained.
Sasuke twitched, his temper flaring. Then he noticed the pain in Kakashi's voice when he said his last sentence. Did he not want to be just a back up? Well, Sasuke couldn't care less.
Sasuke sneered, his pearly white teeth showing.
"Well, Kakashi, notice, she always came running back to me. You are nothing more to her than a source of entertainment" Sasuke snarled out.
Kakashi stiffened, then he started trembling. Sasuke thought he was about to attack him when they both heard a meek voice.
"Kakashi…Kakashi…"
Sakura's weak call made both men freeze.
Kakashi looked down at Sasuke, something like a smile mocking him from underneath his mask, as he slipped back inside the house.
Sasuke remained on the step, absolutely livid. How dare he?
Sasuke looked at the door one last time and felt a pang of sorrow.
Sasuke slowly walked down the stairs and as he walked back to the manor, cold and alone he promised himself something.
He was going to win Sakura back and this time he was going to do it right.
{Sakura}
She awoke on Kakashi, his breathing alerting her he was still asleep. She ran her fingers through her pink hair and over her cheek, and she felt an imprint on her cheek of Kakashi's mesh shirt.
She slowly and gingerly sat up, careful not to wake him. She sighed sadly, her throat tightening up as she thought of Naruto.
Her one true, dear friend, gone forever. And for what? Why had had he been killed?
Sakura frowned. Sasuke was Anbu captain which meant all information involving the case was passed to him. He had to know something.
Sakura walked to her bathroom and stripped. She then took a quick shower and dressed in her normal attire, not bothering with ninja gear. As she was about to leave her room, she saw a thin stiletto knife Naruto had given to her.
She was seeing Sasuke…
Sakura picked up the knife and slipped it in to her thigh strap, and pulled her skirt down over it.
As she was about to walk out the door she heard a voice.
"Where are you going?"
Sakura whirled around to see Kakashi lounging on the couch, but as she looked into his face she could see something strange hidden there.
"I'm going to Sasuke to see what he knows about who killed Naruto" Sakura stated. She saw no reason to lie.
As she said Sasuke's name a strange look crossed her ex-sensei's face. Before Sakura could blink Kakashi was in front of her, pressing his chest to hers, pinning her to the door.
"Kakashi, what are you doing?" Sakura asked, getting annoyed.
He ran his hands across her cheek and leaned in close to her. Sakura's breaths became shallow. What was going on?
She really didn't want to hurt him, but she would.
Kakashi leaned in and his lips touched hers, the thin fabric of his mask the only thing between there skin touching.
Sakura put her palms flat to his chest and he groaned.
He must have gotten the wrong message.
Sakura pushed chakra into her arms and shoved, sending Kakashi flying back. She then stood, infuriated.
"Kakashi, you're my friend and I love you, but if you don't get your act together, next time, I'll be serious!" she threatened.
She then turned on her heel and walked out, leaving a groaning Kakashi in her midst.
Sakura hurried to Sasuke's, anticipation welling in her stomach.
As she entered the gates her breath hitched. Sakura ran up the steps and banged on the door. She then put her hands behind her back and tapped her foot.
After what seemed like infinity the door opened.
Sasuke looked at her and his eyes widened in surprise.
"Sasuke, tell me everything you know about who murdered Naruto!" Sakura pleaded, grabbing his hands.
He looked at me with a mixture of awe and confusion.
Sakura was losing patience.
"Sasuke, please!" she cried.
He looked flustered and he beckoned her in.
As Sakura walked in she gasped. There were paintings on the walls and the walls were no longer just grey and white. Sakura looked at Sasuke who was looking at her with a look she couldn't quite place. Sakura broke the trance first.
She looked at a corner that looked strangely empty.
"Wasn't there a table there?" she asked.
Sasuke made a face and looked away.
"Um, no" he said.
Sakura raised an eyebrow but said nothing. She then joined Sasuke at a table, which Sakura did not recognize.
After attempting to restrain herself, her curiosity got the best of her.
"Why all the…renovations?" she asked. She was going to say colors but thought better of it.
Sasuke looked dead at her.
"You" he said quietly.
Sakura's eyes widened.
"I don't…understand" she muttered, the old blush she used to get whenever they were together returning.
Sasuke stood and shoved the table aside, so there was nothing between them. Sakura's heart began to pound with adrenaline. Her hand slowly went down her thigh until she could feel the shape of her knife.
"Sakura, I love you! I…I love you so much it hurts!" Sasuke groaned, clutching his chest.
Sakura trembled with fear. He must be on something.
"Listen, I don't want any trouble, and I see you aren't well, so I'll just-"
"NO!" he screamed grabbing her arm when she tried to get up with strength she never knew he had and threw her onto the couch.
Sakura was terrified now, as Sasuke stood above her with a face of passion she never knew he possessed.
Her hand now trailed up her skirt until she could feel the hilt of her weapon. As she was about to draw it Sasuke threw himself on top of her, grabbing her arms.
"Take me seriously!" he roared.
Strange, Sakura thought, I can't smell any alcohol.
Sakura had learned that when ever in the clutches of a drunk or enraged man to always stay calm and listen to them.
So Sakura swallowed and calmed her nerves, steadying herself.
"Okay, I'm listing" Sakura said quietly.
That seemed to calm Sasuke down a bit. He closed his eyes and began speaking in a shaky voice.
"Sakura…I…I screwed up…big. I let you go. That was the biggest mistake I ever made Sakura" he said. He opened his eyes to see if Sakura was still listening.
Sakura didn't have to pretend to be interested now. She starred at Sasuke in silence, her heart pounding in her chest. She was surprised he couldn't hear it banging against her chest.
Seeing no protest, Sasuke continued.
"When you left me…it was like a reality check. The biggest slap in the face possible. I couldn't stop thinking about you! I realized…how disgustingly horrible I treated you. Sakura, you have always been there for me…and I don't know how I forgot that"
Sakura couldn't believe what she was hearing. It was what she had dreamed of all those years…but now? Did she really want to hear it?
"Sasuke…why? Why did it take me leaving you to realize how much I loved you?" Sakura whispered, anger entering her voice.
He looked down, ashamed.
"I…I don't know…" Sasuke whispered hoarsely.
Sakura closed her eyes and opened them, attempting to control her anger.
Sasuke seemed to sense this.
"Sakura…could you…could you love me again? I'll change! I promise! We can go out when and where ever you like! I'll never look at another woman again! I haven't slept with anyone since you left!"
"You mean, after I found you with Ino, when you told her we had already split up?" Sakura asked maliciously.
Sasuke paled and gulped, then he looked down shamefully.
"Sakura…I…I know I never told you this, or even showed it, but the only reason I came back…was for you. I, I think I've always loved you…since you tried to stop me from leaving six years ago" Sasuke finished quietly.
Sakura looked at Sasuke and spoke.
(To those of you who do not read the manga, sorry for the spoiler)
"Sasuke, do you remember when I left to kill you? I had my poisoned kunai ready, but before I had a chance, after I said I loved you, you attacked me? Sasuke…I would have died. And even after that…after that betrayal, when I found an opening…when I could have killed you…I couldn't. I couldn't bring myself to do it. And I knew that you would kill me, given the chance, but I still didn't do it. That's what true love is Sasuke. Say Sasuke, you could kill me…couldn't you? You can do what I never could. You could kill me" Sakura said quietly.
Sasuke starred at her in horror, knowing her words were true. He probably could kill her now, after all he said.
He leaned in, so that his lips moved against her neck.
"Then teach me Sakura…teach me how to truly love…"
And that's all it took.
{Narrator}Lemon
They crashed into each other, molding into each other's bodies. Sasuke captured Sakura's mouth in desperate, hungry kisses. Sakura enthusiastically obliged and opened her mouth and ran her tongue along Sasuke's bottom lip.
He moaned and their tongues intertwined, as they re-explored each other's mouths. Sasuke picked up Sakura and propped her on his waist. She then grabbed fist fulls of his silken hair as they kissed, moaning into his mouth.
They then crashed into a wall and Sasuke's hands roamed up and down her legs.
Suddenly he stopped as he felt the knife on her thigh. He then swiftly pulled it out and tossed it aside, not paying it any attention.
They struggled up the stairs, as they refused to pry theirs mouths apart, except for the occasional breath of air.
When they finally reached the bedroom Sasuke threw Sakura down and began nipping at her neck. His tongue then began to move in circles as he made his way down to the hem of her shirt.
When his lips met the fabric he sat up and grabbed her shirt in his fist and in one quick yank, her shirt was no more.
He looked at Sakura's blushing face as her hands reached for his chest. Her hands parted his shirt and it hung loose on his hips. She then slowly ran her hand sup and down his chest, biting her lip in bliss.
Sasuke gently grabbed one of her hands and slowly guided it down his body and to the top of his pants.
He then slowly led her to the zipper, which she quickly dealt with. After prying of his pants you could clearly see the bulge in his shorts.
Sakura cupped it gently and felt it throb in her hands. Sasuke moaned as she slipped her hand into his boxers and slowly massaged his swollen member.
Sakura then took her hand out and sat up so she could kiss him again. As they kissed Sasuke expertly unhooked the back of Sakura's bra, and it slipped of her shoulders, revealing her pert mounds.
Sasuke cupped them in his hands and smiled at how perfectly they fit. His fingers pinched her hardened nipples, earning a small gasp from Sakura.
He then gently pushed her back down and straddled her. Sasuke slowly lowered his head over one of her breasts and took it in his mouth. Sakura moaned and pulled his free hand on to her unoccupied tit and helped him squeeze it.
Sasuke rolled her hardened bud around his mouth, suckling on it like a babe. He then took it in his teeth and gingerly nibbled on it, causing Sakura's moans to escalate.
He then switched to her other breast and gave it the same attention.
Sasuke sat up and liked his lips as he looked down at Sakura as she rubbed her sore breast. She looked up at him from under pink lashes and moaned, "Sasuke…"
A low, primal growl came from his throat as he fumbled with the buckles on her skirt. He then quickly puller off her shorts and smiled, seeing her under wear.
He put his fingers under her belly button and slowly lowered it until it was hanging in the hem of her panties. Sasuke then pulled them off her long pale legs and bit his lip as he starred down at her pink patch.
Sasuke put a finger into Sakura and felt her wet, hot sex throb. Sakura gave a shaky breath and balled up the sheets in her fists. Sasuke then began rhythmically pumping his finger into her. Soon he added another, then one more. Sakura moaned and just before she hit her sweet release, Sasuke pulled out.
"Not yet, love" he cooed, sucking on his drenched fingers.
Sasuke then lowered his head as Sakura spread open her legs. He inhaled her scent and slowly ran his tongue over her sex, savoring her taste. After licking her clean Sasuke sat up to find a strange look in Sakura's eyes. She grabbed him by the shoulders and flipped him over, so that she was straddling his legs.
Sakura then violently ripped off his remaining clothing with force and starred down hungrily as she released Sasuke's trapped member. Sakura gently wrapped her hands around it and started pumping. Sasuke began thrusting his hips to Sakura's beat and gave a long, lustful moan. His pre-cum began dribbling down Sakura's hands, and she stopped, just before Sasuke could release his seed.
She looked at him with a mischievous smile.
"Not yet, love"
Sasuke smiled and leaned back. Sakura had never been this playful or controlling.
He watched as she lowered her head over his cock and felt her swirl her tongue around it. He reached down and grabbed her hair, anchoring her over his crotch.
He thrust into her and was about to cum when, once again, she wouldn't let him.
Sasuke was so sex deprived her grabbed his member and was about to release himself when Sakura grabbed his hands and whispered, "Let's get started."
Sasuke smiled as she straddled him, her sex hovering just above him. He then grabbed her hips and impaled her with his swollen cock. She gave a whimper but began to bounce on top of him.
Sasuke immediately began a slow rhythm of thrusts but it soon became frantic. Sasuke felt her tighten around him and Sakura could feel him throb inside her. She grabbed her breasts and screamed as Sasuke hit her sweet spot, and realized he had cum as well. She felt his hot seed splash inside her and she tried to steady her breathing.
She felt Sasuke flip her over so that her stomach was on the bed. Sakura got on her hands and knees and gave a small moan when she felt Sasuke position himself at her anal. She then cried out when he pushed inside her and pain erupted through her body.
It soon subsided when she felt Sasuke slow down in response to her cries, and pain soon melted away to pleasure.
Sasuke thrust his hips in and out of Sakura as fast and hard as he could, and soon she was covered in his essence.
Sasuke came and collapsed on Sakura and they both lied there panting.
"More" he heard Sakura gasp.
Sasuke sat up, his groin burning, as he looked at Sakura, shinning and covered in his cum. She lied on her back and pulled her legs back. Sasuke barely controlled him self as he positioned his penis at her fiery entrance. He impaled Sakura once more, taking pleasure as he watched the pink and black hairs mesh.
Sakura bucked her hips on to Sasuke so hard; he had to grab her ass to make sure he stayed in. Soon they were both bucking into each other with bruising force.
Finally, they both hit their release and screamed.
As Sakura lied there, panting, Sasuke gave a few final thrusts, then collapsed down beside her. He then wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to him, and that's how they stayed through out the night.
{Sakura}
She awoke to find Sasuke lying beside her. Sakura smiled and reflected on yesterdays events. She never thought she'd find herself in this bed again…let alone happy about it.
A sudden change in Sasuke's breathing alerted Sakura that he was awake.
"Hey baby" she cooed as she brushed his hair out of his eyes.
When he opened his eyes they widened, like he couldn't believe she was there.
"So it wasn't a dream" he whispered.
Sakura frowned,
"Do you regret that?" she asked nervously.
He grabbed her waist and pulled her closer.
"Never"
After taking a shower, with Sasuke, Sakura headed down to Tsunade to have a check up.
After she relayed the night events to her God mother, she was enraged, but after Sakura defended Sasuke, and said he'd changed, she softened up.
So now Sakura sat on a hospital bed, awaiting her report. She gulped when Tsunade came in with a grave face.
"Sakura…there's something you need to know"
{Sasuke}
The messenger came not thirty minutes after Sakura left. Sasuke had quickly dressed and hurried to the hospital to see what the emergency was.
When he reached the room he saw Tsunade and Sakura both silent as the dead. Sakura sat on a bed, tears leaking out of her eyes.
"Sasuke" Tsunade greeted, and beckoned him to sit.
"What's wrong?" Sasuke asked urgently.
Tsunade held up a hand.
"I'm getting there, but first I need to tell you something about medical ninjas."
"I don't see-"
"Shut up and you will! Now, medical ninjas, especially experts, are not usually affected by illnesses. This can include food poison, colds, head aches, any thing small like that. Now, our bodies don't immediately get rid of the illness, but postpone its effects. This can let the illness take its course and go with out the med. Nin even knowing it was there" Tsunade said.
Sasuke was still puzzled but said nothing.
"How ever, if it is a long term illness like an H.I.V. or cancer or something like that it works differently.
Sasuke stiffened at the deadly illnesses she listed and starred at Sakura, who refused to look at him.
"How does it work?" he asked quietly.
"Our bodies will attempt to fight it band we won't know about it, unless a traumatic experience or rigorous activity weakens the immune system just enough to let some thing slip"
Sasuke nodded and his eyes kept darting form Tsunade to Sakura.
"Now, I'm going to tell you, Sakura's body has been holding off these effects and she probably wouldn't know what was happening to her for about a month."
Sasuke was still utterly confused.
"Will she be okay?" Sasuke asked worriedly.
"Oh yes, it's not life threatening in the least" Tsunade said.
"Then I don't understand why-"
"Sakura's pregnant" Tsunade said.
Sasuke's whole being felt like a weight had been lifted. He smiled and leaned back, attempting to take in the news. He was about to leap over to Sakura but the look on Tsunade's face told him other wise.
He gulped and stilled.
"What, is it not Uchiha?" he asked, slight panic rising.
"No, it's Uchiha…" Tsunade said, trailing off.
"Then why are you-"
"Sasuke…"
Sasuke whirled around to Sakura who was just now acknowledging him. Her lips parted and spoke words that took a moment to understand.
"It's Itachi's"
