Here ya go
I do not own Naruto
In the Middle of the Night~
Sakura's eyes snapped open. She looked up and in the corner was a pair of sharringan eyes. Her mouth opened to yell but the person moved quickly and covered his mouth with his hand. "Sakura, Don't yell" Sasuke said in a low voice. 'SASUKE!' Sakura thought surprised. "Promise you won't yell?" he asked. Sakura thought about it for a moment then slowly nodded. Sasuke let his hand slide down and back to his side. "Your wounds…..are healed?" he asked looking at the floor. 'Don't tell me he was….worried?' Sakura thought. *Why is he here?* Inner thought just as surprised as Sakura was. "Y-Yes" she mumbled. Sasuke gave a sigh of relief. Then followed by a long period of silence. "I killed Orochimaru" Sasuke said out of the blue. Sakura just stared at him. "And I was considering coming back to the village" he added.
Sakura continued to stare. Sasuke feeling her stare on him finally turned and stared at her. He quickly looked away mumbling something. "What?" Sakura asked when she couldn't understand him. "I said I was sorry" Sasuke nearly shouted but quickly toned his voice down. Sakura's eyes nearly fell out of her eye sockets. "I..I didn't want to hurt you. I wanted to get to Itachi, to finally take something from him" Sasuke said looking back at the floor. "What do you mean?" Sakura asked a bit confused. "I mean….I knew that he liked you. Before he killed everyone, I knew that you liked him. And I was cold to you all those years because…..I couldn't understand why? Why you liked him? After what he did and you continued loving him" Sasuke said pausing. Sakura was silent. But after hearing Sasuke say that she felt a little guilty. He was her best friend, yet she sided with his brother, the murderer of the Uchiha Clan. "But I understand now. I finally found the truth behind the massacre. I finally achieved my goal….Itachi is dead. I beat him" Sasuke said feeling guilty. Sakura froze. Her face paled. 'So…..he did…k-kill him' she thought with tears threatening to fall from her face. Sakura held it in. She held her feelings in, her tears, her anger. Everything. Sasuke stared at her. He moved closer to her and pulled her close to him, into a hug. He patted her head as the tears fell from her eyes. 'Is this….what you really wanted Itachi?' Sasuke thought closing his eyes thinking back to the fight.
Flashback
Sasuke, Itachi and Sakura were laying on the ground. Sakura still unconscious and Itachi already half dead. He had finally told Sasuke the truth. Everything was out and he didn't feel any regret anymore. "Why?" Sasuke said over Itachi. "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!" Sasuke yelled. Tears already sliding down his face. Itachi slowly raised his hand to Sasuke's cheek. "Foolish little brother" Itachi said with a small smile. "And Sakura?" Sasuke asked. Itachi turned his head facing Sakura, then back at Sasuke. "She's my most important person" Itachi said with a smile. Sasuke stared at him. "You?" Sasuke ask at the nodding Itachi. "Yes, I love her" He said coughing up some blood. Now, Sasuke really felt guilty. "Then why let it end this way" Sasuke asked. "I didn't think…..I would ever see her" Itachi said. His voice getting lower. "Sasuke, Protect her, comfort her, tell her everything. Take my place" Itachi said. Sasuke shook his head. "She hates me. Why do you always act on your own" Sasuke said. Itachi smiled as he slowly closed his eyes. '"Itachi….ITACHI!" Sasuke yelled. He laid down beside his brother until his team took him away. A few days after, Sasuke killed Orochimaru, Karin and headed towards Konoha with only one thing in mind. Keeping his promise to Itachi.
End Flashback
Sasuke gently laid Sakura back in her bed. She had fell asleep while crying. He put the blanket back over her and stared at her. "I know why he fell in love with you" Sasuke said quietly. "Your ability to see people for what they are. Not by their names or past" he said staring at her sadly. "I'm sorry Sakura" he said before he stood up and jumped out her window.
