Welcome to A Broken Cherry Blossom chapter 14. -sigh- Umm, yeah. Since I'll try and make this longer then Chapter 13 but since I posted ch 13 earlier today I might make this one shorter also and then make a few longer chapters. -scratches back of head- I don't know. Oh, and I've not been in a good mood so there might be some angst or something in here.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any of the characters.

Warning:

There will be mention of rape in this chapter.

Sasuke couldn't hold it any more, he let one lonely tear roll down his cheek. He didn't care anymore but he wasn't going to give up...atleast not on her.. 'With out her, I'm...nothing' he thought to himself as he let his head drop forward. "I have one question for you, Sakura." he didn't look up at her.

"And what might that be, Mr. Uchiha?" she replyed in her suductive voice.

Slowly his head inclined as his eyes locked with hers. "Do you still love me?"

The question caught Sakura off guard. Her eyes switched from the icey, cold black to the warm, loving green Sasuke knew. Sakura quickly looked up at Itachi then back at Sasuke. She looked into his eyes a few seconds before she replyed "No" she smirked as her eyes chaged back to black.

Sasuke chuckled darkly. "No?" he looked up at his love "I don't believe that" he slightly smirked "I won't believe that" his eyes locked with Itachi's as he contimplated trying to escape the man's grasp. Suddenly there was no more pressure on his arms holding him in place. He quickly looked back to see the big man laying on his back surrounded by a pool of blood and blood coming out of the corner of his mouth.

Sasuke looked to where Itachi just stood. He was gone, but Sakura still stood there looking confused. Sasuke quickly ran to her and scooped her up in a hug. She struggled at first and started to cry. She looked into Sasuke's eyes and hers went back to thier lovely green shade. "Sasuke?" she sounded more confused then she looked. "Sakura..." Sasuke said as he tightly hugged her.

"Are you okay?" he put her at arms length with his hands on her shoulders.

"Yeah," she looked at him and raised an eye brow then looked around "Why wouldn't I..." her sentence trailed off as the past day and a half came flooding back into her memory. She covered her eyes and started crying. "Oh my god" she said standing up and walking away from Sasuke slowly.

"What is it?" Sasuke looked worried as he stood up and watched her

"I'm runined...he ruined me" was all she said as she sobbed into her hands. Sasuke walked over to her and tried to hug her but she pushed him away.

"Sakura?" Sasuke stood shocked "What the hell did he do to you?"

"He...h-he.." Sakura said between sobs and mumbled something Sasuke couldn't quite make out.

"What?" he walked slowly towards her.

"he" she looked at him in the eyes "he raped me!" she collasped to the group. Sasuke stood froze then his features softened.

"It's not your fault" he embraced her in a hug. Sakura clung to Sasuke as hard as she could. A russle of the bushes reminded Sasuke that Itachi could still be near by waiting to attack. He stood up pulling Sakura with him, she still clung to him. He faced the bush and placed Sakura behind him as he drew out a kunai out of his pouch "Who's there?" he voice dripped with anger.

"It's just us" a voice said as a blond haird blue eyed boy bounced out of the bush followed by a silver haired jonin. Sasuke death glared at both of them before turing around to face Sakura.

"Sakura" he looked at her but she wouldn't look at him "Sakura, look at me." he used his finger to lift her chin to make her look at him "It wasn't your fault"

"Please don't leave me" she sobbed over and over.

"I'm not going anywhere" he hugged her tigher. "Let's get out of here" he put one arm around her waist and helped her walk back to the hotel.

-back at the hotel-

When they got back to the hotel they let Sasuke and Sakura get thier own room. But Kakashi and Naruto would take turns keeping guard over the two rooms.

Sasuke layed Sakura in the bed and covered her up. She was already asleep and he didn't want to wake her, so he left her in the dirty clothes. He sat on the bed next to her's and watched her sleep for a while. After a while Sasuke's eyes began to get heavy and his mind started to shut down. He layed back on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning when Sasuke woke up he quickly looked to the bed next to his to find it empty. He shot up "Sakura??" he yelled out. He jumped up and threw the door open and ran to Kakashi and Naruto's room. He didn't bother knocking but walked straight in. "Where is she?" he looked around

A confused Naruto came out of the bathroom with toothpaste still on the corners of his mouth.

"Sakura...where is she?"

"Well" Naruto wiped his mouth off with a towl he was carrying "she's supposed to be with you" he pulled his orange jacket on.

"Well, she's not..." he looked around "Where's Kakashi?"

"Umm" Naruto scratched the back of his head "I don't know" he threw on his shoes and stood up

Sasuke flew out the door and back to his room. He didn't bother to change clothes but grabbed his shoes and weapon pouch and put them on as he ran out the door.

As he rounded the corner to go down the stairs he ran into someone and went flying back wards. He heard a slight cuckle and glared at the man he ran into.

"Where is she?" Sasuke glared her Kakashi again.

Kakashi's face went serious "She's not with you?"

"No. Damnit!" he jumped up and dusted himself off.

"Up early, aren't we?" a voice behind Sasuke made him freeze in his place.

Muhaha. See, I updated again. That's twice in one day. This one is a bit longer...I think. Anyway, please R&R. Thanks...Oh, I'll update again within the next few days.
