Sorry about the late update, school is a killer. Anyways I think I've left the cliff hanger long enough, it's time to put your heads at rest.

xXx

There was a slight tinge of pink in the water just in front of him, a couple of bubbles raised to the surface and popped.

"Sa-ku-ra." He breathed heavily.

'No it can't be.' He thought.

Then it hit him, it was his Sakura, drowning right in front of him. But he was to weak to move, he couldn't even breathe properly.

His eyes began to fill with a strange liquid that he hadn't seen since the night of the massacre.

He was to weak just like that night, he couldn't save his family and now he couldn't save the one girl oh had cared for him, Sasuke, the human icicle.

Will Sasuke save his most precious person or sit there and watch her die just like his parents?

xXx

Finally learning to Love.

The way she walked, the way she talked but most of all the way she smiled were the only thoughts going through Sasuke's mind.

'I'm weak, I can't even save the girl I… I love.'

'Finally, stop being such a pussy Sasuke and move your arms. You can't save her now but you can help.' Sasuke's inner spoke calmly.

'HOW? TELL ME HOW RIGHT NOW?' he screamed.

'Remove the Chakra seal; she should feel it being removed. It should help save her, that is if she wants to be saved.'

'Of course she does, she is a future Uchiha after all and Uchiha's don't give up that easily.'

'Umm… you just did.' His inner laughed

'Shut up.' As Sasuke thought this he lifted his arms and began making the hand seals to release the chakra seal.

*sighs* "Please work, please work." He whispered.

Under the water with Sakura

Her eyes shot open as she felt all of her chakra points re-open, she had fully awaken from her unconscious state. Looking around she realized she was still in fact drowning, she opened her mouth to scream but instead it was then filled with murky water.

She was on her last bit of air, she would die any moment.

'I'm going to die, Argh stupid Itachi. I won't even get to see Sasuke ever again.'

'Think Sakura, how could the chakra seal be removed? Any clues because if you don't realize soon you're going to die.' Her inner screamed.

'Maybe it's a good thing, maybe Itachi only helped me reach the truth. Wait what about the chakra seal being removed?'

'…'

'Sasuke, he's here'

'He's trying to save you, you baka.'

Sakura opened her eyes and focused, she needed to see Sasuke even if it was just for a moment before she died.

She focused her fresh chakra to her feet and began to kick slowly, gradually building strength and picking up speed.

xXx

Back on the surface.

Nothing happened he couldn't feel anything, no use of her chakra. His eyes began to water once again but at least he had tried.

Suddenly he felt her chakra spike and continue to rise, it was getting closer. He looked at the waters surface to see her pink hair rise above, then her face. She was smiling, smiling at him but that's when she started to cough vigorously. The pain in his chest disappeared even if for just a moment.

He looked deep in her eyes but then they closed and didn't open, she had fallen un-conscious and began to sink once again.

This time however he could save her and he planned on doing so. He hopped up and jumped into the water dragging himself towards her submerging body.

Still recovering from the chest problem, he began to pant heavily as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her to the waters edge.

Her name continued to play through his mind over and over. Once he reached the waters edge he picked Sakura up and carried her up to the flower field, he thought it would be softer for her.

He gently laid her down, she looked peaceful. Her wet pink hair stuck to her face and her clothing clung to ever perfect curve of her body, he couldn't peel his eyes away from her. He had nearly let her die, this of course mad him very angry.

He leaned down with his face barely inches away from hers; all he wanted to do was check if she was breathing. Well that's what he told himself, just as he was slowly retreating after listening to her jagged breaths she began to stir.

Her eyes shot open and she jolted upwards, head butting Sasuke.

Sasuke fell beside her, both grabbed there foreheads in distress.

"Sakura." He whimpered.

She released her forehead and turned to look at Sasuke.

"Sakura are you alright?" he questioned looking at her with confusion written all over her face.

She jumped and wrapped her hands around his neck, hugging him tightly.

"You're alive, he didn't kill you. You saved me and you didn't die." She started to chatter quickly.

"Sakura what are you… mmph…" He was abruptly cut off by her lips crashing into his.

Her lips were warm and full of love; he hadn't experienced that feeling since the last time his mother had hugged him.

He slowly began to return the kiss, her heart crashed against her chest as he returned her kiss. She didn't really expect him to, then she slightly opened her eyes and saw that his eyes were red and puffy, like he had been crying.

'Sasuke was crying for me, I hope this moment never ends.' As Sakura thought this Sasuke began to nibble on her lip begging for entrance. Truth be told, she did want to tease him but she gave in very quickly. Slightly opening her mouth she gave him access where his tongue began to work his magic.

They both needed to breath, unfortunately that meant that they needed to stop there first ever kiss. Well stop it for the moment.

"Sakura… I…" he whispered.

"I know, you know the only reason I didn't die was because of you. I was dying happily until you came and broke that damn seal. WHY WOULD YOU EVEN PUT A SEAL ON ME ANYWAY I COULDN'T EVEN FIGHT BACK." She eventually began to scream as she remembered what had happened.

"Dying happily, what's that supposed to mean?" he looked into her eyes as he saw guilt rush through them.

She slightly slid away from him and looked at the ground.

"Sakura what did Itachi do to you?" he said with a slight bit of anger present in his voice.

"How did you know it was Itachi, I never told you. You should be going after him."

"No I needed to know you were ok, but you weren't. he had to of done something to you to make you want to die. WHAT WAS IT?" he said with anger dripping out his mouth like blood.

"Tsukuyomi." She whispered.

Sasuke's eyes flashed with anger, Itachi had used that technique on him twice to show him the death of his clan. That technique would send people insane and suicidal.

"What did he show you?"

"The future, that's why I had to die." She whimpered as a tear tried to form.

"Hn, Sakura?"

"You dying trying to save me from him, then I used the kunai that had killed you to kill me. It just kept replaying in my head and wouldn't stop; I never want that to happen. You have to kill him not the other way around; you have to do it alone. I realise I am just a distraction and that's why you left Konoha and me."

"…Hn" Sasuke said as he slowly thought about what she had said, he knew for a fact that Itachi could not show the future.

'He was testing her.'

"The Akatsuki's hideout is in a cave to the North, just on the land of fire's border. I have to go home now." She squeaked at the last part, she was leaving him this time and not the other way around.

Sasuke's heart dropped, she was going to leave him and it was Itachi's fault. Sasuke hopped up and took a step away from Sakura.

She followed suite and also stood up but then walked up to him and slightly kissed him on the lips.

"Promise when you kill him, you'll come return to Konoha or visit me at least." She whispered into his ear as she hung her hands around his neck and her face laying in the hollow of his neck.

"Hn." Was all he could reply, he had to get used to being alone again but she wasn't gone yet so he was going to make up for a lot of lost time.

This one time he was going to show some form of emotion towards Sakura even if it was the one emotion he hid himself from for such a long time. He was going to tell her before she left him to kill his brother.

"Sakura… I do…. Lo-Love You…" he stuttered. The great Uchiha stuttered and slightly blushed as he looked into her eyes. She had a massive smile on her face, ear to ear.

She jumped and passionately kissed him, all her love, hate and resentment she had for him where all packed in one. He could feel every emotion she had felt since he left her that night.
