He is in a battle field.

And he is scared.

He shouldn't be he knows, because he knows it's a terrible dream but he still is.

He is scared because she is bleeding in front of him and he has no clue what to do. He isn't a medic, he can't sooth the angry red bleeding cut on her chest. He can't fix it and make it better. He's helpless and she's crying and he doesn't know what to.

He's seen people die on the battle field before. He's seen comrades and enemy's fall. And he'd smirk and call his opponent weak and wouldn't look back. But she wasn't weak! She was strong and a fighter and she was a healer. So why wasn't she trying to fix it, she was a healer they said she could heal anything, so why wasn't she trying to save herself?

"Sakura, damn you don't just lie down and die TRY TO SAVE YOURSELF! That's what you preach; you say not to rely on others to save you, do it yourself! So do something don't look at me like that and damn you STOP CRYING!"

She sighs and nods before raising a hand to her chest and giving a failed attempt at healing herself.

"Not working. Just – just leave."

"I'm not leaving. Do you need chakra, I have plenty left?"

She shakes her head up at him smiling and he finds the sight even more disturbing then the blood and the tears, because she was a fighter and he respected that about her and she was becoming what she once was and he hated it!

"No you don't understand. You're not a medic and you don't know what I know, a human can only lose so much blood and stay alive, and while I haven't reached that limit I'm very close. There are also spots that are virtually unhealable without a great deal of skill and chakra."

"I have skill not the chakra, and before you ask no your chakra cannot help me, your element is fire and lightening while my element is water. Do you see the problem? Your chakra would be practically poison to my weakened system. In this condition my body couldn't handle your chakra – you would kill me faster than this – "

She pointed to the still bleeding wound on her chest.

– Ever could. So please don't fight me on this because if I'm going to die than I don't want to go angry and fighting someone who isn't even my enemy. At least give me this."

So he watches as she bleeds and he holds her hand and he watches knowing he's dreaming and wishing that he could wake himself up.

And as soon as she screams out in pain for the final time the scene changes.

And he's standing in front of a wonderfully whole Sakura and he wants to hug and kiss her but he doesn't because the tears are streaming down her face and he still doesn't know what to do.

"Sakura – "

"Just don't Sasuke, don't I'm tired of all you bull crap because you don't love me. You don't! And I can't sit around and wait for you to start loving me, because I have a life too and I'm not content with this anymore."

"Sakura don't – "

"There you go again trying to tell me what to do! Do you know how irritating I find that? Even on missions you do that! I'm not a baby Sasuke I'm not the little girl from a civilian clan who dreamed of being a ninja anymore. I've grown up and I suggest you do the same."

"Sakura I – "

"NO I'm done think of this as our last date. Goodbye."

And she turns around and walks away her pink hair dancing in the wind.

The ring that he'd been clutching ever so tightly all night clatters to the ground.

The scene changes and his throat fills with ash.

He's running and he recognizes the village gates and the people in front of them and he realizes how relieved he is that they're there and not somewhere in the smoke and ash and rubble that is behind him. He's so relieved that their all safe.

He skids to a stop and is confused when people flinch away from him but he is still oh so relieved when he catches sight of Sakura standing in the front of the group safe and sound except for a few scrapes on her knuckles.

"Sakura – "

"Don't talk to me you, you MONSTER!"

Sasuke backs up slightly as Sakura aims a chakra laced punch at his face.

"Sakura what do you – ?"

She lashes out again trying to wound him this time with a chakra scalpel.

"You're a fucking traitor Uchiha you betrayed us! You're a fucking cowardly TRAITOR!"

Even long after he captured the word traitor rings in his ears. In a constant loop it's what causes him to break in the end.

"SASUKE-KUN!"

Sasuke shot up in the bed breathing hard, sweat glistening across his bare chest. Sakura's arms are around him and she's franticly checking his head before forcing him to lye back down.

"Your fever spiked Sasuke, you had me scared out of my mind for a while thank the kami that your fever broke. Still for a while you –? What exactly where you dreaming about Sasuke-kun?"

He shakes his head and pulls her back down next to him. It was all a dream like he knew it was. Sakura was laying next to him the ring he gave her on her finger, the village was safe. It was all a dream and he didn't need to worry.

He flicked the lamp off and pulled Sakura closer to his chest. Staring at the pink head nestled against his chest he rubbed his thumb over Sakura's stomach and smiled as he felt a kick against his hand.

"Sakura?"

"Yes Sasuke-kun?"

"Thank you for taking care of me just – thank you."

She smiled.

Your welcome, and Sasuke-kun?"

"Yes?"

Sakura turned over in his arms.

"Go to sleep."

He chuckled.
