-'I'll admit I want no one else but my grumpy old Sasuke-kun.'

"Sakura." Sasuke remarked. The young girl kept her back turn as she continued to fill up the bottles with fresh water from the stream nearby the inn. Since their 'fight' neither Sakura nor Sasuke spoke to each other. Kakashi of course picked up the whole situation mainly because he had walked in after everything that juts ended and told Sasuke very boldly.

'You can't talk to any version of her without getting her upset.'

In addition, they still hadn't gotten any closer to figuring out why these versions of Sakura and Naruto were here.

"What is it?" Sakura asked. Her voice was strained as if she was holding herself back from saying something.

"I'm a player." Sasuke admitted, "When I was smaller my nii-san was very weak and my Kaa-chan always babied him. When I was born, she handed me over to the maids and told them to raise me. I tried hard to get her attention but she never gave it to me. She said that whatever I do it will never be enough because I was healthy and well and I am suppose to be able to do everything. Because I couldn't get her attention I tried to get every other female's attention but one girl refused to even look at me and I ended up falling in love with her- she just doesn't know it yet."

"Why are you telling me these things?" Sakura asked, "Did you think it will make things better. I still feel like an idiot." She paused, "Besides I already can tell you're in love with your Sakura. It's in your eyes anyone could see."

Sasuke chuckled, "Expect her." he replied. Sakura laughed, "But you two are better off." She said, "Than me and Sasuke-kun."

"What's he like?" Sasuke asked. He leaned against a tree as Sakura finished her last bottle.

"I told you he's an empty shell." Sakura said. Sasuke rolled his eyes, "I know that but as a guy how is he?" he asked, "I told you I am a player so what's type of guy the other me is like?"

Sakura sighed deeply, "He's misunderstood. People watch him and adored him because of his appearance and status- even me. But he had his inner child destroyed when he was just a kid. He came home a House of the Dead and only to realize his own brother killed them all. When we first became team seven Kakashi-sensei asked us to introduce ourselves. We said out names, our likes, dislikes and dreams. Sasuke-kun said he didn't have a dream but an aim to kill a man and to restore his clan." Sakura laughed bitterly.

"He's one heck of a handful to fall in love with." Sasuke said. Sakura blushed. Sasuke grinned at her, "Hey a word of advice for you. Don't hold back the next time you see him. Do whatever comes to your mind."

"How is that suppose to help me?" Sakura asked.

"I don't know but it's what I am planning to do when my Sakura gets back here." Sasuke replied.

"I am jealous." Sakura admitted, "I really hope that you two work out."

"I had a fight with her." Sasuke said, "And she hasn't talked to me in over two months and then she disappeared and you came in her place."

Sakura gasped, "You're feeling guilty." She said. Sasuke smiled sadly, "You have no idea. It was so stupid to. I should have just told her what was really going on instead of running away."

Sakura narrowed her eyes, "What's really going on?" she asked.

Sasuke glanced at her nervously and then stood up, "I am going. I'll tell you later."

Sakura gathered the bottles and shouted at Sasuke as he walked away, "You know if you can't tell me then how are you going to tell her!"

Sasuke turned around ready to rebuke her when there was a bright light. He heard the bottles falling to the ground and one rolled to his feet but he couldn't see Sakura.

"SAKURA!" Sasuke shouted.

"It's the Sharingan! It's back!" Sakura shouted.

"What?!" Sasuke shouted back, "How?!" He tried to look up and see if what she was saying was true.

"Don't look!" Sakura shouted, "You'll get taken away to!"

"What are you talking about?!" Sasuke shouted back groaning as the light blinded him even more.

"Naruto and I are going back. I can feel it. We're going home." Sakura said.

The light cleared up and Sasuke looked forward. From behind him Rin came running shouting curses that the blonde haired boy was suddenly becoming transparent and was disappearing.

Sasuke looked at Sakura who was exactly the same. "I told you we're leaving." Sakura said, "Promise me something?"

Sasuke breathed out and nodded, "Tell her you love her. It's helps when they know trust me." Sakura said, "Bye Sasuke-kun. It was nice to see another you even if we never really got along well."

Sasuke nodded again. He brought his index and middle finger together and saluted to her, "And you do the same." He said. Sakura smiled sadly as tears slide down her cheeks, "I already did." She whispered as the last bit of her body disappeared.

Sasuke looked around as if expecting something else to happen but nothing did. Kakashi made his way towards him and placed his hand on his shoulder, "They're gone." He said, "But the question remains where are our Sakura and Naruto."

-'I hope she can be happy with the other me.'
