There she stood in the dead of night in the Hokage's office, waiting for her old teacher to speak. Tsunade looked troubled, her fists clenched a top of her desk, itching to punch something.

"Sakura, what I'm about to ask you do to...it's for the sake of the village" said Tsunade in a business like fashion.

"I'll do anything Tsunade-sama for the village" replied Sakura earnestly.

"I need you to eliminate Uchiha Sasuke."

Sakura's eyes widened and she felt her heart clench.

"What...?" she whispered, afraid of what she just heard.

Tsunade just sighed, beginning her explanation.

"We've found evidence he's planning to betray the leaf village again, and it's too dangerous to allow him to live" finished Tsunade.

"What! There must be a mistake! What kind of evidence are you talking about" yelled Sakura slamming her fists on the desk.

"He killed the elders Sakura" said Tsunade sharply.

"Before one of them died he confessed who the killer was" sighed the fifth Hokage.

Sakura remained silent taking this information in.

"He trusts you Sakura, you're the only one who can do this" said Tsunade.

Sakura knew it was for the good for the village,so she hesitantly agreed to do it.

Sakura silently walked into her home. She and Sasuke had been living with each other for a while now.

She clenched the poisoned kunai in her hand, as she walked through her house.

"Sasuke" she called out.

"In here" he answered her, his voice coming from the room. Sakura followed the sound and entered the bedroom.

Sasuke was packing, clothes were scattered around the room.

"What are you doing?" questioned Sakura, hiding the kunai behind her back.

"Getting ready for a little vacation" answered Sasuke. She gulped, knowing he was lying.

"Were have you been?" asked Sasuke, stopping his packing.

"Hospital" she replied quickly. Sasuke began slowly walking over to Sakura, an intense gaze on his face.

Sakura panicked internally.

Oh no...does he know about the kunai?

Sasuke stopped a few centimeters in front of Sakura before pulling her into him, colliding their lips together.

Sakura closed her eyes and moaned into the kiss. Their tongues danced together, as they savored the taste of each other. Sasuke's hand climbed up the back of her shirt, forming goosebumps on her arms. He gently rubbed his hand up, and down her back. She shivered at the contact. His hand slowly inched up her back, unclasping her bra, letting it fall to the floor.

Sakura distracted, almost forgot her mission. She lifted the kunai aiming for his back, but her hand began shaking. She was hesitating.

Sasuke broke the kiss, allowing them to catch their breath. He placed one of his hands on Sakura's cheek, and leaned in, their foreheads touching.

"Do it" he whispered.

"What...?" she whispered back.

"Kill me, I'm a threat to this village."

Sakura's hand was shaking uncontrollably now, tears were falling down her face. She dropped the kunai, as it hit the floor with a clang.

"I can't" she breathed.

"I can't do it."

"Why?" questioned Sasuke.

"I just can't. I'm weak" said Sakura.

"That's not a reason, Sakura. Tell me the truth" demanded Sasuke.

"I can't...because I love you" confessed Sakura.

Sasuke didn't respond, he just pulled her into a fierce kiss. His tongue demanded entrance into Sakura's mouth and she granted it. She buried her fingers in his hair, as their tongues danced around each other.

They broke apart, gasping for air.

"Go.." demanded Sakura.

Sasuke stared at her.

"Leave the village. I'll just tell Tsunade that you left before I could complete my mission. She'll believe me."

Sasuke kissed her again, not wanting to let her go.

As they separated, he gave her his answer.

"Come with me."

"I want you to come with me, because I can't live without you" confessed Sasuke.

Sakura knew this was Sasuke's way of saying I love you too...this time she initiated the kiss, her tongue demanding entrance into Sasuke's mouth.

In the kiss, her hand reached for the top of her head, pulling her headband off and letting it hit the floor.

Sasuke had his answer.
