The last one turned out better than I had thought it would. This one will be probably the saddest one I've ever written, but I'm gonna do it. Wish me luck and happy read.


"Sakura. You can't keep doing this to yourself." Ino sighed as she walked by the room Sakura sat outside of.

"I can't leave him. We never got married, but everyone treats us as if we are married." She mused staring into the small window.

"I will always be by your side no matter what you do, but you sitting here every second of your spare time is not good for you. I know you wanted to get married, but you heard Shizune, Tsunade and my grandmother. He can't come out of this, even if there was a possibility it's a slim one. Ino's grandmother was one of the best when it came to the mind. Coming from a clan of mind techniques they not only knew how to control a mind, they knew how to interpret it as well. "He could hurt you."

"He's my everything Ino. We've been through so much. Why is this any different?" Sakura sighed trying not to cry again. "It's been a whole month."

"I know, but he's been through a lot. This is his mind's way of coping with it all." Ino comforted sitting down next to her best friend. "When Naruto died a part of all of us died, Sasuke and Hinata took it the hardest. She's strong enough to get through this because she doesn't hide from her feelings and their children are what are keeping the will in her alive. Sasuke has lost so much already; he never coped with the loss of his clan, or the death of Itachi. The death of his best friend is what finally pushed him over the edge." She sighed hugging her around the shoulders.

"I know losing Naruto was hard on all of us, but he looks at me like I'm a rogue nin trying to kill him."

"When he sees you he automatically associates you with Naruto and that causes his brain to shut down." Ino calmly explained.

"It's been a month. I wanna see him. In person this time. Not through a piece of glass while he's stuck in a room on the other side of the wall." Sakura carefully bargained. Ino stared at her exasperated. The day Naruto died Sasuke had all out lost his mind. He woke up the next morning after listening to Sakura cry herself to sleep and attacked her. Luckily just about all of Konoha 12 fell asleep in the Hokage's office trying to plan Naruto's funeral since he had no living relatives other than Karin, to do it for him. Sakura had woken up with a sore throat, red eyes and a tired body lying on Sasuke's chest. When she sat up the movement caused Sasuke to wake up and that's when all hell broke lose. He activated his sharingan and jumped away from Sakura in frenzy. She gaped at him wondering what had come over him. When Sakura tried to go towards him he dashed forward to her and pinned her to the wall by her throat. Everyone panicked and the guys tried to pry him off of her. When he turned around and saw the other girls staring at Sasuke in wonder he calmed down and deactivated his sharingan.

"Sasuke-Kun." Sakura cautiously called.

"Stay away from me!" He growled gripping the side of his head.

"Sasuke." Ino called walking towards him. Shikamaru grabbed her wrist trying to keep her away but she gently shook him off. The guys held onto Sasuke tighter as Ino stood in front of him and placed a hand on his forehead. Within seconds she looked at Choji who nodded and hit Sasuke on the back of the neck, rendering him unconscious. Ino had an inkling that something had snapped in his mind and it was only confirmed when Tsunade, Shizune and her grandmother had all stated he was in shock form Naruto's death and that it had caused him to completely go over the edge, seeing anything or anyone associated with him would trigger an angry streak. So as a caution Sakura was to be kept away from him for her own safety and hope of regaining his own sanity.

"I'm going in and you can't stop me." Sakura declared jumping up from the bench placed outside his room. Ino opened her mouth to reject only to clamp it shut and sigh. She knew her best friend was determined to get him back to his normal self.

Sakura slowly unlocked the door with the key Ino gave her and stepped inside cautiously. She wasn't sure if this would kill her, but for him and for Naruto she was willing to put her life on the line.

"Sasuke-Kun." She called out. Sasuke snapped his eyes open and sat up fast.

"You. You're the girl that killed my best friend." Sasuke spat out, his sharingan spinning rapidly. Sakura understood now what no one could figure out for the past month, Sasuke's mind was in so much shock he was mixing up all the memories and faces in his mind.

"No. Sasuke-Kun. You've got it all wrong. I'm his other best friend; one of his many best friends really. We're all apart of Konoha 12. You and I were childhood friends and a couple months ago you proposed to me." She cautiously stammered out staring at his cold black eyes.

"Lies! You killed Naruto and now you want to kill me! Get away before I rip you to shreds!" Sasuke screamed clutching his head with his hands.

"Sasuke! Look at me and think! You're in shock, Naruto dying put your mind in shock and now you're mixing everything up. Look at me! You proposed to me in a field of fallen Sakura blossoms. You gave me this." She held up her hand and showed him a ring; it was a silver band with a white circle bordered with diamonds and the Uchiha symbol inside filled with red rubies and white gold.

"That's my clan symbol." He quietly observed. She smiled and nodded at his recognition. "You aren't lying. Tell me more…Sakura-Chan."

"Sakura." She corrected wrinkling her nose. "You never called me Sakrua-Chan." He nodded and touched her face as if it would help him remember her.

"Correct my mind Sakura." He said in a hushed toned. She nodded and started from when they were children. Everyday for the next two weeks she came inside and told him more and more. Sometimes it was the memories Naruto shared with them and sometimes it was memories between just those two. Slowly day-by-day things clicked and Sasuke would finish her sentences to those memories she tried to spill out to him.

One day when she walked into the room she was surprised when Sasuke tackled her from behind in a tight almost loving hug. Her eyes softened when she turned around and saw life returning to his eyes.

"Sakura. I need a favor. Since I'm slowly remembering and everything's shifting to its rightful places in my head. I need to do something that I both want to do and know I use to do." He proposed starting intently into her eyes.

"Sure Sasuke-Kun. What is it?" She asked staring at him with innocent like eyes.

"Let me kiss you." He stated nonchalantly. She smiled and leaned up ready to kiss him. Before she could press her lips to his he pulled her in by her lips and crashed his lips to hers, engulfing her in a sugary warm kiss. When she pulled away he was smirking at her.

"I remember that blush. That's not easy to forget." He smirked running a finger against her flushed skin.

"Sasuke-Kun?" She questioned.

"There's no guarantee I'll be okay right away. There are still times I question who you really are and what really happened in my life, but it'll be okay. I've gotten through the death of my clan. Reliving me taking my brother's life and Naruto's death. Everything's a little hazy and jumbled still, but I'm sure you'll put it together. Just don't stay away from anymore." He murmured.

"Sasuke-Kun. I would never watch you suffer from the other side of the wall again." She sighed pulling him in for another kiss.
