Mistakes are all mine. This is unedited.

When viridian orbs slide open Sakura's head throbs painfully. The last thing she remembers was eating dinner with Naruto at Ichiraku. Sasuke-kun was flirting with another girl, making it look like he would kiss her and Sakura's heart wanted to run out of her chest. It however, stayed firmly encased within her body and the girl instead decided to run. She fled the main streets of the village and before she knew what was going on the pinkette was in front of her secret hiding place.

The pond inside the forest has been her haven for many years. It was hard being one of the only orphans in Konoha, but her friends were unable to help it. Staring down at the rippling water the kunoichi wished with all her heart that Sasuke-kun would love her, that there was some place somewhere that his heart could beat only for her. She didn't care the circumstances or how stupid the wish was, it was her truth in that moment.

Then the girl with the battered heart stood and prepared to leave, to go and wallow in her own misery where no one could see. Only, she tripped on a rock and fell face first into the pond.

Her eyes became unfocussed as the water became endless, pulling her further down. With a flash of light, everything changed.

Looking around this new area the pink haired kunoichi is very confused. Just a moment ago she was drowning in a very familiar place. Now she has been spat out in terrain that is completely foreign, with dark trees and burnt up ground.

A loud crash sounds up ahead and Sakura isn't sure whether she should flee or investigate. The trees seem to explode upwards as birds ascend to the sky, cawing in annoyance at someone destroying their home.

"Don't be a baka." The medic murmurs to herself. Regardless of her careful thoughts, she masks her chakra and begins to weave through the trees silently. The trouble maker can't be more than fifteen meters away if her estimation is correct.

Coming to a halt, the girl peers around a tree and is just able to withhold a gasp. There, standing amongst the smoke and burning wood – is Sasuke. Though he doesn't look like the Sasuke-kun that Sakura knows and loves…This man looks dangerous.

Gulping, the extremely inexperienced kunoichi presses her back against the wall of bark hiding her from view. She needs to get away before this person notices her. Screwing her eyes shut, the medic thinks, Why have I been sent to this horrible place?

Then it hits her and the teen's pink brows furrow. The wish! She realises, letting out a small noise. Clamping her hand over her mouth instantly, Sakura freezes on the spot, but it is too late.

In a flash, swirling kaleidoscope cloud her vision and Sasuke is in front of her. His aura is menacing, and he looks much bulkier than the boy she knows. Without realising it, her breathing accelerates along with the rapid beat of her heart.

"Sakura." Sasuke states tonelessly, cocking his head to the side with apathetic eyes. His hands sit either side of her shaking form, but their abdomens do not touch. Still, this dangerous person has a different kind of sexuality to the player that she knows. He is the real deal.

"Sasuke-kun." She manages to get out. Her gaze turns confused as she questions, "You're eyes, they weren't like that before."

His scary orbs narrow even more and it seems like he is calculating something. Watching carefully, the girl notices his line of sight.

"That necklace." He drawls. "It is new." A hand reaches up to touch the Haruno symbol and Sakura cringes.

"I – I have always worn it. It's the only thing I have of my clan." She whispers sadly.

"Tch." He responds with an expression of distaste. Stepping backward, he draws his kusanagi and holds it to his side. "You are not Sakura. Your chakra is not strong enough." Sasuke sneers, "You're acting is sub-par, Sakura would never be so pathetic."

"I am Sakura!" The kunoichi exclaims, unable to stop the fire from igniting in her eyes or the fear from swirling in her stomach.

"Prove it." He challenges, never breaking visual contact. Sasuke seems to be on his guard now. The girl didn't think it possible, but he was almost relaxed before (compared to now).

"Tell me what you said when I left the village." He orders commandingly.

Realising the horrible situation she is in Sakura says, "You never left the village. You – You aren't the Sasuke-kun that I know."

Expecting to be killed on the spot, emerald widen in surprise as the nin replies - "Explain." This Sasuke sheaths his weapon and crosses his arms. He is too serious…

Knowing she is going to sound crazy, the girl speaks regardless.

"I was eating dinner with Naruto and you had just finished a meeting with Mikoto-okaa about your birthday. You were supposed to eat with us but you decided to -" She pauses looking down at her feet (ill advisably). "You requested a kiss from a girl as a birthday gift and I ran away. I made a wish that you would love me and no one else, that I could go to a place where your heart could hold only me in it. I fell into the water and when I woke up…I was here."

Glaring intensely, Sasuke does not speak for a long moment, as if he is trying to decide if her crazy story is all a lie.

"My parents are dead." He states, and Sakura can't help but let an Oh no leave her lips.

"Does that mean…Are my parents alive in this place?" She looks hopeful and he sees fit to crush it instantly.

"Does it matter? This world is not for you." He looks bored, following up with, "I am not for you."

The girl nods deflatedly, and for the first time since arriving she wonders of the other her.

"Is the me that is here happy? She must be to have you…"

"Do not assume. I am no one's." He scowls and Sakura feels like he is becoming less intimating by the second, it has to be an illusion.

"But – My wish.." The pinkette trails off completely confused. If this Sasuke does not love her then why is she here? Unless. Unless he is lying to himself.

"You don't want her to know." She accuses unable to help herself. "Does she not love you?"

Sasuke looks to the side, he seems slightly uncomfortable with this conversation. "I do not know. Nor do I care." Looking back up, he steps forward again. "We have not seen each other in a long time."

"But, she did love you? I can feel it." Sakura shoots back, hugging her back to the tree again as he reaches her.

"You feel nothing. I feel nothing." He growls, grabbing a hold of her chin. Struggling, the kunoichi tries to get away from this person. She isn't ready to die. "Stop moving. I want to see your memories." Sasuke hisses, grabbing her wrists hard enough to bruise.

"Oh." She realises, allowing her gaze to meet his. Then his eyes are spinning quickly and Sakura feels like she is being put under a spell. The next thing she knows is blackness, but not before hearing - "Your eyes are like hers." In a toneless curiosity along with words that are almost comforting, words Sakura is certain that she wasn't supposed to hear.

"In another world I would not hurt you…" He murmurs.

When Sakura rouses, it is dark and she is lying on the bank of the pond. Her head is even more scrambled than before and the pinkette really needs a nap.

"A dream." She whispers, crawling from the muddy area. Standing up shakily the girl closes her eyes for a moment and imagines a stoic Sasuke, so different to the person she knows, dressed in white and blue. His kaleidoscope eyes can never be forgotten.

"Ow." Sakura says when her hand brushes an inescapable piece of foliage. Stopping, the girl holds up her sore wrist to the moonlight, rolling it in a circle. Gasping, emerald zone in on a barely visible thumb shaped bruise rising on her lily white skin.

Oh sweet Kami-sama.

"It wasn't a dream."
