Enemy

War

-

Darkness was all around, in ever sight, in ever smell, in every breath. Smoke choked the blackened sky and screams were distant all around her. The smell was enough to make you toss your guts if your enemy hadn't sliced it open for you already.

It was war.

No, it was much more than that, but she dared not think it and dampen her spirit any more than it already was.

Even though she knew it was hell.

She was numb, and at the same time, in more pain that you would imagine. Her lungs were on fire, screaming with every breath they pushed out, past her chapped and bleeding lips. Her own red life source was scattered around her in messy streams and small rivers, racing away from her.

"I...can't...I...can't...loose"

Her breath was ragged and uneven as she managed to push those words past her lips on. That in it's self was a war she would rather not loose. Her chakra was almost gone, only a faint trickle remained of the well that once was.

Fighting three S class shinobi will do that to you.

"Ugh..."

She couldn't die.

She was far too young to fall into the eternal sleep that you never woke up from. She was in prime ANBU status, too powerful to be beaten by her enemy. She had too many people that needed her for her to die now. She couldn't, she just couldn't.

Her village needed her.

Her friends needed her.

Her family needed her.

Her team needed her.

The dying needed her.

The living needed her.

The dead wanted her.

Another sharp hiss of pain passed her lips as she tried to sit up from her sleeping like position.

It was useless, and she knew it. The amount of blood that was seeping out of her at the moment, plus the amount that she had already lost was already enough to kill a normal human. Since she was a ninja, her death would only be more slow and painful.

Oh joy.

with nothing more she could do, Sakura let the only thing working properly, work.

Her mind.

'I always thought it would be something like this. Alone, in pain, on the line of duty. I guess it really was too much to want to be surrounded by my friends in a hospital bed before I fell asleep forever. Those guys don't know how good they had it, to fade away so peacefully.'

Tears built up in her hazy jade colored eyes, blurring what was left of her foggy vision.

'I'm going to die...and no one is going to know until they find my bloodied, broken body among those of our enemies. No one is going to see me die, hear my last words, hold my hand...This is it I guess.'

Her body gave another painful stab that made her whimper and hiss. She was a medic she knew what it meant. She was shutting down, her internal organs were failing her, one by one.

A dark blob of inky blackness stared down at her in the middle of her vision. Sakura blinked, shedding a few tears.

'I thought death started at the edges of your eyes and crawled inward, not the other way around...'

"Do you wish to die woman? To die in this way would be a great honor. A rare one at that. I don't think I can let you have something to be honored about."

A voice, like the darkness it's self soothed into her senses.

"I don't think I can let you die in such a wonderful way. You are far too young and I'm not done playing with you to let death take what is mine. No, you are not allowed to die just yet."

The voice went on to speak some more to her, but Sakura was already so sleepy that it faintly resembled a whisper in the wind. Maybe if she had paid attention, she would have remembered the voice of a cold older Uchiha that took away her pride after she healed him that one day, weeks upon weeks ago.

Something warm and rough brushed away some of the tear strained blood splattered on her face, tacking care not to smother it into her hair or eyes. It was almost comforting, like a master petting it's puppy.

"You need to live a bit more, I'm afraid."

More soothing words.

Blackness started at the edges of her eyesight, choking up anything that fell into it's grasp, leaving her with only darkness.

Cold...

Hard...

Deep...

Unforgiving...

Raven like darkness...

"Sleep now, my little flower. I will not allow you to die, just yet."

Then she knew no more.

-

Itachi bandaged the last of her wounds, frowning at how much blood she had lost.

He told her he wouldn't let her die she had better not try to defy his word.

She was laying on his lap in a secluded part of the forest, protected by a genjutsu that portrayed an absent area, touched only faintly by the war between Leaf and Stone. He made sure no one would be able to bother the two of them while he worked on her wounds.

She choked on a breath in her sleep making the Uchiha panic in the back of his mind, as he brought her battered body closer to his own.

He would never admit it to anyone, but he was genuinely scared for something, at the moment. He was frightened of the death Sakura could succumb to at any moment. The great Uchiha, master of emotions, ice king, and the master of masks…was scared.

Itachi brushed away a stray bang, dipped in her own crimson blood, making sure it was safely tucked away behind her ear. There was so many blood stains covering various parts of her body. On her hands, her arms, her legs, her face….

Another short breath made him panic.

He pulled the scarred girl closer to his body and let his chin rest on the top of her head, ever so softly stroking the ends of her locks in a soothing way. This seemed to calm her tremors down a bit.

Bending his neck over her head, he saw her lips part ever other second to let another breath pass by.

Good she was still breathing.

Bending down further her brushed his lips against her own, enjoying the taste, despite the blood and rough texture from dehydration and blood. It still tasted like his little flower, sweet and intoxicating.

Trailing ghost kisses along her jaw and cheek, he licked away a bit of blood seeping out from a small cut on her cheek. Even her blood was intoxicating to him.

"Oh, little flower, that is what you are. You're a drug and a beauty all in one. You had better heal quickly and come back to me. I don't think I can last too long without my addition," he breathing into her blood stained tresses.

The rave haired man grabbed her hand, lifting it up with his own to meet the cold flesh of his face. He smiled slyly, feeling her warm comforting flesh against his own, no matter how could it may be. It felt so good for her to touch his face, even if it wasn't really her.

"I can't wait for the day when you will run to me, of your own free will. To have you by my side forever would be…pure ecstasy."

He made her hand stroke his face.

"Pure and absolute ecstasy."

His smile fell downward, into a small frown.

He sensed leaf shinobi on the edge of his barrier. They would notice it soon and come to take his little flower drug away. Take her away to get better.

"Listen my little flower. Here and now I'll tell you; you are mine. I won't wait forever, if I have to I'll come and get you myself, though I would prefer you to run into my arms on your own."

He heard voices, now.

"If the circumstances were any different I would not relinquish my hold on you, but you need medical help that I can not give you."

The footsteps were getting closer.

"Don't think I'll forget about my promise. You are still my enemy, and to be with me forever would be the greatest torture. I won't stop till I have that."

The voices were almost upon them.

"I'll be waiting until then my little drug…."

His lips were upon hers once again.

"My enemy…"

And then there was nothing other than a few scattered raven feathers where the proud Uchiha once sat with a leaf blossom on his lap.

-

Blue eyes widened at what they beheld.

"Kakashi sensei! It's Sakura chan, she's alive!" Naruto shouted in joy.

Kakashi soon followed close behind, falling to the pink haired medic's side.

He looked over her injuries and breathed a breath of relief. She wouldn't die. Looks like she was bandaged just in time. The silver haired Jonin looked up to see blond and blue eyes, widened with worry and concern for the injured medic.

Naruto had to bite back a cry of emotional pain at the sight of her best friend, teammate, and not so secret crush, laying in a bloodied mess. She looked just barely alive. If it wasn't for the warmth of her skin and the steady breathing escaping her cracked lips, you would have guessed she died not too long ago

"Hurry Naruto, get the rest of the medical team!"

"Uh…hai!"

Soon there was a small squad around Sakura, escorting her back for a medical treatment and well deserved rest. She would surly receive a medal for defeating three S class enemy nins in one battle.

"Just hang on Sakura chan!"

"We're almost there."

"Hang on Sakura chan!"

"Just a little more, you can make it."

In all the chaos of transporting Sakura safely back to her village, neither Naruto nor Kakashi noticed the bloodied black fabric wrapped around her arm. The torn red cloud design was soaked with her blood, but there none the less.

-

"I won't let any other have what is mine."

You like?

Sakura has been upgraded from "Woman" to "My little drug", "Litle flower" and "mine" Good work Sakura chan!

I didn't feel like doing another chapter, but too many people wanted more. So more I give.

I don't really know where I'm going with this, so far all I have in mind is the ending, and maybe the next chapter. I liked the first chapter more than this one, but I still enjoyed writing it, regardless. The number of chapters are chosen by the number of reviews, so if you like it, I would love it if you left me a commet on my writing. Tell me what you want to see, such and such.

Please review! I would really love it if you would.

Ja n, all you lovely people.
