Another part from the Miraculous AU. Takes place after Day 18: Enemies

Sasuke quickly ducked down with Naruko right behind her.

"Wait, so you're telling me you're Sasuke and the guy chasing and trying to kill us is Sakura?"

"He found out his father has been the villain, what do you expect?" Well, she couldn't blame him.

"Still how are we going to defeat him?"

"I… I'm working on it." Naruko gave her a blank look. "You really have no idea do you?" She groaned. "Well, couldn't we get more people? Why just me?"

"I'm trying but it is kind of difficult to give others the Miraculous without letting Sakura's Dad know who they are." Sasuke peeked around to make sure they weren't followed.

"I could try and create illusions?"

"Except Sakura knows of the Miraculous, he'll put two and two together."

"Then we'll just have to try and not get caught. It's all we got right now." She sighed. "It doesn't look like he's here at the moment. Fine, I'll leave it to you. But I'll have to be quick."

Sakura started looking around trying to find the two superheroes but stopped as headaches started to make its way.

Let me go

You're still refusing to give up? What have I told you? This is for your mother

Bullshit!

Stop resisting

I'm not letting you hurt anymore of my friends

"Sakura!" Katsuyu had appeared in front of him.

"Katsuyu, what have I told you about being here? GO!"

"I can't leave you, especially since your resisting. We can fight him together."

Wait, your Byakugou? I don't believe this, but this does make it easier. Grab her and give me your Miraculous

NO!

Sakura that is an order!

I don't care.

"Katsuyu if you don't get out of here right now you'll be in danger… please." He begged, however, the Kwami wouldn't budge.

"There has to be something we can do."

"Sakura!" Another voice called out, one that Sakura was familiar with.

Ino

He had the bee Miraculous and took a step towards him.

"Sakura you're better than this, you can fight this! We believe in you." Only it wasn't, Sakura knew that this work belonged to Naruko. However, if he could resist enough, maybe they could get more back up. His head started to ache again.

Sakura, stop resisting and fight them

NO! The boy groaned trying to fight back the Akuma, he kept thinking of all the happy memories with his friends. With Amaterasu and Katsuyu, nothing was working. The Ino illusion was still there looking worried and rather than grab his hand he punched through it getting rid of it.

Stop it, stop it, stop it, please.

"Well, I was sure that would work." Naruko pouted, however considering he wasn't moving maybe she wouldn't have to worry.

Just hang in there a little longer Sakura, you can take this.

"You couldn't have gotten me sooner?" An angry Ino raged but Sasuke rolled her eyes. "You're here now aren't you, and like I said we can't risk Mr Haruno finding anything out."

Ino scowled but understood as frustrating as it was.

"Do you even have a plan? Like really you expect us to fight Sakura. Surely there has to be something… he likes you doesn't he?"

"…"

"You have to try something. Anything."

"There is one… but I need to get close to him."

Naruko hissed holding her stomach since Sakura had snapped out of it he was going on a rage so she had no choice but to get into close combat to distract him. Katsuyu went to check on her apologising on Sakura's behalf.

"It's fine, I get it." After all, I've been there too. To think both he and Sasuke had been the ones protecting and saving them. She owed them this much.

"STAY AWAY!" The blonde-haired woman shook her head.

"I know you don't want to hurt us but you have to resist. I've seen you do it before, you're stronger than you think." He froze and started to tremble almost in tears.

"I can't, no matter how much I try. I just have so much anger and frustration. I can't do this."

"Then maybe I can," Amaterasu appeared, and started walking towards him. Whilst Ino tended to Naruko. He tried to back away and stay clear from her.

"What are you-" Sakura asked but froze feeling her cup his face gently.

"I told you I love you. You Sakura and I don't know if you'll ever love the real me, but I know you do love this me so maybe…" And without warning, she pulled him down and kissed him. She kissed him! Sakura felt his knees start to weaken as he slowly started responding to the kiss.

Both Naruko and Ino were still on guard just in case if they had to act and get in between them but instead nothing. When she finally broke the kiss Sakura had turned back to normal but fainted, no Akuma flew out though he just collapsed. Sasuke caught him before he fell.

"Tie him up just to be safe, watch over him. He may still be under its influence. Besides, there's still one more person we need to take care of."

"Is it safe for you to go alone though?" Ino asked putting Sakura on his back.

"Probably not, but what choice do we have?"
