Chapter Two: Will Love Prevail?

"Hello Sakura, it's nice to see you again." A voice said behind me.

I turned around and looked at the speaker. "Sasuke-kun." I said shocked out of my mind. "What do you want? And why are you here?" I asked hastily.

He smirked. "Well first of all you are on my property." He said slyly looking me up and down. Eyeing my chest closely. I wanted to deck him in the face so bad. "Well doesn't it look like some of us have matured?" he asked as his smirk widened.

I glared at him. 'Since when was he a pervert?' I thought to myself quite confused. "And some of us haven't I see. In fact some of us have become like Naruto and Kakashi-sensei." I stated knowing I had hit the mark. 'Hell ya! Teach that mofo!' my inner self cheered me on.

He glared at me not knowing what to say. I glanced at my watch. "Looks like I have to go now. I didn't want to see your face anyway." I stated icily. I turned to leave but felt a hand grasp onto my wrist. I turned my face around to see that Sasuke had grabbed on to my hand.

"Just where do you think you're going?" he asked coldly.

I stared at him my eyes tearing. What was this feeling is my heart still in love with Sasuke. "Sasuke, please get off of me." I pleaded.

He looked triumphant. "No. I've been waiting six long years for you to come to me. But you never came. And now you have. I can't let you slip away that quickly from me." He stated. "Remember, Love will always prevail." He said and kissed me roughly on my lips. My knees felt weak, why is this happening to me.

'Oh my gosh. He's a divine kisser but please the pain! Ugh. Get him off.' My inner self said supporting me. I tried to push him away with all the force I had but the kiss was deepening and I couldn't help but enjoy it quite a bit. I pulled away finally out of breath. "Why are you doing this?" I asked feeling horrible. "Why do you do this to me!" I yelled. "All the years I wanted you, but you never wanted me. And when I finally have pushed all my feelings for you aside you finally pretend like you care. Why do you make me miserable like that!" I screamed some more as he was taken back. "Have I ever done anything to harm you anyway. NO! I was just that little girl behind you and Naruto. Never did anything to hurt anybody. Never hurt anybody. I was the one who always got protected when the bad guys came around. I was the one who just stood there cheered you guys on. That was I. And now that I've tried my hardest to change that, you try to make me return to my old ways. Well guess what, I'm not going to because I made it to the top. Without your help or anyone else you thank you very much. This was me proving to myself and everyone else that I too can do it also." I said hotly.

He stared at me. "Really? Well, I don't believe you. You're probably still a Genin at most a Chuunin." He said maliciously.

A tear slid down my cheek. How much I wanted to kill him at this moment. But I knew it wasn't the wisest move so I stayed still. "Neji-san, help me please. I know you would feel the same way just the way I'm feeling." I muttered. I blinked. 'Oh my! I just asked Neji for help didn't I?' I thought to myself. 'You're in love with him!' my inner self cooed. "Think Sakura, you're not weak anymore. You're strong. Be firm." I muttered a little bit loudly.

Sasuke seemed to not hear my first mutter but he raised his eyebrow when he heard my second one.

"You're wrong." I stated firmly. "I have made it all the way to the Jounin level." I said. "Hunter-nin and all." I told him.

He stared at me again and then out of nowhere, he punched me right in the jaw. I fumbled backwards but was able to stand still on my own two feet.

I put my hand to my jaw. "If you loved me that much. Why would you hurt me?" I asked him knowing he didn't love me at all and that this was all an act to hurt me even more.

Sasuke snickered. "All you wanted in life was for me to love you. But I don't so I guess it would be better if you just died right here and right now. Since you have no one." He said.

I took my hand into my head and just shook. 'How can this be happening? He was my teammate we all stood by one another then. Why did everything change? Why is he talking so much now? He never used to talk unless it was absolutely necessary. What did Orochimaru do to the Sasuke-kun I once knew.' I thought. I took my head out of my hands and put my hands down and stood firmly and walked towards to Sasuke, placing my right hand on his left shoulder as he stared. "You're wrong. I do have somebody with me."

"Who?" he asked dumbfounded.

"Hyuuga Neji. I think I'm falling for him. You were yesterday. He is today and tomorrow." I told him. "As much as I loved you and still do. I can't go through this and I've come to realize this." I said to him, as I was shocked I had told him feelings for someone I didn't even know myself.

He blinked. He didn't know how to take the information I had just given him, in but then again neither did I.

And to my own surprise, I ran up to him and kissed him deeply on the lips and moments later, which felt like an eternity I pulled away. "You wouldn't happen to know where the three-leaf black clover would be would you?" I asked him. He pointed to the right. And I saw the glowing flower. Then I punched him right in the stomach with all my strength and knocked him out. "Thank you." I muttered to him as I heard a round of applause that seemed to be coming from one person.

"Quite a performance for a young lady like you." The man said.

'That voice I've heard it before. So familiar.' I thought to myself quickly. 'Oh my gosh, If I don't find out in the next two seconds by myself I'm going to die.' I continued in my head. I took my chance and ran for the flower, grabbed it and put it safely in my vest pocket and ran for it. But as I ran past the man I nearly hit an invisible barrier. I stopped and touched the barrier hoping to find a weak spot or a place where I could go through.

"Nice try. But they're no holes in my barrier. It's perfect. No weak spots or anything of that sort here. But a smart lady like you would know that already, I presume." He said.

"Orochimaru." I mouthed. 'Damn, two evil guys, one right after the other. Are they attracted to me or something?' I shuddered as I thought about that. I placed my hand right onto the wall as the wall started to glow. I could hear Orochimaru gasp lowly.

Orochimaru smirked as he threw about two dozen different kunais and shurikens at me. I leapt into the air as the weapons banged into the wall and fell. "Pretty good speed. You must be the fastest in all of Konoha Village." He said praising me.

"No. Lee-san and Gai-san are the fastest. I feel like a turtle compared to them." I said. "Now if you will excuse me I have someone to meet." I said and jumped over the barrier.

"Until next time, Sakura-sama." Orochimaru said from way behind. "Until next time."

I shuddered but ran to where I was supposed to meet Neji. Neji was waiting there with his arms crossed.

"You had me worried." He said.

"Then why didn't you come and get me." I asked him.

"Because I knew you could handle it yourself." He said smiling. "You're a big girl now."

I let out a soft giggle. "Of course I am." I said. 'Hell ya! Damn right you are. And now you have Neji-kun. Damn, life is all good.' My inner self shouted. I laughed.

Neji looked at me. "What?" he asked.

"It's nothing." I said.

"Is your jaw okay?" he asked as he placed a hand on my jaw.

"Oh. I just got punched there while ago." I said. "It will be alright." I told him sincerely.

"Let's go then." He said taking his hand away from my face and holding it out for me to take.

I smiled at him and took his hand as we walked home. I saw the people of the sound waking up and getting their day started. Not everyone in the sound village was evil. They are normal people just like the people in Konoha and just like me. This was a new day for them to start things off on a fresh start. And for me this day was going to come to a halt because I was probably going to go back to sleep for the 5 to 6 hours of sleep I had missed. But as long as I have someone standing next to me, holding my hand I know I can continue and live on. Thank you everyone who has shown me that, Tsunade-sama, Kakashi-sensei, Naruto, Ino-chan, Lee-san, Neji-san but most of all Sasuke-kun. And even though you are no longer with me here, Sasuke-kun there will always be a place in my heart just for you. Because even though I know you don't love me the way I had loved it's okay. I don't mind. But I must move on. Just like the way you told me to six years ago when I didn't listen. I thank you.

Neji looked at me.

"What?" I asked him.

"Thinking are you?" he asked.

I nodded.

"About?" he asked.

"What happened back there and things I gave up for a new life." I said happily.

"Oh." He said. "I see you're happy now."

I flipped my hair off my neck. The hair I had kept short since the time I had cut it during the Chuunin Exams. "Haven't been this free in six years." I told him.

He smiled. Six years ago the first time I had met Neji.

"You look cute when you smile." I told him.

"Thanks." He said blushing.

"Alright. Let's speed things up and go home. I am so tired I could fall asleep now!" I exclaimed.

"You would sleep in Everwood Forest?" he asked me in disbelief. "A risk taker you are." He said shaking his head.

I smiled as we flew and jumped even faster than before so excited to go back home. "I can just feel my bed now!" I said as we passed the halfway point of Everwood Forest.

"You know you can't go home until we deliver the three-leaf black clover to Tsunade-sama." He said.

"Ugh." I muttered. "I was wondering aren't the regular clovers three-leaves and the super hard to find ones are four leaves. Then why is the special super hard to find black clover three leaves instead of four?" I asked.

He shrugged. "I wouldn't know that I'm not a botanist." He said.

I laughed and then he started to laugh.

A/N: Please R&R. Anyway this is not the end! Just to let you know.
