Thanks for the reviews! Okay well here's Chapter 4.
Chapter 4
Sasuke slowly opened his eyes as he felt hot droplets of liquid flowing down his cheeks. He looked up and saw that the droplets belonged to Sakura. She was crying. He turned his head and saw the kunai sticking half way out of the ground. It was millimeters away from his face. Sakura's hand was still holding it tightly. She suddenly began to laugh bitterly and caught Sasuke's attention, she was still crying though.
"Heh, looks like you still have a place in my heart." She laughed out painfully.
Sakura looked so sad. It's as if she doesn't want to love me anymore. Sasuke thought. Her expression was killing him. He didn't want her to be like this. Sakura got off of Sasuke and faced Itachi. Sasuke just got up and looked at her.
"You didn't live up to the deal Sakura. Too bad, but I will enjoy killing you and your family." Snickered Itachi.
"Itachi, let me tell you something. You can make me do anything but can't make me kill, especially him. You can kill me if you want but you will not kill my parents. I didn't swear that you could take my parents life I said you could take mine. You can find me later but I'm off." And with that she focused chakra on her feet and ran towards the south leaving the two brothers alone. (AN: I think once people vowed they have to live up to it.)
"Foolish girl but smart. I shall enjoy killing just her then. She sacrificed her life for another. This, I don't understand." Itachi said shaking his head.
"Itachi..." Sasuke's chakra was rising in anger. His fists were clenched together so tightly that the knuckles were turning white.
"Angry Sasuke? Don't worry I'll end it soon. I won't spare you like last time." Smirked Itachi arrogantly.
"No Itachi it's not you who will do the sparing, this time... This time it will be me!" Then he lunged at Itachi.
Sakura arrived at the cliff and saw Gaara beside her parents now conscious.
"Let them go Gaara."
"Who said?" asked Gaara looking at Sakura with arrogance.
"I said, that's what." Sakura seethed.
"Coming to get your butt kicked-again? I still remember our last encounter." Gaara recalled.
"I was young and weak during our last encounter. I changed!" Sakura then got into fighting stance challenging him.
"Sakura! Go save yourself!" yelled her mom.
"Leave us!" shouted her dad.
"Look, even your parents think you'll lose! I highly doubt that you changed!" said Gaara smirking.
"Save the heroic acts mom and dad. I can take on this guy, he will be sorry!" Sakura shouted back.
"Oh? We'll see. Bring it!" Then Gaara too got into fighting stance.
Both warriors ran towards each other holding kunais at each other. Gaara at first went easy on Sakura since she was, a girl. But then the fight got more intense and he was forced to fight seriously. Man, this girl really had changed! But nothing I can't handle. She still hasn't do any kind of jutsu yet, tisk only punches and kicks won't win. Better as well finish this.
Gaara got out his gourd of sand and conjured a technique called Desert Graveyard. Instantly the sand on the ground began to shift. (Pretend there is a lot of sand! ;D) The sand coiled around Sakura and began to constrict her. "SAKURA!" called Sakura's mom. She was crying. Her husband was on the verge of tears and watched helplessly.
Sasuke was doing the lion combo managing to sometimes hit Itachi, but then Itachi attacked back. Most of Itachi's attack was a full blow but Sasuke was so mad that he didn't care and fought on. First he kicked and punched which Itachi blocked. Sasuke then used Rock Lee's Konoha Repuu, to send the Itachi towards the sky. He then jumped after the flying ninja, and places himself beneath Itachi preparing to do, Kage Buyou but failed since Itachi was too quick.
"So little brother, you've gotten better." Commented Itachi. He was slightly bleeding but nevertheless he ran towards Sasuke with great speed and punched him hard in the stomach then kicked him, sending Sasuke flying across and resulted in hitting a tree. "But I will be always one step ahead of you!" said Itachi preparing for his final attack. Sasuke staggered up and saw Itachi coming towards him. Sasuke then summoned all his chakra and did the technique Chidori. This attack was shown by Kakashi. Sasuke placed his hands in a position crossing them, palms toward Itachi. Then chakra was gathered in enormous amounts in his hands. Blue electricity formed in Sasuke hand, he then ran towards Itachi also in great speed; once near him, Sasuke ducked Itachi's attack and the lightning ball was plunged in Itachi's heart.
Itachi staggered back clutching his heart then fell. He was dead and Sasuke finally had his revenge. Sasuke then too fell to the ground not dead but unconscious.
Sakura's body was in pain and she quickly gathered her chakra in her fist and punched the ground causing an earthquake. The sand began to shift and Sakura saw her chance. She lunged towards Gaara and tried to punch him in the heart but missed only to have punched him in his arm. It was a full blow however and Gaara was flung backwards and fell down the cliff.
"Sakura!" shouted her mother. Sakura quickly untied her parents and hugged them. "I-I was so scared!" "We almost lost you!" quivered her parents. "Its okay, don't worry. You see I can handle myself! There is a village nearby just 10 minutes from here down the east. Go there and rest." Sakura commanded.
"But-But what about you?" asked her mom.
"I need to stay for a while I'll be back." Lied Sakura sadly. (She doesn't know that Itachi had already been killed.)
"Okay, we believe in you Sakura." Called out her father leading her mother away.
"I love you Sakura!" said her mother then left.
"I love you too..." Just then she heard a grunt on the side of the cliff and she went to see what it was. It was Gaara, he was holding onto a branch with one arm with difficulty since his other arm was virtually useless after Sakura's attack.
"Here, Gaara." Sakura called climbing down the cliff and grabbed hold of his hand. She then hulled him up and climbed up herself. "Why did you-" began Gaara.
"Because it's not your fault. You were just following orders and I forgive you." Explained Sakura. "Go now and get that healed."
"I thank you. I will be in dept of you." Gaara gave Sakura a nod then left. Sakura went by the lake and sat on a tree waiting for her death. "She didn't have any regrets."
"Hi, Itachi." Sakura said without looking at the person behind her. She had sensed chakra and suspect it was him. "What makes you think Itachi could defeat me?" said the male voice that was way different then Itachi's. Sakura jerked around and saw Sasuke covered in blood. "Sasuke!" she said obviously surprised then she jumped down and walked towards him.
Sasuke smirked then went to the lake and plunged his wound in the water. (The most serious injury was in the arm so he took care of that first.) Sakura followed him and watched him. In a few minutes she found herself healing Sasuke's wounds. "Did you kill him?" asked Sakura gently.
"Yes, did you find your parents?" he asked.
"Yes, and I also fought with Gaara." Replied Sakura saying nothing more.
"You fought him? Did he die?" he asked the question incredulously.
"No he did not die I spared him."
They were silent for a long time until Sakura finished healing him. Sasuke nodded his thanks and looked at the night scenery apparently in deep thought. Sakura sat beside him and looked at the scenery too. "I'm sorry." Said Sasuke suddenly. Sakura looked at him in shock. Was he actually apologizing? "I'm sorry for making you suffer all these years." He said standing up, still looking at the scenery.
"Sasukeā¦" Sakura said in a very quiet voice and before she could stop herself she got up hugged him. Sasuke widened his eyes but then wrapped his hands around Sakura and hugged her back. Sakura looked at Sasuke, her hands still around him. "I'm sorry too. For almost killing you back there."
"It's okay." Grinned Sasuke. Sakura smiled and kissed him. (0000) The kiss was broken by Sakura. Sasuke smiled, an actual smile and kissed her back.
