"Please Stop!" Sakura begged and fell to her knees

The soft swaying of the grass beneath her seemed to stop, even the unending echo of the forest rested.

The sand clutching Sasuke's throat fell immediately and its master turned to Sakura's form. Gaara stared at Sakura, obeying her command.

Sand slithered back to his gourd as Sasuke choked and gathered his strength to stand.

"Sakura, let's go home" the sand master said so softly that it gave Sakura the courage to smile and register in her head the fact that their fight is over. She stood up and tried to stay put on her wobbly knees. Gaara walked to her like nothing happened, but behind them, a person is having his own world in his thoughts.

Sasuke stared at the two blankly. In his mind, he refuse to be beaten and to let Sakura be taken away from him. So his instincts made an impossible conclusion.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A low scream echoed in the forest. The birds flew away and trees sway as if they were moved by a storm. The soft aura vanished and a devastating event occurred without anyone's permission.

Sakura's hands are covering her mouth as tears begin to swell in the corners of her eyes. Right in front of her is Gaara-screaming in pain. He tried to move but Sasuke held his shoulder to tight while Sakura is just too shocked to react. The gourd slowly disintegrated like sand in to the floor.

Sasuke's teeth made contact with Gaara's flesh on his left shoulder. Blood seem to pour rapidly and Sasuke's face is covered with a different smirk- a smirk in which insanity seeps in.

Sakura's thought were lost, she thought that their fight is over; she thought that no one was harmed. And hope fades away when Gaara's body is slowly falling to unconsciousness.

Sasuke let his prey free and Gaara fell limp on Sakura's arms. The predator licked his lips and smirked so deadly, so like Orochimaru's. He is triumphant he thought, but little did he know that Sakura's world came crushing down.

She cried once again after five years, tears flowing freely on the side of her cheeks as she cradled Gaara's body.

"Gaara wake up! You're just asleep right! Gaara! You're just letting Shukaku take over right!" Sakura tried desperately to wake him, but she received no reply.

She stared accusingly at Sasuke, burning like fire, hatred boiling in the depths of her emerald eyes, "What did you do to him! What did you do to him Sasuke!"

Sasuke fell silent and hissed softly, "I took it all from him Sakura….his pastssss….his memoriessss….his life!"

Sakura heard him but she couldn't believe in what he said. Deep inside, she knew her heart is bleeding, melting, breaking into pieces…

He waited patiently for her reply, but she only gasped for air… she is about to tell him the truth….the whole complete, truth…granules of memories.

Indispensable granules of existence.
