Writers note: Hehe.. thought I'd put this in. My first fanfic. Please review.


Pink locks flew behind her back dressed in red and white. Her emerald orbs was set on one thing, a bad ninja. She bit her lip as she lifted herself into the air, and kicked the ninja's stomach. The ninja stumbeled to the ground; it was a suprise attack.

"Wha?" he said, his covered head held amazmet. Sakura dodged the spear the ninja tried to dart at her. Sakura felt a sharp pain in her side, a single, small dagger had gotten her. She bit her lip so hard, that a drop of blood went down her chin. The ninja punched her face, leaving a large bruise. Sakura was more than angry, even worse. She ran to the ninja, then got her ninja star, then stabbed it in his stomach. The ninja tried to attack by kicking her, but Sakura stopped him and gripped his leg, and hurled into his face.

"In your face," she said, the ninja running away in fear. Sakura held her side, and yanked out the dagger. She felt her lip, it was bleeding. She tried to remember if there were any lodges or houses and such around here. Why had she accepted to do an A-ranked mission? She tried to reduce the pain by leaning against a baobab tree. She closed her eyes, thinking of what had just happened. She held her side, it ached badly, and blood was escaping her body quickly.

"Mmph!" Sakura exclaimed, she felt herself being tied to the tree. The ninja would never give up, he had to kill her.

Sasuke was not to far away, and heard a knife sharpening.

Sakura heard a dagger being a sharpened behind her, quickly. The ninja held the dagger to her neck, he could kill her any moment.

Sasuke ran, and saw Sakura's innocent eyes holding great fear and worry. He saw the blade touch her neck, and soon kicked the ninja in the stomach, knockin gout the ninja's breath. He untied the weak Sakura, and carried her bridal fashion to an abandoned house.

He locked all the doors and windows, to be safe. He placed Sakura on a nearby bed, trying to see if she was alright. He took off one of his arm cuffs, and placed it on Sakura's side. He bit his lip, Sakura was dying.

Sakura was at the door of death. She opened her eyes, then said weakly, "Sasuke, I'm at death's door, if I leave, say good-bye.."

"Dont say that!" Sasuke said, putting his finger on her lips.

Sakura was suprised, Sasuke usaully hated her, for she was 'annoying' as he said.

"I-I'm sorry," Sakura said, tears gathering in her eyes. She tried to not cry, a ninja could not be in this manner.

"For what?" Sasuke said, now kneeling by Sakura.

"Annoying you all the time," she said, closing her eyes.

"I-I didnt?" her frail voice echoed.

"No, I enjoyed it, I enjoy hearing your beautiful voice, like a bird's," Sasuke said, smiling.

Sakura blushed; she was amazed, and dazzeled.

"R-Really?" she said.

Sasuke nodded, and a rare but very handsome smile washed over his white face.

Sakura managded a smile. Sasuke leaned over her, and hugged her. He wanted her to feel safe, and not in fear and worry like she had.

"My Blossom," Sasuke said, kissing her forehead.

"I thought-" Sakura said.

"Hush. I've had a crush on you ever since we've met," he said, still hugging her.

Sakura smiled, and lifted her arm weakly, and hugged him back.

"I hope you'll be alright," Sasuke said, smiling, and pushing back her pink hair.

"Me too," she spoke.

"You'd better get some sleep," Sasuke said.

Sakura nodded.

"Alright, Sasuke," she said, and with that, she closed her eyes and drifted off.

Sasuke slept by her, on the floor. He had taken a few pillows from the couch, and a blanket.
