Sorry For the Rushing! lAst cahpter of Book 1

We started off at midnight, me walking ahead, ignoring Naurto as he prattled along, discussing strategies. Sasuke walked close to me, and every time we touched it reminded me of how we climbed off each other and showered together. It was silent, and every time we touched he kissed me. I looked at him and he smirked, glancing away.

"Tell me how you know were Orchimuru will be again," Naurto asks.

"I told you, he has a so called secret base just south of the fire country. I over heard his goons speaking about it once, but he never told me. I'll bet he's there," I nodded, agreeing with Sasuke. Naurto walked ahead, mumbling something below his breath. We stayed like that, walking quietly toward Orchimuru's base for hours, being led over rugged roads and fields by Sasuke. It felt so much like the old days that I almost wanted to cry. But being team leader I didn't, in front of them. When we finally arrived the sun had already risen. In the weak light we could make out two men, standing guard next to a mound of dirt.

"There, inside the hill, that's were he will be," Sasuke whispered, crouching down next to me, pulling Naurto down next to us.

"I'll take care of them," Naurto whispers, leaving before either one of us can pull the idiot back. Sure enough though he scampers down, quietly sneaking up behind them and breaking there necks. It seems due to his dead lover Naurto felt no shame in killing the men responsible. He signals and I jump down, Sasuke following.

"He'll be with many guards, but many are weak, take then out quickly. Sakura, you go for Orchimuru, we'll keep them distracted,"

"I'm the one who gives orders," I bark at him. He looks at me expectantly, "alright, let's do Sasuke's plan," I whisper. He nods at me and Naurto winks before opening the hidden door. We jump in and gasp. We have landed directly in there main room. The one and only Snake man look at us, smirking.

"So, looks like little Sasuke has come back, but this time brought sweet Sakura and little Naurto along with him. I heard how you decapitated your brother Sasuke. Looks like you didn't need my help anyway. But just because you killed Itachi doesn't mean you can kill me too. Get them boys," his henchmen charge us and Sasuke nods to me. I know already the cursed seal is pounding his neck, but he is ignoring the pain. Good Sasuke, so noble.

I whip out my daggers, pinning the weak Orchimuru to the wall behind him. It's too easy and I know he has a trap. Sasuke runs to my side, as Naurto was easily handling the goons. Orchimuro smiles and before we can blink, disappears behind us, grabbing Sasuke's arms. He crashes down, grinding his teeth at the pain. His seal is pounding, and I can feel his chakra draining.

"Let him go, let him go you demon,"

"Why, do you care for the boy?"

"Let him go or I'll break you,"

"Break me, I don't think so, a little-" I have his neck, slicing the skin a little, watching blood trickle down.

"Wanna bet. Let him go NOW!"

"Hahaha, you love this boy. Sasuke, is this your women? Did you plan on spending the rest of your pitiful life with her? How adorable. To bad I have to end it. Besides, you obviously don't love this girl, you just want to start up your stupid pitiful clan anyway," I felt anger rising in my chest. My vision blurred and I feel nothing as he throws me into the awaiting arms of two goons. They have Naurto, pushed face first down in the dirt.

"Let the couple say they're good byes men, be humane!" He pushes our faces together, and I look into Sasuke's eyes.

"Waste him Sakura,"

"You promised to protect me,"

"You can protect your self,"

"SO he's right, I mean nothing to you!"

"No,"

"Then protect me!"

"Protect yourself!"

"You hate me!"

"I LOVE YOU!" I go numb and watch in despair as knifes are drawn across our necks. Tears fill my eyes and I can barely see reinforcements coming through the celieng. I crumple to floor and stare ahead, he loves me. ME. Orchimuru grips Sasuke's lifeless body and if my body wasn't falling down a dark hole, I would have screamed, unforchunelty my vision stops and everything goes black.

"He took Sasuke," Ino says bitterly

"There is nothing we can do anymore. That damn jerk saved Sakura by interfering with her attackers weapon. He basically risked his own life to move, cutting his own major vessels to push Sakura down, only slicing her," Naurto replies.

"It's his fault Orchimuru escaped,"

"Yes it's true, but we have him captive now,"

"2 weeks later, and he won't tell us where Sasuke is,"

"Then he's dead,"
