Hi people! First I would like to say thank you for the reviews! Next, I would like to say that I'm sorry about not upadting yesterday. My chapter was written on a floppy and apparently the stupid computer couldn't work right and made error noises when ever I put it in. I had to restart this chapter. From now on I'm saving it on the computer. So here is the next chapter. R&R please!

Disclaimer: I don't even know what this means but I don't own Naruto.

"Blah" Some ones talking.

'Blah' Some ones thinking.

'Blah' a peice of a flashback.

Here is the chapter!


Sakura tossed and turned in her sleep. Sasuke watched as she moved around. He couldn't wake her up. He knew what would happen if he would. 'She would just push me away.' he thought. 'She can wake me up from my nightmares but I can't do the same to her.' He tried to catch a glimpse of her face. 'Why are you so emotionless Sakura?' he thought. 'People care so much about you.' Sasuke watched as she continued to move around. He saw as she finally faced him. Her face was pale like usual and her face seemed wet. She was crying unnoticed tears this whole time. Sasuke stood up. 'I won't let her suffer like this.' he thought. 'No one can live the way she can. Sakura deserves more then this. She deserves to be happy.' Sasuke pulled her close to him. He shook her shoulders.

"Wake up Sakura," he said. Sakura opened her jade green emotionless eyes. 'He looks so much like him.' she thought. Sakura realized that she was in his grasp. Then, without expecting it, he hugged her.

"Let go," she said coldly. Sasuke did not pay attention. He kept his strong grasp around her. "Let go," she repeated.

"No," he said. Sakura glared at him. 'Why?' she thought. 'Why can't you just let me be? Is that too much to ask for?' She shut her eyes as if she was in pain. 'Leave me be!' her mind yelled. Sakura used as much strength she could muster and pushed him away from her.

"Leave me be!" she yelled. He stared at her. She shut her eyes in pain. All the memories filled in her mind.

"You are mine cherry blossom."

"Sakura?" Sasuke asked. He walked closer to her. She moved away. 'Stop haunting me! I know what happened in the past. Just leave me alone!' her mind yelled. She clenched her hair. "Sakura!" Sasuke nearly yelled. He walked even closer to her. She continued to move away.

"Stop it!" she yelled. "Leave me alone! Is that too much to ask? I just want to be alone!" Sakura opened her eyes. She stared at Sasuke's face and glared. He was just like him. 'I push you away and you come back. I yell and hurt you and yet you still help me. Why?' Sasuke moved closer to her. "Stop," she said coldly. Sasuke seemed used to this tone of voice. Her glare was some thing he hated though, especially if it was for him.

"Sakura?" he asked. She glared harder. Sakura stood up while Sasuke was still on the cold floor. Most of Sakura's home was cold. It was remarkable that she didn't get sick. It was like if she was dead, and had no means for warmth at all.

"Shut up," she said. It was clear to say that she was pissed off. "I want you to leave me alone." she looked down at him, never wanting to see his face at all. "I hate you Sasuke. Why? You ruined my life. I want you out!" it was remarkable she didn't use her skills to kick him here and now. Sakura walked out of the room and to the house door. She stood there, waiting. "Well?" she asked. "Get up and go." Sasuke obeyed her orders. Sakura waited till he walked out of the apartment. She closed the door with a huge 'slam.'


Sakura and Sasuke walked through the streets of Kohona. Sasuke walked a little bit away from Sakura, fearing her angry mood. It was already crowed in Kohona. Many people walked and talked, shopped etc.. There was a sudden stir, it seemed as if there was an earthquake. Sakura stopped and so did Sasuke. They knew who it was. Sakura glared at the direction where they were coming from. Suddenly, the two were surrounded by a bunch of fan boys waiting to see their beautiful Sakura.

"Sakura-chan!" they yelled. Sakura glared at them. 'Kami-sama!' she thought. 'Leave me the fuck alone!' Sasuke watched quietly. "Please go out with us Sakura-chan!" they yelled. Sakura shut her jade green eyes.

"No," she said coldly. "I have said this many times before, no." Sakura opened her eyes. They were full of anger. "So leave me the fuck alone!" the club moved back a bit from fear. They had never seen their Sakura-chan like this, ever. Sure she would be annoyed by them but that would just be it. "One more fan boy I see will be six feet under! Is that clear?" the fan boys gulped and moved back even more.

"H-hai," they said. They began to walk away. Scratch that. They were running like hell! Sakura turned around. 'Finally.' she thought. 'Some peace and quiet. Hopefully.'

"Nice way to get rid of them Sakura," they heard some one say. Sakura knew who that was. She turned around. It was him. Thank go he was here.

"Whatever Sai," she said. Sai smirked. He walked up to her, ignoring Sasuke. Sasuke just watched to see what was going on. The man seemed to look like him self. 'Wait!' he thought. 'Don't tell me he's another fan bo and not Sakura's but mine?' Sasuke widened his eyes in horror. 'Oh fuck no!' he thought. 'I'm not having a gay man close to me at all!' Sakura walked up to Sai as well. "So," she began. "What have you been up to?"

"Nothing much," he said. "Did you kick the Uchiha's ass for me?" he asked. Sakura gave a small nod. Sasuke growled. 'Not to self.' he thought. 'Kill the stalker guy.' He turned to Sasuke. No wonder people mistook him as Sasuke! He looked almost like him. 'Just great.' Sai thought. 'I might have another stalker.' Sai released a small sigh. "So is this the guy who people mistake me as?" he asked. Sakura nodded again. "Holy shit," Sai said. "I'm not gay!"

"So ain't I!" Sasuke yelled. "You stalker!" Sakura watched this and rubbed her temples. Some thing told her that she was really going to need a pain killer today.

"Any way," Sai said, turning his attention back to Sakura. "Where are you going?" he asked. Sakura stared at them her cold eyes met his normal ones. He was used to those eyes. It was because of him. He made her that way and Sai couldn't stop it. He tried to save Sakura but failed. He would do any thing to get her back. Sai knew he could never be with her. The result would be death, her death and he could not stand that. He just wanted her back. Sai would protect her till the end and he would do any thing to make her truly happy.

"I need to go to Tsuande's office," she said. Sakura seemed to be very nice to Sai. He was her best friend after all. He kept her secret, her truth, her pain and he supported her whenever she really needed it. He knew what had happened. She had her freedom taken away just for the parents that abandoned her.

"There's no missions for today," he said. Sakura shook her head. He rose a brow. "What?"

"I don't need to go there for missions," she said. "I need to take care of him. I can't take it any more. I really have to get rid of him." Sai eyed Sasuke. Sasuke growled. 'What the fuck is she trying to do!' he thought. 'Make me sound like a kid!'

"Does my ears deceive me?" Sai asked. He was grinning a bit. "Did the Sakura say that she can't handle some thing?" Sakura put her hands in front of her and her eyes relaxed.

"Your point?" she asked. "I'm human you know and there are some things that I can't even do." Sai gave a small nod.

"True," he said. "Well, let's get going. You never know when Tsunade might be busy." Sakura gave a small nod. "By the way," Sai began. "Why can't you handle the Uchiha?" he asked. Sasuke gave his full attention to her answer.

"Let's just say that he can't control himself," Sakura said with her emotionless voice. Sai turned to Sasuke and glared at him. It was a huge death glare.

"Dickless wonder," he said. Sasuke twitched at that name. "What did you do to her?" Sasuke was about to answer but Sakura beat him to it.

"Let's not discuss this," she said. Sai hesitated but nodded. The three continued to walk. Sai stood between the two. He wouldn't want Sasuke to touch Sakura at all now. It was quiet until...

"Forehead girl! Sasuke-kun! Basterd!" they heard some one yelled. Sakura and Sai knew who it was. Only one person called Sakura forehead girl even if she didn't have a big forehead any more. Sasuke had one guess. Ino. He knew only one person who called Sakura forehead girl. Ino came running to them. Her beautiful blue eyes were shining like the sun and her hair was long and sparkling with her blonde like color.

"Hi Ino," Sai said. Sakura gave a small nod. Ino walked up to the three. She gave them all a beautiful smile. Sai twitched. Sakura had no comment while Sasuke was like 'oh fuck.'

"So I was right!" she said. She stared at Sasuke. "The great Sasuke-kun is back!" she turned to Sakura. Her face described every thing. "And your not happy about it."

"Your point?" Sakura asked. "Your not happy either." Ino's smile went down a bit. "So why are you here? Don't you have engagement plans with Shikamaru." Ino blushed a bit. "Aren't you his bride to be?" Ino grew redder at this. Sasuke would have given a small sigh of relief. 'One fan girl down at least.' he thought.

"You do have a point forehead girl," she said. "I just came here to see if the rumors are true and apparently they are. Sasuke-kun is back." Ino stared at the near by clock. "Gotta go now!" she said. "It was nice seeing you Sasuke-kun, forehead girl and you too basterd." Ino quickly left leaving a twitching Sai, a quite Sakura and a relived Sasuke.

"Can we go now?" Sai asked. Sakura nodded. The three once again went towards Tsunade's office, in the same order.


Sakura, Sai and Sasuke walked into Tsunade's office. The hokage looked up at her papers. There was bottles of sake every were and paper work. Sakura sat down on a chair to the left of Tsunade and Sai sat on the right side of Tsunade on the chair while Sasuke, having no where to sit, leaned against a wall and watched.

"What would you like Sakura?" Tsunade asked.

"Him out," Sakura said. Those two reads meant one thing and that was to get rid of Sasuke.

"I cannot do that Sakura," Tsunade said. "You have to except the fact that he has to live with you." Sakura glared a bit and shut her eyes. "This is his punishment Sakura."

"And it sounds like mine," Sakura said. She opened her eyes again. Sai watched this with complete amusement. Sasuke watched this as well, clearly annoyed. "Just get him away from me."

"No can do Sakura," Tsunade said. Sakura glared even more and got up. She walked out and Sai followed her. Sasuke was about to go but "Stay here Sasuke," Tsunade said. Sasuke did as he was told and and sat down on the chair.


"Are you sure you want to go back now?" a man asked. The other nodded.

"I have to get my cherry blossom you know," he said. "She is mine and it is a pity to make her wait." the other man sighed. "My darling cherry blossom. I hope you didn't disobey me." the other man sighed again. 'I hope so too.' he thought. 'This girl seems special and we can't let her get hurt, physically of course.

"Shall I go now?" the man asked.

"Yes," he said. "I'll be back with my cherry blossom soon." the man quickly disappeared. The man looked at the village of Kohona. It seemed peaceful. Too peaceful. He closed his eyes for a moment. "Finally," he said. "I can see her. I believe she has grown up already. She won't be out of my grasp any longer." he opened his eyes and stared at the sky. It seemed gray, as if it was about to rain. "Even the sky tells me I can get her today." the man looked at the village once more. "My cherry blossom."


Sakura sat down on a nearby chair. Sai stood right next to her. He knew that she was seriously pissed. Sakura suddenly felt a tingle down her spine. 'It can't be.' she thought. Sakura's eyes widened. 'Why now? I thought he might just leave me alone!'

"You are mine and only mine."

"Sakura?" Sai asked. "He bent down to see her face. 'He's back! He's back! I can't let him hurt any one again.' she thought. Sakura felt fear rush through her. 'Why now!'

"Sakura?" Sai asked again. He saw that look in her eyes. His own eyes widened. 'It can't be!' he thought.


"Why did you ask me to stay?" Sasuke asked. Tsunade looked down at her desk and then to Sasuke.

"You have completed one out of your three punishments," she said. "But the last one is the difficult one. I hope that you were working on it." Sasuke looked up. 'Of course I did!' he thought. 'I would have done it even if you didn't ask!'

"So?" he asked.

"Save her," Tsunade said. "Find out about her past and solve it. I know some thing happened. She just said that her parents left her but I think that there is more to it." Sasuke gave a small nod and got up.

"Is that it?" he asked. Tsunade nodded. He got up.

"Good luck Sasuke," she said.


"He's coming back isn't he?" Sai asked. Sakura gave a nod. Her eyes were filled with fear. She didn't want at face him at all. "Sakura," Sai said. "We have to hide you! I can't let him take you like that!" Sakura shook her head.

"I can't Sai," Sakura said. Sai bit his lower lip. "He will find me any way. I will just have to face him." she looked up at him. "Besides, he might hurt you again of worse, a lot of people." Sai bent down a bit more. His face was close to Sakura's.

"I can't stand to see you like this Sakura," he said. He wanted to taste her lips again so badly. He wanted to be with her. That of course can never happen. He wanted her to be happy but not used. He pulled his face closer. "I won't let him do this to you."

"You will have to Sai," she said. "I'll be alright. I can endure a lot of pain and you know it." he pulled his face even closer. His lips were inches away from hers. She could feel a hot breath on her lips all the way down to her neck. 'I can't Sai.' she thought. "This is what I have to do."

"I know," he said. He clenched his fists. "I just wish that you didn't." he was about to kiss her like in the past. The door to Tsunade's office opened and Sasuke came out. Sai moved his face back up and stood a little bit away from her. 'It's time.' she thought. 'I will just have to accept fate.'


"It's time for me to get her," the man said. There was a smirk played on his lips. He held some thing in his hand. A ring with a symbol on it. "After all these years." he began to walk to Kohona. "I can't wait to see her after all these years and..." his voice drifted off. 'I won't let her escape.' he thought. 'I will do any thing by force to get what I want.' he continued to walk down, just wasting some of his time. "You are mine and always mine."


So how was this chapter? PLease review. I know I added some SaiSaku but she doesn't like him that way. You probably think that Sakura is a bit harsh in this chapter right. Sorry about that. This is the last update for the week. I will update on Monday and I promise that I won't use a floppy disk again! goodbye for now!
