For those of you who complained about Naruto being Sakura's husband, I'M SORRY! I hate this pairing too but, if I don't put them together for now there is no way Sakura and Sasuke are going to meet and how will it be a SasuSaku fic then? So, please deal with it for now.
5:06 am
Phone rings.
"Hello?" Sakura answered the phone. "Oh, good morning, Kakashi." Sakura had stopped using the "Sensei" because she was now a jounin as well and hence Kakashi's equal, Naruto being the idiot he is still called him "Kakashi-sensei".
"Sakura, we have a mission. Meet me at the old place by the bridge."
"Okay!" She hung up the phone and told Naruto to get ready.
"Kakashi-sensei! What mission is so important you need to wake us up at five O'clock in the morning!" Naruto yelled at the top of his lungs when he saw the silver haired man. Kakashi clamped a hand over Naruto's mouth.
"Quiet this is an A class mission, I'll tell you when we get outside the village."
They quickly walked out of the village without a sound and moved quickly through the trees north. Kakashi suddenly threw a kunai at Naruto's face. Naruto dodged it by a hair leaving a small cut on his left cheek. Naruto fell into a small clearing. Kakashi stood about ten feet from him his stance tense.
"Ka-Kakashi-sensei, Why are you-" He was interrupted by Sakura.
"No, No way…Sasuke?" A maniacal smile spread across Kakashi's face
"Correct, you are, my little cherry blossom, you always were the best at identifying a genjutsu." Kakashi suddenly became a tall handsome raven haired man. He charged at Naruto and their kunai rang throughout the forest. Sasuke got his foot behind Naruto's and tripped him while slamming him into the ground, snapping Naruto's leg in two. Sakura stood unable to move, she was stunned that Sasuke was right in front of her eyes for the first time in eight years and he had only come to kill her and Naruto. Naruto shoved Sasuke off him with his good leg. He sat trying to recover, from being unable to move. Sasuke had a kunai in hand and threw it directly at Naruto's heart.
Clang.
Sakura stood, eyes hard and unfeeling, in front of Naruto, a kunai in her right hand.
"Sa-kura?" Questioned Naruto.
She charged at Sasuke her kunai meet his. Bodies tense, hands shaking with excitement of the battle. Sasuke swung his left hand into Sakura's stomach which she caught inches before it hit. Both hands unusable, Sasuke wrapped his right leg around Sakura's, bring them smashing to the ground, him on top of her.
"Well, you've certainly gotten stronger, Sakura." Sasuke breathed through clenched teeth.
"So have you." Sakura replied, her voice laced with poison.
We're too evenly matched. Naruto will get away if I don't hurry with Sakura. I need to get her to let her guard down, but how…!
Sasuke crushed his lips down on Sakura's, bruising them. Her eyes widened and her body tensed.
Why is Sasuke kissing me, I kind of want to kiss him back but, I'm over him now right?
He pried her lips open with force; she moaned the feel of his tongue caressing hers was unbearable. Sasuke felt her relax into the kiss and moved his left hand to the back of her neck pulling her even closer to him. A growl escaped his throat when he felt her entire body relax……….!
"A-Ah." Blood shot from his mouth as he felt a kunai slip from his back all the way through his body. Damn it, it backfired. I let my guard down! He turned and hit Naruto, his attacker, directly in the face sending Naruto flying. He ripped the kunai from his stomach, and ran through the forest at top speed.
"Sakura are you alright?" Naruto asked a hand extended to help her up. She gladly took it.
"Yes, thank you."
"You…still love him don't you?"
"Yes, but-"
"It's alright I knew this day would come, thank you, I hope your wish comes true." she turned to run after Sasuke. "Sakura!" She turned around. "You're going to need these." He held out a hand and gave her the bandages he kept with him.
"Thank you, Naruto!" She yelled as she ran out of his sight.
A raven haired man leaned one hand on a large tree. He saw the pieces of the rose Sakura had given him still lying there. Why did I break it? I broke Sakura's heart so many times as a child. Why did I break that? I'm so destructive. He tried to reach down and pick up the rose but fell face down in the light blanket of snow on the ground. He flipped over on his back and with the last of his strength picked up the pieces of the rose in his hand. It started to snow again as the snow flakes fell on him he recalled what the song was. It was a song his mother sang to him as a child.
"Let us make a…p-promise here and no-w. Let us make a promise…never to cry a-alone again." He spoke the words of the song. His head fell side ways into the snow. Funny, if I had realized the words earlier…I probably would have wished to be the most powerful man on earth, but now I wish I could see you one…more…time. A small tear formed in Sasuke's eye and gently slide down his cheek melting the snow as he closed his eyes. He felt small warm hands lift him up and gently pull him into an embrace. His eyes remain closed.
"Sasuke…why!" A warm tear fell on his cheek and his eyes flickered open. Above him he saw a soft sculpted face, distorted from tears.
"Sa-kura…?" Am I hallucinating? Or has my wish really been granted?
"Sasuke! You're alive!" No, hallucinations aren't warm; she really did grant my wish.
"Yeah, but not for long…" He looked down at the large wound. She took his right arm and put it around her holding his hand and got him to stand up using her as support.
"What are you doing?" She smiled.
"There's a cave just over there we can stay there for tonight." Once inside Sakura sat Sasuke down and pulled out her pack and had him take his shirt off so she could wrap the wound.
"There. That should stop the bleeding for now." She stood up and set the small amount of bandage left in the center of the cave. She picked up stones and set them in a ring to keep the fire contained. Then found small twigs and placed the in the center of the circle along with the bandage. She used a fire jutsu to light the small fire.
"Sasuke take your cloths off."
"What?"
"You were lying in the snow for awhile your cloths are soaked if you don't take your cloths off you'll catch hypothermia and die." She reached in her pack. "Here change into these." She handed him a black long sleeve shirt and long block pants. "I use them for stealth missions so they're extremely lose they should fit you." She walked to the entrance "I'm going to find something for us to eat, put your cloths on the rocks near the fire so they dry."
Okay it's like three in the morning so I need to stop here. I'll write more as soon as I can. Please review even If you're going to flame me.
