Sakura's POV
-----
I awoke as I heard something, or possibly someone, tap my shoulder gently. I sprung back to reality, and found a pair of nearly invisible eyes looking at me. I found myself in darkness, but for some reason, I could sense someone looking at me. I longed to know who it was, and sighed. Then, a flash of light came, and I was blinded for moments. I saw those nearly invisible eyes turn into gentle onyx orbs, and found the face close to mine. I jumped up in shock, but was scratched by a few kunai. I felt pain in my shoulder, and found a senbon jutting out from it. I began to wince in pain, and his strong hands pulled out the senbon. He looked at me with a concerned expression I have never seen before, and then he smiled.

"I'm sorry Sakura. I didn't mean to surprise you," He said.

I laughed, and shook my head.

"No, it's okay. If you get me out of these ropes...I can heal myself," I said.

I was surprised as he told me no, and just ripped off some of his shirt and bound it tightly around my shoulder. I immediately understood, and smiled at him, grateful for stopping the bleeding.

"Sasuke-kun, what are you doing here?" I asked, curiosity overwhelming me.

He laughed at my being so direct at him, but then let out a sigh. I didn't take that sigh as a good one. He sat down on the floor with me, and was lost in thought for a few seconds.

"I'm not supposed to be here...Orochimaru's going to be furious if he knows I've been out...I just...wanted to see you. That's all."

I felt my cheeks heat up, and knew they were turning a tomato red.

"O-oh..." I said, unable to bring myself to say anything else.

He smiled at me, and was very cautious of his surroundings. I immediately understood that he was making sure that Itachi would not figure out he had been here with me.

"I'm sorry I can't untie you. I know it's painful for you," He said.

I nodded in acceptance of his apology, and a small smile crept onto my face. It wasn't a real smile though - it was half happiness, and half sorrow.

"Nothing can compare to the pain in---" I was interruped by Sasuke.

"In your heart right?" He asked.

I nodded in agreement, and continued.

"Yes...the pain in my heart."

He just looked at me, and I saw him frown.

"It's me, isn't it? I caused you all of that pain, right?"

I looked deep into his onyx eyes, and if my hands weren't tied, I would have cupped his face in my hands. I smiled at him, this time a real smile, and nodded.

"Yes, you caused me pain...you shattered my heart into pieces," I said, and paused, as I saw him look away in shame, but I just gave him another smile, and continued, "But that night you left, you took my heart away with you. I knew that it was nearly impossible for you to come back, but I still waiting for you with open arms, no matter how much pain you caused me. But...after I saw you, I realized that no matter what, I would always, always love you, even if you killed me...but you've brought my heart back, and...I'm grateful. Somehow, I just feel that destiny keeps bring us back together."

I blushed ten shades of red, and saw his cheeks turn a very faint pink. I giggled, as I've never seen Sasuke-kun blush before, or show any emotion for that matter. He jolted in a direction, and sighed.

"Someone's coming, Sakura."

I nodded as I understood.

"Bye then, Sasuke-kun. Grow stronger, okay?"

"Wait."

I looked at him with a confused look on my face. We covered everything we had to, right? So...why did I have to wait? He'd be put in danger if he was caught. Then, all my thoughts were cut off, as he pecked my lips. We both blushed to a tomato red, and I smiled.

"Bye, Sakura."

"I love you, Sasuke-kun."

He smiled at me, then disappeared. Then, I was brought back into the nothingness. But it didn't feel so bad this time. I had a part of Sasuke-kun with me.
Even if destiny wills me to die, I will always die for Sasuke-kun...it'll bring us back, and everything will heal.
