Author's Note: I know my grammar sucks, I have been out of school for nearly a year now, I just got over a lot of emotional and physical damage that school caused me, so bear with me. I do thank you for pointing out the flaws of the story though. I don't mind the criticism. Thank you. Freebird22259.

Ch. 18: Wishes Can't Come True…

"Sakura, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry I wasn't there."

Sasuke sat by her hospital bed crying. She still wasn't awake and it had been about a week. If Sasuke had been looking up, he would have seen her fingers twitch. Sakura slowly opened her eyes and blinked a few times. As soon as her eyes adjusted she looked down at the man beside her.

"Sakura, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you, this is all my fault." He continued to cry, soaking her bed sheets where tears landed.

"No it isn't." she said in a raspy voice.

"Yes, it….Sakura?"

"Yes, who did you expect? Naruto?"

"SAKURA! I can't believe you're finally awake!"

"Why? How long have I been asleep?"

"A….week."

"A WEEK! SHIT! That means the school is going to open back up tomorrow."

"Yeah. I'm so glad you're awake Sakura."

He leaned in and pulled her into a kiss, but she froze. As soon as he felt her body go stiff, he let go and sat back in his chair. She looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry Sakura, that was too soon."

"No, it's not that."

"What is it?"

"Look behind you."

"What?"

He slowly turned around and saw Ino, Tenten, Hinata, Naruto, and Neji. What surprised him was that even Neji was crying. They all ran up to her and gave her a huge hug.

"Sakura I can't believe you're finally awake." said Hinata.

"Shikamaru wanted to be here, but his parents wanted him to spend some time with them before they left for a year."

"I understand Ino. Aww Neji, are you crying for me?"

"No, I have something in my eye….yes."

"I'm sorry we can't stay longer Sakura-chan, the nurses won't let us stay in here for more than 5 minutes."

"It's okay Tenten, I understand. I'll see you guys tomorrow at school."

"Can you really think about school after all you have gone through?"

"Yes, Naruto, I can."

"Bye Sakura-chan!" said everybody but Sasuke.

"Bye!"

As soon as the door closed, Sakura thought about the school.

Flashback

Sakura was walking down the hall, when she smelled smoke. She ran into the room where the smoke was coming from, only to find that the teacher and six other students had passed out. The curtains were on fire in the back room and Sakura was frantically trying to get them out of there. The fire had spread to the front of the room where the teacher was. She was shielding him from the fire, and in the process the back of her clothes got singed. She was finally able to get them all in the hallway and apply CPR to the teacher, who had stopped breathing. As soon as he came to, he pulled the fire alarm. Everybody scurried out of the building, including the teacher, leaving Sakura and six unconscious students behind. She ran into the next room and pulled down the giant flag that the teacher had pinned up to the wall. When she he put everybody onto the flag, she started dragging in towards the exit. The fire was catching up quickly and Sakura was beginning to tire. She finally got to the exit to find that it was locked.

"Shit, I'll have to break it down."

She kicked the metal door, which flew off it's hinges. The students looked at where the door used to be and started to whisper.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!" screamed the teacher that Sakura saved.

"That…was me." said Sakura coming out of the building with the six students on the flag.

As soon as she got them to safety, she collapsed.

"I had to kick the damn door down because after I saved your sorry ass, you left me with six unconscious students, who are now not breathing. I nearly burned my clothes off trying to save you, and you run off and leave me? WHAT THE HELL WHERE YOU THINKING!"

With new found strength, Sakura got up, went over to the teacher, and punched him so hard, he flew across the courtyard.

"Now, if someone will be so kind as to help me perform CPR on these students, I'll be eternally grateful."

Sasuke, Ino, Neji, Tenten, Hinata, Naruto, Shikamaru, and Neji rushed forward. Sasuke went to Sakura, Shikamaru went to make sure the teacher was okay and when he found out he was, he kicked him in the side (My own humor, J), and the rest rushed to bring the students back to life.

"Sakura?" said Sasuke.

End Flashback

"Sakura?"

"Hmm?"

"Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine. I was just thinking about what happened at school."

"Sakura, I'm sorry. I wish that I had never gone with Naruto. I should have been there. I…it was my fault."

"Stop it, Sasuke. It wasn't your fault. You didn't tell them that I was alone."

"No, I didn't. When I was coming back, I saw Lee and Orochimaru. I didn't think anything of it, but I did kill Lee. He was talking about you, I couldn't hear the conversation. I just went crazy and killed him, I'm glad I did though."

Flashback

"Sakura was a good…"

"I'LL KILL YOU, LEE!"

"AHHHH! NO! HELP ME OROCHIMARU!"

"Sorry, Lee, I have to go now. I'll leave you to die in my place."

"Wha…" Lee had started to ask, but was effectively cut off when a kunai was pushed into his throat and pulled up. Blood gushed out of his large wound as Sasuke jerked the weapon out of his throat. Lee was till alive and conscious.

"I don't know what you were planning, but now you won't be able to do it."

Lee looked around him to see if anybody was going to help him, but Sasuke shoved a kunai through his eye and into his brain. Sasuke pulled out the kunai and wiped the blood off of it with Lee's shirt and walked away.

End Flashback

"Sasuke?"

"Hn?"

"Did you hear what I said?"

"No, sorry, I was thinking about how I killed Lee."

"How did you kill Lee?"

"Are you sure you want to know that?"

"…Yes"

"I shoved a kunai through his throat, pulled it up and out, and then shoved it through his left eye and into his brain."

"Oh….okay."

"Are you sure you want to go back to school tomorrow?"

"Yes. I just need to sign the papers so I can go back to my house."

"No you don't. You're gong to come live with me. I don't think it's safe for you to be alone."

"You're probably right, I just need to go back to my house and get my things. I'll have to leave my Aunt a note. I doubt she'll be home for a few more months though."

Sakura signed the release forms and got dressed in the outfit that Ino had brought her for when she woke up.

"GAH! I LOOK LIKE A SLUT! HOW COULD INO PICK THIS OUT OF MY CLOSET!"

"It can't be that bad. Come out of the bathroom and let me see."

"No."

"Sakura…"

"NO!"

"Sakura, don't make me come in there."

"Fine."

Sakura walked out of the bathroom wearing a short black skirt that just barely covered her ass, a light pink tank top that came just above her bellybutton, and a pair of black boots that came halfway up her calf. Sasuke looked at her and could feel himself responding.

'No….no, must not think about how hot she looks. She's off limits for a while. Must look away.' 'NO! She looks so hot in that. You can see her perfect mounds and ass.' 'Hentai! She's off limits with all she's been through.' 'Right, forgot about that.'

"Sasuke, are you ready to go?"

"Yeah. Let's go get your things."

They walked out of the hospital and made there way to Sakura house. They didn't know what awaited them when the walk through the door.

Author's Note: I left it on a cliffy. I just got my first flame review, but I don't really care. I like my story. They thought it was too rushed, but they only read to chappie #4. I told them to keep reading because there was the twist that all my loyal reviewers already read. I hope you guys like my next twist. MWUHAHA! Freebird22259
