Sakura's dream

It was raining. On their final gathering, silver liquid drops pounded with no mercy. And the wind howled viciously. They reunited on a cold barren field.

He was there. Naruto-kun. He was there. Orochimaru. He was there. Uchiha Itachi. All those three laid in front her..dead. The sight was unbearable. Yet there he stood, staring at her. Sasuke-kun. He observed her helplessly attempting to sort her chakra on to Naruto's bloody chest as it stormed harder. She worked with such determination on her knees. The Uchiha was able to make out her tears from the rain but felt no need to pity her. Repeatedly and repeatedly, she steadily tried. She probably knew it was of no use, but it would have been worse just to give up. The chakra only rebounded.

Foolish woman Sasuke thought. It's no use.

"Sakura" Sasuke spoke politely, yet cruel.

Her eyes lingered at Itachi's dead body and then shifted to Orochimaru's. Then she looked down at Naruto's dead body.

I can't believe it…Naruto, you're actually dead.

She suddenly started shouting such horrific screams along with her tears. "You promised me!" she chanted "You said that you'd never die until after you become Hokage! Wake up!!"

Sakura had arrived momentarily afterward the battle ended. As soon as she located where Naruto had been, she immediately broke into tears. Not knowing any details of what occurred to him, she had stood there...unafraid the tears she cried.

Sakura didn't pay any attention to Sasuke, even though she knew he stood right there watching her treat Naruto desperately.

No pulse. More rain.

"Sakura" Sasuke repeated coldly. "It's no use. Stop trying"

No pulse. She kept trying. Her ambition was starting to annoy him.

"Just stop it already!" he hollered "He's dead!"

So she stopped and only cried even more. Blood everywhere. Naruto's blood everywhere. His blood stained on Sakura's clothes. Sasuke drew his sword.

"Run" he commanded. "It's all over now. Go back to Konoha and never look out for me—again" She looked up lamely at him. He was so..strong. It frightened her a for a moment. For a seventeen year old, his skills were practically impossible to outdo. But she was the same way with her medic skills.

Sasuke-kun…please. His heartless stare would've killed her, if looks could.

"Look at you" he spat. He smirked and said "You are weak"

It's true..Sakura agreed. I am weak. I was always the hindrance. I wasn't here in time.

Sasuke drew his sword from his back.

"You wanna prove that you're not weak?" Sasuke tested her "Then fight me"

No. She couldn't. Surely, she would be defeated.

"I..I can't" her hands trembled.

"See?" Sasuke pointed "You're weak"

He slipped his sword back to his rope and sensed Sakura's heart sink. One hand landed on her mouth, boiling her sobs.

"The day I come back to you" Sasuke told her sarcastically "Would be the day you defeat me, Sakura. And that would never happen"

His cold insults deeply offended her and torn up her insides.

"What is your plan now Sasuke-kun?" Sakura spoke, trying not to cry "You killed your brother and you're still alive. You planned to re-establish your clan so—"

"That's not as important as it was years ago" he stated "I don't know what my plans are. But I do know that they don't concern you or Konoha in anyway"

Sakura looked down, trying to hide her tears. "I understand Sasuke-kun"

Good. I don't want to get involved with that village anymore. I'm done. The Uchiha clan..is officially extinct.

And so he left her…alone with three dead bodies. He gave no explanation and just demanded her to stay away from him. He had done a good job of making her feel worthless and vulnerable. She started to shiver unstoppably out in that rain. Raindrops splattered on Naruto's face. He just laid there, cold and dead.

On a day like this… Sakura thought as she sucked up her tears, A cruel battle to happen on a violent day like this. The "game of tag" as Naruto would called it. Sasuke won. He got everything he wanted.Sasuke-kun, I think I understand you better now. I know that you've lost your family and you've told me that I didn't know what it was like to lose someone precious. But you're wrong. It's not just Naruto. It was you.

Sasuke's eyes slowly unlocked. He still felt an unbearable ache on his sides. Slowly getting up from the bed, he wondered where he was at. Unable to tell his location in a dark room, he felt confused.

Where am I? What happened? Do they know about—I was training and—

He suddenly spotted a pink haired lady lying on the floor. Sakura? He recognized her pink hair and her facial features.

Hn. What is she doing here?

His eyes scanned the room quickly. Intensive Care: Unit 7. I'm at Konoha Hospital. I must escape and fast before they start to hunt for me—if they still are.

He quickly lifted Sakura up by her back and laid her to where he had been sleeping.

I don't know what you did to me. I was pretty sure I was dead. You're foolish to let me live..if only you knew Sakura.

A/N

Well, it's winter vacation and I know that I'll be hella bored. Guess it's time to bring this fic back. Yep. I finished Like You Did Mine, so I can focus more on this fic. Oh yeah, the little hints that I drop by will make sense to you by the ending of this story. I made Sasuke sound a little cruel, but I don't like doing OOC and it's a good challenge for me.

Do you guys still wanna continue it though? Ah well, just review!
