"Sakura, in about two weeks, I'm gonna die" those exact words pulled out of his mouth gently. The end of the month was exactly two weeks from now.

He felt Sakura's arms slowly release themselves. She looked up strangely at him.

"How do you know this?" she asked

At first Sasuke kept his tounge still, deciding that he already revealed too much.

He hurt her too much.

"Tell me" she demanded. She gazed at him with fierce green eyes, assuring him that she won't be the one to back down. Sasuke was forced in defeat.

"When I left with Orochimaru, he did a couple of experiments"

After encountering him when they were fifteen, she realized Sasuke's drastic increase in his skill level, she once suspected the use of drugs. It was nearly impossible to excel such an extreme standard for a fifteen year-old. Then again, the kid was an Uchiha.

Damn it...I was right.

"The expirements impacted my stength when I was younger" he revealed more and more. "But tweleve years later, they cause severe consequences..perhaps death. And sometimes, I feel like I'm dying. It was part of the reason why I almost died in training." Sakura froze, completely traumatized as she wasn't prepared for this discovery.

"Why the hell did you come back here?!" she shouted angrily, nearly in tears. "Why did you--"

"Naruto" he responded "He made me go here to spend my last moments..with you. To make you happy"

Did Naruto honestly think that this was making her happy? Sasuke finally said he loved her. And then he's just gonna die, leaving her alone again. What the hell?

"That's imposible" Sakura pointed. "He's dead. You can't talk to a dead guy. Stop lying!"

Sasuke gulped. He knew that he had to declare more truths and lies. "When you left after the battle, he awoke. His condition was severe and he lost half of his memories. Of you. Of his ambition to become Hokage. Of himself." he paused "He's regain most of it by now. His jutsus were even perfected. Only time healed his mind, but it also helped to have me around and explain a few of his unforgettable events at a hospital. When I tell about him, he'd remember."

"He's alive" she whispered underneath her breath with a curve on each side of her lips. Although Sasuke had proclaimed his expiration date of life, Sakura couldn't help smile at the thought of Naruto alive. She wondered if he'd be exactly the same. They've had their share of memories. Some good. Most tragic.

"I'm glad that Naruto is well now and that my jutsu succeeded at the last moment" she told Sasuke "But you just can't die. We can all be reunited again. You, me, Naruto, we can still be Team 7. And oh god! Hinata-chan will be so happy!" She reminisced the possibilities of happiness once more. Sasuke kept a straight face.

"Sakura" he said her name. "I'll bring him back. I'll notify the hospital. And then you can marry him. So he'll be happy and you'll be happy"

Sakura grasped his hands. Her eyes were intense. "You're not gonna die" he told her. "I'm gonna do everything I can to save you...And I'm not marrying Naruto"

It occured to Sasuke that lately, Sakura had been the one saving his life. It use to be him that protected her whenever they had missions. And now, she was this gifted medic. The medic that he failed to recognized for so long. She was...stronger that he was. She was the medic who refused for his death. She was the medic who he hurt so much.

And loved so much. And suddenly, he didn't want to die.

Not now.


A/N

I know, it's a short chapter. Sorry. I feel like I've given some hints of his death. You know, I've said that Sasuke would only stay for a month. So, it's not random. I've always planned it out...I just needed the perfect time to finally get this out in the open. The part where Sakura thought drugs were the cause of his extensive strength was overlooked..even by me, so I decided that Orochimaru's drugs were going to kill him later on. So, yeah. reread that chapter. (It was either 310 or 311--or maybe both)

Next chapter will be much longer than this...I hope. I promise that if it's not a long chapter, I'll update quicker. Also, a certain hyper blondie reappears in Konoha next chapter! hehehehehehe

So reveiw...before I kill Sasuke-kun.

Just kidding:)
