After Kakashi brought in the unconscious Sasuke to a bedroom and laid him down on a bed; Sakura immediately went to her room, put some clothes on, and grabbed her medic bag. When she got back she had Kakashi to remove everything but Sasuke's boxers and then asked everyone to leave the room.
The first thing she did was wash off all of the blood so she could have a good look at the cuts. She was kind of glad that Sasuke wasn't awake to feel the burn when she cleaned all of the cuts. She went to work with cleaning the cuts and put some special medicine on them that would get rid of any poison the cuts could have and help the cut heal faster. When she was done with his chest she gently flipped him over to look at his back. All she saw was bruises. She put some medicine on the bruises and flipped him back over. Sakura had to try hard not to really look at his body because he had a really nice body. When she had him back on his back she propped him up some so she could wrap his chest in bandages.
When she was done with his chest and back she took a look at his legs and all she saw was a burn mark on his left leg. She wondered how he could be the one with the burn mark when usually the person Sasuke's fighting is the one that ends up with burn marks. She put some medicine on the burn and wrapped that up too. When she finished wrapping his leg she went to look at his face. It looked like his face was just dirty so she cleaned his face and then took a look at the back of his head. When she saw that nothing happen to his head she left him alone.
She looked at Sasuke's handsome face and almost cried. He got hurt and he almost died because of me! When she thought that she began to cry. She cried more then she ever had before. She cried until she felt a hand move her hand and wiped the tears away. She gasped but looked to whom the hand belong to. Sasuke had a worried and concerned look. "I don't like it when you cry." But he frowned when Sakura put her head in her hands and began to cry some more until with her head still in her hands and still crying she said, "Sasuke, you're so stupid! Why did you do that? You could've been killed! He was way more advanced! Why couldn't you bring Kakashi-sensei with you? I'm not worth it! I'm just a weak ninja! I'm worthless! I don't deserve to be saved by you every time I'm in trouble. S-so…why?" Sakura wanted to cry some more but she didn't have any more tears to cry.
She noticed that Sasuke was staring at her with a look that she didn't recognize. Sure she has seen it on other people, but not on Sasuke. She guessed that was why it was so unfamiliar. All she has thought about was Sasuke. The center of her world was Sasuke. She noticed that Sasuke was now standing in front of her. She wondered how he got there. I must've been in my own little world to notice.
"Sasuke, what are you doing? You need to lay back down…" she began to speak but Sasuke stopped her by putting a finger to her lips. "You talk too much, you know that?" he smirked when she just stared at him with wide eyes, but then his face went serious when he began to speak.
"Sakura you are very strong. Everybody knows that but you. And you're not worthless, and don't you ever say that again. Why I saved you? Like I said before: you are a teammate and a friend, it's my duty to protect you, and I'm not just going to stand there let some bastard hurt you in any way. That is something I cannot forgive. Which is why every time you're in trouble I save you. I might say it's a problem, but that's not true, or I wouldn't keep protecting you. I like to know I can protect you because I can't stand to see you hurt or crying. I want to see you smiling and laughing like you used to be. I want to see you happy, and I'll do anything to keep you happy and to keep that smile on your face and to keep you laughing. I might say that all of that is annoying, but it's a lie. I love you, Sakura." She gasped when Sasuke said that. It was like a dream come true…and so romantic! She felt his hand caress her cheek and couldn't help but blush.
Sasuke smiled when he saw her blush. She's cute when she blushes. He had a sad look on his face when he began to speak again. "I'm sorry I never told you before. I didn't want to because there are a lot of people who want me dead now and if they found out my feelings for you, I would be putting you in danger, and you could get killed. I couldn't live with that." Sakura knew Sasuke was right. Ever since he had killed Orochimaru and his brother Itachi a lot of ninjas that were with them wants Sasuke dead, even though he returned back to Konoha and he was back with team 7 and doing regular missions with them, but Sakura knew she would be putting herself in danger if she was to be Sasuke's girlfriend. But I don't care!
She smiled at Sasuke took his hand and stepped closer to him. "I know that Sasuke. I've always known that, and I don't care. I love you Sasuke. I always have and I always will. If I'm in danger then I'll fight every step of the way, I'd die for you Sasuke, just as you would for me." She saw that Sasuke was staring at her with a surprise look on his face, but then he smiled. Sakura was so happy when she saw that smile because it was a true smile and he was smiling at her. Then he did something very surprising. He kissed her. Sakura was so surprised she froze, but kissed him back. It was the greatest kiss ever. Who knew Sasuke could be such a good kisser. She felt his toung slide against her lip. She opened her mouth to let him deepen the kiss. She could've stayed there forever but of course they had to breath.
When they pulled apart Sasuke looked at her with compassion and then he said, "I love you, Sakura." And Sakura knew he meant it with all of his heart. She smiled and said, "I love you too, Sasuke-kun." The moment was ruined when Sasuke suddenly winced in pain and almost fell to his knees but Sakura caught him.
"Oh! Sasuke-kun, you really shouldn't be standing up! You're hurt and need to rest for you to heal! Please lie down." Sakura led him back to the bed and helped him lie down. She was about to leave and let him rest alone, but he grabbed her wrist.
"Stay." Sakura smiled and lie down beside him on the bed with her head resting on his shoulder. She watched Sasuke fall asleep, and then sleep took over her.
Kakashi walked up the stairs to tell Sakura and Sasuke about what happened to Hiro, but when he opened the door he smiled at the sight he was seeing. Sasuke was a sleep, and he had a sleeping Sakura in his arms. Finally. They've gotten together. He quietly closed the door and made his way down stairs to the living room where Naruto and Hinata were. When Kakashi walked to the living room and smiled when he saw the shy Hinata sitting close to Naruto, and Naruto's arm was around her.
When Naruto saw Kakashi he looked concern. "How is Sasuke-teme and Sakura? And what about that asshole, Hiro?"
"Sasuke and Sakura are fine, and Hiro is dead. Sasuke killed him."
"What?" Naruto looked surprise but then asked, "Are you going to tell Sakura?" Kakashi just smiled, but you couldn't tell except for the wrinkling of his mask, and the glint in his eyes. "No, I think I'll let them rest." And then he began to laugh a little. Naruto and Hinata looked confused.
