Stay With Me

Chapter Five: Escape

Sasuke stood by the window looking out at the dark night sky. The stars shined brightly and the wind was strong making the night appear cold. He glanced over at Sakura who was sleeping peacefully on the bed. Sasuke watched her chest rise and fall in a steady rhythm. She turned onto her side hugging the pillow she had her head on.

'She looks so cute like that. 'Sasuke thought to himself

'ha so you admit it. you like her'

'hn'

He whipped his head around when he sensed something from the outside. He looked out the window and saw Orochimaru leaving with Kabuto and a group of sound ninjas. Sasuke waited until they were out of sight before he went over to Sakura. He knelt down beside her, brushing her bangs from her eyes. He didn't want to wake her because she looked so peaceful but he knew if he didn't they would never out run Orochimaru and bet him to Konoha village.

"Sakura." Sasuke said quietly but she didn't wake up. "Sakura." He tried again. This time her eyes slowly fluttered open. She moaned slightly and sat up in the bed.

"Sasuke." She said quietly once her eyes had adjusted and smiled at him.

"Time to go." Sasuke told her and picked up his katana in the corner of the room. He placed it on his back and Sakura got out of bed putting on her sandals and weapon pouch. She then walked up to Sasuke who was waiting for her at the door.

"Ready." She told him.

"Follow me we will have to travel a while to gain some distance." He whispered.

"Aa." She replied. Sasuke smirked and opened the door. They both hid there chakera and Sasuke took hold of Sakura's hand leading her out of the room. Sakura blushed at the sudden contact but ignored it. She had to concentrate on getting out of Orochimaru's lair. They made there way through the pitch black halls but Sasuke knew them by the back of his hand and managed to get them out undetected through the back entrance. They could only hope they would have the same luck the rest of the way. They reached a gate that had a few sound ninjas guarding the entrance that they had to pass in order to completely be out of Orochimarus lair. Sasuke and Sakura hid against a wall of the lair outside.

"Two guards." Sasuke whispered. Sakura looked at him and nodded. They both ran out of hiding and straight at the guards with kunai In hand. They sliced the ninja's necks killing them instantly. They continued running traveling through the trees of the forest at a quick and steady pace. They had been traveling for nearly a day now and the sun had started to set again. Sakura was having difficulty keeping up with Sasuke. He was practically out of sight now. Her feet were killing her; she was out of breath and could barley stand. She grasped onto the trunk of the tree.

"Sasuke." She called out. He stooped and looked in her direction. He saw how exhausted she appeared. "I...I can't" She said with her last bit of energy and began to fall from the tree.

"SAKURA!" Sasuke yelled at the top of his lungs when he saw her falling. He quickly sprinted through the trees to where she was as fast as he could and caught her. He kicked off the tree trunks until they landed safely on the ground. He placed her on the ground against a tree trunk. "Sakura are you alright?" Sasuke asked her.

"I…I think so thank-you." She replied catching her breath.

"We'll stay here tonight." He told her

"But w-" She tried to speak but Sasuke cut her off.

"We've gained some distance and you need to rest I don't want you collapsing on me again." He told her. Sasuke dug threw his bag and pulled out a towel. "Here. There's a lake over there behind those bushes." He told here handing here the towel.

"Are you telling me I smell?" She said placing her hands on her hips.

"N-no I just thought you'd wan-" Sasuke stopped in mid sentence from shocked when Sakura kissed him on the cheek lightly. He just sat there frozen from the contact and his cheeks were as red as tomatoes. Sakura walked off behind the bushes leaving behind the blushing Uchiha and totally oblivious to the fact that he was watching her hips sway as she walked.

'Ah. What am I doing?' Sasuke asked himself shaking his head.

'Staring at that cute tight as of hers what else.'

'I can't have these feelings for her not until I kill Itachi.' He told himself.

Sakura striped herself of all her clothing and hung them over a tree branch along with the towel Sasuke gave her and her weapon pouch. She had half submerged into the water when Sasuke happened to walk by the area looking for wood to make a fire. Although he was behind the bushes there was a small opening which Sasuke unconsciously happen to look through and say Sakura completely naked.

"Oh god." Sasuke whispered to himself turning his head away quickly. He knew his face looked like a lobster right now. Although he had only seen a back view from her waist up it till made his hormones rise tenfold. He felt his pants tighten. He couldn't get the image out of his head of her beautiful pink hair and her bare back the skin looked so soft and creamy he wanted to run his hands all over her curves.

'No stay down. Think Naruto, Naked with Kakashi.' He told himself and sighed.

He returned to picking up the wood and then returned to where his bag was and began lighting a fire with his fire ball jutsu. About eight minutes later Sakura had emerged from the lake and got dressed she was currently humming a soft tune to herself that she hadn't noticed the snake slithering behind her and in between her legs.

Sasuke was now satisfied with his fire when he heard a loud scream near by.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"

'That sounded like Sakura.' Sasuke said to himself.

He ran to where Sakura had been bathing. On his way he found her weapons pouch hanging on a tree. He looked around the area and saw Sakura against a tree trunk with a snake wrapped around her tightly biting her neck. She appeared very pale and her eyes were barley open. Sasuke took out some kunai and threw them at the snake. The snake released its hold on Sakura and she fell onto her knees and on the soft grass. Sasuke cut of the snakes head and ran to her side.

"Sakura. Sakura are you alright?" he asked her softly she opened her eyes to look at him.

"I'm sorry. I wasn't strong enough." She said just above a whisper.

"No you were just caught off guard." He told her. She then began to cough up blood which worried Sasuke he looked at the Snake bite and it was pulsing.

"I've got to get you to Konoha and get you medical attention." He told her he was about to pick her up when he heard a sinister laugh and Orochimaru immerged from the shadows. Sasuke immediately activated his Sharingan glaring at Orochimaru. "What the hell did you do to her?" Sasuke demanded.

"My, my, what temper. One of my snakes simply poisoned her I'd say she only has at most three hours to live if the poison is not removed depending on how fast it spreads through her body." He informed him. "And I wouldn't be surprised if some of her bones are broken."

"You bastard." Sasuke yelled and darkened his look and glared a thousand needles at Orochimaru.

"Come now Sasuke, I said if you disobeyed that I'd kill her and I never said you could leave. So tell me where are you going?" Orochimaru asked him.

"As if I'd tell you, I know you want my body, but you're not going to get it. It's time for you to die." Sasuke told him and Sasuke ran at Orochimaru and punched him 300m away.

"You must really love her." Orochimaru said Getting up from the ground and wiping the blood off of his face and glanced at Sakura. He smiled sinisterly at Sasuke before Orochimaru slithered on the ground and wove himself around Sakura.

"Get your fucking hands off her." Sasuke shouted charging at Orochimaru.

"So you do." Orochimaru replied. He released Sakura and reappeared behind Sasuke kicking him in the back and sending towards a tree but he placed a hand on the ground to prevent him from hitting it. Sasuke stood and charged at Orochimaru preparing another punch but as his fist moved closer and closer to Orochimaru, using his sharingan Sasuke realized that Orochimaru had replaced himself with a nearby log. So Sasuke threw a kunai at it and it transformed into a log while he searched for where Orochimaru had disappeared to.

'Damit. I have to finish this quickly or Sakura...'he thought.

Suddenly Sasuke spotted him above him coming with five Snakes. He took out his sword and killed the snakes with one strike sending the remains in a completely different direction. Orochimaru landed a few feet away from him and smirked. Sasuke brought his hands together and started to perform hand sings.

"Fireball Jutsu" he yelled and a large fire ball exhaled from Sasuke's mouth when it disapeared Orochimaru appeared in front of him and kicked him hard in the rips Sasuke flew into a tree and caughed up blood. Sasuke whiped his mouth of the blood and stood up slowly with one hand cluthing his ribs.

"Bet your having some trouble breathing now aren't you." Orochimaru said. Sasuke glared at him but he was right he was having trouble breathing. The kick must have broken some of his ribs. Suddenly Sasuke felt like he couldn't move and his ribs were hurting so bad he fell to his knees and began to cough up more blood. "You're such a disappointment." Orochimaru told him a shot two kunai in his direction. But before he could move Sakura had teleported in front of him and the kunai pierced her leg and back. She then started to cough up a lot of blood beside them.

"Sa…Sakura? W-why'd you do that?" Sasuke whispered.

"I…I still love you." She told him. Sasuke instantly grabbed the back of her neck and crashed his lips on to hers forcefully she was shocked but returned it. She pulled away when she started coughing again. Sasuke had no idea why he kissed her he just did it was like something had told him to. Orochimaru suddenly ran at them but Sasuke grabbed hold of Sakura and teleported them to behind a tree across from where Orochimaru was. Sasuke pulled out the kunai from her skin.

"Sakura I need you to live, Please hang on a little longer." He told her. She nodded at him and he stood up and ran towards where he had left Orochimaru. Sasuke summoned his own snakes and Orochimaru was caught off gaud and Sasuke's Snakes wrapped around him preventing him from moving. "No one hurts my teammate." Sasuke yelled and glared a thousand needles at Orochimaru.

"Even if you kill me you're both are practically dead anyway." Orochimaru said smirking. Sasuke's hand began to glow an electric blue and ran head at Orochimaru

"Chidori " Sasuke yelled and his hand went straight threw where Orochimaru heart was. Blood came out of Orochimarus mouth and down his chin. Sasuke removed his hand now covered in blood. His snakes released Orochimaru and he collapsed. He was finally dead. Sasuke had killed Orochimaru. Sasuke teleported to where Sakura was and she was shaking violently.

"Shit we don't have much time." He thought.

He pulled her to him and picked her up bridal style she wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder. He could hear her heavy breathing but he knew he wasn't in a much better state. He was having trouble breathing since his ribs felt like they were broken but he had to get them to konoha for both there lives depended on it.

Sasuke ran through the forest cradling the now unconscious Sakura in his arms. He was covered in her blood and his own. But he didn't care he had to get to konoha. He saw the gates of konoha just as his eyes began to blur. Darkness took over him and the last thing he saw before he fainted was to Anbu approach him and Sakura.

"What the, it's Uchiha Sasuke, and Haruno Sakura." An Anbu said.

"Hurry lets get these two to the hospital, and inform the fifth hokage." The other replied.

"hn. Trublesume."
