Heartless

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you want to know what happened? Well, what would you say if I said I wouldn't tell you? Well, I guess I can't, because otherwise there would be no point in posting this chapter. I don't own Naruto!

SHORT CHAPTER ALERT! SHORT CHAPTER ALERT! SHORT CHAPTER ALERT wooot…

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

More blood fell out of my arm, and I could have sworn if felt off, but when I looked down it was still there, but the blood was pouring, and the pain kept on getting worse and worse. The sword was incredibly familiar, though… Wait! Isn't that…?

Tsurugi!

Sasuke looked at me, eyes widened. I fell to my knees, and coughed out something… red.

" His aim seems a bit off nowadays, as there's nobody venturing here anymore. You're lucky, Sakura." Kabuto adjusted his glasses. Tsurugi retreated back into the shadows.

" Welcome back, Sakura." I froze. That voice was the same as…

---Flashback---

"Sakura… Goddess of Love…"

---End Flashback---

The same day my spiritual energy had been stolen… my aura. It was Orochimaru, all right.

" Sakura…" Sasuke dropped down and helped me back up. " Your arm…" His voice actually sounded… normal. I looked at him for the first time since we came, and he looked absolutely horrified-almost like a little boy. I wonder…

" Ouughh…" I groaned. The pain cut off all of my thoughts. A pale, slim figure came out of the shadows.

" Why, hello. I figured that you would come." The Snake God grinned.

" You…" I spat out, disgusted.

" Oh, my! You remember me! Dear Sakura-chan, I'm flattered." He grinned and licked his lips. Sasuke frowned.

" Who are you to talk to her like that?" Sasuke hissed.

" I'm of a higher rank. I do believe that's enough." Orochimaru rolled his eyes. Kabuto walked towards the god.

" Let me see them now."

" No." Orochimaru's answer was clear, spoken with no hesitation.

" What? I did all that you asked from me! Why not?" Kabuto's eyes narrowed. " I need to see that they're safe."

" We're not done here." The God turned to Sasuke and me. " I need a new body for the immortality spell, and this boy here looks perfect."

" No!" I yelled. " Sasuke, you have to get out of here!"

" I'm not leaving you." Sasuke replied, his voice barely level.

" Sasuke, you don't understand! What he's about to do now has a 50 chance of killing you!"

" If I leave, you're going to get killed." Sasuke grit his teeth.

" If you don't leave I'll get killed anyway!" I cried out, desperately.

" No." He replied stubbornly.

" That's so sweet! He's gotten feelings for you!" Orochimaru gooned. " No matter. Listen here, boy. I'm going to strike a deal with you. Let me perform my spell, and the goddess over there lives. Don't and both of you die, just like that." He grinned.

" Don't do it! He's not going to keep his word!" I pleaded. Sasuke seemed distressed as he looked back from me to the deadly Snake God.

" I will keep my word. In fact, I'll even throw in the location to her spiritual energy to restore her back to her rightful place." Orochimaru cackled.

" I'm fine! I just don't want two dead bodies lying around! Leave! Get out of here!"
" If you do, I'll kill you both." Orochimaru warned. Immense amounts of chakra began pouring out. Sasuke growled, narrowing his eyes.

" I-"

I just wanted a cliffie. That's the only reason why I put it as a short chappie.
