Sakura sighed, "Y-you love me?" Sasuke nodded, "more then I have let on" for the first

time Sakura felt a tingle of her old feelings, "Sasuke" she touched his wrist, Sasuke

stepped closer to her, "Sakura?" taking a breath she stood on her tip toes, "kiss me?" she

whispered her plea lingered in the dark, suddenly a pair of warm lips covered her's

Sakura leaned into the kiss, as if everything had been explained both felt as if a huge

weight was lifted off there shoulders, Sasuke picked her up and deepened the kiss,

mouths opened wider allowing each other to explore the other, Sasuke didn't want to let

go but suddenly it hit him she was a captive, going to be tortured then eventually killed

after she told the location of Naruto and Tsunade, Sasuke felt tears slide down his cheeks

as he kissed her and held her close, what could he do?

There was only one thing.

Something he didn't want to do now that he had finally found her and expressed his

feelings as she had hers, pushing her down on the bed, he wanted her and she was more

then willing, if he did then it would be out of pure lust and he couldn't do that, besides it

was only a matter of hours before the rest of his team came in and then the cherry

blossom he held under him would be tested pushed then slaughtered,

No.

She was going free.

Sasuke got off her, "not here not now" Sakura was surprised, she was more then willing

to surrender herself to this man and now…what? Sakura shrugged, "what's wrong?"

Sasuke sighed, "follow me" was all he said taking her hand he lead her through a passage

in the wall, outside rain fell on the leaves blocking the entrance, looking up at the rain she

saw he was giving her freedom, her freedom, turning around she faced Sasuke tears ran

down her face he was also leaving her again, "no" she felt tears starting to fall, Sasuke

shook her head, "this is the way it has to be" Sakura hung her head, " you just told me

you loved me" Sasuke pulled her into his arms, "and I do. Sakura Shhhh please stop

crying your making this so hard don't you understand that if I don't let you go then we'll

never be together" Sakura clung to him, "I'll come back for you one day, wait for me"

Sakura nodded; "forever" Sasuke sighed and hugged her one last time then lifting

something off his neck he put it around her's, "keep this safe for me until we meet again"

with that he kissed her deeply a knock on the wall made them brake apart sasuke pushed

her towards the bushes and light, "go" he whispered, "I love you" running away from the

akatsuki's hide out Sakura looked at her neck the tiny uchiha fan dangled just above her

cleavage, "forever yours Sakura, Sasuke" he had made this for her. Clinging to the hope

she would see him again Sakura ran as fast as she could away.
