(A few years later. Sakura is 21 now and Kiba is 22. Sakura is back to her old normal self and everyone in Konoha except Sasuke is glad.)
Uzumaki Naruto hugged his petal haired friend happily and she smiled as she hugged him back. "I'm so glad you're back Sakura-chan. I missed you." He said. "I missed me too." Sakura replied. Kiba smiled as he watched his little woman interact with their friends again. 'As long as that bastard doesn't show up, Inner Sakura won't show her face and I won't kill him for what he did to me.' Sakura thought. She never referred to him by his name anymore. Just that bastard. Hyuuga Neji and Hyuuga Hinata also joined in on the hugging, as did Yamanaka Ino and Nara Shikamaru.
"It's good to have you back forehead-chan." Ino said as tears streamed down her face. "I'm glad to be back Ino-pig-chan." Sakura replied. "I'm glad you're back to your troublesome self Pinky." Shikamaru said. "I'm glad too Pineapple Head." Sakura replied. Everyone celebrated the return of their pink haired friend and Sakura was happier than ever. Until That Bastard showed up. Sakura's body stiffened and her bangs hid her eyes from the smirking man. "So you're out and about again? How entertaining." He said. Sand engulfed the raven-haired man and Sakura trembled angrily. Her eyes snapped open to reveal the black of Inner Sakura. "YOU BASTARD! YOU FUCKING BASTARD!" She screamed over and over again as the Sakura trees swayed violently in reaction to her rage.
'She's feisty as usual.' Sasuke smirked. Sakura's chest heaved in and out with her breaths coming in short pants as she walked calmly to her canine master and smiled lovingly as she grabbed a sledgehammer out of the bag he was carrying. "Remember the night I told you I was leaving you for Kiba-kun and you got mad? You beat me with a sledgehammer and nearly killed me. You left me to die in the streets of Konoha. Luckily, the very man I was leaving you for rescued me. And healed the wounds on my heart and soul." Sakura said calmly.
"Now Sakura-chan don't do anything rash." Sasuke pleaded. Sakura swung the hammer and shattered his left knee. Sasuke screamed in agony and Sakura smiled serenely. "Shut up. I don't want to hear you speak." She said calmly in an almost friendly manner. "I'm sorry." Sasuke gasped. "You should be. You destroyed my soul, crushed my spirit. You made me weak Sasuke. But that's OK because I'm not weak anymore. I'm loved and it feels good." Sakura said gently as if talking to Kiba.
Then she swung the hammer and shattered Sasuke's right knee. Sasuke screamed again in pure agony as pain like nothing he had ever felt slammed into him again. Blood dripped from the sand prison holding the Uchiha and Sakura smiled calmly. "How does it feel to be on the receiving end of the beatings Sasuke?" She asked curiously as she swung the hammer and shattered his lower leg. Blood flew from Sasuke's mouth as he screamed again. As Sakura swung the hammer, she thought back to when she woke up in Kiba's bed at his apartment.
(Flashback)
"Oh. So you're awake now? Good. I'm glad you're OK." Kiba said relieved. Sakura smiled and noticed all her wounds. Her smile fell and her eyes filled with tears. Sakura's tears fell down her cheeks and she wanted to die. Kiba crawled onto the bed beside her and hugged her. Sakura sobbed into his chest until she couldn't cry anymore. "There's someone, somewhere, who thinks of your smile, who finds in your presence, that life is worthwhile, so when your alone remember its true, someone, somewhere is thinking about you" He said softly. Sakura smiled again and her soul was mended for a while. "Thanks." She said. "No problem." Kiba replied.
(A few weeks later) Kiba returned from his mission and saw pink hair in the masses of people welcoming the shinobi home. He immediately went to her and smiled. Her sunny smile made his heart beat faster and a bigger grin form on his face. "What's love Sakura-chan?" Kiba asked. Sakura looked thoughtful for a moment and her eyes lit up with her answer. "Love is when you cant stop thinking of that person…love is when u get all excited when your about to see that person…love is when you cant wait to hear that persons voice…love is when u sit and wait and wish for that person to come and talk to you…love is when you wonder if that person ever thinks about you…love is when you know that that person is the one and only one for you…love is when it hurts to see that person with another girl…love is when you do anything to get that person's attention or eye contact…love is when you want that person more than anything in the world…love is when you stare at her picture for hours…love is when you write their name with your over and over again…love is when you miss that person when your in the same room with them…love is when you dream about that one person every night…that's what love is…." She replied. Kiba smiled and kissed her for the first time since they had been together. "Then I love you Sakura-chan." He said. "I love you too Kiba-kun." Sakura replied.
(End flashback)
Sakura smiled as she remembered the first time she and Kiba had sex. How scared she was and how gentle he was with her until her fears vanished. Then he got rough with her and she had loved it. Because it was Kiba. Sakura swung the hammer again and shattered Sasuke's ribcage. She released the hammer and looked at him with pity in her eyes. Then she spoke one final time:
"Too bad you had me but you took me for granted and hurt me. I'll never come back to you and I can't let you live for what you've done to me. I thought I loved you Sasuke and I suppose I did at first but then I took a good, long, hard look at my life and realized that I was happier when you weren't in it. So goodbye Uchiha Sasuke and I hope you find peace in death and that you can forgive and forget." Sakura said softly. She nodded at Gaara who performed his Desert Burial on the last Uchiha in Konoha. Sakura didn't cry once and for that they were all thankful. "Arigato Panda-chan." She said softly as she hugged Temari.
