By the time Sakura turned back to Lee, the spandex-clad ninja had already walked away, head hanging in complete disappointment. Sasuke fought the urge to step back; he was so close to Sakura's back he could feel her shoulders shaking in anger. As soon as Lee was out of sight, Sakura turned slowly back to the Sharingan-user. Sasuke blinked.

"Uchiha." Sasuke grimaced. Sakura has never called him that, ever. "I wasn't going to go with him. But what the hell. What the hell, makes you think I'm going to magically forgive you, especially after you pulled that shit with a perfectly nice guy that knows how to treat me with respect?" Sakura's jaw was clenched so tight that Sasuke could've sworn he heard her teeth grind.

"Why Sasuke!?" she shouted, startling him. She banged both her fists on his chest. It didn't hurt, so he didn't stop her. "Why do I lo--- WHY CAN'T I HATE YOU! Why don't I hate you!?" she kept banging on his chest, and tears started to slowly run down her cheeks, but she had hung her head so her rosy pink hair hid it.

Sasuke opened his mouth, but Sakura glared up at him through her tears and then bolted. She just took a sharp right into the forest, completely off the path, and ran.

"Shit." Sasuke swore quietly, and he tore off after her. He immediately went to the branches, his feet easily finding the perfect place on the wood to take off to the next tree.

"What the hell…?" Sasuke muttered, stopping on a branch. He kept dead still, surveying the leafy green environment around him. Then he heard crying coming from behind him to the left, and he jumped down onto the ground. Quietly and slowly he made his way towards the sobbing.

Parting a bush that was in his way, Sasuke stopped in his tracks to see a crying Sakura leaning against a tree, her head in her hands. He frowned; she was saying something as she was crying,

"Why do I love him why do I love him why oh God why?" she said in short, quick breathes, the words coming out in a jumble. Sasuke tentatively stepped out from behind the bush. Sakura didn't notice him and kept on crying and talking softly in between sobs.

"Sakura. I'm… I'm sorry…" Sasuke said, reaching out and stepping towards her. She looks up, tears streaking down her face. "Really. I am." He said softly, taking another step. With a ragged sigh, Sakura staggered towards him and collapsed into his strong arms. He wrapped her in his hold, hugging her tight as she cried into his chest. They stood there for a good five minutes, the only sounds were Sakura crying softly and Sasuke's gentle breathing. When Sakura pulled away, she leaned back against the tree. Sasuke's hands reluctantly slid from her around her to rest softly on her hips.

Seeing Sakura cry made Sasuke want to apologize again. "Really Sakura, I'm sorry about everything I've said, what I've done, how I've talked, and especially how I---"

"Sasuke." Sakura said. The Uchiha stopped short, looking at her. "I love you, and I always have. No matter how much it frustrates me." Sasuke blinked. "Do you love me though?" she whispered.

There wasn't even a pause. "Yes." Sasuke said.

"Good. Because I need to do this." Sakura grabbed Sasuke by the collar and crushed her lips against his. They both pulled away from each other slowly. Sasuke leaned his forehead against hers.

"You were finally right about something though." Sakura laughed through her tears, Sasuke looked at her curiously, raising an eyebrow. "I will be busy for all the nights for at least next ten years." Both of Sasuke's eyebrows shot up towards his hairline.

"Make it twenty." Sasuke grinned.
