bwahahahahahahaha!!!! i have come up with the third chapter and now i have to say that i luv it!!

it's a shorty, but it's good. please don't get angry if you notice some misspelled terms, i don't have a naruto dictionary, okay?

i also wanted to say, that i point of view changes quite often, so be prepared for it, especially for those who get confused with point of view changes X ) i know, bad smile face.

why didn't you say anything, you idiot?!

what could i have said? i just don't have it in me to tell her how i feel.

then show her!

she'd think i'm playing her!

hmmmm...

sakura had been laying there in a daze when she could hear footsteps running toward her.

"sakura-chan!"

is that naruto? she thought, but didn't care to look.

naruto jogged up to sakura and crouched down next to her.

"sakura-chan," he said tenderly as if she were a small, scared animal. "what happened? are you okay?"

"..."

"sakura-chan!" naruto cried in alarm. "sakura-chan!"

-----

naruto?! what's he doing here?

sasuke peered around the corner watching naruto shake sakura.

"sakura-chan! sakura-chan, say something!"

what did i do to her? thought sasuke, horrified.

he began contemplating what to do next. should he go get sakura? or should he leave her there for naruto to take back to the village?

go get her! the voice in his head screamed. this is your last chance!

normally, sasuke never even listened to the voice, but now, it had a point. if he let this opportunity slip, then he might not ever see her again.

the choice was his to make, but would she even want to see him again, even after what he just did?

go get her! the voice urged. you know she still loves you!

he sighed as he made his decision. there was still a slim hope that she could still love him.

-----

as naruto was picking up the silent sakura, he could hear footsteps behind him.

naruto spun around to see sasuke stepping out from around the corner.

"sasuke-" growled naruto. "don't even think about keeping sakura! she's my friend, and you can't have her."

"she came on her own free will, baka." sasuke spat. "let her leave on her own free will."

"you call this free?!" naruto set sakura back on the floor as he continued, "what did you do to her?"

naruto narrowed his eyes.

"why should i have to answer to a fool like you? Hmmm?" sasuke sighed as he prepared to strike.

without warning, sasuke leaped at lightning speed at naruto, knocking him away from sakura.

"she's mine now." sasuke stated, matter-of-factly. "leave now and i'll spare your life, for now."

"never!" naruto shot back as he summoned a clone.

with the resangan in hand, naruto ran towards sasuke.

sasuke went to grab his sword, but realized that he wasn't in his kimono.

"shit!" he mummbled as he barely dodged naruto, who slammed into the ground.

sasuke threw down a smoke screan bomb and grabbed sakura. he then dodged down the hallway that led to the exit and he sped into the forest while naruto stood stupidly in the hall waiting for the smog to clear.

when naruto realized they were gone, he screamed in agony, "damn you, sasuke!"

-----

im just a pawn, nothing more.

sasuke ran for all he was worth with the limb sakura slung over his shoulder.

when he felt he was far enough away, he sat her down on her feet.

she looked at him sadly and fell into a lump on the ground.

"sakura," he whispered as he nelt down beside her. "I1i do not think of you as that; as a pawn. i never have. i-" he gulped "i really do want to be with you. can you forgive me for what i've done?"

he closed his eyes as if he were pained as he tried his best to hold in the hurt when sakura did not reply.

does he love me?

sakura waited a moment before slowly moving her hand to rest on top of sasuke's. she gave him a weak smile, but he could tell she had forgiven him.

"i love you..." she whispered before closing her eyes.

there was now peace for her broken heart, and, somehow, sasuke had managed to put the pieces back together.
