Sasuke POV

I pulled Sakura on my lap as we returned home and sat down on the couch. She snuggled into my chest and I kissed her head, chuckling at her cuteness. I was still uneasy. I knew I was going to have to ask her soon. But God, how much pain would I be putting her through, by just asking? It'd help her in the end. I just have to keep telling myself that. I looked at down at her, so see she was looking up at me, with a worried look on her face.

"What's wrong hun?" I asked. Her small hand cupped my cheek.

"Are you okay? It looked like you were in pain." I sighed, and took her hand in mine.

"I'm okay. It's you I'm worried about." She cocked her head to the side, confused. I shifted uncomfortably. I took her hands in mine and looked at her seriously. "I need to ask you about something. And it's going to be painful, but you near to bare it with me. But I'm going to be here, okay? I just need to know."

"Alright, anything for you." She said in a small, scared voice as she squeezed my hands.

"Sakura…I know when Kabuto attacked you…you saw something very scary. I need to know what that was. I need to know for me to help you." I whispered, looking in her terrified eyes.

"Sa-Sasuke…" Her broken whisper resounded throughout the room as she leaned on me. I wrapped my arms around her. She looked up at me, with tears beginning to stream down her face. I kissed them away. "I was there…that night. Except, I was you, and you were Itachi. It replayed…over and over. All the blood…and you told me…that you would always hate me for what I've done, and that you were just toying with me…waiting for the right time until I was vulnerable enough…you said you'd do terrible things to me. Sasuke…don't make me say it…please…" Those words shattered my heart because I knew I'd have to get her to tell me. For her sake. So she could get better.

"I'm so sorry…I need to know Sakura." I said, kissing her forehead.

"You said you were going to tie me down, while I was naked. And rape me until I was numb. Then you'd slowly and painfully…kill me." Her voice broke on the last part. I just brought her closer as she cried. "Sasuke…don't hurt me…please." She whimpered.

"Never. Never again will I hurt you, like I have before or in that vision. I will never hurt you. I'm so sorry I made you say that." She just gripped my shirt and sobbed in my chest. It felt like forever before she finally stopped crying and fell asleep. I carried her petite form upstairs and laid her to bed, glad she was in comfortable enough clothes to sleep in. I walked downstairs and dialed Tsunade's number, and get her voice mail. I explained everything, and added that this needed to be solved as soon as possible. I walked back upstairs before getting ready for bed and slipping quietly next to Sakura, who instinctively snuggled closer to me.

My eyes groggily opened to see Sakura, who was still fast asleep in my arms. I smiled and kissed her forehead.

"Good morning sweetheart." I whispered, knowing she wouldn't hear me. I got up and went downstairs to check my cell phone for messages, hoping Tsunade would have called and left one. Thankfully she did.

"Thank you for finding out Sasuke. I need you to bring her in at 10 am tomorrow morning. I'm aware of a method that might help her." I looked at my watch. 9:47. Ohh, damn, we had to get going! I rushed upstairs and into the room where Sakura slept. I kissed her on the lips, knowing that would wake her up. She blinked a few times before yawning and sitting up.

"Good morning love." She said smiling.

"Good morning. Listen, Tsunade needs to see us. Right now. So, can you get changed really fast for me?" She nodded, and I left the room, waiting only seconds before she came out, looking adorable as usual. "You ready?"

"Yes!" She smiled, as did I. We walked outside and teleported to the hospital. As we walked inside, Tsunade was standing in the lobby waiting for us.

"Took you long enough" She said sarcastically to me, but smiling to Sakura. "Come, follow me." Sakura took my hand and held it tight. I could tell she was scared. I kissed her nose, and looked her in the eye.

"Everything is going to be alright. Don't worry about anything. I'm right here." She nodded. Tsunade lead us to a dark room at the back of the hospital.

"Where are we going?" Sakura asked. I had no clue. Tsunade hadn't told me anything. She turned to us.

"In just a few minutes, Shizune and some other nurses are going to come and pick you up, Sakura. We're going to help you stop seeing scary things. But we can only do it back here. Sasuke, will you please come with me please?" I nodded slowly, as I told Sakura that I'd be right back and to make herself comfortable. When I heard the door click behind me I looked warily at Tsunade.

"What's going on?" Tsunade shook her head sadly.

"I'm sorry, but I can't say. What we're going to be doing is top secret, and only few people in this village know about it. But you can't be around her until she's completely alright. Sasuke, I'm sorry." I nodded sadly.

"How long?"

"At least two days."

"…alright. Tell her I love her, and I'll see her soon."
