'cough cough. Well we better start giving it to people. well have to go house to house thougth." kenji said

"thats alright." sakura said as she started making more antidotes.

"thank you. You should stay for 3 more days to rest before you leave though. You said it was a two day trip right so it better if your fully rested." kenji said

"I think i will."

An hour later

"so then your leaving the day after tomarrow."kenji said

"ya i have to get back to the village." sakura answered

"Its going to be weird without you here."

"ya.If im ever in the area ill stop by." sakura said

"sakura are you done eating?" kenji asked

"ya why."

"do you want to take a walk with me.I want to show you something."

"sure." sakura said. She was curious to see what he was going to show her

"alright lets go then." kenji said. We walked about three blocks when he told me to close my eyes.

"why." sakura asked

"youll see. Just close them."

"k. there close."

"alright here take my hand ill lead you." kenji said while taking sakuras hand. Sakura started walking but felt the ground was softer almost like sand.

"ok open you eyes."

"wow its beautiful." sakura said looking at the beaustiful lake that was infront of her. She was on sand it was a beach. Kenji then sat down so sakura did too.

"Sakura i have something i have to tell you." kenji said

"What is it." sakura said not noticing a chakra pressence near by.

"Sakura this last month has been great. It was great working and living with you. Ive always felt loneliness but when im with you i dont." kenji said gently

"kenji what are you saying." sakura said confused

"what im trying to say is ive fallin in love with you Sakura Haruno." kenji said loudly. He then grabed sakura and crushed his lips to hers. Sakura didnt kiss back she was in shock. After about 20 seconds kenji let her go and pulled away to look at her."

"kenji i..." sakura said but then stop. Sakura felt teh presence of chakra nearby. She stood up and looked around trying to feel where the charkra was coming from.

"Sakura whats wrong." kenji asked worried

"Someones here. Who evers here come out. I know your there." sakura yelled

"Hmph as keen as ever sakrua." a male voice came from the shadows.

"Wait that voice it cant be." sakura said shocked

"S-Sasuke-kun." sakura whispered

"hn." he answered it was indeed him

"w-what are you doing here." she asked him still in shock

"im here for him." he said pointing to kenji

"Why. What does he have to do with you." sakura said getting angry. She was getitng back to normal

"Nothing. Orochimaru wants him." he answered cooly

"no i wont let you have him." sakura said determined

"Sakura step aside i dont have to hurt you. Just move." sasuke said calmly

"no i wont let you have him. Youll have to go through me. Im taking you home whether you like it or not."

"Sakura please ill go with him. Dont fight him i dont want you to get hurt." kenji pleaded

"kenji i wont let you die. I will never lose someone presious to me agian." sakura said determinded

"As foolish and annoying as ever." sasuke said while taking his sword from its seath.

"Sasuke i wont let you get away this time. Your coming home wiht me."

"I dont think so sakura." Sasuke said while charging at sakura

Sakura doged and spinned to kick him. She landed her blow right to his side.

"hm yoove improve some i can see, but your still a weak kunochi." he said smirking

"im not weak not anymore. I trained every day untill i could move for 3 years so dont tell me im weak." sakura screamed at him

" Kenji get out of here. Run." sakura yelled to kenji

"but sakura i cant leave you here." kenji said to her

"Kenji there is nothing you can do youll only get in the way so go." sakura yelled again . He ran the opisite way as her back toward his house.

"Im sorry kenji please forgive me." sakura whispered to herself

"You let your emotion effecet you to much. That why you can never be truly strong." sasuke said to her

"we'll see." she yelled charging at him.

She was aiining a chakra infused punch at his face but he doged. He turned around on his hand and aimed a punch at her stomache which she was barly able to dodge. Then Sakura did some hand signs and there was mist alaround them.

" I see Kakashi has taught you some tricks." sasuke said unimpressed

Sakura knew this would only give her a little bit of time but any advantage would help. She stealthely headed toward sasuke when she heard him say Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu. Sakura barly doged the fired ball. and while she was susuke was able to find her. He aimed his sword at her and it went through her. But then all the sudden a poof of smoke appared and a log was reavealed.

"subsitution justs. How pathetic." sasuke said

Sakura then appared above him. She was aiming another chakra infused punch at his face and this time it connected. She then tried to kick him in the stomache but he punched her in the stomache first.Sakura was sent flying back about 20ft off the beach and into a nearby forest where she was stopped by a tree. Sakura fell to the ground and was holding her stomche becasue the air was knocked out of her when sasuke apeared infront of her with the tip of his sword touching her neck.

"its over sakura." he said motortone

"goahead and kill me im not afraind to die. Your just a coward anyway i dont know why i ever loved you. You say your trying to get revenge on itachi for killing your parents when in reality your no better then him. Your trying to kill your teamates the ones who are presious to you. How does that make you any different." sakura yealled at him

Sasuke then ramed sakura into a tree and stabbed her in the shoulder with his sword. Sakura let out a little wimper from the pain. She felt like crying but she refuse to cry in front of him. He had her arms pinned to her sides the sword was still in her arm and stuck in the tree. Sasuke leaned his face in. He looked so mad that sakura shiverd. He had looked as mad as he did now the whole time sakura new him.

"Sakura take it back. Take back what you said." sasuke said angrily his sharrigan was acctivated.

"no." was all sakura said. Sasuke started to pull the sword out. Then he stabbed her other shoulder. Sakura whimpered again but still refuse to scream or cry.

"Sakura im warning you if you dont take it back ill kill you." sasuke whispered angrily in her ear

"Sasuke how can i take it back when you proving it to be right. Right now." sakura said back to him she would not show weakness to him. Sasuke shoved the sword in father.

"Im nothing like him sakura. He killed my whole clan and betryed the village. How can you even compare me to him." sasuke yelled

"How that any different from what your doing and what your going to do." sakura yelled back

"What do you mean." sasuke asked furious

"Sasuke you betryed the village by going to Orochimaru. And just becasue im not you parents dosnt make a difference. It dosnt matter who you kill. As long as your killing someone close to you its all the same.I dont know why i ever loved a monster like you. But that dosnt mean im giving up i cant becasue of naruto." sakura yelled getting mad

"Its not the same at all." sasuke yelled pulling his sword and backing away. Sakura fell to the ground. She imediatly started healing her shoulders one at a time. When she was done she stood up and got in a fighting stance. Sasuke was just looking at her blankly form about 5 feet away.

"Tell me sasuke why did Orochimaru want kenji?" sakura asked

"He was hoping he would be able to heal his arms." sasuke answer blankly

"ha and how would he do that. HIs medical knowledge is very limited he just started his medical training 2 months ago. He dosnt even have a teacher he just trying to teach himself." sakura said

"but didnt heal cure the diesease in this village." sasuke asked calmly

"No that was me." sakura answed him insulted

"What you." sasuke answed as if that were absurd

"yes me is that hard to belive. I am the aprentice of the 5th hokage." sakura answered insulted agaiin

"hm since that kenji guy didnt turn out to be who Orochimaru thought him to be ill have to take you in his place." sasuke said

"Like hell. Im not going anywhere and either are you im taking you home." sakura yelled

"Hmph since when do you talk like that sakura." sasuke asked with a smirk

"Im not a little girl any more sasuke i can do and say what ever i want."sakura said rebeliously

"Your sure not." he said as he pinned her to a tree.

"What are you doing let go of me you bastard." sakura yelled

"Since when do you talk to me that way." he asked leaning in close to her

"get off. GET OFF I HAT E YOU." she screamed which shocked sasuke for a split second and then he turned back to his cold self. He stabbed his sword trough her sholer again. she whimped

"sakura your going to be coming with me." sasuke said as he hit her hard in the back of the neck

"no sa-su-ke." sakura said as she fell unconshish. Sasuke lifted her onto his back and headed back to the sound village.
