Summary: Everybody wishes they could fly... Vampire Fic SasXsaku

Last Chapter on G.W.:

No worries.

Nothing.

Until something caught her in the air that is. Then she was still, everything rushing back to her.

Unanswered Questions

Sakura closed her eyes. Something caught her. How could that be? There were no branches on the cliff, nothing that she could snag her robe on. Why did she stop? She still felt the wind, she felt the chills of the night air. She wasn't dreaming. So why did she stop falling? Desperate to see how she had stopped she opened her eyes. She was…flying. Flying? Flying! She looked down, the ground was moving, she was in the air. How in the hell was she pulling this off? Sakura looked up, two hands held her robe. They looked oddly familiar, she moved her head up higher to see if there was a face. There was…and she couldn't believe who's it was. She didn't believe it so much that it caused her to pass out. Her head swung down and she was sleeping.

"So annoying." the voice said.

It was morning. She was alone. 'How did I get here? I remember…jumping off a cliff. The memories. But…why did I do that?' She thought harder trying to retrace her steps, it hit her, 'He died. That's why...I was flying earlier. Was it a dream?' She took off her robe, her pajamas from the morning earlier were still on her body. Carefully she examined it, where her shoulders were, there were two holes in them. She placed her finger through one of the holes, clarifying if it was real. It was, there were two huge holes in her robe. But why? And from what? She was flying something grabbed her by her shoulders while she was falling, but what? The face. She knew that face. She looked around, she was in the middle of a forest, in a clearing, next to a hole in the Earth. To small to be a cave, but to big to be a burrow. She peered her head in it and saw who saved her earlier, from something that she didn't want to be saved from.

"You have some explaining to do." the voice said.

"So do you." Sakura replied softly.

(Kohona)

"Where is she?" Naruto yelled at Ino.

"I-I don't know she left."

"What do you mean she left Ino? You know how Sakura is! Especially since he left!"

"I know…I know."

"What did she say?" Naruto asked.

"I told her and she got upset. I followed her and she told me to stop. So I did, she left, and I cried myself to sleep here."

"Where did she go?"

"I don't know."

"Think!"

"I'm trying Naruto stop pressuring me!"

"We have to find her!"

"She went to the cliff. The pink-haired girl?" A villager told Naruto.

He nodded confirming that was the girl.

"I didn't mean to eavesdrop but I thought that you should know."

Naruto was immediately interested, "When?"

"Last night."

"Was she alone?

"Yes. She didn't return." The woman said.

"You haven't seen her at all?

"No. And I would be the one to see her. I live here. If I didn't see her than she didn't return."

"Your wrong. She's here."

Ino listened anxiously.

"I'm sorry sir, I didn't mean to upset you." She tried to explain.

"She's here!" Naruto repeated storming off down the roads.

"I-I'm sorry," Ino stuttered, "Naruto wait!" She ran up and grabbed Naruto's arm, "We'll find her."

"I know we will…but what if were too late?"

(Sakura)

"You first." Sakura said.

"No."

"Come out here so we can talk."

"I can't."

"Why not?"

"I'll die."

"Very funny." she said sarcastically, "Come out here."

"Do you want me to die?"

"No. Not again." her voice was quiet and soft, almost blended in with the wind.

"Then you come in here."

"Fine." She crawled on her hands and knees to get into the cavern. Finally there was enough room for her to sit up. "Go."

"Go what?"

"Explain." she confirmed.

"No. You first."

"What do you want to know?"

"What were you doing?" he demanded.

"I jumped off the cliff."

"I know. Why?"

"Because someone told me that someone very close to me died. Someone that I loved."

"Who?"

"You." Sakura said quietly.

"You almost killed yourself for me? Why?"

"I love you Sasuke."

"That's your reason?"

Her heart stung, "Yes."

"…" He gave her a confused looked.

"Life…-sigh-, life wasn't worth living with out you." She gulped, awaiting his reaction. There wasn't one, he still was quiet. "So I went to the spot were I first…told you that I loved you. And…the spot were we…" she stopped, the memories hurt so much. Even though he was alive it still felt like a part of him was dead.

"Kissed?" Sasuke guessed.

"Yes."

"…"

"You remembered?" Her heart jumped.

"Hn." 'A mistake. But something that I enjoyed,' he thought to himself.

"Your turn Sasuke."

"What?"

"Explain. Ino told me that you were dead."

"I am."

"No…" she closed her eyes, "No. Your not."

"The human half of me anyway."

"Human half?"

"Hn."

"Sasuke what are you talking about?"

"I can't tell you."

"Tell me." her voice commanded it.

"No."

"Sasuke. I want to know."

"What Ino told you. Was correct."

"But you a-"

"My shirt was covered in blood. And it was my own."

"How did you survive then? They told Ino that the shirt had so much blood that even if the person did survive…what ever happened to them that they would've been dead soon after from massive blood loss."

"Do things like that ever stop me?" His lips curved into a devious smirk.

"No. Nothing stops you." her tone was sad, her head dropped down as she stared at the ground. 'Not me. Not my feelings. Not even force. You just unbeatable Sasuke. And sometimes…I hate you for that.' she thought.

"Sakura. It was stupid of you to jump off that cliff. To kill yourself for me." Sasuke judged.

"Stupid? Stupid! Sasuke I love you! Ino told me that you were dead. There was nothing else for me to live for!" Her voice raged.

"…."

"What about when your parents died! I bet you wanted to kill yourself! There was no one around to help you. Itachi was gone, your mother and father both gone! You had no one. Just like me. My parents are dead Sasuke! You were dead then. That was stupid to you?"

"My parents are gone Sakura, yes, I know that. The difference between me and you though…Is that I didn't jump off a cliff. I'm here."

"A couple hours ago though…you were dead."

"Sakura I'm not dead!"

"Not now! But then Sasuke. Then was all that mattered to me. I wouldn't even have a 'now' if you didn't save me….Save me wait! How were you flying? How was I flying?"

Sasuke stiffened. His heart raced faster. He contimplated what he should do next.

He went against his better judgement. "Sakura come here. I want to show you something." He motioned her to come closer. She did as he ask but with hesitation. "See?"

"Oh my god!" her voice screeched as it echoed thought the cavern. Bats and birds swarmed out of the cavern.
