Wow, I'm super behind and I intend to catch up ASAP. My grandmother died recently and it's been really hard to write. Anyways I all hope you're having a great SS Month :) and my tumblr is- sunnyplace-nh. If I have time I'll make a video for this! I made this in Sakura's POV.

I do not own Naruto at all.

Day 2: Late

If it was a second more or a second less, would the circumstances be the way they were now? Would I be able to save Sasuke-kun from the desert dimension if one of the two things were to happen? The burn on my right arm is a constant reminder to me for how far I'd go for him.

What if I was late?

Obito would've died in vain and my chakra would've been depleted. And once again, if Sasuke were to escape from that dimension, he'd probably remind me how useless I am... I wanted to show him who Sakura Haruno really is. I'm not just some lovesick girl, desperate to gain his affections. I am fierce and I won't allow the man I love to fail.

If another second were to pass, I wouldn't be in his arms. He wouldn't acknowledge me if was another second. His words proved to me that he still cares, even if it's just a little. Sasuke-kun has changed so much since that night, he's almost unrecognizable. But I saw it, I saw that little ounce of the man I fell in love with... who I am still in love with.

Being too late isn't something for me to think about. I made it just in time. I finally did something to help him. When I feel how close he holds onto me, I know in my heart that my love for him didn't go to waste. He isn't a bad guy, even if he wants to be.

He's just Sasuke.
