I hope you like it and for my other readers that a are waiting for typical love story its coBlossom of Konoha

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry it took me so long to get this chapter up: You know school started a long time ago, so don't kill me, okay? First, before the story, let's see the couple votes: (I'm just going to say EVERY single couple mentioned.

InoxSai: two

InoxChouji: three

InoxKiba: two

InoxShino: two

InoxShikamaru: two

Like, OMG! INO'S GONNA BE WITH CHOUJI! (faints and dies) How ironic.

------------------------------------------------------------------

" NO, Sasuke!" Sakura cried out. "Don't do it! I'll never see you again!"

" He'll be the leader of Otogakure. He can make the decision." Karin's face showed no emotion as she pressed a button on a remote, releasing all three. " You have to leave. If you don't, we'll kill you." Everyone began for the nearest exit. Sakura hesitated.

" Sakura!" Naruto grabbed her hand and led her away.

" SASUKE! DON'T YOU DARE FORGET ME!" Her voice echoed, then disappeared.

Sasuke clenched his hands.

" I won't. I promise." Karin smiled at him.

" Come, my lord. Your throne awaits you. There is much to be done." Sasuke looked over his shoulder, deeply regretting what he had just done.

" Sakura…"

------------------------------------------------------------------

Ino leaned on Chouji for support and bawled out,

" He's gone! He's really gone!" Chouji hugged her and scrunched up his face in jealousy.

" You do know that he was Sakura'sboyfriend, right?" Ino just cried into his shirt, ignoring him. Sakura scowled at him and pouted as they left the outskirts of Otogakure.

" He had better not forget me." Despite her tone, a tear slid down her pale face.

" SASUKE-KUN!!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sasuke turned at the sound of Sakura's voice. Karin twitched.

" Ignore her. Let's go." Sasuke frowned. He dug his heels into the concrete floor, and tore his hand away from Karin's.

" How could you?" He stared at her intensely. Karin blinked.

" What?"

" How could you use them just for me? What kind of wicked place is this? I don't want to lead a place like this!" Karin touched his arm. Sasuke jerked away.

" My place is with Konoha." He turned to leave. Suigetsu sighed.

" Sasuke! If you lead us, you'll have the power to change that!" Jugo called. Sasuke stopped in his tracks, but made no move to turn around. Suigetsu scrunched his nose and relented.

" He's right, pretty boy. This will be a better place if you lead us. Orochimaru-sama left it in ruins." Sasuke stood there.

Sakura…

Otogakure…

Love…

Leadership…

And there was no way to have them both.

Otogakure is falling apart.

So is Sakura.

He feels responsibility. He has to take charge of Otogakure.

But he's also responsible for Sakura's feelings.

" GAAH!" Sasuke fell to his knees, clutching his head. Karin ran to him.

" What's wrong, Sasuke-kun?" The boy pushed her away.

" I… I… oh!" He took out a kunai, ready to stab her, but stopped as he saw the pink, flowing ribbon wrapped around it. "Sakura…" He closed his eyes.

" I'll stay.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura wailed, blubbering out the mission to Tsunade.

" Sakura… calm down…" Naruto touched her shoulder.

" HE'S GONE! HOW COULD HE?" she fell to her knees. " HE HAD BETTER KEEP THAT PROMISE! THAT STUPID PROMISE!" She began sobbing uncontrollably. Tsunade sighed. She opened a drawer and handed something to Sakura.

" Here." Sakura looked up, sobbing, and realized what she was holding.

" Sasuke's forehead protector…" She remembered the times she was with him. "He wasn't wearing it." She gripped it tightly, and held on as if it were her whole world.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Before you guys all kill me, I'm just going to say that the reason this was so short is because… (Takes a deep breath) This story is now over and I will be working on a sequel. (Winks) You don't think I would have left this story like this, did you?

Please review! I'm almost at 100 reviews! (Fangirly squeal)

ming ok!

I left all of uchihakiriko original things on I didn't change a thing I just copied and pasted things to a document and if you want proof you can come over and see all the grammar errors, Uchihakiriko I'm not saying anything about your grammar cause mines even worse. I hope you liked it as much as I do. No flames are allowed.
