As soon as he came he left, fleeing the tower and running towards the heat of the city. He ran in and out of every shop, stand, and store he could see. He would ask the villagers and they would answer him out of fear. He was tired and frustrated; he spent all day looking for Sakura but could find no trace nor any evidence.
He walked slowly towards his favorite field; it was lined with sakura trees. The blossoms reminded him of her cotton candy pink hair. The sun was setting, causing the sky to turn gorgeous shades of red, the colors of her flushed cheeks. Sasuke screamed her name as he punched the soft green grass. He saw something stir and pulled out a kunai, and then it was silent. He approached the hunched figure carefully and noticed the mop of pink hair.
-Sakura?
He quickly discarded the weapon and ran to hold her in his arms. Her eyes fluttered open, her emerald eyes had lost their shine, they were dull and emotionless, much like his own onyx ones.
-Sasuke?
He hugged her tightly to his chest, taking in her strawberry scent. He looked her over and took notice of the caked blood on her usually creamy skin, and the many kanai and katana that were logged into her petite body.
-I'm so glad I found you!
He tried to comfort her as he was removing the weapons from her body. Sasuke took of him shirt and ripped it into strands, he would the cloth around her wounds carefully and gently making sure not to cause more pain. He craved to see those eyes again, her breathtaking smile. Sasuke realized that it was just a matter of time; he knew she would die soon…very soon. He felt a tear run down his cheek and fall onto hers. She reached her hand to his face.
-Are you crying?
He hugged her tightly and stuck his face in her hair.
-Sakura. I-I…love you.
Her eyes fluttered open and a small blush crept to her cheeks. Her eyes seemed to have a happy glow to them. He gathered her in his arms and started back towards the Hokage's tower. He knew she had no chakra left and wouldn't be able to heal herself.
-Sakura, keep your eyes open, we need to get you to Tsunade as fast as possible.
They both knew that she wasn't going to make it that long. He jumped through the trees, tearing his gaze from hers as seldom as possible. Her chakra was slipping away and her body was becoming colder every moment. Her breathing was slow and her heart was beating erratically, she was fighting death.
-I…love you…too. She whispered.
She fell limply in his arms. For the first time since the massacre, Uchiha Sasuke cried, none of the teary-eyed stuff, he was actually sobbing. He was once again too late to save the ones dearest to him.
Sasuke got back to the tower with a cold and dead Sakura in his arms. He had no shirt on and face was tear stained from all the crying he had done. He laid her down on a spare bed in the hospital and caressed her face; he entwined her pink locks with his finger and stared. He took her pale face in his large calloused hands and kissed her passionately, knowing she couldn't feel it. He slowly walked slowly out of the room, it had been a long time, but he tried to imagine what she would look like if she were still alive. She would flush prettily and look at him innocently with her green eyes that mimicked an emerald reflecting the sun's light. And he was glad that he got to see her smile, and her emerald eyes, and the unique pink hair, but most of all, he was glad that he told her.

So that's the end!!
I would love some feedback, what you liked, didn't like, and constructive criticism.
Anyway,
Hope you enjoyed it!
P.S. New story coming out, haven't decided on a title yet but keep on the look out. I believe it's going to be a Sasuke centric.
