Sakura continued to watch the door wearily. She had been hiding out in her living room, making sure Naruto or Sasuke or Haku didn't appear. She wanted her Naruto to come back, so she could get married quickly. She hated that her ex-teammates and someone who she killed were haunting her. But she didn't care, she had Naruto, she had Namikaze Naruto all to herself.

Laughing softly, she wiped her nose. And when a knock came, she jumped. It's him… it's Sasuke, or Haku, here to kill me! She reached for the kunai conveniently placed at her side and held it out. No way were they getting in her way. She was going to have Naruto one way or another, whether their spirits liked it or not.

Standing up, she walked over to the door, still dressed in a pink tank-top and a white skirt, and opened the door. Screaming, she tried to stab the spirit with her kunai.

"Whoa, whoa! Sakura-chan, what are you doing?!"

Her wrist was caught, stopping her from hurting him. She watched with wide eyes. It wasn't the spirit Naruto, it was the current Naruto. Wearing a turtleneck sweater and orange shorts. He wasn't the Naruto who wanted to kill her. Without replying she hugged him tightly and cried into his shoulder. How could this happen? She missed him so much. She couldn't let Sasuke and Haku win, not ever.

"Oh Naruto! I'm so scared, we have to get married tomorrow," she said. Naruto seemed to turn stiff.

Tomorrow? But I can't! We planned a whole week before the wedding! If she does tomorrow, I might actually have to marry her! He tensed. What could he do? He couldn't drop his cover and let her know he was Uzumaki Naruto again. "A-ah, of course, Sakura-chan," he said. She looked down at him and smiled softly. "Oh, thank you, Naruto. I feel so happy," she said. She kissed his cheek, and tenderly kissed his cheek.

"You know… I was thinking, why we don't have an early, honeymoon?" she asked. He stepped back, knowing that this was too far. Sasuke would kill her if she touched him. "I have to go and report back. You know how I finished this mission and all. I'm gonna go see Iruka-sensei too!" Naruto exclaimed. "I'll be back in an hour or something, okay?"

She smiled and nodded. "Okay, Naruto. Just be here or I'll be really disappointed," she added. When he was gone, she burst out laughing. I'm getting him forever, Sasuke. You can't stop me!

Naruto rang the bell. He needed more help. This part of the plan was unclear, and Sakura had completely messed it all up. How did she change it like that? I don't wanna marry her! The door opened to reveal Naruto's always favorite Sensei, Iruka. He waved and walked inside. As he expected, Iruka had no idea he could remember everything now.

"Good morning, Namikaze-kun. What brings you here?" he asked. Naruto had kept no contact with Iruka because of Sakura. It would surprise the man to hear Naruto remembered each word he had said in his past life. He grinned cheekily and unexpectedly hugged him. He had a daddy again, a real father. Not the father in this life, who tried to kill him for something out of his control. Not his father in his past life who died saving a village. "Iruka-sensei, when're you treating me to ramen? I haven't seen Konohamaru in a long time, is he okay?" he asked. "How come you stopped teaching at the academy? My headband that you gave me should be here, can I have it back?"

Iruka hugged him tightly, and if that didn't prove that he understood, then the tears hitting Naruto should have. Iruka knew he was Uzumaki Naruto again. "Naruto… it's been so long since I last saw you. I missed you so much, I can't believe Sakura-san would lie so much," he said. Naruto pulled back and shook his head. "Sasuke and Haku and I are getting back at her. I need your help," he explained. "We're… getting married tomorrow. I can't leave Konohagakure. But you and Kakashi-sensei can. Please go find Haku and Sasuke and tell them to do something."

Iruka's eyes narrowed, and Naruto knew he was mad too. I know Iruka-sensei knows Sakura's wrong. He'll definitely help me! "I can't leave, Naruto. She suspects me, right from the start, she's been keeping an eye on me, making sure I don't contact you and try to tell you about Sasuke-san," Iruka explained. "Your best chance might be… might be to send someone else after them."

Naruto didn't know anyone else he could trust. Who else in the village might believe him? "Kakashi-sensei is the only one who can pass," Iruka explained. "I'll speak to him about this. You prepare for the wedding. Is there any way for him to tell where Haku and Sasuke-san are?" Naruto thought it over, he really did. How could Sasuke and Haku tell where he was? And then it occurred to him.

"Take this, it'll show them for sure that the great Uzumaki Naruto is sending them a message!"

Iruka smiled at Kakashi, before handing him Sasuke's old headband, and then pointed to the forest. "He says they should be around there. Can you track them down?" he asked. Kakashi shrugged and then kissed the much shorter man on the cheek. He would miss Iruka dearly. But Naruto's goal was more important. He was just glad that he had gotten the chance to put a stop to Sakura's tirade. She was annoying so many people.

"I'll be back, before you know it," Kakashi said. Iruka continued to smile up at him. "And I'll even have that new addition of Icha Icha Yaoi just for—" he began, only to have his precious dolphin cut him off with a glare. Turning around, he decided this was the only way this might work. Pulling out his summoning contract, he smiled and decided Pakkun needed some re-training. In finding Sasuke's scent.

Out of the blue, Sasuke found Kakashi's dog standing before them. It was holding his headband. Obviously, Naruto had sent the dog, and Kakashi was on his way here too. Haku was still sitting with his mask on, his face ever calm and ever collected, Sasuke could tell. If Kakashi had been sent, something had gone wrong. And Naruto couldn't do anything on his own. He needed their help.

"Where's Kakashi?" he asked. Pakkun dropped the hitai-ate and looked back at the forest behind him. "He's headed her now. He's got real bad news," Pakkun said. With a sigh, Sasuke continued to look at the fire. Naruto, be safe.

Naruto laid his clothes down on the bed and sighed at the tuxedo. He didn't want to be married to Sakura. He didn't want to be her boyfriend. He liked being with Sasuke, he liked being himself. Why did things go wrong so suddenly?

With a sigh, he thought over how he had just gotten closer to Sasuke. He had just felt like himself again, and already things were going bad. What if Kakashi-sensei didn't find Sasuke? Would he have to marry Sakura and have kids with her? Could she even have kids? She's a pedophile, and I have to be with her!

He felt tears prickle his cheeks. Why did she want him of all people? Why won't she just find another guy? He sighed and pushed the tuxedo down, before cuddling into the bed and trying to sleep.

"Do you, Namikaze Naruto, take Haruno Sakura to be your beloved wife?"

Sasuke held out his hands and wanted to shout, he really did. He wanted to stop them from getting married, but he froze up at how they didn't even bother moving.

"I do."

And when Naruto scooped her into his arms and kissed her, his mind shattered. His world broke apart, and his heart was turned into an empty hole, an aching, empty hole.

Sasuke sat up, breathing heavily. He had to stop the wedding. In any way. He had to keep Naruto from being near her in any way he could. There was nothing he wanted more than Naruto, nothing he wanted more than that idiotic blond. Even if it meant going back to Konohagakure, he'd do anything for Naruto.

Standing up, he snarled and looked over at Haku, who was blinking in tired confusion. There was no way Naruto was slipping out of his grasp. Certainly not for Sakura. Haku continued to look over at him, there was confusion on his feminine features. It was decided. His eternal promise, to keep away from Konohagakure, was being broken today. Konoha was going to be revisited by Sasuke, and he would make sure his blond stayed with him.

"I'm prepared. We're going to stop the wedding," he said. Haku sighed and reached for his mask. It was morning. And only a short time till the wedding, and Sasuke had to appear there as Uchiha Sasuke, not as anyone else. He had to take Naruto by force, and break Sakura completely. But this time, Haku couldn't help. It was up to him alone. Haku nodded and covered his face with the mask. "I will follow you there. Upon reaching the chapel, you will go alone," he explained. "I myself must create some havoc to assure Sakura-san is aware of how angry we are."

It was set. Sakura's end had arrived. Sasuke didn't regret a thing he planned to do.

Naruto fixed the bowtie, and fixed his hair. He had his doubts that Kakashi had found Sasuke. He was worried. How could he marry her when he loved Sasuke? How could he marry her when she lied about everything? About the person who he was living with since childhood being his murderer, when it was the other way around? He couldn't marry her, there had to be another way.

His eyes watered over, and he felt his insides crumble. Was he going to end up being her husband? Forever and ever? Would they have kids, that wouldn't get his love because he didn't love her? Tears dripped down his skin, just as the door was knocked on. "Naruto, let's go! It's the wedding day!" Sakura's voice exclaimed.

What was there to be excited about? His doom? Had he ever felt so hopeless? Biting his bottom lip, Naruto opened the door and faced Sakura. His new future.

Sasuke stood before the gates. It was hard to step back here. He felt that part of his life resurface. And he couldn't go back. He was a traitor, they pinned him against his brother, forever distancing him from Itachi. No, not just his brother, his father. He had no father, no brother; he had nothing now. They deserved to rot because of Sakura.

But Naruto didn't. He didn't deserve to rot with her, he deserved a happy life. He deserved to have what he wanted, because each time he tried to be such a good person.

And if he wants me back in, in that place, and for me to forgive Konohagakure, then I will, Sasuke thought. I'd die over and over if he asked me to. He stepped inside, and without waiting for Haku, who he was certain was nearby, he ran into the village.

A bell rang, just as Naruto felt the crowd look in awe at Sakura. He peeked behind at his bride-to-be. Dressed in a white kimono with her hair tied up, she looked pretty, though much too old for him. The church was beautiful, except she wasn't the one he wanted to be here with. He wished Sasuke were here. But he knew for sure it would never happen.

Sasuke hated Konoha, and he'd never come save him. His world would end with Sakura. He didn't want it.

The priest coughed, bringing his attention to the front. Sakura stood beside him, smiling prettily. "We are gathered here to bring these two together in holy matrimony—" the Priest began, but Sakura glared, bringing him to the lines she wanted. "Do you, Haruno Sakura, take Namikaze Naruto to be your husband?" the Priest asked.

She said yes, and looked over at Naruto, grinning happily. "Do you, Namikaze Naruto, take her to be your wife?" the Priest asked. He opened his mouth, about to speak, but the doors to the Church swung open, and there, in all of his glory, stood Sasuke. The same Sasuke who swore he'd never enter Konohagakure.

"Sakura… I want you away from my Naruto, or I'll make sure you'll never see a thing again…"

He's here.

He's here, skin and flesh, taking Naruto from her. Sakura screamed and covered her eyes. Another dream, it had to be. But it sounded so real. He was here, Sasuke, was here. He was alive, so was Naruto. He had come back to take Naruto from her. She quickly gathered her chakra and ran at him, about to punch him in the face. No one was better than her, certainly not a little fifteen year old brat. He wasn't going to ruin her marriage to Naruto.

Just as she went to punch him, an ice wall came up from nowhere, stopping her attack. As her fist made contact with the ice, she felt its shards dig into her skin. Letting out a bloody scream, she pulled back and blew on her hand, which was bleeding. Only one person could do that. As she feared, at the side of the chapel doors stood Haku, with a mask, still the same person who controlled ice so easily. H-he lived… this is his and Sasuke's fault! If Naruto remembers now, it's their fault! Turning around, she put on a pitiful look for Naruto, her Naruto.

"Please, stop them, Naruto. I-I'm in so much pain," she whimpered.

Naruto, suddenly, grinned over at Sasuke. She feared that grin. Because it wasn't Namikaze Naruto's grin, it was Uzumaki Naruto's signature grin. With his eyes lighting up, the same mischievous look all over him. It was her ex-teammates eyes, not her fiancé/lovers eyes. "You lose, Sakura-chan. We're putting an end to this," Haku spoke out.

Sasuke walked past her, and she felt it. Cold wind. She had lost. Naruto and Sasuke were back, and Haku was still alive. All of Konoha witnessed her defeat, all in one move. She stared in shock as Sasuke hugged Naruto, and she felt her world crack. Nothing left of her. Ashes and bones, all that was left of her pride, her glory, her victory against Sasuke. Screaming in anger, she tried to pour all of her emotions out.

"Why him?! Why not me?! What do I lack?!" she screamed at Naruto. "Why does he always get everything?!" "Because, the same reason I got Naruto before, Sakura. He simply always thinks of me, even when I half killed him, when I did kill him, and lastly, when he's in the arms of someone like you," Sasuke answered. His statement, so simple yet so rough. She screamed and whipped a knife from her dress, and then swiftly stabbed herself in the stomach.
