Blood Bride

Together?

She gasped sitting up quickly, her eyes snapping open. She looked beside her to see him lying next to her, she blinked and smiled slightly. She brushed his fringe out of his eyes and lay beside him watching his sleeping figure. He moved in his sleep his arms wrapping around her unconsciously, she sighed and shut her eyes her head against his chest. Suddenly an image flashed against her eye lids and she opened them again, her breathing hard. She shut them tightly and put her arms around him. She knew that when he woke…he would want to go again…but she wanted to change his mind.

"Please don't leave me…" she whispered "I don't think I can do that again." Despite what she thought he heard all of this. As he felt her relaxing again and drifting into sleep he opened his eyes exhaling quietly. He looked down at the girl that was nestled in his arms, it almost made him laugh, she needed him so much and he didn't even know why.

He needed her too.

Suddenly his sharingan activated as he heard something move, his expression darkened and he carefully unwrapped her from his arms and stood up. He raised his head, his eyes blood red.

"Get your hands off my wife." The voice was harsh and angry; Sasuke could see his silhouette in the moon light.

"Last time I checked…" he drew his sword "You stabbed her at the alter." The man laughed, he was still wearing his suit and Sasuke's expression didn't change even though he was burning with anger inside. He hated this man…more than a lot of people. "So…she's not your wife."

"I'll think you'll find she's still mine." Sasuke raised his eyebrows

"You seriously think I'm going to let you take her?" he smirked and looked at the man. The man smiled

"You're not going to let me take her…your going to give her to me." Sasuke remained calm.

"Sorry. Doesn't work that way."

"Stop." She was already awake. She stood and faced the new man. "Listen to me, your fight is with me. Not him." She said, the groom smiled

"Oh…but it is with him Sakura. It's always been with him." She frowned and looked at him,

"Why?" she said sharply,

"Because you're in love with him. Isn't it obvious? We need to talk."

"I'm not going anywhere with you…" she swallowed,

"Really?" he laughed, he cracked his knuckles and walked towards the two, Sasuke's sword caught the light as he held it in front of him. A hand came to Sasuke's; he turned his head to face her.

"No…this is my fight." She stepped in front of him and faced Akira "I may be weak at the moment…but it doesn't mean I can't beat you." She smiled and brought out a kunai, "Don't push it…" she hissed her eyes narrowed. He laughed and they began to fight. She hit him so hard he crashed into a tree, but sprung forward knocking her off her feet with a punch to the stomach. As she crashed backwards she sent shuriken at him. He jumped backwards and smiled as she pushed herself up from the ground. They took blows again and in the end he smashed her into a tree his hand at her neck, she couldn't breath. He laughed but suddenly stopped when he felt cold metal at his throat.

"Let her go. Or I'll kill you. Simple." He said still without any expression,

"So…Uchilia…are you still betraying the village?" he asked smirking, Sakura swallowed, she needed this answer. She looked at him. Her green eyes shinning at him.

"Yes."

Akira was so suprised he let his guard down.

She felt the pressure lessen from her throat and coughed being able to breathe again. She gripped the bark and looked away from him. A silent tear ran down her cheek and she wiped it away angrily, suddenly a rush of adrenaline shot through her and she screamed in anger. She launched herself at him; of course he was quicker than her…

Her fist smashed into the ground causing it to erupt in a splutter of rocks.

"You've improved." He said and she turned her eyes flashing and launched another chakra filled punch at him, he dodged it making her fist rocket into a tree. Her punches and kicks were fast and quick, but he saw them coming.

"FIGHT BACK!" She screamed at him, a smirk appeared at his face and he flipped up onto a branch. She was breathing heavily and glaring up at him.

"No." She gritted her teeth and pushed off the ground with her feet flying into the tree and landing face to with him. His expression was emotionless but not cold. "Have you finished?" he questioned, a hint of humour in his voice.

"No!" She growled he stood and watched her; she flipped up and started to try and hit him again. He dodged each punch walking backwards along the branch. The last bit was in slow motion; she took her hand back and threw it forward her fist surrounded by chakra,

She really wanted to hurt him… just like he'd hurt her…

Suddenly her fist stopped, it came in contact with his hand and her punch just stopped, she hadn't realised how close they were. He was staring at her. All that could be heard was her breathing…how wasn't he out of breath?

"Finished?" He repeated, she glared at him once more and tried to walk away but her fist was caught in his hand and he wouldn't let go. She turned back to him.

"What else do you want?!" she was angry, so angry at him, how could he do this to her? Kiss her, give her her dream and then get up and leave again?

"Why are you angry…you couldn't of expected me to have stayed." His tone was calm,

"Well I thought this meant I meant slightly more to you than someone who you can just…just" she was trying to find the words but this argument was making her want to burst into tears, over the last couple of days she'd been through to much and her heart was physically hurting. "Throw aside." Her green eyes closed and she sighed deeply.

"You know what? I'm not even surprised." She sat down on the branch and swallowed, her eyes were burning for tears "I'm so tired."

"Sleep then." It was the best she was going to get, she laughed

"It's easy to say that isn't it."

Ohhhh will he stay?? WHO KNOWS!
