It was funny, really. She'd never thought of this Sasuke as a person she'd willingly die for. Many times she thought, if he were in danger or dying, she'd just go ahead and let him. She didn't like him, he was always playing all the girls in the village, and…sometimes most importantly…he'd almost played her.
Yet, when she saw the jutsu coming, she didn't even think, she just…ran. There wasn't even time to move him, so there certainly wasn't time for conflicted thoughts.
She curled around him instinctively, shielding him with her body and shuddering with the impact of the water arrows.
She felt dazed. Vital points had been crushed, she only had moments until the water arrow-tips would explode inside her and kill her.
His face wasn't so bad to look up at as the last thing she'd ever see. At least there was that.
"Sasu…ke…."
She never got to hear whatever he was going to say in response.
It was probably best.
