I don't own Naruto and characters etc.

I do own this story so please don't copy it exactly, but you're welcome to as many of my ideas as you like.

With the greatly apreciated permission of BlackElement7, CrimsonSakuratree I begin writing what I hope will be an amazing Story! (Check out their stories (my inspiration): Not Weak!, Untold Secrets).


Chapter 31 -

"Sasuke? I'm sorry."

"Hn. Whatever. So you have a weakness for my brother?"

Sakura was a little fazed by the question, but stood fast.

"Uhh... Yes."

Sasuke looked away.

"But, sometimes I think I love you too Sasuke..." Inner looked him in the eyes, swearing by what she'd said.

"Hn."

Inner couldn't take it anymore.

She leapt across the meter between them and drove a kunai through the clones' arm.

She smiled and jumped up, avoiding three well thrown shuriken.

"You're good but that won't be enough."

She petaled beside him, but faced the opposite way.

"I don't even bleed anymore." She smirked, turning to him.

"You're a wonderful liar Sakura."

"Oh yes? We'll see."

Sasuke launched a punch, that Sakura grabbed, before throwning.

She threw him hard, but as he flew past her ear, he whispered:

"'Don't even bleed' my ass." As he whipped a kunai through her side, just below her ribs, causing an incision and drawing blood.

Sakura was lost for anything.

She fell from the rock she'd been on, into the river as a bright flash occured.

And Sasuke, stood stoically on the river bank, looking on as a wet and rather pathetic looking Sakura splashed up onto the waters edge.

"Please Sasuke, help me." Sakura wimpered from the bank, shivering all over her body.

Sasuke sighed and lent an elegant hand down to the girl.

There was a moment of pure surprise when Sakura pulled the hand toward her.

And Sasuke was beseeched to the same cool water.

He came up, flipping his wet hair over and smoothing it with his hands.

Sakura wasn't going to wait for Inner to take over, she tackled the boy onto the rocks behind him and placed a quick peck before diving off into the water.

"You didn't actually think I'd need help to get out of the water?" Sakura teased, coming up from the water, about 2 meters away.

"No, but you looked so helpless." Sasuke laughed, looking the happiest he had in a while.

How strange that he should be happy now.

"Oh?" Sakura giggled, splashing water into his eyes.

The two began fighting in the most perculia way under the most perculia circumstances, their team having been knocked out and left in a forest.

"Come back here!" Sakura exclaimed, jumping after Sasuke, only to have him appear behind her and push her under the water.

When she came up she spat the water out and wiped the limp hair from her eyes.

Sasuke reached out and brushed the final bang from her closed orbs.

Sakura left her eyes closed, sensing his chakra nearing her own.

Concentrated on him, and letting the rest of the world slip by, she failed to notice the arrival of a man overlooking the river.

"Sakura-chan, I thought you might've come home by now."
