Once Karin left to allow Sakura to rest, Sakura practically sobbed as she went into meditation, deep into her mind.

'Inner.'

Her negative shaded self appeared before, hands on her hips.

'Quite a mess you've gotten yourself into.'

'Yeah, no shit.'

'Hey, don't give me sass. I'm just saying.'

'Can you do it? Can you really hide my memories from Kuromaru?'

Inner raised an eyebrow haughtily. ''Can I hide your memories-' Of course I can! This is ourmind. Nobody is getting to your memories without my say so. But it will be time consuming.'

'What do you mean?'

Then suddenly, instead of just a sea of black around them, ribbons of film clips circulated around them purposefully, playing clips of her life.

'Memories aren't just like mental videos. They are make up our personality. Because memories hold such vital parts of our lives, they are irreplaceable. You have lost that memory of Sasuke's first arrival. That is beyond saving, there's nothing I can do to salvage it.'

'So how do we save the others?'

'We don't have much time before Kuromaru comes so we must be quick. You need to decide what memories will be locked away first. You'll need to relive them again for them to be sealed away properly.'

'Naruto and Sasuke,' was the first thing that came to mind. 'Put away all memories of Naruto and Sasuke's medical examinations as well as when I was with them during the war. I learnt a lot about their powers then.'

Inner nodded and caught one of the ribbons and letting it slip through until it came to a certain part. 'Alright then. Let's get down to business.'

She cut the ribbon and Sakura's mind was shrouded in light.

The first thing Sarada knew when she came to was the pain that suddenly engulfed her body and she couldn't help the whimper that escaped her. She winced before finally opening her eyes. She could see it was night going by the inky darkness she could make out through an opening of the window.

That brought her to her next realisation. Her eyesight was amazing! Not only were things clearer, but sharper and more focused.

"Meinu?" A gentle voice whispered to her.

Her eyes flickered to the side, her unknown ruby gaze pinning Bolt to his spot as he held their intertwined hands close to his chest.

"H-Haisha," she stated, voice raspy and dry from disuse.

What was going on?

Her eyes looked around, confused before they landed on the figure silent and asleep in the chair on the other side of her bed.

"T...Tou-san?" She wondered.

The person in question roused from sleep, blinking mismatching eyes before realizing she was awake.

Before he could speak though, the events that landed her in the hospital in the first place hit her like a blow to her stomach and she choked on a scream.

Sasuke was beside her in an instant but despite this, she thrashed around wildly. Kuromaru. All she could see was Kuromaru, smirking at her wickedly as he taught her what true pain really felt like, both physically and emotionally. The heart monitor screeched as the organ pounded away furiously in her chest from such distress and even as several hands restrained her, it only fuelled her conscious nightmare. She screamed as she struggled under the hands.

"Don't touch me!" She screamed. "No!"

"Sarada, calm down!" Sasuke tried but his voice was lost to her.

He could see it in her spinning Sharingan. She wasn't with them at the moment. She was lost to her fear. Her piercing screams echoed throughout the hospital as more nurses rushed to help restrain her. Sobs and screams were the only thing to leave her lips as she thrashed, tearing out the drips as a result and splattering blood about.

Tsunade barrelled into the room, shoving nurses and doctors alike aside. "Move!"

She reached over the restraining hands, grasping Sarada's chin and forcing her to stare deep into honey orbs.

"Look at me, Sarada," she commanded.

Despite her constant struggles, her screams died down to whimpers, whines and sobs.

"That's right, it's me. Do you recognise me?"

Sarada was panting as she continued to pull at the hands on her.

"Enough, child. You are safe- no, look at me," Tsunade ordered. "What is your name?"

"S-Sarada," she managed to choke out.

"Sarada who?"

"U-Uchiha. Sarada Uchiha."

Tsunade nodded. "That's right. Remember that, Sarada. Remember who your parents are."

Her struggling stopped and instead, she broke into more sobs. She remembers. And she remembers her mother being taken.

As he watched his daughter so broken and afraid, he feared for his wife and he realised at that moment as a lone tear rolled down his cheek...

...he'd never hated anyone more than he hated himself.

Karin ate silently at the table across from Kuromaru.

"What's the matter, my love?" Kuromaru wondered. "You've been very quiet since we returned from retrieving the woman."

She gave him a weak smile. "Nothing, love. It's nothing."

Kuromaru shrugged as he continued to eat. "If you say so."

As more time passed at the table, she couldn't continue.

"Actually, something is bothering me," she admitted as she placed down her chopsticks.

Kuromaru raised an eyebrow but didn't pause in his eating.

"About Sakura-"

"Fun, isn't she?" Kuromaru asked, smiling. "She has the loveliest screams when I force myself into her mind. She's also quite stubborn so I've really got to tear at her head to get her to make a sound otherwise she'd swear herself to silence."

Karin grimaced. "What are your plans for her, exactly? Do I still get to decide her fate?" She asked tentatively.

Kuromaru spared her a curiously look as he sipped his tea.

"I still need her to break Sasuke," he stated. "I've come up with some very creative ideas."

The cruel smile had Karin afraid to ask but she felt she owed it to Sakura to know.

"Oh? And what would they be?"

His eyes lit up with malice. "Once she has those children, I will allow her to bond with them. Right before I break their necks before her eyes."

The red-head couldn't hide the horror on her face but yet, he continued.

"With them out of the way, once her body has recovered from childbirth, she will be violated."

"V-Violated? You don't mean-"

He chuckled darkly as he looked at her over his cup.

"That's right. I'm going to rape her."

Sakura only half-heartedly heard the door open. She was pulled from a memory as she was shaken to attention.

"W-What?" She wondered, taking in the woman gripping her shoulders. "Karin, what's going on?"

Karin's face was distorted in panic. "You can't stay here anymore!"

She started pulling on the chains, fumbling with the key that would unlock them.

"Karin-"

"He's going to rape you when your body recovers from having the babies, Sakura! Please," she begged. "Understand the situation you're in. Not only that, he plans to kill them once they're born!"

Fear seized her stomach.

The last of her chains was released and Karin stood, pulling on her hand. "Come on, we need to get you out."

But the pinkette refused to move. Karin spun around, glaring at her.

"What the hell are you doing? You need to leave!"

"No..."

"No?! Sakura, he'll-"

"And where the hell will I go?" Sakura snapped, glaring up at her. "Where can I go that he cannot reach me with that shadow ability of his?"

Karin was suddenly kneeling before her, grasping her hands tightly. Fearfully.

"Sakura, I-" Karin choked on her words, at a loss. "I hate you."

Sakura drew back slightly.

"I hate you and the fact that you have what I don't," Karin continued. "But you don't...you don't deserve this. No one deserves this."

"Karin-"

"I can't stand to see you being tortured like this. I-I thought that...I thought that I'd be happy if you died. But your death won't make Sasuke-kun love me. It won't accomplish anything but pain for him and your friends."

Sakura managed to free her hands from her grasp, only to cradle Karin's.

"I have a plan to save the babies," she murmured.

"What about you? Aren't you scared about what he's going to do to you?"

"No."

Sakura gave her a sad smile.

"My body is weak," she murmured. "Once the twins are born, I'll die."

VAGINA!

No...

I've legit run out of things to tell you guys.

I have to say though, I love this Karin.

Less annoying.

I think Karin became less annoying to me now purely becoz I know SasuSaku is canon.

You can try, bitch. But Sakura's tappin' dat fine Uchiha ass.

At least...it was fine before he started wearing a poncho and seemed to just eradicate body and muscle mass.

Your favouritism's showing, Kishi.

God forbid Sasuke keeps his sexy appearance when Naruto seems to beef up.

I think its funny (yet infuriating) that he totally over did NaruHina with Naruto's buffer appearance and hinatas boobs.

Pretty sure Sasuke and Sakura, despite being MAJORLY down played, are a MUCH more interesting couple then NaruHina.

Here's my proof.

NaruHina first kiss (not including any kisses in Naruto the Last. I haven't seen that yet so fuck you if it's not right.)

Naruto smiled nervously as he approached the main branch's front door, his date equally shy.

"So..."

Hinata turned bright red as she bowed politely. "A-Arigatou for the ramen, Naruto-kun."

"I'm sorry I can't afford fancy dinners," Naruto told her dejectedly. "You deserve to be spoilt and I-"

"N-No!" She exclaimed abruptly, flushing. "I-I mean...I don't mind. I don't care if we just go to Ichiraku for our dates. A-As long as I'm with you," she admitted softly.

Naruto's heart swelled and he couldn't stop himself when his hands raised to cradle her face. Hinata stared into his cerulean orbs with her own wide pearls, frozen in place.

"Hinata-chan," he murmured softly. "Can I...kiss you?"

Hinata was still in shock but she managed a slight nod. Slowly, he bent his head, allowing her the chance to pull away.

She didn't.

Then their lips met in a gentle, yet loving kiss.

Pulling away, Naruto smiled but it was only for a moment before the Hyuga fainted.

There! I will never do a lovey scene like this if I can help it!

But that's their kiss. Now for SasuSaku.

"You're ignoring me."

"Am I?" Sakura wondered as she walked down Konoha's busiest street, holding all the markets.

"You're being annoying, Sakura."

Spinning around, Sakura's eyes glared into Sasuke's mismatched one.

"I'm being annoying?" She snapped. "You know what's really annoying, Sasuke? Not hearing from you for two years. That's right. Two. Years. You could have wrote to me or even visited!"

"Sakura-"

"I know we're not together in any way, but when you left," she murmured, looking down at her feet. "When you left, I thought that maybe things were different now."

Then she scowled and spun around, stomping away from him.

"You'd have thought I'd learn by now," she hissed. "Why did I even bother waiting for you? I should have taken Shiroku's offer and-"

Sasuke caught up to her and grabbed her arm, spinning her back around to face him. Her emerald gaze held genuine surprise before anger flooded in. His mind yelled words of frustration but he did something better.

"Sasuke-"

He laid claim to her lips.

Again, she was caught by surprise. Sasuke was kissing her. In the middle of a busy street where everyone could see them. True to his actions, he caught the attention of everyone around the market area.

When she didn't push him away, Sasuke drew her closer, pulling her body into his. Her body melted into his for just a moment before the anger burned hot and she shoved him away from her.

The two panted, glaring at one another.

"You teme," she hissed.

Swiftly, she grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back down to capture his lips in another passionate kiss. Instinctively, his arms wound around her waist. The fact that he was holding her left her hungry for more of his touch and it showed in the way her tongue danced with his. When the need for air became too much, she separated from him. Instead of the swooning look he expected her to have, she instead just turned and walked away, their gathered audience stepping aside to let her pass.

Sasuke stood there, confused on what just happened when Sakura turned to look at him over her shoulder.

"You're still an asshole," she stated, causing the Uchiha to frown.

"Saku-"

"But you're an asshole that's taking me to dinner tonight."

She kept walking and Sasuke couldn't help but smirk.

Even as she walked away from him, her lips lifted up into a tender smile.

"Welcome home, Sasuke-kun."

I AM SO SORRY! I HADN'T REALISED THE REST OF THIS HADNT UPLOADED

So some of you only got the first line.

My bad

But this is what I thought their kiss would be like.
