Sasuke pants heavily as he looks at the pink kunoichi in front of her.

Her hesitation is obvious with the way her hands shake from gripping the kunai tightly, but her look of determination dominates.

She strikes, he dogdes. Again and again and he's starting to get tired.

Why, he wonders. Why the fuck is she doing this?

Sakura couldn't...Sakura wouldn't...this isn't the Sakura he knows dammit.

Then it clicked, it must be the village's doing, right? Its corrupt system manipulated her, told her to kill him. Yes, that must be it, it's not Sakura's fault, it's the village.

The village the village the village-

Sasuke's anger for said village only increased, further craving to destroy it.

Because they ruined one of the people he cared about the most. Kami-sama, it could've been anyone, but it shouldn't be her.

He sneers, and his heart ached. A foreign feeling, but he doesn't complain, not anymore, pain is all he feels at this point, why should he be surprised?

Overwhelming thoughts got cut off the moment he felt something sting, and his eyes widened. Sakura was able to pierce the kunai on his abdomen.

Rage engulfed him, and tries to attack her- only to drop on his knees, coughing up blood.

Poison.

"Why?" He struggles, only to see Sakura violently shake as she lets the tears fall.

"I can't bear to see you like this anymore." She murmurs, "I'm sorry, i'm sorry, i'm so sorry. I love you."

She was met with silence.

Sakura weeps infront of the lifeless Uchiha before her.
