Sasuke appeared behind Sakura, just like that night she had pleaded for him to stay all those years ago. Sasuke leaned in to sakura's ear. "You were one of the two people I never wanted to hurt Sakura..." He whispered. Sakura's eyes widened and she felt tears fall down her cheeks. This is it.... The person that i care so much for is going to end it all .... She closed her eyes, braising herself for the final blow. Sasuke raised his sword and stabbed down.........
All of her memories with Sasuke flashed in her head all at once. How she met him when they were so young in the academy. How she always cheered him on in class. How he would glance her way with his dark, sad eyes. How happy she was when Iruka-Sensei called both their names for team seven. How she would watch Naruto and him get closer each day while she would just smile in the background. How she pleaded for him not to leave her. How broken she felt when he was gone. And how when she looks in his eyes now.... She can still see that boy from Team Seven looking back, waiting for her to bring him home again....
Sasuke..... Thank you.Thank you for everything... For letting me love you. I'm sorry... I'm sorry I wasn't able to save you Sasuke!
A shadow cast over Sakura. Her eyes widened as she opened them. Itachi had appeared between Sakura and Sasuke, so fast it was a blur, blocking Sasuke's sword with a kunai. Sasuke stared at Itachi, shocked. He jumped back, leaving space between them. "Itachi..." Sasuke sneered through gritted teeth. "Sasuke..." Itachi said calmly. "What are you doing here?" Sasuke asked hatefully. "Oh, you haven't heard?" Hidan asked coolly as Deidara, Sasori, and himself walked out of hiding. "Sakura here.." Sasori started. "Has joined the Akatsuki, Hm." Deidara finished. Sakura looked at at them, shocked. They all stood behind Sakura protectively with grins on their faces. Sasuke looked down at Sakura questionably, then gave a tch. "So, You come here trying to bring me back but you have also betrayed The Leaf..." He grinned. "That's not how it is! I-" Sakura didn't get to finish. Sasuke had tried dodging around Itachi to attack Sakura. Itachi blocked him in one motion. The two brothers stood face to face, sword and kunai pushing against on another. "Sorry little brother... I can't let you hurt this girl." The older of the two said. They looked at each other in the eye for a moment before Itachi pushed Sasuke back. Sasuke still stared at his brother with an expression probably only Itachi could read. "Itachi... I can't believe you of all people...." Sasuke's expression hardened. Itachi moved to stand in front of Sakura, kunai raised. "I won't let you get near her again, brother." Sasuke laughed. Sasuke's body started fading away. his laugh sounding farther and farther away. "Till next time, brother..." He spat before disappearing completely.
Itachi lowered his kunai and turned to Sakura. "Are you ok?" He asked as he held his hand out to help her up. "Yeah..." She took his hand and was lifted to her feet. She wiped her eyes as the others walked over to her. "Cherry! Are you alright!? Hm!" Deidara took her by the shoulders,looking her up and down for injuries. Sakura smiled. "I'm fine Deidara" Deidara stared at her for a moment before smiling warmly. He pulled her into a tight hug. "Good...." He breathed in relief. The girl was shocked but then smiled and hugged him back. She pulled away. "Did you think you could get rid of me that easily?" She asked, smiling. "Just don't do that again!" Hidan yelled. "Yeah! I thought you were going to die!" Sasori agreed. "I thought I was going to have a heart attack! And I don't even have a real heart!" The girl stared at all of them. "Do you guys really care that much about me?" She asked softly. "What The- What kind of question is that!?" Hidan yelled. Sakura felt the backs of her eyes start to burn. Tears started flowing down her face. The boys all looked at her in surprise. "Look What You Did Hidan!!! HM! You made her cry!" Dedara yelled. "I-I didn't mean too!" Hidan yelled back. "Hidan...... you need to relive those 72 hours of hell, Don't you?" Itachi threatened darkly, activating his sharingan. "Itachi! I think you're going to far!" Sasori half yelled.
Sakura laughed a little, wiping her tears. The boys stopped fighting and turned to her shocked. "No, that's not it at all... I'm just really happy. I'm so happy I met all of you!" Sakura smiled at them. They all stared at her. Hidan sniffled a little. "Hidan? Are you crying?" Deidara asked. "N-No! Why would I cry!?" Hidan yelled. They all laughed. "S-SHUT UP!"
I'm so glad i was able to meat everyone.... I hope I never have to leave them!
