Sasuke's POV

---------------------------------------

'GIVE MEBACK MY SIGHT!!!!!!!' Kasumi screamed. My eyes widened and my heart stopped. K-Kasumi?

'KASUMI!' Naruto, Kakashi and I all yelled. I tried to push past Naruto and Sakura to try and get to her but I was stopped when Zabuza sliced Kakashi Sensei in half. Sakura screamed which made Kasumi jump.

'What's going on!?' Kasumi yelled worriedly. She was on her knees, covering her face, I noticed the blood trickling through her fingers and onto the ground. I saw a smirking Zabuza try to get to her but he was stopped by Kakashi who hadn't been sliced to pieces but had survived and appeared behind Zabuza, holding a kunai to his neck.

'You're not going anywhere,' Kakashi warned. He nodded at me.

'Get Kasumi out of here, now,' Kakashi said. I nodded and darted over to Kasumi's side. She must've heard me coming because she jumped up, still covering her eyes, but wary of who I was.

'Stay away from me, you crazy butcher!' She growled. Butcher?

'Kasumi, calm down, it's me,' I told her. She relaxed and sighed.

'Sasuke,' she whispered, smiling. My heart melted.

'Kasumi, we have to get you out of here,' I told her, reaching for her hand, that still hid her eyes. She stepped back.

'No! Please don't, I don't want to freak you out or anything,' she bowed her head sadly, more blood dripping off and onto the ground.

'Kasumi, I need to see how bad your wound is,' I said stepping towards her.

'SASUKE GO!' Naruto yelled. I glanced to see Kakashi Sensei getting trapped in a ball of water, no thanks to Zabuza.

I picked Kasumi up and threw her over my shoulder and carried her into the words.

'Kasumi, what did you mean by 'Crazy Butcher' back then?' I asked as we ran. She laughed nervously to herself.

'Well that Zabuza guy has like the biggest meat knife in the world and since he took my sight away, I just figured that he was coming to get me,' she said. 'Sorry Sasuke,'

I stopped and set her down.

'Don't be, now let me have a look,'

She pouted but reluctantly removed her hands away from her eyes. I gasped, shocked at what was on her face. A deep gash ran straight across her eyes, her once deep blue eye were now pale blueish green and faded. The blood trickled down her face, like tears. My eyes began to water at the sight. The only person that I loved, who was still alive, was laying here in front of me, blinded possibly for life. It broke my heart. Well actually, it felt like someone had come along and not only broke my heart, but threw it on the floor and set it on fire and made me watch it burn. I clenched my fists so hard that my knuckles cracked.

Kasumi's lifeless eyes looked up at me, her face showed the concern but her eyes didn't. I reached out and touched her face. She flinched so I quickly pulled away, not wanting to cause her anymore pain than what she was already in. I ripped off some cloth from my t-shirt and gently dapped at the cut, wiping away all the blood, trying to clean her up. She stayed calm and relaxed while I worked.

'The ankle?' I asked her. She smiled weakly.

'It's fine, I'll be okay,'

I placed both hands on her shoulders and looked deep into her pale eyes.
