“I wouldn’t try that if I were you.” Sasuke said, almost jokingly. Sakura halfway smirked, but it left almost as soon as it came. “What were you doing here?” Sasuke asked as he got back on his own two feet.

'Oh my gosh, what do I say?' “Um, n-nothing! Nothing at all! Eh, hehe!” Sakura smiled sheepishly, which caused Sasuke to raise an eyebrow.

“Sakura,” Sasuke stated, “don’t play stupid with me. Tell me whats really going on!”


“I-I don’t know what your talking about, Sasuke?” ‘Oh no, I stuttered!’

“You stuttered.” Sasuke smirked triumphantly. Defiantly enjoying the moment he felt like he knew everything.

“No I didn’t!” Sakura defended defiantly getting angrier. Judging by the look on Sasuke’s face, you could tell he was getting mad as well. ‘What is wrong with me?’

“Don’t lie to me, Sakura.” Sasuke took a step forward as she took a step back. This went on until she backed up into a tree and he was merely inches away from her.

“I’m not!” Sakura screamed, her face red with annoyance. Without warning, she felt a stabbing pain in her wrist. ‘Damn Kabuto!’ She gripped it with her other hand and whimpered in pain. The shocks that the bracelet inflicted on her grew ten-fold.

Sasuke raised an eyebrow and grabbed her injured arm as gentle as possible as if she would shatter like glass. “What is this? Where did you get it?” Sasuke asked, pointing to that dreaded emerald jeweled bracelet.

“Nothing!” She retreated her hand, earning her a few jolts of pain. A small tear made its way down her rosy-red cheek as she slid to the ground. ‘I can’t do this anymore. It’s just too hard to handle. The lying, the pain, the betrayal. I can’t do this to Sasuke. Not after what he did for me.’

With that final idea in her head, she reached into her weapon pouch and pulled out a kunai. With one last chalkra filled thrust, she stabbed the razor-sharp weapon into her chest. She didn’t dare scream, she didn’t dare whimper. ’It’s for the best’

Sasuke’s eyes widened in shock at the sight of the teenage girl’s blood. “STOP!” He shouted and ripped the weapon out her shaking hands, and threw it a distance. He grabbed her fragile figure by the shoulders and shouted in her face, “What is going on!? Why are you acting like life doesn’t matter anymore!?”

Sakura avoided his glare as she faced the ground, as if it were more interesting that him.

“What the hell, why aren’t you healing yourself!?”

Sakura returned his question by squeezing her eyes shut, letting more tears escape and fall onto her lap. Sasuke’s face however, remained its cold, hard glare. But it suddenly softened, and his face turned less red from yelling. “What’s going on, Sakura?” He reached over and put his index finger under her chin and pushed it up to face him.

“Sasuke… I’m sorry.” Sakura whispered, just barley able to be heard. She fainted into Sasuke’s caring arms. But not before thinking, ‘I failed… Sasuke, please watch out.’

Sasuke stood there, watching the pink-haired girl’s chest rise and fall very, very slowly. So many questions were running through his head. But first things first. Sasuke gently put Sakura down on the grass and he ripped a large piece of his shirt sleeve off. He took a deep breath and took off her shirt as well, leaving her in her lacy pink bra that matched her hair. Trying not to blush, he rapped the blue cloth around the sleeping girl’s chest, having to flip her over now and again. (A/N: Try not to make this sound perverted -_-’ Don’t lie, I know what you guys were thinking as he took off her shirt! *wink wink*)

Unknowing to him, a figure was hiding in the trees, a distance away. “So I guess I will have to go to plan B, eh?”

Sakura awoke to a loud crash and incoming swearing. “What the?” Sakura whispered, trying to sit up, but forgetting about her injuries, thus causing her to screech in pain. ‘Hm? Sounds like Sasuke’s voice?’

She took in her surroundings and realized that is was once again in the younger Uchiha’s home. By now, Sakura would have known without even having to open her eyes, thanks to Sasuke’s unique smell. What she didn’t realize until now is that she is wearing Sasuke’s clothes. A blue, baggy top with the Uchiha fan on the back, while wearing long, big shorts. ‘Holy S***. Sasuke dressed me!? Oh my god! This is so embarrassing!’
She cat-stretched, making sure not to hurt her wounds. Then glanced over at the clock on his dresser that read 8:42 pm. ’Wait! PM? So it’s night right now.’

She quietly made her way into the Uchiha kitchen to find a frustrated Sasuke, flipping pancakes with a mess of ingredients surrounding him.

“You do know that it’s way past Breakfast, right?” Sakura said quietly, giving Sasuke a little jump, startling him a little.

He turned to face her, and then rolled his eyes and went back to what he was previously doing. “Thought I should make breakfast for dinner.”

They sat down quietly and Sasuke immediately started scoffing down his food. Sakura on the other hand, starred at her own food, she has apparently lost her appetite. Sasuke noticed and raised an eyebrow. He was about to speak, but Sakura apparently beat him to it.

“You shouldn’t have brought me here…” She said with emotionless eyes.

Sasuke wasn’t expecting this. He thought she would start screaming, ‘I’m sorry’ or ‘thank you’ but, no. He put down his fork and swallowed, waiting for her to continue.

“I have to tell you the truth. The whole truth.” Sasuke inched closer, as he heard Sakura’s voice begin to crack.

“I… I… The reason I’m acting this way is because… is because… Kabu-”

“Now Sakura, you weren’t actually going to rat me out were you?”

Sakura and Sasuke’s heads snapped to the owner of the voice.

Sasuke let out a tiny growl, “Kabuto…”

“I guess I put too much faith in our little Cherry Blossom.” The gray haired man said, pushing his glasses back up in place.

Sasuke immediately shot his glare to Sakura. “What is he talking about?!” He took a step closer to the girl.

She froze in place. She was stuck in his eyes. They were a trap and she fell right into it., unable to escape. “I-I meant to tell you. It’s just-”

“Sakura has been lying to you this whole time.” Kabuto stepped into the two’s little chat. “She was working for me this whole time.” He chuckled.

Sasuke’s eyes pierced through Sakura’s, if looks could kill, Sakura would be on the floor dead. “Why?” Sasuke said. It was not a question, but a demand.

She was silent. Why wouldn’t her voice work? It just won’t come out. Her mouth opened and closed like a fish. His face was mere inches away from hers.

“Sasuke Uchiha.” Kabuto said in a low toned voice. Sasuke turned to said person.

“What!?” He snapped, his eyes converted from Sakura to Kabuto.

“I just wanted to say… goodnight.”

“Wha-” Sasuke didn’t even finish before he felt a sharp pain in his back. Someone hit his weak point, but who? ‘Who else? It’s the traitor.’ While Sasuke started to fall, his eyes landed on a girl, she seemed on the brink of tears. ‘Sakura…’ The blackness engulfed his vision.

Thud

Sakura looked away right before he fell. She couldn’t look at him. How ashamed he was of her. She bit her bottom lip and picked the top half of Sasuke’s body up and leaned him against the wall.

“Good girl, Sakura.” Kabuto praised her for her work. “Your just lucky I don’t kill you for letting out our little secret.”

She had a look of shame in her face. She watched as Kabuto put the knocked out Sasuke on his back and he headed for the door. She followed obediently, not taking her eyes off her own feet.

Sasuke’s eyes fluttered open hazily to observe a brick wall, his head throbbing, and him hanging from the ceiling from his tied hands. He was swaying back and fourth and struggled to break free.

He observed his surroundings to be of a cell, almost of a old dungeon. Freezing cold, with a non-peaceful atmosphere. There was much room, but nothing in it besides him. Hard wall, hard looking floor, him in a very uncomfortable position, he wasn‘t too far from the ground, but he still would rather be on his own feet.

Then the memories came flooding back in. He growled to himself, “Sakura, that traitor!”

There was a sudden creek, sounding like a door. He looked down to find a cotton-haired girl starring back at him, eyes full or regret. She had a small plate of rice balls in her hand.

Sasuke scoffed and jerked his head the other way.

“You must eat.” Said the ‘traitor’ as she walked over and held a rice ball up.

“GO TO HELL!” Sasuke shouted, and kicked the plate straight out of her hands, sending it crashing into the brick wall. He was very satisfied with himself. He was so mad he could strangle an innocent girl. His friend, no, his best friend was a back-stabber. He put all his trust into her and she turns on him. Has the world gone mad!?

Sasuke was focusing on his own thoughts when he heard a whimper. He slowly looked down to see Sakura on the floor crying. ‘Ha! Serves her right… But… I thought this would feel like a victory, why does it feel like defeat?’

The girl sniffed and whipped her tears as she cleaned up the mess of food and glass. Then she backed up against the wall and slid down in. As she lay against the wall, her eyes become heavy and she starts to drift asleep, no bothering to look at those scolding black eyes.

‘Why does everything have to come crashing down on me? First I find out that my friend is lying to me. She joins forces with the enemy, and knocks me out. Then tries to feed me and now she is taking a nap right in front of me while I hang from my wrists!? Thank goodness whoever tied me put rags around my wrist so the rope wouldn’t hurt. Darnit! Kabuto must have taken all my chalkra away, I don't sence any of it at all.’

While deep in his thoughts, he noticed Sakura grunting and getting back up from her slumber. She walked over to a lever and pressed down on it.

Before Sasuke knew what was going on, he fell to the ground, but the rope was still holding his hands behind his back.

He got up and seen Sakura go back to where she was before and closed her eyes once more.

‘What the heck do I do now?’ Sasuke walked towards the exit, but seen it was locked about twenty times, all up the door. He turned to the sleeping girl and kicked her gently.

“Wha-”

“Give me the keys!” Sasuke demanded, he didn’t want to fight, but knew that if he must, he will. Sakura was a traitor after all.

“I’m sorry, but I cannot do that.” She said, not even caring, no emotion what-so-ever.

“If you don’t give them to me, I will force you to!” Sasuke yelled.

“I do not have the keys. Kabuto locked me in here too.” She confessed and her eyes became glassy. “He said he has no more use for me, so he gave me some food and threw me in here.” Sasuke’s eyes softened just a tad as he sat down next to her.

Sakura brought her gaze to Sasuke, though not quite looking in his eyes. She reached back and untied Sasuke's wrists withough even looking at his face. “If you want, I’ll tell you the story now.”
