Chapter 11

 

Sakura sighed softly as she stepped out of her home, the air blowing cold, even though it was in the middle of the summer. It seemed kind of ominous, almost as if it was warning her of what was to come. She gnawed on her lip as she walked towards Tsunade's office.

 

 

*-*-*-*

 

A hand pressed a wet cloth to the now no longer bleeding wound. Pain showed in dark orbs as he stood, making he way onto the path that lead to Konoha. He had to find Sakura. He had to let her know that this was the end. He couldn't keep going on without her, and if he died before he got to her... then his soul would never leave the earth...

 

 

*-*-*-*

 

The long haired Uchiha quickly made his way towards Konoha with new-found strength. It was like he was renewed, like a bird learning how to fly. Sakura was the only thing on his mind as he came to close to the outskirts of the village, his heart racing. He had returned! Sakura would be more than happy to see him, and hopefully she would forgive him for leaving her.

A small grunt escaped his lips as he felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder. He could tell it was a kunai, but he didn't know who threw it. As he turned, he saw one ANBU land softly from the trees above him, their identity completely concealed.

Sakura looked at her target with anger and hatred. He had killed Sasuke more than Likely, and now, she would be the one who tore him apart. A small growl escaped the girl's lips as she looked over Itachi. He gazed back at her in bewilderment as she stepped closer, drawing her katana.

“Itachi.....I knew I would find you... I'm so sick of being afraid...” her voice sounded different because of the mask, so he tilted his head and took a step forward.

“Afraid?..Why would you be afraid?..” he said a bit gruffly, not understanding her words.

“You can guess..” her swung her katana suddenly, causing him to react and draw out several kunai.

He released them and watched as they hit several parts of her body. Sakura wasn't even trying to defend herself as she swung again. It was almost as if she wanted to die by his hand. The suffering that she had been through had been too much for her. It wasn't going to change, it would always be there. The cold blade sliced down his cheek as she swung again, then rammed her shoulder into his chest, causing him to stumble back with a slight grunt. Pale hands found their way to the ANUB's wrist as he lunged. The motion caused Sakura to fall to the ground, but as she did, she pulled him with her and threw him up and over. A small rustle of leaves caused Sakura to flip up and throw her shuriken. Three small thuds were heard, then a grunt as Sasuke fell out of the brush. Tears didn't form in Sakura's eyes as they had in the past, hell, she didn't even notice. Sakura was more concerned about the burning pain in her lower abdomen as blood stained her armor.

Itachi looked at her, one of his kunai plunged deep into her stomach. He twisted the weapon and pulled it out before pushing his fingers into several points on Sakura's body. Sakura let out a soft cry in pain as she fell back,blood trickling down off her lips and onto her chin. Itachi cast her gaze down at her with a look of disgust.

“You don't know me..don't...try to rid of me..” he spoke softly, then looked over at the dying form in the bushes.

“..Y..Y..ou...fo..fool....Y..ou...K..k..killed...S...” ; Sasuke didn't get to finish his sentence as Itachi smirked and grabbed the kunai he had stabbed Sakura with, throwing it into his brother's forehead, killing him instantly.

Sakura let out a small groan of pain as her green, now cloudy orbs slowly began to close. Itachi stepped over to her and knelt, a cloud of Smoke forming as his jutsu wore off, revealing the form of Sasuke, Itachi being the one with a kunai in his head.

“Now...who are you?...” he said coldly, but softly as he lifted the girl's head.

The feel of her hair was familer to him, and he got closer to her. A faint scent of strawberries surrounded him, making his head spin. Slowly, he reached up with trembling hands and grabbed the cracked mask. Tears fell as he removed it, revealing Sakura's pale face. He couldn't see any life in her emerald eyes, only the cloudiness of death. She looked up at him, a pained look crossing her face.

“S..a..suke..” she mumbled softly, choking on her words.

“Shh..Sakura..Please.....It..I..I'm so sorry..I didn't know..It was you...” he gently stroked her cheek with his hand.

Slowly moving her form into his lap,he sat there, looking down at her. Tears rolled down his cheeks and onto her own as they traced a line through the blood. Sakura groaned a bit her vision began to fade.. the pain in the stomach was making her dizzy. She didn't want to die now that she Knew Sasuke had really returned...But it looked as if she had no choice....
