SASUSAKU Chapter 4: All for Cerise Naruto © Masashi Kishimoto *~*~*~* "Even if she does recover, I can't say I want her to go out in the field again." Tsunade's voice broke as she began to sob. "I wish I still tutored the boy-crazy overly emotional Sakura, not Konoha's most feared assassin…" Kakashi nodded, "Sometimes so do we." Tsunade looked up, and Sasuke could read the utter desolation in her eyes. "I wish she had never become a shinobi." Sakura was moved into her own room in the emergency care unit of the hospital so Tsunade could keep an eye on her. Throughout the remainder of the night Sakura was awake and extremely de

Chapter 9: Aftermath Naruto © Masashi Kishimoto Sakura awoke and blinked groggily at the pink world of her bedroom. She felt oddly hollow, as if she was a wraith or apparition wafting through the walls and furniture without leaving a trace. Nothing about her room seemed to be real – she viewed all of it through a blurred lens – and she didn't feel like she had slept there at all. There was murmuring downstairs of which she could hear faint traces, yet she couldn't make out the words. Her body felt cumbersome and dense; her ears felt like they were plugged with cotton; her mind was spinning. She descended into a cloud of her o

SASUSAKU Chapter 3: Under the Red Moon *~*~*~*~* If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one Drying in the colour of the evening sun Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away But something in our minds will always stay Fragile ~ Sting *~*~*~*~* Night had fallen, blanketing the forest as Sasuke emerged from the cover of the trees.  He drifted in and out of the shadows as he neared the walls of the Village Hidden in the Leaves.  The raven-haired man scaled the south wall, using the chakra in his feet to propel him over the twenty-foot stone barricade.  Landing on the battlements quietly, the shinobi lo

Chapter 8: Attack Naruto © Masashi Kishimoto *~*~* "Because..." Kakashi sighed, rubbing his forehead tiredly. "We have been informed that there is a serial killer on the loose. And all of his targets are teenage girls." Sasuke's eyes widened. No wonder Kakashi looked so worried. Sakura always runs alone, and he knew she would absolutely loathe running with him – not like he didn't share her sentiment. But if she got hurt, or worse, killed, he could never live with himself. "Promise me you will not let her out of your sight." Kakashi prompted gravely. "Sakura's stubborn as hell, but I know she means a lot to me, and to you, too.

Chapter 7: Warning Naruto © Masashi Kishimoto Groaning softly, Sakura opened her eyes and tried to sit up – and promptly realized that she couldn’t.  Looking around, she noticed she was still on Sasuke’s windowsill and was propped up against something warm and firm.  Two tanned, muscular arms were wrapped around her waist, with two tanned, muscular legs on either side of her slimmer, fair-skinned ones.  Thus, she deduced that he hadn’t left Sasuke’s house after they had worked on their project, and that the warm thing she was trapped against was indeed Sasuke.  Sasuke’s head rested on her right shoulder, h

SASUSAKU Chapter 2: Blue Colored Crimson *~*~*~*~* Sasuke Uchiha stood abruptly, the twisted look of shock and horror evident on his handsome face. The girl’s once-magnificent emerald eyes stared back at him; reduced to a faded sage green. A familiar name fell from his lips, echoing across the death-stilled clearing. “... Sakura.” *~*~*~*~* For a while, with the vertigo cured, we were alive -- we were pure. The void took the shape of all that you were, but years take their toll, And things get bent into shape... Antiseptic and tired, I can't remember your face. You were supposed to grow old. You were supposed to grow
