RECAP!:"It's not your fault Sasuke-Kun.You told me he was bad news, but I just didn't listen to you, and I'm sorry for that." Sakura replied. Sasuke let go of her and kissed her forehead. [br]
[br]

"Just go to sleep you must be tired." He ordered.[br]
[br]

"Alright." she nodded and laid back down on the bed. The warmth of the room began to lull her to sleep.[br]
[br]

Arigatou, Sasuke-Kun. Sakura thought to herself and drifted off to sleep with a smile on her face.[br]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[br]
[br]
Puffs of warmness hit her cheek. Grumbling, Sakura woke up to see what this warmness was. Craning her neck to the right, she was greeted with Sasuke's peaceful sleeping face. His breath fanned lightly across her face, effectively tickling it. Sakura began to giggle softly, waking up Sasuke. Sasuke looked at her like she was insane. [br]
[br]

"Hn...how can you be laughing so early in the morning?" he grunted. [br]
[br]

"Sorry." she replied as she pushed the stray hairs out of her eyes. Sasuke stretched his body out like a cat, giving Sakura a good view of his bare chest. Blushing, Sakura quickly turned her head away in embarassment. Sasuke chuckled at her actions. He got up and threw on a blue T-Shirt. [br]
[br]

"It's okay now I have a shirt on." he said with a hint of amusement in his voice. Sakura scoffed and rolled out of bed. [br]
[br]

"So...what's the..."[br]
[br]

"Sakura you need to leave." Sasuke cut her off.[br]
[br]

"W-what do you mean? I'm not leaving here without you! I risked my neck to leave the village and get you away from the snake bastard! I refuse to leave here without you!" she shouted at him. Sasuke glared at her with annoyance.[br]
[br]

"Sakura it's too dangerous for you to stay here, Kenji could attack you again, and what if i'm not around to protect you?"[br]

[br]

"I'm a big girl Sasuke, I don't need you watching out for me. That only happened because I was emotionally weak at that time. I would never let such a thing happen to me." Sakura retorted.[br]
[br]

"Yah, well it did and you let it happen! Sakura, I really do care about you and Naruto and everyone else back home, but I just can't leave this place until i'm powerful enough to kill Itachi." Sasuke stated.[br]
[br]

"Why?! Why can't you just give up on your revenge?! Sasuke it's not going to get you anywhere, and plus Itachi isn't really..." Sakura cut herself off before she said anymore.[br]
[br]

"What was that? What were you going to say about Itachi, Sakura? Do you know where he is?!" Sasuke asked frantically.[br]
[br]

"N-no I don't know where he is..." Sakura stuttered.[br]
[br]

"Bullshoot Sakura don't you dare lie to me! Where have you seen Itachi, Sakura?!" Sakura sighed. She might as well tell him. She could never lie to that piercing vision of his.[br]
[br]

"Sasuke, the truth is...while I was looking for you, Itachi kidnapped me because he needed me to heal his eyes. His vision was slowly deteriorating, and the only way he'd let me go was if I healed his eyes. Originally, I was supposed to stay there forever to be an Akatsuki medic nin., but Itachi promised he'd let me go find you. Sasuke...Itachi really isn't that bad of a person, I mean sure the whole clan thing, but he probably had a reason to do it...he still has a human side to him Sasuke, and I really think you shouldn't kill your only kin left, after all, I remember seeing you and Itachi together when we were young, you always looked truly happy when your brother was around, and I think you should love him like you used to."[br]
[br]

"...............heh....you expect me to believe that load of shoot?! Come on now Sakura he killed my whole family! You want me to believe he had a good reason to kill the people who gave him life?! He only pretened to love me...he kept me alive so I could kill him! That is my sole purpose! And... I can't believe you...helped the person I hate the most Sakura...how could you do such a thing?!" Sasuke yelled.[br]
[br]

".....I..."[br]
[br]

"You know what? I'm tired of listening to you spout garbage. How could you even stand up for that monster?! He's not human!" and with that Sasuke turned on his heel and went to the door. Sakura sunk to a heap on the floor.[br]
[br]

"I...I don't understand....I thought....you cared about me....Sasuke....."[br]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[br]

[br]

Sasuke stormed down the hallway, glaring at everything in sight. How could she even say such things? Itachi a good guy?! Come on now! Sasuke ranted in his head. [br]
[br]

Dude...how can you even be concerned about that? You totally bashed her down![br]
[br]

What are you talking about?[br]
[br]

Helloooo?! You totally flipped out on her right after you guys made up and stuff.[br]

[br]

Hn...[br]
[br]

You know you really do care about her. I say, we leave this snake's nest and go back with her. You know you want to be with her, and you're doing a really poor job at showing her that...[br]
[br]

Go Die.[br]
[br]

Can't sorry buddy you'd have to die too.... and with that, Sasuke's inner self went away, leaving him at the entrance of the fortress. Realizing what he did wrong, Sasuke quickly turned on his heel and dashed back to his room.[br]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[br]
[br]

Okay, no more wallowing in self pity! The whole time i've been here, all i've shown Sasuke is my weak side! I gotta shape up! I'm no longer the little girl he left on the bench! With that thought, Sakura rose from her seat on the ground.I'm gonna go tell Sasuke that i'm gonna bring him home! Even if I have to use force! Sakura thought to herself. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.[br]
[br]

"Sakura, it's time for you to start with the healing of Orochimaru's arms." Kabuto's voice seeped through the wall.[br]
[br]

"Okay i'm coming." Sakura replied and opened the door. Silently, she followed him down the corridors to the Snake Lord's Den.[br]
[br]

Guess I'll have to find him later... she thought to herself as she entered the dark room.[br]
