“Sasuke…”
The word was spoken softly, and for a moment, the other members of Team 7 paused.
Slowly, Sasuke turned. He knew the voice, they all did. Nonetheless, there was no place left for her in the inevitable fight. She was useless, as she’d always been, in his eyes, and he would settle for nothing less than proving that much in an instant-
The Uchiha’s thoughts were cut off as Sakura’s fist smashed into the side of his face, catching everyone off guard.
“S-Sakura-chan!” Naruto blanched in surprise, at the sheer absurdity of the action his pink-haired teammate had taken.
“You son of a $#%@&!” Sakura roared, her face twisted in rage and sorrow.
Sasuke, despite his strength, barely had time to flinch as another blow smashed into his gut.
“I loved you! We loved you!” Sakura continued, unleashing the fury of a thousand suns upon the one who continued to disappoint. “You were our partner, our teammate, our friend, and what have you done?! You tossed it aside, all of it, to do what?! Kill the Kage?! Kill Tsunade? Kill Naruto?! I won’t allow it! I won’t let you lay a hand on any of them! Do you hear me, Sasuke?!”
She slammed another fist into the Uchiha’s face, and Sasuke flew. His body smashed and skidded across the endless plains nastily, and Naruto could’ve sworn, sworn, that he heard the sound of breaking bones.
“Sakura-” Sasuke began, sprawled on all fours while trying to climb back to his feet.
“I don’t want to hear it!” she shouted, appearing above him in a flourish of leaves. She reached down, grabbing him by the collar and lifting him off the ground so that his eyes met hers. “You think I’m going to just stand aside while you hurt the people I care about?! Do you think the world will accept what you’re trying to do?! At this point…” she turned away, tears continuing to pour down her face as she spoke. “You’re no better than Madara!”
The sound of chirping birds suddenly filled the air, and her eyes widened.
“Sakura.” Sasuke repeated, his face as blank and unimpressed as always.
“You’re annoying.”
BZZT!
It had been close. A second later, and Sasuke’s hand would have pierced clean through Sakura’s heart. As it was, however…
Naruto glared at Sasuke from his crouched position, and Sakura, held neatly in his arms bridal-style, gazed upon him with wide eyes.
“Naruto!”
“I’ll take it from here, Sakura-chan!” Naruto promised, laying the girl down gently beside Kakashi. “Rest now, and leave it to me!”
He activated his Chakra Cloak, and vanished alongside Sasuke in a flicker of light.
^ What I wish happened.
As it stands though, it wasn't TOO bad. Sakura didn't have a great showing, certainly, but either way it ended with SasuSaku pretty much being declared null and void. I could easily see this ending with Sakura having to do a "Kill Sasuke or Naruto dies/other way around" thing though, so.
