A/N: Demi-kun here again, and wow...lots of one-shots. XP Anyways, forgive me of this kind of sudden thing. :P But I just add random things just for kicks. And, I think I inserted a code around here and a secret message behind three words. SOZ, this is just random, if you figure out before the third piece, I congratulate you.

But anyways, I don't give a darn about this and how sucky this might turn out, so...yeah. And this is short:O So, excuse me if I leave you wondering.

SASUKE AND SAKURA PAIRING FOR ALL YOU LOVERS OUT THERE!!!

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. I am just a slink. ;)

Dedicated to: My friend, iCoco, thanks to her for the feedback and the ideas. AND MYSELF! (:O DOH' I'm conceited. :P)


She laughed happily, while plopping onto the soft grass. She was gasping for air, as the grass tickled her arms and neck. "Ah! Sasuke!" Sakura cried, jerking up from her usual sleeping position.

This had snapped the Uchiha prodigy out of trance with his eighteen year old teammate. "Hn?"

Sasuke pushed himself off the tree, while raising an eyebrow. Sakura waved her hands in the air, "Naruto said that he's not coming today!"

"For what? Training?" Sasuke asked. Sakura nodded, before dropping back down onto the ground. Sasuke looked at her with saddened onyx eyes, Sakura had grown. She had grown from a latching genin to a powerful and independent chunin. And the worse part was that, Sasuke wasn't there to witness it.

He observed her glossy and lively emerald eyes that seemed to suck him in. It held so much color, so much liveliness and pureness. It was hard to believe that a girl like Sakura did anything wrong. A smile unknowingly graced his lips, and Sasuke haven't have caught that rare facial expression, but Sakura did.

"Ah. Sasuke…"

"Yeah?"

"I'm tired," Sakura replied with a pout. She smoothed out her long pink hair, and stood up. She ran next to Sasuke.

"…"

"So what are we going to do now?"

"…Sakura."

"What?"

"I thought you had to come here for an emergency," Sasuke replied, the smile already gone from his lips. Sakura smiled sheepishly.

"Hmm, maybe. I really had to…release my pent up energy."

"Right, whatever."

"Let's go eat at Ichiraku, Sasuke!"

"Hn."

Sasuke followed Sakura as she trailed ahead; he watched the pink hair brushing behind her back. He remembered how he had simply stated to his fan girls that he preferred long hair over short. Sasuke recalled the time when Sakura had grown her hair just to get the favor of him, and then cut it off in times of trouble.

Those times, he never treasured but it was only a memory. He'd never admit, but Sasuke missed the times when Sakura added the suffix to his name. Her emerald eyes would always sparkle whenever she spoke.

He shook his head, and literally smacked himself mentally. 'Why am I thinking of her like this? She's nothing but a teammate and that is all.'

Something brushed against the trees, next to the path they were walking. A person clothed entirely in black to blend into the shadows of the forest. He opened his rough hands, placed inside his palm was a small needle. A poison needle.

He peeked over towards Sasuke who had his guard entirely down; the Uchiha's eyes were nothing but in daze as he was entranced with the girl in front of him. This was the perfect time to act, and that is to shoot the dart.

Sasuke never noticed a poison dart shoot at his hand. But at the last second he felt it melt on his hand, He glanced at it in question; the small needle had already melted into a puddle on his hand. 'What was-?'

At first, pain started to stem from his right hand in a heartbeat. Then his hand became frozen, he twitched it, and soon…he couldn't move.

THUD

"Sasuke?!" Sakura cried, turning around and running towards him. She knelt beside him, putting a hand on his chest to help him stand up. His eyes were closed; cold sweat was running down his forehead. One word slipped out through his lips and that was, 'Pain…'


Next Morning...

"Sasuke?" What appeared in said person's view were two pairs of worried jade eyes.

"Eh?"

"You passed out, since yesterday."

"…" Sasuke sat up from the hospital bed, rubbing his head. "What…happened?"

"I don't know, you…were poisoned and fainted."

"…Sakura," he said a bit weakly. Sakura cocked her head.

"Hmm?"

"I…" his breath was running short, as the threat of falling back into unconsciousness came. Sasuke closed his eyes as he whispered the remaining two words into her ears, before slipping away.

"…?"

She never understood what those three words had meant. Sakura withdrew her head and stared down nervously at him. The three magical words that confused Sakura, but that was enough, enough to tell her of the feelings he had.

I miss you


A/N: And that's it for chapter one:3 Never expected that eh? 'I miss you'. And that's the real mystery. Brain teaser for everyone who reads this:

Why would Sasuke miss Sakura if Sasuke hangs out with her everyday?

Yeah, I'll give you something to chew on before the next chapter. ;D

Dewa Mata!
