Forget Me Not: Chapter IX.

Disclaimer- I don't own Naruto or Your Guardian Angel by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.

When I see your smile
Tears run down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one

The rain pelted down on my bloodied and beaten body that one night. Orochimaru had set more training, even when he knew that I was still injured from my mission. I guess that's what gave him more pleasure, to beat my already beaten body to the ground and laugh and I winced.

For some reason I stayed on the cement, bleeding, groaning and waiting for my inevitable death. My hair was dirty and bloody and my form mangled and wet. I thought about things I hadn't done in my short eighteen year old life. I hadn't killed Orochimaru, I hadn't killed Itachi, I hadn't avenged my family yet and worst of all I never went back to Konoha, where I knew my fate was sealed, but wanted to go back anyways.

I sighed out heavily as I moved my head a little, the pain in my neck, surged through my body, and I couldn't suppress a moan of agony, it was that painful.

'I don't think you should be doing that, you'll just hurt your self even more… Sasuke…'

'What happened to Sasuke-kun?'

'He died…'

'Oh.'

'And there's no way you can bring a person back from the dead.'

'Oh.'

'That's why I'm saving you.'

'Aa.'

'Is that all you can say?'

I felt that she had healed the back of my neck, for I could move it more easily. So without saying anything I reached up around her neck and pulled her down so our lips met. The heavy rain masked our bodies and we shared our first kiss, a passionate one in the rain. A rain kiss.

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

'My…My house!' You cry, hands on your head in disbelief, 'Mum! Dad! They were in the house!'

'I'm so sorry Sakura,' Naruto says, tears streaming down your face, 'They died in the fire.'

You don't say anything just sob into your hands, I look on from a nearby roof, behind four chimneys which are conveniently next to each other. Man that's so stupid, but I am not in any position to be groaning, the chimneys hide me from being seen.

'Oh my god!' You cry. Naruto hugs you.

I think I sit and watch for at least an hour, well until the sky becomes dark and its twilight. The air is crisp when Naruto leaves you, 'Because it was getting late,' he said, he also said that you could spend the night at his house and to come over when you were ready.

When he was out of sight I jumped down and encircled your body.

'S-Sasuke…'

'Hey…'

'Sasuke, what are you doing here?'

'Looking after you.'

You cried in my chest as I held you, you cried and cried and cried. And the funny thing is… I think I even cried a little too.

'Sasuke, where are we going?'

'My house, you're staying there.'

'Oh. I was going to stay at…'

'You're staying with me tonight, Sakura.'

'Hum… Okay…'

I rubbed my nose on your neck and breathed out, as I landed on the ground and opened the door to the Uchiha mansion. Letting you go, you awed at the inside of my house.

'I've never been inside your house before, Sasuke…'

'Aa. I see.'

You collapsed on my lounge at that moment, and I felt my pocket.

'Close your eyes for a second Sakura,' I said to you; you looked at me but them obeyed.

I made my way behind you and wrapped my arms around you waist but not before kissing your neck. Reaching into my pocket with one hand I opened up your hand with the other, and placed my keys in it and closed it ever so tenderly.

'Okay open them.'

'What is this some sort of…?' You trailed off, 'Sasuke! You can't give me your house!'

I smirked, 'Why, I have no use for it…'

'Sasuke!' You paused, 'Sasuke… Thank you.'

You wrapped your arms around my neck and hugged me. 'No problem… Sakura-Chan…'

I tipped your head up, and before I could, you kissed me.

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Seasons are changing
and waves are crashing
and stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one

I will never let you fall, I'll stand up with you forever.

I never let you fall, Sakura, I would have stood up with you forever. I would have stood up with you forever. It's just that standing up with you, cost me my life.

But I wouldn't have had my death any other way.

I love you; I always have and always will.

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

"Honey… Honey are you okay?" Some distant angelic voice calls to me.

I turn around slowly… And there I see her.

My beautiful mother.

Okay! Just to let you know. I am reaaally getting sick of all these Naruto stories; it's just Naruto, NARUTO, NARUTO! I'm getting sick of it. So I'm taking a break. You may see me writing stories for the following thinga-magigers…

-Howl's Moving Castle

-Spirited Away

-Ur… Um… Running out of ideas… Maybe when I watch Princess Mononoke.

- More when I think of the stories.

And people don't worry, I think still might be randomly updating 26 Little Petals, cause I quite like doing little one shots.

Yay!

Till then (and ps, more chapters coming!)

Please review!

My high regards and wishes for all those Aussies who are now on school holidays!
