Rating: T

Words: 500

Summary: This time she has 2 raw wounds on her arm, and it hurt, but her heart has never felt so whole.

The morning she woke up on that fateful bench, she had no physical wound, but something was hurting so damn much. She was left with raw cut on her heart.

That time when she realized Naruto came back from the mission without him, she forced herself to be strong. Later that night, she cried herself to sleep. The cut on her heart opened again and bleed a little bit more.

The moment all the rookies decided to take the matter of disposing him themselves. She steeled herself, and decided that she will take that responsibility. There's no need to hurt the others by making them killing their comrade. Her heart was no longer whole, it did not bleed but still hurts everyday, thinking that she could have stopped him that time.

She didn't know which one hurt more, the fact that she couldn't kill him or that he didn't hesitated to choke her to death. Then she decided that he slipped further away hurt the most. Her heart was again left with few new cuts.

One moment she was begging him not to go, saying she would take all his pain if she could. And she meant it, her heart may no longer be whole, but she will do it for him and only him. The next his hand pierced through her chest. She was shocked, hurt but somehow she was liberated. In a moment of weakness she was glad that at least she won't hurt any longer. Then she woke up and it hurt like never before

When she heard "I'm sorry" coming from him, she wanted to laugh. To mock him, how is that simple word could make up for years of hurt and pain? But she didn't, because just those words were enough, and at that moment her heart started to heal.

"Never do that again" He said as he pulled out 2 poisoned kunai from the side of her left arm.

Blood started to pour out, the cuts were not big, but they were deep enough.

"That kunai was poisoned, I have resistance against various poison, and it was a logical course of action" she started healing her own arm.

"I don't care, I won't have you got wounded because of me again" he snapped

Her eyes widened at his word, Sasuke was hurt because she got hurt. He averted his eyes. She could have sworn his cheek was tinted with embarrassment but unfortunately their surrounding was dark.

She extended her good arm to touch the side of his face, "I'm sorry."

He put his hands above her, "Why?"

"For hurting you. This was only physical wounds. I can heal them myself." She gave him a small smile

Sasuke suddenly pulled her into an embrace, "Just don't do that again" his voice was heavy with embarrassment and Sakura couldn't help but feeling so damn happy.

This time she has 2 raw wounds on her arm, and it hurt, but her heart has never felt so whole.

AN:This is the first time ever I participate in SSmonth, well actually this is my first time doing any of this pairing dedicated month. This story was also published at Tumblr, I'm new there so visit me. its, fhien

I probably over abused the word hurt here, gosh. I'm sorry my vocab is a bit limited but I hope you all could enjoy it no less. The first part of the story came out kinda dark, the second part however was inspired by the pulling out the knives scene in Gaiden.

I have this head cannon that only Sasuke can heal Sakura's psychological wounds (well, he caused most of it anyway) and vice versa. Afterall they got married and have kid together so I figure, Sakura must have done something to all those psychological baggage and wounds he carried.

Drop a Review or Fave please, they always make my day –especially when I have to work over the weekend.
