Chapter 19: Ultimate Feelings

Sakura's head was pounding in pain when she finally regained half of her consciousness. Brightness of the sun rays made her eyes strained, and she had a difficulty to open her eyes. The heat scorched her skin made her feel dizzy and thirsty. Her body was weak as she was bleeding heavily. Her chakra was completely drained, and she couldn't even lift a finger.
The bright sun silhouetted the figure of a man as he towered above her. The man was stroking her cheek tenderly. Gaara? No, but she knew that callous fingers well. This could not be. The old wound in her heart was opened again. No, she wanted to sob. Please, not now. Why? Why he was here now?
In hazy sight, she saw him for the first time in three years. He was different from she used to remember. He looked older and had become more mature than previous years when they had been together. There were harsh lines below his eyes, as they made his handsome face looked so heartless and crueler.
"Sasuke," her voice croaked weakly as he bent forward to lift her. What he had done to her? And why she was in the desert?
"Are you going to kill me?" She had loss so much blood.
He stroked her cheek. "You are more beautiful than I can remember."
He lifted her upper body and hugged her tightly. "I missed you." He buried his nose into her hair, inhaled her scent deeply. His hand gripped her shoulder and he kissed her forehead tenderly, his breath warmed against her skin. Then his fingers brushed across her shoulder and slid up her throat before grabbing it tightly until she nearly choked.
She saw his Sharigan eyes changed to red, activated their power.
"So it's true then. You want to kill me," she whispered regretfully. "All my love is nothing for you." She closed her eyes, but she felt her tears, running down her cheeks.
Sasuke let her go and rose. He curled his fingers tightly and screamed in agony. The burst of Amaterasu, the jet-black flames, were swirling rapidly around them, eating anything that blocking their way. The fire circled and rose up to the sky, dancing swiftly, echoing his unstable emotion.
Sakura was nearly suffocated without oxygen; she closed her eyes, waiting for her fate.
In her mind, she only thought of a certain redhead that she would never meet again.
I'm sorry, Gaara.

Gaara startled when hearing indistinct voice calling his name. He had used his third eye as a lead to observe the surrounding. His flows of sands charged into the passage thoroughly, checking every corner, searching for an exit. There were too many tunnels; some of them were already collapsed and blocking the way out. But as his sand did not have any difficulties to trace out the recent activities that happened in the tunnel, it was rushing forward, dismantling any traps, and being followed by him and other ninjas.
His eye detected something is moving, and his sand was charging to capture it. Or them. The girls were screaming unstoppable when the sand squashed Kuroki's head. Blood spluttering everywhere as his sand coffin crushed the bones into pieces without mercy.
The girls huddled together with a frightened look showing on their face. The smaller girl started to sob. Gaara was nearly in panic when he began to realize what had happened.
"Where is she?"

Nothing happened. She opened her eyes. Sasuke was kneeling beside her. His eyes turned back to black, staring directly into hers. His expression turned grief.
"If you die, what is the purpose of my life?" He pleaded.
"Sasuke'" she whispered sadly. What happened to him?
"I'm tired, Sakura." He rested his head on her shoulder.
"Let's go home. Let's go back to Konoha. Naruto loves you. We love you."
"Home?" Sasuke lifted his head from her shoulder and let out a harsh laugh. The Amaterasu exploded into sparks. His expression reflected both anger and frustration.
"There's no turning back for me. I've to finish what I have started."
Sakura just stared at him, the man that she had loved since her childhood. The old wound on her began to ache again, she wanted to weep, wanted desperately to have the old Uchiha Sasuke back. She didn't want him lose into darkness, but she knew it was already too late. He had changed into a homicidal creature as the need of power has overwhelming his reason.
"So Naruto is right." Sakura said sadly. "You are really going to kill me."
"You are my weakness, Sakura. There is no other woman that I love more than you. I tried to forget you. I tried because I don't want to hurt you. I even tried to replace you. Every time I slept with someone, I wanted her to be you. But when I killed them, I felt empty inside," he whispered. "I didn't have this feeling."
Sakura just stared at him, couldn't find a word anymore.
"These ultimate feelings," he said again and looked directly into her face. "Anger. Pain. Agony. To sacrifice something that you are afraid to let go in your life, I have never felt this confused before." His fingers stroke her hair. "But I want these feelings. I need to consummate these feelings."
His eyes were brilliant in anger. "This is your entire fault. You should have stay in Konoha, Sakura. To think you were with Sabaku no Gaara is enough to make me blow up the entire country."
"Sasuke," she tried to soothe him desperately. He was ready to use his sharigan again.
But the man rose to stand in front of her, grabbed a fistful of her hair, dragged her body upward and tilted her face to make her look directly at his eyes.
"You are my weakness. And my supreme strength. My key to get that ultimate weapon. I want to kill you as much as want to love you." He spoke calmly.
Then his irises changed their pattern. His chakra was rising as well as the black fire behind him. He stared into her eyes, without expression.
"Forgive me, love."
Sakura felt her head was going to break apart. She wanted to scream as the pain was too unbearable, but could not found her voice. Dark blood flowed from both her nose and mouth, and her body was burning. Her blood was boiling inside, and her heart was expanding, nearly explode. Her eyesight turned into darkness, and she could only hear shrilling sound that nearly burst her ear-drums. She couldn't bear this suffering anymore. She wanted to beg Sasuke to end her life right away.
Somehow a strong force pushed Sasuke from her, made him flew backward. Sand developed her body and pulled her away from Sasuke and landed her onto hard plane. She gasped desperately for breathing. In darkness, she tried to move her hands, trying to find something solid to hold, but she was too tired to stay conscious. But she knew something now.
He had finally come.

Gaara was shaking furiously when he saw Sakura's condition. She was laying still on the ground; her battered body was covered with blood. His sand swirled around her, checking her body. He could not contain his relief when he found out that she was still breathing. He restrained himself from going to her as he couldn't take eyes from Uchiha Sasuke. He wanted to kill that man for hurting her. But she was nearly reached her limit and didn't have much time left. They needed to leave soon.
Sasuke, who had been blown away by his sand nearly fifty feet, had managed to block his attack. The man rose from his fall and lifted his head. Sasuke was back into his battle mode. His chakra flared, and the black flames were rising up to the sky behind him.
Gaara noticed something different about his eyes' pattern and the dark chakra that enveloping him. He realized that black hair man had become stronger for the past five years since the Great War.
Large clouds of sand particles were rising from the dunes, floating in the air. He could bury Sasuke immediately as this was his territory. He would enjoy killing that man if Sakura was not in critical condition and needed to be saved quickly as possible.
"You should go and save her. There is not so much time left."
Gaara's eyes narrowed. "This is my territory. What makes you think I can't kill you instantly?"
The man just shrugged. "You won't. I know you nature very well."
Gaara smirked. "You are so sure of yourself."
"You won't because you know Naruto won't let you. He does not want you to stand between me and him." Sasuke spoke seriously "There is not so much time left. Take her away from here."
"You are the one who tried to kill her." His sand burst as he couldn't contain his emotion.
"Your feelings…" Sasuke's words trailed of as he realized something about Gaara's expression.
"I won't bother her anymore." Sasuke said again. He lifted his fist to his chest. A silvery light came out from his fingers. "I have gotten one I want."
"Get off my land Uchiha."
"For all I know, you are the last person she would end up with." He said slowly. "Although I hate to admit it, we both share the same trait." He looked at Sakura. "It is even amusing to think we both sharing the same weakness."
A group of giant hawks were flying above Sasuke, circling him. He looked at Sakura for the last time, before hopping high upward. One of the birds flew downward, catching him with its claw. Then they flew away to the north, leaving the Wind Country.
Gaara gathered Sakura onto his arms carefully and brought her back to Suna using his sand. They ended up in the hospital where people suddenly went into silence as they shocked to see their sudden arrival. Medics rushed toward Sakura, all yelling to give instructions to each other. They quickly grabbed Sakura from him and put her down onto the floor. Chakra flared as they are checking her breathing and her wounds.
Then they stopped slowly and looked at each other.
"What?" He asked worriedly.
"Kage-sama, she has a miscarriage".
Gaara stilled. He was too stunned when hearing the words he nearly forgot his breathing. He felt light headed as the blood drained from his head. The medics carried Sakura to the emergency room, leaving him alone, staring helplessly at the closed door.

A/N: Well, I guess I kinda rushed, but next week I'm going to get busy again..:(
So, please bear my grammar. English is not my language. I told you several times already. Thank you to several people who offer to be my beta. I really appreciate your kindness and your patience, but really I want to finish this story this week. I am really busy with my job right now. :(
BTW, Thank you for the reviews guys. really appreciate it.^^
Oh yeah, before I forget, Natsumi, Riko, Kuroki and Aki-sama are OCs. And you should notice that Sasuke, Shikamaru, Kankuro, and even Gaara is a bit OOC to suit my story. This story is about five years later after the Great War. People can change after such a long time. They can be more mature and all grown up after they have reached the adulthood. Sasuke maybe a loner, but even he will need someone or something to prove his existence. Otherwise, there is no purpose to live.
