When the sun came up Sakura was sound asleep in Sasuke's arms.
Sasuke began to shake Sakura slightly "Wake up Sakura..." he said softly.
As she opened her eyes, she began to cry.
"What's wrong?" Sasuke asked her, his eyes curious, his face set with worry.
"I don't want to leave you" she said, her voice cracking.
"it's okai, my dear cherry blossom, we'll be together soon again.
Sasuke picked Sakura up as he dressed her in her mission clothes, knowing very well that she wouldn;t be able to herself, she was too heartbroken rite now.

When Sakura was all dressed her tears were starting to dry. Sasuke wiped her eyes and picked her up. He sat down in his chair with Sakura.
"I want you to remember..." he started "that no matter wat that I will always love you...always" he said and then kissed her.
"And I want you to hurry up as fast as you can and get back to Konoha...please at least try" Sakura pleaded.
"It would be so much easier if you just forgot about me..." Sasuke sighed out.
"Never...I will NEVER do that!" Sakura said.
He stood Sakura up and took her hand. He walked out and headed towards Orochimaru's room. When he arrived there he turned to Sakura.
"Okay I'm going to tell Orochimaru that I'm bringing you out in the woods at your request...but struggle and act mad so he won't get suspicious okay?"
"Okay..."she wispered.
Sasuke took both of her wrists in his hand and knocked on the door.
"Come in" he heard Orochimaru hiss.
"Our little pink-headed prisoner is requesting I take her out into the woods, she's sick of staying underground." Sasuke said. "Who knew someone so small could be so entirely frustrating" he continued.
"You may take her but preform standard routine, and watch out for any Leaf Ninja, they are all around the area looking for cherry head there." Orochimaru hissed.
"I will"Sasuke said. He then tugged on Sakura's wrists, "Aren't you going to thank the one who is letting you out?"
Sakura rolled her eyes, "Thanks" she said, her tone thick with venom as she almost spit the word.
They left the room and as soon as the door was shut Sasuke picked Sakura up and kissed her "I didn't mean any of that...you don't know how painful that was! I love you!"
Sakura giggled "I love you too, but lets go and not make this any harder then it already is."
Sasuke and Sakura ran 5 miles west towards Konoha until Sakura knew the surrounding land and knew where to go from there.
She turned towards Sasuke and they stood there for seconds, minutes, maybe even hours...when they were together they stopped time itself.
"I love you" Sakura said.
"I love you too, bye" Sasuke said as he turned around and left.
Sakura turned and started towards the Leaf village. She didn't like the sound of the word  'Bye' it sounded too much like 'Bye I'm never going to see you again and she didn't like that idea one bit. She was outside the Hidden Leaf Village now, as she saw people who all started to look familiar. She was greeted by many and had to tell her story probably over a thousand times. She headed towards the Hokage's office. She knocked on the door.
"Come in" she heard Tsunade yell.
She entered and when Tsunade looked up she felt as if she was in heaps and heaps of trouble. Tsunade sat there astonished by the pink-haired Kunoichi that stood before her.
"S-sakura?!" Tsunade said getting up from her chair, walking towards Sakura.
"L-lady Tsunade, I'm s-so sorry" but before she could finish she found herself in a hug with the Hokage.
'What is she doing...? The Hokage is never suppossed to show signs of emotion, and she has never really shown any type of affection towards me...'
"Sakura we are all so gald to have you back" Tsunade said.
"Thanks."
Sakura and the Hokage sat there for hours talking about the 2 weeks Sakura had been in captivity.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Later that night ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Sakura lay there in her bed thinking about Sasuke. She wondered how long it would be before he could return. She feel asleep that night thinking about him.
