"Sakura, ka?" Sasuke asks, smirking up at Sakura just as a trail of blood flew down from the corner of his mouth.
He knew at once that the kunai she used was poisoned. He was already feeling weak and numb. After all, she had become a medic nin.
He didn't expect that.
And he didn't expect this.
He never in his life, had even considered the idea that he would die by Sakura's hand.
But in a way, isn't it just fitting?
Sakura kneeled by his side, her tears flowing freely from her eyes.
"I'm so sorry, Sasuke-kun. I'm sorry." She sobbed.
He knew she could heal him, but
she didn't do so. She just kneeled there and cried, knowing he was dying.
He wanted to laugh, but he couldn't anymore. For one last time he looked at his old teammate's face. The girl who loved him, the girl he left, now the girl that killed him, or maybe saved him?
Sakura was always trying to save him.
Sasuke was still smirking as he slowly, involuntarily closed his eyes. The last view he saw was of a crying Sakura.
Why does he always make her cry?
And his last thought was the irony of who finally ended him.
'Sakura, ka.'
END
EDIT:
Alternative Ending I added on Twitter (since people were heartbroken lol):
Sasuke wakes up and finds his wife of 10 years sleeping beside him. His heart was still pounding, and he immediately touched his wife. She's real. She's here.
He pinched himself. He's also here. He's alive.
It was just a bad dream.
