Sasuke lunged at her, an angry heat in his eyes. Twisted on his face, in chilling contrast, was a small, cold smile.
Sakura’s face was ashen as she leaped back on the water (as ashen as his terrible, glorious wings) and she narrowly escaped his vicious grip-But then Naruto was there, an orange shield, bright and tart and solid on the churning river, with glowing mass of spirals in his hand.
Sasuke halted. Naruto opened his mouth to speak, but Sakura stopped him with a firm hand on his shoulder as she stepped around him.
“Come back, Sasuke,” she said over the hiss of the falls.
“There’s nothing for me there,” said Sasuke.
“There’s everything for you here,” snarled Naruto, and he dropped the rasengan in his hand to shove him down into the rippling currents and kiss him hard against the downstream pull.
It took a while before Sakura tugged them out onto the bank, and when she finally did, Sasuke wore a stunned, furious look, and Naruto grinned vindictively.
“Let’s go back to Konoha,” she said. “Let’s make a home. You don’t need the curse seal anymore, Sasuke; you don’t need those wings.”
Sasuke seemed ready to protest by the belligerent set of his shoulders, but Naruto silenced him with a glare.
When Sakura leaned forward to cup his cheek and kiss him gently, Sasuke leaned back.
