Etc: At random I read the last 2 chapters of Naruto and it meshed perfectly with an idea I'd been kicking around forever and what I wish had happened (but knew never would) in that chapter. Needs rewritten, but at least I'm posting something.
1 With all her might she shoves the kunai into Sasuke's back, shattering his spine. She twists it, giving it another hard shove before leaping to a safer distance.
She doesn't need to look back to know Kakashi has a pole axed expression on his face. His voice is rough when he manages to speak "Sakura..."
"As..." With effort, she stills the tremor in her voice. "As somebody who loved him, it had to be me."
"It's not over yet," Sasuke hisses, blood dribbling from his mouth, keeping himself upright by some miracle.
"Yes, it is." Sakura rushes in, cracking three ribs with her punch. Even with his precious Sharingan his injuries are too grievous to allow him to dodge well. The force of it topples him over. "Naruto doesn't have the heart to kill you, so I have to bear this burden."
"You, you can't be the one to..." he snarls, arms thrashing weakly but his legs fail to respond.
"It galls you, that it's me." She stomps on his hand before he can form a seal. "I have no great power, no bloodline, no jinchuuriki. I'm a woman you've always dismissed as foolish and weak and I’ve beaten you."
The blood pours from his eyes as he attempts something and fails--his body is shutting down. Twitching, grunting and glaring are all he can manage, now.
She smiles, feeling the searing ire in his gaze. “For the last moments of your pathetic life, hate me. That’s all you were ever able to do.”
As if summoned, the last member of team 7 arrives at the scene. Naruto stands beside Kakashi, face clouded with emotion.
“Forgive me, Naruto.”
