Alright, lets get the prologue of this NEW story underway now shall we. Ok, well, for everyone who follows my story 'Undecided Angel' it has been put on hiatus for a while, seeing as I don't have any ideas. Also check my profile for other story info. Please forgive me for any name mistakes.

Now, lets begin.

"Should I Smile Because You're My Friend,

Or Cry Because That's All We'll Ever Be?"

Crystal tears ran freely down my face as I packed my personal belongings into a small bag. I didn't care if anyone heard me, I didn't care if anyone wanted to stop me. They never heard me before, and why would they care if I left.

So many things have happened over the years here in my precious Konoha. I graduated the academy, I got put in the same team as my long time crush. I made so many friends that I would hope never to forget, but somehow, I just might.

It has been four long and painful years since Sasuke defected to Orchimaru. I hadn't forgotten him, and one day I will find him and bring him back home. He may be a traitor, but he is still Sasuke, the same Sasuke who used to ignore me, and call me weak.

Pain shot up through my arm as I punched the wall hard, blood trickled down my knuckles and onto the wooden floor. Replaying all of those memories made me wonder why I still cared about him so much.

'Thank You'

His words still rang clearly through my head, even after all this time. After all that he has put me through, after all he has put everyone through.

There is still hope.

Closing the zip on my bag, I flung it over my shoulder. I walked quietly through my house checking that everything was ok before I left. I made sure the iron was off, the phone unplugged and the doors and windows shut.

Before walking out the door, I noticed a small picture frame with a dull and worn photo inside. I gave a small smile as I unhooked it from the wall. Grasping it in my hands tightly, a few more tears ran down my cheek.

One part of me didn't want to take it, because it would bring back too many memories. But the other side of me wanted to keep it as inspiration for getting Sasuke back.

I reached behind and slid it into my backpack. I decided to keep it, to remind me of what my purpose for going on this quest if you could call it that. After all, I was going against Tsunade-Sama's wishes.

Moving out the door, I gave a heavy sigh. Leaping up onto the roofs of houses, I made my way quickly to the outskirts of the Hidden Leaf Village. I didn't turn back, or I may of regretted my decision.

But when I made it to the entrance gates of Konoha, I stood atop the large arch and gazed back to the place where I may never be allowed to return. My blank expression showed no-one what I was feeling. With sadness in my words, I whispered quietly the phrase that I thought I would never have to use again.

"Goodbye…"

Ok, well there's the prologue. I hope to continue this story when I am not busy with schoolwork. So until then, goodbye.
