SasuSaku:Gone
Chapter 1: You Mean Nothing to Me
'I mean nothing to him? Well that's just fine, I don't care!He means nothing to me!' Sakura thought angrily as she stomped home from the Hokage Mansion. She marched right past Sasuke's apartment as it started to rain. She gave the angry storm clouds a smouldering look as she slowed her pace. So what if Sasuke didn't love her anymore?
'This isn't the first time he's broken my heart,' Sakura reflected sadly, wiping away the stray tears from her eyes as well as the rainwater. When she finally made it home, she threw open the door and slammed it shut behind her, not bothering to lock it. She kicked off her boots, throwing her wet bag to the floor and curled up on the couch in her wet clothes. But she couldn't sleep.
"I don't need him, he can run off with another woman for all I care," Sakura mumbled, hugging a pillow to her chest as she rolled over to face the kitchen. The remnants of her and Sasuke's meal from last night were still on the counter. She sighed as she shifted to her back to stare at the ceiling, tears rolling down the side of her face and onto her already wet hair.

He knew he had made a mistake the second he said the words. He knew he had made a mistake when he saw the look of hurt in her beautiful, emerald eyes. He knew he had made a mistake when she turned and ran from the room, not even bothering to say goodbye. And Sasuke didn't blame her. He ran a hand through his cobalt black hair, leaning back against the wall of the Hokage Mansion as the rain poured down. He tilted his face upwards towards the rain, letting it wash over him. 'I had to do it to protect her,' Sasuke thought to himself over and over. But it didn't make the pain any less. He stared listlessly ahead, letting the numbing cold take over his body. His only solace was that he knew Sakura was safe now. But he was wrong.

A black shadow advanced slowly towards the Konoha Gate. He used no concealment jutsu, using the rain as his concealment.
"Hey! Who goes there?" a voice called from the strangers left. He didn't give it a second glance as he pulled an explosive kunai from inside his jacket and threw it towards the voice. The action took less than a second. He listened with pleasure as the voice screamed, his explosive kunai hitting him dead in the heart and exploding, blood and body parts flying everywhere. The rain muffled his cries. He proceeded down the path into the town, moving with a purpose towards one of the apartment buildings. He climbed the steps slowly, pulling out a lock pick and a cloth. He kept the cloth well away from his mouth and nose. He jiggled the handle, pleased to find it already open. He opened the door silently and entered in the same manner. But the damned girl heard him anyway.
"S-Sasuke?" she mumbled sleepily from the couch, rubbing her eyes. Her clothes were soaked. Sakura opened her eyes, focusing on the black figure in her doorway. She knew at once something was wrong. She got up quickly, grabbing her shuriken pouch, but the stranger was too quick. In a second he was standing beside her and had the cloth firmly over her nose and mouth. Sakura sensed the drugs instantly, holding her breath so she didn't breathe in the through the cloth. She tried to fight off the man, but that tired her out more and finally, she took a small breathe. And that small breath was all it took. Everything became hazy. She took another breath and everything went black. The stranger let her fall to the ground, smiling contently. The boss would definitely reward him for this.
