Infiltrating Sadness

4 years ago, Sakura Haruno left the Leaf Clan. No one knows the reason. Just one day everyone woke up with no pretty 13 year old girl with strange pink girl bopping Naruto and chasing after Sasuke. Everyone, especially Naruto, was broken at this, but can do nothing. Sasuke didn't react, which the townspeople thought was that he never cared. Of course, Team 7 lost a teammate and as an act of kindness, Hokage allowed Ino as a replacement from her broken team, since the fat guy in her team died.

"Sasuke!" Ino called, searching for her love. "Oh, there you are!" She exclaimed, seeing him walking with a blabbing Naruto. As they grew, now 17 years old, Sasuke became more popular (and because he grew more handsome), not only to the Konoha but to other villages as well. Naruto, er, only grew.

"What?" Sasuke said unemotionally.

"Hokage wants a meeting, darling." Ino answered coyly.

"Shut up the darling part. Let's go Naruto." He said, now addressing Naruto.

Ino was hurt. Sasuke became colder to everyone the day they discovered Sakura was gone. "Why did you become so cold?" She cried, hugging Sasuke's back.

The next moment, Ino found herself on the ground, with Sasuke giving her a death glare. "You'll never be like HER..." he whispered, enough only for Ino to hear.

At the Hokage meeting, with everyone assembled attentively...

"Everyone! We were given great honor today. The leading white clan, Infinity Clan will send its greatest fighters here. In these fighters include their own prince and princess. Give them respect!" Hokage announced.

"Yes, great Hokage!" they chorused, bowing.

"Where are we, princess?" a very handsome long brown-haired man asked.

"Don't ask me. I haven't been hear for years. 4 years, in fact."

*sigh* I wish Sakura was here... her delicate face framed in a bright smile...* Sasuke frowned. *Hell, where did that come from! I never had any feelings for that annoying girl. There's just something lacking... its like, I lost a key of myself, when she was gone... that smile, just here before me... WAIT! Before me?!*

Sasuke shook out from his stupor as a lady smiled again before him. Naruto was blubbering something incoherent beside him as Ino was staring at the lady, speechless.

Finally, Ino snapped back and asked her, "Is there anything you need, miss?"

The lady was in their age, with cherry-pink hair, waved just in the right places. She was wearing a royal blue dress with sheer long sleeves, and a silver band around her forehead. She was the most beautiful and charming girl anyone could ever meet. But for Sasuke, she was strangely familiar...

The lady appeared puzzled. "You see, a few of us and I went here to fulfill the request of your Hokage. But I haven' t been here for a while and the others have never been here at all. Could you please direct me to the ANBU offices? Maybe Hokage will be there as well."

"I could bring you there." Naruto offered, finally out of his stupor.

"Thank you. Let me call my companions." She sharply whistled, and an eagle appeared and landed on the stranger's shoulder. "Levis laem melanamin, hana senich. Mayu ru sae." (They are friends, call the others. Let them follow you.)And with that the eagle flew away.

"Let's go." The lady cheerfully said.

*She really reminds me of someone...*
