Chapter one:

Hello again, if you can call it that

In a forest by the Rock Village. It's morning and fogey out.

A Konoha village ANBU kunoichi, stood in front of Uchiha Sasuke as he was leaving the rock village, after delivering a massage from Orichimaru. The kunoichi had on a midnight-black cloak, it's hood covered her head. So all you could see was her crimson-red and white, neko mask. Her eyes were closed so he was unable to see the color of them.

For some reason Sasuke's heart was racing as he looked at the ANBU. He knew this woman standing in front of him. But who? He thought to himself as he went into a defiance of move turning on the Shatingan. He held a kunai in his right hand, ready for an attack. The kunoichi just stood there with her hands down by her side, eyes still closed. He couldn't understand what she was doing standing there like an idiot.

Does she have a death wish? Or is she's planning something and what? As his last thought ended, she whispered something softly. He heard it and the words stopped his heart in it's tracks. "Sorry... Sasuke-kun..." Her whisper was soft, slow, and sad. Who could this person be to call me, 'Sasuke-kun' I never gave her my name! And what's with, 'sorry'? This was confusing the Uchiha.

Minutes passed by and then the kunoichi finely opened her eyes, showing him jade-green pools. His eyes widened slightly and his lips parted as he looked at the female ninja. Could she be? As he thought this, she went into a defiance, putting up her fist. He couldn't! No, he wouldn't believe that this ANBU kunoichi that he was about to kill was someone close to his heart. Like her... No, this Kunoichi is not her. He lied to himself and very well knew it. But if it was her, his heart would break and he didn't think he would live through this one.

It has been 9years since the kunoichi had watched the Uchiha first leave Konoha Village for the Sound with Orochimaru. And she hadn't lead her jade-green eyes on him in 4years since he had betrayed Konoha for the second time. And now he would never be welcomed back to their home village. It broke her heart to think of it.

When leaving the village, he had broken her heart for the second time. She had at the time thought that all her feelings for him had vanished with the Uchiha and his betrayals. But she still did hurt from the betrayal. And now seeing him like this... Sasuke's raven hair had grown longer, his midnight-blue eyes sharper, and he was much taller then he was since the last time she had seen him. He was dressed like a samurai in crimson bandages. Sasuke showed no sound mark on him, making him unknown to villages.

Her heart hurt through those seconds her eyes were closed. But she knew if she stared at him long enough he would know who she was.

Haruno Sakura had changed a lot since he had last seen her. She was still being trained by Tsunade-shishou and Kakashi-sensei. Even Asuma-san and other junnins helped with her training. She was now a high ranked junnin, ANBU, medic-nin. Her family was proud of her and her work. But she was not proud of what she was going to do to the man, she had just realized she still loved. And she knew with every move she was going to use, was going to ripe her heart into shreds. It was going to hurt her, more then him. She hoped anyways.

Sasuke got tired of not knowing who this ANBU kunoichi was. So he made the first move, by moving to her left as fast as he could and throw a kunai at her mask trying to make it a distraction. As she grabbed the kunai, he got behind her to knock her unconscious. But the instant he got behind her, she dropped the kunai, turned, and grabbed a katana hidden under her cloak from her backside and sliced down fast. And as she brought her katana down on him Sasuke turned to the left side and dodged it.

He grabbed her mask, cloak and ripped them off. In doing this he pulled her forward fast, making the caught off guard kunoichi lose her balance and fall to her hands and knees. But when Sasuke seen the pink hair as the cloak came off. #Snap# His heart snapped in two. I was going to kill... Sakura?... He jumped back in shock at the fact it was Haruno Sakura, his old teammate. And the woman his heart belonged to, so many years ago and may even now.

She turned and looked up at him. Her eyes still held the sparks of innocents, love, fire, kindness, warmth, and strong will. But there was something else in them. Hate? Her eyes had hate in them? Sasuke thought for a second and then he knew why. "Haruno Sakura?" He asked almost out of breath. But his word came out firm.

"..." Silence was all he could hear for what seemed like hours, but was only minutes. All he could do was just to stare at the young beautiful kunoichi. Who was on her knees staring up at him. Which he kinda liked.

"Yes..." She answered her voice empty. It had come so unexpected that it made him jump back a little. He didn't know she could sound so empty. It surprised him.

He then decided to stand up straight and looked down at her with a cold face. "What are you doing, here?" He asked his voice came out ragged, deep, husky, and desperate. His face didn't match what his voice was saying. Her eyes widened at the sound of his voice. His lust. He then turned his back and said. "I don't care! Go home or I will kill you, Sakura! And you of all people know that I can and will." His voice strained, harsh and a bit husky. "Good-bye." He said as he began to run away from her. She never tried to stop him. But he never looked back to give her a reason to stop him. It broke his heart and he was sure it broke hers.

10 minutes later

Sasuke began to think about her as he was heading for the sound village at a high rate of speed. I can't blame her for not stopping me after what I did to her. But I don't understand how she could sound so empty like that. She has never sounded like that before.

Is she that angry with me? Then Sasuke thought again, as he stopped running. Or was she hiding her feelings?... That was probable it! Yeah, right! He thought combing his hand throw his bangs and hair to the back. I would have hid my emotions if I was her. Hell, I do that now even.

Then he remembered something. Oh, frick, I better start running for the sound before Orochimaru gets suspicious of me again. And starts asking those stupid questions! He thought annoyed as he remembered the last time Orochimaru had done that to him. "Brrr!" And then he started running again at a high rate of speed. He would think about her later... And knew it...

At the same time on the other side of the forest.

Sakura had succeeded in her mission. In finding out the information on the Rock and Sounds plans on an attack on the Hidden Leaf village.

But her heart hurt so badly at thinking about what had happened just minutes earlier. Why, did I have to see Sasuke, again? And tonight of all nights? She thought in angry and despair. Of all the stupid missions Tsunade-shishou and Kakashi-sensei had to put me on? She squeezed her fist tight as she thought this. She knew it wasn't their fault. But still It had to be this one? Am I, cursed or something?

"Hey, Sakura, are you all right?" Asked the concerned Rock Lee as he turned her his away. She relaxed her fist so he wouldn't notice that they were fisted white.

Rock Lee was still after her heart as always. But, she never said yes to him or anyone who asked her. She was always too busy to go out with them. Even if she wanted too.

"Yes, Lee, I'm fine." She answered softly as she looked him in the eyes. "Don't worry about me. Ok?" She asked kindly. He stared at her for a few seconds and then sighed a fine. He warned her to take herself easy or she would pass out again. She assured him that she wasn't pushing that hard and that she would be fine. And that he should get ready to leave for home. He answered with a fine again. But asked her to give him a minute or two, to get his things and then they could leave for home. She told the bushy brows to hurry up or she would leave him there. She said this jokingly. He just smiled at her and got ready.

As they were leaving the forest near the Rock village. Sakura's heart sunk in her chest and she couldn't breathe. Which to her felt like minutes, but was only seconds. She had to stop running for fear of passing out. Her head felt airy and light. She closed her eye's and breathed in and out, slowly trying to regain her composure. "Sakura, get a hold of yourself." Her inner self told her gently. "You need to go home and get some sleep. And then you'll feel better." Right. I just need sleep. She thought trying to calm herself.

"Sakura?" Asked the concerned Rock Lee as he stood in front of her and put his hand on her shoulder. She looked up at him. Hie eyes full of worry. "Oh, I'm sorry... I just had to stop and think about what I was going to do when we got home. Sorry, if I worried you, Lee." Sakura said as she waved her hands in front of her telling him 'it was okay'. "All right, if you say so. Come on. We need to put a move on it so I can train some more with Gai-sensei, Okay?" Lee said smiling at her. "Okay." She smiled back at the bushy brow Konoha shinobi. And then they started running again. Her heart and head still hurt, but not as bad.

She would have enough time to think when she got home. Where she would be alone and could think straighter.

In the village of sound. 12 hours later. Night time.

Sasuke walked through the Sounds main hall that was only lit by candles. The night was pitch black without the moon. His heart missed the moon and it's soft memories that it brought him. "Sigh" He was heading to see Orochimaru. Something he dreaded too much. The man was a known liar.

Orochimaru sat on his big chair with Kabuto at his side. Sasuke approached him then stopped, bowed, and got down on one knee with his head hanging down. "Lord Orochimaru, the mission was a success. They fell for it." Sasuke spoke confidently to Orochimaru. He raised his head and asked with an evil smirk. "Hn? Are we ready to go, yet?" Orochimaru looked at him for a second and then. "Yeessss we are." Orochimaru said with a big smile spreading across his face. He was very pleased with Sasuke's work.

They had planned on the Hidden Leaf village to catch onto their fake plan of an attack. When the Hidden Leaf thought, they were coming to attack them. They would wait 4days till they really attacked. So they would be so warn out from watching and waiting, they wouldn't be able to protect themselves. It was kinda stupid, yet smart. "And now we wait, yeesss." Orochimaru chirped with his happy voice. You could tell he was excited about what they were going to do to Hidden Leaf village with the Rock village.

"Yes. Then I will wait and rest." Sasuke said as he got up to walk away. Sasuke looked at Kabuto, who was unusually quiet. Kabuto was half asleep his eyes closed and his head bowed down. Which proved how tired he was. They had been doing so much planning and training it had finely taken it's toll on the ex-Konoha shinobi. Sasuke just smirked at the sight and went to his room. He had no real care or liking for the guy.

To be...

I really don't have much to say. But, I just hope you like this story.
