Letters at Midnight
Hey everyone. My second SakuSasu fanfiction is here. First, I want you all to REVIEW after reading please. And second, I'm not going to take credit for all of this. This fanfiction is based on a bit of the fairytale: Robin Hood, the anime: Romeo x Juliet, and of course, Naruto.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. I never will. I really don't get why I have to do this.

Chapter 1: Once Upon a Time
Can you hear me now? My words written on paper...can you read them?
Are you watching me?
I still write to you, you know. I don't know why. I keep on thinking that if I were to keep on writing, as if everything were still the same, I would wake up to the sun shining in my eyes and find you. And I would walk to the very same tree and the edge of the walls to find the very same arrow pinning a message. A message from you.
And then I would find you. Waiting for me.
But it's not. It's not the same.
Did you know, that all the villagers tell a story about you now? There's a story about us. About you and me, rescuing the village. They tell about you the most though. How generous you were. How courageous. How kind.
But they forgot to mention one thing in the story:
They forgot how you left me.

"We've almost arrived, Sasuke-heika."
He looked out the carriage. Out to the pale silver pathway paved by the full moon hanging above the gray shadow of a mansion. The hooves of the horses clacked while the coach rocked uneasily. He rubbed his forehead. He would make sure to tell his Uncle about the uncomfortable ride.
"We must saddle our own horses now."
He stepped out of the carriage and saddled a pure white horse. The saddle was jeweled in red, while he held the gold-lined reins with a straight back.
Suddenly, the sound of galloping horses running the opposite direction shattered the silence of the night. The horses whinnied as he could hear the voices call.
"It's the Robin Hood!"
"Make sure he doesn't get away!"
He could see the crowd of men from the palace running after a single cloaked figure. They managed to surround him, but the shadow only nimbly blocked every one of their swords. He broke away, jumping onto a horse without properly saddling it and started to gallop away.
"Get him!"
He could see the figure coming closer to him. His cloak billowing out behind him, the hood covering his face in shadows as he hunched over the mare's neck. He carried a sack filled with gold behind his back. Agile and quick.
Then, he felt it, the rush of air as the figure passed by him. He looked to his side.
They met eyes.
Onyx eyes of never-ending storm, hair of royal raven black.
Green eyes of spring, a hint of pink hair hidden under the hood.
A girl?!
And then the figure left, leaving only dust behind, as he was left to watch him disappear into the forest.
A/N: I've already said all I needed before, really. All I'll say again is: COMMENT.
Oh, some vocab:
Heika- A honorific meaning "king" or "queen"
I might be a bit slow on updating since I suck at keeping up with a lot of fanfics at once.
