"That's not my problem.."

'The Oath…was forever lost…'

……..

"Sasuke we made an Oath! We're a team…no ones suppose to get left behind…"

"Grow up that meant nothing..."

"It did to me…"

…..Chapter one: Our little secret…..

They all sat around a table, all unmoving. Their heads were bent down, not wanting to confess to the world that they had failed. Sakura's long pink hair fell in front of her face, concealing her features. Her jade eyes peered from underneath her locks and eyed her teammates.

She watched as Sasuke glared mercifulness at the table, his eyes narrow. His brows were furrowed in what she suspected was confusion, while his hands were in front of his mouth clasped together. She starred at his short black spiky hair that seemed to go in every direction, she would never even think of having a hair style like that, but he some how pulled it off.

His eyes flickered to hers and met her gaze. She quickly looked away and was met by a pair of blue orbs. She lifted her head a bit and looked at the blued eyed boy before her. His eyes drifted away from hers and glared at Sasuke. She would have normally smiled but she couldn't even muster up a smirk…she had nothing.

The room was dark, only a small lamp on the other side of the room lite the tiny space. The table they sat at was metal, along with the chairs. The walls were blank; it was like a jail cell almost. Sakura could see around the room a bit, there was a longer table in the middle with three chairs behind it, besides that….it was empty.

Sakura was broken out of her trance when Naruto's voice filled the room.

"Guys?"

She glanced at him, he was biting his bottom lip and looking from her to Sasuke. She looked away, Sasuke didn't even bother to look, nor say anything.

Naruto sighed and leaned his cheek on his hand. "Come on guys…its not that bad….it could have been worse." He looked at Sasuke, who was now glaring at him. "Believe it…" he muttered, not throwing as much enthusiasm into it as usual.

Sakura watched Sasuke's eye twitch as Naruto said 'believe it'.

"Worse?"She croaked. "Naruto we have to join a war because we couldn't do one simple thing…because of us thousands of innocent people are going to die…" she shook my head slowly.

"…." Naruto bowed his head in silence. "It wasn't out fault!" he started once more." It was suppose to be B ranked!! But that Itachi bastard decided to come along!!" he boomed while fisting his hands in anger.

Sakura could hear a growl come deep within Sasuke's throat which made her bite her lip. If Naruto didn't shut up then Sasuke would surely try to kill him…

She wanted to tell them both what they did wrong….but she couldn't. It was just as much her fault as it was there's, maybe even more so…she wondered what would have happened if she would have told Itachi no…

"Maybe…."she suddenly started. "Maybe we won't have to…I mean were only eighteen-

"Why would that matter!?"she jumped at Sasuke's sudden words. "There are going to be Genin fighting in this war!" he yelled though gritted teeth. "Don't be such a coward…" he added under his breath

Sakura flinched involuntarily as his words entered her ears, mostly because it was true…she was a coward, she had always been a coward, it was who she was. Sakura Haruno, the coward. I bet that's why we failed. Naruto got cocky, and Sasuke lost his head when he saw his older brother, it was inevitable. And the second the fighting started, I curled up into a ball…like a coward.

As a team we lost the biggest possible battle, as experienced Chunin they thought we could handle this…they figured that with our abilities, we would be fine, but as a team we were weak.

"How did this happen? It was three against two!" Naruto slammed his fist on the table. "how…?"

Sakrua sucked in her breath, this was her chance. "It was because…." she stopped and looked at both of them, Naruto was looking eagerly at her with his wide blue eyes, and Sasuke seemed to be holding his breath. Did he know what he did wrong? Did he think she wouldn't notice? "It was because we fought alone…"she stated. She could see the disappointment in Naruto's eyes, and the relief in Sasuke's. She had to explain.

"Naruto, the second Itachi told us he wanted the scroll, you immediately attacked him, alone. You didn't even think about anything, you just went for it. And you were beaten weren't you?"

Naruto bit his lip and looked away.

She slowly turned to Sasuke, he was starring at her, his eyes narrow in the slightest. "And Sasuke…you lost control the second he laid eyes on you. You snapped, and tried to kill him…all by yourself. "She muttered.

She watched as he glared at her, but he looked away as she narrowed her eyes back at him. He knew she was right.

"And me?" my eyes glazed over. "I didn't do a single thing to help…" They both looked at her once more. "I got scared…I just couldn't bring myself to fight him….and I am so sorry." her bottom lip started to tremble, she didn't want to cry….she had promised herself she'd never cry again. She looked around the room hoping they wouldn't notice.

"Sakrua…" came Naruto's comforting voice.

Was it that obvious she was going to cry? She looked up at him anyway; he was leaning toward her, a small smile on his lips.

"Your right…we need to work on teamwork more than anything…a lot." His smile grew, causing her own to start. She was right…. He turned to Sasuke. "Mostly you." He stated simply his face serious.

Her smile then fell. "Naruto." she said angrily. He really did want an early death didn't he?

He scratched the back of his head and gave her a cheeky smile.

Sasuke didn't seem so happy about this. "Look you dobe, any minute now Tsunade is going to walk through that door." He paused and pointed his finger towards said door on the other side of the room. He then continued. "They are going you interrogate us to find out what went wrong, if you even joke like that to them, they are going to make damn sure that we never leave the village together on a mission again! He shouted. "Is that what you want?"

Sakrua starred at the table; all of a sudden the table became interesting again. she knew he was right if they for any reason thought we went fit to be ninja anymore….they would take it all away…they would leave them with nothing, they would never go on another mission as a team, they would always be supervised.

"Fine."

Sakura and Sasuke both looked up at Naruto. He was looked down at the table, hands clenched.

Then, without warning He shot up from his chair, causing it to knock over in the process. Sakrua jumped up as well in surprise, Sasuke reached for his empty kunai pouch and jumped away from the table. Naruto lifted his head; his eyes were full of determination.

Great. She thought. He was having another Naruto moment.

He then lifted his fist out in front of him. She inwardly cringed as she thought he would yell believe it…but he didn't.

"Lets make an oath…" he started.

Sasuke's arms went lip at his sides as his eyes grew wide in confusion. He just starred at Naruto blankly.

"An oath of friendship!" his blue eyes bored into Sakrua's as he spoke. "An oath that will symbolize our enormity!!"

Sakura narrowed her eyes in surprise. 'wow, that's a bit out of his rage for vocabulary.'

"From this moment on…we will be a team!! No one gets left behind!"

Sakura then stiffened at his words. He was really being serious… "Naruto…" she whispered.

"No one…is forgotten…" he continued to stare into her eyes, almost like he was burning a hole there. he nodded towards her. She knew what he wanted… she nodded softly to him, raising her fist in the air next to his.

"no one is less important than anyone else…." Stated Naruto softly.

Sasuke glanced at their raised fists, he looked from sakura, to Sasuke, who were both watching him. he gave a small smirk and slowly lifted his fist.

"No one is forgotten….no one…." He repeated.

"Hai!" they all replied simultaneously.

"Believe it!!"

The room then grew tense, and right when Sakrua thought Sasuke would fly across the table and strangle him, the door flew open, revealing a very pissed Tsunade.

"Sit in you chairs damit!" she barked.

Sakura and Sasuke immediately sat down, and as they watched in horror as Naruto leaned back, missing his chair, that was still laid out on the ground behind him. their eyes went wide, he just sat there starring at them…they were all going to die here weren't they?

Tsunade lifted her brow at him. "Don't just sit there get up!" she ordered while walking over to the two metal chairs, and taking a seat.

Naruto got up and cleared his throat, pulling his chair forward and taking a seat. "Sorry…" he grumbled.

Sakura and Sasuke turned and glared at him, making him slide further down his chair. If something went wrong here…they would all be sure it had something to do with that…

"Now…" started Tsunade. "Let's begin, tell me-

"What about Kakashi?" Sakrua asked, immediately regretting it. She shifted nervously upon her glare. 'did I really just interrupt the Hokage? The one who had trained me on healing and focusing chakra into my limps, crating deadly blows? The one who is glaring at me with the intent to kill? Yes…I did…shit.'

"He will be here…" she growled though gritted teeth."Now don't interrupt me again…" she added while glaring at the door, apparently her anger was directed at Kakashi's absence.

"As I was saying…you are going to tell me in great detail, everything that happened…"

"…" no one said a word.

"any day now!"

"…"

Al l three Chunin looked at each other, and then away, then towards the door, praying kakashi would walk in at that second and save them from her wrath.

"Oh for gods sake I-

The door flew open, once more. Causing everyone to jump.

'God I swear, if anything else scares me today I m going to have a heart attack…' thought Sakrua while glaring at her sensei.

'Saved by the sensei' though Naruto smugly.

"Your late…"Tsunade retorted angrily. "I said meet me here at 1:00 sharp and it is now…" she paused and looked around the room, seeing that no clocks lined the wall. "WELL ITS LATE!!" she yelled as kakashi shut the door behind him, locking it.

Sakura watched at Naruto shifted nervously, she had no idea what was going to happen to them. Would they use torture? She glanced at Sasuke and inwardly cringed. He was leaned back in his chair, arms crossed against his chest, eyes closed. He seemed almost bored, but his face showed pure irritation. What was he thinking? Probably that she was a totally coward and Naruto was a complete loser. Like usual…'at least he's consistent….'

She thought back to that day… 48 hours ago to be exact. They had all just been released from the hospital, a few hours before.

Her thoughts were cut short as Kakashi cleared his throat loudly. She looked away from Sasuke and back to kakashi who was now seated next to Tsunade. He was leaning back casually with his hands on the table, playing with a kunai. He was looking at her…in fact. Everyone was looking at her. She turned to Naruto and was taken aback… he had his finger placed on the tip of his nose, and a cheesy smile was on plastered on his face.

"Nose goes!" he yelled happily. She blinked in confusion.

"huh?"

He smiled. "Tsunade asked which one of us was going to tell her what happened, and when you don't wanna do something, you put your finger on your nose and say 'nose goes' he explained. 'The last one to do it, as to talk." He added pointing to her. He saw the looked of confusion on her face and frowned. "Come on Sakura-Chan We've done this before, don't you remember?"

"Ya…but…" she started while turning to Sasuke. Her eyes nearly fell out of her skull. His finger was placed firmly on his nose. He looked even more annoyed than ever. 'He must really not want to tell them…' she sighed and slumped in her seat. "Fine…" she grumbled grimly. "We were-

"STAND UP!" Tsunade demanded.

'Geese is it just me or does she have a stick up her ass?'

Sakura slowly pushed herself up and walked towards her, heard bowed. She was so ashamed…she had to face her old sensei and her new one as she explained why they had failed their mission. She had never been put in this kind of situation, she felt like crying at the moment, but for some reason she figured it really wouldn't help her here…

She glanced back at her team. She had been so happy when they got this mission. It was their first together in a while. Since Sasuke was training with Kakashi, she with Tsunade, and Naruto with Jiraiya. Their paths rarely met. An even though she had long but lost her love for him, she was still excited to show him what she had leaned. And she had learned a lot…

Their eyes met, and she looked away, back into Tsunade's eyes. She bit her lip. "Ok…" she started. "Here's what happened…" she was surprised by how confident she sounded. She watched Tsunade's face as she started; the look of disappointment was evident.

……the story……

"In your faces Mist ninja jerks!" blurted Naruto as jumped beside Sasuke. Sakura rolled her eyes and sighed. This mission was too easy, she didn't even get a chance to show either one of them what she could do… "I mean really, that was too easy! What fucking wimps!" he shouted. They were running down a long dirt road, a few more miles and they would be in fire country. She was getting irritated with his constant shouting, and she was sure Sasuke had had enough as well. "We are amazing! We got the scroll with out a scratch on us! We are unbeatable! Believe it!!"

"Naruto!" he growled. "Shut your mouth, we aren't out of the woods yet, they could still be following us…"

Naruto rolled his eyes. "We aren't in the woods moron…" he replied, he turned to Sakrua and spun his finger around his ear, mouthing the words 'crazy' before turning back around.

Sakura really couldn't help but smile at this. She really did try. She bit her lip as Sasuke came to a stop in the middle of a clearing. He dug around in his bag and pulled out a scroll, tossing it to Sakrua. The look on his face showed he was in deep thought. "Hold this…don't let anyone get it…" he muttered.

She shut her mouth, forcing back a 'duh'. She didn't think that would really help their situation much. "ya sure, whats wrong?" she asked while placing the scroll in her back pouch, adjusting her arm guards.

He narrowed his eyes. "Don't you feel that…" he almost whispered. "I think it's…" he stopped and shook his head. it was almost like he was talking to himself. "Never mind…"

Sakura gave Naruto a worried look; he shrugged his shoulders and turned back towards him. "Lets go." He started, while taking off. Sasuke was about to, but he then turned back around to her, his eyes red.

Sakura took a step back. "Sasuke what are you-

"Give me the scroll." He demanded, reaching out towards her. "I changed my mind…"

Sakura narrowed her eyes. "I can handle it Sasuke…" she growled. What was with him? he was always underestimating her… she looked forward, seeing that Naruto was now out of sight. She fisted her hands and tried to walk around him, but he reached out and grabbed her arm, making her gasp. His nails dug into her skin, drawing blood. "Sasuke what is-" she stopped and narrowed her eyes. It had to be a genjutsu…

She pulled away from him and made a few hand seals. "release!" immediately it was broken, and immediately her scream filled the area….

------

Sasuke ran forward, something seemed off…he could no longer feel that chakra from before…but he still felt strange…like some one was watching them… he glanced at Naruto ahead of him, he seemed the same. He then turned to see Sakrua behind him, she saw him looking and smiled widely. A faint blush on her cheeks. That's when he stopped.

"Sasuke!" shouted Naruto, clearly annoyed. "Come on we are almost there, stop messing around!"

Sasuke ignored him and started walking towards Sakrua. "Let me see the scroll…" he stated. She stopped smiling.

"Why Sasuke-kun I-

"I said show me the scroll!" he hissed while stepping towards her, grabbing her upper arm. She flinched.

"Sasuke-Kun why are you being so mean? Don't you love me anymore?!" she cried while trying to get away from him. He took out a kunai, making her freeze, eyes widening.

"Sasuke what the hell are you-

He stopped as Sasuke shoved the kunai into her stomach, her scream filling the air. it wasn't until a few moments after she slumped forward that they realized it wasn't her that was screaming. Both men looked up, seeing another Sakrua standing a few feet away. It was a genjutsu…but that thought never crossed the teen's minds as they saw what she was screaming about.

It seemed like time had stopped, they all watched as A dark haired man stood above Sakrua, his hand fisted in her hair behind her head, pulling her into him.

"Wha-...Sakura-Chan!" cried Naruto as he starred wide eyed at her shuddering form.

"Itachi…." Sasuke hissed, his eyes tuning red, while he fisted his hands. It was like nothing else existed accept for the older Uchiha.

"To be expected of an Uchiha…" came a rough voice, which brought Sasuke momentarily out of his trance as the fake Sakrua slowly started to morph, her skin turned blue, along with her hair, as she got taller, her pink dress turned into a black cloak with red clouds, a long sword then appeared as the transformation was complete.

"Not you too…" muttered Naruto in horror as Sasuke jumped away from him, landing beside the blonde.

Kisame bellowed with laughter, holding his stomach. "Well its nice to see you too." He grumbled.

Naruto narrowed his eyes and pulled out a kunai, not realizing that Sasuke was now slowly walking towards Itachi. "You jerk! What do you think your doing!" he growled.

Kisame just shrugged and shifted his weight. "that's none of your business twerp." He stated while brushing him off and turning to where Sasuke now stood a few feet in front of him.

"Hey!" Naruto gritted his teeth together as he was ignored. He raised the weapon, ready to throw it but stopped as Itachi's words entered his mind.

"Open your eyes."

Naruto froze. …Naruto gripped the weapon tightly. "Get your hands off of her!!"

Sakura's eyes were shut tightly, she had one hand behind her head, gripping his, trying to pry it away but to no avail. He was strong; she could feel his deadly aura radiating into her, chilling her to the bone. She was in the hands of a killer…he was going to kill her…she could barely though she knew she couldn't…she wasn't weak….she was a strong kunoichi. 'Come on you've been waiting forever to show them what you're made of!' her inner self chanted. 'Get up, get up!'

Sakura felt like crying , she felt like curling up and disappearing. She swallowed hard as she felt his hot breath on her ear. "Kunoichi…Open your eyes." Her heart literally stopped beating for a split second. He was going to capture her with his eyes! She couldn't let that happen. She shut them tighter, her free hand digging into the dirt, she could feel it getting shoved under her nails, but she didn't care. There was nothing she could do. She couldn't open her eyes; she couldn't fight with them closed.

She stiffened as she felt something poke her stomach, it was sharp, and it hurt. She gritted her teeth together to surprise a hiss of pain. That would only add to his satisfaction, and she wouldn't do that. She wouldn't let him know how scared she was, or how much pain she was in. she wouldn't give up, she had to stay strong. Then something occurred to her. This was Sasuke's older brother, the one who had killed his family, the one who had become an ANBU captain at the age of 14!! It was him who had made Sasuke this way…so reserved…so off in his own world…so not…him. She opened her mouth to say something but instead a scream came out as the weapon dug into her skin. "Kunoichi…I'm running out of patience." He whispered. His voice making her break out into a cold sweat.

"S-S-Sakura." She whimpered. She had to get more time for her team, they would be here soon…she had broken the genjutsu, she was going to be ok…they would save- she internally slapped herself. No…she would save herself…she wasn't going to let them save her…she would do this! She could do this! She waited for him to say something, but nothing came, she thought she would elaborate "M-my name is Sakrua, a kunoichi is what I am…it's not my name.

Her head was once more filled with silence. She couldn't see Sasuke or Naruto, but she could sense them. She wondered why they weren't moving, why they were still. Kisame hadn't even uttered a word for a while. She was grateful that they were going to see what she could do, but she was still a little disappointed deep down. Just when she thought he was just going to ignore her, his calm voice sounded though the quiet area. "Sakrua huh?" she was tempted to open her eyes, but she caught herself.

-….End of Story…-

Sakura starred down at the floor, the room was silenced once her voice stopped. Her palms started to sweat as she slowly looked up at Tsunade, who was starring intently at her, clearly surprised with the Itachi aspect of the story. She nodded towards her, signaling for her to continue.

She swallowed, and glanced back at her two teammates. Both eyes on her now, they didn't appear to be breathing, they were like frozen statues.

"And then…um…." She cleared her throat. She had to do this…she just had too. She wasn't sure if she would regret it…but she had too. "Then Naruto attacked him, he moved, letting me go in the process, and Sasuke, um. He attacked him to." The whole time she spoke, her eyes stayed on the floor, she could feel her face turn red. "They eventually fought off Kisame…I just stood there…When they weren't moving he turned to me, Naruto was caught in his arms, a kunai to his throat. He said either give me the scroll, or I will take the kyūbi." She whiped her hands on her shorts and wet her lips before continuing. "So…I gave it to him." she almost whispered. she could see from the corner of her eyes both her team mates relaxed. She had put the fault on her. She had said she was too weak to do anything, and gave up. and that wasn't what happened…he didn't even want the scroll…

She turned to Tsunade, their eyes meeting. "That was a very nice story Sakrua…but how about the truth…."

Sakura's breath hitched as she turned to Kakashi. How did he….

"That was-

"Bullshit." He muttered. His eye was boring into hers, making her start a new wave of sweat. He was right…that last part was a total lie…but the rest was true…and she knew that she could and would never tell them. Ever. She turned to her teammates. They didn't even know the whole truth….they thought she was doing this to cover for them…but she was only covering for herself. She closed her eyes, remembering what had actually happened.

~….Story….~

Her head was once more filled with silence. She couldn't see Sasuke or Naruto from where she was, but she could sense them. She wondered why they weren't moving, why they were still. Kisame hadn't even uttered a word for a while. She was grateful that they were going to see what she could do, but she was still a little disappointed deep down. Just when she thought he was just going to ignore her, his calm voice sounded though the quiet area. "Sakrua huh?" she was tempted to open her eyes, but she caught herself.

His voice was low, almost inaudible. "I'm going to make you a deal then…Sakrua." She stopped breathing. Had she heard him right? He wanted to make a deal with her? This wasn't real…it couldn't be…

"W-what kind of deal?" she asked accusingly, she could feel his eyes on her face, probably searching for something…though he wouldn't find it, since what he was most likely looking for was in her eyes.

It was quite for a few more minutes, which drove her crazy. Then he shifted, turning her away from him, she could still feel his breath from behind. "Open you eyes now kunoichi…" he whispered. And she did. Her breath caught in her throat at what she saw.

"N-no…." her eyes went wide. Sasuke was lying in a bloody heap at the feet of Itachi, a clone. While Naruto was in the hands of Kisame, who was making their way towards them. he was motionless, his bright blue eyes were closed, a trickle of blood running down his temple. "What…Let him go!" she hissed, while trying to struggled out of Itachi's grip. His hold on her just tightened.

"A deal." He repeated. she stopped moving and gritted her teeth together. Both her teammates were out cold…without her even realizing it. Though she didn't have to see it, to knew what had happened. Itachi's clone showed up, Sasuke attacked him without even thinking, got his ass kicked, then Naruto probably tried to help, and the same thing happened to him.

"Just take it…." She muttered angrily. "Take the scroll and leave him alone." she was shaking then, from frustration and anger rather then fear. This always happened, she was always the one who couldn't do anything…she was always the weak one. Even after all this time of hard work and training…nothing changed.

She heard a chuckle from behind her. "I don't want the scroll…I want you."

At the moment everything seemed to paused. Her eyes went wide once more, as she starred at Sasuke's bloodied body. 'I want you' his voice echoed in her head. 'you' something exploded inside her then, a warm feeling in her stomach that made its way to her chest, making her heart beat faster. He wanted her…Itachi Uchiha wanted her…this was unreal…why here? Sakura Haruno. "Me?" She asked quietly in disbelief.

"Yes…you…"

She swallowed hard. "Why?"

She once again felt him shift behind her, his knee digging into her back, she only cringed, but said nothing. His hand came into view before her, the scroll they had worked so hard for was in his hands…but how did he get it?

"You see…Sakrua. I had the scroll all along; the one that you stool was just a fake."

No…

"I need you…because you have something that could help me…" he stopped and waited for her to say something, but when nothing else came he continued. "Your medical skills…I want you to heal my eyes."

His eyes? What the fuck for, they seem to be working just fine.

Sakura shook her head. "I would rather die then betray my village for the likes of you." She spat while narrowing her eyes as the blue man before her laughed, dropping Naruto at her feet. She starred down at him, his breathing was shallow.

"It won't be you that dies Sakrua…" he replied. she knew what he meant…she knew that it would be Naruto…he would take Naruto…her friend…her best friend…."I will come find you, when I need you…you will heal my eyes, and I might just let you go afterwards…depends on the quality of your work." He explained. "in return I will make sure Naruto doesn't die until you have made your part of the deal."

Sakura felt like crying. He might let her go? She was going to risk her life, betray her village, and heal the eyes of a monster? The brother to the one she had once loved with all of her heart? And she wasn't even guaranteed her life in return? What was in this shit deal for her? Naruto let out a long shaky breath before her, making her remember. Oh but of course…he would live…

Sakura shut her eyes. He would never forgive her…Sasuke would hate her for the rest of her life, no matter how long it may be. And it was at that moment that she decided not to tell him…not to tell anyone for that matter. It would be their little secret….

"It's a deal." She whispered. a sharp pain was then enforced on the back of her head before she fell into darkness.

"You are truly foolish…kunoichi."

~…end…~

In the end, it turned out that the scroll they had Stoll had indeed been fake, but it didn't matter. The mist had been following them, and when they got there, they were unconscious. The leaf had sent other shinobi to make sure they had completed the mission safely, which they didn't. The scroll was gone, and the mist ninja were leering over them when they arrived, intent to kill. If it wasn't for the ANBU, they would have been killed. But the mist saw that they were leaf, and proclaimed a war.

Sakura slowly opened her eyes to stare at her sensei. "I'm not lying…it's the truth." She muttered, while starring at him blankly. She was a fool wasn't she…and she was going to pay for it…dearly.

The room was silent for what seemed like ages, before Tsunade finally spoke. "Very well…Your three may leave then." She stood up and crossed her arms. "One month." She added. "The war will start, and I will expect you three to be in the first divisions." She nodded towards them, not even glancing at Sakrua, before making her way out the door, Kakashi slowly got up and followed behind her, not saying a word.

The first division was where the anbu where…they made the first move…the most dangerous part. They were always attacked first…and most would always die…

Naruto stood up and walked over to her, placing his arm around her shoulders. "It's alright Sakrua- Chan…I will make sure nothing happens to you…" he muttered while giving her a warm smile. She heard Sasuke get up and walk towards them, he stopped at her side, saying nothing. It was then that she realized that she was crying. But not for the reasons they thought…

She didn't want to dry, she tried forcing down the sobs but they kept coming. 4 years…she had gone 4 years without crying…and now. She turned to Naruto, who wrapped his arms around her, his hand patting her back. "Everything's going to be ok…I promise" he whispered. She wanted to hit him, she wanted to tell him he was stupid to think that things would be fine. She was going to die…and most likely never see him again. Sasuke would forever hate her after he knew what she had done. She would die a traitor…

She felt a hand on her shoulder and glanced up, looking at Sasuke. He was starring into her eyes with something that looked like understanding, but she wasn't sure. For a second she thought that maybe he knew, but that was impossible, and if he did…he wouldn't be looking at her like that. He would probably be trying to kill her or something…

"Come on guys, let's go eat some ramen!" Shouted Naruto, as Sakrua seemed to calm down.

Sasuke just nodded and walked towards the door. Sakura watched as Naruto followed him. She didn't move for a moment, until they both looked back at her, waiting for her to follow. She forced a smile and made her way towards them. They were her boys…they would always be there for her, no matter what. She just had to keep telling herself that.

"From this moment on…we will be a team!! No one gets left behind!"

Naruto's words echoed in her head. 'No one is less important than anyone else….'

They all excited the room, leaving it to its silent darkness.

'No one…is forgotten..'

Well that's the first chapter!! What did you think??
