Hi I am back again with another story I think my stories are getting better thanks for the reviews so far and the helpful criticism it helped me a lot :D
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto so yeah
A 25 year old Sakura Haruno was leaning against the windowsill, looking over the village. Konoha, the village hidden in the leaves. A tear cascaded down her cheek as she held the ring in her hand, remembering what happened that one day. How the one she loved the most was gone, and the worst thing was, it had been all her fault. "Oh Naruto I'm sorry" she said as the fondled the ring, as more tears appeared, after all that was the only thing she had left.

Sakura had been married happily to Naruto for the last 3 years but she had a drinking and gambling problem, which she may have gotten from her master, Tsunade. Sakura had reassured Naruto that she would get over it and surprisingly she did all for the sake for their marriage. She would only drink and gamble if she was under a lot of stress or just wanted some time away from home, but that was hardly ever.
"Today of all days was the worst", she had a long shift at the hospital due to the chunin exams today. Many where covered in serious injuries and others had a scratch or two but that didn't stop them from going to the hospital.
"Finally, I'm out of that place who knew kids these days had so much energy," she sighed. As Sakura walked through the streets of Konoha as something caught her eye. It was a gambling place; she ignored it knowing that she gave up gambling for Naruto. Then again she didn't gamble everyday she deserved at least one last time. Walking swiftly she sat herself at a slot machine.
"Here goes nothing," she said as the dug through her purse slipped a dollar in and put it into the machine. "Winner" it rang as lights started flashing and coins started emptying out. Feeling that her confidence had grown she put more and more money into the machine. Hours had past since she had went home to drink some sake after the lost she just had. Hoping it would cool her down and ease her stress more. Then all of a sudden there was a knock and the door opened to reveal Naruto.
"Hi Sakura-chan, look what I got you." He said as he pulled out a small container of bento. "Your favourite, I know you had a ruff day with the patients and all so I ....." He stopped in med-sentence when he realized two things. Sakura had been drinking again, he saw the sake bottle the smell of alcohol and the dazed expression on her face. "Alright, Sakura what cause you to drink so much," replied Naruto.
"Nothing....Naru-hic-to, I just spent some time hanging out with my best buddy in the whole wide world" Sakura said giggling like her 12 year old self.
"Ino?" asked a concerned Naruto
"Nope, Mr. slot machine" she said, as a smile spread across her face.
"Sakura, please when you have a problem cant you just talk about it with me instead of going gambling. You know we already owe money to a lot of people already that I'm trying hard to pay back but I don't know if I can, if you keep gambling I even had to tap into my inherited money."
"You, you, you is it. Is this your way of saying that us owing money is my fault I worked hard for that money and I at least have the right to spend what I want to on it. Why do you keep treating me like a child Naruto if you don't stop I will start acting like one. You know what I don't care. I don't care that we owe money or I don't even care about you, sometimes I don't even know why I am married to a demon like you."
"Sakura stop it right now, we both know you are drunk." He said he knew she was drunk she just said all those things to vent out her anger. So why did it hurt so much, maybe at some point he felt like Sakura hadn't really loved him that way like she said in their wedding vows. Maybe that was how she really felt about him only marrying him for pity.
"Go way demon go back to where you belong, sometimes I wish I married Sasuke instead." That shattered his heart he close his eyes and turned away hopping the pain would go way, like it was going to kill him. Suddenly he heard a thump and turned around and saw Sakura pasted out on the ground. He signed as he picked her up, tucked her into their bed and kissed her on the forehead. A tear silently fell from his cheek to the ground as he closed the door and walked out of her life for good.
She snuggled deeper into the bed sheets as she rapped an arm to Naruto's side of the bed hopping to snuggle with him. After her hand patted the empty pillow her eyes shot open to realize he wasn't there. All of a sudden her head started pounding looking around the saw some pain killers and a glass of water. She quickly drank the pill to recall what had happened the other day. She had said some really mean things to Naruto. She sighed as she put on some work clothes and headed out the door. Hopefully she will see Naruto today to apologize after all what was the worst that could happen.
After hours at the hospital a tired Sakura came home to their apartment.
"Naruto. Naruto are you home."
All that was there was an empty house filled with furniture. Then later she noticed that there was a letter on their dining table. Slowly she walked up and tore up the letter knowing it was for her. She sat by the windowsill as she read it, tears began to cascade down her cheeks and onto the floor.
Dear Sakura,
By the time you read this I would be out of Konoha and into a different village. I had always ponder on how strongly your love for me was, I knew it was strong, but I guess not strong enough. Yesterday was the day you finally said what you had to say, I knew you where drunk, but I guess deep down I still though you loved him and married me out of pity. By me leaving you like this you can start over by forgetting about me and moving on to another. The past few years were great I felt like you were always there for me and loved me with all your heart. You even comforted me when my sensei had died.
I guess the years for you weren't all that great, maybe it was just a stupid one sided thing. But to tell you the truth I could not stay mad at you for long, I'm not even mad just disappointed at you, I guess that's now I am. There are a few things in the letter that you might need, it's my ring, you could pawn if for a lot of money in case you need some due to the money we owe. All I know was it took me 4 months salary to afford that thing. Hahaha, I even remember the look you gave me when I proposed to you, well I guess this is goodbye, maybe even for forever.
With lots of love
Naruto.
So there she was crying and tightly grasping the ring in her fingers feeling sorry for how she treated for Naruto.
