Disclamers!: I don't own Naruto or any characters Part of this story was based off Exodus '04 by Utada Hikaru, which I don't own either.

Happy new years, I'm just going to post this raw. This is how I write good and bad. Now if you see words that are mis-spelled (as in out of context, common mistakes some uncommon mistakes, yes I'm like Naruto in some respects that's why I have a proof-reader.) send me a PM, I'll fix it. I wanted to post it as is, let me know what you think.

Also, this is dedicated to everyone that's reading Second Chance, Thank you so much for the Alerts and wonderful Reviews. Much love and have a happy new year, Chayanne.

Chapter 1: Aitai

With you these streets are heaven
Now home feels so foreign
They told me I was mistaken, infatuated
And I was afraid to trust my hunches
Now I am ready…

Walking down the streets of Konoha, her feet seem to drag. It's not the same here, why? Her heart seems heavy also with a distasteful feeling, love. Shinobishould not let emotions crowd ones thoughts ones actions, yet for some reason she felt compelled by these feelings. Sakura has never been one to control her emotions, ask anyone around her. She was the cry baby of team seven, she felt it was her fault that Sasuke left even if it really wasn't. Now she feels that it is her fault that Kakashi is missing. Weeks before he left on mission she told him how she felt for him, daisuki. He left and hasn't come back.

Early that afternoon Tsunade had called a meeting, she wanted volunteers to go looking for a one Hatake Kakashi. "He should have been back weeks ago; we need someone to go look for him. Now understand this, it could take weeks, months or even a year to find him. With this knowledge consider carefully if you are willing to go or not."

Without a second thought Sakura stood, "I will go." Everyone looked at her with a very surprised look. Some knew that she had strong feelings for her leader. Whispering crossed over the crowd of Shinobi's, who would go? Honestly this was a mission that would shave years off, to try to find someone that might already be dead. No one wanted that kind of responsibility. Two others stood up in the midst of the hushed whispers.

"I will go with Sakura-chan." Raising his hand high up into the air, the blond gave his best smile to Sakura.

"As will I," Sasuke was looking at Sakura not at Tsunade when he said this, but Sakura's back was to him so she never saw look on his face. He knew she would give up everything, everything for that man their team leader.

Tsunade sighed, "Alright are you sure now? There's no coming back until you find him, dead or alive. Understand me?"

The three replied, "Yes understood."

"Alright then, meeting adjourned."

Everyone stood to leave, Naruto and Sasuke look at her. "We'll meet at the gates at dawn, is that alright?" They nod at her, each of them head to their respective homes to get ready for the long journey ahead of them.

While he was missing everyone around her tells her that her feelings are a fleeting thing; her feelings for him are not real. It's just a crush like she had on Sasuke all those years ago. No, this is different. My heart… it hurts, I want to see him. Aitai, aitai … Kakashi aitai! Reaching her small apartment, opening the door she comes to a resolve. I have to find him; I don't care what they say.

Notes:

Aitai means "I want to see you" "I need to see you" and is a common theme though out this story.
Daisuki means I really like you or sometimes translated to I love you.

Also, these chapters are very short however some longer then others .
