Chapter 1

Sakura lay upon the ground of her bedroom falling in and out of consciousness. Her life flowing out of her and her regret lay around her appearing in the form of crimson liquid.

"Sasuke…" she whispered as she held a cut out from a newspaper reading 'Uchiha of Konoha dead' just before she breathed her last breath. She exhaled then stopped. Her breath silenced and her body stiff, her bloodied tool lay beside her.

Sasuke walked through the Konoha gates and stopped to study the sight of his home Village. He exhaled a breath of relief.

"Home at last. Finally succeeding at killing Itachi took longer than I'd thought…", after this was said he walked up to his lovers home and knocked on the door. He's been so excited to see her warm, soft face after battling with his not so friendly older brother.

There was no answer when he knocked the first time, so he knocked again, and again. He looked around and saw no traces of anybody inside. He jumped up onto Sakura's small veranda and peered through the glass doors. Nothing, absolutely nothing. Sasuke then gave up, thinking that she must be out shopping or something. As he walked around he didn't see very many people, but on the odd case that he did, they gave him a very strange look.

He decided to look for Naruto, in hope that he would tell him what was going on. But he found the same thing at Naruto's home, nothing.

There could be a get together they're having…

Then as he passed a park he noticed Ino sitting on a bench, wearing all black and wiping tears from her eyes. Sasuke decided that he might go over and ask if she'd seen Sakura, and then maybe try and console her.

"Ino" called Sasuke. She looked up and stared at him in disbelief.

"S-Sasuke-kun?"

"Yeah, who else? What happened did somebody die?" asked Sasuke, as his curiosity peaked. Sasuke then earned himself another disbelieved face. Then Ino spoke quietly.

"I-It was Sakura-chan's…"

Sasuke just stood there in his place in awe.

"You're joking; tell me you're joking..."

Ino shook her head sadly which caused some loose tears to fling off her cheek. Sasuke ran over her and grabbed her throat.

"Tell me you're lying!" he yelled. Ino started crying and somebody grabbed his wrist, immediately Sasuke released Ino's neck. Sasuke looked around to see the perpetrator.

"She's not lying" said Naruto.

"D-Did you just have her funeral..." asked Sasuke quietly. Naruto nodded, the Naruto held out his hand. Sasuke looked down upon it and saw a small pink book. It had little Cherry Blossoms on it. It must've belonged to Sakura.

What is this book?

"She said that if anything happened to her, I should get this from her mother and give it to you…" said Naruto. Sasuke held out his hand and received the small book. He looked at it closely and studied its features. He turned the hard cover and read 'Haruno Sakura's Diary'.

Sasuke knelt before Sakura's grave stone all the while clutching her diary. One of the only things he had that belonged to her, that and he had taken her V-plates. He smiled at that thought. The way that the two became lovers was really coincidence; Sakura would argue that it was truly fate that had brought them together. Sasuke thought that it was just lust and that he was sex-starved and that the opportunity just popped up, then one thing led to another. He began to love her though. Something that he expected to just last a day, or actually a night, turned into something longer, he'd never expected that this would've occurred, especially with Sakura of all people, the one he'd call 'annoying'.

Sasuke stared at the diary for endless minutes all the while feeling it, the smooth embroidered name of his beloved, and smelling the scent that he longed to lick off his property, that's what he'd call her occasionally, much to her protest. However, this was no longer possible. She was gone, well this isn't a matter that she can return to therefore; she is gone.

To tell the truth he was rather curious to what information, thoughts and secrets lay within the hard covered book. He slowly opened the Diary and read the first page.

Dear Diary,

Today I found out that I'm in Sasuke-kun's team! I'm so happy and excited about that! He's so amazing…and so cute and so sexy. I mean, all the girls think he is the most attractive guy who's ever walked. And they're right, but it's me who's going to date him. Me, who's going to be his first love, ME; HARUNO SAKURA! No…UCHIHA SAKURA! Oh and that damn annoying Naruto is in my team too…Noooo!

"Sexy?" whispered Sasuke out loud. He figured that this he pretty much already knew, so he kept flicking the pages, searching for something that might reveal why she'd chosen to end her life so suddenly. He kept turning the pages endlessly searching for a glimpse of her deepest secrets. Why had she done this, she seemed so smart, so happy.

"Dammit Sakura, why would you do this to me..." shouted Sasuke as he threw the diary and bashed his fists against the long grass. He couldn't help but let a single, small tear run down his left cheek. He heard his voice echo through the trees surrounding him. The blue sky disappeared and was replaced by a grey milieu; dark clouds began to form as a little pitta-patta started against the marble grave of Sakura's.

He glanced around, regretting throwing the diary and saw it, open upon the ground, he walked over and picked it up. He peered closely at he words and the page, it was entitled: The day I saw Sasuke-kun again after years…
