YAY! MY FIRST CHAPTER!!!

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto… Masashi Kishimoto does bursts into tears

It's been 6 years since Sasuke left. To Sakura, it seemed as if everyone was starting to forget about him. Sakura, now 18, was in emotional agony but always tried her hardest not to show it.

Sakura's POV

Sakura looked at herself in the mirror. Look at yourself Sakura, you're getting duller by the minute… She had to meet up with Naruto for a surprise mission. She left out the door and found him.

"Hi Sakura-chan!!!"

"Hi Naruto."

"What's our mission?"

"I don't know. Kakashi-sensei hasn't told me. When will he get here?"

"You know him, he's always late…"

Finally Kakashi got there.

Sakura: "Hi Kakashi-sensei. What's our mission???"

"Well, it's not really a mission…"

Sakura glared at him. "Then what is it…"

"Just follow me."

Sakura and Naruto followed Kakashi to the hokage's office. They walked into the room to see Sasuke in chains.

"TSUNADE-BAA-CHAN!!!!! WHEN DID HE GET HERE!?!?!?!?!?!?!"

Sakura just stared at Sasuke. Is that really him? She wanted to burst into tears, hug him, and tell her how much she missed him. She didn't though. She didn't want to be the same useless Sakura she was when she was younger. She didn't want to become attached, rely on him as like she used to do. Sasuke started to stare at her back.

"Is that… is that really you?"

Of course, Sasuke decided to answer with a smartass remark. "Who else do you think it is."

"ITS BEEN SO LONG TEME!!!!!!!"

"Naruto, don't call me that baka."

Tsunade: "So we finally found you… What happened with Orochimaru?"

"He's dead." Everyone looked at Sasuke in shock.

Tsunade: "YOU KILLED HIM???"

"Yea, I figured out he was trying to make me one of his containers. Once I had enough power, I killed him."

"So why'd you come back?"

"I wanted to."

Sakura was even in more shock. She never thought she would she him again, and even if he did, she never thought she'd hear him say that. Her eyes filled up with tears. She decide to speak up.

"Sasuke…kun…"

He looked at her.

No, I'm not going to be the same Sakura I was before…

"I…hate…you…"

Of course that was a complete lie. She did it so she wouldn't have memories of the past.

"I'm sorry…"

She ran out the door.

Sasuke's POV

"I…hate…you…"

When she said that, it hurt so much. But why? I don't have feelings for her. She's just the pink-haired kunoichi I used to know. But what has happened to her? What am I saying, I act like I have concern for her…

Sasuke watched her run away. He kept getting questioned by Tsunade.

"I have a deal for you. You said you wanted to come back. You said you killed Orochimaru. I'll let you live as long as you don't betray the village again. If you dare try to leave without my permission again, I will have the strongest ANBU run after you and kill you. Understood?"

"Hn…"

"You may be released."

"Finally…"

Naruto: "I'm glad you came back teme. Now team 7 is back! You wanna go for some ramen?"

"Uh, sure."

Sakura's POV

Kusoa, why'd I say that for? Well, it doesn't matter, he wouldn't care…

Sakura had realized how Sasuke was only obsessed with getting power, and he could never make room for anyone else. She would do anything to help him, but she thought she would just get in the way. Sigh. She walked home. It was night now. I'm goin to bed.
