Disclaimer: -clears throat- Like I've said on ever other fanfic of mine. I do not own Naruto –smiles- and if I did…. Ooh the things I would change (not that I don't like it as it is).

Well here it is: My third Fanfic!!

If you have read Heart's Choice you will know the legend. It is the same legend but this story is different: Sakura fins out another way and Sasuke still hadn't come back.

Attention: I do own Luuke, Tsumy, Toto along with Team Ryuu so don't you dare steal or copy them!!

Chapter 1: Memories or past events?

Sasuke looked at the girl in front of him. She was even more beautiful then he had imagined. He looked in to her eyes. They used to be full of love and now they were just as cold as his.

He pulled back from the stare as he saw the guy next to her now standing at her side and whispering something in her ear.

The young Uchiha felt his blood boiling. He didn't like how close that guy was to her.

"We must leave now... he is coming and you are still low on chakra." The dark blue haired guy whispered in her ear.

"Aa. Go ahead with Tsumy. You need to get her to a safe place. Take Toto with you, he won't be of much help to me either." Sakura answered.

Just as the guy was about to argue with her she added: "I'm counting on you, Luuke."

Luuke sighed and nodded in response. "If you want it that way then fine. I'll be waiting and if you take more than five hours to get there I will come back for you."

Sakura smirked. "Go Luuke"

Luuke signaled Toto to pick Tsumi up and leave, he followed right behind still wondering if he had done the right thing leaving her with team Hebi.

Sasuke saw as the guy left with the rest of Sakura's new team: Team Ryuu. [A/N: Ryuu as in dragon

She was still standing there without showing any signs of following them.

"Sakura, it's been years. Have you put a new team together just to find me and make me got back to Konoha?" He was confused at seen her with three complete strangers to him.

"Hmpf... Don't worry Sasuke. I have more important things to take care right now. Those three are missing-nins just like me and you." She faked a smile.

Missing nin? Sasuke just saw that she wasn't wearing her forehead protector. "You abandoned your home village? For what?"

"Too much questions Uchiha." She said as she turned around. "Why hasn't he come with you?" Sakura stared at a tree branch.

Sasuke looked up to see his brother's partner, Kisame.

"Itachi had a little problem. He ran into the kyuubi." Kisame chuckled. "Seems like the jinchuuriki is more important that you."

"You know... your lucky I'm in the mood for only ten today and I have already done that hours ago... But that won't keep me from whipping that fucking grin from your face, fish boy." Sakura said without showing any emoting.

"Why you little dyke!" Kisame yelled while jumping down and trying to attack her.

Before Sasuke could move to help her someone appeared in between her and Kisame. Sasuke noticed that Sakura didn't ever try to move, instead she just stood there smirking.

"What have I told you about disrespecting her?" Itachi whispered as he held Kisame back with his sharingan.

"What took you so long?" Kisame asked his partner as he back away.

"I thought you said he was with Naruto?" Sakura smiled at Kisame. "Now now... Don't you know it's rude to lie?"

"I am so going to rip you into pieces little brat!!" Kisame yelled angry.

Sasuke just stood there. He didn't now if he attacked his brother or continued to watch them. His option was to watch. The younger Uchiha wanted to know what was happening between Sakura and Itachi. A strange feeling hit him... was it jealousy?

"I was trying to track Toto and the others but it seems like that Luuke bastard covered their track too well." Itachi responded.

"What did you aspect? Luuke is one of the strongest shinobis alive. I thought you already knew that... Itachi" Sakura provoked.

In a blink of an eye Itachi was in front of Sakura and only a few inches away from her. Sasuke wanted to beat him up just for looking at her.

"Leave Itachi, please... Or else I will be forced to kill you and Fish boy over there and ruin all the fun for little Sasuke." Sakura said calmly.

"Fine." Itachi glared at his brother. "But it's not over yet kunoichi. I am only leaving because I'm not stupid enough to get in a fight with you in the condition I am right now... I will come back for you.." Itachi said as he and Kisame disappeared.

Team Hebi had there mouths opened, except for Sasuke who was going to fallow the older Uchiha.

Sasuke was starting to walk after Itachi when he saw Sakura fall to her knees. He was about to pick her up when the dark blue haired guy showed up.

Luuke glared at Sasuke and picked Sakura up bridal style.

"I told you to take Tsumy and Toto to a safe place..." She mumbled.

"And I did but I had a feeling this would happen so I came back." Luuke replied.

Sasuke was about to ask for an explanation but Luuke disappeared carrying Sakura.

Sasuke stood there for a minute.

"What was that slut doing here?" Karin demanded to know.

"Shut up Karin!!" Juugo yelled.

Suigetsu just stayed quietly leaning on a tree.

"Set up camp here." Sasuke ordered ignoring Karin's questions and comments.

Sasuke left them setting up camp at sat down by the river. He remembered the old days with team 7 in Konoha and out on missions. He remembered how Sakura was always trying to impress or please him, but now she didn't even look at him. She didn't answer his questions. Sakura… What the hell happened to you? The strong shinobi wondered.
Luuke carried Sakura inside their hideout.

"Thank you Luuke. I'm much better now. I just need some rest." Sakura thanked him with a small smile.

"Is it side affects?" Toto asked.

"I don't know Toto" She replied as she saw Tsumy sleeping peacefully.

"You stayed back there because of that Sasuke guy, right??" Luuke asked.

"Yeah… sorry if I was a little stubborn… I was just didn't want anything bad happening to him…" Sakura said softly.

"You still care for him… Sakura, you can pretend you are a cooled hearted assassin all you want but we know you are still that loving and caring young kunoichi we met." Toto said.

"Yeah Sak… Even though you suffered a lot you still are that sweet girl we met two years ago." Tsumy said waking up. [A/N: Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto are 19 now

Luuke smiled. "We should all get some sleep now... We have a busy day tomorrow.."

They all nodded and laid down.

Sakura couldn't sleep… Flashes of memories with Sasuke and her old friends passed in her mind. Sasuke… I don't know if I should consider these memories after all that happened… maybe I should call them passed events... afater all... nothing will ever be the same again...

Sasuke broke from his thoughts with Karin speaking.

"Don't tell me you thinking about that whore…" She said.

"The only whore I know is you." Sasuke responded coldly.

"Ooh come on Sasuke-kun. The girl is traveling with two super hot guys!" Karin spoke with a super annoying voice. [A/N: Thats possible, right? Karin with a annoying voice even though she is annoying with or without any voice

"And you are traveling with three guys. Does that make you a super whore? No..no… that makes you queen of all the whores." He said getting up and leaving one pissed off Karin behind.

Back in Konoha the recent selected sixth Hokage prepared for bed as he took one last look at the picture of his old teammates. "Sasuke… Sakura.. Please be alright!!"
