Come Back To Me

Chapter One: Memories

• • • • •

"I know how you feel." The pink haired kunoichi had said with a teary voice. She was behind him, and he knew that she was at least 3 meters away. "Please don't leave. You can't just leave like this."

"You talk too much." He said slowly turning around while pulling a kunai form his pouch. With great speed he grabbed the kunai into her abdomen and twisted it. He could feel the dampness of blood on his knuckles that were exposed from the armor he wore under his long sleeved kimono-like shirt.

Her glowing emerald eyes were wide open and her mouth agape. Small trails of tears were still visible in the midnight darkness. Her shaky hands had found it's way up to where his hands still lingered, gripping the kunai. Her hands gripped his hands as she smiled; the corner of her pink lips had a trail of blood that was flowing down her chin.

Then she coughed, her crimson red blood splattered all over his white shirt, but in the darkness, all he could see was small specs of black. He slowly pulled his hand away and watched as she fell to the ground on her knees still looking up at him. But instead of a smile, it was replaced with a frown. She looked down to inspect her stab wound. She put her hand to the cut on her abdomen, feeling her blood on her red tank top.

Sasuke knew that she knew how to heal herself, but why wasn't she healing herself? He had kept track about Team 7's whereabouts. Not to mention every other ninja from before he left to join with Orochimaru. He had gotten the revenge he had wanted on Itachi. He had killed him and now was sure to have a bounty on him. But why had she gone all this way to bring him back? The one thing that Sasuke wanted to do was get his revenge on Konoha.

Sasuke turned around and slowly started to walk away from her. He didn't look back, but he heard wheezing, he knew she was going to die a slow painful death. Even though they had been in Team 7 together, he wanted to get revenge on all of them. He wanted them to suffer. It wasn't just about Itachi anymore. Tobi had called it child's play, but he always wanted Konoha to suffer.

"S-Sas…uke…" he heard her whimper. Her hoarse voice had cut through him. He didn't want to turn around. He couldn't turn around. All the memories of Team 7 came flooding back: the bells, the tree-climbing assignments, and competing with Naruto.

"Sakura," he simply stated, "Thank you."

She blinked for a quick second, wanting to reach out to him, but he was already too far away. He was slowly blending into the dark forest, which was surrounding her. She closed her eyes and quickly opened them again to find him gone. He had disappeared—again. She wasn't able to stop him from leaving. He was gone.

She sighed, it was getting harder and harder to breathe, why hadn't she already started to hear herself? She could tell that she was loosing a lot of blood and probably wasn't going to make it. She slowly laid on her right side, making soft grunting noises as she could feel the sharp pain where he had stabbed her.

Why didn't he kill me? She wondered as she slowly pulled off her left glove. Her hands started to emit green chakra and she lowered her hand onto her wound. She couldn't stop the internal bleeding or the open wound. All her chakra was gone just trying to search for Sasuke.

She blinked slowly, everything started to get blurry. She took a deep breath. This is it. She thought. She fell back onto her back, gasping for air, which barely came. She started to choke on her blood and tried coughing it up, but it didn't make any difference. Her eyes became heavy and she started to wheeze again. She smiled at the thought of her, Naruto, and Sasuke as one team again. She closed her eyes and decided to just stop trying and die peacefully.

Note: Omg. This was so hard to write, I really hope you guys like it. This is obviously in the past. This chapter is kinda skipping around through the Naruto and Naruto Shippuden series. I do admit: I tried to not cry while reading this chapter. I know that Sasuke might be a little bit mean in this chapter, but I was listening to this sappy song after playing Black Ops 2. And, well, yeah. Please write a review to let me know what you think or any grammar errors, or even ideas. There will be a second chapter. Hehe. Thank you for reading my story….and this. -_-
