Okay, so basically this is my first fanfic. I do apologize in advance for any grammar or spelling mistakes.
Reviews would be lovely and so would creative criticism.
I have enabled anonymous reviews, but don't take it out of proportion.
Love Jas, :)
Summary: War breaks you, not mentally but physically. It destroys your soul and your hope. It clouds your judgment and leaves you wondering why you re still here. But remember every tragedy is always a blessing in disguise and when you fall you can fly to.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto in anyway, even though I wish I did.
I don't understand anything anymore. I question myself everyday. Why them? Why my friends? Why my family? Why them and not me? It's like I'm being sucked into a world of darkness, it's like my very own sadness is eating me away from the inside out. Waking up is a difficult task now, and so are everyday tasks that should be easy. But I still wear the smile, I've always worn. The one that hides away all the hurt and pain, the one that cons people into believing I'm truly happy.
Pulling myself out of the darkness I finally decide to force myself out of bed. Standing up I stumble, my head spins. Grabbing onto my bed frame, I steady myself and check the time.
12:34, shit! We're late, Tsunade wanted us there at 12! Her inner screamed. Rolling her eyes and ignoring the screams she walks towards her closet and changes into proper attire. A thin black boob tube shirt that showed her midriff, a short white skirt with slits up the sides and a pair of apple green bottoms on underneath. Her waist length fairy floss colored hair flowed beautifully.
She walked over to her full length mirror and looked at herself. Her eyes were not the beautiful bright green they used to be, they'd sunken down to a darker tone of green. They looked dull and lifeless.
She looked down onto her dresser and sighed. The photo of team 7, Kakashi smiling softly with his hands on Naruto's and Sasuke's heads. Naruto glaring at Sasuke, Sasuke looking like he'd rather be somewhere else. Then me, smiling. Happy.
She put the photo face down on the dresser, walked out of her door and vowed to herself that when she got home next she was trowing that damned picture out for sure.
Walking through the bustling streets of Konoha, it smelt of cherry blossom trees and honey. Summer was finally here.
"Tsunade sama, I'm here!"
"YOU'RE LATE SAKURA" She bellowed.
Sakura rubbed her head, "Well on the way here i ran into a black ca-"
"You're starting to sound more like Kakashi each and everyday" Tsunade interrupted knowing her exact excuse, Sakura smiled sheepishly and Tsunade couldn't help but smile back. "He'd be so proud of you, you know that Sakura?" She went quite and looked down, taking deep breaths, blocking her thoughts from entering her brain.
"So why did you order me here, Tsunade sama? A mission? A present? Or maybe even a holiday to th-" "Pipe down child! It's none of those things" Tsunade groaned.
"Then what is it then?" Sakura cocked her head.
"I honestly don't know how you'll react to this. I don't know weather you'll be over joyed or go on a rampage and destroy half the forest out of anger again. All I know is that It's going to turn your world upside down tremendously."
"What is it?" She asked with a horrible feeling weighing down her chest. It couldn't be about Naruto and Kakashi would it? She's not going to tell her their dead is she? Sakura's inner screamed. She closed her eyes and blocked her inner out for the umpteenth time that day.
Tsunade sensed her worry and sighed. "Don't worry, it isn't about Naruto and Kakashi, their fine." Sakura breathed a long breath on relief. "But it does have something to do with you all, I suggest you take a seat Sakura." She cocked her head again and dragged a chair to the front of Tsunade's desk like she had ordered.
Tsunade sighed again, "Sasuke, Sasuke Uchiha returned to the village late last night. Not by force but on his free wi-"
Sakura slammed both her fists down onto Tsunades desk, splitting it perfectly in half down the middle. She stood up with tears burning her eyes and turned to leave. "Sakura wait!" Tsunade called, Sakura stopped. "Sakura, as much as I don't like the boy, I honestly thought you'd be happy about this. All the years of chasing him is over, he's home which is exactly what you and Naruto wanted!" Sakura just looked at her, gave her a half hearted smile and walked out the door, down the corridors and out the door where she ran, and ran, and ran, and ran.
She stopped and collapsed under a large cherry blossom tree sitting right next to a river. She curled into a ball at the root of the tree and cried. Why now Sasuke? Why not years before? Why not before you went blood thirsty crazy?
Sakura didn't know how long she'd fallen asleep for, but she assumed for a while since it was night time.
She sat up and untangled her long messy hair, pulling out all the twigs and leaves that got stuck in there. She stood up and patted the dust of herself and headed to her house.
She stopped suddenly she looked at to the night sky, closed one eye and put her thumb up to the moon. Covering it completely and smiled.
"Just remember Saki-Chan that no matter where we are and no matter how far away from each we are, we're always under the same sky, we see the same stars and moon. So everything you look up there, just remember this." She remembered Naruto saying to her before he left for his training, that was almost two years ago. I don't know where you are Naruto but I really hope you're okay. She thought to herself.
She'd finally made it home and as soon as she walked in the front door she realized how tiring the crying and running was, even with her nap. She walked straight into her room and collapsed on her bed, sleeping in her clothes and her shoes.
Tsunade held her head in her hands. "It's okay boys, you can let him go. He won't bother to hurt me." She said shooting her death stare at him.
"Hai Tsunade-Sama" The 4 men said, letting go of Sasuke and leaving the room.
Tsunade stood up and walked over to Sasuke. "Listen here kid" She said whilst angrily prodding his chest "I honestly don't like you, not one bit. I saw the damage you did to Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi. I watched you destroy our village," Sasuke's head dropped down as she mentioned the village. "I watched as my friends and comrades died in front of me. So why the fuck would you think I would let you back in this village Uchiha?" She seethed.
He shrugged and looked at to her, his eyes were no longer filled with hatred and revenge, they were full of guilt and remorse.
"I don't really know myself to be honest." He mumbled shoving his hands in his pockets.
"Why Sasuke? What brings you back here? How do I know you're not just going to leave again tonight? How do I know you're not planning to destroy the entire fucking village again? You're a missing nin Sasuke, wanted for so many horrendous crimes. Not only that but so many people are after you, they want to kill you Sasuke!" She yelled.
"Hn." Tsunade shot him another death stare. "I don't know what brings me here. I don't have anything anymore. I killed my brother out of hatred and revenge and then I finally found out the true story that it wasn't Itachi, it was Konoha. Yes I attacked and destroyed everything. I'm not going to leave again Tsunade, I wouldn't be here if I was planning to leave again." He said bluntly.
Tsunade sighed. "I hope you do know and understand that you will be prosecuted for your offenses," He nodded "For now you will be under house arrest watched over by ANBU members until I can get your trial going. And lastly, Danzo Shimura passed away 7 months ago. Whilst on his death bed, he told me everything about what happened with your clan, and that he had planned it. I understand where you're coming from Sasuke"
He nodded, "You can leave now, there are two ANBU waiting out the front to walk you to your house, good luck Sasuke."
He nodded again and turned to walk out. "Oh and Sasuke!" He span back around "Just watch out for Sakura, okay?"
"Hai" He said and left before she could say anything else.
His house was small and boring and Sasuke was slowly becoming restless. He wanted to go for a walk but knew that no ANBU would let him out of the house under any circumstances. He sighed, and walked over to the window, rested his palms on the seal and lent outside to feel the breeze. What am I even doing here? Why did my feet drag me back to this dreaded place? He asked himself.
He lent further out the window and could see no ANBU in sight. Might aswell try and get out for abit. He thought.
As quite as a mouse Sasuke was out of his window and into the shadows of the trees casted on the footpath by the moon. He stood dead still, half expecting to be tackled but several large guys, but nothing.
Sasuke finally eased himself up and took slow steps, he didn't know where he was walking to but he didn't seem to care.
After about 30 minutes of walking Sasuke had just turned a corner down a narrow street full of bright fluorescent street lamps when he heard a door creek open, someone walk out and shut the door behind them.
Shit, he thought.
He stood dead still and ducked behind a bin. I can't believe I'm hiding behind a god damn bin. And the wind blew a sweet feminine smell past him. It's defiantly not ANBU, that's for sure. He stepped out of his hiding spot took one step forward and stopped dead in his tracks. A girl stood in front of him, and Sasuke couldn't believe his eyes.
She was beautiful, her eyes shining with the light of the moon and her fit body covered in tan skin with the shadow of leaves dancing along her. Sasuke looked at her once more and continued to walk. One, two, three, four steps later he realized her pink hair.
Sasuke stared at her in shock, and she started back in the same manor.
"Sakura?" He whispered.
Well, what'd you think? I'm not to sure about the start but I have a good
plot line planned so hopefully that makes up for it! :)
And I will try and update daily if possible. I am in high school and I do play sports
so I'd have to juggle homework, school, games and training around with this
fanfic, but I will try my hardest to post everyday!
Love you all! mwah.
