This is my first Naruto story and it takes place after Sasuke leaves.

Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto are now 17 years old. Pairings are SasukexSakura, NarutoxHinata, InoxShikamaru, and NejixTenTen.


Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. ( Though I wish I did sometimes. That'd be awesome beyond belief. )


"Sakura…help…me…,"said a pain stricken Sasuke, laying in his own pool of blood, kunai and shuriken sticking out of his body.

"Sasuke….no…don't die…please…," begged Sakura. She ran over to him and held him in her arms. " Please don't die…," she cried, " Please…" Then everything vanished. She looked down and Sasuke was gone. She was all alone again. He left her…all alone. Sakura woke up panting, beads of sweat rolling down her forehead. It was just a dream Sakura….don't worry…he's still alive and he'll come back….I know he will. "I wonder what time it is…" Sakura mumbled as she looked at her alarm clock, "12:03am...great…"She stood up and decided to take a shower.

- twenty minutes later.

She stepped out of the shower and walked over to her white dresser. She lived in a apartment all by herself. Her bedroom contained a small pale blue and white bed, a white dresser, windows with curtains covering them, and a small lamp next to her bed, while the kitchen was small with wooden cabinets and granite countertops, and a small white fridge. She chose blue and white because it reminded her so much of Sasuke. As she stood in front of the dresser, she looked at the picture of her, Sasuke, Naruto, and Kakashi four years ago. That was so long ago…I miss those days…She thought about what happened over the past few years as she picked out some clothes. She was one of the prettiest girls in Konoha, and to top it off, she was now an experienced Anbu and one of the best medics the village has ever seen. She wore a dark jean skirt and a white v-neck blouse with small sakura flower petals at the bottom. She then grabbed her bag and walked out the door. A walk would be nice at this time…She headed towards the bench where he left her, and slowly and cautiously, as if the bench itself would disappear, sat down. She stared into the distance and sighed. Just then, she sensed another's chakra, somewhat familiar to her, but she couldn't figure out who it belonged to. She slowly stood up and headed towards the gates. She spotted a limp body laying on the ground soaked in blood. She ran over to the person and gasped as she saw his face. It's him… "You're back…" She quickly picked him up and carried him to her apartment. She placed him carefully down on her bed and placed seals on the windows and doors before she left to go tell the hokage what had happened. "Tsunada-san…Sasuke's back…"


Ok, that was the first chapter. The second one is coming up soon. I've already started typing it. I just need more ideas for the rest of the story. Well. R&R. Please, no flames unless you think it is absolutely required. Okies?

Much love :)
