Hello readers! This is my first story that will have chapters so lots of reviews if you want to see what happens next. So please R&R. ;P

Cherry blossoms swayed in the light breeze, the sun filtered by the petals cast beautiful pink shadows, nothing could relax Uchiha Sasuke after training more then this. Lying beneath a cherry blossom tree he fell asleep for who knows how long, but suddenly he woke with a start. He was drenched in sweat, his breathing quick, on his face was fear, a terrible dream had showed up again.

"Sasuke?"

He looked up to see Hurano Sakura walking towards him with a look of concern.

Why? He thought, why does she always shows up when I have that dream.

"Are you okay?" she asked as she knelt down next to him.

"Its nothing, why are you here?" he asked pissed off.

"Well, I was wondering if you would like to go out with me this Saturday." Hoped shined in her eyes as she looked at him.

"No, you're so pathetic, you should be working on your jutsus" Sakura got up looking hurt and walked away.

Damn! He thought, why is it I can't get her out of my head, why do I have to watch her walk away every time I reject her. And again he stared to hate. Hate the way her hair looked so shiny. Hate wondering if her skin was as smooth and soft as it looked. Hating how he wished her skirt was way shorter. Hating the stupid fantasies about her that popped up in his head whenever he saw her. Hate the fact that he loved her. He looked up at the cherry blossoms thinking about the dream he just had.

"Sasuke!" Uzimaki Naruto was running towards him looking scared and close to tears.

"What-!"

"Hurry! It's horrible! Grand-ma Tsunade, she-" but unable to speak any further Naruto just motioned Sasuke to follow him.

Of they went into the village. Naruto was close to breaking point, Sasuke lost for words at what could have effected his best friend like that.

They came to a halt outside of Ichiraku's the owner was hammering a sign on while being watched by the 5th Hokage, lady Tsunade. Naruto dropped at her feet and succumbed to tears.

"Please don't do this!" he wailed, "I'll do anything! Just don't ban me!"

The owner gave Naruto a sad look before moving away from the sign, it read:

By order of the 5th Hokage no person is to sell, hand over or give a taste of ramen to Uzimaki Naruto. Anyone who breaks this order will be fined.

Lady Tsunade was now trying to kick Naruto off her, Sasuke was trying not to hit him for making a bit deal out of this . Naruto, now lying on the floor, was still crying his eyes out.

"Get a grip Naruto, you need to know you can survive with out it!" Tsunade yelled.

Suddenly Shizune, Sakura, Ino, TenTen and Hinata appeared.

"Naruto!" Hinata exclaimed.

"He'll survive," she said with out a care, "I have a mission that requires a team of Kuniochi, Shizune has the details, you'll leave tomorrow at midday I want you right now to tell your squad that while you're away for the next three weeks they won't get any missions. Understood?"

"Right" they said in Unison then they all left but Sakura, She was trying not to catch Sasuke's eye as she tried to calm Naruto.

"First no ramen sniff then no missions sniff now I won't see Hinata for three weeks!" and he began to wimper into a fidel position.

"Come on Naruto, I'll buy you shave ice before I leave plus Hinata would like to spend time with you before she leaves" she managed to get Naruto up but swayed under his weight. Sasuke stepped forward and grabbed Naruto's other arm together they made their way down the street.

Sometime that evening a party was held at the Hyuga estate. Everyone was having a great time either on the dance floor or on one of the cushions that lay about. Everyone that is except Saasuke, he was a little worried about Sakura who was now drinking her 6th glass of wine.

"Hey Sasuke!"

Naruto was coming, leaning on Hinata, completly drunk.

"Why aren't you enjoying yourself, this is amazing hic and the drinks are great! hic"

"How much did you drink?! Did you replace ramen with alcohol?!"

Naruto was about to say something but burped, swayed then brought him and Hinata to the floor. Saasuke caught Hinata before she hit the ground, Naruto was lying on the ground snoring loudly.

"Pathetic" he said as he moved Naruto to one of the cushions.

"Sasuke!"

Sakura came walking towards him, swaying on each step completely drunk, followed by Ino.

"Where have you been? I wanted to dance with you so much! Come dance! Come dance!" She began to sway and fell on the floor laughing.

"Is everyone here drunk?" Sasuke asked.

"Seems that way." Ino responded "Can you take Sakura home? I would but in her state the only ones she'll listen to is you and Naruto and since the idiot is passed out that leaves you."

Mentally promising to kill Naruto later he picked Sakura up bridal style and took her out the door.

"Where are you taking me Sasuke?" Sakura asked seductively as she wound her arms around his neck.

"Home" he said. 'Why did she have to wear such a skimpy outfit!?'

Sakura was wearing a mini jean skirt and a green halter top. Her skin was milky smooth against his hands. Sasuke was now finding it hard to keep his breathing normal.

"You feel so warm" she said as she snuggled closer into his chest.

'Shit!' He ran as fast as he could now. Finally reaching her house she put her down and was about to make a run for it when he felt a tug on the back of his shirt.

"Sasuke, can you please come in for a bit?"

Sasuke was about to say no when he turned around and realised Sakura was silently crying, holding on desperately to his shirt. Silently he took the keys to her house, opened the door and lead a sad Sakura inside.

"Uhhg"

A blinding fading pink light came out and shined on him.

'Did I fall asleep under the tree again?'

Sasuke noticed it was unusually comfortable and he had no clothes on. The pink light was actually coming through thin pink curtains. He sat up and realised that he was in someone's room, and not just anybody's but Sakura's room. Next to him on the bed was Sakura, fast asleep with no clothes. In a panic he scrambled out of the bed, he found his clothes all over the floor, in a hurry he dressed and ran out the door.

' What the hell happen to me?!' Sasuke racked his brain to remember what happened after he went inside her house.

'We sat on the couch, she brought orange juice and poured me a cup. Think! Think! . . . Wait did she drink any? No, she just sat there looking at me as if she was waiting for something, kept giving me more juice. Did she drug me!?'

Sasuke finally stopped in one of the training grounds. He knelt over and began to beat up the ground. He was mad beyond belief, he didn't want to be that close to her, no matter how much he loved her. Deserved better then him, and what made him mad most was the regret he felt wasn't for what he did when he black out but he had blacked out during that time.

'Why did she do that?' He asked himself as he got up. The sun told him it was nearly midday, he was going to get an explanation from her. He set off home to change hoping nobody came to visit so to avoid questions.

Everyone was there to see the team off since this was the first time a team that was sent out has ever been made of only koniochi. Naruto was crying silently in Hinata's arms again, Neii was giving Tenten advice, and Ino was reminding Chouji about his diet. Sakura was talking about a few things about their journey with Shizune when Sasuke came.

"Sakura"

"Sasuke! Ino told me you were the one that brought me home, I don't remember what happened last night. I hope I wasn't a burden."

The look of innocense on her face, and concern of being a burden for even a second told Sasuke that she in fact had no memories either of what happened or of what she had done.

"Don't worry, just remember to give your all as a medical ninja and to come back safe."

"I will" she gave a huge warm smile over what he said that Sasuke couldn't help returning it.

A 5 month and 3 days later

"WE HAVE TO GO LOOKING FOR THEM!"

Naruto's shout could have been heard all over the village.

"Calm down Naruto!"

But Lady Tsunade could not be heard, Naruto continued to panic over the absent of the girls. Sasuke, Kiba, Shino, Shikamaru, Chouji, Neji, and Lee were all dragged to the Hokage's office by Naruto that morning. Admittedly they were worry as well for their female team mates but none were worry as much as Naruto.

"WHAT TWISTED MISSION DID YOU GIVE THEM!?" BIONK!

"Idiot"

"Thanks, I needed that."

Sasuke had just hit Naruto on the head, now with some of his senses Naruto stood rubbing his head.

"So what was the mission that you gave them?" asked Lee.

"Their mission was to protect a princess till she was moved to a safer location, their was an attempt for kidnap before, so they asked for women so they can disguise as Ladies in waiting."

"But a mission like that shouldn't take this long," wondered Shikamaru.

A knock came from the door and in came a chunin.

"Sorry to interrupt but I have the information you asked for."

"Lets have it"

As the chunin left lady Tsunade's face went serious with what she read.

" According to the princess's guards the team left exactly after three weeks, when the princess was determined safe."

"They should be back by now!" Kiba yelled.

"The problem doesn't just end there, during the time the team was with her there was another attempt and they were able to determine the enemy."

She looked to Sasuke, everyone turned to him as well, Sasuke already knew the name.

"Uchiha Itachi"

His mind then went to his dream:

A cliff side, blood everywhere, him cornered against the cliff watching. A flash of pink mixed with red flies, more blood is spilled. On the ground Sakura was slowly dying, her face towards him, eyes with tears and a longing. Her killer walks towards Sasuke the kunai in his hand dripping in her blood.

'Foolish little brother, I'll take anything you hold dear'

The kunai then plunges into his heart.
