I don't own Naruto, but I do own this story. If I did own it, sasusaku would have happened by now.

Summary: Sakura Haruno knows that she would do anything to get Sasuke back. One day she finds out that Sasuke was actually being controlled by Madara Uchiha. Then Sakura makes a deal and takes his place for him. What happens when Sasuke finds out about her sacrifice? Sasusaku all the way!

Chapter One:

Searching for Him…

"C'mon Naruto, we're almost at he hideout!" a pink haired kunoichi yelled out to her knucklehead teammate.

"Don't worry Sakura, we'll get him back no matter what," Naruto exclaimed as their other quiet, non sociable teammate Sai remained silent.

Team 7 was finally able to go on the mission they've been waiting years for. They have to bring their former friend, Sasuke Uchiha back to Konoha. It all began on the night when he broke Sakura's heart and walked away without looking back. He may have tried, but Sasuke did not completely break his bond with his friend whether or not he wanted to.

"I'm still surprised that Tsunade-sama gave us this mission," the female ninja thought.

Flashback

Team 7 waited at the Hokage's office wondering about what she called summoned them for. Tsunade did not speak for what seemed like an eternity until she finally said," Your mission is to go to the Akatsuki base and bring a person to this village immediately."

"Who's this person we're supposed to bring back Tsunade-sama?" Sakura asked with a confused face. Tsunade's face made her worried because she it looked like she didn't even want to give them the mission.

"Sasuke... Uchiha…" she slowly responded.

Naruto and Sakura's were shocked. Naruto slammed his hands on the desk and yelled," Sasuke-teme's at the Akatsuki base?! Why?"

"I have been informed that he has joined forces with someone within the Akatsuki," Tsunade replied.

"B-But who can it be? It can't be Itachi and Orochimaru has been reported dead months ago!" Sakura cried out.

"I'm not sure, but I have a feeling whoever that person is wants to attack Konoha, so you must take the Uchiha and bring him back for questioning." Tsunade said.

"Hai!" Team replied and left to get ready for the mission.

End of Flashback

When they finally reached the Akatsuki base Deidara and Sasori came out and attacked them.

"Ah! We can't be wasting our time fighting these guys. We have to go get Sasuke before he leaves again." Naruto complained.

Sai thought fast and commanded his teammates," Sakura! Naruto! Go ahead and find the Uchiha. I'll take care of these guys."

"But what about you Sai?!" Sakura heart fully yelled out.

"Don't worry about me. Just go!" he exclaimed. His teammates knew that it was pointless to disagree so they ran of ahead.

Deidara laughed and smirk," You're real cocky kid! You actually think that you can handle both of us? Pathetic."

"Well see about that!" Sai said before heading into battle.

Naruto and Sakura were breathing heavily as they ran down each hallway. To them, this base was almost as complicated as Orochimaru's hideout. Luckily they didn't really care. All they cared about was getting Sasuke back. They were about to head deeper into the hideout until the hallway divided into two.

"Naruto, let's split up. I'll take the left hallway and you take the right." The pink haired kunoichi suggested.

"Alright Sakura-chan. Let's go,' Naruto quickly agreed.

Before Sakura went into the left hallway, Naruto called her name. She turned around to see what he had wanted.

Naruto smiled and said,' good luck Sakura-chan."

Sakura smiled back and said,' Right back at you Naruto."

After that, they went their separate ways. Sakura ran full of confidence. She had been preparing for this day for a long time. She trained with Tsunade and became both a medic ninja and a skilled jounin. She knew that she wasn't going to come back to the village empty handed.

Before Sakura knew it, she entered a dark, eerie feeling room. She hastily walked through the room just in case there were any traps. (A/N: This is weird because she was running like crazy just a second ago.)

She took this moment to take a breather and then pulled something out of her ninja pouch. It was Sasuke's old headband. His headband reminded her to never give up looking for her old love. She wasn't exactly sure if she still had that silly fan girl crush or if it actually turned into something real.

Sakura whispered to herself," Where are you Sasuke…Kun?"

"Right behind you" a deep voice said from behind her.

Sakura gasped and turned around to see the person she had been looking for all this time…her old teammate Sasuke looking at her with a katana raised in a fighting stance.

That's it for now. Don't worry, I'll upload soon. Trust me the next two chapters are going to be friggin awesome so keep reading.
