Chapter 1: Back
The dark underground lair, the wailing of human prisoners roamed free, the constant dripping of water the candles that burned on the side were the only source of light. Footprints echoing in the lair, as a shinobi dashed out of the lair and into the sunlight.
The rain clouds hovered over Konoha that evening, as a familiar pink haired kunochi gazed out of her window. "Any day now" she kept telling herself. "Sasuke will come back" Sakura always stared out at the Konoha Gates at the very same spot that Sasuke had left her that cold and winding night.
A mission group had been sent out every once in a while to check the surroundings of the Uchiha. This time it was his best friend's group. Uzumaki Naruto, The Kyuubi boy was with the Hyuuga Prodigy. They were close to Orochimaru's lair. The Hyuuga had a sight on the incoming shinobi from before. "Someone's coming" Neji advised the Jounin team.
"Where?" The Kyuubi container asked as he adverted his cerulean blue eyes from to each direction trying to take a glimpse of the arriving shinobi.
"Any moment" His Byakuan switched on. A moment of silence ran in between.
Sasuke dashed forward his sharingan activated the moment he left the lair, his katana by his side. As he spotted his best friend and rival near the woods. He snuck behind them, giving a small smirk as he was met face to face with his best friend, the Kyuubi container. "What do we have here" Sasuke spoke. Neji stood up again as he spoke in a dull monotone voice.
"Sasuke" Naruto's Anger continued as he glared at his once best friend. Sasuke adverted his dark obsidian orbs towards his Kyuubi friend.
"Naruto….It's been a long time" Neji stayed silent as he watched the two young shinobi.
"Sasuke" Naruto clenched his fist as his best friend spoke. He unleashed the amount of energy towards his best friend making him fall on impact. Another small smirk came from the Uchiha as he stood back up again.
"What are you doing here in the middle of the forest?" Sasuke asked his friend.
"We came for you" Naruto stated. "People in Konoha need you especially……Sakura" That name rang in the Uchiha's mind as he remembered all the wretched memories that filled his mind, trying to hide it he stared coldly at his friend, and answered him back without hesitation.
"My place is here" Sasuke stated. "I don't need Konoha, I don't need Sakura, I don't need anyone! All I need is revenge" Sasuke continued. His stomach churned of guilt as he stated all what he thought lies. Neji stared at him in anger.
"You idiot Uchiha" Neji informed the Uchiha of his idiotic statements. Sasuke glared at both of the Konoha shinobi as he pulled out his katana. The Grey Clouds started to roll in as Sasuke eyed both of them. He directed the Katana towards his best friend first.
"I don't need anyone………" He stated in his monotone voice. Naruto took out his kunai as he prepared for the attack that the Uchiha was about to launch, Sasuke found an opening as he slashed his best friend across the arm and leaving him with a scar that marked his defeat. "Pathetic" Sasuke stated as he left without a word. Naruto could hear his friend walking away from him again as he closed his eyes.
"Naruto?" A voice called out to the Kyuubi container. "Naruto?" Slowly the Kyuubi opened his eyes seeing his arms wrapped in bandages. He adverted his cerulean colored eyes at the girl that spoke to him. "Thank god you're awake"
"Sakura…." Naruto called out to her. The rosette hair kunochi sat on a wooden stool that was provided by the staff of the Konoha hospital as she waited for her Kyuubi friend to wake up. "Where am I?"
"Back where you started" She answered hastily fixing the flowers on the edge of his bed side.
"Which is?" Naruto backed up. Sakura looked at him in surprise, as she went closer to him, close enough to him that she could hear his breathing movements and his blush that was appearing by the second.
"The Hospital" she stated blankly, sitting herself down again.
"What happened?" Naruto asked again, he was full of questions that needed answering.
"You failed" Again with the Short answer from the kunochi. As she stood up again opening the curtains and letting the light rays come in.
"Failed?" Naruto questioned himself. Again the Kunochi stared at him and sat herself down once again.
"You Failed your mission to get Sasuke back" She tried telling him.
"Again?" He repeated. "Again?" Naruto tried getting up instead the pain took control of him.
"You should lie down" Sakura insisted. "Just rest….you need it" She advised him as she made her way out of the room, giving a small smile then closing the door.
"Damn" The Kyuubi container had to say as he stared at the white hospital ceiling above. "That promise…..I won't go back on my word" he told himself.
Sakura that evening was walking down the streets of Konoha thinking about the recent mission that Naruto had been on. A Hyuuga spotted her from the corner of his eye. Turning and walking towards her. "Sakura" he spoke in a dark monotone way.
"Hai" Sakura responded.
"I need to talk to you it's about the latest mission that me and Naruto were assigned too" Neji spoke back turning his back on her again. "Follow me back to the Hyuuga's place" he continued as he led the way. Sakura followed him wondering what he was on about.
The peaceful birds sang as Sakura entered the Hyuuga grounds she could hear the Hyuuga's water feature inhabited by birds. "Come sit" Neji indicated as he led the pink haired kunochi over to a seat. Sakura sat herself down. Hinata came in with the tea. "Ohayo Sakura" Hinata greeted Sakura as she sat herself down beside Neji and Sakura.
"Ohayo Hinata"
"Where's Hanabi? And Your Dad?" Neji asked the Hyuuga heiress. She Shy Hyuuga spoke up.
"Hanabi-san is still sleeping while Otou-san is out"
"I see" Neji responded, as he faced Sakura again. "You might know that we have tracked down Sasuke" Neji stated. Hinata stayed silent as she watched Sakura's reaction. A small nod came from the Haruno.
"That's good…." Sakura adverted her emerald eyes over to Hinata. "Ne Hinata you've been awfully quiet shouldn't you go see Naruto he needs you" A tiny blush came from the girl as she made her way to the hospital leaving her cousin and her friend talk about the latest mission. "So where do you think he'll be?" Sakura asked again. Neji faced her again this time, trying to answer her needed question.
"I'm not sure myself since when he attacked Naruto he went after me, but I heard him mutter something about going to the Sand Country and the Rock Country"
"So he's going to the border?"
"I'm thinking that he's going to the middle of the Wind and Earth Country"
"So just north from here right?" Sakura asked dying to know where Sasuke would be.
"Possibly" Neji stated. "I can't guarantee it though" Neji continued on. Sakura stood up as she made her way to the exit of the Hyuuga home.
"Thanks Neji…" She spoke to him over her should as she then made her way over to the grounds.
"Thanks Hinata for visiting me" Naruto stated as he watched the shy Hyuuga girl blush madly.
"I was worried that's all…." Hinata tried not to stutter which she didn't.
"If only I was strong enough I would be able to bring Sasuke back" Hinata sat and watched him, as she hovered her hand over his.
"A-And Y-You can……J-Just believe in yourself….." Hinata stated as she gave a small smile.
"You're right" Naruto suggested as he kissed Hinata on the cheek. "Thanks for the support" Hinata was now blushing madly as ever her face turning into the shades of red.
That evening all of Konoha received a huge amount of rain as the villagers hid in their houses watching the rain drops fall pass. Sakura was at home, in her room staring at the Team 7 group photo that stood near her beside. "Sasuke" she spoke as she stared at the dark raven hair shinobi in the pic. Soon an idea came to mind as she stared at the empty knapsack that lied near her bed. "Might sound crazy…but…." Sakura stood up as she made her way over to the bag picking it up and looking it at. Then adverting her emerald orbs over to the window that showed the rain pouring into Konoha. "Maybe…..just maybe"
Sasuke had already reached the border of the Kaze country and the Earth Country. He was more focused on his goal, his katana on his back as he walked the rocky forest floors, glaring at nearly everything in sight.
