This is my first Naruto fanfic and I am very excited about it. After reading so many of them I decided to start my own. This is a Gaara and Sakura story, one of my favorite couples. I haven't decided on very many of the others yet but definitely Naruto and Hinata because I cannot place those two with anyone else. It is just wrong to me. So on with the story.

I do not own Naruto.

Heart break

A seventeen year old Sakura stood there begging him not to go. "You just came back. You can't leave me again. I need to become stronger. I need you to help me."

"Go talk to Tsunade. She can help you more than I can. She already has been," the boy replied with his back to her.

"Sasuke, please don't leave. Don't do this to Naruto and me again. We're a team. I thought you had finally figured that out." Sakura stood there with tears running down her cheeks.

"I'm leaving and you can't stop me," Sasuke replied.

"I will go tell everyone. I can't let you let you leave again. Last time things got hectic and you almost killed Naruto several times. I won't let that happen to him again Sasuke."

"What are you going to do if I do leave, Sakura? You can't stop me. I don't belong here."

"You do too. You just don't want to. You are scared Sasuke and I don't know why. You hide everything from us. You avoid Naruto, you won't even reply to Sai, you say little to Kakashi Sensei, and you won't even look at me. Why are you so scared?" Sakura asked.

Sasuke turned to her with his emotionless eyes, the ones that she saw when she found him with Orochimaru years ago. "I am not scared Sakura."

Sakura knew he was leaving and she wouldn't be able to stop him. "If you leave Sasuke, don't come back. Whatever started between us that has you running will be over if you leave. You will become a missing nin and I won't even try to save you. I won't go through this again and I won't let Naruto either."

A little bit of pain flashed through his eyes before he had control of his emotions. He smirked at her. "Really, Sakura, you think you won't try and save me. You'll let me die? You will let go of everything that has started between us. You will just cut it off like it's a rope binding you to me. You'll forget the sight of me?" He walked closer and his face was just inches away. "You'll forget my smell?" He reached his hand up to her cheek. "You'll forget my touch?" He leaned closer to her ear and whispered, "Will you forget my voice?" He leaned back and looked at her. "Will you forget my taste to Sakura?" He leaned down and kissed her. "You will never forget me Sakura and you will never love another because everything about me is etched into your mind and you heart. I'll always be there tormenting you." He gave her and evil grin and grabbed her neck. That was the last thing Sakura saw before her world went black.

Sasuke left her in the park at night on the same bench he has left her all those years ago.

PWP: okay short chapter but I think it works for the beginning of this story.

Sakura: I don't like it. I love Sasuke-kun. I don't want him to leave.

PWP: Don't worry Sakura you'll find your love soon.

Sakura: Yeah. Sasuke comes back?

PWP: Wait and find out. Muahahaha. Please let me know what you think and if there are any corrections that need to be made. I purposely left out details of clothes and background because I wanted to focus on the conversation. Please review and tell me what you think. Thanks.
