This is my first Naruto fanfiction, so please be nice to me, minna-san! Oh, and tell me if this story is any good, 'cause I like to hear responses and suggestions from my readers, but please don't flame this story.

Chapter 1: Blind Thoughts
Sakura breathed in with great difficulty, wincing as the motion jarred her broken ribs. Crimson blood slowly trailed down her chin as she coughed, despair and panic filling her body.
Her usually vibrant pink hair was matted with blood and dirt, many of the long strands chopped and hacked. The clothes she had been wearing when she started this mission were barely clothes any more, hardly covering what it needed to. Her right arm had a long gash down it, the blood seeping into and around the ground she was laying prone on. Parts of her legs and arms burned agonizingly, the affects of the acid her attacker threw at her still remaining.
The area around her eyes had accumulated numerous injuries, also due to the affects of acid. Her green eyes were shut as tightly as she dared without further harming them, a long gash across her left eye bleeding sluggishly. She opened her mouth and let out a soft cry as she tried to move again, digging her fingers into the dirt helplessly.
A tear made a dirty track down her face as another bout of pain wracked her body, coughing up more blood that had filled her lungs. She let out a pained cry as a boot prodded her side without care. A hand reached down and gripped her pink tresses, pulling her head up harshly.
Sakura held in the scream that rose in her throat, clenching her teeth together in pain instead. She wouldn't give him the satisfaction of hearing her scream. The man gripping her hair laughed cruelly, trailing a hand down her bloody face.
" How does it feel to know that I've blinded you, Sakura? How does it feel to be completely helpless and not able to defend yourself? It seems that you're strength has finally failed you, unfortunately for you," the man whispered tauntingly, a cruel smile on his lips. Red eyes took in her broken body with satisfaction.
"How does it feel to know that the one you love has killed you?"
Sakura spat in his face, taking in another shuttering breathe. "You'll pay…Sasuke. Naruto and the others…will know you did this…and will…hunt you down." Sasuke laughed, gripping a bloody hitai-itai in his hand.
"Not if they think that I died with you, my dear little cherry blossom."
Sasuke threw the headband beside the dying kunoichi, laughing once again. "Your death is just what I need to escape without suspicion, so I thank you. You're going to help destroy the Leaf Village."
Sakura spat at him again, letting out a cry as Sasuke punched her in the gut and let her upper body fall back to the ground. She took in shallow breathes and cursed her traitorous team mate as he jumped into a tree and teleported away, blackness starting to creep over her thoughts. She gave out one last breathe as she fell unconscious, her last thoughts filled with hate towards the Uchiha clan.
Did you like it or hate it? Tell me honestly. Oh, and sorry for the cliff-hanger. But don't worry, Sakura doesn't die. She's the main character, after all!!!
Until the next chapter!
