The villagers looked in astanishment as she walked down the streets of Konoha keeping her head held high
and giving her best to keep the memories away for this entire time,
walking to the hospital the nurses greeted her as they did every morning "good morning Mr.s Haruno"
"good Morning" replied Sakura, more the many years that passed she still kept herself cheerfull and happy as best she could
even though every mission to bring him home was a failure, she still kept her hopes held high.
That morning Sakura awoke from a dream she had been having for the longest time
(the storm was hitting hard as Sakura, Naruto, Neji, Ten Ten and Gara parted from the wood into a near by cave,
they have been given a mission to assit Gara back to the Sand Village after the meating of all the Villages leaders at Konoha,
they were trying to bring new peace to the world and exit from all the feuds that grew between them all, Gara had been getting lectured by Tsunade about leaving
the village alone and the Danger he could be in being the Kaze-Kage of Sand, but he kept refusing her offers so she insited him and with a glare straight to him he had to accept or the lacture would never end, as they left Konoha Sakura stared up to the skies as usual day dreaming about him, as she seen the clouds grow dark and the Skies begin to scream from the thunder and lightning she just new a storm was coming, little did they expect it to hit as hard as it did, in the selter of a cave they brew a fire to get dry from the pouring rain that had struck miles befor the cave, Gara sat to the back of the cave with his head to the wall and his eyes close just wondering how long this would last, Naruto wined as usual about when he could get home to have some ramen as Neji comforted Ten Ten who was freightened by the storm and Sakura just stood at the mouth of the cave keeping watch as everyone drifted to sleep, not to long after everyone doze off she herself slid down the wall to the ground and slowly drifted off into her dreams, that was untill she heard it, as scream of the name so fermillier to her and replayed everyday for years past, "SASUKE, HEY SASUKE WHERE ARE YOU", she jolted up from her sleep and stared out as the rain got harder and the lightning struck, she had to check it out, as she peered back to make sure everyone was asleep she ran off, to her surprise she was right, further from the cave there was the team she could remember that Sasuke took controll over after the death of Arochimaru, were they looking for her beloved, was he lost or hurt, thats all she could think about so she began running through the woods, suddenly as she bolted to a dead spot, sure enough, there he was, "Sa-Sasuke" she whispered to herself, she couldn't bear it, there he was, perfectly fine and she was so close but so scared to move closer, "you can come down from the trees, even you should knwo im not that stupid to not sence you" he said still sitting on the ground staring to the ground, so she did as she was told as she hit the ground he began to stand but fell to one knee as she ran to his side she could smell the blood lingering and she could feel his Chakara growing weak "Sasuke your hurt, let me treat you", "what can you do Sakura, you were always so clumbsy youll probobly kill me quicker, especially aft-" he never even finished as she smacked him with feury and pushed him to his back and placed her hands over his wound, as her own Chakara poured into his body he could start feeling his energy returning quickly and the touch of her hands were still as warm as they were when they were kids, as he turned to face her and see what a woman she had grown into he couldn't emagin the beauty, all he ever use to do was ignore this girl, no woman, and never thaught anything of her, to think that the little cry baby he used to be team mates with could become so beautiful and strong, he could sence the power she had and in his mind, she well desirved it, she was a great ninja he could tell, after finishing healing his wound he tried sitting up as she grabed him and slowed his pace down "take it easy, if you strain yourself, well, trust me that wont be a good thing with a wound like that" she said with a giggle to her tone, how sudistick her voice had become also he thaught, at this point he was trying to figure why again he left, he new it was all because of Itachi but now that he see's her and hears her voice, he never had him on his mind for once, when he finally got to his feet he felt terrifick as he looked at Sakura with her back to him and head down, he could tell with the shutter of her shoulders she was crying, Sakura felt a pair of hands on her shoulders and Sasuke turned her around to face him, "are you really still this much of a cry baby" he said, antagonising her, with a smack to his face he slide his hand to his cheek as she began to cry even harder and sream aloud "SASUKE UCHIHA YOU DON'T EVEN REALIZE THE PAIN IM FEELING RIGHT NOW, SO MANY TIME I HAVE TRIED TO FIND YOU AND BRING YOU HOME AFTER THAT NIGHT YOU LEFT ME, LEFT ME THERE ALL ALONE, AND NOW THAT I CAN BE SO CLOSE TO YOU, AND THAT I WAS HERE TO HELP YOU LIKE I'VE ALWAYS ONLY DREMT OF DOING, IT'S JUST...it's just." her tone lowerd as she couldn't finish her sentence befor more tears were running down her face then she wanted, his hand was to her cheek rubbing away the tears, "give it up you child" he said " your stronger then befor, i can tell, you have no reason to cry, especially over me, yes right to this point, i regret leaving the village... and you behind me, but i just. you know i half to complete this goal" she looked up at him and with an instand was gripping him in her arms crying to his shoulder "take me with you then"she cried, as his arms were around her his could only say "you know i can't do that, i would be putting your life in danger if i did so, and that i could not bare, and besides your friends need you, they depend on your strength they need you more then i do", "but i need you more then they need me" she replied "im sorry Sakura but i can't" with that she could only back away from his with her head to the ground, tears still falling as she truend and ran off as fast as she could, just befor he could reach out and ask her to wait, she was gone and with that he turned around getting ready to find his team when he heard it, Sakura's scream and the slamming of lightning, but it wasn't the normal lighting that was happening but it was lighting forced by chakara, he turned again and ran into her direction only to find her body lyeing to the ground and blood seeping around, he noticed nothing accept for smoke forming around her body as he ran to her he could see a lightning village ninja above her picking her up "DROP HER!" he screams as the ninja turned to him "drop her, or you will die" with that the nija tosed her lifeless body towards him as he caught her and looked up to see the ninja, he was gone, he looked back to Sakura and spoke to her "please Sakura wake up, don't go and die on me, please, don't die befor i complete my goal and then am able to go for my last one which is to return back to he" he whispered into her ear as few tears fell down his cheeks, but no responce, as she gently place his lips to hers her could still feel her warmth and then, what he new to expect her eyes opend slowly and then returned to being closed and she push forward and returned his kiss after that she passed out but he knew she was fine, he felt around for Narutos chakara because he knew he wouldn't leave her go on a mission alone, the last thing Sakura could remember besides that and dream about was waking up in the cave at the mouth as if it was all a dream, in a dream)
Sakura woke up and sat at the side of her bed to receive as message from Hinata that Tsunade requested them at the hospital right away the boys had gotten back from another mission all beat and cut up, and with that she got ready put her face on and left. "HEY SAKURA-CHAN! did you pick me up any ramen on your way here" as she looked at the blond headed goof with his wife Hinata treating him she walked over and placed a bag next to him, "sure did, i didn't need to hear to wine that i never got you anything when i got in" she said as her and Hinata giggled while Naruto looked affended even though he wasn't. "Ne Sakura do you think to could check my leg, it's really aching me"said the dog boy Kiba who had also gone on the mission and was the most injured, so she did what she had and walked over and treated her patient, after the day was done and everyone left the hospital in tip top condition they had see a messenger bird flying there way, as it landed gracefully to Sakuras forearm she pulled the note and said to go rest as the bird flew off, the note read for everyone to head to the Hokages office that it was urgent, and so they did, as the door opend Tsnuade looked to see walking in was Sakura, Hinata, Neji, Naruto, Shikamaru, Kiba, Ten Ten and Lee, as Tsunade explained why she sent to them there faces were in shock, especially Sakura, oparantly Sasuke was spotted near Sand, which was what Gara stated in a note to Tsunade and referd for them all to be sent to Sand and stay for a few days to see if he is spotted again since he was spoted near there quite often, so that maby this time they could bring him home, Sasuke, Naruto and Gara were quite alike he said and he didn't wish to see and new dear friends get hurt again, but he proclaimed that he to be with when they find him because if Sasuke was to go and hurt his one true precious friend and his cheer blossom who showed him how to feel again, he would kill him himself because he knew Naruto would not be able to encourage himself to destroy the life of his best-friend, and with that, they were off to pack there bags and get ready to embark on there mission.
