The story starts of right where Sasuke attempts to leave the village and sakura confronts him

Sasuke had made his decision. Deep down, he cared for his village, but in the end, his heart choose revenge instead. Sasuke decided to take the long way out of the village, as it

was probably going to be the last time he was in it for a while, and he wanted to remember as much about as he could. Sasuke's whole life was fill with darkness and pain, it was

the reason he had to break his bonds with his home village and take one step into the darkness, it is the only way for him to gain the power to finally defeat him, Itachi. Sasuke

clenched his fist in hatred at near mere thought of his brother. "I will kill you Itachi, and there nothing you can do to stop me" he muttered. Sasuke continued his walk, his eyes

lost in thought, that he did not notice when he walked by a certain pink haired Kunoichi. He walked silently by her, nothing even turning around to face her. The sound of his

footsteps heard through out the silence. Tears fell down Sakura face, as she clenched her heart in pain.

"Why?" she whispered, barely audible, however this snapped Sasuke out of his thoughts. Sasuke stopped walking, his hands in his pockets, allowing Sakura words to take him.

"Why wont you say anything to me?" she asked, sadly

"Why do shut everyone out?"

"Why wont you tell me anything?"

"Why do I have to tell you anything?!?!" He snapped at her, anger clearly visible in his voice.

"You meddle far to much for your own good Sakura" he continued with out mercy, hoping that if by acting rash, it would in the long run, lessen the blow on the poor girl's heart.

"Just stop bothering me" At these words, Sakura felt her heart crack in half. She turned away from him, and looked to the ground in despair.

"You always act like you hate me, Sasuke-kun" she said, her tearing falling on the ground. Sasuke ignored this, and continued walking away.

"I know what happened to your clan" she said suddenly stopping Sasuke in his tracks.

"No one……. neither you………nor me should have to go through something like that.

"I know that" Sasuke said. Sakura looked on at surprise at Sasuke, her emerald green eyes shining in the moonlight.

"but I am different than you guys. I follow a I different path than you guys. The four of us together………It true that I at one point wanted it, I considered staying

but…….despite the four of us being together, my heart as chosen revenge. Sasuke looked up to the sky,

"I live for that purpose." He finished proudly, causing Sakura to smile weakly at him. She now knew that he was not leaving out of hate, but out of necessity for his life long goal.

"Your going to be lonely by yourself if you do that!!! You taught me that being alone is painful, I know that pain know. I have friends and family that care for me but….if you leave……….its the same as being alone" she sobbed.

Sasuke tried his best to ignore the last comment, but even he had to admit, it unnerved him.

"From this point on, new paths will form" Sakura gasped and took one step forward, knowing now was the last time to tell him.

"I love you more than anything!!" she yelled "If you are at my side, I will make sure you do not regret it, I will make each day more enjoyable and you will be happy. I would do

anything for you, that why I beg of you!! Please stay here!!! I will even help you with your revenge." At this, Sasuke raised an eyebrow, slightly intereted in what she had to say.

"There must be something I can do to help you, that why, please stay here! If that not possible……..please take me with you!!" she sniffed, allowing what she asked of Sasuke

to sink in, hoping he would give in to her. Sasuke stood there in deep thought with his back to her. He finally made up his mind and turned to face her

"Very well," he said simply. Sakura looked shock, not able to believe her luck. Sasuke turned around and began to walk away. Sakura raised her hands to her face to wipe the

river of tears and ran after Sasuke who was already way ahead of her.

………………………………………………………………….

Sakura followed Sasuke out of the village to a huge hill that over looked the village. Sasuke kept his hands in his pockets, Sakura walking timidly behind him, still not being able

to believe she was abandoning her village.

"We've been waiting Sasuke-Sama" Sasuke stopped abruptly, causing Sakura to almost walk into him.

"What are you plotting now?" he asked the five sound ninja. Each of them were on their knees facing Sasuke and Sakura.

"When you left the village, is decided, you would become our leader, please forgive our rudeness earlier." Each of them bowed their heads to him. Sasuke looked on, and to

Sakura surprise, he chuckled.

"I don't give a crap about that" he walked past them, allowing them to finally notice Sakura presence. The female sound ninja became annoyed.

"Why is she here?" she asked annoyed at the Uchiha. Sasuke did not face her, and gazed at the moon.

"She is coming with me" he said, ending the matter. Sakura, if it was even possible, was even more surprised, Sasuke had never, in her whole life, stood up for her. It was

something that it would take a while to get use to.

"It begins" Sasuke muttered, their seven shadows casting out in the moon light.
