A/N: Sup guys! Morllyber here!

Okay, so I got a rude comment on this story a little while ago about how I shouldn't continue with this story because I'm not getting any views. Well, I checked it this afternoon after school and I've got an alert! That's good enough for me!

And even if I didn't get any views - which I REALLY hope doesn't happen - I'm gonna continue it anyway. 'Cause I like writing it and I'm having a great time imagining this actually happening! So if you're going to review, please make it a nice comment, some constructive criticism or just don't bother, seriously.

Well, that's just about all I have to say here. Sorry some of the chapters are so short, sorry for the long-ish waits between chapters, etc.

DISCLAIMER (Which counts for all chapters) : I DO NOT own ANY of the ORIGINAL Naruto characters or contents. I DO claim ownership of Kaze, Maria, Skye, Faith and Hope, some of which are still to come.

Well, this is Morllyber signing out! Peace out, dudes! ;)

"Sasuke! Sasuke!" A girl with billowing red hair ran up to the boy walking out of the village. He turned.

"Why are you here?" he asked quietly.

"To stop you, dammit!" the girl replied. "Why are you leaving?"

"I need to become stronger, Kaze." Sasuke said. "Then he will pay."

"Enough! Enough with Itachi! It's been seven years, isn't that enough?"

"No!" Sasuke grabbed hold of Kaze's shoulders and shook her violently. "I know that you want to kill him too. Think of your mother!"

"I know." Kaze's head dropped.

"You owe me." Sasuke then whispered. Kaze's head shot up. Sasuke pulled her into a tight embrace and whispered in her ear. "You owe me, and this is what I'm asking of you. Come with me. Kill Itachi with me."

Kaze shook her head and shoved Sasuke away. "No! I would never abandon my village for something as silly as revenge. It's reckless and stupid, Sasuke. Don't go."

Sasuke laughed. "And you think you can stop me?" he demanded.

"No." Kaze said, a tear rolling down her cheek. "No, but I still want you to stay. Please. For me."

"I don't owe you anything." Sasuke turned away.

"Sasuke, stop!" Kaze grabbed hold of his shoulder. "I'll stop you by force if I have to!"

"I'd like to see you TRY!" Sasuke turned around again and threw a handful of lightning straight through her stomach. Kaze froze and coughed up blood. Sasuke pushed her away and she dropped to the ground, blood seeping through the stones. The last thing Kaze saw was Sasuke mouthing, 'I'm sorry,' and disappearing into the night.

Her eyes closed.
