Hi! I'm Kunoichi Blossom. I'm new here and this is my first story. I'm sorry if this chapter is too short for your likings and maybe even a bit boring, but I have a good reason! I didn't want to give too many details on the plot in just the first chapter.

Enjoy!

Full Summary: Sasuke has always been cold to Sakura, but one day he goes way too far. Sakura then decides that she's had it with Sasuke and leaves the village in search of a new path. Then about 2 years pass.

Sakura still hasn't returned. Before she left, she promised she would come back, but Sasuke knew that was a lie. She never intended to come back. He didn't know it back then, even though she didn't show it, her heart was slowly breaking. Every time he ignored her, rejected her, and insulted her.

It was all because of him. He was the cause of all her pain. Suddenly he felt a sudden feeling within him. It was coming from his heart. 'What is this feeling?' Sasuke thought as he frowned, 'I'm not supposed to feel like this..'

Chapter 1

-

It was just the usual morning meeting.

They always met there on the red bridge.

Sakura came first. Then Sasuke. Then Naruto.

Kakashi, as usual, came late.

"Good morning Sasuke-kun!" Sakura greeted. She waited in anticipation for him to reply.

He never did. Instead he ignored her and leaned against one of the bridge posts.

She sighed. 'He's always so cold to me.' Her thoughts were soon interrupted by a certain loud-mouthed shinobi.

"Good morning Sakura-chan!" Naruto shouted.

"Naruto-" she started, but before she could finish, Sasuke spoke.

"Dobe. Keep it down will you?"

"Hey Sasuke bastard! Why don't we just settle this once and for all? Right here? Right now? What do you say?" Naruto challenged him.

"Sure." Sasuke smirked.

"You guys! Please not today!" Sakura interrupted. Yes. This was the usual morning meeting- at least for Team 7.

"Stay out of this Sakura!" Naruto ordered.

"But-" she tried again.

"Come on." Sasuke said while stepping forward.

Meanwhile in the near treetops, Kakashi was silently watching the scene from afar. He chuckled. 'I guess I should reveal my presence and stop their childish games before things get ugly.'

Just before they made contact, Kakashi appeared between them. Both Naruto and Sasuke stopped their attacks. "Yo." Kakashi greeted.

"Kakashi-sensei! You're late! Again! What's you're the reason this time!" Sakura fumed while pointing an accusing finger at him.

"Yeah! Explain!" Naruto shouted at his sensei, backing Sakura up.

"I, uh, got lost on the road of life." he answered.

"Liar!" Both Sakura and Naruto shouted. Kakashi sweat dropped.

"So do we have any missions today?" Sakura asked.

"Only one. It's low-ranked." Kakashi answered.

"Man! Another one! Why do we always get stuck with these lame missions!" Naruto fussed.

'Yay! I'll have more time to spend with Sasuke-kun!' Sakura cheered inwardly while smiling on the outside. Inner Sakura: 'Hell yeah!'

Naruto muttered curses under his breathe.

Sasuke said nothing.

"Okay. Here are the details. It's a C-ranked mission. We are to escort a wealthy business man to his company. There is a possible danger of thieves." Kakashi said.

'I might have to fight!' Sakura panicked inside. Inner Sakura: 'Crap!'

"YES!" Naruto shouted happily and pumped his fist into the air.

Sasuke smirked.

"That's all. Now let's go. We'll meet our charge at the Hokage's office." Kakashi ordered.

"ALL RIGHT!" Naruto cheered while running towards the Hokage's office like a mad man.

Sakura absent-mindedly followed him. She was too lost in her own thoughts.

'What's up with her?' Sasuke wondered, 'Before she was all happy and excited. Now she seems all sad and nervous.'

"Sasuke?" Kakashi asked.

"Hn?"

"I need to speak with you." Kakashi said, seriousness lingering in his voice.

"About what?" Sasuke slightly arched one of his eye brows.

"Sakura."

"What about her?"

"I want you to leave her alone. Stop protecting her all the time. I want you to give her a chance." Kakashi said.

"Hn. Whatever." Sasuke replied half-heartedly. He began to walk off again, but was suddenly pulled back.

"I'm serious Sasuke." Kakashi said calmly, but firmly, gripping tightly onto one of his shoulders.

"Okay. I will." Sasuke replied slightly annoyed, shrugging Kakashi's hand away from his shoulder grudgingly.

"That's better." Kakashi said cheerfully, smiling behind his mask.

"I hate you." Sasuke said.

"Oh. I'm sorry. Did you say something?" Kakashi asked in a sing-song voice.

He sighed. "Nothing..." he said giving up. 'Stupid sensei.' he thought sullenly.

"HEY! SASUKE BASTARD! COME ON! YOU'RE REALLY SLOW YOU KNOW THAT! PICK UP THE PACE!" Naruto shouted. He was already at the Hokage's office.

"IDIOT! Sasuke-kun is not slow!" Sakura shouted, bonking Naruto hard on the head. She was there with him.

"OWW! Sakura-chan!" Naruto complained while rubbing the sore spot, attempting to ease the pain.

'At least she still has that temper of hers.' Sasuke thought.

"Hmph. Serves you right!" Sakura said hotly.

Sasuke made some quick hand seals and appeared right outside the Hokage's office where Naruto was. "Hn. Whatever. Kakashi-sensei wanted to speak with me." Sasuke said.

"About what?" Naruto asked.

"It's none of your business." Sasuke replied.

"Bastard."

"Dobe."

"Bastard!"

"Dobe!"

"Bas-" Naruto started but was cut off.

"Come on you guys! Let's go! Kakashi-sensei is already in there!" Sakura shouted. She hated when they fought.

"Oh yeah." Both Sasuke and Naruto said at the same time. Sakura opened the door of the Hokage's office and went inside with both boys following her.

Kakashi welcomed them. "Meet our charge." Kakashi said signaling to a young man.

"Hi. I'm Yukio. And you are?"

"I'm Naruto!"

"Sasuke."

"And I'm Sakura. It's a pleasure to meet you." Sakura introduced herself while holding out her hand for a friendly handshake.

Yukio took her hand in his, but did not shake it. Instead he brought it to his lips and kissed it lightly.

"The pleasure is all mine Sakura." Yukio said smoothly.

Sakura blushed like crazy. She was so shocked by his actions.

She wasn't the only one though.

At the time, Kakashi was a bit preoccupied. By preoccupied, I mean he was busy reading his perverted book. So he hadn't witnessed the "incident."

Naruto was also busy at the time. He had been annoying the Hokage. So he too hadn't seen the "incident."

Sasuke wasn't preoccupied or busy at the time. Meaning he had seen everything.

'What did he just do!' Sasuke thought angrily in his mind. 'Wait! Why do I care?' Sasuke was trying very hard to keep his composure. Sakura noticed this.

"Uhmm... Sasuke-kun? Are you... okay?"

"Hn."

"I guess I'll take that as a yes then."

Kakashi suddenly stopped reading his precious book. "Okay. Let's go." he ordered.

"ALL RIGHT!" Naruto shouted happily. He ran towards the door, opened it up, and went bursting out of the room. He was running towards the entrance gates of Konoha at an unnecessarily high speed.

"Would you like to walk with me Sakura?" Yukio asked while holding out his hand.

"Oh. Uhmm... okay." Sakura accepted.

'What the!' Sasuke thought angrily. 'Wait! I'm not supposed to care, but then why do I feel like this?'

I hope you enjoyed it! Please review! I want to know your opinion! You know since I'm new here. Please no flames! I will say again, I'm new here!
