Prologue

The building was pack. People all around were talking waiting for the ceremony to begin.

The groom is talking animatedly to his stoic, pearled eyed best man. Said best man stood there calmly listening to everything his best friend had to say, the smallest hint of a smile on his face showed that he was happy for his friend.

All of the guests that were there couldn't help but have smile on their faces, the groom just wouldn't allow it; at least not on his wedding day.

Meanwhile, the bride to be was currently adding the last touches to her hair while listening to her maid of honor yelling at her saying that she was going to be late.

"Honestly, you are getting your sensi's bad habits. Your hair is perfect! Now will you just gather up your dress and head over to the church."

The bride simply rolled her eyes at her friend.

"Quite being such a worry wart. I still have plenty of time. Now why don't you be a good maid of honor and you head over to the church to make sure my husband to be isn't messing anything up. And take my dress while you're at it."

"Fine, fine. Just don't take to long. You know that man of yours will get worried if his bride isn't there on time and get on everyone's nerves until you show up," the blonde hair girl told her friend as she left.

After a while the bride added a few more touches, looked at her reflection, was extremely satisfied at her work and headed out.

As she walked towards the church, she made a slight detour towards a bridge her team used to meet up every morning, and still do, since their genin days.

But she paused when she someone already standing there looking across the water. Slowly she approached the figure and noticed that he had a pack on his back and silently stood beside him.

After a few silent moments, the figure was the first to speak.

"Why are you here?"

The bride shrugged her shoulders and said, "Just a little remembering. You?"

"Same."

They stayed silent for another few moments.

Again the figure was first to speak.

"Don't you have somewhere to be," he stated more then asked.

"Yes and you do to. Or did you have other plans," the bride asked as she turned towards him with a smile still gracing her face.

"Hn."

The smile instantly vanished.

"You can't leave. Not again."

The figure turned his back on her and started walking away.

All she could do was watch. Her mind telling her to yell at him to stop. For her to do anything.

"Wait!" she yelled hoping that he would stop and to her surprise he did.

"Please, just stay. At least until the ceremony is over. He would want you there and so do I."

The figures shoulders slumped and gave her answer, "Sakura…I'm sorry but I can't. I won't ruin this day for you or Naruto. I'm not very liked at the moment."

"And you think we care whether others like you or not? You are our friend and our teammate no matter what. You have every right to be there. WE want you there Sasuke!"

Sasuke simply shook his head.

"Tell him I'm sorry, that I still have a goal to accomplish. And that I will not go back to the snake," Sasuke told her and started walking away again.

Sakura watched her friend/teammate walk away from her once again. Her mind going into overdrive and only coming up with one conclusion, one that will crush another.

She ran up to him, not caring that her beautifully made hair was coming all undone and stopped right in front of him.

"Sakura get out of my way."

"Not this time Sasuke. Not this time."

"Sakura…" Sasuke began but got interrupted.

"No you listen and you listen good Uchiha. Last time you knocked me out so I wouldn't follow you. But this time, this time you won't knock me as easily as you did and you know it. You are not leaving… not without me!"

Sasuke could only stare at his pinked hair teammate with wide eyes.

'No. I can't let her. I won't let her,' was what Sasuke thought.

"What about Naruto? You can't just leave him. He'll be hurt and I won't take the blame. He is my closest friend."

Sakura looked down and tears rolled down her face.

"You think I don't know that! He may be your closest friend, but he is the man that I love! This isn't an easy decision for me but I can't let you leave by yourself again. Please, Sasuke, you don't have to do this alone. Let me come with you and help out any way that I can! That way we can come back home to Naurto faster!"

Sasuke looked at Sakura and slowly lifted her chin up so that he can look her right in the eye.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Yes."

They stared at each other and Sasuke realized that she was serious.

Knowing that they both would regret their actions in the future, and gave her his answer.

"All right."

'Please Naruto, forgive us,' both Sasuke and Sakura thought at the same time as they looked towards where the church was.

With that they took off back in the direction of her house.

She quickly packed her gear, changed her clothes and wrote a note. Sasuke did nothing to help.

Once she was done, they went on their way.

Sakura spotted a young boy and paid him to deliver the note to the church and for him to give it to either a bright blonde hair blue eyed man dress in a tux or a blonde hair lady that was wearing a purple dress in an hour.

After that was done, Sakura and Sasuke made their way to the gates henged into an old couple.

The guards let them pass without any questions asked.
