Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. But Masashi Kishimoto does.
This is my first fanfiction, so sorry if it is really crappy. I decided to do a SasoSaku because it is one of my most favorite pairings. Please review.
–Yuki Kaminari-
Shadows
Sakura's breath caught in her throat as she ran.
As she ran away from her past. From the memories. From the guilty, burning sensations etched in her being.
Her pink hair flew into her face, but she made no effort to brush it away. She didn't care anymore.
What had she done? Did she really betray Konoha? Did she really stoop down to the level of missing-nin?
Yes. She did. She had killed a group of innocent villagers. Although the Hokage was her Shishou, Tsunade, Sakura knew that she could never be forgiven. She would never be regarded with the same respect as before. They would all consider her a murderer. She would be forced to look into her friend's eyes and see pain, confusion, and mistrust.
Anbu would come after her…if they weren't out already. Her fate was decided. She was alone, with no friends, no possessions except for the clothes on her back, and no hope.
She sat down, against a nearby rock, continuing to let her salty tears drip down her face. So this is how it was meant to end for her. As a low-life, a friendless traitor.
What was the point of living if her life was to be this miserable? She looked up at the sky, her emerald eyes dull and tired. The stars seemed to glow brighter than before. They sure are beautiful. She mused, thinking of how unchanged certain things could remain. Like the stars. They were always to be a source of beauty, of grandeur, and of mystery. Life would continue on without her. The sun would continue to shine, and then set in the evening. Her friends would eventually forget…such was the human mind. And she would be but a distant memory to all.
She leaned back against the rock, drying the last of her tears. Faint voices could be heard in the distance. Her eyes scanned the area, but she was too tired to defend herself. The intruders were probably Anbu sent out to kill her. The girl let her eyes close again, and she patiently awaited her death.
A few minutes passed, and nothing happened. When she finally reopened her eyes, she found herself confronted by two men. Their cloaks looked darkly familiar. She scowled, looking up at their hidden faces.
"Akatsuki."
The first chapter is really short, but I will try to make the other ones longer. I hope you enjoyed it so far!!
Again, please review.
