Author's Note: Hi there! So this is my new story. I got the idea for it while I was just sitting in the car waiting for my mom to come out of the bank. Kind of a weird way to come up with it but yeah...Anyways, I hope you like it. It took me forever to write since the first time, I accidenlty deleated it. I pissed meself off so much, but here it is.
For their age in this fic, I think around 22 is good. Also Itachi is still alive!
By the way, Naruto does not belong to me (of course!)
Chapter One
To See You Again
Sakura stood in front of the Hokage's desk by herself, waiting for she didn't know what.
"Do you know why have you been called here?" Tsunade asked her, watching her apprentice carefully. .
"No."
After a moment of silence, the blonde woman told her. "Uchiha Sasuke's fate was decided today. He is to be executed since he is as too big a threat to Konoha."
Sakura clenched her hands into fists at her side but kept her face emotionless. So many emotions were rushing over her, that is was almost too much. "Is there anything else?" she asked Tsunade, wanting to get out of there as fast as possible.
"No," the Hokage answered, "You can be excused."
She nodded and left without another word. After she was out of the building she ran all the way home. Tsunade stood at the window next to her desk, watching her go.

Sakura sank deeper into the warm water of the bath that she was taking, trying to sort out all her thoughts that were running fast through her mind.
"Uchiha Sasuke's fate was decided today. He is to be executed since he is as too big a threat to Konoha."
Those two sentences kept repeating over and over in her mind, driving her crazy. No matter how much she tried to think of something else, it was still there, like someone was pressing a replay button.
Annoyed with herself, she held her breath and closed her eyes, immersing herself completely in the water.
She hadn't gone to see Sasuke once since he had been forcefully taken back to Konoha. It had taken over fifteen people, including Naruto, Sai, and Kakashi to bring him down and even then, it had been a stroke of luck. That had been a little over two months ago, and now it was decided he was going to be executed.
'You don't care at all,' she told herself. 'He betrayed you and everyone else that cared about him.'
She felt her lungs started to burn, and the want for air was strong, but she still stayed under.
'Why should I give a damn about someone like that?'
Finally, she couldn't help it. She came up, gasping for breath and sending water splashing over the sides of the tub, but she didn't care. Standing up, she stepped out of the tub reaching for a towel to dry off. She didn't even bother to drain the water before she walked out of the room to get changed.
She was going to go see him even though she knew that she shouldn't.
'Just one more time,' she thought. 'Just one last time.'

Sakura walked quickly across the bridge that had been lowered for her towards the prison. This wasn't new for her. She'd been there countless times; sometimes with Tsunade and other times by herself. There were always special cases when one of the prisoner's chakra needed to be drained on a regular basis since they were too dangerous with it. She knew Sasuke was one of those cases but it had been Tsunade and Shizune who had been taking care of it, not her.
"Sakura-san!" the guard exclaimed when he saw her, smiling. "What are you doing here?"
"Open the door please," she requested, not wanting to bother with pleasantries.
The guard looked uncertain but nodded and did as told. "But I don't think that-
"I'll only be a few minutes," Sakura cut him off, before walking in and pulling the door shut behind her. She knew he wouldn't stop her. She was the 5th's apprentice so he wouldn't even dare to try.
She walked down the steep stairs, trying not to trip because of how dim the lighting was. There were no windows down here, the only lighting coming from small torches placed along the wall about every ten feet. The place was also filthy with rats running everywhere and it was no wonder why the place stunk so much. Sakura had to try really hard no to gag.
This place was where they kept the most dangerous people and if there was one thing that Sakura knew, it was that Sasuke was exactly that.
'It's where he belongs,' Sakura thought, moving down the hall to look into each cell, trying to find his. One of prisoners whistled at her as she walked by causing her to shoot him a glare.
She found Sasuke in the last cell in the hall. He was standing in the middle of it, his back facing her and starring at the wall. She watched him for a few seconds before opening her mouth to speak but Sasuke beat her to it.
"And what do I owe this visit, Sakura?" she heard him ask, without him turning around.
The way he said her name was like it was the most disgusting thing in the world to him, but she told herself that she didn't care.
'You have no control over me anymore. Nothing that you say or do will affect me.'
"Hello Sasuke," she said.
There a little bit of a cliffie for ya. So is it good? Bad? I'm not sure if I should continue it so please tell me if I should! or not!
If I do continue, the next chapter will be longer. I was just in a bit of a rush today! Sorry!
