[[Summary: Detective Haruno seeing her ex-lover after he murders Itachi. Oneshot SasuSaku ]] meh it's somewhat one-sided and angst but I posted it anyway (I hate one-sided pairing fics)
{Disclaimer: No I don't own Naruto. I don't own the fan art. I don't own much at all except the words that come out of my mouth (or I type anyway) thus those parts that are not mine are not mine and I don't claim them in any way. XD}
Gone
(A Naruto Oneshot) By Selena Anuri
The rain fell hard on New York like it meant to beat the life out of the very concrete of its foundation. Like a muffled roar it pounded against the pavement and asphalt, running in rivers down gutters and storm drains, sounding like a waterfall in the dark night. Sirens echoed off the hard glass and brick of the buildings and down the allies like a ghost. Inside the condemned skyscraper it sounded muffled. There a fight had taken place. One that had ripped through three floors and ended in a body falling fifteen stories to the land on the unforgiving pavement looking up at the rainy sky. Detective Haruno stood in the rain, not noticing the water running through her hair or down her face. All she could see was the doorway.
When he came out there was no need to speak. There were no words that could pass between them to make any of it right. He had chosen and now she had to face that choice. Dark haired and pale he came out beaten and bloody, handcuffed. Uchiha Sasuke didn't struggle as he was lead to the waiting car. He didn't try to fight the officer who had once been his college. He didn't even look up at the faces as they passed, openly staring. She stepped out in front of him not knowing why or what she thought that would accomplish. He didn't even notice till her hand stopped him, resting lightly on his chest. Finally he looked up and met her emerald eyes. Sakura searched the face of her ex-lover for something, anything. She wanted a sign. Something to assure her that he was still the man she had fallen for… the man she had once loved… still loved. But all she found in his eyes was a crimson darkness. There was nothing there to see. Not regret or remorse, pain or joy. Not even recognition. Not even anger. Sakura searched in those eyes for disappointment or sadness but it was as if she was looking into the eyes of a dead man. There was nothing. When he passed her, pushed on by the large cop behind him, Sakura was left to stare at the wet pavement feeling her heart breaking in two. The man she loved was dead. He died the moment he pulled the trigger. The moment he turned away from his friends. Sasuke Uchiha died in the same moment his brother fell from the fifteenth story and crashed to the ground. The man she loved was gone. She wondered if he was ever really there at all.
