CHAPTER 1: Remember..

Seven years passed since Sasuke left the village and had the huge fight with Naruto, Naruto was already a anbu trained who was trained very well by Jiraiya and Sakura was also a anbu who was trained by Tsunade. Both Naruto and Sakura are 17 now, all mature. Naruto is not as annoying to Sakura anymore and Sakura has matured but her mind still seems to be clinging onto someone.Up on a high cliff, a girl with pink her was looking around the village of Konoha.The wind brissled through her pink hair, she looked at Konoha, memories flashing through her head. She shook her head slightly trying to get the memories out of her head.

"Sakura-chan! Tanjobi..ometteto!" said Naruto with a big smile. Sakura looked around seeing Naruto in his anbu armor.

"naruto..thanks" smiled Sakura.

"everyone is meeting at Shinyo Resteraunt, 7:30pm to celebrate your birthday! Everybody is going to be there... Shikamaru..Ino..Chouji..Neji..Hinata...Kakashi-sensei..Tsunade-obaa-chan.." started Naruto while counting with his fingers.

"Aw..thanks.I'll come there.." sakura's smile faded. "but..i doubt "he" will be there"

Naruto stopped counting, and put a hand on sakura's shoulder.

"Sakura.. don't think of unhappy things"

Sakura smiled and said "Mm. I'm okay"

"Thats good, well i'm going to go now, Sakura-chan see you tonight!" Sakura waved goodbye, turned around and frowned.

"Sasuke..-kun" mumbled Sakura, her voice all shaky.

7:28 pm --- at Shinyo's Resteraunt

Everyone who was going to celebrate Sakura's birthday arrived at the resteraunt, except for Sakura. Everybody was having fun getting reunited with their friends, drinking happily waiting for the birthday girl. Finally cheers went on and everyone turned their heads around to see Sakura wearing white pants and slimy, silky pink shirt with cherry blossom pedals all around it. Her long hair was tied up in a bun, she smiled and waved at everyone. Everyone kept on saying "Ohh Sakura! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!",

"my you look so pretty!". Sakura got to her table where Naruto,Hinata,Shikarmaru, Neji, Tenten, Lee,Ino and Chouji sat."HAPPY BIRTHDAY" yelled her table.

"Maaa, Sakura.. your 18 now..!!!" said Ino. "Ya.. years past by so quickly don't they.." said Sakura.

"Sakura-san.. this is my present for you ! " cried Rock Lee.

"Thank you . Lee-san" smiled Sakura.

Lee was in a position where he thought Sakura was going to kiss her, everybody stared at him and Tenten grabbed him by the ear.

"itaiii!!!! TENTEN!" cried Lee. Everyone laughed.

The food came and everyone started eating.

Naruto caught a glimpse of Sakura while she was eating, he could tell that she still had something on her mind. and that something is Sasuke.

Kakashi and the other teachers plus Tsunade went to their table and gave Sakura her gift.

"Oh my! you didn't have to get anything for me .. sensei-tachi.. and hokage-sama.. You coming to this dinner is already a present" said Sakura.

"No.you must accept it" said all the teachers and tsunade.

Sakura sweatdropped and had no choice but to accept it.

"open it." said Kakashi.

Sakura nodded and looked for Kakashi's gift, since all of the presents were bunched up into a pile. Sakura found the present and opened it. It was a teardrop crystal necklace. She turned around a looked at Kakashi who was smiling gracefully under his mask. "Kakashi-sensei.. you..shouldn't..have.. i can't accept this..it must be expensive.."

"Sakura... if you don't want to make me mad..accept it.."

"but.. you could have just shown me your face as a present"

Everybody laughed.

"Haha..I would ..when i was still your sensei.. but not now. i'm aging haha.." Kakashi patted Sakura's head which make Sakura squint.

"Its only ..7 years.."

"7 years make a difference..."

"Well .. guess i"ll just open the rest at home.. Thank you everyone!" cried Sakura..

The cake came, and everyone started singing happy birthday to Sakura.

Sakura almost fell into tears when she saw how big and beautiful the cake was. There there were, the candles, the candles which you have to blow out after making a wish.

Those 7 years since Sasuke was gone, she would always make wishes that tell him to come back. Only come back, but this time it will be different.

When it was the time to blow the candles, Sakura closed her eyes, Naruto knew what she would be wishing for again this year.

I wish..that Sasuke we knew would come back.. not the evil one..I want.the Sasuke who was in Team7.. the one who looked like he didnt care but he did.

Sakura opened her eyes slowly, bent down and blew out the candles.

Everyone clapped, ate cake and paid the bill.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everybody left and the bill was pretty big but everyone paid for their own food.

"Sakura-chan, you want me to walk you home?" said Naruto.

"Noo.I'm fine..Naruto. Thanks though. See you. Goodnight" said Sakura.

Naruto watched Sakura walk away by herself, "Goodnight" he said.

Little by little, Sakura grew weak, she couldn't move. The world was spinning around her, it suddenly became dark..a thud was heard. Sakura has been dozed with a needle. Two mysterious ninjas appeared and carried her into a old building.

Sakura slowly woke up to find herself tied up to a chair.

This kind of thing won't be hard for me..

a kunai dropped from her arm sleeve and she cut the rope. The mysterious ninja from yesterday appeared.

"Where do you think your going?!" yelled the ninja.

"Maybe I should ask you .. WHAT do you think your doing?!" yelled Sakura, as she ran toward the ninja.

The ninja performed a jutsu that tied Sakura to a wall. Its web! Its the guy who is one of Orochimaru's followers.

The guy with the 8 arms! "Well well, not so tough are we now" said Kidoumaru. Sakura gave him a smirk and did a one hand jutsu and fire blasted from her body melting the webs. Sakura disappeared infront of Kidoumaru and smashed his head with a hard kick. He hit the wall and stumbled onto the ground, he got knocked out. Sakura headed out for the door until a man who looked awfully familiar appeared infront of her. Those eyes.. it can't be.. its SHARIGHAN!.

"Sasuke...-kun?

"Sakura.." said the man in husky and dark voice.
