I stared up at the midnight sky, waiting for sleep to overcome me. I sighed as I began to be engulfed in memories.

Many of them, I didn't care for. As I was remember old times, one memory began to stick out. It was the one night, the one night I decided to leave Konoha. The one night I actually left.

Flashback:

"Sasuke-kun!" a pink-haired girl called after the raven-haired boy as he walked down the road. "You told me that being alone was painful," she continued, with tears in her eyes. "I have family, and friends…but if you leave, for me, it's the same thing as being alone."

The boy just stopped to listen to the pleads of the red-clad girl, but he knew that they wouldn't work. "From now on, new paths will start," he replied as the image of Team 7's picture flashed in his mind. "Sasuke-kun!" she yelled.

"I love you more than anything! If you are by my side, I'll make sure you won't regret it! I will make everyday more enjoyable, and you'll be happy! I would do anything for you! That's why I beg you! Please stay!"

He listened to the pointless words to the girl and she pleaded him not to leave.

"I'll even help you with your revenge, there must be something I can do! That's why, please! Stay here, with me!" she sighed. "If that's not possible, please take me with you…"

The girl kept on crying as the Uchiha stood there, his back facing her, looking straight ahead, not wanting to look back. He turned around slightly, and replied to her:

"After all this time," he began. "You're still annoying."

She gasped, her eyes widened, filled with tears. He turned around, continuing his way out of the village. "Don't go!" she ran towards him, a few steps. "If you do, I'll scream out loud and--" she was interrupted by him already behind her.

"Sakura…" he began. A slight silence fell upon them. "Thank you." Once again, the pink-haired girl gasped, not understanding why he had said that. All of a sudden, a slight thud was heard. "Sasuke-kun…"

I sighed, and closed my eyes. Sakura… I thought silently. I opened my eyes again, and saw a little girl with blonde hair that only reached to the middle of her neck. She lookedaround 8 or 9 years old. Her eyes were emerald like…like Sakura's. What's a little girl doing this late wandering around a forest? I thought. I blinked once, and she was gone.

Yay! you read it!

1.) I took the flashback from the actual episode when Sasuke leaves (it's episode 109- the Sound Temptation if you want to know).
