I thought it would be better for her.
I mean people are scared of me.
My brain froze and my body heated in rage as I stared at her.
She was wearing a plain white dress and she was on the ground bowing to me.
Her face and arms were covered with scratches and bruises.
I didn't want to think of how many more she had underneath her dress.
She had on worn black slippers and her hair was tied up in a high pony-tail.
"It's nice to see your doing so well, your highness." She said smiling thinly.
"Yes. Are you and Sasuke doing well?" I asked my eyes widening as she flinched at his name.
I now knew who was responsible… and it was my fault.
"We are… I am even expecting. I know I don't look it but I've already started to get morning sickness and have started to get cravings." She said laughing lightly.
I wanted to kill.
He touched her in ways I can only imagine when I did nothing at all!
Tears were what stained her cheeks.
I could tell he quit crying for good years ago but still I could see it all so clearly.

"Sakura I don't love you anymore." I told her simply.
"What why?! Why are you telling me this now… we're getting married tomorrow. Or… we were." she sighed and tried not to cry.
I couldn't let her live here with me.
People are trying to kill me everyday because of this stupid war!
I didn't want her to get hurt and she'd feel worse if she found out why I was really doing this.
So I think it'll help her move on if I lie just this once to her.
"Okay I'll leave today so you don't have to stand in my presence much longer." She whispered.
I stared at her fighting to keep my cold hard face like it was with no emotion.
"Good bye your highness. I hope you find happiness." Sakura told me then left.
"I heard Uchiha misses you." I told her smiling thinly.
She nodded and smiled one last smile at me.
"I'll always remember what you were to me." She whispered smiling sadly at me.
Good bye…
How can I not say bye?
Am I that selfish?
Am I so selfish that I wouldn't want to let my everlasting beauty leave?
Even if it was for her own good?
I was evil.

"Is it a boy or girl?" I asked in a bored voice.
"I hope it is a boy… if not…um… hey how have you been old friend?" She said hastily making me suspicious.
Oh great now he would kill her and the kid if it wasn't a boy?
Holy crap what kind of life is she living?!
"Where do you live? You know so I can visit you sometime." I said acting casual.
"I live in the Ever Green apartment complex alone." She said standing up from her bow.
She looked way too thin.
"Would you like a snack?" I asked pretending to be bored instead of actually caring for her.
The war was still going.
Outside and inside my head.
I tried not to notice her stomach grumble pleading for the food.
She blushed lightly then nodded looking at the ground.
I let her eat but to my surprise she ate slowly and carefully.
I'm assuming she thinks I haven't noticed or just don't care when really…
I wanted to murder anyone who made her frown or cry.
Which of course puts me at the top of that list…
