A quick A/N for those of you who haven't read As Long As You're Mine I just wanted to let you know that for this fic I changed the age of when Sasuke left. Their all 15 not 13. Also since they're 15 I'm saying that Sakura and Naruto have trained with Tsunade and Jiryay for two years.

This is the prequel to As Long As You're Mine. You don't have to read it first to understand this one.

Just To See You Smile.

Chapter One: One More Night

I stared at his back. I could feel the tears in my eyes. "I know about what happened," I said. He stopped walking. Not turning back to look at me. "To your clan. But with revenge alone, you won't be able to make anyone happy. No one." I whispered, my voice failing me.

"I know that!" he hissed at me. "I'm different from you. I follow a different path. The four of us together; it's true that I have thought of that as one possible path. Despite the four of us being together my heart had chosen revenge. I live for that purpose." He said.

I stared at him. "Aren't you going to be lonely by yourself? Sasuke-kun!" I yelled. He looked back at me. "You told me, that being alone is painful! I know that very well, so much that it hurts! I have family and I have friends!" I sniffled, and pulled my hands up to my chest. "If you leave, for me. To me! It's the same thing as being alone! I love you more than anything!" I could hear my voice cracking. He was looking at me now. "If you are by my side, I will make sure that you will not regret it! I will make everyday move enjoyable and you will be happy. I would do anything for you!" I yelled.

"I know that!" Sasuke yelled. I froze. "I don't want you to get hurt, Sakura." he said, he looked down. "Sakura, you mean a lot to me. I don't want anything to happen to you. I promise I'll come back." he said, he turned around and started to walk away from me.

"Please! Please wait!" I yelled he looked back at me. "Please, just one more night. Just stay one more night with me!" I begged. He smiled, it was a true smile. Not a smirk. A happy smile.

"Alright," he said. I smiled.

Green eyes snapped open. Said girl that those eyes belonged to sat alone in the bedroom that belonged to none other than Uchiha Sasuke. The pinkette grabbed the white sheets that pooled around her waist. She pulled up the covers to cover her bare chest. She looked around the room, hoping, praying that somehow, and some way he had decided to stay. She found no trace of him, just the picture of their team placed down ward on the dresser.

A loud sob echoed from her chest as she cried into the white sheets. Crystalline tears refused to stop making their way down her face until soon her once beautifully pale skin was red. It almost felt like a dream. The night before. She couldn't believe what had happened. His words, his touch. She shuttered thinking about it. She looked around the room and found her clothes.

Climbing out of the bed she collected the clothes quickly. She changed back into her red dress before sprinting out of the house. The Uchiha district sat on the edges of the village so she pushed chakra into her legs until she finally reached the Hokage's office. She bothered not in knocking; nearly taking the door off of its hinges. The blonde Hokage glared at the girl.

"Sakura? What is the meaning of this?" she demanded. Sakura panted.

"Uchiha-" she took in a deep breath. Tears already threatening to fall. "Sasuke left the village!" she shrieked the last part. The Hokage's glare quickly went to a widened stare. She quickly looked up at Shikamaru who had been standing in the room the whole time.

"Shikamaru. I want you to assemble a team as quickly as possible," Shikamaru nodded before leaving the room, his eyes watched the sobbing kunoichi before he averted his eyes and ran out of the room.

Sakura crumbled to the ground, tears streaming from her eyes. Her sobs echoed through the halls of the Hokage tower.

"Naruto!" The six men who stood at the gates to the village turned around quickly to see the short haired pinkette running towards them.

"Sakura-chan?" Naruto inquired the closer she got. Once she reached the group she stood there completely still. She looked awful. Her eyes were sunken slightly and she held herself like she was sick. It nearly killed Naruto to see her in such state.

"I've already heard from Tsuande-sama. I'm sorry but I can't take you with us Sakura," Shikamaru said. "Even you weren't able to convince him to stay…" Naruto stared at Sakura wide eyed. If what Shikamaru was saying was true… than that would mean that Sakura had been with Sasuke right before he left. "All that can be done now is for us to use force to convince him. Sakura, your role in this has ended,"

Sakura bit her lip wrapping her slim arms around her body as she shoulders shock with the sorrow that was raging through her body. "Sakura-chan… that means that… you and Sasuke…?" Naruto asked moving towards her.

"Naruto…" her voice came out in a whimper. "This is a… once in a lifetime request… please bring… please bring Sasuke-kun back. I couldn't do it! I wasn't able to stop Sasuke-kun! At this point," she looked up into his blue eyes that were staring at her in shock. "At this point. The only person who would be able to stop Sasuke-kun… who would be able to save him… Naruto… it's you Naruto!"

He looked down slowly a sad smile forming on his face. He tried to smile more, he closed his eyes before turning to look at her, not wanting to see her face, see her pain. "You love Sasuke so much don't you Sakura-chan? I understand it…" Sakura stared at him while he tried avoiding eye contact. "How painful it must be for you right now Sakura-chan…"

She gripped her arms tighter. In a matter of words she knew he understood. She knew he would feel some sort of pain that was equivalent to her own. In the aspect that Sasuke was a teammate, a friend, a brother to Naruto. While Sakura… had given all of herself to the young Uchiha. Naruto clenched his fist. He opened his eyes averting his eyes from her. Sakura let out a sob.

"Thank you Naruto…" She sobbed.

Naruto grinned giving her a thumbs up. "I'll bring Sasuke back without fail. I promise that on my life!"

Sakura sniffled as she watched the group of men leave. Leaving her behind with Lee. She bit her lip. Naruto would always understand her. He would always be the one who was there to help her. She watched through blurry vision as he continued to walk forward.

"I'm positive that all will go well Sakura-san. As long as Naruto's there," Lee smiled at her assuring. Her eyes widened at Lee's comment. He was right. Naruto would never let her down. He was the perfect guy.
