A pink haired kunoichi walked around Konoha late one night. She was lost in thought and ended up near the entrance of Konoha. There was a stone, cold bench. Memories had flooded back to her head from that final night.

-flashback-

"What are you doing here late at night? Just out for a stroll?" Sasuke asked.

"In order to leave the village, you have to take this road." Sakura replied.

"Go home and sleep." Sasuke said.

Sasuke walked past her as tears rolled down Sakura's face.

"Why?" Sakura asked.

She turned around to face him.

"Why won't you say anything to me? Why do you shut everyone out? Why won't you tell me anything?" Sakura asked.

"Why do I have to tell you anything? Stop bothering me all the time." Sasuke said.

"You always act like you hate me, Sasuke-kun. I know what happened to your clan. But revenge won't make anyone happy. Not you...nor me." Sakura said.

"I know that."Sasuke said.

"Are you going to be alone all by yourself? You told me that being alone is painful. I have family and friends, but if you leave for me... it's the same thing as being alone." Sakura told.

"From this point on, new paths will start." Sasuke said.

"I love you more than anything! If you're by my side, I will make sure that you won't regret it. I would do anything for you. That's why I'm begging you. Please stay here. I will even help you with your revenge. That's why...please stay here with me, if not, please take me with you." Sakura confessed.

"After all this time, you're still annoying." Sasuke said.

He turned and walked away. She ran a few steps.

"Don't leave!If you leave, I'll scream loud and..."Sakura paused.

"Sakura...Thank you..." Sasuke said.

-end of flashback-

"I'm going to find you...I'm coming Sasuke-kun." Sakura whispered.

She ran to her house and packed kunais, shurikens, and food. She walked to the entrance of Konoha and took one last look back at her home. Sakura was leaving everything behind, friends, family, her mentor, all but one, her one love, who instead left her years ago. With that she quickly disappeared into the forest.


Meanwhile, a raven haired shinobi was walking around the forest. There were three people following behind him. One was a girl, she had really bad haircut, with red hair, and glasses. The other two were boys, one was skinny, with light blue hair and sharp teeth with a sword on his back,Suigestsu. The other had orange hair and had a calm expression on his face,Jugo.

"Where are we Sasuke-kun?" Karin asked.

"I think we're near Kusagakure." Sasuke answered.

"Isn't that near Konoha?" Suigestu asked.

Sasuke seemed to tense up a bit when Suigestu said the word. It's been five years since he left there. There was a sound in the bushes. They all got ready to fight. Out came Sakura, she looked into Sasuke's dark onyx eyes.

"Sasuke...kun..."Sakura whispered.
