Chapter 2
Sakura traveled nearly 10 miles when it started to get dark. She stopped and set up a tent and prepared food for herself. As she was eating her food, she couldn't help but think about how the gang used to hang out at Ichiraku's all the time, because of Naruto of course. Over the past 5 years since Sasuke left, she became so distant from the gang.
"No fights with Ino, no punching Naruto for rude comments, no running away from Lee all the time," thought Sakura.
Ever since Sasuke left, Sakura became the new "icecube" of Konoha. She always was striving for strength, power, and training- ONLY.
"Sounds a lot like someone I know, or used to know," thought Sakura.
Sakura thanked Sasuke in a way because if he didn't point out the flaws in her, she wouldn't have become the kuniochi or the medic-nin she is today.
"I was never meant for him. He thought I was annoying, weak, and another obsessive fangirl of his. Yeah, I admit, I was a fangirl when we were little, and it was just a crush, but the day he left Konoha...left me, I realized that the crush I had for Uchiha Sasuke developed into a real and true love. I wanted to help him, I wanted to show him that I cared," thought Sakura as she went into her tent and got ready for bed.
Sakura thought even more, "No one knew how Sasuke felt when his own brother murdered his clan, and neither did I, but now, I think I know how he would have felt because in the 5 years that passed after he left, so many things came into my life at once. I think that is one of the two reasons why I'm so cold and distant, because I've been through things that others haven't been through. The other reason why I think I'm so cold and distant is that I couldn't help the one person who I loved with all my heart. Instead of helping him and lifting him up, I annoyed him and dragged him down because I was weak."
"Do I love him though? Do I want to still help him?" asked Sakura to herself as she fell into a deep slumber. Slowly, she was starting to have a dream...
"Sakura... who did this to you... who?" said Sasuke with an evil tone in his voice that made Sakura quiver.
As Sasuke approached the ninja, weird marks started to appear all over his skin. Sakura, afraid of what will happen, held onto him from behind.
"No!! Please!! Stop!!" cried Sakura as she cried into Sasuke. Sasuke's marks started to disappear as Sasuke fell onto the ground.

"I love you with all my heart! Just please, don't leave!" cried Sakura.
"After all these years, you're still annoying," said Sasuke as he turned back to continue on his journey.
"If you leave, I'll scream and-"
"...Sakura... thank you..."
"Sasuke...don't leave me... Sasuke please!!" cried Sakura in her sleep.
With a gasp, Sakura woke up from her dream.
"Sasuke... why...?" thought Sakura as she fell asleep once more.
The next day...
Sakura woke up and got ready to start on her journey again. She checked her chakra level, her kunais, and started to travel to the Fire Country. As she went on her way, she couldn't help but think about the dream she had the night before.
"Hmm... I haven't had a dream about Sasuke in ages... I wonder what happened..." thought Sakura.
As she thought about the dream, she focused herself and thought about the mission. She then remembered the envelope that Tsunade-sama had given her right before she left.
"I wonder what it is..." said Sakura as she opened it up.
Sakura, I forgot to tell you the day before what the guy that you were to spy on looked like.
"Yeah, it would help if you tell me, won't it, Tsunade-sama?" Sakura thought amusingly as she read on.
From what we know, he has grayish hair, but is not old. He always wears glasses, so he'll be easy to locate. He also wears dark clothes. That's what we know so far, so I hope you can identify him quickly once you get there. Please be safe no matter what,
Tsunade-sama
"Hmm... he sounds familiar... I just can't think of who it is..." thought Sakura. (A/N: yes, WE all know who it is, so bear with me)
As Sakura put the letter in her pouch, she began to stare in awe at the sight that was before her. The Fire Country was marveling than anything she had ever seen. The bright red flags on the houses, the magnificent decorations everywhere, and the great smells of food drew Sakura into it even more. Sakura then snapped back into reality of her mission and started to walk into the marvelous city.
"Why are they having a celebration?" thought Sakura as she passed the decorations and people dressed in beautiful clothes made of fine silk.
Suddenly, snapping her out of the sights was a gray-haired, glasses wearing, dark clothes owning person. He was walking in front of her, but she could see the light glinting off of the glasses.
"So familiar..." she thought as her eyes grew wide at the sudden click of her mind.
"Kabuto!! That's why he was so familiar!!" thought Sakura as she thought back to the big battle she had a year ago with Kabuto.
"Wait... if Kabuto is the trusted advisor of the guy who's planning the attack, then it has to be...Orochimaru!!" thought Sakura.
XXX
For the whole day, she followed Kabuto around, and she cloaked her headband and appearance to trick him, just as Tsunade-sama told her to do. Now, she had no headband, and had black hair with dark brown eyes. Finally, after hours of following Kabuto around, not gathering needed information, she decided on "interrogating" him to get the information that she needed from him. Yes, it was a dangerous plan, but she knew she could beat Kabuto any day. As Kabuto walked into a secluded area, Sakura followed him there. Suddenly, Kabuto turns around and spots Sakura, but doesn't know it's her.
"Who are you, and why are you following me around?" asked Kabuto with an evil look on his face.
"That is none of your business. Now, I want some answers out of you. Is Orochimaru really attacking Konoha, or is it just bullshit that someone made up?" asked Sakura, giving him the death glare that she perfected over the years.
"Why do you care if Lord Orochimaru attacks Konoha or not?" asked Kabuto, smirking.
"Because I care, retard. Now tell me, is he?" said Sakura, getting frustrated.
"Well, I'm afraid that he is going to attack Konoha and nothing is going to get in his way. His plan will succeed," said Kabuto.
"Really? Well I'm afraid not," answered Sakura.
"For a girl who's pretty strong with words, you look weak," said Kabuto, showing his evil smirk.
The one thing Sakura hated was being called weak, so she attacked Kabuto. She charged at him with her chakra-filled fist, landing it right into his jaw. Bleeding, Kabuto stood up and threw numerous amounts of kunai at Sakura. Sakura dodged all but two, one landing in her shoulder, the other landing in her arm. Sakura started to use hand-techniques against Kabuto, which he couldn't stand up against. As Kabuto lay on the floor, bleeding.
"You remind me of a pink-haired kuniochi that I fought a year ago," said Kabuto.
Ignoring what he said, Sakura went up to him, "when is Orochimaru attacking Konoha?"
Kabuto remained silent, not giving in. Sakura punched him in the stomach and asked once again, "when is the bastard attacking?"
Kabuto swearing to himself and admitting defeat, "he's attacking in two months, he's getting all of his ninjas fit and trained, and there's about 5,000 of them."
"Anything else you want to tell me?" said Sakura.
Kabuto, coughing up blood, "Lord Orochimaru will kill you. I promise."
"Really? Let's see what happens," said Sakura.
Sakura punched Kabuto once again in the jaw and left. She uncloaked her headband and appearance, returning back to normal. It was weird, but during the whole battle with Kabuto, she felt as if someone was watching her. Having the feeling once more, she turned around. No one. Sakura then walked into another secluded area of the city, ready to strike if need be. Suddenly, she heard a deep, familiar voice.
"Sakura," said the voice.
"Who are you? Show yourself!" said Sakura as she looked all around her.
"Sakura, you couldn't have forgotten me already," said the voice as it descended from the rooftops to in front of Sakura.
Sakura, wide- eyed, looked at the person in front of her in disbelief.
