Yay! Second chapter, let me clear some things up, first thing- I'll probably only be able to update on the weekends, because of school(ugh!), second thing- I'm sorry about the grammatical errors I seriously try to do my best and not mess up, I even have a dictionary right by me, but sometimes I do mess up and sorry for that I'm only a teen.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, but I can dream can't I?

"Sakura"- talking

'Sakura'- thinking

1 year later...

The clouds hung lowly threatining to spill relentlessly on the villagers walking through. A certain pink haired girl walked slowly through the village, her green eyes and pink hair some how dimmer today. She was making her way to the front of the gates where her family and friends stood waiting on her, she was trying so hard to prevent herself from walking to the gates, but in the end she knew it was inevitable, she was going to end up in front of those gates. Today was just not her day, really this whole year just wasn't her year. Everything was happening too fast, it was supposed to be simple for Sakura, she was supposed to go to the ninja academy and spend the rest of her days with all of her friends just training and laughing in Konoha, her village, her home.

At times through the year she wondered what god she angered to deserve this kind of punishement, and the funny thing was that this had all started as soon as she had turned six. The year she thought was going to be perfect, because she was supposed to be a ninja, was falling apart from the start. Sakura should have seen it coming, should of prepared for it, but instead she ignored hoping that that would make it go away and she wouldn't have to be bothered by it any more. She was wrong and because she chose to ignore the way her life was falling apart it just made it all the more harder when the bottom fell out.' I wish I could've done something to stop this from happening,' were her thoughts as she made her way up to the gates.

It had started to drizzle and Sakura could make ot a few of the heads that were already at standing at the gates waiting for her. This would be a bitter-sweet reunion for her because she always loved seeing her friends, but this time it would be Sakuras last time seeing them. Yes all the people she loved and had grown close to, she had to leave them because her mother and father were going on a top secret mission in Snow country and they all had to go undercover as villagers and of couse she was to be brought with them. Sakura wasn't entirely sure why she was needed, but she wasn't going to ask why, it wouldn't do her any good to ask.

It was raining now and she was at the gates, everyone was there all of her beloved friends and her parents were there bags in hand waiting to leave, she wondered how they could be so impatient at a time like this. No one had said anything but the looks on all their faces was enough to make Sakura start to cry, soon after all of the girls, Lee, Gai, and Naruto followed after her and started their own waterworks. The rest of them had a look of pure sorrow on their faces, they all didn't want her to go, but supposedly it was the hokages orders that Sakura accompany them on this mission and they didn't dare question the hokage, so they reluctantly let it go. The rain was coming down harder, but no one cared or noticed that they were getting soaked, Sakuras parents were pushing her to say her goodbyes faster. Sakura tried to say goodbye, but it was just to hard for her to form the words, it was like she had never heard of the word before she just couldn't force herself to say it. In place of the word sobs came out and maybe some irrelevant words that really didn't mean any thing.

"G-Goodbye S-Sakura-chan" was Narutos mangeled goodbye.

"We'll miss you" came Kakashi's solemn statement.

"Goodbye Sakura" was Sasukes only words. 'I'll miss you so much' were his thoughts that couldn't form into words.

Tsunade didn't say anything for the tears wouldn't let her instead she gave Sakura one last bone-crushing hug and reluctantly let her back down.

"Sakua-san I-I will miss y-you!" this was Lee's disgrunteled cry.

The rest were either crying to hard to say goodbye or they were afraid that if they said something their cool would be blown. They all loved Sakura and it tore their hearts to see her have to leave and in this state, crying her eyes out and her hair matted to her face she still looked beautiful even when she was a disaster, it was just her charm. Now her parents were basically dragging her out of the gates and into the waiting forest. Right at that moment for some odd reason everyone at the gates wanted to drag Sakura back into Konoha, it was so strange it was like an urge because they were all afraid that as soon as she was out of their sight she would never come back to them and that scared them, that they might not ever get to see her again, they all exchanged a weary look deciding wether they should act or not.

Sakura had to think of something quick she couldn't leave her dearest of friends without saying anything to them, suddenly inspiration struck her. While still being dragged from the gates of Konoha she managed to turn around and look at all her friends. They all looked up at Sakura who was now facing them and saw through her tear streaked face that smile that they all loved so much. She was smiling as big as she could and then spoke a promise to them all that they never would forget, she said "I'll come back to Konoha just to see all of you again, someday... BELIEVE IT!" At that everyone smiled she had basically shouted it to them, her big smile still in place. "I'm going to hold you to it Sakura-chan!" was Narutos answering reply, Sakura then faded into the trees with her parents. They were truly going to miss her, Konoha just wasn't going to be the same without it's little cherryblossom running around brightening up everyones day and there was still that nagging feeling that told them to go and get her why'll they still had a chance, even though Sakuras promise had nulled that fear, it was still there and they supposed it would always be there now that she was gone .

Sakura was now jumping through trees with her parents like she was already an academey student, she hadn't started yet, she just always had a knack for it along with other ninja abalities. Sadly though she would never get to hope to be a ninja it would be an impossible task for her, at that thought she was reminded of her friends and the promise she had just made to them. Sakura wasn't even sure if she could ever fulfill that promise, really it was just words to keep their spirits up since she hated to see them so miserable. She hoped that they would be just fine without her and that they would eventually forget her that way they wouldn't have to be so worried about her. 'I wonder if I'll ever see them again?' were her thoughts as they finally made there way out of Konoha. Sakura took one last look at her once home and village, she wished that she could see them just one last time, but now she had a new life to live and she needed to forget about her friends in order to carry out her new life effictively, she hoped she would be strong enough to do that.
