It has now been five years...since sasuke left the hidden leaf village. Five long years without a word of sasuke, it seem liked he never was here at all. Our daughter...hana, she is now 4 years old and she acts just like sasuke at times… when she is mad or in fighting. But she is a sweet girl and loves to fight, she's even good at it too. People thinks it comes from sasuke. And i think that way too, she learns faster than her other classmates.

I have yet not tell her who her father is, i don't want for her to go through the same thing i went through. I don't want her to be waiting for him to return. So i haven't say a word of who her father is. But it hurts knowing that she might never know who her father is or to even see who he is.

I'm 21, naruto and sakura are 23. Naruto, sakura, and kakashi were always there when i need them. They helped me rise hana and watch her when i am on missions. Two years ago...Naruto left on a mission and hasn't come back since than. Sakura thinks that some day naruto will come back and that sasuke will come back here too. But so far... nothing! I don't know where he is or even if he is alive. As for naruto...i know he is alright, me and sakura hear the villagers talk about him, say that they saw him in another village and that he is all right.

"Ah...what a wonderful morning, isn't hana?"I asked as i look up to the clear blue sky." Yes, yes it is wonderful mom. I love it." Hana answered. As i look down to where she was standing....she was smiling at me, her sweet smile." Yuri! Yuri, you have another mission. Get ready to go in an hour. Drop hana off at my house when you are ready to leave." Kakashi explained to me. I just gave a nod and he disappeared.....may be just to finish reading his sick book...before i drop hana off."Mom? Why do we always come here in the morning?" hana asked as she turned towards me. I didn't answer her question, i just looked back up the beautiful sky. After that night sasuke left, i would come to the front gate and look out to see if he might be coming home, some times hana would come with me. But no, no sasuke.

"Will hana i have to leave, okay? I should be back by to night. So your going to stay here with uncle kakashi." i say to my daughter before i leave to the sand village. I give her a kiss her on the forehead and i gave kakashi a hug and i left. The mission was easy...all i had to do was get some papers signed from the sand village and come back home with the signed papers. When i got the papers signed, i was walking around the village. And i saw one of my closes friends, gaara. I haven't seen him for about a year or so.

He helped me with some of my missions...when i needed it and he was always there when i needed him. I had met him about three years ago and we have been friends since than, he is a wonderful person to have as a friend and very caring, even if it doesn't look like it.

"Ah yuri! I haven't seen you in a while. How have you been? Okay i hope and your daughter?" Gaara asked as we walked around the village." I'm okay gaara and yes hana is doing fine." i answer as i look up to the dark blue sky. "ah... yuri i have some news for you. I don't know if you know but....i heard sasuke was here yesterday with naruto and that they are going back to the leaf village. I don't know if its true but i thought you might want to know." Gaara told me as he was looking down to the ground. It shocked me, i haven't hear about sasuke and that Gaara told me this, i knew he loved me."Oh, really? I wouldn't think so, naruto when on a mission about two years ago and hasn't come back since and sasuke...will he has been gone for…a while." i explained to him. With that i took off for home....i wanted to see my daughter.

By the time i got home...it was dark out and it was cold. I went to the training grounds instand of kakashi's house. I was half way there when i heard something behind me. It was Sakura!"Ah yuri! I found you...naruto is back and he came with sa...." she stopped on the last part."Sasuke?" I asked. "yes, but yuri."sakura started off but i started to talk. "Heh ...he left." i finish for her."im sorry yuri. I...i tried to stop him but he wouldn't listen to me or kakashi and naruto." she finished as she looked down at her feet. I just looked around away from her and up to the sky before i say another word. "Ah...its...its okay, sakura. I heard from gaara that they were coming but i didn't think they would, so i took my time coming here. So guess it was my fault. No needed to be sorry." i say as i give a sweet smile. Then i started to walk off to the training grounds." Sakura watch hana to night for me." i yelled as i kept walking and i heard sakura yell to me saying that it was okay to watch her to night.

When i got there...i noticed i haven't been to this training grounds, since when sasuke kissed me. Thats when all those memories of us together came back to me. I fell to my knees right where i did last time i was here. "I hate you! I should have never came back from my mission! I should have stayed away!" i re-said the words i had said to him many years ago. I fell hot tears running down my face, i cried once more right there for sasuke. I haven't cry this much since when he told me he didn't need me. I sat there in the dark and i cry for god knows how long. When i was going to get up, i felt someone's warm arms around me." I...i can't stand to see you cry. Especially when i did this to you...i hurt you...i can't stand it. It's just that i didn't plan on....on falling in love with you" a familiar voice whispered into my ears. A voice that i haven't heard for 5 years now. Oh how i missed this voice and how i longed for his arms to be around me once again. But everything came back to me, i looked up and....no one was there, i was just wishing for it to be. So i got up and walked home silently.

When i got home, everything seemed to be out of place, my sweet daughter wasn't here with me and the house was cold. I decided to go to bed early to night. After washing up and changing into my night clothes...i thought i had heard some one else in the house. But who would be there? So i looked around the house and no one there. I was ready to get into bed when someone held a kunai up to my neck, from behind." Why do you still cry for me?" the person asked. I knew that voice from any where...it was....sasuke. It seem like time had stopped right there, as will as my heart. He was back, he came back to me.

"Sa...sasuke?" i whispered... mainly to myself. Soon i felt the kunai being moved away from my neck and than soon came warm arms around me." You, came back! I thought you wouldn't, but you did." I said in between sobs."I have been waiting for you to come back. I've waited five years for you sasuke." I couldn't believe that sasuke was back! "Yes i have came back.....i came back for you." sasuke whispered into my ears. His breath against my skin, it made me blush. Tears started to fall down my face, i was happy to see sasuke again.

"Yuri, i never once stop thinking about you. I wasn't going to come back, but i wanted to see you. I'm sorry for leaving you.....I'm so sorry. Please forgive me." sasuke asked me. Instead of telling him that i would forgive him....i kissed him. "Just never leave me again, sasuke. Stay with me forever." i said." I will always be with you, i will not ever leave you. I love you." sasuke whispered once more into my ear. We stayed like that, holding each other in our arms. I missed it, i missed being in sasuke's arms.

The next morning we went to kakashi's house, sasuke met hana. She was shocked to see her father, who she never heard of...sasuke seem not to mind that i didn't tell her anything about him. And i got to see naruto, as will. He was so happy to me, he gave me a big bear hug....oh how i missed his hugs. So the team was back...seven years later and we are still the best(est) friends.

!!!!Sasuke remembered me and he will never leave my side...again!!!!
