Sasuke was livid.

He just stood there, staring at the pages in Itachi's file. He reread it, twice, three times, four times. But it did not matter how many times he had read it the same words were there. Pein didn't burn down the mansion… his brother did. Itachi did. And he couldn't believe it.

"What kind of shit is this?" he mumbled to himself. I felt like going insane. It was like everything he worked for was a waste. He wasted his life for this gang, he wasted is time in this place he wasted…

His relationship with the only girl he could ever love. Sakura.

"And I can't retrieve it," he whispered to himself. His eyes narrowed. He will make Itachi pay for what he did. If it was the last thing he will do. He hoped that such a thing would take away the pain in his heart, so he could finally move on.

"Karin." Sasuke called out as a red headed, red-eyed girl ran into the office.

"Yes Sasuke-kun? What can I do for you?" she purred. Sasuke grunted and threw her the file.

"Do some research and find out where this man's location is."


Bitch I'm Honey Cocaine bout to bring in some pain
All my haters like a choir they all singing my name

Fuck your feelings, taste my weapons act like a bitch I'll erase yo blessings yo
You are not familiar with me if you comic in a move bitch your visitor is me

Sakura rapped the lyrics to Tyga and Honey Cocaine's song Heisman. She was doing her hair in the mirror while blasting music from her ipod. She loved this simple deep ass beat going through her room as she kept rapping with the song.

Only way you copying me nigga

She heard Konan's faint voice about breakfast but Sakura ignored it. She was not hungry away so it did not matter to her. In all honestly, she just wanted to get this week over with so she had time to herself. But knowing the gang's situation that was not going to be the case. As being the leader, she had great responsibility, which means devoting her whole life to the gang. But she was hoping for the day when she was able to get out and go to the whole college thing people kept talking about. Trust, she loved the gang they were her family but, she cannot possibly do this her whole life.

"Sakura! Breakfast!" Konan now yelled from the kitchen. Sakura sighed and turned the music off while heading to the kitchen.

The other members were sitting there eating happily, while Sakura's plate was sitting there getting cold. She sat in her original seat bet did not touch the food. Konan gave her a look asking what was wrong, as Sakura simply shook her head. She was just not feeling too sociable today.

Sakura sat up, "I am going to head to school early today to get extra study time. Any one

needs a ride?"

Before another could answer, Sakura was out the door headed to school.

God damn it all! Sakura's Inner yelled in her head. Whhhy did you leave the house early again?

I just really did not want to be there. I have a lot going through my mind I really do. I need some air to breathe. I am constantly around people and I suddenly feel annoyed about it all. Sakura replied to her Inner. She just needed some alone time. But SOMEONE just had to ruin it. Bastard.

"Sakura-chan! Sakura-chan! Are you even listening to me?" Neko yelled in Sakura's ear. She was getting really annoyed by him. He was acting like such a brat.

"No I am not," she stated bluntly. Neko frowned and clung to her arm.

"I thought that you loved me!" Neko cried out.

Oh my gosh, don't kill myself. Don't kill myself, don't kill myself, and don't kill myself. Breathe. Breathe. Breathe. Breathe.

"Neko, it is too early in the morning for all of this. I am very tired. So shut the fuck up," she said annoyed but added, "I just need some alone time if you would shit."

Neko smiled and hugged Sakura, "I understand". Sakura was surprised by this. She thought that he was going to have another rage fit. But he didn't.

"Thanks, I needed that." Sakura mumbled.

"You know that I am always there for my girl," Neko winked playfully, "Just call me if you need to rant. You can't do everything by yourself Sak."

"Yeah," she mumbled as Neko took his leave. Sakura took this chance to go outside for some fresh air while most of the students weren't at the school yet. She walked towards the football field and sat on the bleachers.

"These seats are warm already huh." She commented as she sat down. She leaned back and just stared at the clouds. Getting lost in them.

It was times like these when she appreciated the things around her more. Just looking at the sky made her feel so carefree like a child again. But she new that her childhood is over as adulthood was well on its way. She was almost 18 and was proud that she made it so far.

Pein…Her thoughts went to him, of how he died in the hands of her lover. A tear fell down, but Sakura did not notice this. Her glaze was still on the clouds above as they moved across the sky. I wish I could move along with the clouds. That right there would be heaven. Shit.

RIIIIING! The school bell went off signaling the students to head to their classes. Sakura sighed and got up from her seat. She grabbed her backpack and made her way to class.

Even though this ain't heaven I gotta make the best of it 'til I get there.


"Karin, did you find anything yet?" Sasuke asked impatiently. Karin smiled at him and shook her head.

"Sorry Sasuke-kun, but I am getting a team ready for a mission to investigate it at the airport to get a hold of their files. He tried to hide his tracks and did a pretty well job I must say."

"How long." He demanded. Karin laughed.

"And THAT depends on the mission's results. Sasuke-kun don't worry. I should have results by the end of the week," Karin said.

"Hn," Sasuke grunted and walked out of the girl's office. She ought to hurry the hell up because Sasuke was the most impatient person in the world.

He made his way out of the building and into the streets of downtown Konoha. It was extremely bright outside that Sasuke swinted his eyes as coming out of the door. He needed some fresh air and some alone time.

Even though he is usually alone he needed alone time particularly outside. In the fresh toxic air of downtown. This area was filled with drunken adults, murderers and other lowlifes… Just like him. He felt as if he belonged here. As if he did not deserve any better. He looked up at the sky, at the clouds.

He remembered how Shikamaru always was glazing at the clouds. And today was the first day to where he realized why the boy liked it so much. It was calming… very calming. He should have done something like this a long time ago to calm his nerves instead of having sex with several of girls. Something of that nature was not necessarily healthy for the mind.

Sasuke kept walking through the town and eventually ended up at a park. He glanced at the jungle gym that the kids were playing at and froze.

This place looks too familiar. Well of course it does since he lives in this city but this place holds a special memory to it.

[Flash back]

"My parents…" Sasuke said, "They died due to a disease… a rare one. The doctors haven't seen anything like it… it was unknown to them." He didn't know why he was telling her this. The only person he told was Naruto, who had been his friend since the age of five.

"Sorry…" she murmured. Sasuke grunted.

"You didn't do anything. So why be sorry?" he said. Sakura smiled and looked out into the clearing. Suddenly Sakura burst out laughing. Sasuke's eye brow rose. What the heck is so funny? Then, she answered his question.

"N-nothing… I had an image of something…" she giggled.

"And what was that of?" he said, making his way towards her. Sakura blushed and broke the eye contact that she usually makes.

"N-nothing S-Sasuke!" Sasuke smirked and brought his face even closer.

"Really?" his voice was deep and rich… like dark chocolate. Sakura almost lost balance.

"Mhmmm," she manages to mumble out loud. Sasuke smirked. He was having so much fun seeing how Sakura's embarrassed. He thought she looked cute.

Suddenly he captured his lips onto hers. He tasted like strawberries, which surprised her. She thought Sasuke would taste like tomatoes. Sakura felt like she was going to melt under this heat. She didn't know how to respond. It washer first kiss after all. And Sasuke Uchiha just stole it from her.

On the other hand, Sasuke smirked. She tastes like that yummy curry she ate. Now he knows why she loved it so much. Sasuke finally accepted that he really like the pink-haired teen. He broke the kiss to see Sakura's face. Red with embarrassment and red from~ how hard he had kissed her. Sasuke's face flushed… finally.

"Um…" Sakura began. She really didn't know what to say after your first kiss. "Does that mean you like me?"

Sasuke was caught off guard by this blunt question, but he smiled, "Yeah… it does."

[End of flash back]

Sasuke's eyes softened. He remembers now, it was the park of he and Sakura's first kiss together. He suddenly frowned. The yearning for her kisses was still in his heart. He missed it. He missed her. But it was all screwed up, but because of one mistake.

Sasuke's eyes narrowed. Itachi, you will be gone.


Sakura smiled as she took notes. Oh how she loved science. Physics was not her favorite but it was science nevertheless, so she was okay with it. She looked around for the clock to look at the time.

1:15pm.

She was so ready to get out of school to go home to sleep or do something relaxing. She needed it. All of the Akatsuki paper work along with her homework was really getting to her.

God damn, just ten more minutes I can last.

Neko was sitting next to Sakura and smiled at her.

"Ready to leave eh?" he stated bluntly.

"Well yeah duh, I need to sleep I am so tired!" she yawned. Neko poked her forehead.

"You were always so cute when you were tired Sakura-chan," he grinned.

"Shut. The hell up Neko," Sakura growled and smacked his hand away. Neko laughed at this.

"And grumpy." He sneered.

"I said shut the hell up," she whispered harshly, trying to not get in trouble for talking too loud.

"Fine Sakura-chan, but do not get mad at me when you are a lonely old wrinkly lady with saggy tits and you can't get any man because you have thousands of cats in your home and you-!"

"GOD DAMN IT NEKO JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

BRIIIIIING! BRIING! And the school day was over.
