Chapter
two
Good Bye Birthday
Sakura woke up the next morning at 5.00am. She had bought presents for everyone for her departure today. Sakura smiled and put on the outfit her mother had made her for her birthday. She wore a black ruffle short skirt, a zip up dark blue shirt that showed her shoulders, no sleeves. On her right arm was a long white glove that cut off right under her fingers, and connected to her shirt by a red strap. On the other arm was the same white glove but had two red ribbons crisscrossing all the way down the arm tied into a bow at her wrist. She wore the same black knee boots. Satisfied with the way she looked, she headed out the door with the presents.
First off the list of presents, Ino. She walked to the Yamanaka house hold and left the piece of box containing a necklace Ino had wanted for years but didn't have the money for it in the mailbox and proceeded to the Nara household. She left him a box containing a brand new shoji board with new pieces that Shikamaru was eyeing for the past few years. Next was the Hyuuga's. She bought a pair of beautiful diamond earrings for Hinata and a set of different history books that Neji always seems to love reading. She bought TenTen a new set of kunai's, shuriken's, senbon and other weapons. For Shizune, a new necklace with her name on it. For Tsunade, new sake's of the highest quality. For Jiraiya, a ticket to a hot spring filled with luxurious girl servants. For Kakashi, she bought him two of the latest Icha-Icha series. For Sai, a new artist pad, paint brush and ink. For Naruto, a picture album containing all of the happy photos they took together. And lastly for Sasuke, she bought him a set of new weapons, a picture of him and Sakura when they were kids and a letter explaining where she will be to hear his answer.
Once she was done giving out presents she headed back home to pack up. When she reached her house, it was already 7.00am. She had spent 2 hours to send the presents. Now she had to pack up some supplies. Half an hour later, she finished and headed out the door. She stopped. 'I still have loads of time left. I want to know his answer… Knowing him, he's not yet awake. Better go get some breakfast first…'

Sasuke woke up at 11.58pm. He had planned to clean the house but decided against it since he still had to figure out what to say to Sakura. He was giving him a migraine and he definitely did NOT like it one bit. He had been thinking all night for his answer he could hardly sleep. He got out of bed and walked to his kitchen. He was about to grab a toomato when a blue box at the front door caught his attention. Curious, he took and unwarpped the box. A card fell out. He read the contents.
Sasuke,
I'll be waiting for you at the Cherry Blossom tree at Training Ground 7 for your answer. Please tell me before 12pm sharp. I'll be waiting... Please come... Because I'll be leaving... Bye...
Sakura... I'll always love you...
Sasuke narrowed his eyes. 'Leaving?' He thought. Sasuke looked at the clock and cursed. It was 11.58pm already! He had 2 minutes to reach her. He sprinted off not caring about the box on the floor. 'Please wait for me...'
Sakura leaned on the Cherry Blossom tree she said to meet Sasuke for his answer. Passbyers glared at her from a distance. She felt sad knowing that Konoha's citizens were against her. She loathed Ami more and more now. She looked at the sky. She could tell it was already 11.58pm. She sighed and held the necklace Naruto had given her when she was eating breakfast and asked her why she gave him a present. Sakura avoided the subject. Kakashi had given her a silver bracelet with her name on it. She avoided him when he asked about the presents. Sai and the elders had given her a drawing pad and a new katana. Shizune and Tsunade gave her a new book about poisons and antidotes from all over the world. Jiraiya for once gave something not perverted. He had given her a new pair of boots.
She smiled at the presents given to her. They gave her something to remind them off. She looked at the sky again. 11.59pm. She sighed. He wasn't coming. She put a note with a Forget-Me-Not. She stood as leaves surrounded the area infront of her. A strong wind blew and Itachi and Hikari appeared. Hikari had grown over the years. She had waist lenght pink hair thatwas tied into a neat bun and mesmerizing dark green eyes. She wore the Akatsuki cloack over her black top and skirt. Hikari smiled. "Sakura.. Come..." She said. Itachi held out a hand. Sakura hesitated before taking it. Narutoand the rest except Sasuke arrived at the place just in time to see them dissapere. Naruto rushed to them but he was too late. He screamed her name in agony as Shizune, Sai, and Tsunade came. Hinata explained what had happened. Tsunede and Shizune broke down then and there. Sasuke arrived and Naruto immedietly attacked him. It took Neji, Shikamaru, Kiba and Sai to hold him off. Sasuke was confused but rushed towards the Cherry Blossom tree. He notice the flower and note. He picked them up and read the note.
Sasuke,
If you receive this than I'm gone from Konoha. I have followed Hikari-nee and Itachi-nii to Akatsuki. I have also decided that it's no use for me to come between you and Karin. But believe me on this... I did not do or say anything she said I did or say. Please believe me if you really are Uchiha Sasuke, son of Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto. And if you don't believe me, go to your parents grave and pray before them. Then ask them who you should believe. Me or Karin? I'm sure they'll answer. But remember this well Sasuke... I still love you no matter what happens. My heart was with you since you left the village untill now, yet you refuse to let me have it back... Then keep it. As long as you're happy, I am.. I will always be happy as long as you are... Sayanora, Sasuke-kun, Say Good Bye for me to the others...
Sakura
Sasuke stared at the letter as he felt a pang of regret and guilt go through him. Karin came from behind him and read the note. She inwardly smirked and told everyone about it. Hinata, Ino and TenTen seemed to be lost in thought before breaking down and crying on their boyfreinds shoulders. By now, the guys had also thought of Naruto's words the day before and hung their heads in shame. Naruto screamed and cried at the same time. Sasuke just stood there. But inside he's crying. He clutched the note and flower. Karin was about to hug him when he screamed Sakura's name. Everyone looked at him shocked. The great Uchiha Sasuke was crying.

Sasuke kicked his slippers off as he entered the house. He spotted the box and took it. It was light. 'What did she give me?' He opened the box and took out the content. It was a black music box decorated with the Uchiha crest in gold. He opened the box. He winced when he heared the tune. It was the tune she sang to him when he nearly died in the fight against Itachi. But the contents of the box made him cry. It was pictures Itachi had took of them when they were kids. Including the day he kissed her. He sunk to the floor. "Sakura, I'm so sorry... Forgive me and come home please... I love you..."
