Epilogue

I know I said no epilogue but oh well I couldn't help it. Plus this might have hints of what's to come in the sequel, oh and some flash backs

Five months.

It had been five months since that day.

Sasuke was standing by their bridge the bridge where team 7 would meet while he reminisced of the night of his escape from Akatsuki clutches.

Flashback

He was peering through the glass window watching the clouds drift past clouding the moons spherical light. It was then when he felt a familiar chakra signature approach him and he immediately recognized the chakra.

"What do you want, Sakura?"

Startled slightly she stepped into the moonlight pooling from the window, it's heavenly light illuminating the worried frown etched onto her feminine features. Her foot took another cautious step her hand raised towards him and falling gently onto his shoulder, he tensed under her unpredicted contact.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing" he said stiffly moving from her consoling touch.

"Sasuke. I know you-"

"Shouldn't you be with Itachi?" he snapped harshly over his shoulder.

"Don't you dare try and brush me off Sasuke, I know you more than you think."

"Hn"

"You're annoying"

"Me?"

"Yes you! You act so off Standish whenever someone tries to help you, always pretending you're better than anyone else!"

"I-"

"No! Listen to me Uchiha" she spat his name like venom from the mouth "Someone needs to knock you off that pedestal you put yourself on. You are no better than us, if anything you're worse."

"Surprising coming from a girl who betrayed her village and run off with a criminal. You're just Itachi's little bitch!"

A stinging feeling spread through his face along with a red handprint, he looked back to Sakura slowly to see tears leaking from her eyes cascading down her face relentlessly. The guilt was clear across his face, he had gone too far now.

"Get out!"

"Sakura-"

"No! Get out! Leave! I never want to see your face again"

"But-"

"Go on. Flee back to Konoha"

Apologizing was useless she wasn't listening. The best thing to do was leave, which is what he did without a glance back or a regret. He would see to it that he would make it up to her somehow, even if it meant using force he would show her how much he was sorry and how much he loved her.

End Flashback

He hadn't heard from her since that day.
