End Recap.

Chapter 25 : Memories

Nothing, he grabbed nothing except a few cherry blossoms that had been there. Clouds started thundering; slowly rain started pouring down on them. Sasuke was on his knees, looking up at the sky facing all of the water droplets that were trying to purify the world of its impurity.

Sasuke had never felt this hopeless since the night where his entire family was murdered. He was on his last whim. He needed Sakura to survive, to live. He had been so foolish for rejecting her in the past, but he was planning on telling his true feelings to her a couple of weeks after they had come back from that mission.

It was in that mission that she was taken from him.

He had everything planned out. Even got a little help from Kakashi, that had been such an embarrassing moment for him.

Flashback

It was another hard day of training. It was night time, everyone had gone home or to Ichiraku. Only Sasuke was left on the bridge looking up at the dark sky looking for and answer to his question. Kakashi had stayed back to spy upon our dear Uchiha hoping to get a little good blackmail item. Instead he noticed the dreaming expression on his face and he jumped of his branch landed on the rail of the bridge scaring Sasuke therefore making him fall into the river.

"What your problem Kakashi-sensei!" Sasuke yelled up at him.

"Nothing, except that you look kawaii when you start day dreaming." Kakashi said with a giggle, "Bet it was something naughty about our dear Sakura"

"Shut up!" Sasuke said as his face slowly turned pink.

"Oh come on now, you didn't expect me not to notice the way you stare at her when she spars." Kakashi said with a knowing smile.

"Hn." Sasuke grunted.

"So what's your plan?" Kakashi asked.

"Want to ask her to be mine." Sasuke sighed out.

"A bit possessive are we?" Kakashi said and got a few shurikens aimed at him this time.

"Don't worry Sasuke, I'm very sure about her answer." Kakashi said, he patted Sasuke on his back.

"What would that answer be?" Sasuke asked.

"As if I'm going to tell you and ruin the suspense." Kakashi laughed out and disappeared into thin air.

"Kakashi!" Sasuke yelled out in frustration.

He looked at the river and saw a few cherry blossoms leaves riding the current. He saw the reflection of the shining white moon and saw Sakura in it. He threw a rock into the river and the image disappeared. He ran his hand through his raven locks and whispered into the breeze "Can't believe I'm in love."

End Flashback.

Naruto's world went black and white. It was always like this. They would go after her and then she would just turn away into the dark, not once looking back. He would always hope for the best but how can he hope any more when every time he puts his hopes high in the sky, they would always come back crashing down to earth. Was it useless now to be hopeful for Sakura's return?

"Oye Kit don't be foolish." A dark voice said smoothly.

"Kyuubi?" Naruto asked in wonder.

"Who else would stay in you?" Kyuubi asked sarcastically.

Naruto now looked around him to notice that he was in the cavern that was within him. The same rusted cage in which the great 9 tailed fox rested, the same water all over the place and the dark aura come from all around. Naruto looked up at Kyuubi's reddish orange eyes.

"Only you." Naruto said with a grin, but this grin wasn't like his normal ones. It didn't hold the light his usual smiles, grins or smirks hold.

Kyuubi just chuckled and then got serious and started talking again.

"Kit listen to me. If you lose hope now you will never achieve anything in your life! Even though it may seem difficult to rescue Blossom from Dragon, but it is possible. I know you can do it." Kyuubi said.

"Kyuubi, I have been trying to rescue her these past weeks but it isn't turning out right. She always goes back to them." Naruto said while glaring at the floor.

"Kit, if you give up now Sakura wont return to who she always, but instead she will turn into someone who will have to kill her close ones for her power, who she herself is afraid of. She won't like it if you gave up on her Naruto. She won't have a chance to live Naruto. Do you want that for her?" Kyuubi said in a fatherly tone.

Kyuubi had gotten used to thought of Naruto being his own son and would give up all his power to him if was for his protection.

"I obviously don't want that for her but she is making me feel like she does." Naruto said, "Do you know Dragon-teme?"

"Yeah I knew him in the days when I was free." Kyuubi said as he started to recall what had happened while he knew him "He is a man not to be messed with. He is a man who can be easily defeated if his weakness is found but he has everyone so afraid of him that no one dares try to find out."

"Kyuubi what am I going to do about this?" Naruto asked desperately.

"You can be strong about this or you can be a coward about this. To be strong you will have to suffer her leaving you a couple of times but I don't think you will need to wait for her to come to you, you can go to her. I think I remember Dragons hide out. I will lead you there and your friends." Kyuubi said, "To be a coward you have to lose hope and faith within your friend and just move on but feeling guilty all the while. So which do you choose?"

"Obviously I choose to be strong. How can I be Hokage if I'm not strong?" Naruto barked.

"Now get out of here and get Cherry back so that she can control you when Violet isn't there."

"Violet ..? Who the heck is that? YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TOKE ME TO UNCODE CHERRY? NOW YOU HAVE VIOLET?" Naruto raged.

"It didn't take you that long; you took like 15 minutes to figure it out." Kyuubi said as he raised his dark brow.

"But those 15 minutes were the worst! I felt like my brain was about to grind away." Naruto said as he grabbed his head.

"As if you even have one." Kyuubi sighed.

"I heard that!" Naruto shouted.

"I said it loudly." Kyuubi said smugly.

"why I ought to…" Naruto started.

"Just get out of here Kit." Kyuubi said.

Naruto's surroundings changed drastically, from dark gloomy room to a forest area in sunlight. He came to see that everyone except Sasuke had left. He had also noticed that …

(A/N : CLIFFIE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STORY!! )

OOOOOOOOOOOOO

Kakashi was beyond shocked. He kept on breaking his promises. First with Obito and Rin, now Sakura. Now all he wanted to do was go home and go in bed to drown in his own miserable thoughts.

Yamouto was thinking of doing the same. When he had seen Sakura he wanted her back and badly. She was like a daughter to him. She took care of him and the rest, was an amazing cook and had everything a girl would need. Without he laughter or her smile the world doesn't feel the same, the world becomes dull.

Sai just wanted to go home so he could start painting out his emotions. Since he couldn't express them right Sakura told him to paint them. When he tired it he felt relieved. He didn't know how it happened but he knew who to thank.

Flashback

Sai kept on staring at the same tree willing it to burst into flames or just die. He had never been the one to express his emotions so even if he didn't he still knew what they were. What he felt now was anger, frustration and lonely. He couldn't even think straight. His battle with Naruto didn't last long because soon he was on the ground, face to gravel.

Now he was just sitting against a tree and glaring at another tree. He felt a tap on his shoulder so he looked around to see the glowing emerald eye's he knew too well.

"What you want Ugly?" Sai asked.

"Nothing just wanted to check up on you. You weren't yourself back there. What happened?" Sakura said gently.

"Its nothing to worry over Sakura why don't you go back there and heal Kakashi." Sai said gruffly.

"I don't think this might help but it can be wroth a try. Some people when they cant do anything about their feelings they tend to take them out in a creative way. Some do excessive training, some just stare at the sky and some paint it out. Why don't you try the last one and see how that goes ok?" Sakura said with a soft smile and turned around going to Kakashi. Sai was left to deal with his thoughts.

After making excuses, Sai went home to try out what Sakura had suggested. When he got home. There were paintings all over the walls and a big white paper on a board. It looked like as if it was waiting for him. He sat in front of it and started to paint. He closed his eyes and let his emotions go wild. After a while when he opened his eyes, he was expecting to see a horrible out of shape picture but instead saw a wonderful abstract. He was truly amazed not only did the picture look first-class, he felt calm. All his emotions were in control now.

All he could do now was look out of his window and send a silent thank you to Sakura.

End Flashback.

When he looked to his left he saw that Naruto and Sasuke were in a daze and that Kakashi and Yamouto were leaving. When he opened his mouth to ask a question the answer beat him to it.

"Let them take their own time." Kakashi said and jumped onto the tree, Yamouto soon following. Sai then looked at Sauke and Naruto and then jumped on after them.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Naruto noticed that there was another chakra somewhere nearby, it wasn't Sasuke's or the others. It was ……………………………
