Chapter 2: I'll live without you

"Come on finish up dope." I said again as Naruto wolfed down his ninth bowl of ramen.

'I am so bored of sitting here watching the moron swallow more and more ramen into the bottomless pit he calls a stomach. I have better things to do right now, like train.'

"Who you calling dope? Bastard!" Naruto choked between mouthfuls.

I open my mouth to respond when I heard the most annoying thing on the planet.

"Sasuke-kun!" a girl loudly shrieked in a way that could wake the dead just so that they could kill themselves again to get away from that irritating noise.

The girl, who had a long blonde ponytail, came skipping up to Naruto and me.

Naruto stopped his gluttonous rampage and turned to see who it was. "Ino what are you doing here?" he asked tilting his head to the right.

'Gees he's more of an animal than he is human…a dumb animal, that's for sure'

"I should be asking you the same question. But I bet I already know the answer. Mind if I join you?" Ino asked sweetly and batted her lashes.

'Shit I hate it when these fan girls bother me.'

"Hn"

'Damn now I have to listen to those two talk for an hour, if Sakura were here…" I stopped myself there, she isn't here, and she's not coming back. A twinge of gilt hit me; it was my fault she isn't here. My fault wasn't coming back.

That day, the day she left it had seemed like a normal, boring day. We were twelve at the time. Training had just ended, and she was again preaching on and on about how I shouldn't push myself too hard and how revenge isn't everything and all the other things she worried about me. It was hot and humid which made me mad already, and she kept going and going till finally I snapped.

Flashback "And what are you going to do after you kill him huh? And…"

"You're annoying," I said ending her incessant ranting.

"Huh?"

"You're annoying and weak and you would probably never survive if it weren't for your parent's and teammates protecting you all the time."

"I…I…"

I probably should have stopped there, but it was too hot and she was too damn annoying.

"You couldn't even live if it weren't for your mother and father to wipe away your tears." I said coldly.

Tears started to form in Sakura's eyes. Naruto jumped at me after seeing that.

"Shut up Sasuke-teme!" he hissed through his teeth.

Just then the Hokage's apprentice appeared before of us.

"Sakura, the Hokage wishes to see you as soon as you are free."

"I'm free now please tell Hokage-sama I shall be there momentarily."

And with that the apprentice bowed and disappeared with a 'poof'.

"I wonder what the was all about?" Said Naruto puzzled as he tilted his head to the side. "Is there something special happening Sakura?"

"No not that I no of…I wonder what could it be?"

End of Flashback

It wasn't until the next day that Naruto and I found out that the Hokage called her to tell her that her parent's died and that she ran away. She left only a note.

'I will survive, now that I have lost them I still will survive. I'll live without you.'

'I'll live without you.'

'Only Naruto and I know what she meant by "I'll live without you."'

'Even now after six year I still feel, pain, gilt, anger… what am I saying I must stop thinking about her and focus on my goals: kill Itachi, and revive my clan.'

I shook my head trying to force my attention on the conversation Naruto and Ino were having, but I couldn't. Instead I scanned the people around us. They were the usual crowd of villagers and ninjas. Then something caught my eye. In the corner of the place was a lone person, dressed entirely in black.

They wore a black cape that hid all of their body except for the bottom of a pair of black boots and their head was completely concealed by a large black hood.

The person, be it male or female I could not tell, was staring directly at us. I was about to get up and see who this noisy person was when Naruto slapped me on the back and said "What the hell you staring at bastard!"

I turned to him, "None of your business dope."

When I turned back to face the person again they had gone. I looked around to see were they had gone but I could find no trace of the black hooded figure…
