Wishing you were somehow here again

Many people gathered in Konoha square. Sobs were heard and tears were seen. Many thought it was the death of Konoha's only flower, Haruno Sakura. Only the sole member of once great Kakashi's Team 7 knew where she was. Including team 8, 9, and 10 (1) knew of the dark secret, also the Hokage.

You were once my one companion,
you were all that mattered.
You were once a friend and father,
then my world was shattered.

Tsunade took her place, behind the podium, and spoke; "Today we are gathered here to honor the death of one of our fellow jounins (2), Haruno Sakura. She was my student and one of the candidates of being Hokage. She brought a warm bright smile to all our faces. Sakura wasn't like any other student, she was, by far most, the only kunochi (3) under the tutelage of the Copy Ninja, Hatake Kakashi…….."

As Naruto heard the current Hokage go on with her speech, he only wondered in his seat, first row along with the others, what would have happened if Sasuke didn't leave.

Wishing you were somehow here again,
wishing you were somehow near.
Sometimes it seemed if I just dreamed,
somehow you would be here.

Tree after tree were broken. Grunts and pants were heard in the vast land that once held trees. CRACK. Another tree.

"Sasuke-kun, please stop destroying Orochimaru's land." A voice said.

"Fuck off. And don't call me that." Sasuke rang.

"Whatever you say, Master Sasuke" Kabuto pushed his glasses up from the bridge of his nose and slowly disappeared from Sasuke.

Sasuke opened his palm to reveal something. Something he knew he couldn't take it but he had to, he wanted to. It was a necklace that Sakura had around her neck on the day he left. He stole the necklace when he knocked her out and placed her on the nearest bench within the walls of Konoha.

Wishing I could hear your voice again,
knowing that I never would.
Dreaming of you won't help me to do,
all that you dreamed I could!

He remembers her voice, all silky like. He remembers her emerald eyes that sparkled with hope. He remembers her soft pink hair. He shook his head in order to rid himself of those thoughts. 'NO! I can't have these thoughts. I have to avenge my family.' After he concluded that he wasn't going to have these thoughts no more, he went back to destroying mother earth.

Passing bells and sculpted angels,
cold and monumental.
Seem, for you, the wrong companions,
you were warm and gentle.

Sakura's body was blown to a tree as she let out cry of pain. "At this rate kunochi you'll never be able to defend yourself from unknown attacks." Itachi said as he gracefully flew down from the tree tops. They were surrounded by dense trees and they were in the middle of the clearing.

"What exactly is your mission?" asked Sakura as she stood up from where she as fallen.

"We have to get someone." Itachi replied vaguely. His eyes pierced a hole in to her. He turned around in the exact same spot and started to walk.

"You could at least wait for me." Sakura yelled to, well no one. She let out a groan as she ran towards the back of the retreating figure. Back. She remembered that was all she saw when it was her genin days. The back of Kakashi-sensei. The back of Naruto. The back of Sasuke. She hated him but yet still followed him around. Remembering all these memories, she failed to notice a single tear making its way down her cheek.

Too many years fighting back tears,
why can't the past just die!

Sakura kept on walking seeing the back of Itachi, with her face down. Itachi stopped in his tracks.

Wishing you were somehow here again,
knowing we must say goodbye!
Try to forgive, teach me to live!
Give me the strength to try!

She made contact with his back and stumbled back trying to regain her balance. "Hey! Why you stopped for?" she yelled. "We're here." He said dryly. "Where?" she asked.

"The Akatsuki hideout." He replied, "Come now. I want you to meet my friends." With that he entered the cave with a dumbfounded Sakura out side. Before going in she whispered into the wind "Good bye…"

No more memories, no more silent tears!
No more gazing across the wasted years!
Help me say goodbye
Help me say goodbye...
