Chapter 1

3 Years Ago

Uchiha Sasuke made his way towards the gates of Konoha. This would be the last time he would walk past those gates for a long time. The next time he would pass through these gates, he would be a traitor to the village. As he was getting closer, he heard a voice call out to him. The last person he wanted to see right now. 'I was so close,' he thought.

He turned to see Haruno Sakura a foot away from him. "You should leave Sakura," he said.

Instead of leaving she started to talk to him. "Sasuke-kun, are you leaving?" she asked. "You can't leave! You can't do this! Why are you leaving!"

"..."

"Sasuke-kun! Why don't you answer me! You always act like you hate me? Do you? Do you hate me so much you can't answer one simple question?"

Again, Sasuke answered with complete silence. She started to talk again. "Revenge won't get you anything!"

He finally answered. "I know that," he told her. "But I'm different from you and Naruto. I can't just sit back and watch my brother get away with everything he has done."

"But..." she started to say. "If you left...I would be just as lonely as you!"

"...From here on out, we all begin new paths."

"I-I love you with all my heart! If you stay, I'll make you happy Sasuke-kun! I'll make sure that everyday you're here is perfect! Or let me come with you! Just don't leave me!"

"You're really annoying," he told her.

"Sasuke-kun, if you leave, i'll scream!"

Before she knew it, Sasuke was behind her. She heard him say "Thank you" and before she knew it Sasuke hit her in the back of the neck and she passed out. Sasuke carefully put her on the nearby bench. 'Damn you Uchiha! You're leaving and the best thing you could think to say was Thank You!'

A Cherry Blossom fell on Sakura's forehead and he brushed it off. Ge started to make his way towards the entrance. Towards the Sound Four. Towards his new life. Away from the most important person to him. As he walked out of the gates, more and more Cherry Blossoms started to fall. Falling faster than the last one. Everyone thought it was the wind. No one expected the Cherry Blossoms to fall because of one girls love for a certain boy.

Present

Sakura's POV

3 years had gone by. The Cherry Blossoms that once grew in the Village of Konoha seemded to disappear. A few would grew every year but they would soon fall the day after they bloomed. The beautiful days of Konoha were less colorful, less beautiful. A lot has changed since then. A lot.

Naruto had grown a lot. He was less stupid, most people would say that. He had gotten to be rally strong. It seems that he may well be on his goal of being the next Hokage. For the past year, he's been going out with Hinata. They seem to be very happy.

Kakashi still reads those perverted books. He's not around that much as he use to be. He's always carrying out missions. But we all still try to find the time to all be together like we used to. He still trains us like hell when he has the chance.

Me? I've been okay. People say I've grown a lot. I'm studying to be a medic nin under Tsunade-sama. She says I've got a lot of talent. Once I let go of my feelings. Which is hard. It's been 3 years and I still have the same feelings for Sasuke as I did then.

As for Sasuke? He's back. He's been for two weeks. Naruto fulfilled his promise and brought him back. It's nice to know that he's back. Tsunade-sama seems to know I still like him. She keeps me away from him when he's around. I think she's scared I might get hurt again.

Right now I was making my way towards Ichiraku. She had promised to meet Naruto there. She didn't know why she was going now. He wouldn't be ther until later. Yet her feet kept dragging her there. She turned the corner and was suprised to see what was in front of her. Sasuke was at the ramen stand. He turned around and noticed her.

I smiled a little and walked towards him. 'Okay, I can do this! It's Sasuke-kun! I've talked to him about a million times! Of course, he's also been gone 3 years, been a traitor to this village, and I haven't had a chance to really speak to him.'

I sat down next to him and there was an akward silence. Sakura finally tried to start a conversation. "So...," she said. "You've been missed here. By everyone. Naruto, Kakashi-sensei, Ino-pig--"

"You?" he asked.

"Of course," I answered. "It was hard getting use to you not being here. And Naruto was always gone trying to find you. It was lonely."

"What has happened here? Everything seems different. What happened to all the Cherry Blossoms?"

"Don't know. They're never growing and when they do they fall off soon. It was once so beautiful but now it isn't. They started to fall about 3 years ago. Soon after you left."

"..."

"Sasuke-kun? What did you mean by 'Thank You'? Those were the last words you said to me."

Sasuke didn't answer. He looked surprised that I asked that. He finally said something. "It was nothing."

I stared at him for a moment. 'How can he just say it was nothing? It must have some meaning on why he said that?' "Sasuke-kun...I still feel the way I felt 3 years ago about you. Nothing has changed my feelings."

It looked like he was about to reply when I heard Naruto call my name. We both looked up to see Naruto and Hinata walking towards us. As they were walking up Sasuke told my goodbye and left. "What was that about?" Naruto asked me.

"I don't know," I answered. "Come on. I'm hungry! Let's order!"
