Chapter Three- Kiss Me Goodbye (SasuSaku)

Extreme Warning: This story contains Sakura! Baziing! LOL Just playing.

It's been quite a while since Sasuke left, and Naruto's gone. He's training with Jiraiya now. And now Tsunade, the new Hokage and the legendary female ninja, trains me. It's not like I'm lonely… I read more lately and I spend some time with Tsunade-sama for training. I'm just a bit depressed…

A few weeks ago, I was sitting on the grass. I didn't do much, but I held a piece of paper and a pen. It was my free time and I thought I'd relax for a while. I wasn't sure how I felt about Sasuke anymore. At first, he was that prince charming; so quiet and strong and so… cool. Then we became great friends, along with Naruto. Maybe I really just feel like we're really good friends now.

I chuckled to myself, sitting on the grass, still having thoughts and daydreaming. I remembered how I thought the first survival training we had with Kakashi-sensei was a test of love, and such. I thought Sasuke was really cool. I thought Naruto was annoying. I mean, he still is but… I know him now.

I smiled at myself, and sighed. I laid on the grass, staring blankly at the clouds. "Sasuke, Sasuke, Sasuke," I mocked my old self. I know I've changed. I guess maybe now I understand, do I? Am I even making any sense to myself?

I took the piece of paper and sat up. I started writing on the paper, when I rested it on my lap. I wrote…

Sasuke, I know I don't know where you are…

I wrote freely; I depended on my thoughts. I really didn't care what I wrote. I just wanted to know how I felt, and I thought it might've helped if I just write it.

I know that I was annoying to you

But it was the feeling from my heart

I had to do it. I really liked you

But a friendship between us began to start

Although for some reason…

That relationship is starting to part

And I know I'm not very pretty

Like the other girls you knew

But please have some pity

For a girl who has feelings for you

I don't know if I'm hopeless

I don't know if I'm just lost in thought

I know you could care less

For the feelings that I fought

I have become fearless

But I'm scared that you might never come back

For some reason, it hurts so much

Is will something I lack?

I am disheartened about you gone

But please do this favor I'd like you to do

To you, I may not be important

But to me, I may… love you

So I ask of you to do this favor

I understand if you don't want to

Realize that this isn't a lie

Give me this only thing I want

Will you please kiss me goodbye?

I tossed the pen aside, and I laid down again. I loosely let the paper fly away, as the wind blew it off to who knows where. I didn't care. I was still not sure how I really felt. Suddenly, I started crying. And I took a short nap, before I realized my free time was over.

As I was walking, I took in the fact that I may still have feelings for Sasuke. A gust of wind blew my pink hair, and it started to tangle in the air.


Sasuke was sitting in a field. It was deserted, but he didn't feel alone, as if, someone was there with him, not physically, but in spirit. As he silently thought and wandered around inside his head, the wind blew something to him. A slightly ripped piece of paper with writing on it landed beside him. It was a bit weird, how this is coincidental, but maybe this is destiny's work. Sasuke read the letter that Sakura unintentionally wrote to him. He wondered why she would write such a thing. Did she really mean it?

He folded the piece of paper, and put it inside his pocket. "Sakura, I'm not sure what to do,"

And after a bit of a walk, he took out a pen and wrote on the same paper…

Sakura, I may not be the same cold-hearted person

But understand that I may never come back

Don't tell anyone about this letter

Don't write me anymore

Still, I wanna say thanks for the poem

You wrote it very well

It made my heart skip a beat

I know I have feelings

I'm still unsure

Tell Naruto not to find me

Tell everyone time will not waste anymore

But thank you…

And maybe… I love you too…

He folded the paper, which was now a bit torn than before, it was crumpled a little too. But he took a bird that he knows that can be trusted to send a letter back to Konoha to a certain pink-haired girl. Sasuke tied the letter to the bird's foot, and it flew away.


I finished helping Tsunade. I'm still thinking about the other day when I was writing the letter. I don't know where it is anymore. I feel kind of lost right now.

I walked home, and sat on my bed. My parents were gone. All of a sudden, a bird comes and sings on my windowsill. I took the bird in my hands, when I noticed a folded note on its foot. I untied the note, and I let go of the bird, as it flew away. I recognized that the paper was the one I used before, I could see writing, even though I didn't open it yet, because of the torn corners.

I noticed, when I opened the note, that it was Sasuke's writing. I was shocked and utterly surprised. Can you believe it!

For some reason, I was blushing, maybe because I was embarrassed about the note I made and he read it or maybe because he actually wrote back!

I read his reply and I tear ran down my cheek. I couldn't write back, but I said, "You're welcome, Sasuke. It was my pleasure." She kept the note with her ever since, not telling one soul about the letter.
