Chapter 1 –See You Soon, Sakura

Snow day. It was snowing that day, on the day that Sasuke shall fight Itachi. Little white remnants fell from the sky.

A winter wonderland. Children all around making snowmen, throwing snowballs, and just having fun. Sasuke slowly walked through the streets, covered in a blanket of fresh snow.

'How I admire the children, no sorrow. They don't have to feel the way I do.' Thought Sasuke, pocketing his hands.

Plop plop plop, went his feet on the soft, white snow. He walked up to the green gate of Konoha Village. He looked back and sighed. His onyx eyes displayed sadness, and he looked to the side.

Plop!

A snowball on his face. He brushed off the frozen ball. A giggle heard. He turned, and saw Sakura.

He smiled, and then returned to his original face showing sorrow.

"Ohayo Sasuke-kun!" said Sakura and a smile beamed from her beautiful face. Sasuke showed no emotion. She couldn't guess what he was feeling.

"Sasuke-kun, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you angry…" Sakura's smile slowly turned into concern. He has been like this ever since he decided to battle Itachi.

Flash Back

"I'm going to fight Itachi. It's about time that bastard died. He has killed far too many lives to continue living." stated Sasuke at Kakashi

"Sasuke-kun, that means you're going to leave us! You're risking yourself to death!"blurted Sakura.

"It's a sacrifice I must make for my family, or whats left of it anyway. He doesn't deserve to be called an Uchiha. My family risked their life to make me live, it's time I did the same. He killed them, and soon he'll kill me too. Not unless I kill him first. "replied Sasuke

"But…"said Sakura, but Sasuke glared at her intending her to stay out of the conversation.

"Okay Sasuke, If you really think it's for the best, I'm allowing you to go." Said Kakashi. Sasuke nodded, turned, and left.

Sakura looked at Kakashi with weary eyes, and he said "He'll be back soon." And he smiled.

End Flash Back

"No, Sakura. I'm not angry." Replied Sasuke. He walked to the side of a tree, and sat there, on the icy snow. Frost bite on his hand, as he bent down to touch it. He jerked. Sakura kneeled down to examine the frost-bitten hand.

"Don't worry, Sasuke-kun. It's just a little frost bite." said Sakura, gently stroking the frost bitten hand. Sasuke withdrew his hand in an instant.

"I'm not worried, Sakura." replied Sasuke, reassuringly. Sakura smiled. He rubbed his hands together. Then Sakura waved her hand over the frostbitten one of Sasuke to relieve the pain with one of her nin-jutsus.

"Okay, that's good." Said Sakura, then she sighed. It's no secret that she cares for him. A fog of breath escaped her mouth. Sasuke calmed. He stood up, and began to walk back to the gate.

"So, you're leaving me again?" said Sakura, in a depressing tone. He nodded, and continued walking. She grabbed his wrist, the un-frost bitten one.

"Please, don't leave me! Let me come with you! I could help you!" said Sakura, in a concerned tone.

"No." he replied, and he pulled his wrist away. A tear trickled down her flawless skin. She was felt as if she was stabbed with a million daggers ripping through her broken heart. Now outside the gates, he continues walking.

"Why not?" she asked. Tears streamed down her face. She rubbed her eyes with her mitten covered hands. The once sparkling emerald eyes turned into dull lifeless ones.

"I don't want you to get hurt, Sakura." answered Sasuke, folding his arms as he continued walking down the forest outside Konoha.

"See you soon, Sakura." And he disappeared in the foggy forest. His voice faded into the air. She knelt down, on the frosty snow and cried quietly.
