Why did you leave chapter 4

Disclaimer: the ever infamous and redundant disclaimer here.

The night was her solitude. She had seeked comfort in darkness. She bathed in the moonlit sky. She loved the night. How Ironic of her to be named after the sun, yet she swam among those of the night.

Darkness was their friend. Darkness and night was their protector. For two lovers, their paths had always been lit by that of the stars and moon, a trail to lead them to one another. Under the cover of their friend, they would stand face to face within the seclusion of the forest. There, they met, and there, they said they confessed to one another. Vowing not to love someone else. And until the night turns to dawn. They belonged to each other.

…And there. They had said their good byes.

She had been grateful that Sakura came just in time. She was thankful Kami had heard her prayers. It wasn't the fact that she couldn't stand the vessel of the kyuubi. But she had promised her heart to another. And no more could she continue living the lie.

She knew everything that went on. She wasn't stupid. Dumb. Nor was she naïve.

Haruno Sakura, despite all denials, had feelings for her man that calls himself her husband. And she could have cared less. She had intentionally left them together in hopes past feelings would arise and take them away from her. He wasn't the demon for her. No. he was not.

…had he only known that.

Life would have been easier.

Living a life without him was better than living one that was made up of lies and deceit. To awake everyday next to the one you do not love. To sleep with the man you did not love night after night. To have to see them everyday and not the one whom you wanted to see…

It was far too cruel of a torture.

Using the door for support, she had let herself slid down to the floor. Uncaring that her kimono had threatened to wrinkle up. Closing her eyes, she could still recall the numbed drumming and murmurs of the crowd from the festival.

…just like the old days…right…Sasuke?…

The sun was high and had practically burned his face. The smell of hair that fried in the sun evident in his nose.

"ugh…what happened?…" he rolled to his side only to meet the bare back of some one else. Forcing his tired eyes to open, prying them open only to meet the colors of cherry blossoms when he had normally expected to awake next to that of midnight hair.

Despite the throbbing headache he had suffered, he forced himself up. The blanket that kept him warm fell, revealing a well toned yet scarred torso. The results of endless battles. The seal had long faded away from his abdomen.

But one prying question still remained unanswered as he watched the figure next to him slowly stirred.

"…oh…my…."

AN: short chapter I know. But lately, Its been rather hard to find time to even surf the internet! AX is drawing near and most of our costumes are done D! I will be apart of a big Naruto kimono group for Anime Expo (going as Hinata with blind contacts XD) so don't be afraid to say hi:D

Hmm…how should we do the next chapter…I plan on reintroducing Sasuke sometime soon, but I'm still working that part of. And oh my! Naruto! Scandalous! XD

A/N: People have been asking why did Sasuke leave Hinata? Yes, why DID he leave her:D well, I can tell you but then again that would just ruin the entire story and I've been thinking of other plot twisters to keep my readers on the edge and try to stay away from more of the ever popular reasonings. and I'm telling you now, its not easy lol. Too much drama will be going on that's for sure!
