Sorry! Gomenasai! ;-; I'm so sorry! I haven't had a computer for the longest time, because it had to be sent to the shop, and they messed up… ;-; I have no intentions of abandoning this story! It doesn't seem very popular, but I hope I can make it become so. Again, I'm sorry. Here's the next chapter for all of you who still want to read! 3

And I suppose I should do a disclaimer… Sakura-chan?

Sakura: Hinnia loves Uchihacest!

Hinnia: Well, yes, but-

Sakura: Oh, and she does not own Naruto!

Hinnia: Good girl. I won't kill you now. :3

Sakura: o.o;

Recap:

"Tsunade-sensei…" She weeped, leaning towards Sasuke. He hugged her protectively.

"We can't stay here." She stated. "I can't live here any longer. Thanks to her, I-I've lost my whole family… For her own selfish reasons… And I trusted her!" Sakura spat out.

Sasuke listened to her words carefully as a thought crossed his mind.

"Sakura-chan… We have to do it."

"D-do what?"

"We have to run away… together."

Chapter 3 – I will never forgive you

Onyx met emerald. They stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity, looking

for clues as to what the other was thinking. Sakura abruptly stood, eyes still locked on

Sasuke's. Without words, she stood there, towering above her former crush. Sasuke saw

that she had no intentions of moving any time soon. He reluctantly stood to stand directly

in front of her. That was when he saw it. Her eyes bore no signs of sadness, regret, or

horror… In fact, they bore no signs of any emotion whatsoever. Her soul was empty at

that moment. He really had destroyed her from the inside-out. He ruined her… His little

cherry blossom, once full of attitude and energy, was now nothing but an empty shell of a

girl. And it was his fault. All my fault…

He glanced around the room to break the tention-

filled eye contact, but quickly wished he hadn't. Still around them were the bloody bodies

of the people that had meant the most to Sakura. They were her life. Without them…

Sasuke decided it was best not to finish his thoughts. He was unable to anyways, as he

now saw Sakura move from the corner of his onyx orbs.

"No…" Sakura whispered, barely loud enough for Sasuke to hear. "I refuse to trust you."

"Sakura-chan," Sasuke said clearly, "It wasn't my fault! Tsunade-"

"How dare you blame Tsunade-sensei for this! You almost had me; I almost believed

your sickening lies. Tsunade-sensei would never want a thing like this to happen to her

student." Sakura spat back. Well, at least her emotions are back, Sasuke thought

sarcastically.

"Sakura-chan, listen! You don't understand any of this. I would never want to hurt you,

either. I love you, Sakura Haruno." Sasuke said hopefully.

For a moment, Sakura stood, unmoving, contemplating his words. After what felt like a

year, Sakura's eyes dullened, hate painted over her features.

"You conniving bastard." She whispered ominously, taking a kunai out of her leg pouch

and holding it at her side. She slowly lifted it up, pointing it straight at Sasuke. "Time to

die." She said menacingly, lunging at him.

Sasuke closed his eyes, preparing for the inevitable. He would not fight back; he killed

her entire family. He knew how painful that was. My only regret is that I coundn't kill

that bastard who murdered my clan. I'm just like her; I once loved the one who ruined

my life. Itachi…

Sasuke heard a blade rip through the air, and was positive that his life was over. He kept

his eyes glued shut for a few seconds. When the pain didn't come, he reluctantly opened

one of his eyes… And fainted.
