Chapter 6: POV and a change of plan

Sakura's POV

When he left me on that bench I felt like he had ripped my heart out with his bare hands. It wasn't like been stabbed by a hundred kunais and a hundred katanas… it was worse.

When I Naruto left to go training he promised me he would come back stronger and that he would bring Sasuke back… but it hurt even more… I was alone.

I had lost my friends, my Teammates… and if that wasn't enough… I lost my parents, the ones that raised me and that I believed to be my real parents. Not that they weren't real, they were and very loving sometimes, it was just that we didn't have genetic bonds.

Finding out my life was a huge lie was like killing me. I couldn't stand looking at the faces of those who lied to me, the ones I trusted most had betrayed me.

I wasn't thinking, I was just following my instincts. I ran away, call me a coward which I just might be, but it was the only way I found at the time.

I was the apprentice of the Hokage-sama, Tsunade. I was one of the best medic ninjas alive, some people even said I had surpassed Sanin Tsunade. And there I was finding out the hard way that I was not Haruno Sakura of the Haruno family… I was the Legendary Cherry Blossom, a no one… a girl who didn't know where she came from or who her biological parents were… a girl found in a basket…

I don't blame Tsunade for keeping the truth from me, she was probably trying to protect me or…. protect Konoha… after all the legend says I can bring hope or doom. But I just can't forgive her…she was like a mother to me (or a grandmother), I had the right to know the truth.

After leaving the village I had to do whatever helped me stay alive: Track other missing nins. I teamed up with a girl named Tsumy and then we met Toto. One day we were on a mission and I had stayed to make sure everything had happened as planned… I was low on chakra and I was having a hard time controlling myself and my newly discovered powers… that was when I saw him for the first time in years… There in front of me stood the guy I hated… Uchiha Itachi.

Itachi started saying stupid things like Akatsuki needed me and would help me out. I was really scared… especially when he said he needed me. Next thing a now he was trying to capture me like I was an animal.. that's when I meet him… Luuke.

Luuke and I fought Itachi who vanished like smoke… Luuke was a really strong shinobi who eventually joined Team Ryuu. I owe my life to him for many reasons… he saved me not only from Itachi and the Akatsuki so many times but he also saved me from myself…

A few weeks ago I saw him again… the only guy I have ever loved. Sasuke was standing there… he was so handsome that I just wanted to throw myself in his arms… but I didn't… I just acted like he wasn't even there. I went back to being the new Sakura, the mercifulness, strong, cold-hearted Sakura, The Legendary Cherry Blossom. Only I know how it was hard for me to control what I felt inside… I thought I had forgotten him but I was terribly wrong.

Here I am… Sakura… just Sakura... hearing this amazing guy telling me I'm important… Do you know when was the last time I heard some one say that and actually mean it? To be honest, I don't know if anybody ever said that to me. I have always dreamed that Sasuke would say this to me but instead here was Luuke, a guy I knew for a few months. The guy who had supported me all this time…. Sasuke is here almost next to me with his usual blank expression… why… why couldn't he be saying something like this….

Sasuke's POV

Ever since I have seen her for the first time in years I've been shocked. I don't recognize that weak and annoying kunoichi-wanna-be. Sakura has sure changed, she is a woman now…

I left the village to gain power so I can be ably to kill Itachi. That is my one and only goal. Life is so weird, ei? Now I have to stay in Konoha to achieve the goal that made me once leave. Now Sakura, the girl I always pushed away seems to be the only way for me to accomplish my lifetime goal.

I've been having these weird feeling ever since I saw her that day. I don't know what is happening to me… I don't think Uchihas are suppose to have these feelings…

Here I am watching that baka say she is important to him and that they are sending her to her grave. What grave? What happened in that room? What is happening between him and Sakura?

I don't know why but I have this urge to punch him, to make him stay far from Sakura…

Normal POV:

Luuke ignored the Kazekage and looked Sakura in the eyes. He responded the questions as if Sakura had asked him. "I do trust you Sakura and I do believe in you. I just can't and I won't sit around and watch you go on this suicidal mission. You mean too much to me…."

"I'm sorry…" Sakura said looking in his eyes.

Luuke wasn't understanding the reason she was saying she was sorry.

"I gave my word and I'm not going to go back now…" She said.

"Sakura! Stop being stubborn! Don't you see we don't want to lose you?" Keith argued.

"We who, Luuke?" She looked around. " You are the only one complaining."

Luuke didn't know what to say. No one was complain… just him. Her old friends were just starring at them. [A/N: Neither Keith or Sakura knew that no one else knew what Tsunade and the Kazekage had planned.

"I'm going to do this even if it's the last thing I do… I am going to do this Team Ryuu style!" She gave him a real smile.

Sakura hadn't smiled since she left Konoha. In fact Luuke had never seen her smile, the only smiles he got from her were fakes one.

"What do you mean by doing it Team Ryuu's style?" Gaara asked concerned.

Sakura turned around to face her ex boyfriend. "Well, your plan is good… using me as bait and stuff but I don't wanna and I'm not going to be a bait!" She said.

Gaara was having this weird feeling. He was worried she'd do something crazy. This wasn't the Sakura he knew, this wasn't the Sakura who he proposed to before she found out who she was….

"Sakura no-" Luuke was protesting again, he knew exactly what she was thinking.

"Yes Luuke. They need me don't they? They won't hurt me…" Sakura smirked. "I gotta check my old place out, see ya there.." Sakura smirked.

"Oi you little rotten cherry! Don't you even think about-" Luuke was cut off as Sakura disappeared leaving everyone with their mouth dropped open.

"Rotten Cherry?" Ino looked puzzled. "That's even better then 'forehead girl'!" Ino shouted.

Anime sweatdrop. [A/N: lol

Ignoring Ino Luuke asked the person closest to him. "Can you show me where Sakura's old place is?"

"Hn." was all that the person replied.

Sasuke escorted Luuke to the Haruno house. They entered but saw no trace of Sakura.

"We should wait here… maybe she'll come soon" Luuke murmured as Sasuke sat on the old rusty sofa.

Sakura was at the cemetery. She didn't know why she had tele-transported there when she really wanted was to go to her old house.

She looked at the stones in front of her. It was the Harunos… her parents, they ones who lied to her….

Sending you to your grave… grave… grave… Luuke's words echoed on her mind. "I'm not going to back away now! I won't be a weak girl anymore! I will destroy Akatsuki!" she whispered to herself.

A/N:
